Again, stupid? Yes. Worth losing a large amount of money over? No.

If HE posted it on social media, I'd absolutely agree with you. We ALL have dumb videos of shite we did.

He's definitely a victim. How anyone can think otherwise when someone was clearly trying to frick with his life is beyond me.

It's still illegal. Exceptions to the law can't be made just because he's stupid.

I felt horrible for Tunsil, desperately wanted the Titans to draft him, and mocked Ole Miss heavily.

It's that he was dumb enough to film himself doing something illegal



Millions/billions of pictures out there of kids drinking underage in college. No one really bats an eye about it.

Is he under arrest?

One video of him smoking weed from who knows when, and he deserved all this? It's dumb. If he wasn't attacked, then none of this would have come to light. It's not like HE put it out there himself. We've all recorded ourselves doing dumb shite. Nobody is perfect, especially athletes who are held to a much higher standard with added pressures.

I wish the best for Tunsil. Poor guy getting all this shite over a little bit of weed.

Let's not pretend he was ever a normal 18 year old.

For YEARS before that video was shot Tunsil was repeatedly told he would make millions one day if he could stay healthy and keep his head on straight. I emphasize, again, that he knew this for years before that video was shot.

Yet he's somehow a victim because a recording he knowingly allowed was ultimately leaked. Please. What a joke.

Victim? Nah. They didn't lock him in a room and pump it full of THC. He put on the gas mask. No one told him to go asking for money for his mom. At 18 years old he's a grown arse man. Don't give me this "kid" bullshite either. The happenings of the past few days are directly, specifically, related to decisions he chose to make. That's the problem with you fricking "kids" nowadays. You always want to blame someone else for your pisspoor decisions.

Your post just proves my point. The amount of pressure put on these kids is the real joke. Why the frick couldn't he be a normal 18 year old kid? He had to be perfect?

Let's not pretend smoking weed is akin to doing crack, domestic abuse, or armed robbery. You're a joke.

Those kids aren't being scrutinized by the NFL.

Thankfully for tunsil the Dolphins didn't seem to care if there was a video or not. They realize like most people that it's only a matter of time before weed is legal.

I love it when a player from a school is caught underage drinking the excuse is "he's a college kid! just doing college things"

But god forbid it's weed that's involved it turns into "what a dumbass, that's ILLEGAL!"

My post does nothing but prove that you're either a hopeless millennial or enabler of them.

Lol at boo-hooing the "pressure" these poor kids feel. Why can't they just be normal? Why can't they just live their lives?

Think about your questions some more then come back and share what you've learned.

Yes, he is a victim of his own stupidity.

You would have a point that you can make up text messages, but he already slipped with the "I would have to say yes". He went in the first round and will make good money. He will make up the rest on his second contract if he doesn't frick up too much.

Hell they said as much too. They were aware of the video. Tunsil and his agent got out in front of it and informed potential teams. Problem wasn't the video, it was obviously the timing of its release. That in itself is why he's a victim.

If a multi-million dollar investment can be damaged by one bong rip, then something is wrong.

The stigma put on marijuana is a travesty. It's a plant. You have douchebags like Chris Christie saying he should have been arrested at the draft.

I would much rather draft a guy that has one recording of himself smoking weed than say a player who gets arrested for underage drinking out in public.

Tunsil is a victim of being a college kid, staying indoors and smoking a plant. Nobody was in danger. Nobody got hurt. What a stupid thug he is!
