Villain The Foe Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 36 minutes ago, Sperm Edwards said: Except that isn't what is going on, otherwise he wouldn't have even shown up for the drug test in the first place. If he passed it, he'd have played. Therefore, he wants to play, wants to get paid, and is too much of a dumbass to not get high while trying to get reinstated from an "indefinite" suspension. I hear where you're coming from, and that could have validity for some, but those people walk away from the game outright. They don't fail drug tests while trying to get reinstated. He's an idiot. He doesnt want to play, if he did he'd be doing what he needed to in order to play. This is why I said that "since he wants to smoke he should just stop wasting the Browns time and officially retire since he already has given his actions". My intention isnt to get in the way of people wanting to call him an idiot, I dont know him personally. Im just saying its obvious that smoking is more important to him, so he needs to officially retire so the Browns can move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the problem: you are trying to apply logic and rational thought to him, and he is undeserving of such credit from you. And there you have it and that's why people are calling him an idiot. Because he's an idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile to know that people still give their money to places like Morgan Stanley even after 2006-2008 goes to show that Jetnation is NOT a place to get financial advice lol.

On top of that, it's legal in some states. Plus how come the Feds needed a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol but they're able to just ban weed without one? It's all a bad joke. One day we will look back on this era and wonder what the heck people were thinking. It's not about weed. It's about following the conditions of employment.

I'm intrigued. Also, Gordon was one of my favorite players in the league three years ago. He was electric to watch, plus he turned a middling fantasy season into first place in my league that one season when I took a chance on him and drafted him, even knowing he'd be suspended the first four games. Was really excited for him to come back this year. smh. What a maroon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like you have to actually put effort into somehow being this devoid of even the slightest bit of human intelligence. At this point, he's out of the league. No team will waste a roster spot on a guy who's now going to be looking at his third straight year of suspension. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL never again even reinstates him. And how many years can you take off and still be a good player if and when you come back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The short story is that on the heels of the global economic crisis, Villian was espousing the benefits of gold as the only true vehicle for maintaining value or wealth etc. as the US $ was basically going to be as worthless as your basic store brand single ply toilet paper. There are mutiple threads where Villian was imploring everyone to jump aboard the ark (or spaceship?) before the financial system completely imploded with no hope of recovery. Fast forward a couple of years and the dollar has recovered and is kicking ass against most currencies (see: Euro) and gold has basically nose dived into the side of a mountain in a spectacular ball of flame. TBH, gold has started to recover a little bit, but the lesson for Villian (and all of us) is never bet long term against the almighty dollar!!!

Ex-Rex Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 Who gives a rats a$$? If drugs are more important to him than an NFL career that's his choice. Eventually the money will run out and so will the ability to buy drugs. Then he will have to do what the thousands upon thousands incarcerated for drug offenses already know...steal, rip off and eventually stand tall before the judge. Screw Josh Gordon.
