  • i wouldn't risk bringing anything on a plane, for personal use or not. fucking with the tsa is something you don't want to do.

    just do what my friend does. stick it in a fedex package and have that shipped to you at your destination.

    done.

  • Or, just not be a stupid fuck and not do it.

    Does anyone else remember when Chris Perez (former Indians' closer) got busted for having a pound of weed shipped to his house and addressed to him?

    Fortunately, the MLB doesn't give two shits about weed use.

  • fedex is privately owned and they don't have dogs at their hub.

    you would be a fool to stick a bag, a joint, some wax in a envelope and send it presuming it would get there ok using any type of transpo.

    certain precautions must be taken.

  • Browns have no plans to cut Josh Gordon

    Jul 21 2014, 9:47 PMGordon Brunt

    Despite the offseason troubles surrounding Cleveland Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, his spot with the team isn't in jeopardy according to head coach Mike Pettine.

    Speaking with the Akron Beacon Journal, Pettine confirmed Gordon's position with the team and the Browns' desire to assist the 23-year-old.

    "Josh is a Cleveland Brown. We want to do what’s best for him. We have a player that potentially needs help," Pettine said. "Whether it’s him or whether it’s anybody else that wears the uniform, if we can help, we’ll help.

    "We want to make our decisions always, what’s best for the player, and you try to marry it with what’s best for the team. So that’s why I don’t think that cutting him, while it may have worked for some other people, I don’t know if that’s the necessarily the best option here. It might be the worst option for both -- for us and for him. We’re going to wait and see what happens and then act accordingly.”

    The first incident to plague Gordon during the offseason was a failed drug test when he reportedly tested positive for marijuana, his second such offense, and awaits a hearing to determine his suspension. The second occurred weeks later when he received a speeding ticket while his passenger was charged with marijuana possession. And the latest ensued earlier this month when he was arrested for a DWI offense.

    Pettine was reluctant to talk about the assistance the team will provide for the troubled wideout, and expects a resolution to Gordon's appeal hearing, pertaining to his possible suspension, to materialize over the next two weeks.

    Pettine continued and explained his thought process when asked about the possibility of a season-long suspension

    “I’ve heard everything, all the possibilities, so it’s just gotten to the point where it is what it is. We’ve planned for everything, and we’re ready to go. I don’t want that to be a huge dark cloud hanging over everything and we’ve hung our hopes on it. Typical coach mentality: Expect the worst, hope for the best.”

  • Attaboy Pettine! That's what I'm talking about. For ANY other team, if they had a game changer, a game breaker, or an elite player they would not cut them. People just want to keep the Browns down and cutting Josh Gordon would be akin to doing just that. Whether he's suspended or cut he won't be on the field. So why not wait until he's able and put the monster back on the gridiron in Orange and Brown? Hell, Mike Vick slaughtered dogs and he's out there on Sundays. Josh smokes a joint and drinks a beer ! CUT HIS ASS !

    Thanks Mike, you removed a huge burden I've been carrying for a while since this all went down. Kudos Coach. Your first test has been passed, stand with your team.

    No, Pettine is just using common sense. Let's assume worst case scenario- Jordon get the indefinite- (meaning one year) ban. Sure, I can see getting him the rehab and counseling he desperately needs. I would hope in the meantime Gordon reaches out to guys like Chris Carter and Michael Irvin who managed to turn things around.

    BUT PG- Gordon is assuredly down to his last strike with the Browns (and possibly the entire NFL) if he fucks up while he's suspended. If he likes ganga better than the big bucks he can earn in the NFL- he can go to the Caribbean and smoke it to his heart's content with the other drug poster boy Ricky Williams. In the meantime, he's pissed away a few ten $$$million. Your choice Josh.

  • well they said the decision is going to take place within this upcoming 2 week period, and after the decision he expects gordon to show up in berea. my guess then is he is put in a van and taken to the airport under supervised care/guard and flown to high swag rehab.

    if his suspension is less than the whole year then he's pulled a rabbit out of his ass.

    i mean look at what happened to aldon smith. gun possession in airport, dui, some other charge and he gets 18 days in jail and a slap on the wrist. me or you we'd been looking at years.

    man i guess OJ got it right....the first time. celebs can get away with murder.

    True... but he's using common sense in the face of pressure from a chunk of the fan base that feel betrayed by Josh and want him gone.

    Not to mention a chunk of his player base according to some reports. Something Pettine will likely have to address in the opening team meeting.

  • can't cut that talent. rehab/straight and narrow/choose new friends/all-time best teammate.

    first fuck up bye. then NO ONE will touch him...which is our greatest concern right now.

  • At least we have a time frame for actual news/ punishment.

  • http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000367940/article/josh-gordons-appeals-hearing-set-for-aug-1?campaign=Twitter_atl

    Appeal coming August 1st... I can't believe it took this long, but at least we know when we'll get an answer.

  • 1 year suspension, mandatory rehab, 1 year aftercare program (random piss tests), AA meetings, etc.

  • That is just the hearing date. I have been involved in any number of hearings where the decision thereon was not made until months afterward. In this case though I do think there is a deadline...that being Game 1 of the regular season.

  • Ray Rice suspension expected to be two games

    The Ravens are bracing themselves for Ray Rice to be suspended, though they’re awaiting word on how long.

    As it turns out, it might be shorter than anyone expected.

    According to Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports, Rice is expected to get a two-game suspension, though no official announcement has been made.

    If that’s the case, Rice will get half the punishment for being caught on tape knocking out his now-wife (who apologized for getting knocked out) that other players get for testing positive for Adderall.

    If that’s the case, Rice will miss games against the Bengals and Steelers.

    But perhaps more poignantly, he’ll be back on the field by October, when the NFL wraps itself in pink to remind us how valuable their female customers are to them.

  • how can gordon appeal anything if a judgement wasn't handed down to him?

    i mean usually in the court system you appeal a decision, right gipper?

    True, but what I am thinking is that there already has been a private ruling made, of which only Gordon and his reps are aware of.

    Since this is a private organization procedure that can happen where it wouldn't in a public matter.
