Marijuana use is really high with college and pro players to deal with pain. I'm not making excuses, but it's reality. Kug's reference to the "dumpster fire" administration was because that was allegedly part of the problem.
This has to be a huge disappointment to his family back in El Paso. Will be interesting to see if Green Bay will give him another chance once he is healthy again.f ing idiot

Not going to kick him off for weed. Will be suspended for six games per nfl protocol.

Are you sure about that? Joe Mixon wasn't suspended. Dak got a DUI like a week before the draft and didn't suffer any consequences that we know of.This isn't a first infraction. Remember the NFL takes into consideration college incidents as well. I don't think he'll be released, but definitely suspended. It's also for more than one offense.
I wonder if Joe Mixon's incident being 3 years ago is why he wasn't punished by the NFL. Either that or because he was suspended by Oklahoma already. He also got fined with a deferred sentence so I can only guess this is why he didn't get six games like Ezekiel Elliott.
I think the bigger issue is the DUI. He'll get suspended for that and I imagine Roger Goodell has power over any increase in the punishment.
No way he is released. He needs to get stop acting a fool though. He comes across as a good kid that just can't control himself.I think that video pretty much guarantees his NFL days are over. GB will release him for sure.

I'm a fan of aaron. I follow him on twitter. I cheer for him on Sundays.
BUT....
Let's not be naive. You don't just wake up one morning and have weed in your house and think "Hey, I think I'll get high this morning". He just HAPPENED to have it at home? I would bet he has indulged on more than one occasion in the past. I'm not judging, but let's not put him on a pedestal either.
I don't think he will be suspended or fined. I think he will get a slap on the wrist. If he is dumb enough to do it again, I wouldn't blame them if they released him.
While I agree, and I'm not minimizing the severity of his actions, AJ is absolutely a good kid, especially in comparison to so many of his peers. He just happens to be getting caught doing what, anywhere between, 60-75% of his peers are doing.
A good kid doesn't break the law.
I don't think 60-75% of 23 year olds are doing pot.
I hope he finally learned his lesson this time.
I'm no expert, but my son has been with two different D1 fb programs. I can assure you that 60% is on the low end in that culture. I'm not talking about the general public. No where did I compare to the general public. In fact I said in "that culture".
And I'm sure you grew up with most of the advantages, so don't be so judgmental. It's not exactly a level playing field. Most of the kids playing college football come from inner city, or come from an impoverished situation, in one sense or another.
One thing we agree on, I hope he's learned his lesson too.
What does people impoverished have to do with doing pot?
Where are the kids getting the money for the pot? You say these kids are impoverished right? I have to disagree that most kids playing college football come from impoverished areas. Sure, it's some, but not most.
I grew up with most of the advantages? Not sure what that even means.
