TexasAg1969 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 My bet is that not one team will touch him now. Joins the JFF used up all the jokers club.🃏🃏 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard mixed reports, and even when I read about the new CBA and how it handles weed, it still seems confusing. I'm not sure how they handle it if you were already in the "program" and I don't know for sure if all he was busted for was weed. It usually never specified. I have literally lost count with how many suspensions he's had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gumby73 Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 how many more times can we totally be burnt by dealing with this guy? 😎... hard pass for me.. 2 TE sets or FB set, means WR3 may barely see the field...(Higgins/Ratley/Peoples?)

The question Gipper is- if there's no suspension for a positive test, why are they even bothering testing for it? Um, considering 9 teams are in states (or the Redskins DC) pretty hard to punish people where it's as legal as booze. Maybe it has to do with driving while buzzed?

Well, I suppose they are still testing for PEDs, cocaine, H...or any other types of drugs that are still banned. I don't know if the tests they give can cover all those substances like a blanket...or if they have to give very specific kinds of tests for it, or the others.

I don't know if the tests they give can cover all those substances like a blanket...or if they have to give very specific kinds of tests for it, or the others. I can tell you this much Gip. At least as far as illegal drugs that are commonly abused, and how they're tested for. You create an antibody "soup". I'll take cocaine as one example. You futz around in the lab and create an antibody that will attach to cocaine like glue. Then you add a florescent dye to the antibody. If a person has been using cocaine, the drug\bound antibody will light up like a Christmas tree if it's present under UV light. Quantitating levels of THC is similar- you're counting the number of light bulbs that are there. As to how they're doing steroid testing? That's above my pay grade- we were never involved in specialized PED testing in a hospital setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, just because a state makes it legal, I'm pretty sure companies can decide not to hire you if you test baked. I mean, if you can be fired for being drunk on the job...

Barry Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 "Gordon’s suspension falls under the rules of the old CBA, as opposed to the new agreement that has a more lenient drug policy." So he doesn't get a break there. He will look great as a workout warrior. Someone will say "What the hell" and take a shot on him. He will just be a JAG at this stage of his career, and a smart GM will think to himself that, being a JAG, Gordon doesn't bring any more potential than your typical 2nd-3rd team receiver but does bring additional risk, so will cut him for the average player with less risk. Gordon will then join up with Johnny Manziel and do their best Uncle Rico imitation with some minor football league, if one ever comes back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK....but now THIS company...the NfL has decided that weed is not something that they will not hire you for, or fire you for. I suppose if someone showed up for a game completely high....or drunk, or opioided out....they would just not play him. What they would do beyond that, I don't know.

Yes I can almost hear John Facenda's voice from the old NFL Films voice over on the Sundays "The Autumn Wind": The Autumn Wind is a pirateBlustering in from sea,With a rollicking song, he sweeps along,Swaggering boisterously.His face is weather beaten.He wears a hooded sash,With a silver hat about his head,And a bristling black mustache. With Josh Gordon's annual request to have yet another chance because he ran out of doobie money.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I'm saying is I don't really know. Obviously, they have brought punishment for weed way down, and seemingly won't suspend players for it. But have they stopped all testing, even for players like Josh? I don't know. We will see. They probably should just stop testing altogether. It's not like it's performance enhancing. Why should they even care? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’m okay with passing. This offense has plenty of firepower as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still remember Gordon coming back off one of his suspensions and completely hanging Brian Hoyer out to drive by running routes that only he seemed to think existed, and giving a half-ass effort at that, in what some speculated was his attempt to sabotage Hoyer to get his boy Johnny Fucking Football on the field. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some team will take a chance on him, albeit more likely after an injury need surfaces. I wonder how TB12 would feel about him in TB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not big on conspiracy theories. -but- this one smells TRUE in some ways with Josh "I need another outrageous paycheck" -and- I miss my old Doobie buddy Johnny.......the one with a marijuana tattoo on his wrist. Somehow I don't think that would be in the BROWNS best interest.....ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
