you can get a whole lb of weed for 2 grand around here.Can Rappaport get word to Gordon that I’ll give him two grand or a 1/4 lb. of weed for his Super Bowl ring? His choice.

Just keep an eye out around the area pawn shops. It'll be available soon enough.Can Rappaport get word to Gordon that I’ll give him two grand or a 1/4 lb. of weed for his Super Bowl ring? His choice.
Just wish I could hide it somehow. Another year of soul schtick is more than I can take.Elevencents said:440 pages. Unreal. Wish he would just retire already so this thread isn’t bumped for another entire offseason.
NFL.com's Tom Pelissero reports suspended WR Martavis Bryant could be reinstated before the start of training camp.
Pelissero reports the same is true for Josh Gordon, something Ian Rapoport hinted at on Super Bowl Sunday. Per Pelissero, the NFLPA could have the ball moving on reinstatement by May. All of this is contingent on Bryant and Gordon having no more slip ups.

Who says it was weed? It could have been anything. Including harder stuff -- don't get me wrong.
Love Gordon. Want him to get better. That's all his supporters ask for.
It won't let me quote the above post, but I've sort of given up on him playing and hope he can just put it together as a person. Sounds like he was using hard drugs. That's not good.
They don’t release the results of the drug tests. A bunch of naive people assume it’s pot.His use is a known. Go to page #### - it is in here somewhere ad nauseum. That is one of the reasons the team is sticking with him (it isn't a "harder" drug). Besides his freak abilities. There is going to a new NFL marijuana policy in place soon and he will likely benefit from it.

He then attended and graduated from Lamar High, a public school in Houston.voiceofunreason said:They don’t release the results of the drug tests. A bunch of naive people assume it’s pot.
Some people will beilieve lieterally anything. This stuff is all a long time ago."Gordon earned a basketball scholarship at Westbury Christian, a prep school in Houston, but was thrown out in the 10th grade for marijuana. He then attended and graduated from Lamar High, a public school in Houston.
At Lamar, Gordon said he joined a gang, Six Deuce Harvard Park Brim Blood, which involved carrying and shooting a gun — never “maliciously,” he said — stealing cars, fighting, scamming businesses with counterfeit money, and dealing drugs.
Gordon said he sold drugs, mainly marijuana, to “feed” himself. He said he smoked marijuana every day and drank vodka from Minute Maid bottles during class. He said he also started drinking codeine syrup mixed with soda his junior year [his last year at school] and experimented with Xanax, hydrocodone, and oxycodone at nearly every opportunity [Baylor was put on probation right after he graduated, if I remember correctly].
As a sophomore, Gordon was arrested mid-season when police found him and teammate Willie Jefferson asleep in a car parked in the drive-thru lane of a Taco Bell at 2 a.m. Officers found multiple bags of marijuana in the car, and both players were charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, though the charges were dropped. Gordon’s coach at the time, Art Briles, also suspended him. Gordon played in 13 games, recording 42 catches for 714 yards and seven touchdowns that season.
While at Baylor, Gordon said a dealer from home would send him as much as six pounds of weed per week that he would sell in Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. He estimates he banked over $10,000 per month from dealing."

"2014: Prior to the start of the 2014 season, Gordon was arrested for a DWI in Raleigh, N.C. According to police, he was pulled over just before 3 a.m. for driving 50 mph in a 35 mph zone. His blood-alcohol level was .09 — .01 over the legal limit. Two months after Gordon’s arrest, the NFL announced he had been suspended the entire 2014 season for a failed drug test (marijuana). The suspension was later reduced to 10 games due to the league’s reformed drug policy."Some people will beilieve lieterally anything. This stuff is all a long time ago.

You know what I meant. Moved on? Is that better? Left for the NFL?"Graduated"? What's this now?
I think getting kicked out of college and graduating college is an important distinction. Maybe that's just me thoughYou know what I meant. Moved on? Is that better? Left for the NFL?
Semantics. Doesn't affect the thrust of what I was trying to say.
Today I learned that I technically have two degrees!I think getting kicked out of college and graduating college is an important distinction. Maybe that's just me though
Certified Cecerone Server doesn't count, guy.Today I learned that I technically have two degrees!
That risk/reward balance hasn't worked out well for Gordon owners the past several seasons.If the Pats are still with Gordon, so should fantasy players. That organization doesn't hesitate to cut a player or let them walk. We all know it's a gamble, but the risk/reward should be there for many (not all) owners.
All depends when you bought and sold. He's made me a profit multiple times...and I just bought low again via FA. His cost to acquire right now is minimal.That risk/reward balance hasn't worked out well for Gordon owners the past several seasons.
You're probably the exception. Not to mention all of the opportunity costs that have been wasted on him with roster spots.All depends when you bought and sold. He's made me a profit multiple times...and I just bought low again via FA. His cost to acquire right now is minimal.
This is probably me. I cut Doug Baldwin while keeping Gordon. Hard to say if exactly what I would have done if I had Gordon's roster spot, but that's the only drop I remember regretting while having him since a rookie.You're probably the exception. Not to mention all of the opportunity costs that have been wasted on him with roster spots.
He has always looked good. Staying on the field is the only issue.Not for nuttin...He is looking fast...running in water...He looks like he is catching the ball well...with one hand...

There is a reason the Pats tagged him and let Hogan walk. One thing the Pats are not is dumb..He has always looked good. Staying on the field is the only issue.
Imagine how many easy paychecks Justin Blackmon could have got posting stupid videos on Instagram of him working out. Amazing that he is still under contract with a team.Not for nuttin...He is looking fast...running in water...He looks like he is catching the ball well...with one hand...

Those two will go down together as some of the finest wasted talent the modern league has ever seen.Imagine how many easy paychecks Justin Blackmon could have got posting stupid videos on Instagram of him working out. Amazing that he is still under contract with a team.
Then in 20 years kids will look at it and wonder how people got fired for smoking weed.Those two will go down together as some of the finest wasted talent the modern league has ever seen.
I'm totally with you on that. Or got suspended for drinking without some form of arbitration and civil due process.Then in 20 years kids will look at it and wonder how people got fired for smoking weed.
Josh Gordon is an alcoholic that pops pills and does coke. If the people in this thread realized that four years ago they would have been better off.Then in 20 years kids will look at it and wonder how people got fired for smoking weed.
Indeed. He's a person whose priorities are drinking first and football a distant second, at best.Blackmon is also an alcoholic
I guess my point being is pointing to the ridiculousness (which it is) of a marijuana suspension doesn’t apply to either of these individuals. They are wasting their talent due to true addiction. If we want to offer forgiveness to someone’s career due to marijuana we should be posting in the Ricky Williams and David Irving threads.Indeed. He's a person whose priorities are drinking first and football a distant second, at best.
It's not mutually exclusive to say that he wasted his talents for the drink like Gordon wasted his for booze and drugs.
Ah, okay. I missed your broader point. That's very true, and not something I'd argue against. They are both clearly addicted to toxic substances of some sort.I guess my point being is pointing to the ridiculousness (which it is) of a marijuana suspension doesn’t apply to either of these individuals.

No. He is a guy who has publicly admitted trying those drugs during his last year (junior year) at Baylor. He has been very public about what he is addicted to. He is a pot addict. Maybe you should read the thread. And look at some of the sources. That is why the League keeps letting him back into the league. If it was anything stronger, if Josh Gordon didn't have otherwise impeccable character, he would have been gone a long time ago.Bojang0301 said:Josh Gordon is an alcoholic that pops pills and does coke.

Maybe you should. He's admitted to coke or the proverbial "harder stuff" than pot.And look at some of the sources.
Yeah. He's used other drugs. But he's addicted to pot.Maybe you should. He's admitted to coke or the proverbial "harder stuff" than pot.
Which means coke or opiates. Either way, he's used narcotics.
based on his history, i’m surprised some people are still this optimistic on his prospects.Gordon will be back playing with the Patriots this season. And if getting a Super Bowl ring is wasting his talent, I want some of that kind of waste.
I'm stunned the Patriots both gave him a ring and placed a tender on him. And no, even his more ardent supporters like myself see little hope for his football future.based on his history, i’m surprised some people are still this optimistic on his prospects.
Excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses. It’s been a half decade man. Do you believe in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus too?No. He is a guy who has publicly admitted trying those drugs during his last year (junior year) at Baylor.

The Patriots aren't stupid. Gordon will be back playing with the Patriots this season. And if getting a Super Bowl ring is wasting his talent, I want some of that kind of waste.
He got a Super Bowl ring last year. Seems like he is managing his career just fine.Excuses, excuses, excuses, excuses. It’s been a half decade man. Do you believe in the Easter bunny and Santa Claus too?
So he graduated in 3 years. Must be a really bright guy.No. He is a guy who has publicly admitted trying those drugs during his last year (junior year) at Baylor.

Or he was getting a good discount on weed.He got a Super Bowl ring last year. Seems like he is managing his career just fine.
So what if Gordon smoked pot and experimented in college. More than half the people I know have smoked pot and experimented with other drugs in college. He isn't a crackhead. He isn't a heroin addict. There is a reason Tom Brady liked having Gordon's locker next to his. It is because Gordon is a cerebral, hollistic football junkie and a freak athlete who is under an unprecedented media microscope because of who he was coming out of Baylor. The league shows him latitude precisely because he is not some hardened criminal or a strung out junkie or even an alcoholic. .
Honestly, I think what you are saying says more about you than Gordon. There is a reason the Patriots tagged him with a 2nd round tender.
Doubt Brady is interested....and if he were I doubt he is concerned about a discount.Or he was getting a good discount on weed.
I know plenty of smart people that didn't graduate from college. He left early. I KNOW you know the story and are just fishing. Baylor went on suspension right after he left. That place was a mad house. And then he went to Cleveland.....So he graduated in 3 years. Must be a really bright guy.
We are talking Mr. Avocado Ice Cream here. I doubt any poisons are entering his body. He is playing until he is 90.Or he was getting a good discount on weed.
“Experimented”... I certainly hope no one in your immediate circle ever deals with addiction. Your response would be “no biggie it’s only oxy and coke”, “it’s only drinking at 6AM until you blackout”.He got a Super Bowl ring last year. Seems like he is managing his career just fine.
