In trying to leave the same comment you did, I learned how to give yours a star and somehow found your comment out of thin air. New Kinja is full of fun surprises. Lucky me.

I think this is the wrong website for your comment, but otherwise I support it fully.

what's the difference between minor leaguers and major leaguers that means that one is impacted by smoking while the other is immune to it?

Seems like the pot was treating it just fine. Many anxiety meds have side effects ranging all the way to suicide. Weed doesn't and was working for him. Similarly, Ricky Williams was perfectly productive as a pothead and said it was a significant help with anxiety — why should anyone have a problem with that?

I was so sure you were going to say excel at something enough to merit others giving a fuck about you. That would have also been true.

Marijuana is tested for because it's an illegal drug, not because it reduces anxiety. Otherwise seeing a dr to reduce anxiety would be illegal too. So would drugs used to treat ADD. And they aren't. No one considers reducing anxiety to be a form of performance enhancement. That's just dumb.

Minor league players have no collective bargaining rights. They are also paid less than minimum wage (there's just recently been a lawsuit being filed over their pay). In the majors the players have to agree with the league on the testing rules. I don't think the NBA tests for pot. The NFL only does it once or…

Nowhere as simple of a question as you think it is. People get addicted to dopamine release and drugs, sex, chocolate, basically anything can cause that. You're not wrong that he has problems, but that's exactly what predisposes someone like him to addictions. He can absolutely swap weed for booze, or coke, or…

The "strict rules" thing is a joke. You can still target knees and be just fine. In fact it's increasing because players are scared to make head contact and get fined. Along the offensive line about 15 times a season DEs and DTs accuse the O-line of cutting knees with an intent to injure. It's absolutely part of…

At the very least, there's some evidence of them in Washington, Buffalo, Houston and Tennessee. Granted those are all Williams' coaching stops and there's some debate about whether all or some existed but they are also probably before he learned how to use powerpoint to document the whole damn thing. There's…

You can tell you have a really good point since absolutely no one starred it. You're an idiot.

I have both, and the difference ends up being even less noticeable for me since I use my phone as a roku remote anyway. The roku app lets you use voice recognition to open channels and generally is a lot better remote than what comes with the roku.

Did you seriously buy something based entirely on a website recommendation without also reviewing what the Chromecast does? It clearly explains on its website. I bought one and I love it. But, I also did my own research and knew what I was getting.

PS - only about 50% of fans have the opposing view. It's 90% of players with the opposing view that are hard to trump.

I want to thank you for not giving me shit about the "there's not be scientific studies" sentence... I really need to read my own writing more carefully.

I'm right in the middle, but the more we see evidence of what the head trauma does to the players, the more the cost/benefit analysis (which is what the arguments about deterrence and providing a release valve really boil down to) shifts away from keeping fighting in the game.

Youtube vids won't play for me at work today (which is weird, we're not blocked, just won't work), so I had to go by the headlines and the USA Today gifs. I really think it's hard to compare a game where nearly all contact is against the rules to a game where in general contact is allowed (and encouraged). So, it's…

If internet comments aren't the place to talk about shit you don't know anything about, then where do you go for that?

There's a ten minute video of fights that supposedly happened this year:
