Exactly. He certainly hasn't put his issues behind him. There's still problems and the Browns are being quiet about them out of pure professionalism.

Yeah. The Browns organization has had a lot of issues but by all accounts they have gone above and beyond to help Gordon.

No I meant there's more to this story. They're being nice and not making his issues public.

Agreed. I'd call Dez before him. And I'm not sure I'd call Dez.

I hope he does well in life but I think he shouldn't play football but focus on getting his life together.

Re: Josh Gordon

I don’t understand why the NFL continues to suspend people for marijuana when we’re likely headed for the end of its prohibition. It’s alresdy legal in several states, so the NFL should back of on it. We’d likely get him for the league minimum because of his issues. I can’t see a negative.

Because it's a performance enhancer for some players. There are many supplements on the market that are legal to buy and use by the public that league athletes in many sports cannot use. For some, Marijuana enhances pain management, coordination of some skills, etc. for others, not so much.

But they can take a Lortab and Vicodin to deal with things. I’m not buying it.

Yea, and for a lot of people popping a few Vicodin can give you just as big a rush as snorting a couple of rails of coke. They are without a doubt performance enhancing. It can absolutely increase your ability to focus and boost energy.
