Josh Gordon entering rehab
-
It's pretty easy to tell who the tiny-dicked posies are.
-
He said himself he has been under ALOT of stress last week or so. And as a recovering addict, BS arrest warrants for paternity tests involving a child would definitely put the amount of stress that would trigger a relapse.
Oh nooooo I drafted him on my fantasy team and now I'm screwd. I'm sure that's ALOT of the fuss. Fucking fags that are hating on him for actually getting help before he fucks up and can never come back to the NFL are the worst type of fans. And don't act like this guy has had break after break when he has missed more time for his bag full of misdemeanors when guys that beat a woman half to death are getting slaps on the wrist.
Alot of stress?
The motherfucker gets paid a seven-figure salary to play a goddamn game for a living; millions of dollars to just basically work out and catch a fucking ball. There's millions of people out there who are under stress too, trying to pay bills by turning wrenches and making a dogshit salary, but somehow, the vast majority of them manage to not fail their companies mandatory drug screens or flake out and abandon their responsabilities to people who depend on them in a critical moment.
And Gordon has been given PLENTY of chances...the dude has been suspended FOUR FUCKING TIMES for the exact same shit each time. Every time, he swears up and down that he'd get his shit in order and not let his team and fans down. And every time, the Browns and their fans have given him the benefit of the doubt to clean his act up. AND EVERY FUCKING TIME, HE FUCKS THEM OVER...EVERY FUCKING TIME.
so what hes supposed to deal with this issue all by himself instead of asking for help? Just so he can play on your favorite football team as soon as possible? That's class right there now.
Dude, have you not been following the narrative of this thead? Gordon has had OVER A FUCKING YEAR to get his shit in order, but instead, he waits till a week before he's supposed to return to help his team out to go to rehab? Fuck that. The guy is a fucking puzzlewit.
this is a +1000 post , love the opening about stress and his salary for sureAlot of stress?

Would you happen to be referring to this?:
If so, I hope that Gordon was not that fucking stupid...

Well at least give him credit for going into rehab, something JM still has not caught on to as he pisses away his $$$. As to more chances here. Give him the same treatment as JM. Adios and good luck with the rehab. when you go for real.

The mistake you guys made was planning Gordon would do anything for the Browns moving forward in the first place. Gordon was the shitty ex-girlfriend a bunch of you candy asses clearly can't get over. The guy had all the talent in the world but has blown it like plenty of guys like him have done in the past. He's done here-the only regret you should have is that the Browns didn't trade him when the value was high.

I'm not surprised this happened but I doubt very much they could have traded him. That would mean an on the spot drug test that he most likely fails. I've given him up as just false hope long ago.The mistake you guys made was planning Gordon would do anything for the Browns moving forward in the first place.

The guy is an addict, so yes, he's under a lot of stress. Addiction is like an iceberg, ok? What you see on the surface is only a FRACTION of what really lies beneath. Josh was probably barely keeping it together, and something made him lose it. The stress of expectations when he can play again, the paternity thing, whatever. If Josh never took his addiction seriously, and by some of his statements he DIDN'T, then he wasn't equipped to handle stress and all of the aspects of addiction. It's not as simple as "don't use drugs/alcohol". There is a lot that goes into it, and if he doesn't have the tools to battle this issue, he will fail.
There is a difference between being sober and "not using." Sobriety means that an addict is actively working on their addiction issues. Seeing a counselor, going to meetings, speaking with a sponsor...whatever. "Not using" is pretending an addict doesn't have a problem, and he just avoids the drug of choice in hopes that if he isn't around it, the problem will go away. It almost NEVER works.
If I had to guess, Josh failed another test. Instead of going public with the results (which I believe are supposed to be private anyway), he just said that he'd get help. I think we can read between the lines here. If he didn't fail a test, why enter rehab? An addict only faces up to the problem when he has to. When the act of using provides worse consequences than being sober. If he didn't fail a test, he was about to. I promise you that.
I'm deeply saddened. I know I shouldn't have expected anything, but as time went by, I got more and more excited. Maybe he can figure it out, I hope he does. If his only substance abuse issue is with marijuana, that's even sadder because many cities and even states are thinking about either making it legal or decriminalizing it.
Best of luck, Flash Gordon.

i know people say you can be addicted to WEEDA, but i don't buy it one bit. i know people who smoke. don't drink. don't take pills. don't do any other drugs but smoke WEEDA. they're not sitting outside in an alley in the middle of the night waiting for their guy to show up and cop some bud. they don't have it it's not like they're going to rob a bank or jump out a window cuz they can't get a toke.
mental maybe. but you gotta be dumb as a rock to mentally be addicted to anything. so........

Seriously when will we catch a fucking break.
Seriously when will we catch a fucking break.
When you quit being so dumb. The fact that you even thought he would actually make it back shows how woefully ignorant you are.

Good riddance and i Wish the browns would have traded him when i suggested 2 years ago
Character>>>>>Talent EVERY TIME no exceptionsGood riddance and i Wish the browns would have traded him when i suggested 2 years ago
Character>>>>>Talent EVERY TIME no exceptions
There are several of us who never counted on Josh & just for the reason you stated. Strong on talent & weak on character.
The positive of this happening now is that it appears the Browns will now move ahead as if he were never here & that's a good thing.

Ah...another enabler

I think one thing we all can agree on about Gordon is what a waste of talent thus far.
-
No return next week.. That sucks
according to his statement, it looks like he is not coming back period...at least at this time....
-
Doesn't sound like this is a relapse situation. Sounds like he's doing the correct thing here, which by his track record is a HUGE step in the right direction. And it sounds like the browns and the NFL have his back on it.
Barring bad news, failed drug test, I would definitely want this guy back on my team.
Any negativity towards his decision is high unwarranted.

It doesn't matter what they say.. I'll take Dr.Drew on that over the words of stoners.. what matters is whether or not they quit. They say they can.. but never do. And remember: Just because they TELL YOU they quit.. doesn't mean they aren't lying.. yes, to you.. and continuing to toke. As with every addictive substance, marijuana isn't addictive for everyone.. but the person for whom it's not the greatest thing ever wouldn't have a reason to keep smoking it.
Dr. Drew describing marijuana withdrawal - and whether or not a person "loves" it.

1. Don't release him. There is ZERO reason to ever release him. If you release him, all that will happen is another team will pick him up and wait. Its low risk high reward. We wouldn't get any pick for him that would be worth it. We haven't been offered a pick for him that was worth it for years. Sit and wait. He still has two more seasons under his rookie contract.
2. I am at least 90% sure he failed another test and he is just getting ahead of it. Might as well start the process of getting back now. Maybe the NFL will go easy on him and let him reinstate at the start of training camp next year if he spends the next 3-4 months in rehab (why they would ever do this I wouldn't know). 10% chance is that the pressure of using was hitting him hard with the thought of having to come back and play and he decided it would be better for him to go to rehab so he could play some time this season/next season.
