Le'Veon Bell spent his 4/20 getting a 'random' drug test

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell missed the first two games of the 2015 season under suspension for a marijuana arrest, so perhaps it should come as no surprise that the NFL came knocking at his door this morning.

After all, it's April 20, or 4/20, the day potheads around the globe have claimed as their special holiday.

In a subsequent tweet, Bell said he believes "they" (ostensibly the NFL) want him off the field, so he understands why he might be targeted for a test on this day.

Whether it's the NFL trying to catch him in the act or merely a coincidental quirk of truly random testing, it sounds like Bell is confident his test will come back clean and he won't miss another game.
