Make it 9
According to Lance's blog the 9th Bengal was arrested last night. Johnathan Joseph was arrested for possession of marijuana. Why am I still shocked everytime I hear about this? It will be interesting to see how the new "Tough Marvin" handles this. Joseph is probablly one of the core 5 the Bengals need to build around.

Re: Make it 9
I want to laugh. I really do. The whole "I'm above the law, I need to portray my culture" BS really irks me. It's seems to be more prevalent in the NFL. The problem is the penalties are of little deterrence, IMO.

Re: Make it 9
But it's not 9 this year, see... when do we get to move back to 0 on the rolling calendar year?
Soon? Hopefully? because once we get into the double digits, I fear people might find something to talk about.

Re: Make it 9
So this is the 2nd Bengals player caught with mary-jane this year? I guess it goes to show you what a joke the NFL's drug testing really is.
A friend of a friend is the brother of a long time NFL QB vet. This vet liked to partake in mary-jane. This vet was informed by his team a good two months in advance when he would be tested. Plenty of time for the partaker to clean up the urine that would be taken. Just goes to show you how stupid or addicted those who fail the tests really are (Odell?). I think it is obvious that the testing is a joke. Look... two Bengals (Joseph & Henry) caught with mary-jane, but no one has failed an NFL administered test. Strange?

Re: Make it 9
That sucks. It seems he is a victim of the company he keeps.

I think he should go with the Michael Irvin "I was just holding for a friend trying to stay clean" defense.

Release, please.
We need a zero tolerance on criminal activity this year, even if it means dismantling the team. |

Re: Make it 9
So throw away last year's first round pick because he was in a car with a pot smoker? I'm all for tightening up the discipline, but let's not go off the deep end.

Re: Make it 9
He was in the car with a pot smoker? Yeah, but marijuana was found in his bag, and the car smelled like it too. Sorry, but I'm tired of rooting for criminals.
