Repeatedly breaking probation. The rule isn't the problem, it's stupidity.

I'm not saying he isn't dumb but why should the NFL care if the guy is getting stoned? It's not giving him an unfair advantage in the game.

I agree. I don't smoke pot. I have before, but nearly everyone has. Greg Hardy power bombed his girlfriend on a bed with assault rifles underneath it. If not for the Rice incident he would've gotten a 3 game suspension. Ray Lewis is basically a God in Baltimore and he killed a man (don't care what he was convicted of). Its pathetic. Josh Gordon will go down as the biggest waste of God given talent in recent memory. The guy has hall of fame ability.

And he's a dumbass for continuing to smoke weed knowing damn well he will get caught.

He had alcohol in his system, which violates the probationary period stemming from a DUI charge in the summer (when he and PJ swapped cars). This one has nothing to do with his weed habit. Even if it did though, it's not about a particular practice as much as it is his clear and repeated disregard for the rules.

He's now likely ruined his career just so he could have a drink. A shame because this guy had the talent to be a great receiver for a long time.

The Royal Rumble was crazy and the fans got so mad I heard they were blocking in wrestlers cars.

I've been geeking out on the Google Fiber news for the past hour at work, sending links to my dept. They are all like "What the hell is a Google Fiber?"

Does this mean that the arena could actually get some decent wifi?
