  • 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.

    "(Gordon), like all of us wants to know and wants to get on with it and move forward," Pettine said. "Just kind of being in limbo for so long it can be draining. He made the comment the other day, 'The football field is where he feels most at home.'"

  • 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

    ....and that means they cant announce it today???

  • dunno.

    once offices close, they close, i guess?

    they made a couple of other announcements today (the chiefs OL getting suspended for PEDs) and i thought that gordon would be the next decision to be announced but...?

    the lawyers must have made a great argument that has the NFL twisting in the wind not knowing which way to come down on this OR they're waiting for a diversion moment to slip gordon's suspension out there while they get on a plane to cancun.

    irsay holds the key.

    I'm sure you're right, I just don't understand how so many suspensions have gone through but Gordon is still stuck holding his dick. I can't wrap my head around what information they are possibly waiting on to make a decision.
