Oh, here I thought it was Harold Henderson.thavoice;1648019 wrote:It was the arbitrator who upheld the decision on the appeal.

The confusing thing in this case is the samples after they were split in two. Why was one above the limit and one below the limit? I doubt we will ever hear the reasoning behind why sample A tested over 17% higher than sample B (16 vs 13.63). I cannot think of any test where a margin of error that high is acceptable.sportchampps;1648039 wrote:I dont think it's fair to be mad at the NFL or Goodell for Gordon getting a full season. The NFL drug policy is pretty black and white. You fail a test you get x number of games. It doesn't matter if he barely failed a test or bombed the test he still failed. The worst part is after he failed he went out and got a DUI. Browns fans should be mad at Gordon and no one else.
As for the Ray Rice vs Josh Gordon issue. This isn't just an NFL problem it is a problem the USA has. Our country punishes people over a small amount of weed more then some violent crimes.
BTW... I have no problem with people who are complaining it took way to long to hand the suspension down. I agree 100% they should have acted much faster on this.
Josh Gordon fucked the Browns not the NFL

The Browns knew given the CBA that it was either going to be all or nothing, and that a reduced penalty was not even possible given the way the CBA was written.
Why then didn't they just start the suspension when they found out instead of having him play and burying guys that were actually going to be on the field this year?
Farmer and Pettine were the ones who really bungled this when they knew that there was a 99% chance he wasn't going to play this year based on the letter of the law in the CBA.
It seems that like with so many other things related to this organization, denial and delusion once again took the place of common sense and good judgement and now we find ourselves in this mess which was entirely preventable.
Yet another indication that both these guys are in way over their head and not prepared to deal with the responsibility of running a successful organization.
They knew he wasn't playing this year most likely. People who were thinking 4-8 games were just making things up as that was never even a possibility given the CBA. It was all or nothing.bases_loaded;1648130 wrote:This isn't the NCAA. You can't self impose penalties. The Browns had to wait for the NFL, so your great radio guy point is terrible. Shocker
