Josh Gordon to IR?

Wait does this mean I don't have to hear 50 times a day that the pats were stupid for getting rid of him?

Yeah, it's hard to feel sorry for anyone who doesn't give af...if Gordon was a regular dew, no one would even care. Wouldn't be a blip on a radar anywhere.

Actually, it's not that hard to feel sorry for him, ymmv.

We all wished the best for the guy...

Many of us still do.

Does he though?

Sometimes the demons are just too much for the addict.

nothing can stop it, the draw it too much - nothing - and it is sad watching the self-destruction.

he needs to work on the drink/drug to get sober to work on the depression and stuff, he can't stay sober long enough to get into the right mindset to address the underlying cause of it all, only then will he be able to make a difference in his own life and often it will be at the expense of everything he knows today, friends and followers he thinks have his best interest but really are their for the ride.

So are the reports right that he had PED's in his system too?

no idea, I heard PED rule but that it was other stuff he fell back into using - but we don't know, nor will we ever.

It's really sad, but it's also one of those many "in BB we trust" moments. He seemed to see it coming.

This.

Addiction and mental health issues impact tons of people who cope and get past them with far fewer resources than are available to Josh. He’s had everything he needs to succeed, including a employer that continually forgave his transgressions.

Many people in his position aren’t nearly as lucky.

Not many people had the horrific childhood he had. It's all very well judging someone from a viewpoint of someone who had a normal, loving upbringing,
