News: Gregory Suspended for a year

[phildadon86]

This is the NFL, not the baby sitting league for Addicts

I pray your kids nor your family ever battle addiction. Id love for you to visit a rehab facility to see how difficult having an addiction is. Would you have told KC to drop Eric Berry when he had cancer? Probably not. Addiction is a disease. You are uneducated and really need a reality check.

@nickeatman The NFL has officially suspended Randy Gregory for one year. He will not be able to participate in this upcoming postseason.

Yeah, this kind of pisses me off, coming on the heels of that picture of the entire Giants WR corp on the boat, along with that rapper dude, who was clearly holding a joint. What a joke.

 

[Risen Star]

Or maybe hopefully he turns it around and becomes a great player?

No. Hopefully that's it for his Cowboys career. I don't believe in unicorns and flying pigs.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Appeal to the courts and then play in the playoffs.

One game. Shady NFL and Mara.

But he was then released and is out of the league.

 

[phildadon86]

Gregory has now failed six tests in two years. At least.

John Brown beat his wife over 20 times. I dont think the comparison is fair. IMO

 

[Zimmy Lives]

No not a shock.

And again we get the flood of "The Cowboys should release him."

They don't have to pay him so why bother releasing him?

Either he's going to get it through his head or the Cowboys will retain his rights and never have to pay him.

There's no downside in retaining his rights.

This.

He still gets to work out and be a part of the team, he just can't practice and play in games. He's young (24) so why cut him.

 

[Broges74]

***?? He misses a test, has no representation and NFL just does whatever. Man... I want to boycott.... For real..

 

[Direwolf63]

He looks happy.

If Gregory wants somebody to blame, all he has to do is look in the mirror.

This has nothing to do with Mara, and everything to do with the actions of Mr. Gregory.

Well, he was released by the Giants and will likely never kick again.

 

[dallasfan4lizife]

Is this going to be a distraction headed into our playoff game? Nah.

 

[The Natural]

Appeal to the courts and then play in the playoffs.

Dont think he can do that.

That's six failed/missed tests in two years.

 

[BoysfanfromCanada]

So he's suspended until next years playoffs or how does this work? Just a shame.

Hopefully its one year, and not the type that requires re-instatement. Because you know they'll take their sweet time with that, not like this expedited case.

I feel like if Rappaport or Schefter (whichever one) didn't tweet that his appeal will be heard after playoffs, this wouldn't have been sped up like it was.

 

[Sportsdude360]

Terrible news.

 

[erod]

This is exactly why Jason Garrett didn't want him. But Jerry wouldn't listen.

 

[phildadon86]

Well, he was released by the Giants and will likely never kick again.

Maybe not a football. But the NFL dropped the ball on his one game suspension. i think that was the argument

How are these two things remotely related?

 

[YosemiteSam]

no surprise, his career is over, Dallas should just release him and move on, he won't go six month's without failing another test, he's an addict!

Two of his suspensions were missed tests, not failed test. The NFL treats them the same. The issue at hand is they said he missed a test due to him being in the rehab facility.

If that in fact is the case, I hope the Cowboys take this to court.
