Now that Denver Broncos Running Back Travis Henry has tested positive for marijuana and put his career in jeopardy, it begs the question, Why is it that so many athletes risk their livlihood to smoke drugs?
In the past few years, you can almost field a fantasy team worth of players who have been caught using recreational drugs:
QB: Michael Vick
RB: Ricky Williams, Travis Henry
WR: Randy Moss, David Boston
TE: Jerramy Stevens
Even more, at the last NFL scouting combine, top rookies Calvin Johnson, Gaines Adams, and Amobi Okoye all admitted to previously using marijuana!!
Then again, if you are 20 years old and have millions to spend, what else are you going to spend it on? You can only have so many fancy cars and HD TV's!!
I even remember years back when a bench player for the Celtics had a big Halloween party at his place in Boston. He was 24 with millions to spend, and so he had a special room in his house just for marijuana smoking! Can you imagine? An entire room devoted to toking...
I understand why these guys do it. I'm just shocked by how dumb they all are to get caught.
