Josh Gordon’s appeal date with the NFL is set for Friday, August 1. The Pro Bowl receiver is facing a year-long suspension for violating the terms of the league’s drug policy again.
When he has his chance to defend himself in front of the NFL, he is taking the most ammunition he can find.
According to Adam Schefter, Josh Gordon has hired attorney Maurice Suh, who successfully argued on Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman’s behalf back in December of 2012. Sherman was facing a four-game suspension that would have kept him out of the playoffs. Suh’s defense centered around the collection process.
“The decision really relied most heavily on the collection problem, and it comes down to that the arbitrator believed Richard Sherman over the collector’s recounting of the facts,” said Suh after the Sherman case. “This is a case in which there were two different versions – the collector tried to refute what Richard had said about what had happened, and frankly, we didn’t feel the collector was believable and we tried to bring that up in cross examination.”
Gordon is appealing in order to get his suspension reduced in hopes of playing this year.

Mr Gordon, you failed to provide a speciman for a mandantory collection…um we’re screwed
Right. Collection was not the issue.
The more I learn about Richard Sherman, the less I like him.
At least he isn’t waiting until the last minute
Just in time to file an extension.
Should have hired Ray Rice’s.
So in closing, you see that my client did not in fact partake in “Puff, puff, pass” but instead merely “puff.”
Maybe he DID provide it and the collector just forgot and didn’t turn it in.
Or the ever rare “pass, pass, Pass”
Try on the glove Mr Gordon
6 month about right for an extension?
“pass, pass, pass” sit and breathe
If the blunt ain’t lit, you must Acquit!
The Ryan Braun strategy!

Deny, deny, deny.
we might need him for February 🙂
if it was Braylon Edwards, the attorney could just say he dropped the pass
You forgot the “frame” part what he and his lawyers did to that poor guy who collected his sample was beyond wrong. I never heard if the collector was suing Braun or not personally I hope so and I hope he wins.
Pass, pass, pass, punt. /fixed
