Another University Of Florida Football Player In Trouble For Marijuana, Percy Harvin Don't Lie

University of Florida CB Janoris Jenkis recently plead guilty to a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge and became the lastest in a line of Florida players who have run into minor trouble with the law as a result of smoking pot in the past few years. Perhaps the most noteworthy case were the positive tests of Bristol, CT's own Aaron Hernandez who tested positive for multiple types of marijuana prior to the NFL Draft. However as usual there was minimal fallout and the TE went on to have a terrific rookie season with the New England Patriots.

This isn't a major story but I bring it up because anytime a Florida player gets in trouble for weed I harken back to some (in)famous comments made by Minnesota Vikings WR Percy Harvin prior to his rookie year while speaking to high school prospects in an effort to sell them on UF. I think the video has been mostly removed from the web but here is a transcript of Harvin's talk:

Student #1: "So, like, I know the football program at Florida is one of the best in the nation, but what's it like outside of football? Do they let you go off and have any fun?"

Harvin: "Oh, hell, man, Gainesville is a blast. Let me tell you something, brother, high as the football program is ridin' these days, people on campus know you play ball, you are the king. There ain't nothing you can't do down there: Go to bars, go clubbin' until four in the morning, and the girls -- good lord. They jump on you the minute you walk in the door, I mean, if you wake up in the morning and you got less than six girls in your bedroom, you weren't even trying, son."

Florida Coach: "Yes, well, there's time for socializing and everything, but the strongest bonds you make as a Gator are with your teammates, wouldn't you say, Percy?"

Harvin: "Oh, no doubt. Me and the guys, if we didn't go out we'd just sit up in someone's apartment, firing up jays and drinking and playing XBox -- man, have you ever played 2K9 on weed? It's hilarious! Me and Brandon Spikes were going up against each other one night, and he was acting the fool and --"

Student #2: "They let you smoke weed?"

Florida Coach: "Oh, no, no that's not a --"

Harvin: "Let me? Man, they can tell you not to do it, but when it comes right down to it, what are they gonna do, babysit us every second we ain't at practice? I mean, yeah, there was that one coach who barked at me because I was late to practice and showed up all bloodshot and everything, and I guess I kind of went off and choked him and whatnot, but it wasn't like anybody was gonna let that get out. Trust me, you keep bringing home those SEC trophies, they'll take care of you."
