We can all agree Josh Gordon is way more responsible than Justin Blackmon.

Poor Blackmon :(

Whatever happened to that dude? He fell off the face of the Earth. What is he up to now?

Is Herm Edwards the best Jets coach during the Patriots Reign of Terror Era? I say yes.

His eyes in a fifth of booze basically.

He just moved back home and he drinks all the time as far as anyone can tell. No desire or attempt to get back to playing at all.

He's the only one to win the division and he had 2 playoff wins, so yes.

On a related note, gently caress Doug Brien.

It's common, but it's one of those things where if it doesn't affect a friend/family member/yourself, you can mostly avoid ever having to see it. And most people treat anything that isn't rubbed in their face 24/7 as not existing pretty much.

It does feel that way. I would like to remind everyone that his failed tests were codeine in his cough medicine, pot at such a low level that if they had reversed the order of the samples he would have passed and taking a drink on a plane after his season ended but not the league year.


How long should he go since his last failure to be allowed back in???

maybe he shouldn't have been drinking lean and smoking pot when he was already on the radar

Josh Gordon is a victim of the NFL's bullshit and 99% of comments I see on the web are victim blaming. He's being tormented over the tiniest infractions of a useless rule. Meanwhile the league goes through opiates like Wheaties.

Also it's fuckin weird how white players never violate the substance abuse policy apparently

From the article I read earlier, the victim said he was challenged to go out back and he did, which is why there isn't a criminal case.

I'd assumed they lured him out there in some way (the most obvious way I can think to do this is invite him go smoke some weed with them or something).

I mean this guy is insane if he just went out to fight them. Sharpe might not be the most intimidating guy but when his buddy is this guy I think I'd think twice:

It kind of seems like that would detract from a civil case too. He accepted a formal challenge.

Also, when did you become a ninja? Or is this a different Febreeze?

It makes sense. They both fill the role of busted, broken, oft injured slot receiver who is overpriced.

They've got a very solid OL now, stiffened and flexible defense especially with Hue's creative coaching, a strong RB in a contract year, and in Cody Kessler, a strong developing young QB who will do much better with the improved pass pro

most likely worst to first candidate this upcoming season imo
