Of course the NFL is blowing a one time event out of proportion. The media is piling on too. The kid tried pot. So shoot him!!
If it isn't that bad, give him another chance. The NFL only wants to save money on another star player. He has played himself right into that. Jerry, you're making up something there that is really a stretch of the imagination. Percy had run ins with other players and coaches in high school. They could have also been at fault there. But, he wasn't smoking pot. He made one mistake and it's going to cost him. Let's not play into the hype here.

IMHO The NFL is blowing this way out of proportion. In this day and age - if Harvin had a problem - I would think it would be impossible to cover up. These players can hardly go take a crap without it being reported. If that olympic swimmer that got a picture taken smoking weed during one weekend - don't you think that we would have 1,000 pictures of Harvin - if he really had a problem? Perhaps Florida players are guilty by association to two other major college programs that do cover up their problems? Also when you look at the petty little things that have landed other Gator players to be kicked off the team - I would find it difficult to believe that Harvin has a serious drug issue. Now if the NFL is worried about any college player or student drinking beer or smoking some weed - come on. Most college students do that. Its not like shooting the president or nothing. I'm not saying that all Gator players or students have never drank or smoked some weed. I'm not saying that it is right to do it either. BUt I've know plenty of people that have - and they are not a business risk. I think that the questions about the injuries is a serious question mark. I don't think that the other stuff is. Perhaps this is just one too many question marks - to be a top 10 pick? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [gatortalk] Harvin question From: Jerry Belloit <[email protected]> Date: Mon, April 20, 2009 9:25 am To: [email protected] I, like most of you have been reading about Harvin's drug issue. Clearly, as it appears, failing a drug test at the combine is an incredibly stupid and expensive thing for him to do. I would be worried that he might be the next Ricky Williams and might not want to draft him. My question is this: Does anyone remember Harvin being suspended for any games? Was his "migraine headache" simple a code for a suspension? Harvin seemed to me to have been a model citizen while playing for the team.
