"I think it's only a matter of time before the NBA, the NFL and Major League Baseball realise that...especially for these NFL guys who are basically involved in a car wreck every Sunday, and maybe four days later the following Thursday, which is another insane thing that the NFL does.
"But I would hope that league would come to its senses...I'm not the expert on this, but I do know this...if you're an NFL player and you've got a lot of pain, I don't think there's any question that pot is better for your body than Vicodin."
