DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Antonio Callaway cited for marijuana possession

Iluv again:





It's not about pot. It's about commitment to professionalism. Probably intelligence too.

If I was talented enough to play in the NFL, I'd easily give up pot and follow the rules for a few years.

This a chink in Dorsey's armor. Not that the Haslams care.

I'm not talking about Calloway here. But are you suggesting we not draft a great talent because he likes strip clubs? Not illegal nor against the rules. So since you don't like his hobby we should ignore his talent?

Just curious.... is there any irony in this post and to whom it was replied to?

I think it's funny as hell. I was trying to see how far down that rabbit hole he was willing to go. lol

Hats off to those setting the bar.

We want to change the culture; I suspect this is not what we were going for. I imagine a TC without this black eyed culture. Appalling! Thank God HBO gets a little extra treat.

I'm not a smoker, but with the on going legalization of weed, just let those dudes play ball...

Goodness..

Worry more about getting the women beaters out of the league.

Although I am not surprised by this.... I'm glad it has happened during camp. The team can address this issue without it being a big distraction. Its a shame that the timing of this is on the heal of trading Coleman and the promotion of this young player.

I will assume the Browns will sign another veteran receiver over the next few weeks.

#Browns Antonio Callaway just had his car shipped here from Florida and hadn't used it in awhile. Others had. Didn't realize there was marijuana in it, source says

If true he needs new friends.

i agree PitDawg with you...you cant expect a team of choirboys. its about talent....
but when talent walks through Berea they should live breathe sleep trying to win and master their position.
personally could care less what players do after hours.
but how many players have the Browns had come through Berea and really cared about being a pro and changing the culture in last 10 15 years?
Calloway is a talent with elite skills.....but how bad does he want be a good example for others and help change a losing culture

IF true he needs a Lobotomy. He knows his friends. And he knows the rules.. IDIOT

He should've had his 'friends' ship his drivers license also. Oh, wait, that was suspended.

Dude's not starting out on the right foot.

j/c:

Hue, in his press conference, said he was not aware of the situation and Calloway did not report the incident to the team.

If true, add this to the "stupid list".

Hope he’s clean...older article citing his family and background:

He didn't look stoned to me.

And 0-16 here we come.

j/c:

It's always something w/the Browns.

This may blow over for the reasons bonefish brought up. The bigger concern is how long until the next time?

Maybe.


At any rate, the police didn't know he had a suspended or trace amounts of marijuana in the car. What was the reason for the stop?

Holy crap, he didn't drop it!

How I see it...

From the initial description, it sounds like the cop found a roach under the seat. Could very easily have been left there by someone else long before this. Hell, could have been his own, but still from a long time ago.

There are zero reports of DUI/OVI, so there is nothing to suggest that he was using.

I would expect that the team and the league will have a "random" drug test with his name all over it by the end of the day, and I would think that if he is clean the courts will magically dismiss the minor possession charge and he will only face the suspended license charge, which with it being an out of state thing and the extra paperwork involved with that, I could see the judge just giving a fine and forcing him to get his Ohio license legal-like.


My first reaction to this is "screw it, hang the kid out to dry, release him as soon as we can".... the more tempered reaction after I think about it is that as stupid as ALL of it is, there is no actual evidence of any real & current wrong-doing; so, I give the benefit of the doubt until more facts come to light, but reserve the right to go back to my initial reaction.

FWIW (if indeed true)....

@JeremyinAkron
The worst part about this is, from a guy who has warned me about a few players and been right, is Callaway doesn’t care at all. He’s a fraud, wants to party and live it up not play football. I’ve also been warned there’s a group of 5 guys partying with him. Smh man.

I am going to w/hold judgement until I hear more facts.

I will say that it does suck, though. It's amazing how much bad news we get as Brown's fans.

Glad we traded away Coleman....

Goes to show that football guys make mistakes as well.

Here we go again! #BrownsFanForLife

Just clicking.

One positive: it was 3 am or whatever and he wasn't drunk.

We definitely know he is immature from this story. Hopefully it blows over. I seem to remember that Randy Moss had something similar happen to him? Although, I think he decided to bump into a rent a cop or something too.

Here is another camera angle.

I'm going to stop reading this thread right now, so I don't get others opinions involved.




The article stated what he was pulled over for: something about yielding the right of way.



I can promise you, he got pulled over for driving at 3 a.m.

No 'driving while black' issue here. Just, driving at 3 a.m. It happens all the time Cop can pull you over for any reason he/she wants. And, as sober as he seemed to be - when asked for a license, he couldn't produce 1, which led to more scrutiny.

Gee, thanks for such an enlightening and philosophical revelation. No one knew that.

Isn't it illegal to pull someone over just for driving at 3 A.M.? Honestly, from watching the video, his car looks like the type of car a cop would target.

Sometimes I wonder why NFL teams don't just keep 10 or so Uber drivers, or limo services on retainer, and supply their contact info to their players.

You didn't read my response, did you?

The fact of the matter is the Csllaway is a dumb jock. Just like Gordon. Why we keep acquiring these dummies is beyond me. They definitely do more harm to the team than they help.

I'm not sure, but I do think NFL players have an option to call for a driver.

I am sure they are dumb.

Yes sure reeeee...then we'll have drunks and more high as kite drivers on the road.....ain't we great. Making pot legal fixes everything.
Our wide receiver needs to be fined by the CLUB- on top of the NFL fine....hold him accountable at some level and get him help like JG got....he obviously needs it.....GO Browns!!!
