Josh Gordon - the best wide receiver in the NFL - may be benched for the season resulting in a wave of heartbreak and very early shattered dreams across Cleveland, Ohio.

ESPN reports that Gordon denies knowing anything about the test or the rumors:
"That's something you're going to have to talk to [agent] Drew Rosenhaus about. I really don't know anything about it."
Asked whether he planned to dispute the test, Gordon said: "I'm going to have to find out about that later. You need to call Drew."
Drew denies the rumors, of course - but this story is very believable knowing that Gordon was sidelined just this past season for failing a drug test for Codeine (which... he denied was for recreational use, of course).
Cleveland must have done something in the past few months to offend God, because our season may have been slayed already - breaking this news on our city only a single day after the most optimistic day of the year for Browns Fans.
The publicity across major sports & news stations, with continued jabber throughout the Draft makes me think that this is being blown up intentionally to make an example of Gordon. If a failed Marijuana test can sideline the best wide receiver in the league for an entire season, then all other players take notice.
Thank goodness this happened during the draft so Browns have time to recover another solid wide receiver for the year in case this does wind up kicking Gordon out for the season. However, if this is true, regardless of who is picked up, the damage would be devastating.
