I've had this confirmed on Chandler Jones. We're not talking about a drug that was prescribed by a pharmacist or team medical personnel.

ends with a lol

Source with knowledge of the situation confirms it was synthetic marijuana that caused Chandler Jones' bad reaction and hospitalization.

o jeez that stuff is so horrible

spice is such a bad drug, such a good argument for legalization

Is synthetic pot legal or what? I don't even know, also don't know nfl's position on it

prob some types have been outlawed some places but it takes a while for state governments to get around to each new one so yeah its basically legal

When the officer first saw Jones, he noted that the man was not wearing a shirt.

“This black male subject had a muscular build, he was easily over six feet tall, and he had a noticeably large ‘wing span,’ ” Foscaldo wrote.

Jones approached the police station, Foscaldo wrote, and began to move strangely.

“Without any warning or provocation, this man got down on his knees, he interlocked his fingers, and he placed his hands tightly against the back of his head. For a quick second or two, this man held this position - it was like this man was trying to surrender (he was literally ‘as stiff as a board’/he was both upright and rigid.”

Next, the officer wrote, Jones moved slowly toward the ground: “Honestly, it appeared as if he was actively praying or worshiping.”

get yr shit together, Chandler

After observing the marijuana smell, the officer told paramedics, the documents said.

way to end on a high note

he had a noticeably large ‘wing span,’

amateur draft analyst

this has to be k2

i lolled at the wing span note also. why not have him run a quick 40 also? test his blood for upside?

record-equaling 5 championship games in a row. also 10 champ games for brady now, insane.

@DougKyed

Edelman on Brady's 10-yard run: "Anytime the clydesdale gets running, the crowd goes crazy."

B-)

mayo on IR. that's a bummer for him. seems like he hasn't been 100% at all for a while, this whole season at least.

lying in bed last night couldn't remember drew bledsoe's name. refused to let myself sleep until i did; refused to look it up on my phone right next to the bed. felt like hours, probably 45 minutes.

Bledsoe haunts me too

lol

seems like every broncos unit is playing just a bit better than the equivalent NE unit

tbrr, Bledsoe had his great moments. The only NFL game I ever went to was Bledsoe vs. Marino at Schaefer stadium the year the Pats went to the SB against GB. Bledsoe broke a finger during that game but still managed to beat Miami. It was probably the single most exciting event of my life.

shdve kicked that fg

if you mean the first one, the 4th and 1, then totally disagree, they just should've run a better play. the 4th and 6 they should've kick. but bear in mind they left denver with gross field position both times. with a kickoff after other things could've played out v differently

after either, i mean

they were a really bad short-yardage team for a lot of the season. not such that it should have stopped them from going for it on 4th and 1, but the degree of difficulty was higher than it should have been.

it's the second-best elimination of the sports year!

wow they're showing the pats/broncos game on NFLN now and i didn't realize how open gronk was on that attempted 2-point conversion. brady never looked his way

i need to unbookmark this thread for a while lol

i was rooting for the pats because i don't really like football and i thought the fact that they made everyone who cares about football mad was funny. RIP

lol

It never ceases to amaze me how full-on LOATHED the Patriots are outside of New England

the best part abt moving to colorado has been telling ppl that the patriots dont have a rivalry with the broncos

a bad part was watching that game in a house full of broncos fans

pats are 1-4 against the broncos in the playoffs fwiw

that sounds like something broncos fan who is under the impression the patriots are engaged in a battle for civilization with them wld say and yet i know you are not form colorado

who drinks flat beer?

british people ime

colorado has not yet legalized a rivalry with the patriots

Patriots Nation may have forgotten -- or at least is trying to forget -- Aaron Hernandez, but the tight-end-turned-convicted-murderer hasn't forgotten Patriots Nation.
In a letter to a prison pen pal obtained by TMZ, the incarcerated Hernandez says he watches the Pats games from a TV in a cell and "still [roots] for my squad and still [loves] all the ones I loved."

But he no longer loves one of the ones he loved, describing owner Robert Kraft as "fake ass [and] non loyal," saying Kraft "told me he loved me every time he seen me but obviously shows his word ain't [crap]."

Kraft testified against Hernandez in the trial in which the ex-Patriot was convicted of murdering his former friend, Oden Lloyd.

But he has good words for others, like . . .

Tom Brady: "The closest I was with was probably Brady and whom I love to death and always will and only hope the best for them.”

Rob Gronkowski: “The BEST TE ever to walk on a football field”

Julian Edelman and Deion Branch: "[Was] cool with Julez, Branch (I [bleeped] with and got mad love for)"

Hernandez started the letter by blasting his pen pal -- a woman named Rachel -- for criticizing him and went on to suggest ways she could kill herself:

-- “Tie a cinderblock to your ankles and jump in a deep body of water,” Hernandez writes.

-- “Buy the most powerful firecracker in the world that’s possible to buy, tie it to your face with duct tape, light it and wait for your head to explode.”

But he ends by saying he hopes she "had the best of holidays" . . . though the letter is dated Dec. 15, 10 days before Christmas.

This Charming Man just popped into my head

I just had an idea for a great new sitcom

please let that cat be the pats' new offensive line coach.

he gives better belichick face than belichick himself.

Have you never encountered Grumpy Cat before? She is possibly a bigger celebrity than Gronk.
