"Amid all the all-encompassing insanity of the lifted lockout, here's some potentially damaging news for a pair of prospects, just 48 hours before the NFL Draft: Georgia LB/DL Justin Houston and Iowa DL Christian Ballard have reportedly tested positive for marijuana. That's according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports (whose tweet somehow almost got lost in the maw that is the legal discussion regarding the lockout), who notes that the pair are "2 highly-graded defensive draft kids (CBS Sports)."
These stories pop up every year, and every year I say the same thing "How fucking stupid can you be?" I just don't have much sympathy for people failing drug tests you know are coming. You are about to enter the NFL Draft, where what round you get taken can be the difference of millions of dollars, and you go out and risk smoking pot? It's not like these were some low level guys either, both these guys are projected to go around the 2nd round, but after failing a drug test they might fall a couple rounds. Fucking idiots, you deserve nothing less. There is plenty of time to smoke pot when there isn't millions of dollars on the line.
