Percy Harvin & Brandon Tate like the weed

Remember those false reports a couple weeks back that a couple of USC LBs and DT BJ Raji had tested positive for steroids and marijuana, respectively?
Well, the real combine drug test results were released this week, and FoxSports.com is reporting that Wide Receivers Percy Harvin (Florida) and Brandon Tate (UNC) both tested positive for marijuana.
Harvin and Tate were the only high-profile players to flunk their combine drug tests, the sources said. Fewer than a dozen players tested positive for recreational drugs, one source said.
NFL teams received the drug-test results earlier this week. Players who failed are subject to entry into the NFL’s substance-abuse program.
Sports Illustrated’s Web site reported that Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji had flunked a combine drug test. Raji was not on the list of failed players, one source said, and SI.com has since retracted its story.
So basically, everyone in college smokes pot … athletes included. This shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone, and I doubt too many teams are going to be overly bothered by that. So did the president, so does Michael Phelps. It’s just not that big of a deal anymore.
The bigger issue is that these two geniuses were just too stupid to figure out to pass the drug test. Remember, Harvin just scored a 12 on his Wonderlic score, so put him down as the early favorite to fall the furthest in the draft this weekend.
And, this seems like as good a segue as any to post this Family Guy video from earlier this week, in honor of the unofficial stoner holiday, 4/20 (CAUTION: COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE HUMOR):
