Now that Denver Broncos Running Back Travis Henry has tested positive for marijuana and put his career in jeopardy, it begs the question, Why is it that so many athletes risk their livlihood to smoke drugs? In the past few years, you can almost field a fantasy team worth of players who have been caught using recreational drugs: QB: Michael Vick RB: Ricky Williams, Travis Henry WR: Randy Moss, David Boston TE: Jerramy Stevens Even more, at the last NFL scouting combine, top rookies Calvin Johnson, Gaines Adams, and Amobi Okoye all admitted to previously using marijuana!! Then again, if you are 20 years old and have millions to spend, what else are you going to spend it on? You can only have so many fancy cars and HD TV's!! I even remember years back when a bench player for the Celtics had a big Halloween party at his place in Boston. He was 24 with millions to spend, and so he had a special room in his house just for marijuana smoking! Can you imagine?...

  • Bam Morris could come off the bench.
  • good call..
  • Now all you need is a Kicker and a few IDP players for this list and your fantasy pot team is complete.
  • Any suggestions?
  • Nate Newton can do the blocking and drive the team bus
  • That's not a bad fantasy team right there.
  • Barrett Robbins can help Nate block!
  • Yeah, and the bus is just a front for a traveling weed distrubution network.
  • Janikowski was busted w/ GHB, can we just assume he smokes weed and voilla there's your kicker.
  • LOL.
  • Maybe Snoop Dogg can be one of your trainers, he will make sure that everyone has plenty of smoke, and hydrated with gin and juice in the Gatorade cups.
  • Michael Irvin can be the team coach and give speeches like...."Weed, c'mon y'all ain't trying hard enough...I'm gonna call me some hard-pipe hittin' brothas and we'll get this season on and crackin!"
  • LMAO! Him and Lawrence Taylor along with Hollywood Henderson.
  • I assume that Morten Anderson has smoked some medical marijuana for his developing Alzheimer's disease.
  • Robert Parrish was the biggest Pot Smoking athlete of all time, just ahead of Bill Walton.
  • What makes anybody jeopardize their livelihood by addictions. Any addictions. It is not exclusive to druguse only. Obviously, they have a problem and need help and prayer. And sometimes the people who never get caught or blasted have the worse problems but it is covered up.
  • you need calvin johnson on there, he hit the blunt
  • Ur an ass hole If the media was not so focused on trying to keep black talent under their foot they would notice that the only players that see to get tested are african americans. I think that its because Black guys are the best players and people like you cant stand to see it. After all the nfl is 74% black so what do you think about that. U mean to tell me you dont think Jermy shockey smokes Pot???
  • 74% black then chances are they will get tested more fool
  • LETM EM LITE............WAT ELSE CAN U DU?
  • let them all hit the blunt hell everyone needs a lil weed every now n then but vick mite have a problem hittin the pipe in prison but lmao nice blog!!!
  • The NFL does nothing but promote alcohol at every conceivable opportunity while hypercritically and sanctimoniously treating marijuana use as a so called intolerable vice. If Marijuana is that bad for you, then why is it so hard to find top tier athletes, that don't smoke pot?

    Let's all get a life and leave our fellow citizens to make their own choices!

    No amount of money, police powers, weaponry, diminution of rights and liberties, wishful thinking or pseudo-science will make our streets safer; only an end to prohibition can do that. How much longer are you willing to foolishly risk your own survival by continuing to ignore the obvious, historically confirmed solution?

    If you still support the kool aid mass suicide cult of prohibition, and erroneously believe that you can win a war without logic and practical solutions, then prepare yourself for even more death, corruption, terrorism, sickness, imprisonment, unemployment, foreclosed homes, and the complete loss of the rule of law and the Bill of Rights.
  • Bam Morris, that's hilarious. lol...he grew up like 10 miles where i went to college and it's a huge joke....Yeah remember Mark Tuinei, he died from mixing heroin and extasy...pretty much you can include all the early/mid 90's cowboys...and early 2000s--quincy carter, troy hambrick, man the list goes on haha
