Randy Gregory fails 7th drug test...

[HBK4life]

Biggest waste of a career since LP. Sad.
Randy Gregory may be done with the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL or, more accurately, vice versa.

Now currently serving a one-year ban from the league for failing a sixth league-administered drug test, the young defensive end has apparently not been able to watch the straight-and-narrow. According to TMZ, has failed a seventh -- yes, seventh -- drug screening which was administered this offseason.

TMZ Sports spoke with multiple people with direct knowledge of the situation who confirmed Randy was tested on Feb. 21 and was informed on March 2 that his specimen came up positive for weed.

We're told Gregory has since blown off the NFL officials who tried to discuss the situation with him and people connected to Gregory tell us it appears his NFL career might be over.

Amazing he was able to stay clean at Nebraska...just amazing I tell ya

I know right. It's amazing that he was so clean at NU and just fell so flat in the NFL. Must have fallen in with the wrong crowd after his squeaky clean days at NU.

 

[HBK4life]

True, because with Bo being such a hard ass and running a clean program like his followers always said, there's no way he would have let him play while failing multiple drug tests.

Ive been told you can't be addicted to that.

It makes him more perceptive, and he'll never have pain or cancer.

It makes him an addict who misses out on an NFL career.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Weed is not addictive. He's just misunderstood and the only reason he can't stop smoking is because he's got other mental issues...or something.

 

[NorthWillRiseAgain]

Maybe if the cowboys were forward thinkers this wouldn't be a problem.

Pelini made the appropriate accommodations, why can't they?

 

[tone1017]

Bummer, was a pretty immense talent, would've been nice to see what he could do on the field. Hope he gets some help but if he hasn't yet, not sure that he ever will.

 

[Solana Beach Husker]

An NFL player doesn't have their career ended, nor do they enter rehab for weed, they have to enter rehab for harder stuff, but weed becomes a no-go when you are already on probation for drug use. Every NFL team has dozens of players who spoke weed regularly, and multiple teams can do it legally, Randy has addiction problems with more nefarious things. And he obviously wasn't clean here at NU. At least not the whole time. That being said 40k people die from drug overdoses a year in America, and drug induced vehicle deaths are higher than alcohol related vehicle deaths for the first time. But again a large portion(75%) of the drug deaths are opiate related and not weed.

sad waste of talent.

good to know you can break a girl's face in half and still get in the league...

 

[nordakotahusker]

The NHTSA did a study which found no statistical link to mj smoking and traffic accidents. Guess Randy's good to drive, but not play football.

[HBK4life]

I've actually heard he's a really chill guy from multiple people. Flat out sucks that he is wasting away millions.

I'd be chill too if I smoked daily.

 

[swissticuffs]

He's a man who made his own decisions. Obviously football wasn't that important to him.

 

[huskerfan66]

7rh time..... literally amazing

Hope he saved his money. Going to have to last the rest of your life. So dumb. Play your 5 to 10 years. Make your money, get your pension. Then go cheech and chong the rest of your life. Idiotic.

 

[tarheelhusker]

Apply for medicinal MJ card in a legalized state.

Waste of a career & so far, his life. Bum.

Apple doesn't fall far. Just see TO. Peters only had 8 or 9 times he should have been booted.

That darn Osbourne. First letting those Peters boys run wild then letting Beau Pelini hang around longer than he should have.

Good thing we had quality guys like Davidson and Winstrom to keep them in check.

Weed is obviously not addictive. Be sure to angrily scream that three times in the mirror while standing on one leg and holding a fatty and it will come true.

No,statistical,link....that contradicts the increase in colorado traffic deaths....tell it to the family that lost an eight year old who was run over by a high driver.

If weed is not addictive, then RG just must be really, really dum.

If weed wasnt addictive, potheads wouldnt be so angry and butthurt at the threat of it being taken away or illegal.

Weed should be legal. Weed could kill the opioid epidemic. No one should drive or handle heavy machinery when impaired, no matter what they are impaired by. Sorry if you hate marijuana, but it is way less harmful than alcohol. If you think all of it should be illegal(alcohol,caffeine,marijuana, sugar) you are an idiot.

 

[rrthusker]

Not sure what is more incomprehensible, Randy failing 7 tests or the Cowboys putting up with it after the second one.

 

[jteten]

F'n fool. Good riddance.

 

[CC_Lemming]

Here is a hypothetical.

Is weed addicting if: one smokes on average 4 days a week for 1 1/2 years and then at the start of the new year decides to give it up and hasn't done so yet (this being April 29)? Assume no signs of physiological dependence (e.g., withdrawal symptoms) but occasional recurrent desires to do the drug.

 

[HuskerO]

Word is that he's dealing with being bipolar and if true he's probably self-medicating.

If that's the case then this has nothing to do with marijuana being addicting and hopefully he's getting the right help.

Exactly. Or I want to say, a hell of a lot more plausible and a better explanation than "weed is addicting."

Gregory's addiction, which is to weed, has to do with something else about Randy, not with weed having addictive properties. We could just as easily be saying the same thing about alcohol or opiates.

He should have had help long before the NFL. There were major, major issues while he was at NU at it was known by many in the AD. Sean Callahan reported that at one time he was down to around 215 pounds at one point his last season here.

 

[tpmcg]

i'd rather medicate with anything other than opiates or any facsimile thereof.

I dont care but would rather nebraska not have it legal, colorado is having some issues.
Potheads are such idiots about it. They make it seem like some magic unicorn that will make you fart rainbows. I know there are plenty of people who can handle it, but lets stop with the lies.
I also hate the obligatory alcohol reference, as if you cant have one legal without the other. If marijuana will never be legal, would you like to ban alcohol so its fair? If no then why bring it up?

 

[huskerfan1414]

Btw im 100 percent for medical marijuana. When actually used for the real purpose. It does have its place.

I didn't do the study. Maybe you should argue with the NHTSA. Those were their results.

 

[Pennsyhusker]

Weed should be legal. And none of us should judge Gregory since none of us knows what personal issues he has that cause him to want to smoke weed. I hope weed is all he is doing.

Money is not the highest value in life. Poverty sucks for sure, but personal happiness is way more important than making millions. And believe it or not, there are a lot of great football athletes like Gregory who don't view playing in the NFL as the high point of existence either. The game is brutal and the values of the owners dominated by business/money.

So if Gregory has made the personal decision to risk his football career for the sake of self medicating with weed, I will not judge him. It might seem like a supremely stupid tradeoff to some ... weed instead of million$... but we aren't in his shoes.

 

[brnred58]

I know stupid,but it is only weed which is legal in some states,probably soon to be legal every where but of course not Nebraska.I am not condoning it's use but is definitely not as harmful as alcohol.But come on man,stay clean for 10 years,earn some nice paychecks the retire and smoke all the weed you want or do a Ricky Williams for a year then come back,what a waste or should I say what a wasted.
