It's Not Mine I Say

Vikings running back Onterrio Smith, who has a history of violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, was briefly detained by airport police last month after they found an elaborate kit used to beat drug tests.

- uh oh! smells like trouble.

Smith told officers it was dried urine used in conjunction with a device called ``The Original Whizzinator.'' The officer who filed the report wrote that Smith ``told me that it was dried urine for making a clean urine test.'' In addition, he had a bottle of pills labeled ``cleansing formula.''

-just tell all the business why don't ya? Without consulting a lawyer. How 'bout that?

Smith told police he was taking the vials to his cousin.

- Officer you don't think this belongs to me do you? Hmmph! I may be a snitch but I'm no drug addict.

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said league rules state that failing to cooperate with a drug test was the same as failing it, but he wasn't sure whether there was any penalty for possessing a device designed to beat such a test

- Something tells me the bosses will be closing that loophole shortly

Smith was suspended last season for four games after testing positive for marijuana. It was his second ``strike'' in the NFL's substance-abuse program. He would earn a yearlong suspension for a third violation.

...a tube of toothpaste set off an alarm as a bag Smith was carrying was being scanned. Six or seven vials of white powder were discovered in the bag. Smith was detained, questioned and allowed to leave, the report said.

- And you were carrying the bag with you because...?

SO WHAT! Everyone smokes weed.

Hmm! Interesting thought.

Actually, everyone doesn't smoke weed - I don't.

He works in an industry where drug use is prohibited. When that policy is violated the league takes the game checks of offender and suspends offender from playing regular season games. The money thing may not be a big deal to some players but the game suspension is huge. The abssence of an impact player could be the variable that slows a team's momentum enough to prevent them from progessing to the playoffs.

Black people are FOREVER trying to use a "cousin" as a scapegoat... *smh*

People sometimes need common sense to realize that the small things that can cost us our livelihood are really not worth it, no matter HOW cool they are.
