Wow. Didn't see that one coming, huh?

Hmmm. I guess this settles the discussion from a few weeks ago..."shouldn't the Redskins pick up RW to back Portis?"

Who could possibly be surprised by the news ? All a true stoner wants is herb, and the means to procure it.
Ricky ran out of money, and came back.
I'm not damning the man; I know a lot of stoners. Some of them are the most laid-back, non-argumentative people you're ever gonna meet. I'm just saying, let's call a kettle a kettle and move on.

Can't say I didn't give the guy another chance. I can't see myself advocating for this guy any longer.

No suprise here but you would think he would kicked the pot for a couple of years while he was back in the NFL. Well, now he is screwed again.

Theory 4:
Why did you get suspended, Ricky?
"Because i got high, because i got high, because i got hiiiiiiigh"

I am a supporter of the legalisation of marijuana to remove the criminal element from it. Marijuana is probably less harmful than the deadly combination of tobacco and nicotine that kills many year after year. The man is not taking drugs to enhance his performance.
It is illegal nevertheless and he is going to pay dearly. His career may be over.

The bad thing, for Ricky, is that unlike other drugs (cocaine, heroin), marijuana stays in your "system" for 30-45 days...longer if you're heavier. It's hard to mask marijuana use. Cocaine and heroin only stay in your system (and are traceable) for about 3-4 days.
Message to Ricky - switch to coke, dude. (God, I crack myself up.)

Hopefully there was some kind of mistake because he really is a decent good. Im going to hold out hope for Ricky.
That is one bad helmet, I wonder why Sean doesn't use that style.

I'm not 100% on this, but I don't think that's a regulation visor. Looks awesome, but if our guys are getting fined 5K for socks I wouldn't want to see the League bill on this one!

I think he has a waiver to wear that.
Players are fined about the same for wearing unapproved visor as they are for wearing socks that don't match the rest of the teams. Of course the fines are much larger when the B&G colors are invovled

Looks like he'll fight for himself this time. Last time he just took off after saying he enjoyed smoking bud. Now he is saying that he hasn't been smoking and the yoga and holistic medicine precludes him from taking most supplements.
