NJ Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 He is selling cars right now. Its going to take him a few weeks to get into elite Football Shape. Last season he was suspended for the first 2 games and wasn't practicing with the team. First game back he had 19 targets, 10 catches, 146 rec yards, a TD and a 22 yard rush. I don't care if they need a crane to get him off his sofa, whenever he is reinstated, he'll be in my lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobcat10 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Rice got indefinite after they just changed policy to establish 6 games as the first offense. So in that regard, Gordon getting "reduced", and not reinstated right away with everyone else, would not surprise me. But, both still would make no sense. That is the NFL way.

I Am the Stig Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 The Gordon case remains tricky as his failed test took place before new league year, which is when grandfathering in new rules would begin https://twitter.com/JasonLaCanfora/status/510145906659061760Again, the language in the agreement is key- WIll the new marijuana policy be applied to all players suspended in 2014 (league year), or will it only apply to players who tested positive during the current year? If it's the former, then Gordon will be reinstated immediately. If it's the latter, then we might be screwed. I don't know...why go through all the negotiations and back-and-forth only to have this still be an issue? It just seems arbitrary. I agree that the time of positive test is a morally arbitrary factor and hence it's not fair that Gordon remains suspended while, say, Welker is immediately reinstated. However, amnestying players who failed tests in 2013 might open up a can of worms that the NFL doesn't want to deal with, e.g., some players have already served their suspensions in full and might want compensation, etc.It isn't a can of worms. Anyone who is currently being punished for a rule that no longer exists they should be "set free". If the rule changes the punishment currently being served must be adjusted. This isn't about retroactively lifting suspensions, it is about looking at players currently being punished for a rule that no longer exists.The can of worms is the lawsuits the league opens themselves up to over lost wages for upholding a punishment that is no longer valid.It is more than just Gordon or Welker playing, it is about the income they are losing and they will sue to get paid.

steelwind Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 This is far from over if it's a 6 - 10 game suspension. When this vote gets approved it gives Josh Gordon new foundation for basis to sue the NFL. He didn't have a solid ground to stand on prior to. Him taking on a job as a car salesman stretches his cause even further. He can argue that he barely passed the drug test with a score of 16 and now it is well under the new score of 50. He can argue that his appeal was decided in 2014. He can argue that now he is forced to make a living as a car salesman. Given these primary factors along with other subsidiary arguments (such as spinning his story that he was never deemed a drug addict) an injunction will be given by the court Judge. His team of lawyers were smart to advise him not to sue. They are simply waiting for the new grounds to become final and then use it against the NFL if he isn't fully reinstated. It has been a week since we last heard of a potential Josh Gordon lawsuit. I am certain that they have the paperwork ready to go if need be."Here’s a hypothetical: You were charged and convicted of a crime in the Winter of 2013 and immediately filed an appeal after the conviction. Sometime in 2014, the Court of Appeals affirms your conviction.In the above hypothetical, your conviction does not become final until the Court of Appeals affirms your conviction. So if a new law is enacted while your case is on appeal, you get the benefit of that law.How does this apply to Gordon? In a legal sense, I would argue (and believe) that Gordon’s suspension didn’t become final until his appeal was decided. Harold Henderson decided Gordon’s appeal on August 27."

VaTerp Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo 60s8 games, which is what new policy likely calls for. RT @TK_Smith3: how long do you think Josh Gordon will be suspended after the voting? Interesting that Garafolo is saying new policy likely calls for 8 games. Not sure what he would be referring to here if the threshold is raised that doesnt make sense. And there is no way a DUI arrest alone calls for 8 games.

fourd Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Michael Salfino also says Schefter's 6-10 weeks makes no sense. Says the NFLPA has the power. If someone could copy paste his tweets from the last 15 mins that would b greatHe failed with a 16 when the threshold was 15. The threshold is going to 50. Do you want to stand in front of a microphone and defend a 10 game suspension for the next ten weeks. No chance that its 10 plus if they start reinstating players.But if the new policy doesn't apply to Gordon's case, then his lawyers or NFLPA are going to have to negotiate a carve-out. Hence the reduced suspension instead of immediate reinstatement..the point is the NFL wants this in the rear view mirror. They are going to get the HGH testing which is a huge win. Then they want this to stop being a media topic. Best way to accomplish that is put players back on the field. If Gordon is suspended it will be for a short time. And there is good chance he will be available immediately. Yes, this is the media topic they're worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then why did those people who were in prison for violating prohibition not immediately freed when it ended? Because they were in prison for breaking a law. Just because the law changed doesn't mean they didn't break it.Gordon broke a rule. He was punished. If the rule changed AFTERWARDS, Marty McFly didn't pull up in his Delorean and go back in time so Gordon never smoked the dope. He still broke the rule that was in place at that time.If they didn't want to lose the income, they shouldn't have smoked up or taken Molly/amphetamines/adderal, whatever he took.

We get to use our predictions success in hopes of winning our fantasy league. While they get to use accurate predictions to bolster their career.

I say that because, clearly, the NFLPA would want the new policy to apply to all players currently being disciplined under the old one. In my post above, I hinted at one possible reason. If the NFL amnesties, say, Gordon, then it opens itself up to lawsuits by players who failed tests in 2013 and served their suspensions. Indeed, if I happened to be one of those players, then I would want back pay for games missed, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would be retroactive would be had he already served the suspension and they decided to retroactively pay his missed salary. But lifting a penalty that is currently being served because the the rule that was broken has changed is not "retroactive".Under what system of fairness should he continue to be punished for a rule that no longer applies to him?
