    So why did Gordon get popped for a beer? It’s federal legal and sold in every gas station

    Because when you are on the NFL abusers shit list every substance is banned. Personally I think it should meet legally drunk standards for alcohol, not just a positive.

    Right, kinda like, my ball, my rules. 

    But weed is still a federal offense. No matter what state deems it otherwise. Until it becomes more mainstream I think pot will stay on the shitlist. The league will never ok a substance that violates federal law. 

    Thats not my opinion. Just the way it is and will be for the foreseeable future

    But a federal law that is no longer enforced in the states on the linked map. Kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

  • Apart from the legality of pot I am not on board with players smoking pot because I don't see how it makes then any better athletes but is counterproductive to them performing at their highest level. I don't think with the money they make asking them to refrain from smoking pot during football season anyway is asking too much or requesting too big of a sacrifice. JMO.

  • Yea , what he said!!!!

  • Everybody smokes weed. And it shouldn't be a banned substance. Its not a ped.

    That's a bigger discussion, but moot in this instance. Right now weed is illegal in the NFL, and until that is changed, it does matter if you keep adding players who can't stop toking as it gets them suspended. Talent means NOTHING if you aren't playing. Do I really need to mention Josh Gordon here?

    You mean players who get caught.

    No, the big difference is once clipped, you get tested randomly, making it much harder for chronic users to slip by. Rico is now on that program, where as before he just had to make sure he tested clean once a year, when he knew the test was coming. Just look at Gordon. 

  • Gordon wasn't only weed.

    Not only weed, but definitely weed was included in his hot mess.

    It's surprising with how badly the Gordon experiment went that the Browns are still adding players with similar backgrounds.

    I understand giving a guy a chance. I seriously doubt that this FO will let these guys have any more than that chance. They just hoping the bats call soon
