Time for NFL and Sports League's in General to Take Obvious Step?
Is it that obvious or what is your take? Should marijuana be banned? If yes, should "medical" marijuana be banned? Interesting perspective inside the coaches of the most pro-marijuana cities in America. Short video clip with lil' valuable insight into the topic other than good ol' daytime shows to jabber about whatever. Still don't mind hearing "Georgie's" accent :) Haha
A month later, an article post on +FOX Sports touched upon it as well...

During Super Bowl Week, +Seattle Seahawks CB, +Brandon Browner spoke upon the +NFL drug testing policy and discipline on marijuana.
Nancy Armour, USA TODAY Sports
JERSEY CITY — While the Seattle Seahawks are relishing their time in the Super Bowl spotlight, Brandon Browner is on the opposite side of the country, paying for mistakes he didn't even know he'd made.
He hears NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell go all warm and fuzzy, talking about how the league is open to the use of medical marijuana if it would help players. Browner wonders where the compassion is for him.
"It totally sucks," Browner told USA Today Sports. "If (you thought) I had a problem, you should be helping me."
The Seahawks cornerback was suspended indefinitely by the NFL in December after testing positive for marijuana. That would earn most players a four-game ban, the equivalent of a slap on the wrist. But Browner is looking at a lifetime ban because he's considered a repeat offender.
Which is where things get hazy.
Browner tested positive for marijuana as a rookie in 2005. He never played that year, spending the season on injured reserve after breaking his forearm during the preseason. He was cut by the Denver Broncos before the 2006 season began, and no team picked him up.
That last bit is key.
When he was cut by the Broncos, Browner effectively became a former NFL player. The league didn't owe him anything, and he didn't think he owed the league anything.
Turns out, he was wrong.
When Browner returned to the league and tested positive again, the NFL said it was actually his third offense. His second offense was in the form of missed drug tests when he was playing in Canada from 2007-10. Yes, Canada, a country that doesn't have an NFL team.
(Sorry, borrowing one from Buffalo on occasion doesn't count.)
"He was out of the league in 2006 and 2007. That opens up a whole new can of worms," said Peter Schaffer, Browner's agent. "They're trying to put punishment on Brandon for not going to drug tests when he wasn't in the league, tests he wasn't even informed he was supposed to take."
That's like you being fired from your job, only to be punished months later because you weren't still adhering to the rules of the company that fired you.
Sound fair? Not in this country.
One can argue that marijuana is illegal, and Browner shouldn't have been using it in the first place. Except that's not so cut and dried, either.
Recreational marijuana use is legal in Colorado and Washington, where Browner played, and similar measures could be seen soon in other states. A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll found that 55 percent of Americans support legislative efforts to legalize pot.
And last week, Goodell told USA TODAY Sports that the league would consider allowing players to use marijuana if it's proven to relieve the symptoms of concussions and other head injuries. But Goodell was quick to add that, "Our medical experts are not saying that right now."
"I would say so," Browner said when asked if he considers the possible softening of the league's stance hypocritical.
Browner is the first to admit he made a mistake – twice, in fact. And he and Schaffer would feel a lot differently if the tests were part of a program meant to help Browner stay drug-free.
Except they weren't. Not once was he offered help, Browner says, or even contacted to see if there was anything the league could do for him.
"If they said, `Look, we think you have a serious problem and are so worried about you, we're going to send you to counseling sessions or Betty Ford or whatever.' Then you say `OK, you can test me. You're trying to help me,'" Schaffer said.
Instead, it looks more like a trap.
"There's no guarantee I'll be getting help even if I do fail," Browner said. "I'm subject to getting banned from the league."
Browner has appealed his suspension and is awaiting a decision from Goodell. If it fails, the earliest he could apply for reinstatement is Dec. 18.
Putting his career on hold has already cost Browner too much, and Schaffer says he will seek relief in federal court if the appeal fails.
Even if he's ultimately reinstated, however, there's no guarantee Browner, who was to be a free agent after the season, gets another job in the NFL.
If he does, there's certainly no guarantee he'll get another shot at the Super Bowl, like he would have with the Seahawks.
"Oh, it's awesome," said Browner, who plans to watch the game in California with his family. "The only thing missing is actually being there."
Browner still talks frequently with his old teammates, who are quick to tell not only him, but anyone who brings up his name, that Browner had as much to do with getting the Seahawks to the Super Bowl as anyone.
He had 19 tackles and one interception in eight games this season. He missed four others before the suspension with a groin injury.
"The idea of missing a Super Bowl is what's kept me up at night," Schaffer said. "Brandon won't say it because he's way too humble and much too much of team player. But that's the thing that bothers me most. They're taking away something you can't buy."
Tickets, it seems, aren't the only things the NFL overcharges for.

Super Bowl Weather no Longer Whether or Not
Fears that Super Bowl XLVIII would be done in by bad weather seem to have blown away.
Saturday's temperatures were in the mid-40s in New Jersey near the site of Sunday's Super Bowl.
That could be the same at kickoff Sunday, with winds also far less fierce than predicted.
Weather shouldn't be a factor at the next three Super Bowls, in Arizona, California and Texas.
NEW YORK -- With about 24 hours until kickoff of Super Bowl XLVIII, the only vortex happening in midtown Manhattan proved to be of the human variety.
With temperatures peaking in the mid-40s on Saturday, a giant mass of football fans swirled around the attractions in Times Square's Super Bowl Boulevard, many forgoing coats and wearing the jerseys of their favorite teams over bulky sweatshirts.
For all of the hype about the NFL's first cold weather Super Bowl bringing potential blizzard conditions or a continuation of the east coast's recent bout of polar temperatures, the weather at MetLife Stadium on Sunday could have about as much influence on the game as the players on the Seattle Seahawks and Denver Broncos practice squads.
Weather.com predicts the temperature at kickoff around 6:30 p.m. ET will be 43 degrees, with minimal west to northwest winds of 5 miles per hour. By the time the game ends around 10:30 p.m., the temperature is expected to have dropped 5 degrees, with any potential snow holding off until Monday morning.
The next three Super Bowl venues are lined up in Glendale, Ariz., Santa Clara, Calif. and Houston, none likely vulnerable to game-altering seasonal elements. The finalists for Super Bowl LII -- the host determined in May -- include New Orleans and two cold-weather cities with domed stadiums: Indianapolis and Minneapolis. This means that the earliest we could see another outdoor Super Bowl in a traditionally cold-weather market is February 2019.
When asked about the possibility of that happening, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell explained that the choice of future host cities comes down more to existing infrastructure than climate.
"We know there's interest in other communities hosting the Super Bowl," Goodell said Friday. "We'll all sit back and review that when we're done, but we have a very aggressive process in how to select cities.
"The ability to host a Super Bowl is more and more complicated, more and more complex, because of the size of the event and the number of events. So, the infrastructure's incredibly important. We're well over 30,000 hotel rooms needed even to host the Super Bowl. So, there's some communities that may not even be able to do it from an infrastructure standpoint, but we know the passion's there."
