Theres a video of it posted on the MB.

Pro athlete likes to party... There will be a huge issue made of this but as long as it isn't a habitual thing for him, who really cares?

He should be suspended not for doing the drugs but for being dumb enough to put it on social media
 
I understand the whole 'role model' arguement for why athletes should be punished for stuff like this, but I dunno... I just don't really see why their standard has to be that stringent.

It would be different if it was more blatant or habitual, for sure.

And I'm not a drug user myself: an occasional joint, and one time samplings of shrooms and MDMA. But, if he's not being disruptive in public... who cares?

Basically this.

I don't condone the use of hard drugs but its his life and it doesn't appear to be a long term issue.

Hes an adult, let him live the way he sees fit as long as he isn't being a menace.

I don't either (with regard to the stringent standard), and agree that basically what you do in your own time should be your own business until others are negatively affected; but if your employment contract specifically states you can't do it, and you want to keep getting paid your pretty damn sweet salary, then don't do it. I managed to refrain from doing drugs at my last place of employment because it was specified in my contract and I knew that going in. Occasionally it was annoying, but that's what I signed up for. I've now swapped jobs and I don't have to worry.
If he really, really needs to party that badly, then change professions...

That's fair.
 
Great period by the blues. We knew that Bruins would come out flying and the blues answered first. Leta keep it going
 
Why the f*** is NBC interviewing Lance Armstrong? He cheated, I don’t want to hear him make excuses for trying to justify it, plain and simple. He’s a cancer survivor which is great and all, but his dishonesty will forever stain his legacy.

Just stay out of the box. I know easier than done and I know they have a better pk than Carolina but the blues need to play 5 on 5

That sport is completely stained. More dopers than non dopers. Some of the stories I’ve read regarding cycling and doping make the 70’s/80’s nfl look amateurish
 
Great first. Blues are buzzin, definitely give that first to them. Boston really struggled to get anything going for a large part of that period.
