Soxfest Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Josh Gordon has flunked yet another drug test and will be subject to a one-year suspension. Details aren't yet known, but should trickle out within the next 48 hours. Gordon was suspended ten games to open the 2014 season for multiple failed drug tests. The Browns also suspended him for Week 17 following a violation of team rules. There were postseason rumors the Browns might try trading Gordon this offseason, but the latest ban effectively torpedoes his trade value. The Browns may outright release him shortly.

As part of his treatment, he was told not to drink. He drank. Thus, it is illegal. If people are arrested for DUI, they can be asked to take twice-daily sobriety tests. I know a guy that had to do it for like 2-3 months, and then he was asked to stay sober beyond that too (and if found intoxicated, it could land him in hot water, though they wouldn't necessarily track him daily).

I know a guy that had to do it for like 2-3 months, and then he was asked to stay sober beyond that too (and if found intoxicated, it could land him in hot water, though they wouldn't necessarily track him daily). When a close relative of mine had a DUI (and I volunteered to drive him to work every day so he could keep his job), he had all kinds of different sobriety-related things. For one, he had to take a course that met 3 days a week and he had to breathalyze at all of those. He also had to go check in two other times per week, on average, within 12 hours of an automated call telling him he has to do so. He was also advised that police could come to his residence and administer a random check with no suspicion. Any trace of alcohol on any of those tests and he may have had to do hard time. First-time offender, DUI did not cause a car accident. Oh, and for two years after that he had to have a breathalyzer-enabled ignition. It would also require him to blow every 10-15 minutes while driving or else it would shut off the car. If anyone blew above 0.00, it would automatically page the police. He had to pay something like $50/mo. for that in addition to $150 startup fee. Edited January 26, 2015 by Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 QUOTE (Jake @ Jan 24, 2015 -> 03:37 PM) http://dailycaller.com/2015/01/23/physics-...-science-video/ Physicists say that if the balls were inflated at league minimum indoors, they would absolutely lose 1 PSI or more just by being out in the cooler weather. Also, look out for some wacky political references standard Ideal Gas Law: pV=mR*T p=pressure (psi), gauge pressure plus atmospheric pressure V=volume (in3) m=mass R*=gas constant T=temperature ® You have scenario 1 (indoors, 70F) and scenario 2 (outdoors, 50F). Mass, volume and gas constant are constant for both, so the equation can be rewritten as: (p1V1/mR*T1)=p2V2/mR*T2) p1/T1=p2/T2 p1=12.5 psi (gauge pressure) + 14.7 psi (atmospheric pressure) = 27.2 psi T1=70F=529.67R T2=50F=509.67R p2=p1T2/T1 p2=26.2-14.7=11.5 psi So that's a psi drop just from the temperature change. I really doubt that the NFL rules are detailed enough to state the temperature at which the ball's pressure should be measured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Haha...my buddy that is a physicist & engineer (or as I call him, professional student). Shows how simple it should be able to prove whether it was elements vs. an actual act. If the patriots filled the ball in a warm room to the minimum required pressure, they could deflate under the required pressure, depending on the difference in temperature between where they were filled and the playing field. You could tell if they purposefully deflated them by how far under the minimum it was, but I doubt the NFL will ever release those numbers because anyone with a basic science or engineering background could do the math.

Shows how simple it should be able to prove whether it was elements vs. an actual act. He also said if you want the balls to deflate, knowing the conditions, you could just inflate the balls with pretty hot air. You'll meet standards but get natural deflation out of them (along with the elements during a cold game). Said you could essentially manufacture the balls to get that PSI reading and move it down.

Chisoxfn Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 How come ESPN keeps talking about the balls being deflated by 2 PSI. According to PFT, 10 of the 12 balls were under-inflated by 1PSI (not two), which makes weather and natural deflation and even better argument? What's next is the report is going to come out that the ball boy stopped at the restroom to take a leak prior to delivering the balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
