Are we ready, as a Country to admit that Marijuana. Naturally occurring, is NOT a drug or narcotic, in the same class as Cocaine, Methamphetamine, or Opiates?

The Narcos too long have made billions off it. Its time we start producing, what could be a massive tax or revenue source for US Govt. Would ease burden on CBP, DEA, and our prison system, of which average cost of incarceration PER PERSON now edges to $50K, per year. Effectively we have words largest payroll.

This young man, while not a victim. Made bad choices. But if that were legalized, itd just be another small charge, just like running illegal whiskey. A misdeameanor.

They said he had coke. Kids clearly living the fast life at a young age. Bet it was fun while it lasted. Bet he gets it plead down out of a felony. Let’s not turn that into a larger discussion we’ve had 100x over.

Btw, I’m in agreement with everything you said.

There's been a handful of times that the FF delivered a VN post that would echo through the ages. @DougAtkins91 didn't know what he had done but history was made that evening.


@BeardedVol delivered one of the best posts/memes I've ever seen on VN.

They can't make a rule that violates the laws of physics. When a ball carrier is taken down from behind their legs trail behind them and the tackler is going to often land on them. Unless the ball carrier is standing still it is going to happen. So now a tackle from behind will be a shot to the lower body which is much more dangerous and still doesn't prevent the ball carriers legs from being rolled up on.

Law of physics of a dangerous tackle; when someone is jumping one’s back/hip and torquing their body down. It changes the way the tackle happens.
Where have you ever been taught to tackle like that? If you have caught a player by the hips or upper torso; there are many other ways to tackle At that point.

First, tackling is more than just getting the ball carrier to the ground, it is also about stripping the ball. It is coached to go for the ball and the ball is held high. On a tackle from behind the tackler is not just to trying jerk the ball carrier to the ground but also trying to jerk the ball out.
Second, ask anybody who has played and the will tell you they would rather be tackled high than have a defender take a shot at their legs.

That would be stripping the ball. Tackling and stripping the ball are 2 different things. Show me where someone is trying to strip the ball out and a hip drop tackle? They don’t, they go for the tackle.
Yeah that’s exactly the point of eliminating the hip tackle? It’s a shot to the legs.
Once again, don’t get it confused. You can still tackle from behind just can’t drop the mass of your body onto someone’s legs.

I recall being at Spanish River Grill @InVOLuntary in NSB in early 2000's. In my late 20's, recall that aha moment. Some may call it clairvoyance.

Looking around, every woman in room a 10, wearing a rock the size of Florida. Not to sound judgmental, but, their sig other was not complementary.

Upon asking aloud, 'Dad, what the hell?' 'How?'

80 years of wisdom, imparted. 'Son, they're either dragging the ground, or, living like Croesus.'

Wisdom indeed...we would go to ritzy spots around T-Bay and it was so common I never even noticed it anymore.

"It's good ta be da King" 😉 if you think good is just having sex with hot women always scheming to take all your money, or always wanting you to hurry up and die..while screwing the 22 year old pool guy..

That actually sounds like hell to me...I think if I was that type of man I would just hire a pro every once in a while to take care of needs or be seen with.

The nfl just keeps chipping away at what you can do. It’s sickening, they add more and more rules. The refs will go overboard with this like they always do. The nfl rules committee needs to eliminate some rules instead of tackin on more senseless rules. It’s football quit messing with the game.

They are trying to balance the integrity of the game with reducing injuries and liability. This change seems to be about creating more excitement, but they got to the current state to reduce injuries. Fans are going to have to realize that the old game isn’t coming back, and part of it is to keep the game viable altogether.

I've talked to several other football people and no one uses or has even heard the term "hip drop tackle" before. It is like the term "polar vortex" that everybody started dropping a couple years ago, it's just a snowstorm.
Dragging someone down from behind is a tackle plain and simple and yes it is taught that to get their arm if possible to dislodge the ball. In the process the tackler will not be able to go for center mass (not an arm tackle) without landing on the ball carrier's legs much of the time.
