Moving at a very slow snails pace..

Just great... Cut him..

Why?

 

[biggunsbob]

Why?

I am just kidding but it just frustrates me that young players put their careers in jeopardy using a illegal drug.. I think pot is way worse then booze which kills people every fucking day but the law is the law even if i don't like it..

"I knew he wasn't there because late Monday afternoon, I got a call from a guy from the security guy from the Lions who had Leshoure in his office," said Gary Ruhl, chief of the Baroda-Lake Township Police Department, which issued Leshoure the appearance ticket. "He called me because he was trying to connect with the court.


Leshoure "told the security directer that he had gotten the arraignment adjourned until Wednesday," Ruhl said. "I told him that didn't appear to be the case."


Berrien County court officials confirmed this morning that Leshoure did not appear in court Monday afternoon and his appearance has not been rescheduled. A court official said Tuesday morning the last activity in Leshoure's file occurred on March 21.


Berrien County Prosecutor Arthur Cotter said Monday that a bench warrant for Leshoure's is likely to be issued on Thursday if Leshoure doesn't clear up the matter before then."


Lions running back Mikel Leshoure still hasn't rescheduled missed arraignment in Berrien County

Looks like there is a disconnect going on between Mikel, the Lions, and the court, and Leshoure is playing coy out of maybe simple fear of the consequences of his second pot bust in the middle of last month. He is only making things worse, so he has today and tomorrow to contact the court, and show up tomorrow for his arraignment, or it could become curtains on his freedom and his potential career with the Lions. No mention of whether or not Leshoure has retained/consulted an attorney yet, so he better QUICKLY let his fingers do the walking in the yellow pages and get on the horn with an attorney, if not.

I'm afraid to say if you believe this you are incredibly misinformed.

As for Leshore, I tend to agree with LP and Slick on this one. Its almost an non issue in regards to on the field productivity because he was likely to start of slow or possibly even be put on the PUP so, bleh, whatever.

What I can't understand is why is it so fucking hard to just sit at home and smoke pot rather than be out driving around where the chances of ever getting busted by law enforcement goes up about 10,000%?

I'm not excusing his actions in any way because its not like hes some schmuck that works at Office Max or something and his actions do have direct affect to not only his own career but the rest of his teammates. Just saying if you're gonna break an NFL player conduct rule why go about it in a way that you're most likely to get busted for it, get busted for it, and then do the exact same shit literally one month later? What a fucking clown.

Edit: after reading the other thread, bob, I understand what you're trying to say now, you just worded it funny.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Doesn't usually a PUP list means a suspension starts after he's off the PUP?

 

[lionsFTW]

yes but why would they PUP him if hes gonna be suspended for those games anyways?

I doubt he gets 6 games.

 

[LKP]

Yeah if he's on PUP then the suspension is after but he was supposed to be ready by training camp and can attend TC just not the first 4 games/weeks of practice probably. Misses first 4 games, just hope Smith doesn't get an early injury and Best can actually take a shot.

How do we feel about Kirkpatrick and Jenkins? Don't they both have weed issues.

 

[lionsFTW]

I doubt he gets 6 games.

right, I get that. what a couple of us appear to be thinking though is that he was likely to either start out really slowly (like 5-6 situational carries a game) or get put on the PUP for the first 6 weeks because they wouldn't want to carry a roster spot for a guy getting so few snaps.

this kinda takes care of that because when he gets suspended for the first 4 weeks he can continue to get into tip top football shape while getting worked into the swing of things. I doubt they wanted to PUP him for the full 6 weeks but I also doubt they want him on the roster for, say, weeks 1-3 if he's not completely up to speed and can only get the ball in select short yardage situations.

I could be wrong and he could come back lights out but the precedence for his injury says otherwise.

But getting put on the PUP means suspension is week 7 through 10. If no PUPS then he doesn't even get football shape weeks 1 through 4.

 

[lionsFTW]

hes not going to get put on the PUP if hes suspended weeks 1-4. why is this so hard to understand. and if hes not working like crazy during preseason and those first 4 weeks to show he wants to do this and is off continuing to smoke pot then hes not gonna be here past next year anyways.

 

[biggunsbob]

I really don't understand... Booze is freaking a million times worse then pot... I smoked pot now and then after high school and it never took me on the gateway ride to other drugs.. I dabbled in stuff but in the end i just didn't like it or other stuff that much.. But i saw first hand working at a gas station in high school what drinking and driving did to people as their heads went through windshields... which is worse... booze or Pot... the age old debate the last 30-50 years...

My sisters first husband did both and it cost him his life just about and the life of another driver. He was hammered on booze but he also did marijuana everyday and had it in his system the night of his crash so I guess i don't like either anymore although if pot was legalized maybe we could tax the hell out of it and make it less potent.... In the end my sister's husband lived through the crash but for the last 35 years he has lived in a him for people with injuries like him..His head went through the windshield and he had massive brain damage.. He can get around but his life is like a 5-8 year old now... I guess they are both bad.. I don't have a answer I just wish kid's like ML would realize that they have a chance to play freaking NFL football which we would all give our right ear to be able to play.....

My point was, no PUP, out weeks 1-4 means no football shape. You're not getting in football shape without game time. Which means football shape means we're talking week 8. 1/2 season gone for someone that missed all of '11 is not good. Or do you not understand that?

 

[lionsFTW]

so just because he can't suit up game day means he cant work out and continue to rehab/progress his injury? now I feel like you're just trolling me!

 

[lionsFTW]

he can still participate in all of OTA's, all of mini camp, all of preseason. ffs hes not just going to be sitting around smoking pot and playing madden to learn the playbook during the four game suspension (well hopefully not).

Well if you think working out hard during practice is like being in a game, you're wrong. Sure he can rehab but when h comes back, he'll be worthless. He hasn't play competitive since 2010. I thinking we're hoping by week 8 he might be productive now it might be week 12.

 

[Mitchrapp]

In case you missed it, playing in games gets you ready. Not practice.

The guy has bust written all over him. What is the point of arguing when he'll come back?
