So Gordon and Blackmon can't keep the their destructive habits in line, but Dez Bryant can.
Hmmm.

Pretty interesting. I don't know if he wrote every word himself, but I think he makes a hell of a case for the CHIEFS TO DO WHATEVER THEY CAN TO GET HIM NOW... sorry... got ahead of myself.

His attorney and PR firm wrote a nice piece. Cleveland should have kept his handler with him at all times.

In his own words he's not a big drinker. But, the first opportunity that presents itself when he thinks he won't be tested he has 4 alcoholic beverages mid-air.
Josh, you can't control yourself. The NFL imposes drinking sanctions on players with drug issues because alcohol leads addicts into making more bad decisions.

He claims he doesn't have any addiction issues after all the drug and alcohol related issues.
So he defense is he is a complete idiot who constantly makes bad choices. So much better. |

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this seemed like a very sincere piece. And I might actually believe him. I agree with Gordon... testing for alcohol use seems really strange. He made a ton of facts (e.g. testing just above the BAC level when he got busted for DWI and that he isn't much of a drinker) that could easily be busted up by anyone who knows his behavior. Will be interesting to see if anyone calls BS. |

If what he is saying is true, then we're talking about a guy getting busted in a big way for really minor infractions. Don't get me wrong. He deserves to be busted. But it makes me think a lot less of him if he's truly getting busted for non-addictive behaviors. To some degree, it might just be really bad luck.

So the season was over and he thought he could have a drink? Did I read that right? But the league is going to test him as soon as he gets to Vegas. That's pretty messed up IMO. Makes me think that someone on the flight snitched him out.

I think that it's really unrealistic to expect any NFL player to give up drinking entirely. If that's really what Gordon got busted for, it seems like a really strange rule. So is he going to get suspended if he has a glass of champagne for NYE?

He isn't allowed to drink. He knows this.

How many pro athletes have been busted for drinking alcohol in moderation?
I'd be curious to know if the no alcohol policy is a common punishment following a dwi or substance abuse penalty. If it isn't, it's strange that it was for Gordon. If it is, I have a really, really hard time believing every athlete busted for those things stayed completely sober during their entire probation. If he's telling the truth, it sounds like he got busted for the equivalent of jaywalking to me. |
