Weed and Football: America's Greatest Pastimes  

Yep. You read that right. Though this will be a short post (or will try to be anyway), the main topic is about an NFL player and weed, marijuana, whatever you want to call it. Apparently the Oakland Raiders' running back Justin Fargas let some rapper rap about weed at his house. In a music video. That Fargas had a guest appearance in.

According the rapper himself, Yukmouth (which, wtf kind of name is that?) attested that Fargas "doesn't get down," apparently meaning that the Raiders' running back doesn't use weed. I find that hard to believe that this NFL player doesn't use the product, yet he would let his house be the location of a weed-infested music video with a rapper who apparently only raps about this illegal product and how much he loves it. That's right, for those of you who don't actually know, being in possession of marijuana is illegal. So if I was Fargas, and I wasn't "down" with weed, I wouldn't let people stage an entire weed music video in my house. Or guest star in it either.

Maybe this is just what the Raiders need. Maybe Mary J will help the team win a few extra games. Probably not but whatever they are doing now isn't helping very much. Or maybe it's because Yukmouth is rapping about weed at Fargas' house that the Raiders aren't doing very well.

The best part about this whole story (which can be found here) is one of the comments that was made by a fellow reader. This is what he says:

"How come they picked Justin Fargas? Ricky Williams wasn't available?"

Priceless.
