This is pure hersay, of course, so take it for what it’s worth…

I was talking to a friend of mine that works for a Valley furniture store. He told me a few weeks ago that Tyrann Mathieu, and his girlfriend Sydni Russell, came in to buy some furntiure. He didn't help them in-store, but he did work it out so he would be able to be on the team that delivered and setup the order.

Yesterday, he told me what went down when they showed up at the Honey Badger's humble abode.

When they arrived, he was met at the door by someone who was not Tyrann, nor was it Sydni. He said that once the door opened that "it was something out of a Cheech and Chong movie" as the home was full of smoke that had the unmistakable smell of weed (marijuana for you squares!) He also added that, from what he could see from the front door, the interior of the home had been the site of an extended party (beer bottles and cans, trash all over, etc.)

He explained to the fellow that answered the door that the furniture required some setup, and that they’d be happy to bring it in and assemble it. The mystery man at the door “got very apprehensive”, closed the door, then came back and told them to just leave it on the front lawn.

The moral of the story?

Don’t be surprised if Mathieu comes up dirty on a drug test sooner, rather than later.

Was a hot tub involved?

I can neither confirm, nor deny, what kind of furniture was delivered. Nor will I devulge which store it was from.

But I know the answer. ;)

I'm leaving a lot of details out. I just wanted to capture the jist of the event.

Was HB even home? Homey having a party when he was out?

He didn't see him. They only indivdual he physically saw was the guy at the door, who signed for delivery. There was the noise of others in the house, but he didn't see anyone else.

Highly questionable. Mulli Prediction: HB won't come up dirty. Ever.

Could it have been for some of his friends and not the couple? Confirmed that it was HIS house that they live in 24/7? :shrug:

What kind of furniture? My guess - futons and bean bags/love sacks. :D

meh, a lot of people smoke pot. you can stop but to not hang out with anyone who smokes pot would be a difficult task. Several players on the team smoke, dweed just didnt care enough to conceal it properly.

I hope so!

Best case scenario: Honey Badger needs new friends, or needs to be more selective in whom he tabs as a housesitter.

Indeed.

I'm not passing judgment upon anyone who partakes of The Herb. I was a very regular user myself, until a little over 20 years ago when I quit altogether.

My only intention here is to help my fellow ASFN'ers avoid the shock and surprise that we went through with DWash.

Both his name, and his girlfriend's, were on the purchase order according to my friend. That's how he was able to finagle his way into the route for the appropriate delivery team.

Tyrann has been up here in the Pacific NW and California for awhile(at least two weeks) now doing work for EAG. Before that, he was at the Rookie Symposium. Why do I think he let some friends crash at his place while he is out of town? Or better yet, your friend was the one doing the deed and actaully showed up at Tyson Nash's home.

This from a guy a still believes that Clifford Robinson was innocent because the weed in his car was on the other side of the passenger seat? :p

Oh, and the timeframe involved here is 6, almost 7, weeks ago. So it's very possible that Tyrann shopped, and then left town for other engagements.

Wait...if Mathieu does get busted again, this story or not, is anyone going to really be all that surprised? Addiction, the kind of addiction that gets a Heisman Trophy candidate kicked out of a football power is something pretty damn serious and likely very difficult to overcome for a sustained period of time.

Nope...unless you're Mulli.

I don't know how you stay off the stuff if you're constantly around it. If he's still hanging with friends that routinely smoke in front of him, it won't be long before he joins them if he hasn't already. I don't care if it's pot, heroin, cigarettes, alcohol, chocolate or whatever. It's what we do. Maybe you can find an exception but that's all it will be. One huge exception. Keep in mind I'm mostly talking about people that have already had a major problem with a substance.

I'll remain hopeful because we still don't know what exactly happened here. Maybe it was just house sitting friends thinking they could wipe away the party evidence long before HB returned.

HB refers to the kid as Junior on the Twitts.

I am not saying this is relevant in whether or not HB will be caught riding dirty or whatever.

Is everything

Well, it depends on how much time expired between the purchase and the delivery. If it was it same day or next day delivery it's fair to say the Badger was likely still in town during the alleged party and you have to assume he was probably at his house.
