If Rapelisberger was a Brown Gipper would be first in line to blow him.

All this talk about he needs help is bullshit, for one weed is legal in a bunch of states now so now it's main stream so who cares. Two he was .01 over the limit that's one gulp of beer. How many of you fuckers leave the stadium blowed out of your skulls and drive. I don't think he's a bad kid just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. And let's remember the test he got fought on was an off season test and random due to his prior trouble. Fact is when it comes to reacrational drugs the league tells you when it's coming unless your on probation. If weed is all he had in his body that's a good thing. How many player are swimming in a sea of cocain a large number. Now I'm not saying he should not be punished. Nor should he be suspended. Give him a financal hit and help him tighten up a bit and let's play football. Fact is a lot of America smokes or has tried pot. And about 60% of people that leave a restaurant that had a drink with dinner are over the legal limit. So let's grow up shut the fuck up and watch him play

It's not about smoking weed it's about he can't or won't stop... like someon else on here said there's people that quit smoking weed to get a minimum wage job and this dumbass has all the god given talent in the world and can't stay clean to make millions. Gordon's problem isn't marijuana josh gordon's problem is josh gordon.

I really hope the Cavs hang on to Wiggins...We can get Love in FA next year.. There's no reason to lose your mind over this...

I hope not either they reported that the Cavs told Wiggins he won't be traded but you never know. I'm starting to lean on not trading for him at all because I want to hang on to Dion and Thompson too and see how much better they get now that Lebron is here.

I'd rather they not sell the farm for Love especially since he's a free agent after this season. Wiggins could be the heir to Lebron after he's done and Waiters is the muscle we need a guy like him. Lebron is going to make all these guys better, we already have the East locked down no need to sell out the future for a short term big 3. I hope Melo signs with the Heat and we see a Cavs vs Heat 2015 eastern conference finals.

Hearing news about all these former Heat guys might sign here, Ray Allen maybe,Birdman yes.. but let's not overdue it I hated the Heat not trying to turn the Cavs into the Heat reincarnated.

Word is several Miami Heat fans were asked how they felt about Lebron leaving and they were shocked to learn that he's playing for Cleveland now.

Even though I hated "The Bronx Tale", the moral of that story is the case again here. "The saddest thing in life is wasted talent".

“Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

―Calvin Coolidge

Well at least Gordon is persistent.... & smoking the most expensive marijuana in history

rip zeus

Heard on the radio that Bitonio got his leg trapped in a pile yesterday and limped off. Wasn't around for team activities today, let's hope it's nothing serious.

Really excited about the run game this season,been wanting this system here for years now back when I was touting Rick Dennison instead of Shurmur.

Carry my pads rookie.

Carry this weed too...

Ha!

I'm happy we got Manziel and all but these Johnny Football Fanboy Fags gotta go.. Tim Tebow and Jimmer Fredette..lmao... do you have their fatheads in your closet now and Manziels over your bed now? gtfo

Couldn't care less if Haslam did order the pick but I'll say that the OC did a dumb thing by opening his mouth in the interview.

I like Zegura and listen to Browns Daily often but it's hardly a reliable source if your are after some objective info since they're both employed by the Browns.

It's just media bullshit... something to talk about.

The Steelers will sign him.

That would be Cleveland's Murphy's Law wouldn't it?

He goes to Pittsburgh and becomes Hines Ward reincarnated

@d-bone said:

I love the direction this ship is starting to head in. We're not totally on course yet, but I can clearly see what our FO & coach want this team to be.

If we get consistent QB play this year I hope the improvement in the run game outweighs the loss of Gordon and his home run threat presence.

With consistent QB play and a seemingly vastly improved running game the offense should be better in 15 even without Gordon.

I hate that money-sign he keeps doing

When he's doing it in the Steelers endzone after scoring a touchdown you won't

Comfort food for some who can't believe the Browns could be so stupid to misuse yet another #22 overall in the draft: LOL

Man what was that idiotic garbage? It's the same spew those blowhards loudmouthed idiots on ESPN are rabbling with their not so subtle shots at Cleveland.

The Browns have a plan to groom Manziel accordingly and not throw him to the wolves in the first three games, if he wins the job fair and square so be it and get it done.

But don't let the media get you pumped up with their ridiculous campaign that Manziel is entitled to anything, if he earns it he'll get it.

They're doing it smart I trust Farmer & Pettine.

I read the NFL Substance Abuse Policy (linked)

http://images.nflplayers.com/mediaResources/files/PDFs/PlayerDevelopment/2010%20Drug%20Policy.pdf

According to this, Gordon should still only be in Stage 2 since he has only been suspended once following a positive test, last season. According to the policy, now IF there is a 2nd failed test, he should be suspended SIX games and advanced to Stage 3. IF he is to fail a test while in Stage 3, he faces "banishment" from the NFL for at least 1 season.

After doing some digging, the only source I found stating that Gordon is in Stage 3 was the "brilliant" Mary Kay Cabot who has no evidence or reason to have announced that; however, 20+ other internet sources have "quoted" her assumption, thus leading everybody in the NFL world to believe that Gordon is facing a year-long banishment.

Gordon's official status is confidential, according to the policy. So, considering the league was generous enough to decrease his initial suspension from the mandatory 4 games, to 2 games last season (which I have not found another example of them doing); they will MOST LIKELY levy the mandatory SIX GAME SUSPENSION, without pay, in this case, PLUS advancement to Stage 3.

Gordon has the right to appeal, of course. It is interesting b/c there IS an official appeals process, but there ISN'T anything stating results of appeals other than "the commissioner has final say no 'ifs, ands, or buts' about it (paraphrasing)." Maybe Goodel likes Gordon (based on decreasing his last suspension) and will do something similar this year. OR, maybe Gordon and his team have enough to dispute the charge all together.

We will see...

From what I read from that dingbat Cabot or maybe the other equally incompetent Tom Reed is that the first violation is basically a slap on the wrist no consequence and confidential. Haven't checked the policy yet I'll have to give it a look.
