And I guarantee at least half of the tenured professors there smoked pot for a least some time during their lives. A few of them were world renowned scientists. Ricky is a loser because of his quitter personality and his refusal to be held accountable to anyone but himself. Hell, he's not even accountable to his own damn children. You can be a winner and still smoke pot, it can be a fairly harmless drug, much less harmful than alcohol, as long as you don't let it dominate your life.
YOU CAN BE A WINNER AND STILL SMOKE POT!!!
not sure if you mean winners are successful because they smoke pot or in spite of the fact that they smoke pot...
It is a drug and should not be used for recreational purposes (but I also believe tobacco and alcohol are drugs), if it has a medicinal value then it should be used as such, by prescription. We have to be careful what we say as I have seen numerous posters here that are minors and i am sure we get many more that are lurking.
With regard to RW: If any one can convince RW to come back to the NFL and to give it his all and to be a team first kinda guy, IT IS NICK!!!!! If RW comes back with the right temperment and a competitive fire in his eyes and a desire to prove all the naysayers wrong, I will be happy to have him back!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully, he comes back and Saban utilizes this resource/employee to its maximum effect for the betterment of our football team. If he does not perform well or acts flakey then fire his a$$. We now have Big Bad Brown. Ricky deserves a second chance, like so many of us have received second chances. This time the offense will not be placed squarely on his shoulders, so if he leaves again, or is released due to his behavior the impact will not be the same.
