Wait until DT comes off PUP on Monday.

That's a bit of a surprise. You'd figure the cat was on his last life but here he comes again. Inb4 Southgeorge says the league is rigged.

This is an interesting case. While i don't blame the NFL for dropping the hammer on him (i get it, weed is legal in a good part of the country) considering he's had so many bloody changes and at some point it becomes more about how stupid one is, rather than the legality of a drug, i do wonder if this signals somewhat of a changing in thinking in the NFL's eyes.

At some point, weed will be legal in a bigger % of the country and both the NFL and NBA will have to change policy.

Maybe he’ll stay out of trouble and actually PLAY in the Super Bowl this year.

That would be nice.

**** yes!!!!!

I love the enthusiasm, @Scandale du Jour!

Pure joy that brought a smile to my face

I am happy as a fan, but most importantly, I hope Josh has turned his life around for good.

I hope so, too. He has a golden opportunity to do it differently this time.

Well, it’s not fair.

When he was with the Browns, Josh Gordon would be suspended for entire seasons at a time. Now that he's a Patriot, he's reinstated after only missing a few games. Can't say I'm surprised.

Oh cry me a f***ing river.

After the absurdity of deflategate it’s pretty clear Goodell doesn’t give two f***s about helping the Pats. I think this has more to do with the changing attitudes and laws of cannabis and how they relate to the upcoming CBA negotiations than it does the Patriots. Throw in the potential for a pr nightmare for the NFL if they didn’t reinstate him but let that woman and child abuser Tyreek Hill off with literally nothing.

I can taste the salt from this post.

You know what I think is hilarious?

Fans here in Boston think the NFL is hell-bent on f*cking the Patriots, and fans of the other 31 teams say that the NFL front office is on the Patriots’ payroll.

Both sides can’t be right.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Will be interesting to see if he screws up yet another chance

Good point. Then let's agree Pats fans are 1/32nd correct and the rest of the fans are 31/32nd correct.

Not quite sure I agree with your ratio.

The truth may lie somewhere in the middle.

Maybe the league figured that the sooner he is reinstated, the sooner he can screw up and be fined & suspended again? They are trying to pad their total suspension #'s

1/64 vs 63/64?

Well this is going to open a pandoras box when it comes to future players getting busted for pot.
Players will appeal based on consistency alone from the NFL front office when it comes to handling of future suspensions

Keep in mind the league never says what a player was busted with. We don’t ever know what all Gordon was busted for each time. We assume pot because we all know he loooooves the reefer, but he’s also had a DUI and admitted to being drunk during most every game he played.

True. I just assumed it was pot because yeah, what you said. That being said this is likely his last chance

 

[Dr Quincy]

As a Pats fan of course I'm glad, but I'd say it's 75% chance that he doesn't make it to week 10.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Josh Gordon is into way more than just pot. It's well-known.

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Lol. “Weed”.

Gordon was into nose candy. The league obviously never says, but this is common knowledge. JG admitted as much in multiple articles.

He admitted to a lot of things, but weed is usually what gets caught because it hangs around in your system so long.
