I don't think Gurley's loss of effectiveness had anything to do with his mental state. It had more to do with his inability to overcome the arthritic flareups. IMO he was a tough cookie who would have loved to have a healthy left knee. The kid knew -and knows-how to play football.by waterfield - RamsFootballFans.com
I think the Rams knew they were taking a chance when they drafted him knowing that his horrific knee injury in college would result in some arthritis that would flare up "now and then". What they couldn't see -nor could anyone else, including the Ortho guys-was how soon it would become bothersome and how often it would occur and how serious the flare ups would be to cause him to eitherby waterfield - RamsFootballFans.com

It wasn't "necessary". They could have remained in St. Louis and made money. (they certainly wouldn't have lost money). St. Louis is a great sports town and has lots of culture and history behind it. What it is NOT is a S---Hole city. Personally, I love it-saw a few Ram games there and enjoyed out door concerts and several fantastic Italian meals on "the hill".

Nevertheless, in full recognition of that, it still was painful to me when the Rams left So Cal for St. Louis.by waterfield - RamsFootballFans.com
tell those in St. Louis to forget it and go on with their lives. For many a team becomes like a family to tis fans. After Shaw and Georgia took the Rams to St. Louis after being here (So Cal) since 1946 I was angered, hurt, depressed-after all they took a big part of my childhood. So I don't think we can discount the feelings of fans anywhere who lose "their team"-even though it isn't rby waterfield - RamsFootballFans.com

I understand that pot is a so called "drug" to the IOC. I also understand that is why she was suspended (not banned from the Olympics) for 30 days thus preventing her from competing in the 100. Moreover, she understands that and accepts that. My question addresses the reasoning behind pot being a banned substance-i.e. performance enhancing. My response is most experts-if not all-say itby waterfield - Bucky's Pub
Naw-the "old" day were when the Rams arrived in L.A. from Cleveland in 1946. And the greatest play in Ram history was not stopping Tennessee at the one yd line but the VanBrocklin to Fears td pass (71 yds) in 1951 to win the NFL Championship. Today that is called the Super Bowl.by waterfield - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think ANYONE is saying she should be given a pass. Most certainly she is not. I give her credit for her unwavering acceptance of the penalty without blaming anyone other than herself. To me that doesn't translate to being an "IDIOT". To me it translates to making a mistake and taking responsibility for it.by waterfield - Bucky's Pub
I can only tell you what I mean by "fit". Whatever image the Dodgers want to send out to the public -by public I mean fathers, wives, children, etc-I would be surprised if forced sodomy is one. I could be wrong but I've gone through all the promotional literature they send me and -again I could be wrong-but I have yet to see forced sodomy in there-same with breaking a woman's jaw siby waterfield - Bucky's Pub
hard to believe they have the second best record in the majors. With all the injures and defense failures plus the Bauer incident, Bellinger having another terrible year, Betts being less than he was last year, -I guess it just shows how deep this team is. BTW I don't think we will see Bauer in a Dodger uniform again. He just doesn't fit in with this organization. They never even made an attempby waterfield - Bucky's Pub

I've been compared to a whale. My only point is that it makes no sense to not include alcohol use as a criteria for discipline if you are going to discipline athletes for conduct unrelated to performance enhancing substances. Simply put if your mission is to promote role models alcohol abuse is no different than MJ abuse. All the more reason why the real reason Richardson was suspended waby waterfield - Bucky's Pub
The reason? Not performance enhancing. For those who argued the mission statement of the IOC Anti-Doping has other criteria for administrating discipline besides pot being performance enhancing-here is a sample of them: The use of MJ can harm the athlete and affect his performance thus endangering both the user and other competitors. The use of MJ goes against our standardby waterfield - Bucky's Pub
The one thing about earthquakes that is scary is -you don't really understand how they suddenly happen. In a hurricane you know its coming and you have all kinds of stuff on tv telling you how its forming and the causes, etc. I still don't really understand what causes an earthquake to occur.

Editorial: Sha’Carri Richardson’s suspension was fair, but the marijuana rule isn’t By THE TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD JULY 7, 2021 UPDATED 3:25 PM PT Sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson delights fans with her vivid style, even bolder smile, strength of character and deep and open love of her grandmother.

To the extent that the above describes reasons why pot can lead to discipline is different than what I have posted I will admit so.
