Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
By the way...I ordered pizza tonight and guess who delivered it...and ironically he was still wearing his Pats jersey (and I live in Jets territory). Needless to say...no tip.problemsolver wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 2:40 pmI can't remember if it was this thread or someplace else where I read that he has admitted in interviews that he has abused weed, alcohol, prescription meds (probably Xanax but that is just a guess on my part) and codeine (Purple Drank).Jigga94 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 1:52 pmOne would be foolish or naive (both?) to think this is solely weed related.kris_kapsner wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 10:38 am Oh, how many millions of dollars is that weed worth?

Hahahahaha.
...to be clear, I am not laughing at Gordon; I am laughing that there are people that did not sell.

Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
That was my problem, I had no buyers in the one league I own him. Just like I am getting no offers for Hunt, my league must be more risk adverse than most people's on this forum.
Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
Nope, I'm with you here. Gordon was on waivers and I forget when I stashed him during last season (Edit: November 1st of last season. Dropped Laquon Treadwell), but he was free and I knew he'd be back.AussieMate wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 5:11 pmThat was my problem, I had no buyers in the one league I own him.

Fast forward to this year and he's on the oats and had a decent start... I throw him on the trade block and the best kind of offer I get? Baker and Gordon for Darnold and Royce in 2 QB. I would've been losing Gordon and not even improving one bit... Or another deal...Gordon for Alex Collins after Collins had already been sent to Baltimore's bench.
Basically Gordon's production was more valuable than getting any of those deals would've been. Got him for free and now he's done. Oh well. Knew this day would come. Didn't think it'd be this season

Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
Just had to enjoy it while it lasted. No one was gonna buy him. Might as well just hold and ride his production into the sunset.Jigga94 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 6:34 pmNope, I'm with you here.

Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
I almost waited too long. My league is extremely risk adverse except for 1 village idiot who also happened to back his way into a chip last season and through the gift of randomness that is fantasy beat me in the semi's this season. I picked up Gordon off waivers and sold for a late 1st which I flipped for Godwin.
I can fondly recall the flak I got after Gordon was traded to NE by the village idiot.

Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
I was lucky in that I got to sell both Hunt and Gordon to the same owner. No one else in my league was willing to take on the risk, but luckily I have a chap who does. Very luckily.

Re: Josh Gordon Reinstatement
He needs significant, significant help. Like I said earlier, he just may be someone that shouldn't be playing football at all. It's clearly never been a big enough distraction or incentive from his root issues. Schefter released a report today saying that the Patriots essentially had people assigned to be with Gordon at all times so that this would never happen. And, that he found a way to manuever around them.Orenthal Shames wrote: ↑Sun Dec 23, 2018 7:58 am Apparently tested positive for multiple substances.
