  • I just can't understand why the league continues to drag this thing on and on and on and on..........

  • Not surprising. There is no hurry....at least on the part of the league. They can take until the season starts as far as they are concerned.. I fully expected this thing to not be resolved until just before the first regular season game.

    Deciding it any sooner would simply be a courtesy to the Browns so they can prepare better know who they will have.....but the league is under no obligation to extend that courtesy....and often they don't.

  • I expect this to be done before the first pre-season game, on the basis of nothing at all. But, if it drags on to the regular season, then he can only come back in that time next year, so misses *all* of training camp - and let's be honest, there's about a 50% chance it'll be a completely new offense that he'll be going from scratch on.

  • on the basis of nothing at all--aside from roster talent and unrelated odds--i predict Pettine Farmer et al get 2 years this time...

    they won't lose more than ten anyway, so it's moot. 😎

  • irsay conspiracy theory.

    wait and see.

  • I think he will be suspended for a year.

  • If he was getting a year suspension then the decision shouldve been made already.

    The NFL was and still is dragging their feet on this issue and if he is suspended for a year, they are now messing with the start of next year. If hes out a year, that means he couldn't even APPLY for reinstatement until the middle of camp next year, then it'd be another hearing to see if he'd be let back in. So if its a year theres a chance he misses the start of NEXT year too, all because the NFL has dragged their feet.

    So it better not be a year, is what I'm saying. Because then they would have royally fucked the Browns.

    The NFL is kinda like the honey badger, and you know how that saying goes.

    Whew...that pretty much assures he'll get a significantly reduced suspension or nothing at all

  • I agree with those thinking the drug test is being shit-canned.

    Meanwhile, if Goddell is going to be consistent at all, then he needs to wait for the DUI to be resolved in court. As much as he might like to throw in a 4-game suspension now, there is no "pattern of behavior" under the personal conduct policy to justify getting in front of the court...

    ... just like in the Irsay case...

    I think Roger is in a bit of bother here.

    If this comment (from the link) is accurate- it very well could be the reason this is dragging on so long. Just maybe the NFLPA's lawyers got involved too?

    The latest from Mary Kay is Josh's lawyers think- "it might be a week or more".

    "The rules governing this matter are found in the CBA which was agreed upon by the League and Player’s Association. What ever the rules indicate are to be followed as per the CBA. That means Josh Gordon is screwed.

    However, as with all CBAs in labor negotiations, what the public and media don’t seem to realize is these rules can be amended at any time during the term of the Agreement if both sides enter into a ‘memorandum of understanding’ which would be attached to the CBA and change the provisions of the Agreement until the term is concluded and negotiations start again. In such a case, the League and PA could agree to increase the limits of detectable levels of substances and Gordon may not be as screwed as the current rules dictate. "
