Well he can appeal this to the courts. At least that was my point.
Name one pot head player who has.

Yeah, not going to happen.Name one pot head player who has.
The two Williams in Minnesota are the last ones I recall appealing a drug related suspension to the courts. Otherwise its usually physical abusers and cheaters who appeal to the court system.Name one pot head player who has.
Frankly I don't even care. Just chalk it up as a wasted draft pick and move on. There are other players available via the draft with similar skills but with none of the headaches.Yeah, I assumed this was coming the day before our playoff game.
So how exactly does a year suspension work? Does he get credit for the playoff games he is missing this season? Or does he just automatically have to sit out all of next year? Playoffs included? He should definitely appeal this decision.
My guess is he's in the same boat as Aldon Smith where he has to apply for reinstatement. Therefore even after the one year suspension is served, it's not a given that he'll be allowed to play again. Might as well just say "suspended indefinitely"....but not in the Duke Grayson Allen way.I think it's exactly just that... he will be eligible to play again 1/6/2017. The thing I don't like is the "at least" part? What does that mean? It's a year unless he has further violations? Or is he gone a year minimum and he is then eligible to return at the commissioners discretion?
I just read that he can apply for reinstatement on November 26th.My guess is he's in the same boat as Aldon Smith where he has to apply for reinstatement.

Exactly. Even though many of us bemoan that “it’s just pot” everyone knew the federal government and league’s policy on pot when they decided to take a risk on the guy.The organization knew the league rules when they drafted Gregory and they knew he had a history with pot. They need to recognize their bad decision and move on from him. The lawmakers will have to deal with the legal issues.
See Aldon Smith, this way the Man, Roger Goodell, can show he is powerful in stuff.I think it's exactly just that... he will be eligible to play again 1/6/2017. The thing I don't like is the "at least" part? What does that mean? It's a year unless he has further violations?

The sad thing is the vast amount of players who do smoke weed but never get busted. It's not a matter of if you can smoke weed in the NFL. You just can't be a retard about it.the guy is going to go into a second contract and only played about 6 games. The only way we can really bring him back is if he takes a contract very similar to his rookie year deal and gets counseling. This guy worked himself out of roughly 15 million dollars already given he wont get anywhere near a 2nd year deal for pass rushers in the NFL, he better come back with his head on straight.
And no IDGAF if players smoke pot. Rules are rules, abide by them at your job.
Yes to all, specifically McKinley or Taco Charlton. Should have a pick of a bunch of nice DE/DT's in this draft. Should be fun to watch this defense growCarl Lawson!
Taco Charlton!
Takkarist McKinley!
Charles Harris!
