Gordon fails another drug test

[PantherFanOne]

This is the same WR Josh Gordan, a lot of Panther fans wanted us to try to get. This is a prime example of a player with personal problems that teams need to stay away from,no matter what talent level they have.

Or even being in an establishment that makes it's primary earnings off liquor sales, i.e., liquor store, bar, nightclub...

At least that my terms were.

Yep. My POs used to troll bars on weekends looking for people

[Mr. Scot]

Would still trade a 7th for him

For what? A Super Bowl run in 2016?

Trading for a guy who's suspended an entire season would be pretty useless.

[JARROD]

Man, what a waste. What a spit in the face of physical gifts that 99.9% wish we had.

He will no doubt waste his monies and be penniless within 3 seasons also. Has he played enough yet for a pension?

I hope not. Fool

Josh Gordon banned for alcohol but we'll get 8,000 beer ads Sunday.

Josh Gordon Booze Does NOT Violate Probation ... Court Says

"He might be banned from the NFL, but Josh Gordon did NOT violate his probation by reportedly testing positive for alcohol ... The Cleveland Browns wide receiver was sentenced to 12 months unsupervised probation stemming from a DWI arrest in North Carolina back in July 2014. The 23-year-old was given a 60 day suspended sentence -- meaning if he violated his probation, he'll have to serve 60 days in the slammer. High stakes.

...

an official from Wake County Superior Court tells us ... "there are no regulations on alcohol consumption" mentioned in the terms of his probation. "Therefore, any failed NFL test for alcohol would have no bearing on his probation."The official also told us Gordon has had no issues regarding his probation thus far."

Josh Gordon facing 1 year ban for testing positive for alcohol.

Which begs the question: Was it Bud Light: The Official Beer

of the NFL?

[RJK]

all this and he's still a stud football player. maybe stop worrying about 23 years old millionaires smoking pot and drinking as long as they stay outta jail and aren't hurting anyone? nah that would be common sense. can't have that. lets just ruin this kids career for something he does in his off time

[Mr. Scot]

Few things come off sounding as utterly goofy as portraying Gordon like he's some kind of victim of the NFL.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Use PEDs... no big deal

 

Punch wife in the face... no big deal

 

Drink a Smirnoff Ice... LIFETIME BAN!!! WE HAVE A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD!

I guess the NFL isn't really Up For Whatever™ like their #1 sponsor would have you believe.

You also said you'd "give up potato chips if the League said I had to." Gordon has a long history of being a problem, at Baylor he kept getting in trouble, then transferred to Utah and got in trouble, goes to the NFL and gets in trouble. He's a bad apple, that's why he's getting treated so heavily-handed

Throughout my sheltered life living in white upper-middle class America, I know plenty of very very good people with great jobs that I respect and admire that smoke pot, drink, drink and drive, have a DUI, and their careers aren't ruined for it. Same with the good people in the NFL like that, I'd hope.

If Josh Gordon scares you, add in a domestic assault and you

have DGB. Big risk for NFL teams.

[Mol3m4n]

I'm not saying that none of this is Gordon's fault, but his circumstances are a product a messed up system.
