I thought the slide was borderline. Obviously, I'm biased in favor of the Yankees, but I thought it was a rather normal break up attempt. Though, I did think the cleats were a tad high. As for Odor and Bautista, I enjoyed seeing Bautista get lit because the Blue Jays and Yankees are rivals lol.

They were more than a foot high and wide which happened to be right at Holts calf who was not even standing so he could try to turn the play. I just thought his antics after wearing one were asinine.

Why should anyone care about your concern? You personal issues with addiction are your and yours alone. You are not a shrink, doctor, or anything similar nor have you presented evidence about relapses from that type of source.

You have wrecked your credibility by insisting on the possibility of the TMZ report absent any shred of corroboration.

Heck, you even misrepresent your own positions like leaving out the claim of a Cowboys nondenial in your dissembling.

There is no rational reason for anyone to take your position.

Gregory has great potential thats why he's been kept. If he can play even with just his raw ability, he is a force because of his quickness and shiftiness.

Will do my friend. Use to go to the speakers meeting with him and every meeting would be someone from out of town coming in to tell his or her story and how that got clean. Sometimes we would go to an AA meeting but they both were about the same.

Then why bring it up for multiple paragraphs as part of your narrative? Frankly, you are not believable.

And you keep parroting that you said Jerry was skeptical but your quote was:



"Skeptical" is quoted implying that it has extra meaning and given Jerry is the owner and GM of the Cowboys skeptical at face value is mutually exclusive with the failed test not being denied by the Cowboys.

I like this mystery routine you have going on saying i don't know your position and then not saying what your position supposedly is.

This conversation has been going on for 3 months in various threads. I've mentioned it many times. Sorry, I put skeptical in quotes.

So, I will let you know what my position is and explain how this all started. It will probably be long but and you can choose not to read it but at least you will know. If you choose to keep believing I'm off my rocker, then so be it.

After I joined, someone made a thread asking if anyone had heard anything about Gregory. I essentially laid out the following:

  • TMZ reported Gregory failed a test
  • Jerry was skeptical of the report
  • Gregory was eligible to apply for reinstatement on November 6th and decided not to
  • Nobody knows why
Because I mentioned TMZ reported Gregory failed a test, many people jumped down my throat claiming that there was no way that could be true. This spun off various arguments as people tried to justify TMZ being BS using excuses like the NFL would have reported it. I never cared if they believed the report or not, but would let them know the NFL wouldn't report it because they only report it when discipline is doled out and Gregory was already banished.

Other arguments that spawned had to deal with the timing of when Gregory could apply for reinstatement, whether there was a ban for life penalty and how long Goodell can take before making a decision. I cited and linked the actual drug policy to provide the information related to those topics, all the while being thought of some idiot, while just trying to share and receive information about Gregory. My referencing the actual policy was a joke yet someone hearing or reading something on Twitter was supposed to be more credible most of the time. Some times the people were thankful for getting the information from the policy.

Then Quincy would pop in other Gregory threads stating as fact the TMZ report was fake and requested that I prove the TMZ report was true. I always responded that I never passed it off as fact, that I didn't know if it were true or not, and I asked where he is getting that fact it is fake from and to share his source. He finally shared a source today, from a report today. I thanked him for that information earlier in this thread.

So, here is my position

  • I want Gregory to return
  • There is *some* reason he hasn't applied for reinstatement and we don't know why, but 5.5 months after being eligible doens't make since.
  • That reason is NOT because he has to wait for the new league year to start
In the absence of information being shared, we can only speculate. It is of MY OPINION, that he has probably not been clean. Based upon the information available to us, that seemed to me to be the most likely reason. Not only is it my OPINION that the TMZ report is probably true, I wouldn't be surprised to find out he failed a test late last year which caused a set back that was reported last October when it was said he may need additional counseling or rehab stint.

My opinion could be entirely wrong and I'm not married to it or close minded about it that I won't change it based upon new information that becomes available. For example. today it was just reported that Gregory may be waiting to file for reinstatement because if he gets denied he will have to wait 6 months to file again and then there is no timeline for when the NFL needs to make a decision. This is the first good explanation I have received in all these Gregory debates.

Now, I don't care if anyone agrees with either the facts I have shared or my opinions on the Gregory situation. Facts are facts and opinions can turn out to be right or wrong depending upon how things play out. But I believe none of what I have shared has been unreasonable.

TLDR.

I stopped after you tripled down on TMZ again.
