I'm going to say anything besides performance enhancing. He doesn't seem to care enough about his career to cheat to get better.

 
I'll take the Coke. That #### that makes your whole face numb. It's an in and out of the system drug... not weed that you need to be worried about a week or two later.

ETA: If he were smart he'd be dropping dose. LSD expends the mind. He could use that... IMO. Heh. Heh.

Who cares he can be dropped in dynasty leagues damn near. He's done.
Teams are gonna want to gamble on that kind of talent. The only way he's done is if he doesn't perform or is barred from playing..

Media tends to demonize drugs and over exaggerate their significance in pro sports. Personally don't care what anyone does outside of PEDs which I think hurts the game in many ways.

Dude he's going to be piss tested 8 times a month for the rest of his career. He's a "huge" dog to even piss clean for the first year.

We'll see. He certainly has incentive.

 
I own Blackmon and I wish I could say you have a point but he had a ton of incentive this last time he pissed hot.

Greater chance he never plays again..........

the chance he plays again is pretty close to 100%. he may blow the opportunity but as long as he passes tests he will get another shot.

 
Haha ok I guess we'll see. He got a nice signing bonus when he was drafted and now he has plenty of time on his hands. I mean what could possibly go wrong? Amiright?

 
Outside of a hair test, the absolute longest alcohol can be detected is 5 days. Pretty unprecedented if he just lost his season and $10 million bc of alcohol. I'm sticking with my gut and saying it was weed, although I can't wait to find out... I'm sure this will be public soon, correct?http://alcoholism.about.com/od/work/qt/How-Long-Does-Alcohol-Stay.htm
He gets tested twice a week in the program.
So he really is just this dumb? What was his wonderlic score? Single digits I assume...

 
Just want to mention that cocaine is an absolutely fantastic drug. Any of you guys who haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and pick up an 8 ball for the games tomorrow. You're welcome!

 
I did vote for weed, didn't just hi-jack the thread to call out our old friend, lol. New avatar, same scumbag.

 
besides DUI or an arrest, how does one fail a test for alcohol? I thought it leaves your body in 12 hours or so and its legal... confused how it could be just booze

I just traded him away for Golden Tate and a 2014 3rd. I was also offered M Austin and a 2nd from another owner, but preferred the 1st offer. So, at least in this dynasty league, there's still perceived value. I'm just not going to be the one who bears the risk of owning him anymore. Too much history building up with this guy.

 
Yeah I was offered Bowe for him by one owner and a 3rd round pick from another. I'm going to hold him until next year and see if he comes back with the intention of trading him as soon as he has a good game or two.

I heard heroine's 100x better and you won't need football to enjoy it either...

Having said that, I will not touch either.

 
He got high on life!

If life is a white powdery line and a fat blunt with a 40 oz to wash it down.

I love heroine too, especially Joan of Arc.
And I would totally touch her.

Getting arrested for a DUI puts you in the NFL drug program that also tests you for alcohol. If you don't get arrested you can drink yourself to death.

 
Taking a step back for a moment...why do we care if our NFL players smoke weed again? Why is that even tested for? I'm being serious.

 
DUI just like the other times... Probably out with his buddies on a bye week and some scout from the Titans followed him and called the cops to report a drunk driver when he got in his car to leave (that's my conspiracy theory).

I doubt it was DUI b/c that would have been a public record and news would have been broke before the suspension was announced.

Can someone explain why they can restrict him from drinking? Is it part of the NFL substance abuse program?

If a player is arrested for DUI (or any alcohol related incident), pretty sure they fall into this bucket.
