"Hes created a lot of attention for hims
On Wednesday, NFL hearing officer Harold Henderson upheld Josh Gordons one-year suspension after the wide receiver violated the leagues Program for Substances of Abuse Policy by testing positive for marijuana. Nike Lunarglide 7 Kinder . The Positive Test Gordon barely failed his drug test. In order to test positive, a players urine sample must have a concentration of more than 15 nanograms per milliliter. As per the NFL Policy, Gordon submitted two samples for testing: Samples A and B. Of the two, only Sample A tested positive at 16 nanograms/milliliter, which was only one milliliter over the allowable limit. Sample B tested negative at 13.6 nanograms/milliliter. On appeal, Gordon argued that the positive test was the result of second-hand smoke. Gordon also pointed to testing irregularities given that Sample A was over the allowable limit, while Sample B was under it. The Statement Gordon released the following statement on his suspension, via the NFLPA: "Id like to apologize to my teammates, coaches, the Cleveland Browns organization and our fans. I am very disappointed that the NFL and its hearing office didnt exercise better discretion and judgment in my case. I would like to sincerely thank the people who have been incredibly supportive of me during this challenging time, including my family, my agent, my union, my legal team, and the Cleveland Browns staff." The Policy The NFL substance abuse policy provides that a player cannot engage in the "use, possession, acquisition, sale, or distribution" of banned substances. So the conclusion that the Policy directly covers second-hand smoke is not accurate. The clear implication of the language is that a player must himself be using the banned substance. If second-hand smoke were captured by the Policy, you would expect to see language like "exposed to" in the Policy. For that reason, Gordon introduced the second-hand smoke defence. Ultimately, however, the NFL didnt buy it. Next Steps For Gordon Gordon is losing a lot with this suspension. Apart from being out a full year, he wont be paid his 2014 base salary of $825,604. So expect Gordons legal team to consider all its options, including filing a lawsuit with a view to overturning the suspension. As part of the defence, Gordons lawyers could bring in a toxicologist to support the position that second-hand smoke could result in Gordons positive test. His lawyers would also argue that the test results are unreliable given that they are inconsistent. Heres the problem for Gordon: a Court will not interfere with an arbitrators decision unless a very serious mistake was made. Judges generally defer to the expertise of arbitrators. As well, the NFL Policy provides that all decisions are "resolved exclusively and finally", which means decisions are final and binding. Again, even if a decision is final, it can still be challenged in Court, but absent a clear error, it will not be overturned. So if Gordon does take this to Court, he will face an uphill battle. As well, expect the NFL to vigorously defend the case. The CFL According to one report, Gordon may try and take his talents to the CFL. However, a suspended player under contract to an NFL team is ineligible to play in the CFL. In any event, even if the CFL elected not to honor the suspension, Gordon is still under contract with the Browns and would therefore need the teams permission to play in the CFL. The Browns, of course, would not allow it. Rice v. Gordon There has been a lot made of Ray Rice only getting two games for knocking his fiancée unconscious, while Gordon got 16 games for allegedly smoking marijuana. While that reaction is completely understandable, it is important to note that drug suspensions are collectively bargained and agreed to by the players union, the NFLPA. On the other hand, domestic violence is governed by the Personal Conduct Policy, which was not collectively bargained and unilaterally imposed by the NFL (its noteworthy, though, that the late executive director of the NFLPA, Gene Upshaw, publicly supported the Policy, and Commissioner Roger Goodell did consult with some NFL players before it was implemented.) Of course, the absence of a collectively bargained punishment for domestic violence did not preclude a harsher suspension for Rice. However, from a legal standpoint, Rices reprehensible conduct is irrelevant when determining Gordons suspension. A Shame Gordon is a stud wide receiver. Since 1970 NFL-AFL merger, only Randy Moss and Jerry Rice have recorded more receiving yards in their first two seasons. Gordon also led the league in receiving yards in 2013, had the most yards-per-catch among receivers with over 1,000 yards and became the first receiver with two consecutive 200 yard regular season games. Amid all this controversy, one thing is clear: fans lose by not getting to watch Gordon play NFL football this season. And thats a shame. Rules are rules though. Nike Blazer Low Grau . -- After losing home-ice advantage on the final day of the regular season, the Montreal Canadiens couldve found satisfaction in splitting the first two games at Tampa Bay Times Forum. Nike Blazer High Schwarz .Y., Kevin Shattenkirk watched Rangers defenceman Brian Leetch score many big goals.LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Bill Self remembers having arguments with his own kids over who was better, Magic Johnson or Larry Bird, and the Kansas coach always went with the pride of French Lick. The reason was simple: The Lakers simply oozed talent, so Johnson didnt receive the sole attention of opposing defences. Bird was the key to the Celtics winning or losing. Thats why Self also goes with Thomas Robinson, the third-ranked Jayhawks star forward, when the debate turns to national player of the year. Anthony Davis has had a sublime season for top-ranked Kentucky, but hes surrounded by a cast of characters capable of 20 points a night. Without Robinson, the Jayhawks could be sitting on the NCAA tournament bubble. "Anthony impacts the game in a variety of ways, in some ways more than Thomas does, but his supporting cast is so strong," Self said. "I really believe Thomas has had the best year." Naturally, the Wildcats supporting cast is a big reason John Calipari would vote for Davis. "At the end of the year, hes going to end up taking 200 shots less than all those guys that theyre considering -- 200 shots less -- yet probably has as big an impact on any of these games," the Kentucky coach said. "What hes done defensively for us, what hes done offensively for us -- and hes done it in a way where hes not selfish in any way." Calipari is right that Davis will end up taking far fewer shots than most superstars. Hes also right that there are other deserving candidates for player of the year. Kevin Jones has been phenomenal for West Virginia. Doug McDermott has re-established Creighton as a mid-major darling. Draymond Green of Michigan State and Jared Sullinger of Ohio State have emerged as the two titans of the Big Ten. Still, Davis and Robinson are leading the pack for the national awards. In the Wildcats storied history, no player has landed one of the three major individual honours: the Wooden Award, Naismith Award or AP Player of the Year. Dan Issel didnt do it. Neither did Tony Delk, Jamal Mashburn, John Wall or Tayshaun Prince. Kevin Durant is the only freshman to win all three trophies in the same season. The Jayhawks have had their share of stars in recent years: Paul Pierce, Nick Collison, Mario Chalmers and Sherron Collins, to name a few. But they havent had anybody win national player of the year since Danny Manning won the Naismith and Wooden awards in 1988. No player from Kansas has won the AP award, which was first handed out in 1961. "Its a two-horse race, without question," Self said, "and theyre both thoroughbreds." So how best to handicap it? Start with the stats: David is averaging 14.1 points and 9.8 rebounds, and his 66.1 field goal percentage is among the 10 best in the country. The 6--foot-10 forward also has swatted 140 shots, and needs just 31 more blocks to break the SEC record set by Mississippi States Jarvis Varnado in 2009. Nike Shox Nz Eu 44 Weiß Blau. Robinson, meanwhile, is the only player in the Big 12 to average a double-double at 18 points and 11.9 rebounds. Hes been even better against ranked teams, averaging 19.8 points and shooting nearly 56 per cent against a group of opponents that includes Duke, Baylor and Missouri. Kentucky, too. Many forget that Davis and Robinson faced each other at Madison Square Garden early in the season. Davis finished with 14 points, six rebounds and seven blocks in his second college game, while Robinson turned in an 11-point, 12-rebound performance for Kansas. "If I had a vote, hed be my vote for player of the year," Texas coach Rick Barnes said Saturday night, after watching Robinson pile up 25 points and 14 rebounds in the Jayhawks 77-58 victory. "Just the way hes carried himself, playing against him -- hes terrific." Kansas guard Tyshawn Taylor considers he an astute observer of the game, and hes more than willing to share his opinion on just about anything. "Anthony Davis is a beast, man, he definitely is," Taylor said, "but I just dont see too many better than T-Rob. Especially when hes on top of his game." Davis has his own supporters, starting with the guys taking the floor with him. "Hes doing everything," Kentucky guard Doron Lamb said. "Hes always playing defence, hes always scoring. Hes always doing the right thing, really. I dont see him making no mistakes." "He gets his points so easily: rebounds, dunks, stuff like that," added freshman forward Kyle Wiltjer. "Hes come a long way on offence and defence." There are plenty of differences in Davis and Robinson. Davis is long and lean, while Robinson has muscles upon muscles. Davis prefers to work around the rim, using his quickness to get around post defenders, while Robinson has shown an improving mid-range game and the ability to extend defences all the way to the perimeter. There are also similarities. Both prefer to pawn off the attention on their teammates, giving them credit for their own success. Both have become the go-to player when things are going poorly, though thats rarely been the case this season. Both have led their teams to conference championships. Now, both of them are in the running for player of the year. "Hes created a lot of attention for himself," Taylor said Robinson, one of his best friends on the Jayhawks. "Hes the main focus of the scouting report, for sure, and Im sure teams talking about us say, If we stop Thomas, we have a chance to win the game." Sounds as if the Kansas guard would vote for Bird, too. wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap soccer jerseys wholesale jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap nfl jerseys china ' ' '
