I'm reading an article someone linked about Justin Blackmon right now, I guess at least Josh Gordon is pretending to care?

Imagine the thoughts that must go through a person's head the moment they're drafted by the Cleveland Browns

I'm happy for Gordon seeking help and hope all goes well

It sucks that it's happening to the Browns but I can't bad-mouth someone for making the decision to go to rehab. That's a tough choice and not one that I'm convinced that I'd be able to make.

I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I put myself into rehab and I checked myself out when it turned out that a bunch of guys in there were alt-right assholes who just liked to bring up their social media shitposting in group.

What I'm trying to say is that he's brave for putting himself through the wringer.

Major rumor coming out of Cleveland is that Gordon got popped at Hopkins Airport (Cleveland's big airport) with a pound of weed

10,363 snaps and not a playoff win to show for it
If he had gotten arrested with a pound of weed, that should have hit the media a lot faster than him voluntarily checking into rehab.

he knows...
He missed basically three years in his prime and may never play again but he was still worth the second round pick. He was unbelievably good even with the trash at QB getting him the ball for those brief moments of non-suspension.

when will the nfl give all of the browns fans free rehab? they need a methadone-like substance to help them quit their addiction to the browns. i recommend making them all bills fans for a year and then releasing them back into the wild, free to find a new team to cheer for.

It's straight retarded that weed can cause you to miss out on a promising career while linemen can inject rhinoceros hormones into their asses with only a comparative slap on the wrist.

i feel like for him to spend his suspension writing articles on the players tribune about how he's not addicted to anything and doesn't have a problem, then to enter rehab the week before he's supposed to come back...its bad

maybe he has social anxiety and this allows him to function normally in society? maybe he uses it for pain management because he has a real problem with opiates?

maybe that's a stupid line of reasoning that keeps allowing the NFL to ban players for using weed while continuing to pump them full of toradol and telling them that everything is "pain management" here have some benzos?

I think it's kind of dumb because the way you get into the NFL's drug program means that if you hosed up in college when you're just a stupid kid you can end up getting tested two dozen times a year when every other player is free to get high as balls because they're told about the 1 piss test a year they have to pass in advance.

Also failing at the combine drug test, which I mean it's dumb to smoke then, but it's also the most stressful moment in these guy's lives and if you've been self medicating, well guess what's a fantastic way to handle stress?
