  • well they said the decision is going to take place within this upcoming 2 week period, and after the decision he expects gordon to show up in berea. my guess then is he is put in a van and taken to the airport under supervised care/guard and flown to high swag rehab.

    if his suspension is less than the whole year then he's pulled a rabbit out of his ass.

    i mean look at what happened to aldon smith. gun possession in airport, dui, some other charge and he gets 18 days in jail and a slap on the wrist. me or you we'd been looking at years.

    man i guess OJ got it right....the first time. celebs can get away with murder.

    Attaboy Pettine! That's what I'm talking about. For ANY other team, if they had a game changer, a game breaker, or an elite player they would not cut them. People just want to keep the Browns down and cutting Josh Gordon would be akin to doing just that. Whether he's suspended or cut he won't be on the field. So why not wait until he's able and put the monster back on the gridiron in Orange and Brown? Hell, Mike Vick slaughtered dogs and he's out there on Sundays. Josh smokes a joint and drinks a beer ! CUT HIS ASS !

    Thanks Mike, you removed a huge burden I've been carrying for a while since this all went down. Kudos Coach. Your first test has been passed, stand with your team.

    No, Pettine is just using common sense. Let's assume worst case scenario- Jordon get the indefinite- (meaning one year) ban. Sure, I can see getting him the rehab and counseling he desperately needs. I would hope in the meantime Gordon reaches out to guys like Chris Carter and Michael Irvin who managed to turn things around.

    BUT PG- Gordon is assuredly down to his last strike with the Browns (and possibly the entire NFL) if he fucks up while he's suspended. If he likes ganga better than the big bucks he can earn in the NFL- he can go to the Caribbean and smoke it to his heart's content with the other drug poster boy Ricky Williams. In the meantime, he's pissed away a few ten $$$million. Your choice Josh.

    True... but he's using common sense in the face of pressure from a chunk of the fan base that feel betrayed by Josh and want him gone.

    Not to mention a chunk of his player base according to some reports. Something Pettine will likely have to address in the opening team meeting.

  • can't cut that talent. rehab/straight and narrow/choose new friends/all-time best teammate.

    first fuck up bye. then NO ONE will touch him...which is our greatest concern right now.

  • At least we have a time frame for actual news/ punishment.

    Appeal coming August 1st... I can't believe it took this long, but at least we know when we'll get an answer.

  • That is just the hearing date. I have been involved in any number of hearings where the decision thereon was not made until months afterward. In this case though I do think there is a deadline...that being Game 1 of the regular season.

  • Ray Rice suspension expected to be two games

    The Ravens are bracing themselves for Ray Rice to be suspended, though they’re awaiting word on how long.

    As it turns out, it might be shorter than anyone expected.

    According to Rand Getlin of Yahoo Sports, Rice is expected to get a two-game suspension, though no official announcement has been made.

    Rand Getlin@RandGetlin
    Hearing, though I haven't been able to confirm, that Ray Rice will receive a two-game suspension. Will update asap.

    If that’s the case, Rice will get half the punishment for being caught on tape knocking out his now-wife (who apologized for getting knocked out) that other players get for testing positive for Adderall.

    If that’s the case, Rice will miss games against the Bengals and Steelers.

    But perhaps more poignantly, he’ll be back on the field by October, when the NFL wraps itself in pink to remind us how valuable their female customers are to them.

    True, but what I am thinking is that there already has been a private ruling made, of which only Gordon and his reps are aware of.

    Since this is a private organization procedure that can happen where it wouldn't in a public matter.

    Suspensions for violations are standard according to the NFL's policy. If this is #2, #3, etc... there is a standard length of suspension that accompanies that violation. If he received a letter stating he violated, he and his team already know the potential suspension they are looking at. I wasn't sure if Gordon was at Stage 3 of the policy, but the longer this has played out the more I believe this is a one-year ban. Given the DWI recently, he has NO chance to win his appeal, and will be lucky with only a one-year ban... IMHO. It seems the league COULD propose a one-year ban, and then further violate him for the DWI... Just like Blackmon, I don't see Gordon cleaning up his act if he is out of the league for an entire year... just sad...

    Have you ever wondered what the locker room tension would be for a guy like Gordon when he walks in? Is he looked at as a pariah or is it all par for the course in the NFL?

    For Josh, I'd guess the locker room is still a mix of both attitudes...

    For Blackmon, not so much...

    I think it'd be more positive than you think, When you break it down all his issues are drug related which I'm confident the majority of NFL players partake in some way or another. I think it'd be a lot different than say when Dante Stallworth came back.

  • If you knock a woman the fuck out in an elevator and then drag her unconscious body across the ground.

    Young promising kid smoking a little weed, showing signs of a substance problem .... Indefinite fucking suspension.

    Violence against women .... Sure, we frown upon that, but you still get 14 game checks and paid for preseason and postseason.

    Need a little help with substance abuse ... Sit your ass the fuck down for a year and, if you stop smoking pot we may let you back in.

    I'm sure it has something to do with Gordons umpteenth offense but ........yeah 😕 Not to mention, king Roger is a Ravens fan.

    So....... Smoking weed umpteen times is worse than knocking a woman unconscious. Got it

  • If you are a Raven:

    Convicted of obstructing justice in a double homocide: 0 games

    Knocking a woman the fuck out in an elevator ... with your fist ... on video ... And then dragging her motionless body across the floor: 2 games

    If you are a Brown:

    Cough syrup: 2 games

    Weed: indefinite suspension

  • Remember kids, if you're going to commit a crime, make sure it's something harmless like drunk driving or beating a woman.

  • let's see:

    drunk driving....dashcam

    beating a woman...elevator security footage

    pissing on a grave.......oh, let me bring my camera and videotape it and then do interviews afterwards!

    i couldn't place the order of those 3 offenses in which is the worst, but i do know, they are all dumb as fuck.

    There you go. Don't get me wrong, pissing on a grave is pretty fucked up but at least there was no chance of bodily harm.

  • The NFL is a clownshow no more no less. I would love to hear someone from the FO explain why Terrell Pryor selling his own fucking property in college before he was in the NFL...warranted 5 games. Yet uppercutting your wife to the jaw in a vegas casino gets you 2 games? I mean look..to be perfectly honest Ray Rice shouldn't get any kind of suspension from the NFL..it ain't their business. Just like Josh Gordon taking a non performance enhancing substance or Terrell Pryor bartering for tattoos shouldn't get a minute suspension either. Ray Rice should be in jail, that's a fact. But that's not the NFL's business. I have zero clue how Ray Rice is not in jail. I get it that often battered women don't press charges and there's nothing law enforcement can do without the wife's consent. But often if they have their own proof they will go ahead and press charges regardless of what the wife does. This would seem to fall into that category with the whole video tape and all. Was the elevator tape ever released? I know the police have it and said it clearly shows him jaw jacking her. So wtf? If anyone of us punched a woman like that and it was on tape...the fuck you think would happen?
