  This is what I said. If they're basically saying he wouldn't have failed under new rules. Why is he suspended at all.

  Goodell is just being petty if Gordon is still suspended.

  My understanding is that this is for the 2014 league year while Gordon tested positive in 2013, hence it fell under old rules. Sounds like they're trying to make a weak ass compromise to let him play.

  Lots of people saying he should file the injunction after the reduced suspension. Likely to win, or have league reduce to 4 because of the fact he might win.
  
  No no way should they admit he didn't fail a test, and still serve time. He needs to fight that if it's reduced.

  That is the one thing I am trying to understand. I wonder if this was switched around and they were going to strengthen the rules that he broke would browns fans be all on board with this same argument..

  If Gordon plays before Thanksgiving the NFL just officially became the NBA...a consortium of Thuggers for Thuggers run by Thuggers.

  Who is Shawn Starr? The link on the tweet is directly from aj feely' mouth.
• Laley23

  

  I don't get how it's another violation/offense. If the policy is changed, so that his is reduced, doesn't that mean he DIDNT test positive??

  Starr is who runs dawgpoundnation. Stopped reading when I saw that, figured linked to another one of his dumbass sci-fi fan fiction articles.

  no fucking way gordon gets 8 to 10 games that would be a total joke and look bad on the NFL.

  I'd heard:
  
  1st offense = 2 game checks (Steeler potheads dodge a bullet-shocker)
  
  2nd offense = 4 game checks
  
  3rd offense = 4 games
  
  4th offense = 10 games (odd number)
  
  It sounds like it caps at that so if you've reached 4 offenses, smoke away....max may be 10 games.
  
  As a side note, Gordon won't be out of the woods at 10 games. He's staring at a DUI trial in November which would tack on 2 more games.
  
  Yes, MKC lead with this story but the big names (Schefter, Mort, etc) have confirmed it. Guess we'll have to see.

  How the fuck does Gordon have 4 offenses, especially under the new policy he doesn't even fail the test....
  
  ALso, the steelers RBs were caught by the cops and charged for driving under the influence. They never tested positive.

  He'll fuck up again soon enough which should be the end of a promising career that just "went up in smoke". Sometimes I make myself chuckle.

  Cmon man...that was a weak ass retort. Your old man woulda expected a better effort.

  Going out to swing the clubs this morning, by the time I finish 18 I'm figuring Brees & the Saints should be up by a comfortable 14 at the half. Really hope Manzier gets some action so the NO Def gets a chance to remove his spleen.
