Why is this taking so longggggggggggg?!
-
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.

Time to stop twisting the kid in the wind...
"(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.'"

And...... Another week

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

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.

Like i said....longer decision...less penalty.
Man...I so hope you're right......Ive been thinking the same all along(that he'd get off completely)......but now, Im just starting to worry they are just screwing with him extra hard.......because they can.....then will claim their hands were tied by the CBA and dump a full year on him.....
Then they'll just say "dont blame the NFL, blame the players association and the contract they negotiated."....one thing I do know very very well are labor Unions and how business owners and management feel about them. I also know it is a very contentious relationship, as Im a player in a union company myself. Management eats crap all the time because of collectively bargained rules, so when possible, we like to throw a little back... ....THIS is a great opportunity for the NFL to use the unions own rules against them......Goodell could just say...."I really wanted to let him off, BUT the CBA rules state otherwise and my hands are tied by their rules....so so sorry"
Still....I really really hope Im wrong and that you're right....damn, this is giving me a
........tic......
......tic......

a pox and curse on the NFL!!!!...I was sure it would be announced today.....bass turds.....

One of my favorite quotes today on the web: "I think they’ll find that Malaysian plane before we get a Josh Gordon ruling" LOL!
