It reminds me of Dave Chappelle's interview w/David Letterman.
Right but my original point was, Tunsil got hammered because people freaked out over a relatively small issue (pot) and the fact that the Texans were completely willing to re-up him for All-Pro money indicates that it probably was, in fact, a relatively small issue. TBH what we got from the "no it was huge" argument was, frankly, circular arguments, that is, the gas mask bong was a big issue because the NFL was suspending people for pot use, therefore he was taking huge, suspension-worthy risks. My point then as now was, nah, the kid was smoking a lot of pot one night and recorded himself.
