My biggest concern with Blackmon would be whether he'd ever reach the point where he could be out without supervision in the early hours of the morning and not be drinking or self-medicating. The one thing we've actually learned from this story is that he can.

True, that's a good way of looking at it.

No, I think his history is the very reason some of us don't. There's just not enough time between incidents to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Understandable but w/o truly knowing why he was suspended the second time is reasoning enough for me to give him the benefit of the doubt. He simply could've been late (no show) for a drug test which is the same as failing a drug test...

I was out at 3:00 am last night I suppose many on this board would assume I was partying. NOT! I worked until 12:00 and went to Walmart to pick up some things then had to put a new serpentine belt on my wife's car which broke in Publix parking lot.

 

There are a thousand reasons for Blackmon to be out at that time as many posting in this thread have indicated. Those assuming he was partying or about to party have little knowledge of life outside of their own to come to that conclusion even though it's absolutely an assumption.

maybe blackmon has a sleeping disorder or mental illness and has spent years drinking it away?  now that he has stopped (cross fingers) he is finding other outlets?

my money has always been on a no show bc he know he'd blow the alcohol or another short lived drug test.

I shop at Kroger around 3 am.

Has anyone suggested he may have a local girl friend?

No one is safe.

It doesn't seem to matter. At three am he was up to no good according to some on here.

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

Three in the morning.
Making yourself a cup of coffee in the dark, using a flashlight when you pour the boiling water.
Morning's recorded dream, fading: through other eyes, dark plume of a Cuban freighter - fading with the horizon
it navigates across the mind's gray screen.
Three in the morning.
Let yesterday arrange itself around you in flat schematic images. What you said - what she said - watching her
pack - dialing the cab. However you shuffle them they form the same printed circuit: you, standing in the rain,
screaming at the cabby.

If he does I'm pretty sure his CURRENT girlfriend wouldn't approve.
