Bobby Bonilla is somewhere laughing about hard hard Floyd had to work for that money.

Floyd seems like he doesn't offer any fantasy upside no matter where he lands.

For the #Vikings and new WR Michael Floyd, it's a 1-year-deal worth roughly $1.5 million with incentives up to $6M, source said.

Sober Cris Carter says he’ll take Vikings’ Michael Floyd under his wing
Irony and redemption rolled up in one. The only type of fall guy Floyd needs is a driver.

TMZ Sports reports Michael Floyd has violated terms of his arrest by testing positive for alcohol.
Unbelievable. Floyd's alcohol monitoring system reportedly flagged him five times earlier this week. At least three of those were deemed "high alcohol tests," and Floyd allegedly blew BAC counts of .044 and .055 on two of them. Under terms of his house arrest stemming from his extreme DUI last year, Floyd isn't permitted to have a single drop of alcohol. He's blaming the failed tests on an herbal tea. If the court determines Floyd broke the rules, he could be headed back to jail. He's due back in court on June 26 in Arizona to "explain" the failed tests.

Just another example of how powerful substance addiction can be. I'm sure it's really boring being stuck in your house for three months straight and it's not the best environment for kicking an addiction, but come on. So much on the line and these guys just can't seem to find an alternative. Not even a temporary one. It's really sad. I honestly feel sorry for guys like this.

People in Lynchburg think he's a stud
Because their #4 WR at best is unlikely to play? The FAR more likely scenario, that was likely regardless of Floyd's status, is that Treadwell steps up into the #3 role, with potential for much more.

That is actually quite a plausible explanation. Kombucha is good stuff, and it's good for your digestive system. I can down four in a day, but it does have naturally occurring alcohol in it because it is made from fermented tea leaves. It is less than what's in an O'Douls, so if he gets nabbed for that then the NFL is ree-freaking-diculous

good point--if the law pops him for this and it is true all he drank was Kombucha, then the law is ree-freaking-diculous.
How much Kombucha would you have to drink to get your blood alcohol that high? 50 in a day? I think this is obviously one of those things where the easiest explanation is also the correct one, and that is that he is lying and absolutely drank alcohol, and not just on one occasion.

A friend shared this with me. I think Floyd may be stretching the truth...
One bottle of Kombucha contains .5% alcohol which is about 1/8 the alcohol content of one can of Bud Light. So you would have to drink 48 bottles of Kombucha to catch the buzz of a six pack of light beer.

According to his BAC it doesn't really look like he was trying to catch a buzz. Depending on the size of a person and what he's eaten, one beer can put a person's BAC at .055.
With such a low BAC I think he may have a pretty solid chance of getting out of it.

He plays his game like it as of late. This guy had so much potential, now it has gone the way of Josh Gordon and Justin Blackmon virtually.

From a BAC calculator, when you put in Floyd's age and weight, it would take 4 5% beers in an hour to get to .055 BAC. Since Kombucha is .5% alcohol (max - they are in a dispute with the Feds because some, not all, samples of the stuff hit 0.5% alcohol, which is the threshold for alcoholic beverages).
So 1 5% beer = at least, maybe more, 10 kombuchas.
That means Floyd would have had to down at least 40 12 oz bottles (just under 4 gallons) in an hour to hit that BAC, and the stuff is not prone to binge drinking by the accounts.
Sorry, calling BS on this. Oh, and Michael, let your lawyer know that the courts really frown on incredulous BS when trying to talk your way out of a violation of parole.

If it has less alcohol in it leas than O'Douls then he wouldn't have blown a .055.

Probably not until we know what happens for sure with this latest incident. It doesn't look good but maybe he manages to get out of it because his BAC was pretty low.

Is Michael Floyd underrated?
Yes he is.
I thought not way could he screw his life up any worse and I was wrong. I went way beyond what I thought he could do

I don't even get why they signed him. He's not good. He's never been good either. He was in the best possible situation for a young WR and he just couldn't make it happen. 2011 WR class was just loaded with bust after bust: Stephen Hill, Justin Blackmonm Brian Quick, Reuben Randle, Ryan Broyles, A.J. Jenkins, Kendall Wright and Michael Floyd were all drafted in the first 2 rounds.The one good pick was Alshon and he couldn't even earn a 2nd deal with the the team that drafted him.
Sorry to throw cold water on all our dynasty rookie picks
