When are people gonna realize the NFL and the NFLPA are practically the same thing. It's like the court appointing you... a public defender to get you off a murder charge. Good luck with that. Gregory should get himself a lawyer...and sue the crap out of the league. Weed has been legal for years now. :rolleyes:

How is not responding to your clients emails looking out for his best interest?

I have to hear this spin job.
I have no spin. If he represents randy, he is bound by a fiduciary responsibility to represent him well. I have no personal knowledge of any counsel he's given randy. I haven't seen any emails allegedly sent to him by randy. I doubt you have any personal knowledge of their communications either. So to just suggest the lawyer is blowing him off seems imprudent.

I'd bet money on you hitting the nail on the head.

Lol. That's how it is. The rules concerning fanbois is that typically you've made them look like a fool in the past so then they go stalking you in the hopes of getting even someday. In this case though, it was several occasions so the fanboi force is strong with this one.

Sounds like the nflpa rep wasn’t getting anything done. That’s all he said: “really? Ok.” He wasn’t even trying for Randy or Greggory doesn’t like what he said. Greggory should get his own lawyer.

What kind of idiot does this on Twitter?

Well... He’s most likely trying to pressure this guy to do something because he has tried privately to communicate with this guy.


The attorney at the very least needs to communicate with him.

It’s August and we need that guy.. Someone needs to step in and get the ball rolling one way or the other.

I understand Randy’s frustration and it is truly unfair of his rep to block him but randy is acting immature here IMO. Keep it off Twitter, keep it out of the public eye. Behind the scenes? kick, scratch, claw, leak to reporters ab being treated unfair but keep your name off it publicly.

randy put himself in this position, and yes he deserves another chance and it’s not fair how it’s being strung out (pun not intended) but this is the bs you have to deal with sometimes when you don’t follow protocol. That being said let’s hope this gets resolved and he can play.

Gregory's tweet clearly worked, he got 2300 likes on that tweet and the NFLPA attorney took him off block and replied.

The lawyer blocked Randy from being able to communicate with him. We can only take Randy at his word and the lawyer on his actions.

this is a forum where fans speak. Why do we need some exaggerated burden of from before we can speak on a subject? That just a message board tactic.

Lot of people with limited knowledge on both sides here having an extremely assumptive and hypothetical argument.

Those of you arguing either side are literally using a social media post of one individual showing that the other individual has blocked his social media account...and formulating all types of backstory.

The season really needs to start before you both hypothetically kill each other or lose your hypothetical minds, hypothetically speaking of course

which you are doing

because it’s all hypothetical

Don’t hyperventilate

Taking randy at his word is naive. Who suggested you or anyone else couldn't speak? Wasn't me. I commented on two possible scenarios and said i didn't know the facts.

It was the same for me, until I finally got blocked. It was hard to get over, but I managed.

How we know Randy's Atty hasn't/isn't communicating with via cellphone????? I'm having a hard time believing the league, NFLPA, Cowboys AND EVEN his Atty have all turned their back on Randy IF he's followed Goodell's protocol/treatment plan/program for reinstatement as required. My guess ( as stated before ) Randy is confusing the new CBA weed policy that it's now OK for NFL to smoke weed and stay in the league and that's true somewhat. But Randy's problem is he's on the outside trying to get back in and I'm guessing the league is requiring him to show where he's graduated from a certified treatment plan that includes producing CLEAN urine test. THAT IMO is the straw to his current issues coz we've seen nothing to suggest he stay clean long enough to pass a weed test ( 60 days ?? ). Remember he tested positive before his draft. Look, I'm not trying to beat the guy that down ( love to see him back in ) but the fact is Randy's a drug addict, plain and simple. Since his draft, he's never had stronger supporters in the league than Jerry and Stephen. They could have easily cut him several times and not missed a beat financially but they've stood by him. Hell, Stephen even included him in the DL rotation he thought we could expect earlier this year. That fact he and Jerry are silent speaks volumes IMO. After all, he's STILL a member of this team. I'm willing to bet a red penny the Cowboys have communicated with the league and know exactly why he hasn't been reinstated.

and yet his silence apparently hasn;t been forcing the issue either. He's not getting help from either the NFL offices, commissioner
or his NFLPA representative He's back is against the wall. So what else is he supposed to do ?
its' camp time already and randy wants to get an answer for an opportunity to get back into the fold.

Is there anyone else at the top of the NFLPA office that Gregory and his camp could turn to ?
What advice can his own agent give him in seeking legal help in his push and plea to the NFL office.

True that the NFL league offices needs to be multi-tasked in handling and organizing pandemic challenges and addressing
the reinstatement issues such as this. Whispers have it that because of the challenges of the pandemic crisis and departure
of certain personnel in the league offices, they are so back-logged and don't have the necessary working heads to expedite
Randy's process. But that's still on the league, and Randy should not have to be subject to that.
We dont know what's going on so you can't say he's not getting help from the nfl. Im sure Gregory, his Agent, and the cowboys know who to reach. And I'm not buying any covid related excuse, I'm sure there's an office dedicated to suspensions and disputes/appeals.

I'm not saying you're like this but that picture you painted for this whole situation is very similar to how too many people on social media think they know what's going on with any incident and job just by some sample size of info.
