Gordon suspended 10 games.
-
It's official.
-
No it's not
-
Thats fucked. But im happy he will be back at some point
-
Almost pointless to have him back. Waste a contract year on six games and almost certainly a losing season.
-
this is rediculous, he should still sue them. how is smoking pot a couple times, and doing codeine... worse than beating your wife or the same as killing someone drunk driving????

Josh Gordon's reported eight-game suspension shows NFL still tone deaf
(UPDATE: The Plain Dealer reported Friday afternoon that Gordon's suspension will actually be for 10 games because of the stage of the program he was in, because a fourth violation triggers a 10-game suspension.)
Does this make any sense to you at all?
Recently, 49ers outside linebacker Aldon Smith got a nine-game suspension. He was given that punishment because he had a DUI, weapons charges and made a bomb threat at the Los Angeles airport in separate incidents. And he got roughly the same suspension as Gordon.
The problem is that the NFL has become the NCAA, where punishment generally serves no purpose and follows no logic. The NFL could have easily reduced Gordon's suspension to a game or two, and it would have been fair and nobody would have argued. It would have been a positive gesture to a 23-year-old man who seems serious about getting his life on track.

If he had just stuck to being involved with killing a couple of guys and paying off the families, we would be planning a statue for him instead.

hate to say it, but lets not forget he will be going to court on his DUI, prior to being reinstated.....which will be his 5th violation....
Honestly, we probably can't count on this guy playing for a long long time.....hell, with the new policy in place, the 5th vio could be another whole season for all we know.....

NFL passes new drug law.

10 games for Gordon

Why bother, we're going to be so far out it that it's pointless . . . sorry, we're not going to win against the Saints this week, even if we went 10-6 this would not be one of those wins.

There's always hope.
And voodoo...

So what's the new threshold for a "failed" test?
If it's 150 instead of 15 like was being said, why is he being suspended at all?
And if he is being suspended because he failed the test before it was changed, then why was the sentence reduced?
How did they get 10 games as the number they went with?
Seems like they took some from column A and some from column B....

This is such bullshit that I can't barely stand it. I fucking HATE the NFL and their bullshit rules. They are fucking up the game of FOOTBALL. Gordon shouldn't be suspended AT ALL. Their fucking test was flawed. One sample passed and the other failed and because some dipshit lab-monkey labeled one sample A and the other one B and not the other way around, and now we are forced to be without our STAR WR for almost an entire fucking year.
The NFL needs to pull their brain-dead, inconsistent, non-coherent, vomit inducing fucking head out of it's conglomerated asshole and fix this fuckup. #FreeFuckingJoshGordonNOWuPussyPiecesofShit.
