Josh Gordon, Marijuana and the Playoffs.
-
I'm excited to have Josh back for next season. We should be a much better team when he returns. I can only hope that he's staying up-to-date in the playbook and with his training. It's a shame that he's not allowed to even be involved with team activities. Having said that though, it appears he is doing the right things to have a major comeback and help us where we need it most. A big target(besides Barnidge) would open up the passing game for these smaller wideouts and even contribute exponentially to the run game.
I still believe the Playoffs are within reach this season, but the time is now, we have to win this weekend. We have too. If this team can string together a couple wins before the BYE and go in at 5-5 we would be in good shape... well, a lot better than 3-7...
I think it's time that the War on Drugs be fixed so that it is really about 'drugs' and not a harmless plant. I physically cannot drink, it makes me sick. I would love to be able to 'take the edge off' of a hard day's work without feeling like a criminal. It's time Ohio.

Gordon was suspended again due to alcohol not weed.
-
I voted "no" on being excited about Gordon's return because I need to see a committed & consistent effort from him on the field before I get excited.
We'll see.

wont Josh be a FA next year? He is gone from Cleveland. He will go to Dallas or Cinci where they welcome that kind of person
-
10 people against legal weed?
Why?
-
I could not care less about weed but just because it is legal don't mean the NFL will allow it. I like what Josh can do on the field but is off the field issues will get him in trouble again.
-

Because I have as much right to vote "no" as you have to vote "yes". That's all you need to know, that not all of us think the same, & that's actually okay.

1. No... because of what I saw last year.
2. No... because there are too many teams between us and a WC slot.
3. Yes.. but kinda outta state.
wont Josh be a FA next year?
No... Gordon is under contract to us for two more years assuming his game 17 suspension in 2014 is upheld. If it's overturned, then we still have him for one more year.

I am overall undecided longer term on how I feel about legal weed. I am however smart enough to see through the well orchestrated ads about poor little children who can't get medical weed and job creation. If their genuine concern were anything like The ads they"d have no issue with growing for personal use and licensing smaller caregiver farms. The bill is a straight cash grab that counts on either sympathy or the fact many don't care about the bullshit as long as they can buy weed. It's a bad bill.10 people against legal weed?

When I was young and naive I might have voted for weed. But it dumbs you down, makes you lazy and destroys brain cells. Just what the people of Ohio need; More dumbasses living off the government and mooching off tax payers.
As for Josh Gordon; How old will he be next year? Do you really think he's having an ephiny right now? He's,got a greenhouse full of marijuana growing while he watches reality TV all day eating Crispy Creams. Sure, he'll make a difference.
-
Hope people go out and vote for issue 3... dont matter if you think its a good bill or not... the law against it right now is the biggest crime already and anything would improve the situation... or i guess we can keep throwing weed smokers in jail while real criminals roam free
-
And I have to add one more post on this subject... Do people really believe that weed makes people dumber than alcohol? I think people believe too many stereotypes without actually investigating issues themselves.

This ^^ Tells me Josh does not want to be here period.. When shit goes bad on the Field. Josh goes bad on the streets. Peer pressure with friends for years has shot this kid in the foot. Josh after 10 game suspension looked lost on the playbook & not in the best shape on endurance. All fixable with full camp but Josh's heart & head has got to be back in his game..

They are counting on people like you. Vote yes even if we think it's a bad bill? If you really feel passionate about it lobby for a GOOD bill.Hope people go out and vote for issue 3... dont matter if you think its a good bill or not... the law against it right now is the biggest crime already and anything would improve the situation... or i guess we can keep throwing weed smokers in jail while real criminals roam free

I could care less if people smoke weed legally or illegally, but I don't like issue 3 because it basically says:
"These 10 rich people are allowed to create a monopoly and control every aspect of this particular market, from production to distribution to sales, without competition from anybody...... and by the way, you can smoke weed legally"
If you like are willing to give those people that much power and money, just so you can get high and not worry about a slap-on-the-wrist misdemeanor... then you're ____________ (insert favorite synonym for 'crazy'). Issue 2 is a great law that prevents people from ever being able to "write into law" a monopoly on any market. Once issue 2 passes, issue 3 will basically become null-and-void anyway...
If the people actually put an amendment into the constitution that ONLY says "marijuana legalization - for age appropriate (I think 25 and older) people, with strict restrictions about driving while high / smoking in a public place / accepting public assistance while using / accepting unemployment while using / accepting Medicaid while using / etc..." Then I will gladly vote for the hard-working American to be able to come home and light up if that's what they want...

Agreed. That is not how a free market should work. It is bullshit.

Will you smoke it when it passes?

Weed is now like alcohol was in the twenties....forbidden but commonly utilized. Soon "Prohibition" against weed will go the way of prohibition against alcohol...and prohibition against gay marriage.

No, I don't think so. The Browns have him at least through 2016...if not beyond....if they want him.

Of course, all the same things can be said about booze.....only its worth. (and I suspect that far, far more people....if any do at all....mooch off taxpayers because of booze than they do because of marijuana.)

Anything to support that claim?
