Another day, another talented but troubled wide receiver going to Canada.
Former Oklahoma State wide receiver Adarius Bowman is the latest to head north of the border, having signed a rookie contract with the Canadian Football League’s Saskatchewan Roughriders.
Bowman was once thought of as a potential first-day NFL draft pick, but he went undrafted after he turned in a bad performance at the scouting combine and then was arrested for possession of marijuana a few weeks before the draft.
That was the second marijuana-related incident for Bowman. He transferred to Oklahoma State after North Carolina kicked him off the team following a marijuana possession charge. He was an All-Big 12 player at Oklahoma State and finished fourth in school history with 127 receptions and 2,187 yards.
Canada is becoming a popular place for draft bust wide receivers, although ex-Lion Charles Rogers has apparently decided it’s too crowded for him.

I’m not a fan of hard drugs but it’s amazing that people still care about other people smoking weed, the gateway drug to junk food and sitting around not bothering anyone.
If Leonard Little had smoked weed instead of drinking alcohol, that lady he killed would still be alive. However, bags of potato chips and cookies would have surely felt his wrath.

That’s the problem with the current stupidity in the U.S. (and now here in Canada with the Stephen Harper minority government) and the silly War On Drugs mentality.
Alcohol ruins more lives than any drug known to man, yet a relatively benign herb is demonized to the point of the NFL running athletes out of the league.
I’m proud that the CFL hasn’t (yet) followed suit with such nonsense.
And speaking of the league that invented football and brought us the proper three-down variety, let us salute the great Damon Allen (brother of some guy named Marcus who ran amid the clouds of dust in Oakland and KC), who retired this week after 23 glorious years in the Canadian Football League.
Damon retires as the leading passer in pro football history anywhere on Earth (in excess of 70,000 yards).
And he joins Lui Passaglia, the former BC Lions’ kicker and punter who remains the leading scorer in pro football history anywhere on Earth.
By the way, 28 sleeps from tonight until the regular season begins.
Get your TSN feed, gentlemen, and discover how exciting the pigskin game can be when played as God intended.

Bowman heading to Canada? I don’t suppose Adarius is any relation to Scotty.
