bulger2holt 138 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Rappaport conspicuously did NOT include Gordon when discussing players who could be back this weekend when reporting on NFLN.Vote tomorrow or Friday.He mentioned the players twice, with the first time mentioning Gordon and the second time he didn't.

DaveGrumbles 19 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 How does it give them positive PR to allow a bunch of drug users to come back without any punishment?Those people who want the players back are going to keep watching regardless of what happens to Gordon and all.I don't see this as immediate positive PR...For the NFL & owners this is about decreasing negative PR in the future as this conceivably should limit the number times they have to suspend future players for this kind of thing. You're right its not for the fans that don't care about the player's private lives, it's for the 'other' fans and media that will continue to build up a negative view of the league and it's players with every successive drug related suspension. Unsuspending current players is just the price for getting it done not the actual PR move itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Harstad 1,060 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 So, does the whole "NFL knew about the Rice tape" and the heat that will come with it just throw a monkey wrench in the machine here?Hard to see how it couldn't.I guess it depends if the NFL thinks that public opinion is "who cares what drugs these guys take, I want to see them play!" OR "first the NFL let Ray Rice off easy and now they want to rig the system so that drug users get no punishment???". Bottom line is Goodell/shield needs some positive PR right now. Not sure which end game they think would be perceived as positive.I wouldn't trust their instincts on it, anyway. Remember, Goodell / the NFL initially thought that Ray Rice's 2-game suspension would be positively perceived. They released the news on a Thursday, (rather than waiting for the Friday news dump like you do for anything you think you'll come under fire for), and did the entire media circuit patting themselves on the back over how well they did.

The Commish 13,385 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Why would the representatives that are in the AFC North agree to reinstatement. Why would the representatives of the AFC west agree to reinstatement. Why would any team that would not have a player reinstated agree to reinstatement as part of the deal?Because they thought it was a dumb rule to begin with and people shouldn't be punished for it??

TheDirtyWord 948 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mortensen is unequivocal in his assertion. Rappaport is indicating a 'reduced' suspension for Gordon. I think what it may come down to is all players will be re-instated while players like Welker/Scandrick recoup game checks while Gordon gets credited with time served on a two game suspension but recoups no money from those games.

Sweetness_34 28 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 If Gordon gets re-instated, in one of my FPC leagues I will have these 6 WRs - Antonio Brown; Josh Gordon; Andre Johnson; Larry Fitzgerald; Marques Colston; Percy Harvin.....I know none of you care about my teams so keep those comments with you.....but I will have no clue which two to bench every week....my head will indeed explode....and I know you want to know the rest of my team - I still have McCoy; Frank Gore; Moreno and Woodhead at RB and Nick Foles at QB.....CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!

SCT 297 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 It sounds to me like it's 100% certain that IF it passes, Gordon's suspension will 100% be reviewed and might be adjusted or eliminated.The only thing I see as 100% is that regardless of what happens this month, Gordon will pop a test again within 7 months, as he's done since HS.

gotmooch 1 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Gotta love this topic... This is all speculation from all sides. We have fantasy fans, waiver wire gold diggers, and marijuana advocates united to free Gordon... Then we have anti-pot people talking about how he broke the rules and should be punished. Then there are the people that weren't quick enough to pick him off waivers who are just salty and don't want him to play because he's not on their roster. This is great.Salfino was the first to let us know that the vote didn't take place last night and here's what he has to say today.... Which camp do you think I'm with?Mortensen says again w/out equivocation Gordon SPECIFICALLY will, repeat WILL, be among those immediately reinstated.
