He's perpetually on the "Totally gonna be a DE1" lists year to year, but constantly disappoints. He's currently seeing about 50% of the snaps (and doing badly). Is there any hope for him, especially for dynasty, or is it time to just jettison?
Lifetime bans come after a second indefinite suspension. I think Blackmon is closer to that fate than Gordon at this point, but I'm not sure.
Also, on the DUI, that probably falls under the personal conduct policy, not the substance abuse policy (he wasn't caught drunk/high by the NFL), so...
I usually just name my single seasonal redraft after current events
Last year I had Sandusky's Tight Ends, this year I've got Jerry Jones' Bathroom Orgy
Even beyond the money, isn't the rule something like 2 indefinite bans = lifetime ban? Even if it ended up being 15 games and 59 minutes it'd skirt any of the massive penalties.
Most people think that we won't hear anything today. Wouldn't surprise me if it goes most of the week without news, but one can hope.
That fieldandcourt lawyer guy has another post on the likely outcome of a guilty verdict...
It is my understanding that there is a hearing today, and then they have 5 or 10 days to actually come back with the verdict. I'd honestly be shocked if there's any decision one way or the other until after the HoF weekend just because the NFL wouldn't want the distraction during their ceremony.
I don't know about "correct" info, but in Blackmon's case Cecil Shorts said he attempted to contact Blackmon on several occasions without success, which would at least imply that the players are permitted to contact him. Seems if he wasn't the Jaguars would have had their PR people address the...
You know, I still don't know what the media keeps trying to say with this argument. "We're real mad Rice only got 2 games, what's with the lax discipline?!" followed immediately by "We're gonna be real mad if they're not lax on discipline with Gordon!"
As far as I know the current appeal is...
They're both CBA. One's the substance abuse policy one's the personal conduct policy, both sets of suspensions come from goodell and he has leeway for both.
Remember that the NFL has a rich history of not giving a #### about violence against women (or dogs or bodyguards). Bounties and drugs are the only things they go after because those actually affect the on field product. Helpful chart from sportsonearth:
