Randy Gregory to Apply for Reinstatement

[G2]

Well, today is 4/20.

Good luck randy, on getting through the day.

 

[speedkilz88]

LOL. Is that the time Gregory thinks the new league year starts?

Mr. TMZ still can't admit he was wrong.

We should all be rooting for Randy the man to turn his life around. The football player, well we are allowed to be skeptical.

I hope everything turns out good in his life and he's successful. But the team and the fans cannot count on him. His presence should not alter any draft plans or roster decisions. Anything we get from his is a bonus.

Well, never claimed I knew TMZ was right. I claimed they reported it and didn't know if it was true or not.

But at least I did know Gregory wasn't just twiddling his thumbs waiting for the new league year to start. Bet you hate that, don't you?

Heath, just say it dude lol.

You used the TMZ article as a source of evidence every. Sinlge. Time. Despite a lot of us telling you it was fake.

Just say you were wrong on this one, because it's true.

 

[Fletch]

So him coming back..

Does that alter our draft with DL?

Not at all.

I get that it doesn't happen overnight. I don't expect it to happen overnight. I smoked for 20+ years and know how hard it is to quit something. He was notified November 2016 that he was going to be banned from the league. He went through the appeals process and lost. He returned for the last 2 games of the 2016 season knowing he was going to be banned in January 2017. He knew he would be eligible to apply for reinstatement on 11/6/17. That would give him almost a full year to "be on course to file for reinstatement". That's not overnight.

During that year, it was reported by TMZ he failed another test. This was not denied by Gregory's people or the Cowboys. Jerry said he was "skeptical" of the report.

In October when he was nearing the time he could file for reinstatement, it came out that he wouldn't file. He had the desire to come back. There was a source that said he had a setback which would require counseling or another stint in rehab.

Now, for months they have been claiming Gregory wants to come back and is working to come back and working towards the path of being able to file for reinstatement. If I am to believe he has been clean for 17+ months (since the failed test that got him banished to begin with) then that path should have already been taken. It would concern me MORE if he has been clean this entire time yet still wasn't prepared to file 5.5 months after he could have. It would concern me to the point that instead of wanting him to come back, I would change my mind and want the team to cut ties with him.

He has already wasted the opportunity to participate in the off season program and in another 2 months will put training camp in jeopardy. That's not good for a player that has missed the better part of 2 years, save for a couple of games.

I'm looking at this from a most likely scenario based upon all the articles and limited information and trying to read between the lines that I can because I have followed this situation closely since I've wanted him to return...he most likely didn't take the banishment seriously last year, had a change of heart late last year, has a sincere desire to come back now, and is putting together a string of clean tests and therapy to show Goodell he is clean and deserves to be reinstated. That's most likely causing the delay and that is most likely the path towards reinstatement they are referencing.

I understand where you're coming from. I just don't think he was ready to reapply at the time. Not in his mind. Whether that was personal choice or whomever he's been working with to get him to where he needs to be. I wrote him off after the flurry of failed tests he piled up. But to me, there's no harm in pulling for the guy. If he's truly clean now and has his head in the right place, it would be beneficial to the team if he overcomes his issues and becomes a productive player for us. I would love to see him be a cog in the machine as well as knowing he overcame his addiction and has his life on the right track.

If it happens, it happens. He would be a great asset to the team if everything falls in place.

I'm hopeful for Gregory and I think Heath is a bit negative towards his situation but let's not act like any of us knew the TMZ story was wrong. People claim that about them all the time but no one comes back and acknowledges the many times that TMZ got it right. Some certainly said it was a fake report but no one knew that for sure...just hoping and guessing.

From Fisher- "UPDATE: We're told Randy Gregory camp is ready to present to NFL the fact the #Cowboys DE has passed a large number of drug tests, hasn't failed one since July 2016. https://t.co/Hjgu2CqRtC"

To confirm the TMZ report was completely fictitious.

You always run when we have these conversations. Before I waste my time on you a 4th time are you going to tuck tail and dodge my question.

Here is my question once again. What proof do you have the TMZ report is false? I've never claimed TMZ was right. I've always contended I didn't know. ALWAYS. My personal belief is that it's probably true. Not only that I believe he probably hasn't been clean until just recently. I've NEVER passed that off as fact. NEVER.

You have passed off as FACT, the TMZ report was FALSE. I've asked for proof of that, even saying I would be open minded to changing my mind.

You have provided NOTHING.

We don't know. The absence of a confirmed failed test does NOT equal Gregory being clean. Gregory filing for reinstatement does NOT mean he has been clean for 20+ months like you claim as FACT.

Yet, here you go again claiming I am wrong, when there is no verifiable information one way or the other.

I was for sure. The evidence was so one sided, and through it all still some latched onto it as being true.

Quincey apparently knows for fact it is false and has been claiming it for months. Stating it is an unconfirmed report bugs Quincy to no end.

IVE ANSWERED YOU A MILLION TIMES WITH PROOF THAT IT WAS WRONG IVE LITERALLY LISTED IT OUT FOR YOU MULTIPLE TIMES.

WHEN THE **** HAVE I TUCKED MY TAIL AND RAN?

Lol ****, what you've asked for is a report coming out saying the 2 year old TMZ report was fake, THAT'S NEVER GOING TO COME OUT. So it's a cop out ********. When Gregory applies to be reinstated it will confirm the report was fictitious despite us already knowing such.

 

[Bullflop]

So him coming back..

Does that alter our draft with DL?

Yes, it does -- Jerry will possibly spend a 2nd on a peg legged DT now, since Randy worked out so well.

Wow..so he hasn't failed multiple tests like it's been reported? Unbelievable. Good for him.

And you being wrong bugs you, and youll never admit to it.

Here you go.

NOW YOU SHOW US PROOF THE TMZ REPORT IS TRUE. YOU DO THE WORK.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

And don't come with ANYTHING other than a report saying the Gregorg report was in fact true.

That's all you would accept is a report showing the TMZ report was fraudulent. So now I'm turning the tables.

Dont reply if you dont have a report confirming the TMZ report.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'll be most curious about his football shape.

edit: I am rooting for the guy though
