re: NBC just said Josh Gordon could come back

An 8 game suspension just seems so arbitrary. Under the current policy it is a 16 game suspension. Under the new policy it would be a 0 game suspension. So they just splt the difference?
They are applying neither the new, nor the old policy to him. I don't see what the big deal is just applying the policy retroactive to 2013 players too. There cannot be that many players suspended who would not have been suspended under the new policy.
Not to mention they will get ripped PR wise for allowing Welker back full time after taking Mollie, but not letting Gordon back full time for second hand smoke.

A full season to 8 games
His situation is different than say Wes Welker, who failed and was suspended in the NFL's 2014 calendar year.
Gordon failed in the 2013 year.
I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but that's where they stand right now.

Wait until official reports, although Schefter is saying 8 games.
He'd be back for week 10 (bye in week4)
I figured he'd be back in week 9. I'd assume that the 1st game would count as time served??/

As the hour grows nigh (I hope) tensions are starting to swell.

Meh. This is welker's 1st offense.

His bye week (4), doesn't count as a game

Gordon is a multiple time offender though. Welker is a 1st time. I sure that factored into Gordon's sentence

I see. That's pretty damn stupid, IMO.

IMO the Rice situation is fricking Gordon over
The NFL doesn't want to allow a guy with multiple failed tests off free. So they are just going to give him 8 games so they don't get more backlash.
It just adds to the hypocrisy. They seem to be more worried about that than Aldon Smith, who has way more issues than Gordon yet only got 9 games. They just need to make up their might with all this arbitrary bullshite

If you admit this test was not a fail, then he has failed one test in the NFL for codeine due to cough syrup prescribed by a doctor for strep throat.

At least someone agrees with me

Does this make any sense to you at all?
Recently, 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith got a nine-game suspension. He was given that punishment because he had a DUI, weapons charges and made a bomb threat at the Los Angeles airport in separate incidents. And he got roughly the same suspension as Gordon, whose test wouldn't come close to a positive under the new policy.

Try finding anyone who thinks that not testing positive is worth two more games than a domestic violence first offense. It makes no sense, right? Not much the NFL is doing these days does make much sense, so it shouldn't surprise us too much.

And to be fair, he moved to stage 3 on his own choice to get his 4 game suspension reduced to 2. So he basically said he'd be extra good to get to play 2 games.
But it's still bullshite

I think most would agree that the nfl is pretty inconsistent in regards to discipline at the current time
