Will Hill on his suspension issue

@NotoriousOHM: A candid Will Hill said he failed multiple tests last year for marijuana and that's why he is suspended for four games this season.

the gay was given another chance and is blowing it. You've got to think this is his absolute last chance, at least from the Giants.

You have a job that pays you more money than a lot of people imagine and you risk it by smoking pot.

I just wish he would realize he could let a golden opportunity slip through his fingers.

Not a great typo.

Dude just don't smoke it. You're not in HS anymore and they do drug testing at your job.

@Patricia_Traina: Hill said he faced social pressures one he became a football player. Said it was hard dealing with people who treated him like an ATM.

@Patricia_Traina: He also said it was not uncommon for people to randomly stick a gun in his face when he'd walk down the street.

You in here because of marijuana? Man, this is some bullshit.

I wonder if/when they'll ever take marijuana off the banned substance list. It's not as if it's performance enhancing in any way. NBA doesn't test their players for mary in the offseason. Just seems inevitable.

This has nothing to do with Will Hill, he knew it was a banned substance and has to pay the piper. Just was going off topic for a bit.

The rehab probably had more to do with him being able to keep away from certain types of people and gaining confidence in doing so then for the actual marijuana.

LOL

and the u and a keys aren't anywhere close.

i spit my coffee out all over my phone...

The Giants are not going to give him another chance he needs to rid himself of all the negative people who are bringing him down and only with him because to them he is viewed as an "ATM." He is so damn talented if he can just stay out of trouble and focused he could be a special player in the league.

Of rehab for weed. He may have done it to show the team he is making a concerted effort to get clean.

was candid about this. But, he's got to make better decisions.

and, Chris, you are correct that the a and the u aren't close on the keyboard which makes it that much better.

is pretty much unheard of. How hard is it to just move? Get out of that area?

he would have no worries about his marijuana use.

told him he had to do something

It's pretty dumb that we have to make a big deal off him doing something that will most likely be phased out in the next CBA. I know most of the posters are more upset that he's gone for 4 games rather than smoking pot, but it's dumb that he has to get suspended for this.

NBA's policy on drugs is stiffer than the NFL on the issue. NBA hands out lifetime bans on substance abuse. There would be no multiple failing issues as Hill stated.

Too bad the NBA doesn't test for marijuana in the offseason anymore.

The NBA stopped testing its players for marijuana in the off season starting in 2012.

for how people come out of the woodwork to take advantage of them once they start getting paid.

But that's not an excuse for failing multiple drug tests, even if it was just for weed

There's even a facebook page for this too, lol:

You in here 'cuz of marijuana?! Man, this is some BULLSHIT! - ( New Window )

I still don't get that. From that standpoint, yeah weed suspensions are silly and now legalize in some states. I think that was the NBA's point. But to me the bigger issue was Hill had multiple failings. Meaning they warned him and he still continued to fail the test.

on the 3rd time of failing.

I'm not sure that I support weed testing, but that conversation is irrelvant as far as our Will Hill is concerned. He isn't playing under some future set of hypothetical rules, he's playing under the rules as they exist today. And he owes it to the team to set his priorities in a way that reflects that.

If the NFL decides to change it's weed policy tomorrow, I won't care how much he smokes up. But today, it's costing the team.

Because it's all but certain that the NFL will follow the NBAs path once the new CBA rolls around. Still disappointed that Will Hill couldn't stop after failing the first time, but I'm also disappointed that a guy has to get suspended for smoking weed.

a better crew. ditch those losers

and avoid suspensions. If you're not in the NFLs drug program you only get tested once a year and I believe it's usually prior to the start of training camp each year.

but clearly they were forgiving but the way it comes off. It was an going on problem for only one season in his career. And that is really Ricky Williams territory.

That's not too bad. One of my co-workers recently responded to a group mail sent out to our entire division. His email began, "Hey gays..."

There is a three month window starting in May and going through camp where players are open to a random recreational drug test.

I'd be fine if the league just dropped the pretense and didn't test for recreational drugs at all. I honestly don't care much one way or the other about it.

I have strong feelings about PED testing as I see that as a competitive issue. I think the league should be getting much tougher in that area.

If they were stricter on PEDs lol

It would be a rough transition, but it would be better for the long term health of the sport.

It's a hell of a better approach to player safety than these awful in game rules they keep coming up with

haven't cut him.

I won't go so far to say that I'm disappointed because I obviously don't have all the facts but he knew he was on a short leash and he eff'd it up.

and these collisions is big factor in player safety.

Failing multiple drug tests for weed during an NFL season...or needing to go to rehab to quit smoking weed. ...

If this kid doesn't make it in the NFL, it won't be for lack of talent or because of the weed, it'll be because he just isn't very smart.

...."Play for the new York Giants (given another chance) or smoke some weed"....Play for the New York Giants or smoke some weed"... "I'm smokin' weed man"...."Light that thing up baby, I'm cool with it"...."That's some good shit right there"....Uh ooohhh! Party's over. What a dumb ass.

That's my point. Smoking weed and playing for the NYG aren't even mutually exclusive. THC leaves your system in 30 days give or take. Probably faster for him than most people due to his low level of body fat. He can smoke himself silly in the off-season, and still play in the NFL. But this dipshit keeps failing tests during the season.

jesus

You'll care if a player goes out on the field after smoking pot and loses the game for the team.

don't stick around. They get weeded out (see what I did there)

Are you saying it's time fir Will Hill to shit or get off the pot?

(1) Giants encouraged him to enter rehab
(2) Giants told him he was in no danger of the team cutting him because of it

If a player were to smoke right before a game, it's because he performs better and relaxes him. It's not as if he'll have to address some kind of addiction and ruin himself. NBA players are doing just fine with the weed policy.
