DieHardBrownsFan Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Ray Rice probably took him aside and said what he did to his wife was nothing compared to what he would do to him if he got a higher suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoorta Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 the difference with private companies and the NFL is that the NFL has a player's union who voted on all these rules, so when it comes back to bite them in the ass............. i didn't hear anything about a delay with gordon's precedings so i don't know why if the judgement is handed down to day why the ruling won't be released. why would they wait 2 days? To not toss some eggs (from Browns fans) at the HOF Induction tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 HA! yep. could get ugly if released, didn't think of that. he's going to have a lot of questions to answer especially about the rice punishment. why not pile on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAFBF Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 I'll put this here just for grins more than anything else, but this just floated across. Huge Rumor. Repeat, rumor, and don't know anything about this guy, but here it is : Len Fill @CleveLENNY 9m I've just been told by a reliable source Josh Gordon won his appeal...guaranteed done deal.

JAFBF Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just some Joe that may know somebody that has something to do with the proceedings would be my best guess. Don't know that I'd put much stock in it since the last I saw the appeal was still going on . . . Never can tell though where something will come from.

Tour2ma Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 Who the hell is Len Fill? Our new hero? Goodell had an impromptu news conference in Canton. I'll be paraphrasing here but... On Rice: - Made point about legal system not punishing him while the NFL did. - Talked about how well Rice came across in meeting, i.e., sincere, repentant, etc. On Gordon: - Gordon is going through process. - He (Goodell) may have the opportunity to meet with him at later time. I don't get it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Cheesedick Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 What about the discussions that suggest a reduced sentence due to the NFL wanting Johnny to succeed. Johnny's a big personality and lots of news. The better he does the better for the NFL and ESPN. (reporting what i heard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miktoxic Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 conspiracy theory. like i've been saying it might be reduced only for the reason of 1). how can you suspend a guy for not passing a test by some very minute, slim margin for more than a guy that knocked his fiancee out AND the whole nation is up your behind because of the light sentence. 2). will get off with a reduced sentence to lighten the barrage of public criticism when irsay gets a slap on the wrist for getting pulled over for DUI with cocaine in his pocket and a suitcase full of 30+ thousand dollars.

D Bone Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 BEREA, Ohio -- The Browns receivers put on a Cirque du Soleil show at practice Friday, as if to show the world that there is life after Josh Gordon at the position: http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/08/browns_receivers_put_on_a_show.html?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcam222 Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 This process has taken entirely to long. Unless the delay was somehow driven by Gordon (highly unlikely) the Browns should pursue legal action to negate any ban. They have had to game plan into training camp on pure speculation as to what their receiver corp would or would not be. There is absolutely no excuse to have pushed it out this long.

Z Since the NFLPA has some skin in this and are part of the proceedings (from what I've heard), maybe they're taking the opportunity to amend the CBA in regards to this issue and the HGH testing the NFL is after?

Zombo Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 Not for nothing, but 10 hours of top notch lawyer time is a boatload of money, plus the research. Josh is on his rookie contract, so he's not paying for it, I guess his agent is. I hope they shock the world and I am watching Josh week 3.

Z If he hasn't blown all of it on dope- he should still have some spare change left Z. According to Sportstrac http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cleveland-browns/josh-gordon/ Josh has already pulled in $3 million plus, not sure how much is left after Uncle Sam takes his cut. Have no idea what one of those top tier lawyers run, but even if it costs Josh $50k, it was well worth it- if he wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyceRolls Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 we wouldn't have to worry about any of this if Gordon had just beat the shit out of his mother. Instead he decided to be in close proximity to people burning a flower, like an ego-centric twat, and ruined everything for everybody! Kids these days...
