Danny O"Brien dismissed from team

[emzeeee]

Because it's a dangerous drug and a gateway drug. I grew in Colorado and I've seen what is does to people.

Yet we allow tobacco products and alcohol... two substances that kill on an astronomically larger scale.

 

[TNnative]

Must have been drugs found in his system at the hospital.

They would not have tested for it Saturday,



unless everyone coming into ERs nowadays get tested.



And if that is now legal, you might know better than I.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

He was probably going to be out any way for this game due to the hit he suffered.

 

[dduncan4163]

In college football 99.9% of "violation of team rule" infractions are for weed.

If that's the case -IF- Just shocking to make it this far in his career to have a weed problem

If he was dismissed for weed it wasn't his first failed test

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

That couldn't be released. HIppa violation.

Not sure why your saying this. Nothing was released on what it was. Just that he had been let go off the team.

And with that said uhhhhggggg!

 

[VOL Campbell]

My guess is he was self medicating for some lingering pain. I agree, legalize it!

 

[vtvol98]

He was suspended at the beginning of last season.

OK. Thanks.

...... Lololololololol

Dude I don't now but I did in my younger days. Gateway drug? Haha alcohol is more of a drug than weed. That's hilarious.

Should be a Felony even if it's less than an ounce.

In a message board that specializes in stupid statements, this may take the cake.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He has been a full participant in practice. So he may be closer than we think to game ready (I hope)!

He is going to have to be ready. We need the depth.

 

[billford]

That sucks. But that's life. Good luck to you sir. Thanks for everything.

 

[Nationdom]

I am really starting to believe the people who say UT is cursed. Right before the Bama game. As if we werent banged up enough.

Like I have been saying, when it rains it m*****f*****g pours.

Don't get your panties in a wad time for other guys to step up and they are more than capable.

No doubt

 

[VOL Campbell]

Amen!

 

[Cornvol]

Hate it. Thanks Danny for your contributions to UT. Good luck.

Wait until it's legalized nation wide.

 

[patrick]

What a shame!

Loved - loved - loved O'Brien - tough, hard-nosed defensive lineman!

This is literally the dumbest thing I have read today. And this is an election year. Sheesh.

 

[UTK]

If he gets kicked off for weed then retarded. lol let's be real

 

[m1al]

Should be a Felony even if it's less than an ounce.

Your posts are a felonious assault on our brains..

 

[TechnoVol]

He goes out on Saturday on a stretcher and then gets booted from the team? Brutal...

Brutal maybe, his own fault... certainly. Never understood how players can't stay off weed when they are down to their last strike. :banghead2:

 

[Sudden Impact]

Hospital couldn't release that.

The hospital would release the info to the Athletic Department for insurance purposes more than likely.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Speculating but the players likely sign consent forms that allow TN to run tests any time they receive medical treatment relating to their play with the team.

 

[Dudleys87]

If its for weed then that's on him. He should have learned his lesson after he was given a pass the first time.

Hard to say though like a lot of posters have said before hospital just does not hand that out to anyone. Maybe he was given an ultimatum by someone else?

 

[CragrockVol]

If the hospital told UT he failed a drug test, would that be a HIPAA violation?
