My understanding is they test rookies 4 times a year but after the rookie year they are tested once in the off-season.  I have seen conflicting reports, so maybe that's not current policy.

You could be right. When I looked it up it was tricky to find anything straight from the NBA.

Maybe I would and maybe I would not.  Not really my decision to make (and I don't have the expertise to say).

My initial point was solely based on the premise that he did in fact break the rule.  I do not have sympathy for rule breakers.  If he did in fact use marijuana (I don't want to argue that point), he had to know the potential consequences.  And still chose to jeopardize his career?

I agree with your point, Gordon broke the rules and deserves the punishment.  My point was really addressing the rule itself and given we're legalizing marijuana use one state at a time it would make sense to treat marijuana use the same as alcohol use.

Remember this is from the guy that never tried drugs and doesn't drink so I'd be okay if both were banned or legalized and taxed.

Josh failed at least 4 test for dope and got a dwi before he talked to the commissioner after failing the most recent test. He's an idiot I don't feel bad for him at all.

I hadn't followed this guy's career that close, but when you say "dope" was there a positive test for something other than weed?

No, dope as in weed, as in pot, as in kush, as in Mary J, as in Hash, as in Sticky Green, as in Party Candy as in MJ's special sauce in Space Jam.

Wrong.

Failed one for codeine in a prescription, and his 70th test for weed by 1 nG.

No he tested positive in college. Failed at least another test in the nfl. He's failed 6 drug tests since 2010 including the latest one. [URL]http://www.dawgsbynature.com/2013/6/14/4428588/thoughts-on-josh-gordon-and-his-suspension[/URL]

Ha ha yeah so I guess it was 3 times in the nfl and 3 in college. Either way he's an idiot and he's throwing away a golden opportunity to make a lot of $$$$$.

No argument here. I won't touch the stuff out of fear of losing my job (one of a few reasons...). I definitely wouldn't if 8 figures were on the line.

Yes, looking forward to watching the Green Bay Packers woop up on the Seahawks.  Pay back for the BS that occurred a couple of years ago.

I really hope you are right. I'm just not nearly that confident in GB. Id love to see 35-17 packers win but a new nose tackle and a new center doesn't bode well for GB on the road. If I had to bet I'd say 28-24 Seattle but I hope I'm wrong.

Big game tonight for the Pack.  Hate to see them go down like the Badgers did Saturday.  That'd be a tough way for us to start the year!

      Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner.

      Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
