June 2, 201412 yr According to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, police ticketed Gordon for speeding over Memorial Day weekend. A passenger in the vehicle was cited for marijuana possession after the officer detected the odor of it in the vehicle. Regardless of whether he beats the current suspension, Gordon must submit to up to 10 drug tests per month. If Gordon is around marijuana smoke, he could end up testing positive even if he didn’t actually smoke it. Josh Gordon ticketed for speeding | ProFootballTalk
June 2, 201412 yr Author First of all Gordon is a complete idiot. Second, the NFL should be testing him again immediately. Third, will Josh Gordon ever play in the NFL again?
June 2, 201412 yr 10 drug tests per month? That's a lot. To answer the question: Yes, Josh Gordon will play again in the NFL. He's too good for teams to take the moral high ground.

I guess the real question I am asking is will Josh Gordon get caught with more devil's lettuce in his temple? And if so, will he be banned from the league?
June 2, 201412 yr I guess the real question I am asking is will Josh Gordon get caught with more devil's lettuce in his temple? And if so, will he be banned from the league? Is Gordon's only issue marijuana, or has he been busted for other drugs? I can't recall.
June 2, 201412 yr Author Is Gordon's only issue marijuana, or has he been busted for other drugs? I can't recall. No idea. Adding to the above media report, if I was the NFL (I would say Browns but they have a conflict of interest) I would be investigating this incident specifically to determine the who, where, why, what etc. about the marijuana.
June 2, 201412 yr There seems to be a few players having this problem. Giants former safety (just released today) Will Hill has tested positive for marijuana three years in a row. He was one of the giants best defensive players last year so it sucks they had to make that decision. He's suspended for the first six games of next season.
June 2, 201412 yr Author There seems to be a few players having this problem. Giants former safety (just released today) Will Hill has tested positive for marijuana three years in a row. I saw that, idiots! And I wish the NFL would do away with marijuana testing. The NFL could negotiate some great things for them (and by proxy us fans) for doing away with pot testing.
June 2, 201412 yr Baffles my mind that players would risk throwing it all away for marijuana. If you get caught once, fine, but man I just don't get it.
June 2, 201412 yr I saw that, idiots! And I wish the NFL would do away with marijuana testing. The NFL could negotiate some great things for them (and by proxy us fans) for doing away with pot testing. Being that it's legalized in a few states now and more probably within a few years, I'm not against them doing away with the testing either.
June 2, 201412 yr Author Being that it's legalized in a few states now and more probably within a few years, I'm not against them doing away with the testing either. And that is exactly the logic the NFL can use and most NFL people won't give two hoots after a small, initial push back.
June 2, 201412 yr Funny the league can't come to an agreement on HGH testing but they want to throw the book at marijuana users. One is potentially responsible for some injuries in the sports. The other has zero negative impact (To the NFL) outside of your guys eating some late night snacks.

Before we start hammering on the NFL folks, remember, this is part of a deal that the players brokered. That is what gets lost in some of this stuff.

The other has zero negative impact (To the NFL) outside of your guys eating some late night snacks. That's because the players want outside arbitration, correct? I think the NFL could solve the HGH issue too if they would allow lettuce in their diet.
