ummm he has failed what 5 drug test and had a dui


3 drug tests with the third being below the threshold

his dui was a .09

he obviously exercises poor judgment, but so did Roethlisberger, ray rice, and on and on and on...

josh Gordon is responsible for the situation he's found himself in...quite separately, The NFL has a fricked up moral hierarchy and inconsistent processes for punishing players

Didn't Gordon also get arrested for DUI this offseason or am I dreaming this up? Maybe it was someone else...



yes

Dude is an idiot, that's obvious.

I just don't understand the hypocrisy. If the NFL wants to handle business like that, I'm cool with it. Just take the same approach across the board.

Meanwhile, Rice, Prater, Irsay all get off with a slap on the wrist.

The other huge problem I have is why it took almost a month to come to a decision.

He's trolling harder than LBJ NBA threads. Not sure why everyone is giving him the time of day

He probably thinks a "high up" job is manager at the local Waffle House.

people just can't separate it like that for some reason

it's either josh Gordon is an idiot OR the NFL has some wildly inconsistent procedures in place that are not fair and display a fricked up moral hierarchy...

replace the OR with AND, and you have the reasonable viewpoint

My point is .... why should Irsay still be allowed to run an NFL franchise when he's snorting coke?

Gordon is responsible for his own actions, but be consistent with your ruling and interpretations

one failed test.. sure people make mistakes. But you are working for millions of dollars to play a game. You keep screwing up over and over, i really dont care if they ban him for life. Its about taking responsibility and not breaking the rules. He is a pos, and i dnt care if he never olays again. There are too many others out there going by the rules an trying to do their best to be worried about an idiot who obviously doesnt care about his team or fans.

I didnt draft him in any league. Im a Ravens fan so certainly not a Browns fan. Im also an adult so I dont use the word "butthurt" like an adolescent. I can give two fricks about fantasy status, how much of an idiot Gordon is (he is) or any of that bullshite. Im looking at the bigger picture (as most of us are), and calling out the NFL and all of its hypocritcial bullshite. Go ahead and at some immature "gotcha" scenario you think you have, but the jokes on you.

how about

b. We think violence is worse than anything...worse than substance "abuse" or racially insensitive language...therefore I have a really low opinion of the NFL and NBA right now.

Exactly. People think the Gordon supporters are defending his actions. They're not.

They just have issues with the way everything is/was handled and how it relates to others fricking up

Thug POS? lol

The dude likes smoking weed and made a mistake by driving drunk. Idiot? Sure. Thug? No.

You truly don't know what a thug is if you think Gordon qualifies.

1st im not trolling, im dead serious

and 2nd is thats irsay's first offense? If so he will get 2 games like gordon did JUST LAST YEAR. If you keep screwing up your suspensions get longer. I dont see where the issue is.

I kind of am. The NFL shouldnt be testing and punishing its employees for recreational drugs.

your schtick is getting old and it's cluttering up this thread.

I RA'd so I suggest you slow your role unless you want a time out.

Thanks
