Percy Harvin Fails NFL Combine drug test

[Root66]

Didn't hurt Warren Sapp much....and it was coke he tested positive for before being drafted in the first round.

NFL said that it was a rumor he tested + on coke. But didn't deny he tested + on marijuana. He fell from a probable #1 in the entire draft to the 12th player selected, and it probably cost him $3,000,000 in 1996.

Until it's legal, it's illegal.  Doesn't matter what "Should" be.  These kids don't get it.  Never will.

Sure it matters.  A law that makes criminals out of 20 million plus Americans is a seriously dumbass law.  I think I'll roll one up myself after reading this crap.

You're seriously a dumbass.

In the long term he was one of the best d-lineman in the game while he played; in the long term Harvin will be a good player in the NFL and I doubt this will hurt him much in the big picture.

But, it will cost him several million in the short term.

[Akimatsu]

 Maybe he did it on purpose. Realizing he would be taken high in the draft and not wanting to go to some crap team (Hi Mcfadden!), and realized that smoking weed isn't looked down on too badly, so he smoked in the hopes of dropping down to a decent team.

Strategy is what it was all about!

I guess we know who the Raiders are drafting now.

[MacHog19]

Yes Akimatsu, that 's it.  I'm sure Harvin learned Machiavellian principles during his studies at Florida and has implemented the first phase of his plan to land on a better team by hurting his draft position by testing positive for marijuana.  Sure, it will cost him millions in signing bonuses, but Percy also studied hedging extensively in his finance courses at Gainesville and has calculated that into his long-term financial portfolio. 

That bit of sarcasm aside, the apparent transgressions by the Roid Brothers from USC is more troubling.  If those guys have truly tested positive for steroids, Goodell better bring the hammer.

[Hornkiller]

Forget Roger bringing the hammer... where is the NCAA on this?

Then again I'm sure the NCAA is covered up trying to get to the bottom of Reggie Bush's living arrangements. Funny how the media never talks about the under the table payments and roids when they're playing Pete on a pedestal. Yeah I know "every" program does it but if it was an SEC program (especially Saban) they'd have every outside the lines reporter back there digging up the dirt.

Pete Carroll more then any other college coach seems to get a free pass when it comes to investigations.

If there was ever an institution that I would not want to investigate a murder (or other crime that needed to be solved swiftly), it would be the NCAA.  These people can't find their peckers with both hands, and they drag their feet on the minutest of issues (i.e Broderick Green, Mallett's request for eligibility last year, Reggie Bush). 

By the way, you're right on the money about Pete Carroll getting a free pass from the media.  Players receiving $10,000 handshakes and getting on 'roids, that's bush league.  But leaving the Atlanta Falcons (a team that hates you for no reason) and taking a job with the Arkansas Razorbacks, now that's just unacceptable and indicative of a lack of character *sarcasm*.

Please axed her to not speak again. 

[Hawg Balling]

Please axed her to not speak again.

That was painful to watch. 

Nice robe, by the way.  Looks like something the UF made for Hugh Hefner.  I think she'd be the last person that the BCS would want as a voice in their defense. 

I wonder if Corch Urban Meyers is mad at Percy Harvey for testing positive for pot and letting down the Florida Gatah.  At least they won the BSBCS title.  Florida deserves that gradulation for being the athletic school in the country.  Not to mention the tough conferences they play in.

[MacHog19]

Why USC is such the darling of the NCAA is beyond me; but, it's clear that nothing is going to become of the Reggie Bush investigation and they won't even touch this issue.

[deshahawg]

I'd definately say he cost himself a lot of money, but someone might take him early regardless! They want production at all cost on some NFL teams.

It makes a guy wonder how prevelant steroid use is in college.  Isn't there a strict drug testing policy enforced in college.  From all the recent busts, positive test, etc. from the post college sportsters it looks like at the college level there is a turned head.  Does anybody know what kind of testing is done at the college level?

[beenthere]

Why does everyone assume that some blogger from south Forida has the true word straight from god on this matter? The story has been refuted several times (at least the SC linebackers part). This could very easily be a plant by an agent to move his client up a few places

[cosmodrum]

I guess we know who the Raiders are drafting now.

I love that you're a Raiders fan and say that. Awesome!

[jj202020]

when you know you have a drug test coming and you smoke pot anyway you are either stupid or have a serious addiction (ala Ricky Williams).

None that I know of.  testing is expensive, which is why there is no wide spread testing.

Wake up!...steroid use is huge in college athletics ~ has been in the past and probably will be for a long time. By the way it's huge in H.S. too. Yes, High School.

[OLDHOG]

If the world smoked a J, it would be alot better place to live. That's all I'm saying on the subject.

[jkstock04]

Pure intellegence at it's best here.  I mean really, how hard would it have been for this guy to stay away from his swisher sweet weed filled blunt for a month or two before his drug test??

[drivetimeporks]

steroids were huge in my high school in sheridan back in the freaking 80's....therefore id assume they are handed out like  chicklets, if not hand delivered by the coaching staff to college players... not just bashing the hogs mind you, but any  half way serious college team...

[Hawg Balling]

Are you ever not bashing the hogs?

So McFadden got high??  Not that I would be surprised, but still. 

Seriously, who cares??  Percy Harvin will still go in the 1st round, still make millions, and college kids will still smoke weed.  Deal with it.  Marijuana is still safer than alcohol and cigarettes, so I don't get why it's illegal.

when you know you have a drug test coming and you smoke pot anyway you are either stupid or have a serious addiction (ala Ricky Williams).

An addiction to weed....haha....I don't even know what to say...
