Clearly Tunsil is the real victim here

 

Wow.

 

He only lost somewhere around 10 million dollars because of someone's outright maliciousness and it happened in front of the whole country. No big deal.

Or someone saved other teams 10 million to avoid the baggage he might bring? Besides how much did he make at Ole Miss?

He lost millions b/c he smoked weed with a gas mask on. Or are you suggesting the photo is shopped?

Which is ridiculous in itself, but if that comes out a week before the draft, he still goes top 5. Someone wanted to horsefeathers with him.

Of course not. It's obviously him. He admitted it was him. The issue is that someone was depraved and malicious enough to do this to him mere minutes before the biggest moment of his life. That's twisted and wrong.

of course it's wrong. but take some responsibility. Jack and Smith lost even more due to injuries, not smoking weed. I don't have a lot of sympathy for a guy who has that picture taken of himself. He'll still do just fine.

He wasn't smoking up in the green room. Somebody attacked him.

Exactly, and it went better than they possibly could have dreamed, given the juicy sound bytes he provided during that press conference where he was clearly confused about the questions coming his way. His agent made a huge mistake letting him even do something like that given where Tunsil's mind must have been at that moment.

Someone was out to get Tunsil, and succeeded. We don’t know who that someone is. But we know someone’s been trying to sell that video for weeks.

 

On April 12 we received an email in our tips inbox:

 

"40 sec video of Projected top 5 pick in the 2016 NFL draft smoking drugs (crack or weed) from gas mask. Looking to sell."

 

The email address is apparently a throwaway, but it arrived under the name “Laremy Tunsil.” Somewhat tickled by the caginess of the text when the ostensible subject was right there in the “from” column, we replied, half-facetiously:

 

"Is it Laremy Tunsil?"

 

The emailer promptly replied.

 

"yes."

 

They then sent three screen shots from the video that emerged last night.

 

We did nothing after that. We will pay for a good story (email us!), but a college kid smoking weed is not a story at all.

 

The only regrets from draft night ought to be from Tunsil for his poor password hygiene, and from a whole bunch of early-drafting NFL teams for passing on a top prospect for the absolute dumbest of reasons. And whether they regret it or not, the biggest shame belongs to whichever dirtbag screwed over Tunsil.

I think it's [expletive] up that people still make a big deal out of smoking weed

 

I agree, but the NFL DOES make a big deal out of it, which is why its stupid to even go there as a potential NFL draftee.

 

FWIW, my initial responses earlier in the thread were before I knew the video was from years ago. I thought it was something that happened recently, so mea culpa

Lol. Yes someone attacked him with a picture of himself. He's not the first guy to have this happen to him. I know why omc is all worked up but why does anyone else give a horsefeathers? He wore the mask like an idiot. He let someone take his pic. And he's still going to make millions of dollars.

 

If Ole miss hadn't paid him to go there, he would have gone somewhere else and may have avoided all this. So we can add Hugh Freeze and omc to the list of people responsible for his actions.

He's absolutely the first guy to have this targeted attack minutes before he could have been drafted 3 overall.

 

You're being an idiot about this.

Again. A sizable portion of these guys have all smoked weed at some point. It's not anymore stupid than anything any of these others guys have done in their lives. You are judging by the consequences but not that actual circumstances of what he did and when he did it.

 

People are acting like he chose to smoke in the horsefeathering green room.

Posted
I'm not acting like that at all. I'm saying that a choice he made years ago bit him in the ass last night.

 

You are forgetting the part about him deserving to lose millions and be embarrassed during the biggest moment of his life due to him going to Ole Miss and being paid to do that. As the first blue chip prospect in history to be paid by boosters, he deserved to be made an example out of.

Yeah I think its a shitty unfortunate thing that happened and I know that most 17-20 year olds make stupid mistakes they wish they could take back, but at the same time I don't feel sorry for him. Beyond the pot smoking video, he apparently accepted money from his school, which he knew was wrong, and then was Brandon Dassey'd into admitting it publicly. But after all of that he is still the 13th pick of the draft and is pretty much immediately a multimillionaire.

 

If you want to feel sorry for someone feel sorry for Michael Sam who was basically forced to come out, and saw his draft stock drop multiple rounds overnight. Even if he ultimately isn't that good, if he is a 3rd or 4th round pick he gets a legitimate shot to realize his dream and play in the NFL.

I feel bad for this kid. I have no issue with him smoking weed or getting paid. I'm actually glad he was getting paid. It's brutal that someone maliciously leaked all of that stuff right before what should have been the most exciting night of his life.

I wonder what the real number is of NFLers who partake.

 

That still do on a regular basis, or that ever have? Either way I bet the numbers are pretty high.

Tunsil never failed a drug test in college and was clean during his combine testing, yet Bosa was suspended for marijuana and that apparently wasn't an issue. The NFL is weird.
