Indianapolis Colts WR LaVon Brazill's roster spot is in jeopardy after his four-game suspension.

Kind of off topic but I heard today on the radio Aaron Hernandez failed drug tests (weed) six times while at Florida.

I've got to think one day if it's legalized in the U.S. the pro players will get the pass as well.

They definitely turn a blind eye to it at the pro and college levels for the right talent (including the MAC). In this case I'd assume LaVon made it way too difficult for the "good" eye to look away.

There are no states in which marijuana is legal. Some states have eliminated state criminal penalties, but it remains a federal crime nationwide (even if the federal government has chosen not to prosecute in states that have decriminalized it). The NFLPA collective bargaining agreement probably also lists it as a controlled substance, so even if it weren't a crime, he'd still have the contractual obligation to abstain.

The law says, in most states, that possession of marijuana is a crime. Thus, the NFL bans its use and regularly tests its players from April to August. If a players gets a positive test, there's what amounts to a warning. If you get another positive test, it's a four game suspension. If you get a third, it's an entire year.

Three strikes. Boom. Boom. Boom.

Knowing this, it makes Colts wide receiver LaVon Brazill's stupidity all the more unforgivable. Brazill was suspended recently for the first four games of the 2013 regular season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. In league circles, it's widely known that if a player gets a four-game penalty, he likely got it because of a second positive pot test.

Totally STUPID!!
