he's from pahokee, gotta do what you gotta do to make ends meet.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:19 PM ^
Or you could get a real job.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:21 PM ^

The article I read said that his family had enough money to buy essentials like food. Santonio said he used the money to buy gifts for himself such as shoes. I think that it's great that he's bringing this up before the super bowl. Hopefully other youngsters "from Pahokee" can learn from him, now that he's in the super bowl instead of on the corner.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:37 AM ^
Any clue why pahokee is such a mess? It's not a big place.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:24 PM ^
Well, I guess I don't really know the hood, but why can't you get jobs in Pahokee?
January 29th, 2009 at 12:47 AM ^
Pahokee more aptly described as the hood's hood.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:31 PM ^
thats why football is so big there ...it's a way out.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:32 PM ^
When I lived in West Quad I knew a guy that bought/sold pot from Mario Manningham and Eugene Germany.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:42 PM ^
I have personally made a "transaction" with Manningham, lived with Savoy and sparked with Branch... anymore names I can drop? Oh ya as a freshman I saw Hart walking around naked in the bathroom.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:46 PM ^
You mean to tell me that high school and yes, college athletes, smoke, buy and sell a little wacky tobacky?
Mind.
Fucking.
Blown.
This never entered my wildest dreams. I thought they were wondrous little cherubs, laughing, frolicking and singing in a land of chocolate rivers and gumdrop smiles.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:27 AM ^
They still are wondrous little cherubs, laughing, frolicking and singing in a land of chocolate rivers and gumdrop smiles, but only after the acid they bought from Santonio Holmes kicks in.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:33 PM ^
The plural for cherub is not "cherubs" but rather "cherubim."
The more you know.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:42 PM ^
Who cares. Does that make him morally bankrupt? Is that an indictment of him as a human being? Big deal...he sold a recreational drug...that most of us have used. When a corporate stooge for a pharmaceutical company sells ritalin to 12 year olds its cool, right. So S Holmes was giving the hood a bit of relief...no harm there.
January 28th, 2009 at 10:49 PM ^
As I have never done drugs, never lied, never broken one law I have the right to judge all of you. SHAME ON YOU- you shall all burn in hell...........that is all
January 28th, 2009 at 10:50 PM ^
i grew up in ann arbor. i never thought of the people who sold me tree as bad people. but then again, half of them were my friends parents.
oh, and for your own sake goto mgoblue.com and count how many players are on the roster. then take the # and divide by half. now repeat that 3 more times. take that # and you have roughly the amount of kids on the squad who don't smoke.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:37 PM ^
could have been coke for all we know
i only respect other superfans
January 28th, 2009 at 10:52 PM ^
lol, felonies
January 28th, 2009 at 11:15 PM ^
i sold pot. i went to UM. that is all.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:51 PM ^
You're no Michigan Man.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:56 AM ^
On the contrary, if you didn't sell weed I'd question if you're truly a Michigan Man.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:58 AM ^
i especially love the Hash Bash
January 29th, 2009 at 12:37 PM ^
In 2002-2003, if you lived in Markley and smoked bud, you likely bought it from me. Also, I was ripping you off. But really, it was your parents money anyway.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:44 PM ^
this comment implies that there were some people selling pot in ann arbor that WEREN'T ripping people off - i just kind of assumed we all were?
January 29th, 2009 at 1:04 PM ^
No - it simply implies that there were people buying weed who didn't know they were being ripped off. Which is still surprising, to tell you the truth.
However, I buy medical grade dank out here for less than what I sold solid middies for in Markley 6 years ago. Maybe it's the economy.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:04 PM ^
I can't wait to get my card for the medicinal shit in Michigan.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:11 PM ^
I'd be careful with that. First off, it goes on some public record when you register for that. It probably will never be used against you, but you never know. Also, it's still illegal on the federal level. People in CA have been busted by the DEA because although what they are doing is legit in the eyes of the state, it is still breaking a federal law.
I'm not going to tell you not to, but to think about it. You should do what I do, tell your friend to get a card and have him buy it for you.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
I don't think you have to worry about getting busted by the DEA unless you're a grower or seller. Also, Obama said he would put an end to federal raids in states that have passed MM laws, but has yet to do so.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:44 PM ^
Well you likely won't get your home raided, but the centers themselves have been raided often, and everyone who is there (not just the employees) have been detained. It's kind of like downloading music for free - you'll likely never get caught, but there is a legitimate chance that you will.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
Just curious, how much does three and a half grams run you out in Cali?
January 29th, 2009 at 2:52 PM ^
Bout sixty.
January 29th, 2009 at 2:55 PM ^
You used to sell middies for more than that? What a dick.
January 29th, 2009 at 3:01 PM ^
OK, it wasn't really middies, it was KB but not amazing. And I actually sold it for 60.
It's call supply and demand. I'll charge what my people will pay. I'm a fucking capitalist.
January 29th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
$60 is right on ... go local black market economy!
January 29th, 2009 at 3:04 PM ^
no yer an american. it our way of life. but damn man. 60? i could kush or skunk, white widow, purp haze, any of that shit for that
January 29th, 2009 at 5:14 PM ^
40 to 60 bucks!!
January 29th, 2009 at 9:21 PM ^
Who buys eighths anyway? As former distributors who are well aware of the rip-off factor, you guys should be the first to know that picking up an 1/8 or less is a bit foolish when a quad of the same would likely go for 100, etc. etc.
January 29th, 2009 at 9:52 PM ^
a quad? whats a quad? i head of a qoap quarter of a pound but no qoap is goin for hundred not of this shit. maybe a 100 an ounce but again, not this shit. more like mids or worse. shwag
January 29th, 2009 at 10:12 PM ^
im guessing a quad is a quarter, as in 2 eights
January 29th, 2009 at 10:26 PM ^
I like ceramic pots.
January 29th, 2009 at 10:34 PM ^
Quap = QP = Quarter Pound = PRICEY
Quad = 1/4 = Quarter of an Ounce = $100

I wouldn't be buying 8ths, I would be selling 8ths, that's really all college freshman want to buy at a time. Plus a lot of people don't want a ton of weed chilling around, or drop too much coin at a time. I would buy it in much larger quantities.
That said, in LA I usually buy an 8th at a time. Just easier.
January 28th, 2009 at 11:51 PM ^
you all piss on Nancy Regan
piss i say
January 29th, 2009 at 12:11 AM ^
Its marijuana, not a real drug.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:25 AM ^
Black people don't do coke. Not be racist but I went to a predominantly black school (same city as Gabe Watson) and we only ever had tree at my school. All the coke heads and such were the rich white kids from Birmingham that I knew. Coke is an expensive drug.
January 29th, 2009 at 12:44 AM ^
You forgot a few nuggets of idiocy:
- only blacks do crack
- all meth users are white and poor
EDIT: and I almost missed the implication that blacks don't do coke because they are too poor. Bravo, this is like a fucking hat trick.
EDIT 2: in case there is any doubt at all (you never know here), I am berating this guy for making said generalizations. Carry on.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:14 AM ^
This is quite over the top. I understand that you are making absurd generalizations to show your disdain for (and highlight the stupidity of) the previous posters ideas/choice of language. Throwing this after the post makes it seem as though you believe drug use is perfectly random across all cultures. Recent studies (although not perfect) would show this to be false. I don't know what is more detrimental, ignorance or its hyper-correction.
January 29th, 2009 at 1:23 AM ^
You can't construct an argument I never made then tear it down. That doesn't work very well.
I pointed out the stupidity of saying "blacks don't do coke." I then added some other common drug stereotypes that are equally ridiculous. I never said or even came close to implying that drug use is random. Drug use is highly correlated to lower socioeconomic status, and to the extent a certain culture/race/whatever is correlated to a lower SES it will then have a weak correlation to drug use.

You are wound too tight. This is a forum, not a courtroom.
