DMN: Gregory Unlikely To Win Appeal

"Anyway, we caught up with Randy Gregory on Wednesday. When I walked in the locker room, he was packing his stuff up, kind of quickly getting out of there, didn't want to talk, and he was asked if he had heard anything yet on how the appeal went, basically, and if he had heard any kind of result from the NFL and he said, 'I know nothing.' So, he's basically saying he hasn't heard anything and he's waiting to hear as well. The bottom line here with this Gregory situation is: The NFL is going to make a ruling on Gregory before the Cowboys' playoff game. They're not going to let this thing play out with the appeal process going through. It does take a long time usually for some of this stuff to go through the process, but once you have the appeal, the NFL usually makes a ruling pretty quickly, and they're not going to allow Randy Gregory to play without making a ruling one way or the other. It's unlikely for him to win an appeal. Most players always lose these kind of appeals because the bottom line is: He missed a drug test in November. There's really no good excuse for missing a drug test, so it's going to be hard for him to win this appeal."

Thanks Grego!

There's really no good excuse for missing a drug test

Except when someone is staying at an inpatient drug rehab, where you're unable to communicate with the outside world (usually for 30-90 days).

That is, of course, if the rumors I've heard are true.

However, even that doesn't seem likely to me, because if he did miss a drug test due to being in rehab, then surely he could authorize the rehab place to corroborate his story.

I just heard a rumor that he lost the appeal and will be suspended for 1 year. I also heard that Jerry is furious about it too. Bummer

I think the problem is that he checked into that rehab clinic right before his test was scheduled. As in, he was trying to avoid having to take it.

Interesting, I haven't caught that part before. That does seem fishy.

 

[JBS]

Of course he's going to lose the appeal

Why the heck would anyone think otherwise? Plain dumb

 

[Doomsay]

Two journalists' opinions, nothing from the NFL here, but Gregory's body language doesn't inspire confidence.

do you have a link to what you heard or are you just trolling.

 

[Idgit]

Nothing new here. When was the last time a player outright won an appeal? Even a reduction in games at this point doesn't help us any.

And this is Gregory's fault, remember. And not the league's.

 

[Everson24]

No ,I don't have a link but it is from a very reliable source.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

RIP his career

 

[Everson24]

Now I wish we had never seen him play this year. It's going to hurt more if our right dfensive end can't get any pressure when we really need it.

 

[Daillest88]

Remember this fellas. Look at all the other players who have to wait forever to hear something from there hearing. Funny how this is coming up so fast

Another year long suspension would be cruel. Jerry better raise hell.

Edit: wow

 

[pugilist]

won't have him next year either
