iinii Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 To be fair, the guy who wrote "slow getting up" (a noted pothead) referred to the league's mandated marijuana test as "the test you have to be an idiot to fail" - you get tested once a year, during a limited known window. You have to have clean pee by April 20th, and stay clean until you're tested. It's only if you fail the idiot test that you become subject to regular, random testing How ass backwards, testing during their free time-their vacation. I would rather have the ones who want to spark up sitting at home high, playing video games on their flat screen waiting on some girls to come by instead of out hitting cops with champagne bottles in the off season.

It's only if you fail the idiot test that you become subject to regular, random testing yep, and you have to have 4 or 5 positives before it's even made public (suspension). It's actually a pretty lenient policy. If you can pass the annual test that you know the date of, you are free to smoke pot the rest of the year.

klos63 Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 I'd climb a rope of sand and sleep on a bed of nails to make millions of dollars playing a kids game. it's not really just a kids game, ya know. Hate when people say that. It's played at a much higher level and sleeping on nails won't get you a tryout. It takes a special athlete to play it and Gordon is one of those flawed, special athletes.

Doesn't require any more serious mental development through study than when you were 10 years old. When they are through almost all of those who played college and pro have nothing to fall back on in achievement for the next 50 years of their life. You are also mistaking metaphor and irony for dead-iron-cast tight-assed seriousness... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it’s clear the former All-Pro receiver would be able to help the offense if he were able to stay on the field. After all, back in 2013 he caught 87 passes for 1,646 yards and nine touchdowns in just 14 games. Yes and how many years ago? He did not do too well in 2014.

I get your point but honestly for some guys, football is just a 9-5 job like most people have. Some guys are just good at and know they can make a living at it. I always thought the OT Mike Williams was like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Ok to get a DUI, beat up women or shoot yourself in the leg......but smoke pot?? So you appear to know him and can vouch for him and he's simply being discriminated against because many others smoke pot and still get to play? Perhaps getting to know some Browns officials and/or players who played with him would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
