Vincey Greene Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 He's on record as saying during the off season he keeps it real. Looks like he'll be keeping it real in the Arena League or Canada. What a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 So apparently the Saints are moving their preseason practices to West Virginia So depending on where you live in VA - you will be much closer to the Saints preseason than the Skins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supremebve Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 The crazy thing about the Josh Gordon thing is he blew a .09 the legal limit is a .08 he very well could have been trying to be responsible. Say what you want about the guy, but I'm willing to bet most of the people doing the whole righteous indignation thing have driven with a higher blood alcohol level than .09. I've been reading stuff about how he is stupid and how he is throwing everything away, and how he is out of chances all over a .09. How many of the sports writers judging him this harshly drive with a .09 regularly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading stuff about how he is stupid and how he is throwing everything away, and how he is out of chances all over a .09. How many of the sports writers judging him this harshly drive with a .09 regularly? A few issues with that argument, but I'd say that even people that drive 'buzzed' don't risk losing millions of dollars by doing it. I don't drink (another issue with the argument, assuming that most people drive after drinking), but if I did and got a bit buzzed and I could call a free car service and not risk losing millions of dollars and my career then yea, I'd be making a phone call. Personally I am not judging him but I sure as hell don't feel sorry for him and won't be making excuses for him, there is nothing responsible about what he did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgundy LaRue Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I agree that some are being santcimonious about the situation, but Gordon has to know better. He's already looking at missing a season, and then he gets behind a steering wheel after a couple of drinks. That's dumb to do no matter when, but especially if you're already waist deep in trouble for substance issues. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the risk of sounding like a dick, if you're already looking at a 1-year suspension for not being responsible, being "responsible" means that you probably shouldn't get behind the wheel of a vehicle unless your BAC is .00. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not disputing this, but .09 at 4:00 AM could very well be the I'm going to stop drinking and get something to eat and sober up before I go home.

It IS crazy for a guy already a step away from screwing up his best chance at financial security to do, especially when he likely has several options at his disposal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure the NFL has a sober-ride program available to every player as well. They do - and a lot of players are afraid to use it, fearing backlash from their teams and the league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 So that political blogger the Redskins hired to help defend the name? Yeah... he quit already as everyone realized he was the guy who ruined George Allen's governor bid for exposing Allen's love of using the word "Macaca" This has been my favorite thing about the name change debate - the fact that the Skins will vet absolutely no one 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricG Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Some of the newer or more pathetic franchises have some very limited selections to choose from. NFL's Most Memorable Plays http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls/_/category/5436/nfl-most-memorable-plays Cleveland's first two options are from 1950 and 1964. The last option is The Fumble in 1987. Buffalo's three options are Wide Right, the Music City Miracle, and Beebe running down Lett in the Super Bowl. It's sad when the only positive play was a hustle on a fumble return when they were already getting blown out. Detroit's include Dan Orlovsky running out of the back of the end zone.

RIPPA Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Actually a lot of the teams plays are on the negative side. I mean with the Giants - one is the Miracle at the Meadowlands and the other is LT breaking Thiesmann's leg Of course - I love that that is on the Giants list but not on the Redskins list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I am sad that Kellen Winslow's FG block in that epic playoff game is somehow tied with LT's breaking the TD record. Yeah, Tomlinson's season was awesome but Kellen's play is iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
