OT - Mikel LeShoure busted for pot twice in a month
http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/04/02/leshoure-arraigned-on-marijuana-possession/
Odd story as Mike Leshoure is busted for pot possession twice in a month. The second time he tried to eat the pot to avoid the charges. You have to wonder if he'll ever see the field for the Lions. Injury derailed his rookie season and now two charges will likely bring a suspension from the NFL.
EDIT: Story has been updated, I strongly suggest you read the police report (included in story). Additional charges may be coming from this...Apparently there was a bag of "Diesel Potpourri" which google says is synthetic pot confiscated from the rental vehicle.
He is a nightmare to my dynasty fantasy football team. I drafted him to replace Jahvid Best on my team if he gets hurt. But do the Lions really need a RB? Teams know they can't run the ball and the Lions still throw for 400 yds every game.
Well, he's dumb. But if he really wants to play some day, Ricky Williams has shown that it's still possible.
But Ricky was...you know...good
Shoot.. He seemed like a guy who really had his shit together, what with being so proud of being drafted at all and his positive attitude after the injury. Guess the lions are in need of a RB. Too bad they already have a LaMichael James in Jahvid Best. That would be an exciting 2nd round pick. I don't know what bigger backs are out there that will fall to them in the 2nd. One more concussion and Best is done. Looks like another year with zero run game.
keep it in your house dude!
It reminds me of that SNL skit about Michael Vick getting arrested with weed at the airport. Why do these guys have to travel with their weed? Keep it in your house.

please repeat after me:
Charles Rogers is not an appropriate role model
Not if he's suspended most of the time.
He didn't go to State.
Roger Goodell don't care.
Seriously, this dude has not played an NFL game yet.
so i give you this rather apropos shot instead.
Is that a 6 paper joint in his hand?
That's a doob Tommy Chong would be proud of
No, probably not if he keeps it up.
First, we care because he now might be suspended, which is bad for our team.
Second, cannot address without breaking no politics rule.
Well! It appears your luck has finally run out. I've been waiting for this day for a long time! My friends from the narcotics team should be arriving soon.
Never, ever in a car. Alright. Privacy of your own home. Then NOBODY cares.
The commissioner cares. He will probably suspend him, at which point it affects the team regardless of your feelings on pot.
Why is he even driving around with a suspended license?
How else do you suggest he transport his delicious, delicious pot from Point A to Point B?
Damn, I wonder how much he ate. If he had some potent stuff I bet going to jail was INTERESTING.
He must have some chronic pain from his injury to still need his medication.
what's worse than getting busted for pot twice in a month? Getting busted for Burglary twice in a week: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7765279/ryan-leaf-arrested-again-burg…
lol yeah, this is actually a far sadder story than leshoure (which is just a young man being a dumb young man).
leaf was actually arrested for robbery and posssession the second time, WHILE OUT ON BAIL for doing the exact same thing before. dude has serious issues. i dunno if a jail cell or a psych ward is better for him.
a treatment program for addiciton to pain killers
Or just more pain killers.
They passed up on to take this guy....
Is Leaf just trying to get caught? Did he really think he was going to pull the 2nd robbery off?
That's the beauty of it, who'd expect it!?
Reggie Harding, a 6'11" former Piston, once put on a mask and held up a convenience store where he was a regular customer.
Larry Harrison can relate:
"So, you're saying the individual was 6'4, 300, and was wearing Michigan athletic gear?"
Is that where the idea for the robbery scene in White Men Can't Jump came from? Embedding was disabled so the link is below.
Salaam won the Heisman Trophy and the Bears drafted him in the first round (not in the top 10, IIRC). In his second year (I believe) he suffered an injury that he was extremely slow to recover from - to the point that the fans/media just wondered why it was taking him so long to return from his injury. It turned out he had developed a serious pot habit; he never got back in full playing shape, and never made an impact in the NFL again.
Hopefully there's a different outcome for LeShoure. If he can get back to full health, I think he can be a really good NFL running back.
The absolute stupidity of some athletes never ceases to amaze me. All they have to do is watch their bodies and NOT injest drugs for oh....say....about 5 years and then they'd have enough money to do whatever they want for the rest of their lives. Not that hard really.
I don't know which situations make me laugh more. The "I simply must do drugs and I must do them now" group of idiot athletes or the "I must spend the bazillions of dollars I have on an entourage of 35 people, golden dog tags with diamond encrusted collars and 47 gold-plated Bentley's" thereby assuring themselves of bankrupcy within hours of their career ending.
If they can father 6-8 kids from 6-8 different women WHILE doing drugs and spending bazillions of dollars on crap it's a trifecta of hillarious in my book.
Although he's clearly a lunatic, I have the most respect for Reggie Williams when it comes to athletes and drugs. He did exactly what you say - told people he's going to do drugs and it he can't play football because of it, so be it. If you're an addict or have some other flaw, own it! Otherwise, change.
Um.....I think you mean Ricky Williams...cough...cough.
I wont get docked a million points for correcting you now will i?
Ooops! My bad.
/I'm the winner!
Give him a break. It was medicinal marijuana... you know, the kind they prescribe for tendon ruptures.
I never really understood the whole weed craze. If I wanted to go kill braincells, I'd just go listen to 97.1. Doesn't cost me money and it's not stinky (unless it's the 97.1 in columbus).
When I get all noid from the icky my boy always calls me "NERD!" It makes me laugh and makes me feel better. So funny.
