Jeez.. if it had beena 3rd down back from the jets, raiders, eagles etc. not one person would have said; 'well it's not like he's trying to distribute..'

Social arguments aside, and frankly, I could give a sh-t what people do, maybe it should be legal, medicinal uses etc... I don't want to get into a huge pot debate

Admittedly, it was never my thing, but I know a lot of good friends prefer it to a beer, but they are taking a chance every time they buy a dime, and they are aware of this. I also know/knew quite a few of the 'stoner' types who haven't gotten their sh-t together b/c of it.

Regardless of the amount he had on him, or the justification of the 'why' he needed it, it IS still illegal, and he is taking a big chance with his career if he were to get popped for a random test.

He is obviously not the only one doing it in the NFL, MLB, NCAA, NHL, NBA, but he is still a role model and a public figure. I am absolutely shocked at the apologist nature of you guys!

BassDawg, if you really think it is jealousy or some other bull%$%$%$%$ (get a real team yadda yadda) get over yourself and your team. I don't think some pissed of Jets fan planted the pot and then called the cops.

Faulk made a bad decision and it bit him in the ass, plain and simple! Should it ruin his life or career? no, but don't apologize or justify!

WOW.Get a life

F- you.
Been there, done that, partied several years of my life away, saw and did a lot of stupid crap, and owned up to the consequences when it went to far. As I said who gives a crap if he smokes pot. I certainly don't and am not naive enough to think he's the only one in sports doing it. I just was shocked at how apologist most people were being, by justifying it w/ the amount he had on him etc.. I do my best not to judge; I like the occasional beer/cocktail, you like the occasional joint, fine. I'm probably one of the more socially liberal people on this site, but it is still the law and he is still in the public eye; like it or not he is held to a higher standard. I like my beer but if I was making that kind of dough and beer was illegal, I wouldn't be drinking!

I didn't want it to be an argument about the legality of it, fine by me, sell it, make some taxes on it and be done with it. My point was if he wasn't a Patriot, MOST people here (other than MrH ) wouldn't have been so 'nice' about it. It might not have been news, BUT if he was a giant you guys would have been all over him.

BD; Spygate, however bogus it is, is vastly different than a player getting caught with weed. Does it reflect the team? not really, but it does show they aren't perfect. It has nothing to do with
agendas.

Paul,
thats fine, re: calling him a hypocrite, I understand your point, but he's making millions and is a public figure, any heat he takes is justified. Not calling for his head is one thing, others were justifying; it's like justifying steroids in baseball; well EVERYBODY is doing it...
