    As I said in part of a post earlier though.

     

    Gordon has messed up a lot of the last year. He isn't a one time "oops" offender. I could see that being a sticking point as to him keeping a suspension of 6-10 games. After his last criminal offense a teammate tweeted out about how we need to pray for Gordon and think about him as a man, and not a player. Things got bad. I wouldn't be surprised if a suspension lingered past an instant reinstatement.

    Here’s a hypothetical: You were charged and convicted of a crime in the Winter of 2013 and immediately filed an appeal after the conviction. Sometime in 2014, the Court of Appeals affirms your conviction.

     

    In the above hypothetical, your conviction does not become final until the Court of Appeals affirms your conviction. So if a new law is enacted while your case is on appeal, you get the benefit of that law.

     

    How does this apply to Gordon? In a legal sense, I would argue (and believe) that Gordon’s suspension didn’t become final until his appeal was decided. Harold Henderson decided Gordon’s appeal on August 27.

    Would not be a good look for Gooddell to suspend Gordon but not Welker. For the casual observer it looks like a black guy getting suspended for what is considered a low class drug while the white big market guy gets let off with a more elitist drug. We all know it is more complicated than that but for a league primarily concerned with image, and which has the NOW on its back, it's not what they want.
