Hi Hyperbole. Nice to see you again!

Not to mention, he had one test of his sample actually pass. The other sample barely failed a ridiculous standard. The NFL standard is 10 times stricter than even the WADA standard. In the NFL, 15 nanograms is a failed test. A single hit of average marijuana is 500 to 1000 nanograms. Higher grade (aka chronic), which I would assume players would use since they can easily afford it, would be a whole lot higher.
Bottom line. The players have a 50% say so in the drug policy and they vote on it. The problem is most of these morons blow through their money on stupid shit, they sold out as fast as they can to get the money flowing.

They could change the limits on what's passing/failing. Again, much of this is on the players as well.

For the Gordon situation. The amount that was discovered in his system is next to nothing. You could get that much in your system from parking next to a group of people smoking it in a car and they open their door the same time you do and you breathe in some of the smoke.
So you've already failed 2 drug tests and you think it's a good idea to be around others smoking dope knowing 2nd hand smoke could potentially give you a positive reading?

Do I really need to state much of a dumbfuck you have to be to actually do this? Me calling Josh Gordon a dumbfuck wouldn't even justify his stupidity. He deserves every bit of it because he's too god damn stupid to stop smoking weed (or being around it) to salvage his career.
