Gordon has been suspended for one year by the NFL for violating the league's substance-abuse policy, ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Albert Breer report.
Per Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, with the league's ruling on the matter having now been upheld on appeal, Gordon will be eligible to apply for reinstatement with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell one year from now. Gordon's 2014 fantasy utility is thus dashed by the news, with the Browns' passing attack now likely to rely heavily on TE Jordan Cameron and a committee of wideouts in order to attempt to fill the significant void created by the now-confirmed absence of Gordon.
Honestly, I have been seeing Rice being brought up, Rice is not the issue in this situation. Its Josh Gordon not learning his lesson, he got suspended twice in college and once before this suspension. Now he got busted for Weed AGAIN and he got arrested for DWI. Being in the NFL is privilege, just because you were signed by a team doesn't mean you are safe and all big. Its just like having a license, its privilege, it has it rules. Hopefully Gordon learns his lesson to not to do weed. It affects you lungs, one joint does the effect of 1 pack of cigarettes on your lungs. Ray Rice isn't a repeat offender. He must have not done it again if his wife is still with him and he hasn't been arrested for domestic violence. I know many of you will disagree with me but this year suspension might do some good for Gordon.
Thanks for putting a stop to the insults by providing some actual facts. We want to be the morales police while slinging unnecessary insults, without regard for the feelings of others. Maybe we should stick to football on sites like this.
Obviously smoking anything can be detrimental to your health. However, in the large spectrum of things detrimental to your body, pot is seriously super super low on the list. To think that in this day and age we are comfortable with cigarettes being available to the public, which is considerably worse for your health than pot, and we're jailing individuals for taking a couple of rips in the privacy of their own homes...that's just wrong man.
In short, while smoking anything is harmful to your lungs, weed is honestly not as big of a villain as people say he is. I repeat...cigarettes are far far worse. And players are allowed to smoke em!
