Suspended Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon failed another league-administered drug test last month, Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reported Monday.

Citing a source with knowledge of test results, the report said a sample collected from Gordon in early March tested positive for marijuana and dilute.

Gordon applied for reinstatement in February. He was suspended for at least a year in early 2015 after testing positive for alcohol, a violation of rules set forth by the NFL stemming from a previous suspension.

You're taking me back to the good ol' days, Scotty boy!

Of about a year ago! :P

We can try for Justin Blackmon too.

There was a time that people were screaming we should trade as high as a second round pick for this guy. For perspective on that, our second round picks over the last few years have been Kawann Short, Kony Ealy and Devin Funchess.

Everyone here can point to an I-told-you-so. Everyone knew Gordon was a dumbass. Many of us just didn't know to what great extent his dumbassery would manifest itself. 

I just don't get it. The way these guys seem to love grass, I suspect that they'd take pot before pussy.

Meh. Yeah his judgement is absolutely abysmal, but I don't give a fug if he smokes weed. We've got players like Odell Beckham JR out here literally trying to take guys heads off, and people try to make him a victim and give him a slap on the wrist. That's not even mentioning the other off the field idiocy other players engage in yet continue to play. What's really important?

3rd round pick should do it now, but Gettledouche hates Cam, so we'll have to wait for Josh Gordan's next failed test in 2017. It will be down to a 4th round pick, and that might be cheap enough for Dollar Store Dave

I work in the financial industry.  Personally, I don't give a fug if a person has filed a bankruptcy in his life as long as that person has turned their life around.

You know who DOES give a fug about whether a person has filed a bankruptcy in his life during the interview/hire process?  The financial industry.

You want to work in a particular industry?  You want them to give you a job and pay you money?  Maybe you ought to do what that industry requires for you to work for them.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
