    The precedent has already been set that NFL teams are employers of the players who are employees. Employers must follow state employment guidelines.

    That would seem unfair to a player who played in a state with liberal laws, vs one with strict laws.

    Not trying to be rude but that seems like a childish argument.

    So you think that two players commit the same violation, one in CA, the other in GA. One gets suspended 8 games, the other none is fair? It should be a uniform punishment for everyone, hardly childish.

    Employers in states where weed is legal are still able to fire workers for smoking pot.

    What I am saying is stating "it's unfair for ..." is a childish, liberal, everything should be equal for every situation argument. It's like arguing that its not fair that Florida and Texas don't have state income taxes so players can make more money off the same salary in those states, theoretically, giving those teams a higher salary cap. I don't want to get too political on this forum.

    If a player is getting 8 games playing for Atlanta he isn't getting 0 playing for Oakland.

    its childish because it reminds me of an argument you would have had with your parents when you were a child. "that's not fair, daddy." "well, the world isn't fair, son."

    I give up since you misread what I was trying to say to begin with.

    given the facts of the case I say any suspension is a screwing.

    if he had failed both rounds with a high enough level that it was undoubtably smoking then a year would be fair.

    Except if Godell rules that it a pattern of behavior with his iron fist, like someone mentioned earlier. I would bet it all that this would be his basis for suspension

    Maybe but I wouldn't think it was a pattern of behavior if he was able to not smoke the stupid shit even while his homies were.

    well the NFL has quietly turned mum on the disciplinary front. there are no links to anything related to disciplinary hearings on their website, although you can search and find articles.

    aldon smith met with goodell yesterday and you'd be hard pressed to know it if you were to go to nfl.com.

    3 felony gun charges reduced to misdemeanors (really?...how does that happen?), a DUI and a false bomb threat at LAX. in the article the niners are expecting him to get 8 games but are hoping for 4-6 game suspension.

    first off how do the feds not charge this guy with a crime being he made a bomb threat in a national airport? second how do you get 3 felonies (gun charges) dropped to misdemeanors? and the most disturbing getting a DUI at 6:30 in the morning all get reducedto where he spends 10 nites in jail and pays 2 thousand dollars in fines?

    john q. public would be looking at a year easy.

    and i believe goodell would face even more criticism if he goes lighter on smith than he does gordon. he's in a no-win situation right now considering how they dropped the ball on the ray rice deal.

    The Browns should sue the league for dragging this out so long. It is beyond ridiculous to put a team in this position. They have no idea what the receiver situation is and may not until the end of the preseason. There is no good reason for this to have not been settled months ago.
