*RUMOR* why is Park taking a leave of absence?

[Brandon]

So, did the original post by Brandon get deleted? He seemed very confident it was a piss test failure, but if that were the case, it would've been a violation of team rules, not what we've got going on now.

I didn't delete it.
He failed a piss test

violation of team rules

Have heard Park failed his 2nd drug test and was going to be suspended multiple games so he essentially quit the team. The staff knows they need him for the rest of this season and, more importantly, 2018 so that’s why they’ve spun this as a “leave of absence” while they try to work this out with him

If this is true, does the team/staff want him back?

I realize this is mega honeymoon phase with Kempt, but a lot of the interviews and comments I've seen of him are about loyalty, hard work, etc.

Qualities a guy quiting the team because he couldn't follow known rules might not have.

It's d1 football, they'll take Joseph Stalin if he can throw for 400.

I have to think Park's leverage dropped a bit after yesterday.

If these rumors are true and that is a big if. When a player messes up 3 times and its all on him and he cannot accept the punishment, for his actions, there is a problem with given player. Its not even like he messed up 3 times in a game. He messed up 3 times off the field and was warned about it. At some point the player has to stand up and take responsibility. At some point he is a bad example for the rest of the team.

I believe this is not true.

Stalin was more of a run-first quarterback and would never get that kind of pass yardage.

I've heard from a solid source it was second drug test failure.

CMC knew the risk with Park and rolled the dice with him. Park has had issues in the past and seems like they might still be haunting him today. I hope whatever the issue is, he gets help so he can be a great dad to his little girl.

Weed should be removed from the criteria.

Whether it is Kempt or Zeb, I trust they will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, Park, Lanning, Richardson, Jantz, Barnett, Tiller, etc. in looking like Tom ******* Brady in their debut, only to gradually regress to the point of being replaced by the next great Iowa State QB.

By the way, I kinda called it.

I hope you only called the first part.

I bet Stalin could throw a football over those mountains.

That may be, but until it is removed I would prefer our starting QB and captain prioritize football over getting high. Doesn't seem like too much to ask.

Unless this is self medicating to handle the pain of playing football for free....for our entertainment?

 

[cyclonespiker33]

I haven't followed this thread since it went off the rails, just wondering if we've made fun of the idiots that were questioning the coaches?

Well, duh. Obviously Kyle Kempt now is, and will continue to be, Tom ******* Brady.

They aren't playing for free

 

[jbhtexas]

They aren't playing for free

And apparently have enough money to buy weed. I guess we need to pay them so they can hire people to take their pee tests for them.
