Josh Gordon reinstated again
-
It's no secret that I've always been enamored with the physical gifts possessed by Gordon, and even though we tried over and over again to keep him on our active roster, it never worked out. Maybe it's because I work with people experiencing addiction problems, and I know how much damage drugs can cause, and perhaps I just simply love a good redemption story, but I know I'll always root for this guy to get his life together.
Has he been given a ton of chances? Of course. But here's the thing, and this matters...Josh has to pass a bunch of drug tests each month when he's reinstated into the league. He wouldn't BE reinstated if he hasn't been passing these tests and doing the work. Going to counseling, therapy, group sessions, and also maintaining a ridiculous level of physical performance is NOT easy people. This is a very sick man, and he's also dealing with child support issues, custody crap, and all the while trying to piece his life together. What he's trying to do is not easy, and I want people to understand that. To many, it might seem like "All he has to do is stop smoking pot", but it's so much more than that.
Josh let us down, and nobody knows that more than him. He's a greatly flawed man, but you know what? So am I. I'm still rooting for him and I probably always will. That being said, I totally understand why our fans are over this guy, and I really don't blame them. The good news for us is that we got a little bit of compensation, and now the Patriots fans get to check the news wire every day and pray they don't see a Gordon headline.

I kinda liked Oucho Sucko, we threw beer on him and food on him and yet he still shook our hands before games. I am not saying he was or wasn't overrated because imo he was just "Loud" But I never saw him as a bad person

This is such bullshit. He fails a test in Cleveland , and you suspend him a year then does it in New England , and you just let him come back in. I don’t wanna hear pats fans complain the NFL is against them

The decision Gordon has to make should be an easy call. Does he want to stay clean for a few years, play to his best ability and rake in millions of dollars that should set him up nicely for the rest of his life or be broke and penniless a few years down the road?

Absolutely....and on a time or two here in Cleveland he didn't even fail a test....he just checked himself in for help...and he gets 10 games to a year. It clearly has the appearance of favoritism toward the Patriots. Clearly. But I say, again, that despite the Pats troubles of the field....Spygate, Deflategate. Handjob/blowjob gate....the Pats still get preferential treatment by the league because of Kraft's apparent standing among NFL owners. And why Jimmy Haslam would not call the league on it? I don't know.....either because he is a big pussy or because he is a newer owner in the league and is told to keep in his place

He's answered that question many times already. It's been Groundhog Day with him.
He doesn't try very hard.......at anything......he's dumb as a stump.......I don't care how articulate he can be.

we should be a expert at this? but...Did we not have to wait for Gordon to get Re-instated before Roger could suspend him games? sorry, but am done googling this guy ?
