    Wasn't Gregory one of the red flag guys before the draft?

    Are teams dumping players earlier than normal or was it just the few announcements this week make it seem that way? Lions actually have some cap sanity this year and Tulloch seems to have been released because of age. Rams didn't seem to be in trouble either.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Gregory would have been a 1st round pick if not for the red flags.

    I wonder if the Rams are clearing cap space to make a big splash in FA to sell the team to the new fans. Peyton Manning maybe?

    Right now they are claiming their medical people (who the NFL love to refer to as scientists, which is not true in most cases) it should still be illegal. So they will do nothing.

    I thought the NFL position was that legal or not, the league can still prohibit it's use in their workplace as a controlled substance under federal law.

    Of course. They could also stop testing for it under the Drug and Alcohol Policy. They could also still suspend players if they commit a crime by possessing the pot in a location where its still illegal.

    My point wasn't that the NFL is on shaky ground, my point was they are not interested in making any change at all.

    I am growing old with all this nonsense about weed. The NFL needs to stop testing for it, and consider it no more harmful than alcohol.

    Do you really care? I couldn't care less bout what rules and restrictions they put in place. They can ban refined sugar for all I care.

    Smoke in the states where its legal? Drink in counties where its legal? Just do so after hours and not get caught on a drug test I suppose.

    Mayock Looks Ahead To Vikings Later Draft Options

    Posted Feb 23, 2016

    and:

    http://espn.go.com/blog/minnesota-vi...nesota-Vikings

    Minnesota Vikings should focus on offensive line, receiver at NFL combine

    The Vikings are looking to upgrade their offensive line when they replaced coach Jeff Davidson with Tony Sparano. They'll look for help for a group that allowed quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to be pressured on almost one-third of his dropbacks last season.

    They also could look for help at wide receiver, especially if they decide to move on from Mike Wallace rather than paying him $11.5 million next season.


    GO PACKERS ! GO PACK GO !
