Von Miller = Odell Thurman 2.0?

[CrashDavisSports]

What is this guy thinking? He has all the talent in the world, is at the top of his game, is going to be rewarded with a huge contract, and he starts f'n it all up! What do these guys have to have going through their head to say hey, how can I destroy my life today.

I guess I just do not get it. They are living out their dreams, and they are at the top of their profession, and bam, dumbasses overnight.

They get to the point where they think they are always going to get their way in the end, no matter what.

I wouldn't be surprised if RG ends up suspending him an extra game, or two.

I suppose that much is true. Just think, everyone thought Von Miller coming out of college with those smart kids glasses was a sure thing. He was incognito from the real Von Miller. Doesn't matter how good you are or how strong you are if you can ever play a game due to suspension. Smart fella he is.

Saw he got cited for not having proper ID when driving the other day, but now I see per CBS that he's got an open warrant for his arrest in California.

Damn.

Well, there is fucking up and there is FUCKING up. At least he's not being held without bond on a murder rap.

Just think of what you would be like if someone handed you a few million dollars in your early 20's. I'm guessing there is about a 60% chance I would be dead if that happened to me.

I wouldn't, because even in my 20's I didn't have big tastes. I don't drink much, I don't care for fancy restaurants, I don't want a big house, I want a cozy, easy to cleanup and maintain house with a lot of nice stuff.

I would probably spend my money on a really nice car, but the biggest thing anyone would be busting me for is speeding.

 

[Gypsumstack]

When I turned 18 I quit my restaurant job and got a factory job. Since I was making twice in one week what my friends were making in two, I got to be the guy that bought all the booze and drugs on the weekends. Multiply that by a thousand times or so and I don't think I would have made it.

Now I would be fine. I don't do drugs and I don't drink as often as when I was younger. And like you I don't have expensive tastes. I'd want a nice house with some land out in the country and a nice vehicle or two. My biggest splurge would probably be a Harley and a classic Mustang.

Pretty sure he has never been busted for Steroids just drugs...kind of a big difference. And in reality he has only been busted once in the NFL for Drug Use and that was his rookie year. His mistake this year was dropping his urine sample which the NFL deems as a positive test.

Other than that the kid has been busted for speeding a couple of times and reckless driving another. His biggest mistake in all of this was not paying his tickets on time which then lead to warrants out for his arrest. It was a stupid mistake/mistakes for sure but it is not like the guy killed or raped someone. These are correctable mistakes that from what I understand the Broncos hired somebody to check every county in the country to make sure there were no other unpaid tickets in Von Miller's name.

I guess we shall see if this immature behavior continues. The kid until this past summer has never been known for disciplinary issues and every NFL team has said he came with 0 red flags coming out of college so again I don't think this is a sign of bad behavior just immature behavior.

It's impossible to verify any of this info.... The NFL simply doesn't release it. But according to the bylaws, he must have been placed in stage 1 of the leagues drug policy before being suspended -- And Mort even reported that the NFL considered a suspension for the entire year due to the way Miller attempted to dilute his sample. It's also impossible to know what they tested positive for -- The info isn't released.

Have you seen the dude's forehead though? It's growing to Bonds proportions.
