The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... In theory, the DUI arrest of Gordon won’t impact his pending one-year suspension for his latest violation of the substance-abuse policy. The substance-abuse policy establishes a separate track for violations of the law relating to alcohol. Since Gordon has no prior DUI offenses, he may not be suspended; however, past suspensions for misconduct under the substance-abuse policy could expose him to suspension for a first DUI offense.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As PFT's Mike Florio explained, with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell or his designee handling the appeal of the proposed substance abuse suspension, knowing that Gordon has been popped for DUI likely won’t result in any discretion being exercised in his favor at the appeal hearing set for late July. And with a one-year suspension possibly resulting from marijuana issues and another suspension possibly resulting from his DUI arrest, Gordon's future is hazy indeed. ... Stay tuned. We'll obviously be following this one closely.
