I wonder how much of this is money related and how much it is loving football related? Seemed like Josh never loved football

For all his issues, I don't believe Gordon has ever struggled to be in game-shape (or close to it) when needed.


There is no level of sucking we haven't seen; in fact, I'm pretty sure we hold the patents on a few levels of sucking NOBODY had seen until the past few years.

Yep. You can bet your bottom dollar that dude looks like he just posed for a magazine cover. Takes very good care of his body... at least the outside of it.

I thought I read somewhere that he did three shots of whiskey before one of the 2013 games, where he just unloaded on the defense.

I can't imagine A) Looking like he does in general, B) Performing that well athletically after 3 shots of whiskey (I'd probably be asleep), or C) Being able to sustain A and B over the course of a season.

Quote:
I used to make a ritual of it before every game. If I had already been drug tested that week, or the day before the game, I knew I had a couple days to buy to clean my system. Even before I was getting tested for alcohol, prior to my DWI in 2014, I would take the biggest bong rip I could. And try to conceal all the smell off all my clothes. I'd be dressed up to go to the game. A bunch of guys smoke weed before the game. But we're not talking about them.

I would have these little pre-made shots. I used to love Grand Marnier. I could drink it down smooth. I could usually drink a lot of it. But if it wasn't that, it might be a whiskey or something. And I would drink probably like half a glass, or a couple shots to try and warm my system up, basically. To get the motor running. That's what I would do for games.

Gordon estimates he did this “Probably every game of my career,” including in college at Baylor. Gordon previously said in the Uninterrupted documentary that people at Baylor had enabled his drug use.

Three shots isn't that much for a young guy. He could easily soak up that kind of abuse back then. Not so much now.

Key word in the sentence.... "was". Now he's more trouble than he's worth as has been shown multiple times.


Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.

If someone gets new chances over and over again, in business or personal, no matter how many times they screw up, that person is "Gordoned".


Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
