People wonder why some of these guys carry weapons. Robinson was robbed at gunpoint last night. If he had a gun, he might have prevented a $100,000 loss. Or he might have been shot in a shootout. Hell, he might have been shot anyway even if he wasn't carrying.
Then, I've read some fans who say, "what was Kendricks doing out at 2 a.m?". I suppose that's coming from choir boys who when young and single were never out at 2 a.m..
As far as reefer, so what? Not a hard drug. Not a performance enhancer. Perfectly legal in many states. It should be legalized nationwide. I know guys who previously were anti-pot but now smoke it medicinally to alleviate pain.
That being said, these youngsters who probably now have more money than their family ever had over their lives, need to be smart about things.
My dear grandmother who watched her husband piss away money at bars, a long, long time ago, told me "sonny, don't help make some barkeep rich. Buy a bottle of liquor or case of beer and drink at home. No chance of getting in trouble there". This from a women who knew how many shots in a fifth, how many glasses in a keg and could do the math to show how much profit the barkeep made!
I think the NFL, besides giving them a class about how to stay out of trouble, needs to re-emphasize it again and again, to ensure they learn. It is in the leagues best interest.
