Not sure how much they can get for Gordon, if reinstated. He's one strike away from getting "Blackmon-ed". Too bad, he's really good when available.

Too bad the league is keeping us from watching one of the most talented players of his era with archaic rules. Josh Gordon is a joy to watch. The league is less good without him.

I mostly agree, imo pot should be legal everywhere, but the rules were there long before he set in the league and the overwhelming majority of players seem to be able to deal with them and keep themselves eligible to play...Gordon just didn't want to play by the same rules...we can't make that a league problem.

I was tired of facing his ass anyway with the CBs we have....great player though, hope he can figure this out while he still has the goods.

It's not like pot is performance enhancing, lol. Well, unless the sport is competitive eating...

I'm not even that bent out of shape about HGH...roids, yes. Even though I think MLB was wrong to throw the players under the bus, they had to clean that...roids can take yrs off your life.

All this time I never noticed your Rochester location...some 20 yrs ago now I was downsized out of my gig in Philly and they wanted me to transfer to somewhere outside of DET and I didn't think so...had an interview in Rochester with Kodak...in FEB....getting off the plane, oooooh brother...talk about cold...I couldn't wait for that interview to be over.

I didn't get the job...thankfully, but I never forgot that bone chilling day...had to be zero.

We've had a very mild winter this year (until the past week that is). We had been unseasonably warm (or less cold for southerners lol) with only trace snowfall here and there. Last weekend we got into the single digits and even negative temps with a warm-up on Monday, only to get 12-18" dumped on us on Tuesday. Can't escape it all season, I guess...

Credit global warning...lol...same here actually...typically ATL gets 30s at night and high 40s low 50s during the day JAN/FEB...we had about 5 days or so in the 20s, and the high was 35 or lower, but more than our share of 60s...knock on wood that continues...today, and into the weekend low to mid 60s...El Nino maybe.

At the same time we've had ice at the Masters in April before, then 65 a day later so I guess we take the good with the bad.

We actually almost hit 60 yesterday, one week after topping out at about 3 degrees last Saturday. Melted at least 2/3 of the snowpack from Tuesday's storm already. El Nino has been kind to us this winter.

NFL Withheld Millions From Players

"NFL to return the money to the shared revenue pool immediately, which, if the union’s calculations are correct, should increase the salary cap for the 2016 season by about $1.5 million per team."
