Pettine Criticizes Gordon's Effort in Practice

The Browns Board

  • I'm with 'peen on Gordon. I have a feeling that, due to his low current cost, they may wait until he comes back & at least get something for him via trade.

    I don't care what his talent level is, Gordon can neither be trusted to live by rules nor give 100% effort every play. It's my little fixation, but I can't stomach players who take plays off. That ONE play just may be the difference between winning & losing.

    Just would like to point out (again) that we still do not definitively know what he did this time.

    I'll take the effort he gave in 2013 for another 10 years or so.

  • “Banner and Lombardi also wanted to trade star receiver Josh Gordon because of multiple failed drug tests,” says Mary Kay Cobot of Cleveland.com. “But some in the organization, including then coach Rob Chudzinski, felt the Browns had a strong enough support system to keep him on the straight and narrow.”

  • Statistics suggest that he [JFF] will be a failure. Take all the quarterback Heisman winners and point out the superstars and the busts, simple as that. The reason they hated Tebow is partially just because he is a Christian and that pisses a lot of people off.

    Or, maybe they disliked him not because he was a Christian, but because Christians held him up to be God like figure and they kept trying to shove him down the public's throat when most football fans could see that he was just no good at all.

    I think that's often the case with Heisman quarterbacks. I think it's also often the case they don't play very well. And they get a lot of attention. Look at us. So far part of that has already come true. Let's hope not all of it. I think if you take the time to read back over any of the posts you'll see many many attacks on the guy for his faith. That's all I'm saying.

    Personally I'd rather bash a guy who is a lazy asshole or a prick.

    What? Are you a masochist? 🤔

  • tebow believed in an askewed version of southern bapist fundamentalism. hell it was close to the hillbillies that dance with rattle snakes (never got that one myself). the cusp of their whole religion is if you don't believe like i believe or do as i do you will burn in hell.

    manziel has already shit all over the chin of that religion. "THANK YOU JESUS!"

    Were they the Christian version of ISIS?

  • Is this a Gordon thread or another JFF thread? I also now wish we would have traded Gordon if he does in fact get suspended. If he wins his appeal which is now looking like that may be possible, then I will be glad he is still here. The longer this suspense carries out the more I believe he may be "INNOCENT" ha ha. Why is it half the league can smoke weed and not get caught but our moron is too stupid to figure out how not to get caught? Smoke all you want but figure out how NOT to get caught.

  • Just like convicts or people on probation, once you get in the system- it's hard to get out. Once they get your number, you are an easy target. He came into the league wearing a target. A lot of the guys that get away with it are not as singled out as Gordon is. It's gotta be hard being Gordon when some of your peers in the NFL are blazing away on Caribbean Islands fucking mermaids with a golden dick and Josh has to stay at home and read the bible.

    god forbid you mention another name of a player on a team made up of players. i guess if we were discussing corn dogs, mentioning cotton candy would be off limits?

    Your mixing carney food groups there my friend. That's like talking about a QB in a WR thread. The gall.

    They both may work together such as completing a pass for a QB-WR or obesity, extremities smelling of cabbage, or heart disease (although this might work in both cases) for corn dogs-cotton candy. However they are separate entities in their own right.

    Back to the topic at hand, we don't know the facts yet. There's no point in getting pissy or placing blame.....yet. I'm sure people will say I'm making excuses for Gordon but he's innocent until proven guilty.

  • corn dogs. devil dogs. malo cups. slim jims.

    at 1:56 in has to be the classic line of the whole movie.
