Josh Gordon needs to focus on fixing Josh Gordon. I hope he has the proper support structure to help him do it . Oh yeah! F-U Pats! Actually my Son in Law suffers from Crones & colitis very badly. He's only 36 & has to have treatments & be on some very nasty medications. Use to be a robust 190, now 155 lbs. No fault of his own. I have no sympathy for a guy that had the world in his hand & threw it away, sorry. And I agree F-U Pats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marijuana is legal, in one form or another, almost everywhere (if not legal the police look the other way). Bankers/Judges/Politicians can use as much pot as they want but not an NFL player who gets repeatedly injured throughout the year and many times suffer from mental issues. If a players gets arrested for illegally using marijuana and you want to suspend him for that, sure, but there is no reason to test for it. It is still illegal under federal law.

You can work for the NFL, make millions of dollars, and can't do certain illegal activities, which they will test for. You know it in advance, so if you (the player) can't follow the rules you were informed of, too bad. Did I say it wasn't in the CBA? I said the rule, whether in the CBA or not, is a dumb rule to have in any sports league. Marijuana should not be illegal and certainly shouldn't earn a player a suspension.

Jetmech Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 assuming they knew about the failed test before last Sundays game, kid has talent, no doubt, it's sad for him but f the pats* this will hurt them in playoffs I know but why take him out on the last play only especially they had to tie the game?Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Athletes who want to use should be able to. I don't disagree. However, as of right now, it is illegal. They know they are going to be tested. Hell, Josh knows he is going to be tested every 15 minutes. That is the rules if you want to be employed by the NFL. Every player knows it, so don't break the rules and then complain you disagree with them. If I go to work for a big company and they are going to pay me great money, and they say I have to wear a suit every day, and I can never drink alcohal, well then, I'm going clothes shopping, and I'm cleaning out my pantry.

Bruce Harper Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Two things that are sorta crazy about this: 1. The NFL still thinks that pot smoking is so bad that it has to ban people for it; and 2. Gordon couldn't keep off it for another year or two until he made some money and was ready to retire. I didn't realize that pot was that addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to imagine the two biggest sticking points for the next CBA will be drug tests and guaranteed contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themeangreenkillingmachine Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 Biggest waste of talent in the history of mankind. Josh Gordon could live off of snickers bars and booze and still look like a Greek god and run a 4.3 40. Some people feel bad for him. I despise him. What a waste of a life. Loser!

It will be interesting to see if the league modifies its position on this. I think they are going to have to change their view because the competing leagues are going to allow it to make their leagues more of a "players league". I think the strongest argument for allowing it is the pain pill epidemic that our country as a whole is facing. The taboo against weed is such a ridiculous notion that was developed to line the pockets of politicians and lobbyists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, Sessions rescinded the Cole Memo which basically said they were not going to prioritize marijuana prosecutions. They are fairly strict about interstate commerce and with teams playing in states that allow it vs. strict against it, it can cause issues. It also may prevent players from choosing teams based upon where weed is legal. If you get your news from SNL, you might think it is 100% legal. It is not.

themeangreenkillingmachine Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 maybe when marijuana is legalized federally and mainstream media starts targeting kids through marketing, Gordon can become a spokesperson for the marijuana industry, kind of like the Marlboro man. Kapernick cashed in on his demons with Nike. Gordon can do the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
