Twitter: Update from Randy Gregory himself

[JJHLH1]

To be blunt, I’m not sure he’s coming back.

This discussion is in the weeds until we get an official ruling.

It takes a joint effort to get reinstated.

I see what you did there.

I didn’t mean to stir the pot.

If true, another difference from Gordon. Gregory started his process 3 months before Gordon did.

Does anyone ever take responsibility for their own actions? How many chances did you have Randy before you decided to get your act together and now you want to play the victim?

It would be nice to see him back but I have zero sympathy for him.

Exactly.......to think the league is somehow singling him out is BS IMO.

 

[Corso]

Good luck Randy.

 

[dfense]

I'm rooting for him as a person. Take charge and make it happen.

Just don't complain. You did this to yourself.
Your future is in your hands.

And I don't think Randy is the one blaming the pandemic here. He's claiming the league has told him that the reinstatement process is taking time because they are also dealing with pandemic. If that's what they said, that's pretty weak on their part.

Reading is fundamental. He clearly stated, the powers that be, gave him that excuse.

 

[Starforever]

Dont sniff, get stiff.


Translated for the brainded: dont do drugs, so you dont need to blame someone else that you suffer the consequneces.

He is not blaming anyone for his suspensions. He is upset, because they are dragging his reinstatement. Two different issues.

Makes me feel good that Randy knows he’s healthy and can pass tests. Crazy how long the league has waited, at least let him know in the next few days so he can get a bit of conditioning in before pads.

Per that article,

“In May, Gregory met by video conference with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, a necessary step before he could be granted reinstatement. But the person said Gregory hasn’t been able to prove via testing he conforms with NFL policy on substances of abuse due to pandemic challenges. He’s expected to have access to that testing again this weekend, the person said.”

This is probably a result of the pressure being applied by Gregory’s team. Good for him.

The organization is not exactly helping him either.

Well, he knew the rules before he decided to do drugs, didnt he ?

Not different issues. You do something you know is not ok, dont argue that afterwards you should be treated else.

Btw: i know Godell makes his own rules. And i am not at Godells side.

The league doesn't have a sterling reputation for being unbiased and treating players equally imo. They are inconsistent and random at best for discipline in all matters from drugs to dv to on field actions.

 

[Hennessy_King]

The kid was really addicted and the fact they suspended for weed didnt even feel like a chance to me. So to me this is his real chance and should be his last

 

[Alexander]

Off topic but anyone notice that maliek Collins signed for 6 million with the raiders. Surprised we didn’t try to match that for a year.

That would have been stupid.

 

[Alexander]

In 2018, RG played in 14 games and got 6 sacks (less than half-a-sack per game).

Considering we flamed out — as usual — in the divisional round of the playoffs, Randy didn’t make enough of a difference to matter.

6 sacks would have ranked him second to Quinn last year.

And what is this "less than a half a sack per game" nonsense?
