If it's as reliable as anything else... You can "X" off mayo and hollandaise. Stuff flakes quickly. :chuckles:
 
Double his suspension from last year. 4 game suspension, 8 games without pay.
 
Sounds like the judge is a dick I expect the season
 
The whole way the NFL handles this doesn't make a lick of sense to me. You would think the second test would be used to validate the first test. If you pass the second test, you'd think that would invalidate the first test, thus resulting in you passing. Otherwise, why even bother running a second test if it can't be used to override the first test.

I'll also say that is this was jury trial instead of an arbitrator, he'd easily get off due to reasonable doubt. Hell, the average of the two tests pass. If the NFL kicks him out for the whole season, they are gonna face a ton of media criticism.

And they would care less. Roger came out and defended the Ray Rice suspension today.

The way I read it was that they use the second test to see if there is ANY of the substance in the sample. And if there is, guilty. Makes no sense to me.
 
No way he gets the full season suspension. They can't cut breaks on suspensions for far worse offenses, and then suspend a guy for a season for smoking pot twice. Not to mention they can't even definitively prove it.
 
My question about this is, why is the NFL so hell-bent on suspending players for pot? Much of the negative press surrounding Gordon is a result of this strict policy and now, because of this issue being made public by the NFL, many will associate weed abuse with NFL players as whole.

Compounding issues further, the laziness with which the policy was developed is causing additional criticism because of how many flaws exist.

How can such high ranking professionals be so irresponsible, and shoot themselves in the foot to this degree?

Nancy Reagan is actually still alive and well.
 
Is the hearing still going on? Will a decision still come down tonight?
