That was a great letter, but I would like to see some people step up and tell us what he is saying is true and I haven't heard that yet -- from anyone.

Yeah, my work has randoms on occasion and I was around some in-laws once who were...partaking of the weed, and I asked them about that (one of them worked at a drug test facility). She told me you'd have to inhale a LOT of second hand pot smoke to register on the tests. Methinks Josh is telling lies.

That's just so very, very stupid. One would think he'd have to miss at least one more season, and there's reason to think they might make an example out of him and ban him for life.
I wish I could say I am shocked, this guy had talent but he cant seem to get out of his own way. And now we here Johnny Football is living with him.......Oh Boy, two people who should not even be in the same room together living it up in LA
Why? If he did really fail another drug test again, there's no reason why he shouldn't be banned. He's gotten his fair share of chances, and he keeps blowing them. At some point, you just have to ban a guy like that. Justin Blackmon was pretty much the same way. After getting multiple opportunities, he was eventually banned. Of course, if somehow this isn't true or there's more to this (as Gordon on his twitter claims "hear my side of the story") then we'll just have to see.

They tell the players when the drug test is. How stupid does one have to be to fail it this many times?
The guy literally chose smoking over millions of dollars. You have to know his agent laid it out for him that it was either smoking and selling used cars, or getting clean and earning millions playing football.
I heard on the radio that he tested positive but it was under the "illegal limit" or something like that. No sure what that means though.
