How Stupid Can You Be?

"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.

College Football Recap

27 (1) Alabama, 21 (16) LSU

This was an awesome game and definitely lived up to it's high expectations. After a rough start from Alabama, they were able to grind it out and win. Glen Coffee and John Parker Wilson were the catalysts to this victory in "Death Valley" John Parker Wilson threw for only 215 yards, but he had some big throws in crucial parts of the game. Glen Coffee ran for 126 yards and the game winning TD. As for LSU Jarrett Lee now has 13 picks on the year with 6 being returned for TDs. He is by far the worst QB in the country and it is time Les Miles goes to the backup Jefferson.

23 (3) Penn State, 24 Iowa

Sucks for Penn State. They had the easiest schedule on their way to the national championship, however they were caught in the vaunted "trap game" to Iowa. Darrell Clark had a terrible game going 9/23 with 1 pick. Iowa kept the game close for a majority of the game and were able to get in field goal position at the end and Daniel Murray was able to hit a 31 yarder to win the game.

20 (9) Oklahoma State, 56 (2) Texas Tech

Graham Harrell again put up video game numbers as he threw for 456 yards on 40/50 attempts with 6 TDs. 3 of those 6 TDs went to outstanding WR Michael Crabtree. I didn't respect Texas Tech that much until this game. They are a scary team and can get games out of control fast and actually play a little defense.
