|Lucid| Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 [quote name='Bunghole' timestamp='1316802040' post='1035361'] What I still can't wrap my head around is the enormous amount of risk he took on for very little actual financial gain when compared to his NFL salary, a salary that would have gone way up on his next contract, presumably. He makes $555,000 a year under his current contract. The type of weed he was (allegedly) selling goes for about $125 a quarter. So figure he sells nothing but quarterbags, that's $500 an ounce, $8000 a pound, a total of $64,000 and some change for all he had. That's just not enough money to justify possibly getting caught to me. But then again, I'm not fucking stupid either.

Even then, his GF - I mean, if youre going to deal drugs, you get your stuff via the USPS? Shit, I wouldn't rely on them to get it to the correct address, and to know it would be going through scanners, etc. And then, to have it sent registered mail (an assumption -maybe the signing for it was a ruse the task force added). How dumb can you be? Amazing. Hell, maybe he was preparing for his life after the NFL. And depending upon how this shakes out, that will be determined for him.

CTBengalsFan Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 He was obviously just diversifying his business interests! Of course he broke the cardinal rule of being a drug kingpin - you need to buffer yourself from this shit and use a dummy house in your buddy's name and give him cash to pay for it. C'mon man! Let him take the fall. [img]http://domusicnow.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/cmon-man.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BengalsOwn Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 [quote name='JC' timestamp='1316801326' post='1035355'] So after all my denial and making jokes of what I thought was something that a professional would beat, it's starting to hit me.. This blows. We waited three years to see two unreal games from the guy. Get our first glimpse of how good he could be this weekend and poof. It's likely all over. Really can't make this shit up. I suck at picking favorite players. First Corey, then Chris, then Rome. [/quote] Who chooses a player who didn't do ANYTHING for the first 3 years of his career as a "favorite"? That's like me saying my favorite car is a 1993 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. And that I love Chevy Aveos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big_dish Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I still cant comprehend how unbelievably stupid this whole thing is... I mean, just plain unbelievable. Even for a Bengals fan... How could someone with so much to lose be so stupid? This is one of the most stupid things I think I may have ever heard. Just, wow... And for the people who think he may not have known, or he had a roommate/gf selling it, I'll tell you what. There is not a chance in hell that his entire house did not reek. 100% absolutely positive there is no way he didnt know that was in there. I think his legal punishment may not be so bad (compared to someone who doesnt have money) but his career is drastically changed (or over) due to being incredibly dumb. Good job "keeping it real" Jerome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBengalsFan Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I agree that he probably knew, but it's not for certain that his house would smell because of it. If it's all vacuum sealed, it's not going to smell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You make 3 erroneous assumptions.. First that the weed in the house was all dank shit and was opened... Secondly that someone would be fucking retarded enough to ship 2 pounds of weed without vacuum sealing it. Last that vacuum sealing is somehow the same as bricking. And finally.. I have been in a house with at least that much weed and most likely quite a bit more on multiple occasions and it didn't smell. And yes the lbs of dank within were incredibly sticky and stinky. I have also been in a home with a fairly large grow room (these guys were growing a skunk hybrid) and you couldn't smell shit unless you got close to the room.. And there was no plastic coating anything or any other outrageous precaution you just named. There are ways, and it isn't that complicated.
