  • Honestly at this point I'm genuinely confused on what could be taking so long. This has so many implications on our season if the guy plays, and it's complete bullshit that the league is dangling this for so long.

    They will probably wait right up until the Friday before the first game and suspend him.

    Yep....Im with you on the Friday part.....NFL likes making announcements on Friday and tomorrow would be 3 weeks from the day the hearing started(which is what they told us it would take).....so, Im thinking a good probability it will be tomorrow afternoon.....

  • It annoys me that he's still practicing because during the qb battle they probably only threw to him cause he's so good and then he's not going to be there during games

  • We need to find this out soon... I have no idea what is going on that is taking this long...

  • I believe hes getting out of it. I just hope its after Saturday so I can get him cheap in my big money fantasy football league.

  • I hope I find out before Sunday at 2pm so I can draft/not draft him accordingly

  • Friday is the word I'm hearing. More PR stuff from the NFL, so everyone's talking about the games come Monday, apparently they generally try to release controversial news on a Friday.

  • All I know isthat if the suspension is a year after all the foot dragging, 2 things need to happen (IMHO):

    1-The Browns should sue the NFL

    2- The owners should get off dead center & FIRE Goodell. Don't they employ him? The man is making a mockery of Pro Football.

  • Im thinking it hits today and, sadly, wont be good news for us....

    BUT, the good news is that, in just a few hours, we wont be talking quarterbacks anymore, we'll be talking receivers.....

    And In the famous words of LeBron,,,.."Just be ready".....

  • And...... Another week

  • Unless you heard thats the case, there are still 4 more hours till 5 pm pacific time......Im still guessing it will come close to then......4:59.......today......(fingers crossed)

  • All joking aside would Josh Gordon or the Browns have some sort of legal recourse against the appeal taking so long? I'm not one to just throw sue everywhere but this ridiculous delay has impacted a lot on this team IMO.

    Edit: A lot of people on Twitter are saying don't expect news today, from fairly reputable news outlets

    I dont know....But, I guarantee the NFL would say JG brought the delay on himself by appealing....if he hadn't appealed, he'd already be 1/2 way through his suspension right now...yada yada yada....

    Im also sure there is very clear language in the CBA that they have carefully followed....to the letter(the extreme letter maybe)....protecting themselves from any kind of recourse, while letting JG twist in the wind a bit....(and the Browns too.....maybe the league wishes we cut chase on him)

    Now, should the Browns sue the league they've been in forever???... and damage their relationships with the league office???....and creating an easy BIGGER distraction...... all over a WR who has has a million problems???...really???

    Maybe the Browns shouldn't be mad at the league .....maybe they should they be mad at Josh.....hmmmm....dilema
