Sad, but the Browns have been without him so long at this point. It's time for the other receivers to step up.

What the fuck why?
Because he's a fuck up.What the fuck why?

Right, and I don't mind having him formally not a part of the plan. But I'd REALLY like to hear how a dude like Martavis Bryant got reinstated but Gordon did not. They quite literally were out of the league for the same crime. I know I know Gordon had more violations than Gordon, but still.

"... he can reapply in the fall, a league source told cleveland.com."
I believe I had that one. Even I am starting to think Roger has it in for us...
Also reading a lot more finality in Sashi's words at end of the CLE.com article... but not sure how the words square with continuing to keep his rights.

Leveon Bell has every bit as many offenses as Gordon...yet he has gotten what? All of three games. And Gordon is getting like 3 years.
I would sue if I were Gordon....at least to get to the bottom of why the hell he is being jerked around so much...in comparison to other players who have had equal or more issues than he.
Unless, of course, there really is something that has happened since that we all do not know about.
Sorry...but, to me, it seems to me like Gordon is being held to a much stricter standard than anyone else in this league, and it is a matter of equity now...fair and equal treatment.
If he never plays for the Browns again, it still seems a matter of him being held hostage by the leauge...over and above how they treat other similar players.
Didn't they just reinstate that Steeler scumbag?

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

I guess there's "finality', and then there's "finality"...
But Browns head of football operations Sashi Brown, who has Gordon's rights for two seasons after he's reinstated, left the door open in March for Gordon to return.
Color me confused... and considering we're back to having two years of his rights, even double-confused...

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.

Up in Smoke. That's where his money goes. In his lungs & sometimes Up his Nose..Every Body must be stoned
Gordo is,& always has been a stoner to relieve his anxiety. Little Faggot with the big jet airplane Roger Goddell wants triple dope offenders to at least follow the 1st steps like Martavis Bryant. Sad but true. Martavis Bryant as a offender #1. admitted to his issue. #2. Did not wait, went voluntary straight into Rehab Physicality. #3. Obviously proved to league owner with documentation & Rehab time spent that he has earned his chance towards 2nd Chance...WTF has Josh done for Josh to prove anything & NFL? #1. decided to walked from his team to rehab. #2 Spent under a week in Rehab. #3. to dilute his first reinstatement test. Oh and here..have another maternity case..#4.to "Hey he's out till Fall"....Get this Brown Shit Stain out of here & move on..

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.
