Josh Gordon discussion

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

Hell, Josh is probably the one paying LeBron. LeBron is probably his best chance to get himself reinstated.
 
Been waiting for that tell-all for a long time. It's time to root for him to get his life back together. In whatever form that may take (although I hope it takes form on the Browns).
 
Going public like this is pretty brave, regardless of what you think of Josh. He's definitely not a moron but he's certainly a drug addict. This video is a step in the right direction because if he fucks up again, this is his "full of shit" moment, but shared to all. He is putting a lot of pressure on himself with this.

Hey, look, noted drug user used drugs!

Dude was using coke, codeine and marijuana.

Really? What a shock! I mean, I thought he just had a cough, and that's why there was that codeine, and that it was just an unfair, vindictive league going after the guy just because he smoked a tiny bit of weed once in a while. Or not really -- the samples were really just doctored and/or diluted for reasons completely unrelated to the use of illegal drugs.

Or, at least that's what some were saying....

Well, he said this in that excerpt:

“I’ve used alcohol many, many occasions,” Gordon said. “Xanax, many occasions. Cocaine, several occasions. Marijuana, most of my life. Codeine cough syrup, promethazine, very prevalent where I’m from. It’s what I grew up using.

“I’ve been enabled most of my life, honestly. I’ve been enabled by coaches, teachers, professors, everybody pretty much gave me a second chance just because of my ability.”

How would it not be enabling if the league gave him a 4th or 5th chance?

What's the risk? What's the potential reward? The NFL would be on the side of "we gave this guy every opportunity to get his career on track" regardless of what happens.

Whatever just prove it.
I think both of these are correct. It is a positive step for Josh to admit everything in public. However, if he relapses, hard to say he's really shown that much growth.

Man that's not how it works. If he relapses it sucks and almost everyone relapses. Sometimes you lose.
 
I'll say it. I'm getting hyped about the thought of Josh Gordon again. It seems a little different this time. Let's hope he is reinstated week 11 so that it doesn't count as an accrued year. :cha (28):
