No, it wouldn't if he's going to be suspended for the entire 2014 season, what practical difference does it make whether he is suspended this coming week or 3 weeks ago? The impact is the same. Then he starts over again as soon as this year is over - if he manages to stay clean.
He could re-apply for reinstatement before then, and if he stays clean I'd guess it would be granted.
You've also said you're going to laugh at everyone when he ends up playing all 16.And you've said 4-8 games. Lolol. Talk about a troll coveting all the bases.
Can you unpack this a little bit? Is the arbitror in his office with the lights out in his PJ's, refusing to come out and render a decision because of the fear?
They aren't scared. They want Gordon in there as much as the Browns do. They want Manziel-Gordon. They just can't figure out how to do it without opening a huge can of worms.
welcome to the dark side
even my most steadfast enemy has "admitted", in my defense, a few pages back that Ive always been steadfast in my 4-6 game prediction.

It's amazing that EVERY SINGLE Gordonite says this, but I've yet to see a single, rational explanation as to why it is so.
Alcohol evaporates fairly rapidly. We actually won't test for it more than 24 hours after collection. If a cap is left off of an alcohol sample for more than 30 minutes, you will start seeing a decrease in the result. We actually did a study with them stored at different temperatures, capped and uncapped, close to a light source, close to a window, ect, and it was pretty remarkable how important proper collection and storage is with them. If stored properly, the loss will be pretty negligible for the 3 day period they allow, but you will get a decreased value. The time frame for drugs depends on storage. We will run them for up to 24 hours if left at room temp if we have to, but cooling the sample directly after collection and keeping it cool is ideal. If refrigerated, we run them for up to a week, but honestly the sample would probably be good for longer. If frozen at -80C we will will test samples indefinitely, with presumably no loss. We haven't done a study, but these are our manufacturer's guidelines, and it's pretty standard in most labs.
I think all the signs are that he's not playing, but at some point between rounds 12-14 I'd happily roll the dice.
No one has any idea why it's taking so long.
exactly. i drafted him last night fully expecting it to be a wasted pick, but the risk/reward was enticing at a certain point.
FWIW I got burned last year with this type of (over?)analysis. Traded him for A.J. Green right before our trade deadline when Cleveland was losing and playing QB roulettte. Gordon instantly went off for his epic twin 200-yd games. Point is you can overthink things at some point. The dude is a beast.
This Ohio law stuff was hashed out several pages ago, but it's easy for it to get lost in the shuffle.DaveGrumbles said:

They have not failed an NFL sanctioned drug test.
Yeah, I thought that was a great defense argument too, no need for Suh on this one.
1-The CBA says they need to fail a test, not admit to using a banned substance.
iirc, the NFL can test at any time with probable cause, regardless of what stage a player is in.
This is not true, at least not with regards to the substance abuse policy. Unless more frequent tests are written into a player's individual contract, he can only be tested once in the pre-season (I believe this usually happens at the beginning of TC), unless he has already had a failed test, in which case he can be tested, randomly, anytime.
My initial response is more than your fishing trip even deserved. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, that you can see the difference between what Gordon is currently facing and what will happen with the Steeler duo, since earlier your position was that Gordon will not face a suspension for his DUI until the legal process plays out.
Seriously curious here.
