  • I would like to see Jim held to a higher standard though. He's going to get fined 100,000 grand then nothing. If the NBA proved anything, be tough on your owners when they deserve it. Owners are just as public of figures as the players and this isn't Jims first time in hot water. Wouldn't he be in level 2 by now himself? I say bann him from his own building and any games for 4 weeks and fine him. But when you fine him, figure out his yearly profit from owning the team, and take a quarter of it. Put that money into educating the players on how to not fuck up.

  • I call bullshit on it being a simple mistake that he smoked weed. Gordon knew he was on thin ice, and was fully aware that smoking it even one time might get him suspended for a year. Stupid. And if for some reason it somehow miraculously slipped his mind when the joint was passed? Stupid. But really that's BS. Not only are you making millions, but being suspended for one year is a long time when talking in the context of a player's NFL career.

    It might be a stupid NFL rule, and he obviously thinks it's a stupid rule, but he chose a very poor way to protest that belief, IMO. Didn't do a damn thing except hurt himself, his team and his fans.

  • I wonder if the test showed a slight reference to dope, which he could get

    by being at a party where other idiots smoked it?

    Or not. Is there a difference between being a guest for dinner, say, at a friend's

    house where it was smoked, that level, and actually smoking it yourself?

    Or more like "pass/fail" regardless of degree of exposure?

    I'm pretty sure it will just show up as a pass/fail.

    I'm not sure about that. Unless the NFL has some sort of high-tech testing to pick up traces, if there is even such a thing? I've been around people's second hand smoke and worked at a job for more than 5 years that regularly did piss and hair testing on all its employees. Nothing ever came up.

  • Actually they probably smelled it before they picked up Hawkins.

    Also Watkins is a pothead too.

    Plus there are at least two or three excellent receivers coming up this round.

    I would truly venture that over 50% of the league smokes pot.

    So in your opinion only the Cleveland Browns (and maybe 15 other teams) are tested....

    And just for you guys who are crying because you think weed is cool, fine. I don't doubt that most people can do whatever the hell they do at least okay while smoking weed. But it still against the law. I figure a lot of guys can drive a vehicle reasonably well when they're drunk. So if my surgeon gets a DUI then blows of an operation because he's in the drunk tank is it cool?

  • Just because he tested positive for marijuana doesnt mean he was walking around high all the time. One toke is in the system for three months. My bet is he was blindsided by the test because you can easily clean up the pee if you have the time.

  • You have to remember that Josh was in Hawaii and all that. Probably a Probowl celebration bowl and then got popped.

  • NFL rules say that marijuana is illegal. Do it and pay the price. Do it enough and get kicked out of their league. Period. End of story. End of discussion. He knew the ramifications (unless he was stoned when he was told about them).

  • Some of you guys sound like the guys that your woman cheats on you and you say okay it happened only once. Then It happens again and you let it slide. Then you come home and she is having an orgy and you are okay with it. Get out of here.

  • And some of YOU GUYS make it seem like he been taking performance enhancing drugs and paying players to hurt other players intentionally. You get the fuck out of here. What the guy does on his own time and his own dime during the off-season should be nobodies business. Get off Josh's dick and let the fucking kid play the game that he was born to play, weed or no weed. This is 2014, time to grow the fuck up you control freaks.

    Go ahead and take a trip to New York and the league office and try to sell that shit to the league and see how far you get.

    The league has rules (whether their right or wrong rules) and he knew the rules and if he broke them, he deserves the punishment that comes with it.

    PoeticG come on man there are rules in life like it or not. Getting caught doing shit that is against the rules results in penaly, its the reality to deal with. What he does during the off season on his own time DOES matter and it is the leagues business. Why? Because the players union and the group of players elected to represent them agreed it is. They have agreed to the rules and its the contingency of getting paid those fat checks. He needs to grow up , take responsiblity or get the fuck out.

  • Bottom line. he fucked up. should be more responsible like all the professional athletes in the world in all sports. He can smoke his pot but dude come one. Don't give me. it was prescription shit.

    No one person can be this dense on accident, so I am now positive you are nothing more than an attention seeking troll. For the last time, and this time I'll type S L O W L Y so I don't lose you:

    Your newest butt buddy broke a rule, irregardless of WHAT THE FUCK THAT RULE IS, and in doing so, if found guilty, is subject to a year long suspension. He was fully aware of these consequences when he knowingly and willingly broke the rule.

    I don't know how to speak in phonics, but even if I did, I doubt you have the intelligence to understand the above information regardless of how I spell it out for you........... I know, maybe I'll try hand puppets next time. Fucktard.

    You were actually speaking phonics. Phonics is just the different sounds of letters when grouped together to create different words. Teachered bitches.

    If I ever become a teacher I'm ending every class with that line.

    I will also be looking for a new profession the next day but it would be so worth it.

    Smart ass 😉

  • First off, I think it is ridiculous that any athlete can be suspended for smoking weed.

    HOWEVER,

    When you sign an NFL contract, you are effectively checking the box that says "I hereby accept the terms and

    conditions of the NFL...etc., etc., etc." One of the terms and conditions is that you don't get to smoke weed or whatever

    else the NFL says you are not allowed to do. Period. End of story. Develop a serious drinking habit, get high on life,

    inhale nitrous, whatever. But if it shows up in a piss test, find another way to alter your reality.

    Bottom line, dude needs to pull his head out of his ass and grow up. Need incentive? Look at Joe Haden's new contract.
