Josh Gordon Troubles
-
bet your ass the browns will trade some guy like this in the future after the 1st strike. After what he did towards the end of last year it was very damn possible we could have gotten a 1st rounder for him....all of you think about that. We already had a pretty good fucking draft...we could have had one of the best drafts in NFL history with an extra pick if it was high enough. Even with a lower 1st round pick we could have packaged it off for next year. Even a high 2nd round pick would have been awesome which is the absolute MINIMUM we would have gotten for Gordon.

you can't fix dumb.
you know you're having a hearing in front of the league in a couple of weeks. you got booted off your college team for pissing positive. you got popped twice since in the league. you might have had a fighting chance for a reduced suspension if you could have just played it clean for another 2 freakin weeks.
that is just dumb.
weed is not an addictive drug, i don't care what anyone says. this is the first time we've heard of him getting in trouble with alcohol and it was barely over the legal limit, so we can't call him an alcoholic.
what you can call him is an empowered kid (because of money now) with talent that wants to be pimp daddy king in front of his friends. so how is rehab going to help that? maybe if his parents would have done a better job raising him and helping him understand how to pick out good friends, he wouldn't be society's problem now. i guarantee you his family was fucked, but so was mine and if someone was to offer me millions of dollars for my talents i'd be so squeaky clean the sun would squint at me.
let him work at circle K for his weed money. on a positive note......at least he's not a serial killer.

come on mik:
do i need to search the archives for some of your dumb escapades you've shared over the years?
rare is the young person who doesn't do dumb, irresponsible shit. JG's transgressions take on a life of their own because he happens to be a gifted professional athlete. my
guess is that he is garden variety bi-polar.
-
yeah man i've done some awfully stupid shit IN THE PAST and a couple of times i probably could've been killed given the circumstances where i was at and what i was doing..........
but there is a huge difference between me and josh gordon.
my antics didn't affect my family. they didn't affect any co-workers. and they didn't affect a fan-base of thousands and thousands of people.
-
I confess I have done many stupid ass things and driven drunk many times in the past (not for many years). I lucked out and never got busted. But I think Slow may be onto something with his mental state. This kid just does not seem to get it. No matter what happens he keeps repeating the same mistakes.
-
mik, In the army, you mean to tell me you never were never hung over or high while on duty? how could your "coworkers" not be affected by your condition?
-
here's the thing, and a major problem with today's society.
no one wants to take responsibility for their actions anymore. step up to the mic and said i screwed up. simple as that.
BUT NO....
we'd rather have some quack excuse it all by diagnosing a person with whatever mental affliction is the flavor of the week.
there was no bi-polar in the sixties. there was no ADD, ADDD, CADD, CGI..... you were either a fuck up who needed a kick in the ass, a criminal or mentally ill to the point were you were committed. there were also Retarded people. sorry, but that's what they were called then.
so which category would josh have fit into?

i didn't start getting hangovers until i was in my thirties. and i've always known my limits. i never have gotten 'falling down drunk'.
like i've said before i never wanted to be that guy who falls asleep on his bar stool.

Man, I feel bad for Josh. The kid just can't catch a break. He obviously went to drinking to get away from the weed, so he could play this year, then he probably was having a good time and realized that he shouldn't drive until his buzz went down. He probably thought that he was good after a good bit, then he gets pulled over and he's just a fraction over the LEGAL LIMIT... unfuckingbelievable. Josh has some bad luck, I'll admit that he appears to come by it honestly.
This looks a lot worse than it really is.
Maybe, now he'll be forced to get a driver to take him places.

"Can't Catch a Break"???!?!?!
Give me and everyone with a straight head a fock'n break. What's wrong with society today? Why are we making excuses for these people. If this guy have half a brain, he would had taken car service out and back home if he was going to drink. Now all he's thinking is.."i can't catch a break", "I was only a fraction over", "why are they out to get me", "blah", "blah", "blah"...
How about look in the mirror you numb nut.

So many people acting all SURPRISE BY THIS.
Gordon will and should NEVER see the football field again until he can show he is in control of his life, if NOT…dude will someday take the life of one of us or someone we love.
-
well hopefully we'll have a running game this year.
we don't need gordon, megatron or AJ green.
we need balance. and with those guys you mentioned and the new shanty offense i'm hoping we'll still go .500.
hell most of us had written gordon off for the year before this.
-
4 pages is enuff on this douche nozzle. Lets start a thread about wtf we are going to look like at Wr. Hawkins, Austin, Burlson. I just dont see it going well. I didnt forget about cameron. He cant do it all.
-
He's immensely talented, but I don't think Farmer, Pettine or Shanny see him as "must have".
Little and Bess fucking killed us last year.
If we can field three good receivers as opposed to one great one and two awful ones, we are ahead of the game.
Hawkins and Burleson are going to be huge upgrades over The Drive Killers.
That leaves Austin, Benjamin, Armstrong, Johnson and the NKOTB to bring the rest of the production.
I really think we will be OK.
Plus JCam is tits, and will be even better this year after his learning experience as a starter.
Oh ... And we replaced our 35 yo running back with real talent and bolstered the o-line.
WR is not worrying me. Honestly.
And we can use that Bills draft pick next year to replace aging Austin and Burleson.
Well played, Farmer.

So as the saga continues Gordon was bailed out this morning by a multiple felon criminal with mostly gun and drug charges in his long illustrious career. I will take a flyer this is Gordon's partner in the dope trade. When it rains it pours.

He's serious. A serious asshole.

Just extremely unfortunate to see a young guy continue to ruin his life. The real question is do you keep the guy assuming he's out for the year or cut him? Someone correct me here but if he's suspended his salary comes off the books. If so is it worth keeping him around to see if just maybe this is rock bottom? I'd say no but that's a tough call.

I don't think there is any benefit to cutting him. If cutting him would get him to his bottom then the suspension should as well. All cutting him does is give another team the opportunity to take him in the off chance he gets it together in the next year or so.
