    That seems to me to be too much control over a mans life.

    A person should be able to have a few drinks and as long as he does so within the LAW; why should the NFL interfere and punish? If I was Josh Gordon and there was any way I could possibly pull it off I'd be taking out a LAW SUIT on the NFL.

    Josh Gordon was going to be suspended for the entire 2014 season for repeat alcohol and drug violations. The NFLPA negotiated a new drug policy which resulted in his suspension being reduced to 10 games. I believe the alcohol testing was part of the negotiation.
