    Maybe there is no appeal schedule because the whole situation was bullshit from the beginning from an unreliable source. I know it's wishful thinking but could it be?

  • I think it is reliable that he failed another drug test. But the circumstances might be at question, because the NFL sure is treading slowly.

    Well, as noted elsewhere, they still have not ruled on the Jim Irsay issue, or the Ray Rice issue. So they are apparently taking their good old time on all of these things. Maybe they have chosen to let all this sit in the offseason, and they swing the hammer just before either training camp, or until just before the regular season starts. Note: the first real game is just a little over two months away you know?

    And someone talked about Haslam and his gas.....there has been no word on what the Feds are doing about Jeemy. And it has been like a year and a half. So, maybe the NFL is following the Feds lead on going slow.

  • Well, maybe you don't give up on him but you sure as hell can't count on him.

    Make his next contract incentive-laden with 'pay for play' clauses, and then simply

    assume he won't be available and plan accordingly.

    I know the kid is a great talent, but I'll be DAMNED if I pay to babysit an effin' adult! It's time for Joshy boy to be a man, IF he has the balls. If not, kick him to the curb & let a good man take his place. There is no place for boys on the Browns roster. Just my opinion.

  • hey mike i'm with ya. i just was thinking it might be the smart thing to do. heck, i know a couple of people that would take that job for pennies on the dollar. 😎

  • miktoxic-they need to assign Manziel to him so he is only involved in money, booze and women until training camp when it all becomes pure football until after the last game of the season. Manziel is good at that juggling act.

    Don't a lot of pro athletes have chaperons?

  • michael irvin and lawrence taylor somehow managed to get through their career without risking banishment........

    reminds me of when i was in the army right before they started piss testing. those were the days.

    gordon needs to find a body double who is on the straight and narrow to piss for him.

    isn't eddie murphy available to do one of his bowfinger make-ups?

  • I remember when the baseball player Josh Hamilton got picked up by the Reds in the rule 5 draft. If you didn't follow it a few years back, 5 tool player and all the talent in the world, but snorted it all up his nose and never made it the majors.

    So the Reds took a shot on him, and l guess the fear at the time was that with him finally hitting the majors and making extra dough, he might relapse. So they really did assign someone to him, l believe a relative of the manager, to keep him on the straight and narrow.

    I guess it worked, but there seemed to be a negative side effect from it. There were rumblings about how other players felt like he got preferential treatment, or maybe he was a bad clubhouse guy, or something. It's the kind of shit no one is ever clear about in the media, but he was traded after the season.

  • And went on to become a star with the Rangers... and now the Angels. Both teams took to celebrating with ginger ale in support of him. So it doesn't sound like there were too many issues.

    Josh H. still battles his demons and he always will. He got smashed a few years ago and reportedly was asking to buy some coke. And a couple years ago there was another time he fell off the proverbial wagon. To his credit he self-reported both incidents to the league and apologized to his teammates.

  • Oh yeah, he definitely went on to some success in MLB. It was the only example l could think of where a team assigned someone to keep him on the up and up though, and there seemed to be sone wierdness surrounding it.

    It was a few years after the trade when talk radio was full of the "what were we thinking?!?" crowd when Marty Brennaman implied the stuff about preferential treatment.
