Josh Gordon discussion

[Kbiz]

It's obvious poor JG will never hold himself accountable for his own mistakes. He literally has the coping skills of a child.

With that said, you don't cut him. There are too many past examples where teams finally get through to the troubled athlete. Gordon doesn't even deserve that.

JG is the prototypical player that Belichick likes to break, turning them from an afterthought to a contributor on a championship team. I would hate to see him catching passes from Brady.

If he's got no agent, who's conversing with the NFL regarding a potential reinstatement? Him? His brother? I've got to imagine that there's legal language involved.

I thought he just had a new agent.. Wonder if his snaps ended that.

Edit (from a MKC March 1st article). Looks like he did have an agent:

Gordon's business manager, Michael Johnson, told ESPN's Adam Schefter that Gordon, who's suspended indefinitely, will appeal to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to let him back into the league.
.....
His listed agent is Joby Branion of Vanguard Sports Group.

Was really hoping this was an update that the appeal failed and he isn't allowed back in the league

Or he tore both Achilles tendons when trying to slide down the escalator rail at the mall...

Ladies and gentlemen, i present to you Josh Gordon's agent:

 

[Soda]

Feel terrible.

 

[Pick6]

Well it was fun to dream.

 

[Real Deal]

If he had punched Mary Jane instead of smoking her, he'd be playing this fall.

 

[Ohio]

I'm glad he was denied.

I hope the NFL never allows him to play again.

Because if they do, it will probably be for another team, and fuck that.

I think he's got it in his head that this whole situation is really under his control, and that if he keeps himself clean for a period of time, he could count on being reinstated. With this rejection, he's just gotten a wakeup call that an "indefinite" suspension means exactly that.

I predict he lights up a blunt within a week of getting this news.

Feel terrible.

Fantastic news

Don't want this douche ever making another dollar from the Browns so he can spend his whole life thinking about what could have been

 

[Triplethreat]

It's cause he's on the lean..... and the molly.....

 

[David.]

So was he clean?

 

[dark2332]

Why even apply for reinstatement if you haven't been clean and know you haven't been clean....?

This guy....

This guy....

As someone who grew up around people who constantly tried to pass drug tests they had no business passing, I ask 'was he clean?"



I think you dont really want to mess with a guy whos trying to get straight. I can understand if this is the NFLs test to see if he will, even through adversity.
