Travis Henry tests positive for being an idiot

[Displaced Flames fan]

Marijuana test is positive.

2nd time offender, could face a yearlong suspension.

I knew Selvyn Young would come in handy.

The Broncos should ask for their money back.

What a maroon.

I'm not sure that this has hit the news yet so I have no link. It's true though.

But who will pay for his 9 kids. Brutal person.

I just don't get why Mike always has to bring this kind of player with this kind of personality into Denver ... quite frustrating.

Ouch. Go Selvin.

Clarett

Gerrard Warren

McGlockton

Saurbrun

frankly, i dont get what the big deal is. who amongst us lose our job for a year if we smoke pot?

he hasnt done any harm to society, his team, the league or himself. what a stupid rule, why dont they test him for beer and wine in his system too?

The difference is that beer and wine aren't illegal. Yeah I think people are a little too uptight about weed, especially our neighbours to the south. Hell I smoke once in a while too. But the fact remains that it's a rule, a rule thats backed up by random testing, and I can't believe how many times we hear about players breaking this. All I know is, if a team signed me and said they were going to pay me $5 million a season, but that I couldnt smoke weed, BELIEVE me, I wouldnt smoke!

The dumb thing for Henry is that this was a chance to have a big breakout year too. Since the Bills drafted McGahee, Henry's fallen under the radar in Buffalo and Tennessee, this was his big year to prove he is a star-calibre player in this league. All the stars aligned for him too when he signed in Denver, who is known as an excellent running team. Reporters in pre-season called for Henry as an excellent fantasy back, also seeing this as what should be his comeback year. And so far its been just that for him. But now he goes and does this, what a dummy.

Jeebus....the Raiders might just win the AFC West if this all keeps up.

You are correct...everyone should do as they wish...laws and rules be damned. Steroids should be allowed as well because it doesnt hurt society, actually helps him and his team, and who cares what the league thinks anyhow...right?

Every single standard PC in the NFL makes it UBER clear that any testing of banned or illegal substances will bring harsh consequences...he has agreed to that clause twice, and failed to live up to that agreement twice.

he will get a year for being dumb as much as huffin back some weed.

There are companies out there now that do have mandatory drug testing for their employees and they do face termination if they fail the test. I imagine Travis Henry being an NFL player makes a bit better living than you do. So if he wants to smoke pot and not get fired from his job I guess he can get a regular job like the rest of us.

[DementedReality]

fine .. its against the rules, and therefore he should be man up to the consequences.

i just dont see what the big deal is that it should be against the rules, but drinking alcohol isnt.

ya ya, pot is against the law and beer isnt. i guess thats the only difference, but i think its week. jay walking is against the law too, but would the NFL suspend a player for jay walking?

Because performance enhancing drugs are a hot button issue right now, and pot got swept up in the race to imposs the harshest penalities.

How this dude was dumb enough to get caught this many times is a better question. How he got 9 broads pregnant without figuring out the a case of rubbers is cheaper is another better question.

abiding by laws is weak? One is an illegal drug, and the other is walking on the road. Comparing testing positive for drugs and jaywalking is weak.

Besides, for a moment pretend you are responsible for the multibillion dollar assset that is the NFL. You may not be thinking about how weak the reasoning is when millions of people are questioning the credibility of your league because of the behavior of its members. Some of which have 7 year old kids spending 100 bucks for their jersey. I don't know if you have been responsible for large assets or not, but if not, trust me you become very cautious of its performance.

I, for one, admire the NFL's hardline stance on these issues and I hope they take the same stance on other issues in the future. It was Pete Rozelle's vision to have a league of outstanding citizen athletes, not just athletes.

Any corporation has a right to demand it's employees abide by its rules. I think it's great and wish more companies would drug test. I know there are quite a few services I would rather not have performed for me by some baked moron.

And I for two.

That was a hell of a vision ol' Pete had, but it's about as likely to happen as the vision I once had about Loni Anderson that ended up in a wet secret.

There is a difference between "marijuana user" and "baked moron", just like there is a difference between "beer drinker" and "drunk at work".

So let's just quit disciplining athletes that break the law ... that oughtta help the league out.

The vast majority of what ol Pete envisoned has come true and is the envy of every sports league on the continent. I haven't turned a small operation into a multi billlion dollar industry so I'm not about to question how they decide to manage their business.
