......THERE IS NO FVKKING REASON FOR HIM TO EVEN BE IN THE CAR WITH THAT POS DRUG DEALER.
Well....There is ONE reason...
......THERE IS NO FVKKING REASON FOR HIM TO EVEN BE IN THE CAR WITH THAT POS DRUG DEALER.
Which is exactly why he should be suspended. That and the fact he was riding around with the dope man. At some point he's gotta learn some accountability.
It will be handled internally.
He'll have to cut off all the crust to Mac's PB&J sandwiches for a year.
I think you send a real message and suspend him for the 1st two games. These kids just don't get it man, why risk draft stock (even though I don't think he goes the first 2 rounds anyway) on stuff like this. If your going to do stuff like that always have an idiot who will carry it for you so If the police are out doing their job it's not on you its on the person carrying it for you. This goes for all times. If you're buying drugs to take home have some carry it to your dorm. Never have it in your car or pockets. Or and i know this is a stretch for some but just don't do drugs. I know it's hard for some because they "really" need to smoke weed and get high to go about their day. I'm obviously being sarcastic if you couldn't tell. I personally thing drugs are stupid and people who need it in life are weak minded no offense to anyone on here that chooses to go that route just my opinion. Now anyone who truly needs it (like people with cancer, or real vision problems) is different to me in talking about ones that do it just to get high. Just my $.02
Put me in the category of "handling it internally" when it comes to things like weed. I honestly see no gain from a suspension. He's old enough to know he shouldn't be in that company, and is also fully aware of the potential consequences of his actions, including the impact on his NFL stock, especially after his previous legal issue. And yet, he still did it. The idea that sitting out a game would create some epiphany for him is silly. It amounts to little more than a punishment for all the other players who aren't being knuckleheads, not to mention the fans.
I may be alone here, but while it is a nice ancillary element of the coach-athlete relationship, it's not Mac or any other coach's job to instill accountability. If you're having to tell a 20 year old that they shouldn't be friends with drug dealers, I'm afraid that ship has sailed. If a player's offenses are that bad, kick him off the team. If you're content having them still represent the school and your team, then punish them internally and move on. Telling him he can't play in one or two arbitrary games accomplishes nothing.

This would be the second legal proceeding where pot was a factor, remember during the Title IX case pot was his excuse.
The lawyer probably put that claim in his head.
Id like to send him a message that possibly changes his life. This is his 2nd time being in a situation where he could be suspended so it's obvious he still thinks he can do whatever he wants. Sometimes 1 game don't get the point across so maybe he needs 2-3 games to really get the point across that you have to go by the rules. It's more important to me that he understands that for his future than him playing and nothing changes in his life. And yes he could serve that suspension and nothing change but maybe it does change his life who knows but I'm in favor of possibly changing his lifeYou would like him not to play against Michigan.
