Josh Gordon Relapse 2018

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs because once football is done this isn’t just going to go away for him.
 
Chill out with this shit.
Yeah, the outcome is that his career is over. It just is. He'll either be indefinitely banned or if it's lifted, no one will sign him. He's already 27 now and he's clearly lost a step, anyway.

It's a shame because he had all the talent in the world and could not get over his personal demons. As fans, it's absolutely frustrating that he is simply not dependable. Year after year, chance after chance. It's likewise frustrating for teammates, coaches, front offices, and owners. He's just someone you could never count on.

That said, all accounts are that Josh Gordon the man is very kind, generous with his time, and wouldn't hurt a fly. Thus, I wish him well.
 
Drug addict, lots of baby mommas, doesn’t follow the rules...should I keep going?
Settle down Josh, it’ll be okay, the car dealerships are calling. Just don’t steal one.

Man, not even trying to hide it...huh?

You basically just described Julian Edelman, oddly enough I've never heard the similar peeps.
 
As Tupac defined it, a thug is someone who is going through struggles, has gone through struggles, and continues to live day by day with nothing for them. That person is a thug. and the life they are living is the thug life. A thug is NOT a gangster. Look up gangster and gangsta. Not even CLOSE, my friend.

Not tying to hide what??? Edelman, I don’t know a thing about him, but if he has the same shitty past and lifestyle, then yes, he’s a thug too.
 
The Danny Shelton trade...

The Josh Gordon trade...

I'm shocked the Patriots even pick up when the Caller ID says "BUDDY BOY DORSEY"

People are so used to bending over the Browns they still haven't caught up to the fact that things are very different now.
 
Time to call up my friend who owes me $100, gonna spend my winnings on some green

jk, I cannot afford to lose my job

Weird, that narrative hasn't been talked about with Edleman...

Let me try to put my finger on why....


Drug suspension (check), baby mama (check), parties hard (check).

Yeah yeah, sure...he's a thug and stuff too....

He meant racist.

In essence, Josh Gordon slips into 'typical thug' status within your (and many's) mind when you hear about his misgivings. Not "troubled". Not "immature". Not "a developing young man". Adding to that, all we hear about with Josh Gordon are misgivings, but those same misgivings don't appear in the media as vividly for a guy like Julian Edelman, who as @AZ_ pointed out, has had similar issues. Even when it gets identified, people don't gravitate to "thug" for Edelman.
