Twitter: Update: Gregory appeal hearing is going forward in NY today - Post #135

Any chance Goodell and Gregory are sharing a blunt right now?

This would be amazing. And possibly help our cause?

Gregory's own action? Wasn't he in rehab while he was scheduled for a test? So since he was in rehab trying to solve his addiction why did the NFL schedule a test during that time and is now trying to punish him for missing it?

I could understand that he got caught smoking. But for god sakes Gregory was in rehab trying to wean himself from doing drugs.

That doesn't make much sense.

Was he? he had returned to Dallas and was working out daily at the Star. When you have been popped as many times as he has they expect you to make an effort not excuses. I hope the best for him but damn he knows these test are coming when you are in this part of the drug program. Last thing this guy needs is more excuses he needs to take control of the situation.

When is this roller coaster going to end?

Not so fast

Party pooper

I think his point is that Gregory has put himself into this situation to begin with. I don't think he's talking strictly about the missed test. He's talking about the fact Gregory is even in the protocol to begin with. That's all on him.

I guess they could have also scheduled a test last Sunday while Gregory was in Philly. He'd certainly would've miss that one too, for good reason I suppose.

Meanwhile Floyd is eligible to play for NE after blowing 3x the legal limit with video evidence of him falling a sleep while drunk at the wheel.

And he played well for them.

I think we should have taken a flier on him personally.

He'd probably be facing the commish had we done so, Syd...

Hardy har har

This will go to Supreme Court if they proceed without representation for Gregory.

Does this mean he can play?

Oh well it was fun while it lasted. 2 whole games!!

 

[ElGatoGrande]

Hopefully having just gone through a stint in rehab will be enough to get a favorable ruling, another long suspension would probably end him.

 

[MileyDancer]

They already did - with the collusion against the Cowboys and the Commanders for loading money into the uncapped year even though there was nothing written that said they couldn't.

And the fact like 6 other teams did the same thing.

 

[JohnsKey19]

I just bust out laughing after seeing this!!

 

[jobberone]

Interesting. Probably not the best move by the commish. Not into conspiracy theories but my guess is he was pressured. Must be pretty cut and dry.

 

[CATCH17]

The hope is that Gregory was in rehab and that is why he missed the test.

Anyone who thinks the League office is impartial needs to go to the Off Topic zone and read the transcript of Hardy's meeting with the NFL. Hardy's attorney walked through all the reasons the DA had to drop all charges and the NFL suspended him for four times as many games as their rules allowed, for an offense that that had been proven as a false accusation.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Of course the hearing continues and of course the guy will be suspended for eternity. He plays for the Cowboys and not NYG and Pitt.
