“I’ve been enabled most of my life,” Gordon said. “I’ve been enabled by coaches, teachers, professors, everybody, pretty much, gave me a second chance because of my ability. Not too long after I got arrested for possession of marijuana at Baylor, one of my coaches came by saying, ‘You are going to get drug tested by the compliance office. This is how it’s going to work, this is what they are going to do. If they do call you in, here goes these bottles of detox.’ He showed me how to drink them, showed me how to take them. That was my first experience with getting over on the system and the authority not really being serious because it was being guided by someone who was employed by the university.”


Goddamn, Baylor has such a grimy athletic department. They make Louisville look like angels.

They do, but covering up weed doesn't make them grimy.

Covering up rape does.

I don't really care. This dude could have just not done drugs.

Instead its everyone else's fault for "enabling" him.

He got screwed by the NFL.

The no alcohol thing was horseshite.

But he's an idiot. I wonder if he's staying in shape?

This had been going on since he was in High school. He was brought into Lamer purely to play football. I know a lot of people that were in his grade at Lamer, all said that he was a freak but have no idea how Baylor qualified him.

I guess failing 3+ drug tests and being suspended for a season (the first time) wasn't enough for him to wake up.

Dude was given more than enough chances.

I said he was an idiot, but wasn't his last indefinite suspension for basically having a beer?

He was the best receiver in football high as a kite

Don't know why pot is a no no in the NFL

Granted you have to be retarded to keep smoking it at the cost of tens of millions of dollars

I feel more sorry for him for being retarded.

Tons of potheads in the nfl, these guys just know how to work the system. Gordon has screwed himself because he'll always get those extra random tests.

This is like that rich kid in hs who got sent to "rehab" for being busted w a dime bag.

He listed a laundry list of drugs he was on besides weed.

And that's the way a zero tolerance policy is supposed to work.

Zero tolerance for an adult to not have alcohol?

Zero tolerance policies are usually around ILLEGAL substances.

Yes he was an idiot for continuing to smoke, but who gives AF about weed. Let him back in. The NFL was a better league with him in it.

ETA: NFL needs to follow the example of the MLB and NBA. Don't test for recreational shite.

Me either. Out of sight, out of mind. It's such a big deal in the NFL because they test for it and leak the results. If they didn't test for it, the viewing audience wouldn't know and wouldn't care.

All they are doing is hurting their product by keeping players off the field.
