Since Rappaport works for the league, I think his reports are more likely to say what the league wants them to say.Since Rapoport essentially works for the league I think his reports carry extra weight.
Gordon's test being in the 2013 league year is very problematic and I think 8 games may be the best we can hope for.
On what are you basing this guarantee? And on what logic? He's already gotten "something."Guarantee Gordon will get something. Either 4,6 or 8 games.
Just saying he isn't going to just step right in and play if the rule gets changed. He will be sitting out several games.On what are you basing this guarantee? And on what logic? He's already gotten "something."Guarantee Gordon will get something. Either 4,6 or 8 games.

Yes, and that carries weight IMO.Since Rappaport works for the league, I think his reports are more likely to say what the league wants them to say.Since Rapoport essentially works for the league I think his reports carry extra weight.

I think Gordon will be all or nothing. I don't see any logic that ends in a reduced suspension. Now payment for games missed is another issue.
Lmao at people who lmao at everything.Lmao at 8 games. You guys just pulling numbers put of your asses now?
Right, and recall what Peliserro stated yesterday. If the NFLPA has its way, then Gordon's suspension will be lifted.Since Rappaport works for the league, I think his reports are more likely to say what the league wants them to say.Since Rapoport essentially works for the league I think his reports carry extra weight.

https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/509422714117832704Union wants standards of new policy enforced on any player suspended since March 11, 2014. Lot of guys could have cases reviewed.
I keep waiting for you guys to add a hog-leg hanging from the helmet of the football emoticon.I keep waiting for TMZ to release a video of Josh Gordon smoking a joint.Why couldn't tmz release this video after Gordon was reinstated....
Heads in here would explode.
If NFL and NFLPA came to an agreement on testing on March 12, second day of new year, would they pursue suspension for transgressions taking place in 2013?This is from Will Caroll @injuryexpert. He's a pretty credible source when it comes to this stuff..
@injuryexpert: Don't rush to pick up Josh Gordon his drug test took place in league year 2013. The new league year seems to be cutoff in talks.
Do we think that his source is the same source from Monday who told him a deal had been reached and the vote would be Tuesday? Because that guy doesn't seem all that reliable.Mort meant that with probability 1 the HGH/ drug policy being discussed includes a provision that will result in the immediate reinstatement of Gordon, Welker, etc. The inference is that Mort's sources are infallible, the particular provision that we're concerned about has already been agreed upon, etc. However, he implied that it's still uncertain that both parties agree to the overarching deal.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.
I think that's where Goodell gets his ideas regarding suspension lengths, so why not?Lmao at 8 games. You guys just pulling numbers put of your asses now?
Everything Jay Glazer says is out of asses....Lmao at people who lmao at everything.Lmao at 8 games. You guys just pulling numbers put of your asses now?
Jay Glazer and others have speculated 8 games so it's not just out of asses. Plus even if it were, the NFL sometimes seems to pull their suspension lengths out of their asses themselves.
Now I didn't go all in for Gorden, got him on the cheap before Thurs night game BUT, if I get Week 9+ with Gorden even if I sent all my money, I'm a happy man. You just need the team to get you into playoff contention without him. Then BOOM, I'm going to Gordon all over my league.Rapaport just said on air that his suspension could be 'reduced'. Now if they give him 8 games , that's a disaster to those going all in on these waivers tonight or last night.
Glazer has broken numerous stories that have turned about to be true but if you want to think everything he says is out of asses and compare it to yourself then go with it.Everything Jay Glazer says is out of asses....Lmao at people who lmao at everything.Lmao at 8 games. You guys just pulling numbers put of your asses now?
Jay Glazer and others have speculated 8 games so it's not just out of asses. Plus even if it were, the NFL sometimes seems to pull their suspension lengths out of their asses themselves.
If it happens this week, his suspension will be reduced to one game. Time served. If it happens next week, 2 games time served and everyone will be happy. That's my out of ### guess after listening to all the pundits.
I'm going to throw this out of my ###, since I haven't heard it yetEverything Jay Glazer says is out of asses....Lmao at people who lmao at everything.Lmao at 8 games. You guys just pulling numbers put of your asses now?

That's how I see it too. Don't think it's going to quite be 8 though. I'm thinking 4 or 6even 8 weeks of Gordon is still better than 16 weeks of Fitzgerald, Cruz, etc..
I'd never look a gift horse in the mouth..if I got Gordon off waivers tonight, for a power-packed final 8 weeks of the season, I'd be thrilled..Gordon coming back earlier is just icing on the cake..
I was just clarifying his statement. If Mort's credibility is dubious, then his report shouldn't change your opinion much.Do we think that his source is the same source from Monday who told him a deal had been reached and the vote would be Tuesday?

best thread since the David Wilson threadCan we just pin this thread for all time?
Let's hope it ends better for Gordon, for his sake.best thread since the David Wilson threadCan we just pin this thread for all time?
It it will deliver. Something Wilson, Finley, and Torain couldn't.best thread since the David Wilson threadCan we just pin this thread for all time?
My team is way better than that.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!!!!!
