Talib and Manningham Admit Marijuana Use; Draft Status Affected?

[Schneed10]

I have a general distaste for marijuana and for those who smoke it (sorry), but I'm looking at this strictly through a GM's eyes:

- Smoking pot can get you banned from games.
- If I draft you, I want you available and accountable to your teammates.
- So if you smoke pot, you're risking your availability.

QED: Not the kind of guy I want on my team.

Agreed and it more of a problem that he thinks the first time he smoked doesn't count. Basically like the one official said it seems like he just doesn't "get it". I wouldn't be surprised to see a similar apology letter from Talib soon after he gets word of this article.
