he apparently has an actual reason for wanting his old one

quote:

Brown wants be allowed to wear the helmet he prefers, not one of the helmets that league rules mandate, league sources said. Brown believes the certified helmet that rules mandate he wears protrudes out and interferes with his vision as he tries to catch the football.

The Raiders have been sending Brown other approved helmets to wear but, at this time, he is not interested in wearing any of them.

I think that's the relevant document. they test 2 samples. zero tolerance just means that it meets the limits of detection for the analytical equipment which looks like it could be anywhere from .1 to 2 ng/l, although presumably if they popped him then it's above that threshold.


edit: not to say that as that threshold of detection goes down there's more and more of a discussion to be had about how many nanograms of weed or steroids go into your blood, urine, or hair from just walking around and inhaling the air around you.

yep, basically zero tolerance. maybe even below zero

it's a poo poo reason and an excuse. I doubt he's even tried all the new ones and besides, those are the loving rules. Dude's just checking out and is high on the smell of his own poo poo

Idk I enjoyed it and as I said in the Hard Knocks thread it was just the “first day of school” episode where they introduce everyone. I fully expect the crazy to ramp up.

If Brown totally stays away from the facility that limits the upside but we should still get some insane Gruden rants about him.

The Browns one captured a ton of interesting stuff between the coaches and they had like 1/4 the amount of insanity going on as the Raiders do.

Didn't a player just come out and say that Ben looks totally different than he did last year? Implying that he was part of the problem?

Back in like 2013 the NFL started adding a bunch of restrictions to which helmets were allowed and have added more to the banned list since. However, this came with grandfathering in for most, which is mostly notable because Brady was still wearing one of the banned ones up through last year and until a few years ago there was that kicker still wearing a single bar mask on his dinky helmet. This was the last year of grandfathering, so now players have to switch. Most did with some grumbling in the previous like 5 years, but since Brown is drama central, it's now a big earth shattering deal.

As a TFF newcomer it seems like most of the crazy posters have moved on, for better or worse. It’s still the goddam funniest sports discussion I have ever seen in my life and very smart. There’s just not anyone who stands out as a totally batshit insane homer here anymore. Maybe that will ramp back up with the regular season.

But everyone here is like a 2/10 compared to Reddit or dedicated team forums or whatever. Or the posts you all link from 5-10 years ago, such as the joke I stole that became the thread title just now lol.
