JoeKlecko Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 So it gives him time to get into playing shape and learn the offense. As KS said, it wasn't unexpected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'll have to do it on his own since I believe when a player is suspended they aren't allowed to have any contact with the team while they are suspended.

kelticwizard Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 i guess the NFL won't let him plead not guilty I guess if he went to rehab he's virtually admitting he used drugs and/or excessive alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whodeawhodat Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 muther fvcker... Oh well, I am sure he will be a welcomed addition after our 4th game.

KSJets Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Now that I think about it, I think the rules when you're suspended are different if it's for substance abuse as opposed to PED's. I think if it's PED's you're barred from having contact with the team and substance abuse is that you just can't practice with the team. At least I think that's what it is which would explain how he can still attend meetings and workout at the facility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn306 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 A nice look at Goodson rap sheet http://deadspin.com/jets-running-back-returns-to-team-is-immediately-suspe-1207015632 Jets Running Back Returns To Team, Is Immediately Suspended Related Rex Ryan Melts Down In Press Conference I'm not sure a preseason game can ever be described as good, but they can definitely be bad and the Jets performance Saturday night was about as … Read… Jets fans, are you still feeling bummed out about Mark Sanchez's injury, Rex Ryan's mini-meltdown, and the general ineptitude of your favorite football team? Well cheer up, because here comes some good news. Running back Mike Goodson has finally returned to the team after missing training camp due to personal issues. Goodson, who was signed in the off season, is a talented back who should really help solidify the Jets' backf—oh wait I'm sorry he's just been suspended for four games. Goodson rejoined the Jets last night after being taken off the team's active/non-football injury list and was then immediately suspended by the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy. At this point, it appears that the Jets are incapable of creating good news. Goodson's suspension also led to this wonderful ESPN New York story about his past legal troubles, which contains so many sad, Jets-y paragraphs that it's difficult to decide which one is the Jetsiest of all. Let's try, though: At the time of the arrest, [Goodson] was so intoxicated that he was taken to a nearby hospital, according to police reports. He was the passenger in a vehicle that was stopped in the middle of Interstate 80 in New Jersey. Police say he was incoherent and had vomited on himself. Getting so drunk that you pass out and vomit on yourself? That's pretty sad, but not Mark Sanchez-buttfumbling sad. Let's keep going: Earlier, while with the Panthers, Goodson was sued three times by two apartment complexes in the Charlotte area, which demanded unpaid rent—ranging from $1,413 to $2,744, records show. In the two of the suits, records show he received eviction notices. An NFL player failing to pay rent that is less than what a lot of New Yorkers pay? That's definitely just as Jets-y as Joe McKnight's sad journey through training camp, which ended with his release and this tweet. And yet, neither of those paragraphs can compare to this one: Jets owner Woody Johnson, speaking to reporters in June, said the team was willing to give Goodson a fair shake. "We're trying to win games and do the right thing," he said. "Truth, justice and the American way." God bless the Jets.
