I guess this means he can't race Ocho Cinco

--- Last season he was more like "zero-zero".... 4 TD's in 16 games. ... the same number of games that his team won. He had more than 60 yards ONE time. Whoopie.!!

It's an illegal substance and I think they're right in suspending him. You know, consequences for being caught and all.

What about our last three presidents? There isn't crazy overblown coverage on that?

***hopes this turns political**** haha

There will always be folks who want to "excuse" illegal behavior or do the "well other people have done it too" dance as if that was some sort of legit "excuse". Grow up people...there are consequences for your actions. Phelps got caught. So, take what comes with that and move on. Stop making excuses for him. You may recall that this is the "second time" he has "asked" for people to forgive his "youthful" mistakes...Phelps is a great swimmer. He has made a couple of "mistakes" through his own stupid decisions, and he has and is paying the price. So be it. I would have thought this guy was a bit too smart to make this type of mistake TWICE. But, I guess not.

Stop trying to justify illegal behavior. If you don't agree with the drug laws, work to get them changed. As long as this stuff is illegal, don't touch it. If you do, and you get caught, pay the price! Good Grief.

Please remember this statement the next time a professional Soccer player gets arrested for drug possession.

If this fallout were from an arrest I would understand. The fact that it stems from no more than a photograph troubles and confuses me.

Professional soccer players are no more exempt from my disdain for the use of illegal drugs or illegal activities than anyone else. To suggest otherwise is just plain nuts!

      Big dumb question.

      Contracts could be for one+ year(s). Employee status would bring tax questions into play. FICA and income taxes would be due .

      Do we still only play 7-8? 😝 This is what I have. This was tough. We’ve had some pretty great players. Lorient is more potential that straight up production. Starters: Javion Hamlet Rubin Jones Aaron Scott Thomas Bell Zach Simmons Reserves: Ryan Woolridge Tylor Perry James Reese Brennon Lorient Abou Ousmane Too good to leave off: Deng Geu Kai Huntsberry Moulaye Sissoko Jason Edwards

      Big dumb question.

      Why put players under contract when in the current form, you can just dispose of those who aren't performing every season? Scholarships are currently renewed on a yearly basis. Putting players under contract would mean you'd be looking at deals worth 2+ years. What happens when a guy just isn't working out but you're on the hook for another year so the scholarship can't be used for somebody else? I know you could say with "NIL," you could just give enough to cover tuition and some extra but I doubt the boosters would want to pay that much for an unknown player just because a scholarship is used up on another bad player. Reality is, coaches hate when players leave after a great season but those same coaches are quick to push guys into the portal if they're not working out. I'd be all for contracts at our level, though. Contracts mean you can include buyouts so if you really hit on a prospect, I'd love for UNT and our NIL to get some money back for developing a good player.

      If you were given ten picks to build a roster (so, a starting five and five off the bench) made up exclusively of players from the McCasland/Hodge era…who ya got?
