Yeah, I'm being silly. Although if someone wanted to be argumentative, they could say that today's weed is about as natural as Roundup Ready soybeans, corn, etc. which most people think are quite unnatural. I think a better approach is to talk about the societal benefits vs risks of the plant.Everything is a result of the universe, but the word isn't limited to that definition.Everything is natural.
You realize you used this same rationale with the appeal right? That his stud legal team wouldn't have taken this case if it wasn't something they would win?Have to believe that IF Gordon's team is taking this to court, it's already been worked on for weeks now...
It'd also be amazing if the rams signed Tim Tebow and he broke all of Manning's records while at the same time Micheal Sam broke Strahan's sack record as a rookie, on the way to another improbable cinderella Rams super bowl winIt would be amazing if he got the injunction and motivated, blew the F up just for the drama.

Maybe that's why "his" statement reads the way it does...Have to believe that IF Gordon's team is taking this to court, it's already been worked on for weeks now...

what does NJ stand for?NJ said:Watching NFL Network and Ian Rapoport just said that the suspension is for the 2014 season, specifically said it was NOT 365 days and he is eligible to return to the team earlier than 1 calendar year if he keeps his nose clean.
I'll take "never"zandbak said:Anyone taking bet on when the injunction will be?
He can't have any contact with the team.At this point, maybe we can shift the conversation back to his prospects going forward. Does Cleveland release him? Is there a plan in place to keep him out of trouble?
Is there a financial benefit for the Browns to cut him? Can they trade him?He can't have any contact with the team.No reason for the Beowns to cut him.At this point, maybe we can shift the conversation back to his prospects going forward. Does Cleveland release him? Is there a plan in place to keep him out of trouble?
[/Ohio Law]2711.04 Appointment of arbitrator.
If, in the arbitration agreement, provision is made for a method of naming or appointing an arbitrator or an umpire, such method shall be followed.
what is NY law? Where did the hearing occur? We know the NFL offices are thereMaybe Gordon can argue that Henderson is not actually an 'arbitrator' but...

Can you say arena football?For those wondering when Josh Gordon's legal team will do this and that.... are the Browns subsidizing this legal battle?
Pretty sure his 2 mill signing bonus is spent and he didn't collect a whole bunch of game checks because of missed games.
He's going to also collect nothing in salary for the rest of 2014...
No. Gordon doesn't get paid and he doesn't take up a roster spot. Literally no incentive to cut him.Is there a financial benefit for the Browns to cut him? Can they trade him?He can't have any contact with the team.No reason for the Beowns to cut him.At this point, maybe we can shift the conversation back to his prospects going forward. Does Cleveland release him? Is there a plan in place to keep him out of trouble?
No. No reason for them to I don't believe. I don't think he counts towards the roster, they don't have to pay him anything. If they want him to play for them again, no reason to.At this point, maybe we can shift the conversation back to his prospects going forward. Does Cleveland release him?
Yes. Just because the Browns can't be working with him directly doesn't mean they didn't set up support for him for the suspension:Is there a plan in place to keep him out of trouble?
Browns preparing support system for Josh GordonWide receiver facing potential season-long suspension Aaron Wilson

Cleveland Browns star wide receiver Josh Gordon is facing a potential season-long suspension for violating the NFL drug policy.
He has appealed the suspension, and lawyers have pleaded his case.
It's now in the hands of the NFL.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, the Browns are making plans for Gordon should be he separated from the team.
The Browns encouraged Gordon to seek treatment after his driving while intoxicated arrest. They have also talked to John Lucas about care for Gordon.
IIRC this is technically the 'lifetime' ban. But players can apply for reinstatement and typically get it if they haven't been in trouble.matttyl said:So the next screw up is a full lifetime ban, correct? Any chance of a conviction on the DUI charge (pushed to November) being that next screw up? Could have already have a lifetime suspension without any further infractions?
Up to 10 times a month.OK, so how many times per month does Gordon have to piss in a cup now? This dude is essentially unemployed now with lots and lots of free time. I presume he's still rich (or at least he thinks he is). These are bad combinations.
No offense, but do his fans really want him to sue? I think what he could "do" for his fans is to obey the rules, be a good role model, and stay on the field for his team.Soulfly3 said:Do it, JMoney!!!!!Saboo said:Looks like Gordon is strongly considering suing the NFL

Do it for your fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
if i were in your shoes i would do both.The General said:Just landed in Seattle, cross country flight that got me up way to early. Gonna finish up a bit of work, get a light workout in, pickup some stuff to grill and then decide if I want to smoke a bowl or have a bourbon.
I can only speak for myself, but as a fan, I want to see TDs and amazing catches. I don't care if he's a role model and I don't care if he smokes week in his free time. I also feel that he has no obligation to me, simply because I am a fan.No offense, but do his fans really want him to sue? I think what he could "do" for his fans is to obey the rules, be a good role model, and stay on the field for his team.
You could have emailed a real estate agent in the time it took you to type that.HERE'S A LAWSUIT FOR YOU!!! AND YOU! AND YOU!AND YOU! AND YOU! AND YOU!

From checking out his Twitter feed, I highly doubt he admitted his argument was wrong. He seems to believe 100% that Gordon should file for a TRO and would win.Maurile Tremblay said:I'm told that the author admitted on twitter that his main argument (about Ohio law) was wrong.

Right. But at some point, rules have to matter and violating rules over and over have to matter. Players supported the rules and punishments. Gordon valued pot over catching TDs for his team and making money. He's an idiot and this is the unfortunate and inevitable consequence.And don't fret too much. You'll see plenty of TDs this year.I can only speak for myself, but as a fan, I want to see TDs and amazing catches.
