Good, he'll be there at 9 now.

[ReasonablySober]

Dumbass.

[ReasonablySober]

You seriously have to be the dumbest piece of **** on the planet if you're stupid enough to toke up at any point after the season and prior to the combine. Unreal.

The ganja never hurt no one. He should have been smart enough to buy a cleanser or something though. Raji and Jollay could combine their powers and bring the chronic to the midwest. 95 plus 4 pennies, add that **** up. D-R-E right back on top of thangs. Smoke some wit ya dawg. No stress, no seeds, no stems, no sticks. Some of that real sticky-icky-icky, OHH WEE. Put it in the air. Oh yous a fool B.J.

I don't have a problem with anyone smoking. I did my share in college. But I wasn't stupid enough do it before a job interview.

Exactly. Who knows, maybe he did stop but he still tested positive a few months later. I know a couple guys who were clean for 3-4 months and still tested positive. Nevertheless, Raji has millions of dollars in the balance so it's a head scratcher. Do they all take pissers or what kind of tests does the NFL conduct, any idea?

[an_also]

they should seriously just stop testing for pot in all sports.

[MadCityBucky]

I believe Megatron tested positive for pot, not that big of a deal imo but he does have a history of problems that concerns me a little

I don't think anyone would accuse him of being the sharpest tool in the shed. His maturity has always been a red flag. This kind of thing has always been a concern for him, and why I was reluctant to jump on the bandwagon. Don't forget he missed an entire year because he didn't sign up for the classes he needed to take. Not that he didn't do well in the class - he just flat-out didn't sign up for it.

It's not specifically that he smokes, but that he makes stupid decisions and I think the worry is there that he's the type to lose motivation. But as far as smoking goes, he tested positive at BC, too. This isn't the first time. And certainly also not the most...opportune/smart time.

[El Duderino]

I think this will take Raji off Thompson's board

[eagle13]

I've said it consistently - Trade down!

Other than if ASmith is still there - there is not one guy at 9 who's guaranteed or even looks over whelmingly much better than guys who'll be there at 20.

Raji is now denying the report. Says he did not receive a letter telling him he tested positive. Teams are expected to receive a list of positively-tested players around April 20th.

Around 4/20? How ironic.

[MikeIsGood]

Good catch

[trwi7]

SI took the story down.

[ReasonablySober]

I'm glad to hear the story is apparently false.

[trwi7]

Seems like this should be something you make sure of 100% before you publish. It's a big black eye for SI if it turns out to be false.

[SteveScheffler]

probably a rumor generated by a certain team who hoped he would fall to them as a result.

[ReasonablySober]

Don Banks was on DP this morning and he's sticking by the SI report. He didn't write it but apparently the author had two separate sources confirm it. They say that the not all the teams have been given the list of players that tested positive, nor have all the players been made aware yet. Banks said that he's confident that when the teams get the list that Raji's name will be on it.

[MikeIsGood]

Guess we'll find out in about 10 days, then.
