  • Come on "fans", Ye fickle fucks, trust in Gordon. Comeback player of the year.

    Have some faith. I believe in Gordon. I know many of you do not, and you never have.

    I have his back, he's been working his tail off, trying to get ready for the comeback he's about to make.

    Some people are what we like to call "haters", and these haters are everywhere and must be dealt with accordingly. People are always looking for a way to bash Gordon and it makes me sick. Will the world ever grow up? This report has got to be bogus... and yet, our own fans have turned their back on our best player... smh. When someone fires on your guy you are supposed to have their back, not turn on your own guy. From day one he's never been given the benefit of the doubt.

    Stay strong and prove them wrong. #1 in the League. #Webarktogether

    PG- I always thought Josh was an idiot for getting busted so many times, but an honest idiot. No longer. It matters not what your opinion- or my opinion of marijuana is. The league says you can't use it. FWIW, my former employer had random drug testing with a zero tolerance policy. You think I'd be stupid enough to light one up at the risk of losing my job? Well Josh is sure dumb enough- to use at the risk of literally- pissing away Tens of $$ Millions because he likes to get high. I'm not privy to all the specifics- but based on the MKC article- the league thinks he was trying to cheat on that drug test. If they didn't- he'd already be reinstated. For the general population pot may not be addictive- but for that 1% it sure is. Josh needs rehab as much as the enabler he's currently hanging out with Johnny Former-Football.

    Zero surprise Mike- it's time to move on. How many drug tests has he failed? I've lost count.

    What was that 60s song?

    Anybody here seen my old friend Josh, can you tell me where he's gone?

    Sittin' on the porch with Justin and Johnny smokin' weed and gettin' drunk.

    Why hasn't he been officially released yet?

    He has until August first to prove himself. Apparently Goodell gave him until then to clean up his act and prove he can stay clean. The NFL really wants him to come back I guess.

    I think the reason he isnt going to have his suspension lengthened is because hes not really in the NFL so the fail doesnt really "count".

    It's an indefinite suspension, he was just allowed to apply for reinstatement after 1 year.

    they must or they are just abiding by the rules set forth by the CBA. i would think that's the only reason his keister isn't on the streets looking for other work.

    the browns and the NFL must be crazy to think that now, after all this time, he will clean up his act in a 3 month span. or let's say he goes away in a box for 3 months and tests clean and is reinstated.........who's rollin with gordon given his history concerning this matter going back to HS and who knows what he was doing then? wasn't he popped like 3 times before we drafted him? and what 3 times (now with a diluted test) after?

    uh......... 😵 :wacko:

    Where'd you get this info?

    I don't think it's far fetched to think the NFL wants us to have this. Having a team this bad isn't good for the league.

    Gordon can apply for reinstatement again on August 1.

    Goodell will make his decision within 60 days, so by October he could be a Brown again.

    The link is ESPN.

    But, we can assume Gordon will continue to live with Manziel and throw his life away. Party On, Garth!

    Indefinite ban, not suspension, hence the application for reinstatement.

    A brief history...

    October 20, 2010 - at Baylor, he and teammate Willie Jefferson are found asleep in Taco Bell

    drive-thru. Police found marijuana in Jefferson's car. Jefferson, who was

    driving, was kicked off team because it's his 2nd violation. Gordon suspended.

    July 2011 - Gordon suspended indefinitely for failing drug test and testing positive for

    marijuana.

    August 2011 - transfers to Utah

    2012 - fails drug test. Suspended. Declares for NFL Supplemental Draft. Tell's Plain Dealer

    he's a "changed person".

    June 2013 - suspended first 2 games for violating NFL substance abuse program. Tested

    positive for codeine.

    July 5, 2014 - arrested in NC for driving while impaired. Suspended for 10 games. Plays in 5 games

    and looks like he could give less than a fuck.

    January 2015 - suspended for entire 2015 season.

    April 2016 - test positive for marijuana and dilution.

    You haters/fickle fans need to back off and give the kid a chance.

    Gordon agent wants probe into who leaked the

    failed drug test.

    another lawsuit waiting to happen.

    dump the stupid bastidge, isn't worth

    trading him after he ever gets reinstated,

    for a very low 7th round draft pick,

    and that's iffy.

    This.

    Add to the above the fact that he takes plays off & hangs out with Manziel.

    Come on young players...see what the Browns will tolerate if you're talented! Party Central!

    Bullshit! Send the message that, regardless of talent level, track records such as Gordon's will NOT be tolerated in Cleveland.

    IMO, it can cost us PLENTY to keep waiting.

    Interesting article claiming his tests weren't a fail by the standards in place.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/04/12/josh-gordon-pushing-for-investigation-of-confidentiality-breach/

    The investigation is to leaking of medical records and the articles written stating its a failed test. Also we seem to be reacting to BS reports him and Manziel are rooming together. Seems that they are NOT roommates. I thinks its the media's way to stay relevant.

    He is talented, and other than the drugs- isn't a character risk. I could see this.

    Mik- I agree- even if he tests totally clean, and gets reinstated in August- should the Browns take a chance on him? Hmmmmm. He'd probably have more value to the team than some Street FA hanger-on. My feeling- take him on, but count on him as much as you would a Practice Squad guy. He gets busted again- it's time to dump him.
