Floyd in talks with Vikings

[Cardsmasochist]

He has the resources to get help, and by all accounts chooses not to.

Speaking from experience, addicts don't get help until they are ready to. Obviously Michael is still in denial about his problem and thought he could handle it without help. I'm sure the potential money he could make had something to do with him trying to deal with this alone. It's hard to ask for help, especially world class athletes who have a lot of pride and view this as a weakness. When millions are on the line, you want to ignore the problems and try to fix yourself.

I can understand that, but when it's literally drink and go to jail, and you can't help yourself from drinking, you'd think one would be ready to admit they need help.

Yep. That's what makes them addicts. When it effects your job, your relationships, and your health, etc. It takes over everything.

Addicts are great at lying to themselves and others.

Why do they have to lie??

 

[MigratingOsprey]

You mean it is not realistic to drink a substance with .5 ABV or less and still have it register in your system at a .05 over 2 1/2 hours later?

Unless his multiple bottles were gallon sized and even then .........

From an article posted on CNN. Looks like Floyd really likes the taste of vinegar of he's full of you know what.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/12/09/health/kombucha-tea-alcohol-content/


The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau recently sent letters to kombucha producers, including Rothbauer, saying some samples tested above the .5% alcohol-by-volume threshold for nonalcoholic beverages. That's about one-eighth the alcohol content of a light beer.
Rothbauer admits alcohol can be a result of the fermentation process when the tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast combine. While they test every batch of kombucha that's bottled and boxed at High Country Kombucha before shipping, he said the alcohol content can increase if the beverage isn't refrigerated.
But could someone get drunk off kombucha?
"No, no," Rothbauer said, laughing. "I don't know if you've tasted kombucha, but it's not something that you drink bottle after bottle. You know, this is something that's fermented. It would be like trying to drink vinegar bottle after bottle. And you would have to drink eight bottles (of kombucha) just to get the buzz of one beer."

Here's a story from Vice a few years ago where the author tried to get drunk drinking a lot of kombucha tea.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/i-tried-to-get-drunk-on-kombucha-511

He drank enough to get really sick but just managed a .01 on the breathalyzer.

His lawyers explanation is so obviously wrong scientifically that it makes me dislike Floyd more.

Floyd is/was that a-hole drunk jock that you hated in high school. He's a prima donna POS. F that guy.

You know it's a lie when it has this much detail

obviously he doesn't have a problem...people are still willing to pay him stacks of cash to play football

when he has to sit outside stop&stab liquor trying to sell felatio for a bottle of Night Train....THEN he has a problem

I don't know why but this post made me smile. Sounds like you have met him Krang? Those are exactly the types I hated in high school & one of the reasons I didn't like high school sports. I stuck with wrestling. There weren't any of those types on the wrestling team. They stuck with football & basketball.

No I haven't; one poster on this board claimed to have met him in a bar and he bought Floyd a drink and Floyd was a real a hole.

My brother is friends with someone who is real close to an SEC football program and his friend says that the vast majority of football players are a holes.

I remember that. It was right after we drafted him I believe.

because they're pieces of human crap.

That guy is going to kill someone on the road one day.

He needs to get some damn help.

4 games is a little different than 4 months.

I think it's a minimum sentence type situation in the NFL

Still shocked AZ courts let him off so easy twice. 1st for an extreme DUI, and then a failed test during probation.

Said it before...I need to hurry up and get famous so I can be above the law.



Remember when Caitlyn Jenner killed a guy? Crashed into him. Apparently society and the law forgot too.
