Adrien Robinson - the gift who keeps on giving...

I would get it if he amounted to anything in the NFL, but I hope he turns his life around.

"Kicking him while he's down"??

The guy is distributing pot - it isn't like he's balled up in some corner shaking, distraught and putting a gun in his mouth.

'The JPP of drug traffickers'

.

It could all be for his own recreational use.

So that's why he couldn't figure out who to block, man.

At least he's not trafficking fireworks.

4th round pick really a bust?

The Giant’s organization is listed and spoken in the same breath as this POS. He’s a drug dealer fuck him hope he does a good amount of time in prison. The hope he gets his life together crap is a little weird he could have gotten a job rather than drug trafficking.

dealing with fireworks exploding in his brain instead of his hand...

I'll take the guy with his head screwed on straight, thank you very much.

That's not my pot.

be the "Nate Newton of TE's"??

and I wonder if he might have been doing similar things WHILE trying to make a career in the NFL, thus the flop.

No stats to back this up, but my gut tells me this is a somewhat common occurrence - meaning drugs holding someone back who has the physical gifts. Then they wash out and they hit the ground running on the next career, or at very least, they ramp up their recreational use.

He failed to catch a pass until year 3... His career totals are 5 catches for 50 yards and a touchdown... He was called the 'JPP of Tight ends' by the GM after he was drafted... He was/is a bust, 100% of the way.

Welcome to 2017 in America. Where when a guy commits a crime, we are not allowed to ridicule or comment, rather we should reach and give the poor soul a nice big hug and tell him everything will be ok.

I think you are right. Being a drug dealer is just an illegal job. You have to know where to buy the stuff and guys who can move it on the street. You don't develop those connections over night

So I think it is highly likely he was somehow involved with this world either before or while he was with the Giants

in case you haven't noticed, the country is growing up about this drug. But have fun with the 1980s mindset, which will be near universally laughed at soon enough.

His only real transgression is that, I suspect given the poundage, he's enriching some rather unseemly people (likely south of the border), but that's only of course because weed is illegal to begin with.

But for our shitty fear-mongering elected officials, he may as well have been driving through PA with fifty 30 packs of Natty Ice.

We should be enriching the Willie Nelson look-alike from Texas with the one-legged dog and plumpy yet irresistibly charming girlfriend/business partner. Oh shit that is Willie Nelson. This some good weed.

People acting like he's a heinous, nefarious drug dealer when he's driving around with pot.

Fucking joke.

But a dealer. A criminal. And a guy dealt a gift that may or may not have been snatched away from him because of his connection to drugs.

And theres the strawman argument raising its ugly head.

I think there's exactly one person on this thread who said anything about Robinson being nefarious - a guy saying he should be locked up. The rest of the responses are tongue in cheek.

But great fucking rants.

and still find fault with a guy driving around with 20 lbs of it in the backseat. What's that, $20K, give or take?

could be up to $50k. Definitely six figures street value.

Not really a strawman responding to this:

A patently silly assessment that does make him out to be "nefarious."

After the 3rd round ever pick is hit or miss I wouldn't call a 4th rounder a bust just another guy that didn't make it.To me the term bust applies to those guys you take in round 1-3 Sinorice Moss=Bust Ramses Barden=bust Marvin Austin=bust William Joseph=bust.

then in the next breath literally refers to the post that said Robinson should be locked up.

You can't make this stuff up.

Would make it a point to drive more carefully, wouldn't you?

When broken down and packaged in small amounts that can be almost 100k. He wasn't riding around with a dime bag or an ounce people.

regularly transported 2-3 pounds (not 20, but still...)

One is now a librarian with 2 beautiful kids.

The other is a doctor.

Grow up about this drug. It's not 1985 anymore. There is a gargantuan demand from normal, everyday people.

It's insane how he can get charged with this meanwhile its legally distributed in other states.

Are you purposely exhibiting that your reading comprehension is shitty?

Fuck it, lets teach our children to sell weed, maybe they move some weight and end up being a doctor. Pro marijuana btw.

Nothing about football besides this schmuck used to wander around the Giants facility.

gidie should delete this...you know...it's a very busy time of the year football wise. He said something like this yesterday when he was saving BBI from evil, unmarked NFT's.

I'm quite sure that gidie is not going to delete a thread that the site owner started.

you try to paper over this with that tired ornery hall-monitor schtick that you do, but it endures still.

I was responding to bigblue1124's 8:44 post as well. Which you apparently realized when you wrote:

Plural. So you obviously were not referring to just Sonic's post. And I said exactly nothing about multiple "people" while addressing the aforementioned post.

He wanted to be a farmer!

The point is that it's only a "big deal" because it's illegal.

I suspect I don't actually have to explain this to you and that you get the relevant, underlying point but let me know if you need further clarification.

Now granted I do not partake and don’t understand why adults do other than for medical reasons but that’s me, and completely understand how some may disagree. With that said even in states that have legalized this do you really think he would not be locked up and still not be able to post bond because he spent that money to traffic drugs lol give me a break.

The nonchalant attitude is more the question here not my statement. The guy is trafficking drugs illegal drugs in the state he was arrested. He obviously spent all his money on those drugs to make more money. When does it end does he continue to move weed or when the money starts flowing does he move on to more profitable avenues?

How anyone can justify this by it’s just weed is smoking to much weed.

Smoking some pot isn't a big deal, growing some pot isn't a big deal, selling some pot isn't a big deal... 25 pounds isn't just 'Some pot'... The fact that people serve time for simple possession is a joke... this amount is just legit drug trafficking, I don't think he deserves the needle but he needs to sit his ass down for some time for sure. 25 pounds bro, sheesh is all...

That's about 4 pounds per catch

He won't be a TIght end, his new position will be Wide Receiver!

nice to see the war on drugs implemented so efficiently and effectively.

thank the heavens slightly less marijuana is now available!

For a drug that is practically legal.

The guy should not get jail time.

1, maybe 2. Still not really a strwaman based on the tonality of responses.

Having said that, fine - if you want me to call out the singular idiot with the histrionics, I will do so. But I don't see why you're so caught up in defending the legions of faceless BBI posters.

In my eyes, it's because at this point it's accepted that the reasons it is illegal are total bullshit.

If you're carrying around 20 lbs, you're likely giving that to maybe 4 people in 5 lb bags. Yeah, I get he's far up the chain, but if the end result is weed in areas where it isn't legal yet (particularly when I don't think it should be illegal in the first place), I can't get worked up on it.

Despite that, obviously he should be punished. That comes with the territory. He knew the rules of the game, and he got caught. This isn't a stance I take on every crime, but on a victimless crime like this for a substance that shouldn't be illegal in the first place, I think it's applicable.

Most people were laughing at his lack of football skill and for being a dumbass. For some reason you chose to act as if people want him in the electric chair. I'm supposed to parse out your sarcasm or belief that he's just a goofy pothead?

Is aware of what happened here and learns a lesson crom it. He has to keep himself clean.
