LaVon Brazill suspended for 1 year.

[pgt_rob]

What a dummy... I wonder if he'll be cut.

[HtownColt]

Least he has his degree in Recreation management to fall back on......I think

[icf]

....good thing the Colts signed Nicks.

[Poster X]

Now we know who our receivers will be with too much trouble. The guys best shot anyways was as the teams kick returner... as he likely wouldn't have seen the ball much. I'll never understand why people refuse to put the drugs away when they have a shot at a stable career.

[John Waylon]

Cut him now. 

 

It takes a real * to get popped twice in one year.

 

Moving on.

[jvan1973]

So much for those folks screaming to the rooftops he would make the team over Griff. What a complete *

[FloridaColtsFan]

This time of year no news is good news

Yup, you have a point there.

[Stephen]

well guess its wayne nicks hilton moncrief rogers and whalen

[antipatriot]

I dont care that he is gone its his own fault and in my I am sure unpopular opinion he was our worst receiver I like whalen and Rogers much better.

[NewEra]

Peace out! Can't fix stupid.

[Superman]

Pretty ridiculous punishment for a little Mary Jane. (Which I assume it was since he said it was last time)

 

The thing that sucks is that the NFL has been talking about reducing the penalties for marijuana use. I think, a year from now, things will be different. 

 

But it's really dumb of Brazill to be in this position. That's three failed drug tests now. You get tested more regularly after the first failed test, then you get suspended four games after the second, then you get a year after the third. It's hard to feel anything by disappointment for a player who fails three drug tests in less than two years, even if the penalty is harsher than it should be.

[PeterBowman]

welp this makes final cuts for receiver that much easier

[colts_100nascar17fan]

Yeah! I didn't like him anyway. Best to cut him now and makes the wr spots pretty much set without losing anything really.

[Superman]

What a dummy... I wonder if he'll be cut.

 

Assuming he's already appealed and lost, I'd release him now. Bring someone else in and give those reps away. He can't help us in 2014, and continuing to use his roster spot through camp and preseason seems like a waste.

 

Unless you think he's really going to be a big part of your team in the future, it's time to move on. And it's hard to project that kind of future for him, considering that any failed drug tests will cost him a season.

[jskinnz]

No. You get out of here. Don't tell me what to do. I don't care about what was going through Brazill's head. It is a stupid amount of punishment no matter who it is.

Your first post on this was bad. This is worse.

The drug policy is a collectively bargained system agreed upon by both the players and league. Whatever you think of pot, violating the policy twice as Brazill is not a reflection of a bad system but horrendous lack of judgement by Brazill. That is where the problem lies.

[akcolt]

How is he gone and Josh is still up in the air? I was all for the guy liked him and I am not some anti-weed nazi but rules are rules he should be cut.

 

I would not be so sure Whalen sticks could still see us keeping 5 which was a strong possibility from the get go especially with the show Moncrief has put on and if Rogers is impressive.

 

There was a lot of buzz it was one slot for Rogers Whalen and Brazil keeping a FB and 4 RB's could equal 5wr's

[BPM_Colt]

What a fool.. Knew what was at stake if he messed up again. Bye bye Brazill

 

Perfectly fine with Wayne, Nicks, Hilton, Moncrief, and Rogers anyway

[The Fish]

[colts8718]

We should have never let go of Heyward bey

[HungarianColtsFan]

What a dummy... I wonder if he'll be cut.

 

 

Likely he will be...

 

I'd give him a chance to check in a rehab center, to get rid of his demons. If he failed...done.

 

The guy has talent...he's just about 'smoking' it.

[Poster X]

Pretty ridiculous punishment for a little Mary Jane. (Which I assume it was since he said it was last time)

The thing is he has been doing more than a little because he has been caught more than once. My guess is his time as a Colt has just gone up in smoke.

 

[HungarianColtsFan]

We should have never let go of Heyward bey

 

 

It must be some sort of  sarcasm.

[Coltswarriors]

What a loser. (it won't let me say what I want to say...)

 

He's gone, no way we keep him. This isn't his first time, either.

[lollygagger8]

Nice knowing you Brazil, you just made the decision that much easier for the Colts to go with Whalen.

[kjyb]

....good thing the Colts signed Nicks.

 good thing we got rogers, t.y.Wayne nicks and FEED moncreif 

[Bravo]

Makes the WR position a little easier to choose! Helps 53 man roster decisions and let's us see more of Moncrief!!!!

Thanks for making the decision for us Brazil!!!!

[beavis]

I remember when him and John Boyett both got in trouble at the same time.  It was general consensus that one of them had to be released.  I really think they picked the wrong one.

[pacolts56]

Least he has his degree in Recreation management to fall back on......I think

He's pretty good at Recreation Mismanagement...that's for damn sure.

[OldSchoolColt]

Yes, very stupid on Brazil's part and deserves what he got. The problem I have is that it is a very stupid and outdated rule. It is wrong to have such a rule against smoking mary jane by the NFL. Is there a rule against drinking alcohol? What would fans think about a rule that if you have drank any alcohol in the last month, then you are suspended for four games? What does any of this have anything to do with playing football? Alcohol is way worse than weed and yet it is not even called a drug. No weed, no alcohol.

[Cynjin]

Last year I believe Lavon said he was going to straighten up and that it was either pot or money.  I guess pot won out.

Alcohol is legal... Marijuana is not yet

 

but agreed on the outdated

[SteelCityColt]

Well what an *ic thing to do and one that angers me, I would say before people cry harsh treatment, but too late, take what his actual transgression is out of the equation and remember this is a guy who promised he was going to focus on football and fly right etc etc.

I'm all for giving people chances at redemption but he's pretty much spit on the face of everyone who gave him a third (!) chance.

Talent gave him the chance of a lifetime and he's let it go up in smoke. Zero sympathy.

[Patagonia Chris]

He was going to cut at the end of the pre-season anyway.

[Dark Superman]

Griff Whalen is dancing his socks off right now.

While I can agree on your views, fact is he made an agreement as part of his job not to do it. He as a "professional" failed to abide by the rules of his profession, one that happens to offer renumeration that should make it easy to put down the green till after your career is done.

[SteelCityColt]

Griff Whalen is dancing his socks off right now.

Griff Whalen picked a bad time to drop a pill

[Nobody]

Now Moore has a shot at the 53, has to beat Griff which is doable

[corgi]

The good news is now he can smoke all the weed he wants for the next year! Apparently he was doing that anyway so minus the paycheck nothing really changes.

[a06cc]

Out for the year, but deserves a chance. The guy needs help staying clean and knowing priorities. We've all made mistakes more than once. The kid deserves a chance. Don't know if it will be here. Best of Luck to him though. Very talent young man.

I agree.  However, if the NFL CBA, as negotiated by the league and the union, included a provision prohibiting the eating of pie, and you eat a pie, it's still your fault, even if it's a dumb rule.
