I read all the other threads first, saving this one for last as I suspected it to be the meatiest of them. When I finally arrive here it's dumb fest with the same people arguing, making the same points they've made over and over and over and over before. What the hell has this place come to?! I can't wait for some football to get rolling. Maybe it will jag everyone off their insanity. #gmstrong

The NFL does issue statements other than the nature of the violation and the penalty. That's it, except the one that is in the know for the nfl and said he failed a drug test. Who? Some unnamed source ...... but no one on the record in any official capacity with the NFL has said anything ..... because they cannot. It is against the HIPPA requirements built into the CBA. We can opine ..... and "sources" can opine ...... but no one with the NFL can ever make a statement on the record (until and unless the CBA changes) ..... so we have to take a lot of this stuff on faith, one way or the other.

What will the Browns do about troubled wide receiver Josh Gordon? It appears the answer is keep him on the roster while trying to get him the help he desperately needs. Browns head coach Mike Pettine explained the Browns' decision to Mary Kay Cabot on Monday evening. "We're expecting him to report on Friday and be on the field,'' Pettine said. "We have no plans to cut him. I know there's been a lot of debate over that, but I don't see us having that debate.'' The speculation about cutting the All-Pro receiver gained steam earlier this month when Gordon was arrested for driving while impaired in Raleigh, North Carolina. It was the latest misstep for Gordon, who is still waiting to hear back from the NFL on what could be an indefinite suspension for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy once again. Pettine told Cabot that helping Gordon is the best option for the team. "I think we need to find the middle ground of what's best for Josh and what's best for the organization. I know Cris Carter came out and said that, but we think you can find that middle ground of what's best for our players and best for the organization. It worked for Cris, but cutting Josh might be the worst thing for him and the worst thing for us.'' Readers seem to agree with the Browns' stance on the matter. It was the first week of June when we asked readers on cleveland.com to vote on what the Browns should do with Gordon, and 52 percent believed keeping him was the best option. There were nearly 19 percent of readers who felt letting him go after one more screwup was the best course of action. Nearly 15 percent would cut him if the NFL hands down a year-long suspension. And 14 percent felt cutting him in June was the best decision. Well, that hasn't happened yet, and seems unlikely. But getting into trouble has become a trend with the NFL's leading receiver in 2013. So we ask the same question as the off-the-field issues haven't stopped. (end)

Mike Pettine plans to give Browns' Josh Gordon some quality reps despite looming suspension \| cleveland.com http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/07/mike_pettine_plans_to_give_bro.html CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns coach Mike Pettine plans to give Josh Gordon some quality reps during training camp despite his looming drug suspension. "You don't want to say 'hey let's not put him in there' and all of a sudden the league comes back and it's not what you expected it to be, so I don't think you can go that way,'' Pettine told cleveland.com Monday. "Since we're going to be receiver-by-committee for at least part of the year, I think rolling those guys in all different groups is going to be good anyway, because it also helps you with the quarterback situation. It's yet to be determined, but he'll get reps.'' Pettine said Gordon will report to camp on Friday with the rest of the veterans and will be on the field Saturday for the first practice open to the public, which begins at 9:30 a.m. He also said Monday that he expects to know the outcome of Gordon's appeal hearing within 10 days to two weeks. Gordon is appealing what's believed to be an indefinite ban from the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy for at least the third time. If he loses the appeal, he'll have to wait at least a year to apply for reinstatement with NFL Commissioner from Roger Goodell. Pettine, who said he won't cut Gordon when the suspension is handed down, acknowledged that a Pro Bowler of his caliber can't be replaced. "If you just look at what he did last year, he's arguably one of the top three receivers in the league,'' Pettine said. "You just have to get creative in how you do it. We feel good about where Miles Austin is health-wise, we're very pleased with how Andrew Hawkins came out of camp, and then Nate Burleson will be ready to go and then we have some guys we think will be ready to battle it out. "Charles Johnson is coming back. He's coming off the ACL, but he's now full-go. We hope to have Travis Benjamin back and ready to go. We might hold him at the beginning but that's more just being cautious than anything. He's almost fully recovered and we'll know a little bit better when he gets his physical. Pettine said he'll also get creative with personnel groupings, including using tight ends Jim Dray and Gary Barnidge more the club move tight end Jordan Cameron more. In studying Gordon's film, Pettine has gained an appreciation for his immense talent. He cited an 80-yard TD catch against former Patriots and current Broncos Pro Bowl cornerback Aqib Talib last season. "(It looks) effortless,'' Pettine said. "A lot of times you criticize his effort, but he makes it look so easy. You look at the play against Talib a year ago. Talib, who runs a 4.5-ish, was laboring and Josh didn't even look like he got out of third gear and pulled away from him. He glides open. He's a special talent.'' Pettine said Gordon, who sat out minicamp with a strained hamstring, is healthy enough to practice when camp opens. Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.

That would be a sound idea if the report wasn't that he will be suspended for the year, I don't see how it helps the team unless you have, at least, some realistic expectation that Gordon will have his suspension reduced. We have a suspect receiver corps, and a new QB. (or one with 3 career starts as a Browns QB) While it's still early, I don't see any value in wasting reps on Gordon. (if he is likely to be suspended for the year) That's JMHO. I have to wonder if Pettine has some idea what's coming from the NFL? Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.

If I know for a stone-cold fact that he's going to be suspended in a week for the year, I still put him out there. Why wouldn't you? To 'give reps' to Travis Benjamin or Chandler Jones? No, you let your CB's try to work against him. You let your QB's throw to him. You let your WR's watch him, and try to out-do him. You let your guys work with and against the best, because that makes them better. Pettine's comments shed no light on the situation.

At what point does that benefit out weigh giving more reps to the WRs who will actually play though. I can see benefits to both ways of thinking. I would probably go with giving the playing WR's the reps because Josh probably wont be giving it his all in practice if he knows he is not playing anyways. It's not an easy call though. You can't fix stupid but you can destroy ignorance. When you destroy ignorance you remove the justifications for evil. If you want to destroy evil then educate our people.

I really think it is more than a simple pass/fail situation. Allegedly, the meeting with the NFL is set for next Friday, August 1. Good luck, Josh..

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports, via a source close to the situation, the appeals hearing on Gordon's potentially lengthy suspension for a positive drug test will be held on Aug. 1 in New York City. Although the troubled wide receiver is also coming off DWI charges from earlier this month, coach Mike Pettine has made it clear that the team has no intention of cutting ties. In fact, Pettine expects Gordon to report to training camp on Friday. The question is whether Gordon will suit up at any point beyond camp. The Browns should find out the answer some time early next month. Joe Thomas #73

You just don't cut a talent like this until you have exhausted all other options! Gordon can still turn around even if he sits out a year. He might miss two years and still comeback, who knows? I know I don't want to see him playing against us... ever! Worst case scenario, he never plays another down and takes up a roster spot for a while that some scrub bench-warmer might have taken... big deal!

Good thing the Jags could not communicate or work with him at all. Good job with the rules, NFL & NFLPA.

Giving Josh all the reps is brilliant. really they said some reps. lets face it both Austin and burlesson are older. they would have limited reps anyway. save them for the season. so have to have rec just to take snaps. why not Gordon over camp fodder? being a browns fan is like taking your dog to vet every week to be put down...

It has nothing to do with pot either, its about him becoming a man and taking control of his life.

It just says that he checked himself in ...... I wonder if that means he went into an inpatient program? That is probably the least pleasant route for him to have taken, and maybe, hopefully, that means that he is serious about betting himself straightened up. (No matter what he has a problem with) Josh Gordon spent two weeks in a rehab facility in California after DWI arrest, reports say \| cleveland.com http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2014/07/josh_gordon_spent_two_weeks_in.html#incart_2box CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns receiver Josh Gordon checked himself into rehab after his DWI arrest in Raleigh, N.C., according to reports, but he'll still report to training camp on Friday and begin practicing Saturday. Mike Garafolo of Fox Sports 1 first reported that the Browns Pro Bowl receiver entered a substance abuse rehab facility after his DWI arrest over July 4th weekend, and ESPN's Adam Schefter followed up with a report that Gordon spent two weeks at the facility in California. Schefter also reported Thursday that Gordon's appeal hearing on his drug ban is set for Aug. 1 in New York City. Browns coach Mike Pettine told cleveland.com on Monday that Gordon will report to camp on Friday and begin practicing on Saturday, and a source close to Gordon confirmed that he'll report on time. The Browns reached out to Gordon shortly after his DWI arrest July 5th and were instrumental in helping him get to rehab, a source told cleveland.com. Former NFL players such as Hall of Famers Michael Irvin, who's had a longstanding friendship with Gordon, also stepped in to help him. "If any of our players are in need of help, we'll do our best to provide it for them and also that we're going to do what we feel is best for the organization,'' Pettine said. "By league guidelines, whatever help we can provide him, we're going to do it. A Cleveland Brown is a Cleveland Brown. If we feel we can help him, let's help him. Sometimes you're handcuffed by the situation, so until it plays out then there's really nothing tangible we can do at this point.'' Pettine stressed this week that the Browns will stand by Gordon and not cut him despite what the league decides Aug. 1. He's facing a minimum one-year ban from the NFL for violating the league's substance abuse policy for at least the third time. If the ban is upheld, he'll have to wait a year to apply for reinstatement. "I think we need to find the middle ground of what's best for Josh and what's best for the organization,'' Pettine said Monday. "I know Cris Carter came out and said (to cut him), but we think you can find that middle ground of what's best for our players and best for the organization. It worked for Cris, but cutting Josh might be the worst thing for him and the worst thing for us.'' A source said he doubted that Gordon going to rehab would help his appeal because penalties are set forth in the program contract. Pettine acknowledged that the DWI in the midst of the looming suspension was disturbing. "Anytime there are multiple things going on and there's a pattern, it's a concern, but at the same time, you need to allow that to play out,'' he said. "You don't want to have a knee-jerk reaction. You've got to cool down a little bit and look at each thing individually. I think we've just settled into a very patient mode of waiting and our plans are laid out and we're just waiting to hear from the league.'' Pettine also said that he plans to provide Gordon with some quality reps during the first five practices of camp before his appeal hearing. "You don't want to say 'hey let's not put him in there' and all of a sudden the league comes back and it's not what you expected it to be, so I don't think you can go that way,'' Pettine said. "Since we're going to be receiver-by-committee for at least part of the year, I think rolling those guys in all different groups is going to be good anyway, because it also helps you with the quarterback situation. It's yet to be determined, but he'll get reps.'' The news of Gordon's rehab came a day after troubled Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon was arrested for marijuana possession in Oklahoma. Blackmon, the No. 5 overall pick in 2012, is on indefinite suspension from the Jaguars for his third violation of the substance abuse policy. Jaguars owner Shad Khan told the Florida Times-Union that he'll stick by Blackmon. "We want to keep him as a player,'' Khan said. "He's not part of the team now obviously, but it's very important for him to get the help. It's the most important thing. We want him to get help and really beat this.'' Blackmon averaged 100 yards a game for the Jaguars in the four games after serving a four-game suspension at the beginning of the season for violating the substance abuse policy a second time. He was later banned indefinitely and hasn't been able to get back into the league. A source close to Gordon said he fears Gordon will stumble like Blackmon has if he's banished from the league and left to his own devices. Last season, Gordon was suspended two games and docked four game checks for a failed drug test, presumably for codeine in his prescribed cough syrup. He went on to lead the league with 1,646 yards in only 14 outings. Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God. John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.

What did they do for Bess?
