      Did it ever occur to you people that he probably tested positive again?

      Yes....but if that was the case then you think we would have heard about it.

        Far be it from me to upset the apple cart with a post about promoting the Browns, forgiving a player, and operating as a team, HOWEVER.....................

        if some of you guys want to condemn Gordon as a fuck-up, by all means go ahead. However, I can promise you, if Gordon played for Bill Belichik, the entire patriots team, including the community, management and ownership would have been standing behind Josh and pressuring the NFL to let the kid back in.

        This is an abomination. In an age where the stupidity of marijuana being illegal is being documented, Josh's errors are hardly egregious and fatal.

        This ruling is an abomination, and it is immoral. I am not setting aside his mistakes, but at the same time you can't set aside man's responsibility to forgive, educate, develop and guide those who have made mistakes. Josh Gordon is a human being, he is a kid. He is blessed with wonderful physical skills, and he only has one live, one chance to do something that every one of us wish we could do....... even for one, glorious Sunday.

        The earmarks of decency, compassion and wisdom lie not in endlessly punishing each other for mistakes, but in helping people to turn themselves around. There is no good to be served by leaving Josh Gordon on the outside, looking in. Whatever the kid did, he has paid for, and then some.

        When you consider the scumbags scattered all about in the NFL, this punishment of Gordon is borderline evil and vindictive.

        The NFL should be ashamed of themselves, but even more than that, the Browns organization should be ashamed of themselves. They could have put a team behind this kid. They could have formed some agreement with him, and taken their case to the public and to the NFL.

        I don't give a shit if you like the kid or not. But he is a Brown. If this fucking franchise is so great, where the hell are they in helping to get Gordon back into the game? Do they actually think this unconscionable ban is going to help him, the Browns or the league?

        Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

        It isn't even a matter of him being a Brown. It really DOES seem to be some kind of vendetta. I mean, unless the guy is just repeatedly, repeatedly violating the policy....and I see NO evidence of a violation in like over 2 years, this is exactly what this seems.

        The "kid" voluntarily went to rehab...what? 2 years ago?

          We should do something. But what?

          If Goodell was willing to reinstate him last season after he served his 4 game suspension, then why after voluntarily sitting out the entire season to get his life straightened out... why continue to punish him? Why? This is complete fucking bullshit. Where the FUCK is the NFLPA?

            I think we need to factor in that his agent dumped him two weeks ago. I would surmise she knew he was doing stupid shit and wouldn't be reinstated. She surely didn't bail if she thought he was clean and ready to play. The rant about how it's a travesty over weed is just straight horseshit. Most of us work our asses off and have to test cleans. Rules of employment are just that, rules, like it or not. He shouldn't be any less culpable than anyone else.

                    if he had been a squealer or patriot...he'd be reinstated.

                    he didn't love football, let his teammates and fans down...

                    I don't care a whit. Just a loser like jm.

                        LOL to the pro dope mentality

                        nothing matters with this talented kid Until he decides to want it.... pot or no pot isnt the only thing here

                        its about his committing to the team and going to war with them,

                        but with what seems to be the attitude of the doper generation - they want it both ways

                        -get high, have prestige and fame but not commit to leaving it behind for the sake of the greater good

                          not sure on that one, since he's suspended we don't hear anything. I think if he were active then we would have heard he tested dilute with traces of THC in his system.

                              Goodell gave him a chance last year Gordon was able to be with the team sit in team meetings(while still under suspension) That has never happened before ,so not only did he kinda spit in godells face but he also probably ruined any chance of other players getting the same treatment

                                Eh, that's the type of thing that makes the papers. My best guess is that the "i'm going to rehab instead of owning up to another drug bust" pissed ol' Roger off a good bit. The simple truth of the matter is the guy is judge, jury, and executioner so it could make sense.

                                    Okay, what the actual fuck is the National Football Player's Association for exactly if not to stand up for the rights of a player being taken advantage of or being used as a fucked up example?

                                    They can come together to get out of padded practice or contact during practice or whatever, maybe it's time to stand up for something other than themselves.

                                    I don't give a fuck what all the bitter, salty and envious haters have to say about Josh Gordon, they can say, "he did it to himself", or "he's a fuckup!" all they want. It has went far beyond that now. The dude has tried, and if you can't see it... you are an idiot.

                                    He's been busted for every single fucking thing that he's done since day 1. He's paid the price for his transgression with interest. I promise you that there are players that will be playing day one that have done way worse things than Gordon has ever done.

                                    What do I see from Gordon? Keep it together. God is good. Keep working. God Bless. Stay positive. There is hope, keep believing...

                                    Beat a bitch. Knock a tramps teeth out. Illegal dog fighting operation. Rape. Murder. Those are just off the top of my head. There is a new case of some moron fucking up nearly every day.

                                    But for God's sake don't you dare-

                                    1- take medicine that the doctor has prescribed to you.

                                    2- be in the vacinity of anyone anytime that may or may not be smoking weed.

                                    3- don't you dare be confused over the wording of some archaic and almighty punishment sent down from Goodell's high fucking horse.

                                    You know what? Fuck that. Goodell, let me spell it out for you.

                                    Y-O-U A-R-E A B-I-T-C-H ... it's no wonder the people boo your bitch ass every time you take the stage. Pull the stick out of your ass and put on your big girl panties and reinstate Gordon before this gets ugly.

                                    The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one. -Mark Twain- "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog." -Mark Twain-

                                      There's obviously something behind the scenes going on with Gordon. Why would he tweet weird stuff and snap weird stuff, then did the whole rehab thing? Was that partly a shot at us and goodell, or is josh legit just trying to better himself? Did he screw up, and is that why his agent dropped him? Look, I think Goodell is an idiot. Especially for how he dealt with the CTE problem for years. But maybe he has extra information and Gordon is acting like Blackman. I hope that's not the case because I like Gordon, but if he did everything required, he should be reinstated just like Martavius Bryant was unless he did more things behind the scenes. That's something only Josh and Goodell know.

                                        ^^^ Well said. There has to be something we don't know about, but Goodell does. Can't remember where Gordon (maybe) was shown tossing his Browns stuff in the trash could well be his admission- he screwed up again- and knew he was busted. But then the why? Well- try again in the fall? His use to a team at that point is near worthless.

                                        MHO is those who think the NFL is solely making an example of Josh are off base. Just because you play for the Steelers or Patriots doesn't fly either. (Brady got busted 4 games for some debatable actions too, if you remember.) So if you do feel that way- give me a valid reason why the League wouldn't want an extremely talented WR on an NFL roster. 99.9% probability Josh couldn't do whatever the League had mandated him to do to get reinstated. It's not like he hasn't gotten it explicitly spelled out to him around a half dozen times before.

                                        PG- it's not whether we think the rules are stupid- they're the rules, and the NFLPA should lobby to get them changed. They were partially successful- got the threshold for weed raised, and got the sanctions for repeat violations reduced. I happen to think the 25 mph speed limit on Route 8 through Northfield is ridiculous, but if I haul ass through there at 40 mph and a cop is around- I'm going to get a ticket.

                                          Nothing has changed. I have long ago given up any expectations for Gordon to produce for the Browns. That being said, why get rid of him? He costs absolutely nothing and the Browns should retain his rights even if there is only a 1% chance he ever catches another TD again. The "he's a distraction" argument is absolute dogshit. If there is any professional athlete who is distracted by a WR who hasn't played the game in years and who isn't even around the team, they don't belong in the league to begin with.
