Josh Gordon news

[Zombo]

Sounds like they dont know what to do with Josh because he actually violated in 2013 under those rules, so they are just going to split it down the middle.

I hope the fucker gets 1000 yards in 8 games, although he will have missed out on 400 yards against the Steelers, who he will not face.

With all the talk about Gordon, Rice and weed...I think a lot of people are missing the fact that a lot of players are against HGH testing and THAT is what most of them are focused on(not JG).....and Hgh testing is why this has been on the table for so long.....

To the players and rest of the league, JG isn't really the issue....HGH testing is.....(and a LOT of players dont want HGH testing)

and that means there is still a chance they will vote no......

and if they do?.......

[Zombo]

Im sure the Steelers rep will vote no to HGH testing.

I just don't understand why 8 games...?

I'll be curious to hear why/how they came up with that #

[thenew23]

Until I hear otherwise, it looks to me like:

Gordon get's suspended 8 games for testing under an "unfair" policy, that was changed a few months later...??

I would have him serve 2 games now (since it is so late in the week already), and let those count toward the DUI suspension, if he is convicted...

It ultimately HAS to be about money...

[JAFBF]

On a positive note (in regards to Rice), it's starting to look like there's a chance Goodell may be gone.

First the N.O.W. is all over his case, which could be shrugged off, but this morning Pepsi ($1B in NFL Advertising) said they're going to be closely watching how this is handled.

$ talks, and $1B is pretty damn loud.

Just to be the devil's advocate... The National Organization for Women wants complete across the board equality but guys aren't allowed to hit them.

But seriously Gordon should be off the hook.

Just to be devils advocate.....and to have complete across the board equal nation, we should beat the elderly, children and handicapped people too....

Fair is fair....

Do they advocate being allowed to hit guys with impunity?

Of course it happens all the time. A woman can hit, slap, kick a guy and have no complaint brought. Probably by the guys choice. Most guys don't want to be seen as foolish for bringing charges against a woman who has hit on him. Unless she uses like a rolling pin or a knife or a hammer or something.

Goodell has twin daughters and four brothers... 2 x 4 = 8...

Reminds me of the time I accidentally watched "Jerry Springer".

How can you "accidentally" watch something

Reduced to 8 games?

Adam Schefter@AdamSchefter

When a new drug policy is approved as early as this afternoon, Josh Gordon's suspension expected to be reduced to 8 games, per source.

and I just heard yet another report on knr now saying no suspension at all...oy....the roller coaster continues.....

[jrb12711]

I could be way off base here, but I think this whole embarrassing situation with Ray Rice will bolster Gordon's case and something WILL change, just a matter of what. They need a story about them making changes and pleasing fans ASAP, and this would be an easy way to do it. I still wouldn't be surprised if he's in uniform week three but who knows.

[D Bone]

If we can come out of these first 5 games at no worse than 2-3 and we get Puffy back soon after, we could legitimately finish .500 or better,,,,,,,,,,

[JAFBF]

Sounds to me like no suspension :

[slimdawg]

Yea at this point i would think its all or nothing regarding josh. A reduced suspension, in my mind with these circumstances just sounds like a plucked number. His appeals over, if his failed test would pass the new threshold it should be zero games. If they dont wanna make his test retroactive because of the date of the failed test then he should still have the 16 games. All this 6-8-10 games is total B.S. IMO.

[LBC mike]

Gordon was suspended for a 2013 incident. Eight games iswhat I am expecting

No ... It doesn't.

I can see a two game suspension when/if he gets a dui conviction. But WTF would the 6-8 be for? Just making more shit up? That's not working out well for the NFL.

If it 6 games for everything including the DUI and the drug test fiasco then t sucks but hey it's better than nothing.

Honestly 2-4 I can see ... Anything more than that is too much as I see it.

[slimdawg]

And i also beleive that week 1 should count toward any games he might get for the DUI, but i still think hes got a great shot at beating that in court. This all could work out great for the browns and JG..... fingers and toes crossed fellas!!
