- Alabama CB Dre Kirkpatrick arrested for marijuana possession - This isn't like Justin Blackmon's DWI that any sensible mind in a front office will be able to rationalize; this is a player coming off of a championship, beginning his transition to the NFL by doing something with weed. I say doing something, because whether he was about to smoke it or he was selling it (and in that low quantity, that may be the worst answer) or he was just riding with a friend who had it, it's a judgment issue. The real question people will have for him at the combine is "why now?"
- Shrine Game practices are in full force - This is largely behind the curtain stuff. Does the fact that USC RB Marc Tyler had a good two-day run immediately catapult him into day 2 status? No. But saying catapult reminds me of nerdy guys who spend too much time making homemade catapults. And while I make fun of those guys, I really wish I had their handheld homemade catapults.
- Did Van get a mock on the SB Nation front page? - yes.
It's still relatively quiet on the draft front at this point, until Andrew Luck gets busted for moving a donkload of that Pyrex pure over the California border. Don't know what a donk is? Then you probably don't know what that Pyrex is for (consult your local Brad Jordan historian).
But the Shrine Game is this Saturday followed by the Senior Bowl a week from Saturday. That will help lead up to the combine in late February, so expect stuff to pick up on this front quickly.

Ouch. Hope no one invested in his stock.
Kirkpatrick
Pacman Jones…..
Jeff Fisher?
St Louis Rams?
Nawwwwwwwwww
Rickrock - January 17, 2012
he doesn't have
the huge red flag that Pacman did, but he’ll be asked about this during interviews at the combine.

Way to go Dre!
You just cost yourself a ton of money…….Claiborne sure is the beneficiary of all the indescretions from Dre, Janoris and the Harris kid.
RamTeaPartier - January 17, 2012
now that's true
Janoris Jenkins and Cliff Harris might have been in the top tier conversation had they played full seasons at Florida and Oregon, respectively.
3k - January 17, 2012 via Android app
harris has a bigger red flag
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
by that I meant
Kelly doesn’t like Harris for some reason, so besides his legal trouble, it raises more questions
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
I think this confirms that Dre is a bad person
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
and we clearly shouldn't go anywhere near him
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Yup
absolutely, he should also be banished from this country.
On the other hand, Pete Carroll is drafting Dre.
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
oh I guess not everyone actually knows me or my stance on this subject lol
this is VERY sarcastic
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Man you had me luaghing MAO
moy - January 17, 2012
yeah I didn't want anyone thinking I'm up
on my moral high horse lol
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
but you have a point if he bogarts
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd.......
rec’d well played sir
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
oh no man, i knew you were sarcastic
come on, i’m from alaska, man; and my family is from the northwest, man. Not that I’m a stoner, but I have no problem with green.
But pete carroll is a stoner
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
Hey next time you're in Ptown look around for a Stoner electric hat
They’re the coolest. It used to be the name of an electrical contractor, his actual name but I think they’ve changed the name of the company, or it’s now incorporated or something. Anyhoo the hat can sometimes be found in goodwill or second hand stores.
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
haha nice
one of the guys i worked with this summer said he worked for “Hooker Creek Construction” in OR and then I saw a sign somewhere that said something about hooker creek when I was down there.
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
Even better
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
yeah I knew you knew lol
but people who don’t follow me on twitter or anything might not know lol
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
haha yup for sure
and I wish they’d just legalize the stuff, so stupid. but this is no place for a debate like that
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
yes and yes
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Wonder if the whole Albama defense is high on that stuff too
That can explain why they are so good !!!!!! Lol
Rickrock - January 17, 2012
hoping this isn't a sore subject but.....
doh
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
Hehehe
Oh, college recruiting. You do make me laugh so.

So much depends on the fragile minds of teenagers
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
Q: Were Cliff Harris and Dre driving in the same car?
A: No, they weren’t going fast enough and they still had the weed, having not “smoked it all”
sergey606 - January 17, 2012
Hmmm
Just legalize it. Marijuana is no worse than alcohol. In fact you never hear of anyone beating their wife or kids because of marijuana abuse.
Dre would be a concern to draft for fear of this sort of thing popping up during time with whatever team he joins. Causing suspensions and overall hurting the team. Come on man, hopefully he can smarten up and keep clean for his football career. Snoop dog and Willie Nelson can smoke all they want and not worry too much but neither of them play pro football and take regular drug tests.
KeSt - January 17, 2012
yes
this is the proper forum to debate the ethical ramifications of narcotic ingestion and policy. I agree!
3k - January 17, 2012
it sure does seem like the door is open though...
just sayin’
i think the biggest problem i have with this is that he knows what is at stake, yet he still chose to smoke weed. he kinda seems like a dumb ass to me.
navybluenachos33 - January 17, 2012
you caught us
when we said we were expanding, some thought more football talk. Oh no! welcome to TST political
Eric Nagel - January 17, 2012 via mobile
quit trolling
navybluenachos33 - January 17, 2012
Trolls? I hunt trolls.
RAMpage28 - January 17, 2012
godspeed, sir!
navybluenachos33 - January 17, 2012
But its fun
since ramchop/edpjr/other 60 usernames was removed, somebody has to do it.
Eric Nagel - January 17, 2012 via mobile
I think rammon and jswirb are doing a fine job
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Yeah, Eric!
Quit trolling! Why is your name at the bottom of my screen, too? Is that like the super troll list? If I want to talk about how I want to smoke weed, drive a tractor and post here at TST all at the same time without my civil rights being violated, THIS IS THE PLACE TO DISCUSS SUCH THINGS!
FailureDrill - January 18, 2012
I'm not debating it
I was talking about how it could hurt him in his pro career. But I wanted to give my opinion that I think marijuana should be legalized. Not debating anyone. Just a quick opinion.
Seems more related to the subject than photos of half-naked women. Seeing as we are talking about a football player who has gotten in trouble with possession of marijuana and half-naked women are just non-football related eye-candy. Not that I have a problem with half naked women photos on this site’s comments. :)
I respect you 3k as a writer on this site. Long time reader, 3 day old member. I apologize. :)
KeSt - January 17, 2012
It's all good homie
I was just screwing with you.
3k - January 18, 2012
Lets remember
The NBA does not test for Marijuana, because they (for the most part) smoke it daily!!!
fearsomefoursum - January 17, 2012
The Ravens need to draft one of
the three and have them room with RW.
RamTeaPartier - January 17, 2012
four pillars has you guys all messed up...
i say draft em in the second!
navybluenachos33 - January 17, 2012
fucking idiot
StarzNBarz - January 17, 2012
That's a good way of putting it.
RAMpage28 - January 17, 2012
can anybody tell me how to post pictures?
everytime I try, it doesn’t show up
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
What internet browser do you use?
RAMpage28 - January 17, 2012
explorer
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Can't help yeah there I use chrome and the process is easy.
RAMpage28 - January 17, 2012
mine is Firefox
should be close for IE though.
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
download chrome or firefox. Even the SBNation publishing utility works better with those browsers than with explorer
Douglas M - January 17, 2012
Well when you right click on the picture and the drop down menu appears
You have to click on the right choice
For me it’s “copy link location”
then when you go to make a comment you click on the little tree logo in between the title box and the comments box and you paste the link there. After some experimenting that should get you going.
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
For you it may be copy image location
then paste it into the url box in the tree’s window
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
The biggest problem i run into is that when I copy my pic's url into the insert image text box
the http: will sometimes show up twice in a row. You can only have one.
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
using explore
sometimes I get
http://http://
when I need
http://
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
got it lol
I had to click on properties and find the image url because none of the stuff you guys said popped up when I right-clicked lol. Thanks for all the help though, I appreciate it
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
ahh....yeah....right....sure
that’s the problem…..lol
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
It shouldn't take long far an ambitious and hard working (high on meth) man like him to get the needed signatures
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
he actually has a show on comedy central
his name is Nick Swardson
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
I've not seen him yet
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
he gets pretty graphic and weird
but I think he’s hilarious
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
I was gonna put this as a response to 3k's comment about this not being the right forum
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Love Swardson
dude has some GREAAAAAAAAAAAAT bits. His shit on Wheel of Fortune is A+.

WHEEL! OF! MONEY!
King Sam Rules! - January 17, 2012 via mobile
That was funny
Even if it did lead me to some vids of a chubby 23 yo blond illini girl
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
BTW Dre sure looks pretty in that photo
hopefully he got out.
dbcouver - January 17, 2012
good lord haha
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Can we get him in the second now
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
I wish
but there’s probably no chance, unless something else surfaces
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
I'm on it
Pcp or heroine this time ?
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
surprise me
Josh Wehrle - January 17, 2012
Both:)
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
save the pcp for a RB
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
And the dear hooker with crack in her anus for a LT?
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Dead
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
sure
but there is no bringing down someone on pcp. Not the defense, the police dept, fire dept, net. Nothing.
Come to think of it. A dead hooker with crack in her ass would make a smokin center.
LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
You guys are aware you are a little messed up?
King Sam Rules! - January 17, 2012 via mobile
We are for hard rams fans
so yes a lil messed up describes us
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile
so with our 7th round pick
We should draft tht crack head ezel from friday. Would only cost us a “hunnet and fiddy thoussssand dollas”
Ram_Redemption - January 17, 2012 via mobile

LARams1968 - January 17, 2012
No, why do Hue ask?
King Sam Rules! - January 17, 2012 via mobile
Hue do you think you are asking questions like that?
RAMpage28 - January 17, 2012
Hue do Hue think Hue are questioning what I Hue?!?!
King Sam Rules! - January 17, 2012 via mobile

We absolutely have to get Hue now.
dbcouver - January 18, 2012 via mobile
