Josh Gordon's 1 Year Suspension Upheld

Suprised to hear this with as long as it was taking. I (along with just about every fantast football "expert") assumed it would have been reduced.

 

I hope LeVeon Bell is paying attention see what happens when you become a pothead, you screw up your career.

 

I also hope he is paying attention on how not to approach the appeals process. The idiot says he wishes the league would have exercised better judgement in handling his case. The league needs to exercise better judgement not him. Now that is rich.

 

Exactly.
Even if he is being truthful and it was second hand smoke, it shows a horrific lack of judgement placing yourself around second hand smoke. If I'm him and I know Im on my last chance, I'm avoiding ALL contact with the stuff, second hand or otherwise.

 

Well at least he can still maybe be president someday. LOL.

 

Sounds like you've been watching Dazed and Confused. HA!

 

LOL. Yeah. Hemp... HA! I was referring to a scene in that movie where this stoned teenager does a whole monologue about how George Washington smoked it so much that he grew it as a cash crop for the south and he said that every night when he would get home Martha Washington would have a bowl waiting for him. It's a really funny scene in the movie.

 

I cant see Gordon keeping clean for the next year away from football. If he gets caught again in that time frame, will that effect his football status or will the NFL consider it a non issue since he is suspended?

 

I read a headline earlier that said he can't do that.

 

Yeah, something about it being in his contract saying he couldn't play north of the border. I can't imagine the Browns would let him do that either, unless they just outright cut him.

 

If I were him I would be jumping at the chance to play for a CFL team just to say I once played for a team that's NOT a total laughing stock.

 

Actually, the CFL put a rule in place, saying they would not let a player that is under contract with an NFL team, play in their league.
It was after an NFL player played there, under suspension, from the league a few years ago.
I want to say Ricky Williams, but I don`t think that was the player...
At any rate, it`s a shame, that it took this case to make Goodell, issue a statement saying they screwed up, on Ray Rice`s 2 game suspension, and they will NOW crack down on domestic violence/beating on women cases, in the future!!!
Otherwise, they could be percieved as "soft"/"lenient"...
And players would be better off to beat their wives/gf`s, than smoke a joint...
Really, Rodge???!!
Ya couldn`t figure that out in the first place???!!!:goodell:

 

took the words right out of my mouth

 

He'll get 6 games plus 3 more that Ray Rice should have had for a total of 9.
