Like I understand the Walt Whitman bridge is right there at the stadiums, but why risk River Authority and New Jersey cops? And pay higher taxes? And get arrested for a bag of weed when it would just be a ticket in Philly?

TheChirurgeon posted:Word on twitter yesterday is that it'll be a suspension for weed Suspending a player for weed after he's been investigated for a year for domestic violence sounds like the kind of move the NFL would make. forgive me if that was the joke you were making and it sailed over my head.

NotWearingPants posted:Suspending a player for weed after he's been investigated for a year for domestic violence sounds like the kind of move the NFL would make. No joke; that's what I heard and I agree, it's exactly the type of action the NFL would take. Though a suspension for weed implies he's already failed at least one drug test. It makes no sense that the NFL's investigation into the domestic abuse incident has continued this far, given that the DA dropped the case after witnesses at the claim refuted the alleged victim's testimony and evidence was produced showing the alleged victim asked a friend to lie for her. Which isn't to say that Zeke never assaulted her (though admittedly it looks less likely), but it does suggest that this particular assault didn't occur. Then again, according to an ABC report this week: ABC News posted:Multiple sources close to the situation told Schefter that Elliott could face a one- or two-game suspension, but the league has denied that any decision on discipline has been made, and says it could not be made until its investigation is complete.

Anyone with a brain knows that weed is great and should be legal, but if you are getting paid millions of bucks maybe just stop smoking Josh Gordon amounts of weed and stick to the system that all the other guys use to smoke around testing times.

Yeah I mean I'm not pro-Cowboys but if the dude hit his gf then he either did and should get the full 6 games, or he didn't, and shouldn't get anything. I dunno what Goodell is trying to do with this "oh we'll give him 2 on some trumped-up other thing"

Flikken posted:What is Josh Gordon amounts of weed? I'm just curious? Enough to get you busted by the NFL, obviously. I don't follow the policy changes enough to know if things have drastically changed, but it used to be that the NFL only tested for weed in the late spring and summer for like 3 months total in the calendar year. Once you get bopped then they will test randomly and more frequently. What the NFL did to Josh Gordon is hosed up though and I am against flushing a dude's career because he likes weed, but if a potential-league-MVP-level talent who plays on a division rival wants to smoke during test times, I can only muster so much sympathy if he gets suspended.

Ok here it is First offense was in College, entered the NFL in the stage 2 testing program where they get tested 10 times a month. 1st NFL offense, codeine in cough syrup, in February. 4 game suspension reduced to 2 games. 2nd NFL offense. 1st positive weed test, tested at low enough level that no organization outside of the NFL would recognize it as a positive test(likely from being around weed being smoked but not smoking it himself) The level was so low that if they tested his second sample first he would have passed. Permanent Ban Later reduced to 8 games after Wes Welker got suspended for Moly and that got overturned. 3rd NFL offense, DUI 2 game Suspension attached to previous 8 game suspension and prohibition of consuming Alchohol during the NFL league year, 4th NFL offense. Drank on a plane to vegas after week 17 Browns game, Permanent Ban has never returned. The Josh Gordon situation is so stupid and it illustrates how bad the NFL substance abuse program is.

Headline is "Cousins open to long-term contract after season" http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20081141/kirk-cousins-washington-redskins-open-deal-season translation: Kirk Cousins is not doing a deal now before the deadline to sign franchise tagged players to long term deals so this is almost certainly his last year as a Redskin.

I think they transition tag him for $29m and take the picks if someone else tries to sign him.

It's almost like suspending Tom Brady has ushered in a new standard for player suspensions. Zeke hasn't earned any trust with his nightlife after St. Patrick's Day, so I'm not surprised by this turn of events in the slightest. Don't think he did anything last night, mind you; I just get the feeling that he is not going to stop getting into trouble.
