I like how in the clip, the channel says that this is "Breaking News", yet the anchor says "as suspected". The media in general needs to be blown the hell up.

It's very common with addicts that they overdose upon relapse. They get clean, lower their drug tolerance and then when they slip up they just use the amount that they are accustomed to doing, not realizing that two $5 bags for a continuous user is much different than two $5 bags after prolonged sobriety.

That is true, sort of.  It's also true that the quality of dope available on the street varies widely, from weak shtein that's been stomped hard to clean pure shtein that's hardly been cut, nevermind the shtein that's been spiked with poison.  Dope fiends with steady habits die on the regular because they cannot get a reliable dose.

It's entirely possible that (one of) Reid's junkie sons died because his tolerance was reduced and he failed to take that into account, but it's also possible that he just had stronger shtein than he thought.

In short, legalize it.

Yeah there's no way that line changes in two weeks

Short of an injury to a key player the only way it changes is when the bookies try to even out a side. The Eagles, with their off the bye record, will get slammed at -2 because its below the key number of 3.

Cruelest part of the AP story:

"I don't want to die doing drugs. I don't want to be that kid who was the son of the head coach of the Eagles, who was spoiled and on drugs and OD'd and just faded into oblivion," he told the judge at his sentencing hearing.

Oops.

Whatever dude, we've all said that to ourselves.

One good reason for an October bye?

One less game to see the players all pinked out.

Agreed, the breast cancer/pink halo effect the NFL is using to draw a female audience is tiresome.

in case there are any still that naive here

Is The NFL Profiting Off Of Breast Cancer?

It is Breast Cancer Awareness month, and the NFL is doing its part to support the cause as the league has become saturated in pink (click here for numerous examples). However, off the field, it is a different story.

Many of the items seen on the field can also be purchased in the NFL's online shop. But while the items on the field will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society, it is less clear how much of the sales of pink gear in the NFL Shop go towards research.

According to the website, by purchasing pink items in the NFL Shop, fans can "support the fight against breast cancer with pink NFL breast cancer awareness gear." Of course, there is a huge difference between supporting "awareness" and donating money to research. In the case of the former, most of the money ends up in the pockets of billionaire NFL owners.

When we contacted the NFL's online shop for clarification, we were told 5% of the sales are being donated to the American Cancer Society. If the pink products have a typical 100% mark-up at retail, that means the NFL is keeping 90% of the profit from the sale of Breast Cancer Awareness gear.

And then consider that only 70.8% of money the ACS receives goes towards research and cancer programs. So, for every $100 in sales of pink gear, only $3.54 is going towards research while the NFL is keeping approximately $45 (based on 100% mark-up)

Oh btw, the CEO of the ACS salary is > $2.2 million. And if cancer is cured, what happens to those salaries?

lol

I would be cool with a little pink...gloves or the towels the players wear. But this shoes, gloves, socks, towels, field painted, stadium enshrouded with it everywhere is overkill

More men watch football. More men die of prostate than women of breast cancer.

Lets have breast cancer awareness month....makes sen$e

[PhillyPhreak54]

or how about

Andy Reid clock management awareness month where all players wear Flava Flave time pieces around their necks?
The Mike Vick ball security awareness month where Sir Turnover wears a baby bjorn and places the ball in there while running?
