Fargas next to take a hit?

Raiders running back Justin Fargas made a cameo appearance in an online video clip that's promoting a marijuana-smoking contest, but it is unclear if he'll face any disciplinary action from the team or league.


The profanity-filled video, first reported by profootballtalk.com Thursday, features Oakland rapper Yukmouth, who briefly visits what he says is Fargas' house carrying what appears to be a large, unlit joint and plastic bag of marijuana.

Fargas, who has his own rap career under the name "Young Hugg," was not seen smoking or holding any drug paraphernalia in his brief appearance. He addressed the rapper for a few seconds before the video shot moved to a different site.

A team spokesman declined comment, though he pointed out the house in question did not belong to Fargas. The league office does not discuss or confirm investigations of potential player misconduct.

The video was removed from the Internet Web site by the end of Thursday.

A 1,000-yard rusher in 2007, Fargas has two years remaining on his contract. He is due $2.5 million plus a $1 million roster bonus next season with a salary cap charge of $5.298 million.

Fargas rushed for 853 yards last season and was named co-winner of the team's Commitment to Excellence award. The award is voted on by teammates and goes to the player who "best exemplifies the pride, poise and spirit of the Oakland Raiders ," according to the team Web site.

Fargas could not be reached for comment.
