5th arrest apparently.
And then we have josh gordon, out for 2 yrs for jazz cigarettes.
Josh Gordon should use up a bit of the money he made, and rent major billboards in a handful of large cities in high traffic/exposed areas.
He should then put pictures of several of the "problem" players on this billboard, with their "light" sentences/punishment.
(Aldon Smith, Ray Rice, and a few of the others I won't go into here, you get the picture)
Actually, Rice may not be a good candidate, since at this point he is still not playing.
Then, there should be a picture of Josh to the side of said billboard,(or better yet underneath), saying simply....
"I'm Waiting"
Regardless of what many of you may think about Smith, and his troubles, the simple fact is that the league should oust these problem players.
His "problems" and issues were noted for quite some time, and instead of brushing them under the rug, they should have either been dealt with, or just cut him loose from the league.
I have by and large not spoken much about Josh Gordon on this board other than to say I knew from day 1 he had immense talent.
Its almost as if someone close to him was jealous of his situation, and had it in for him. This last plane and alcohol incident reeks of a bit of an inside conspiracy.
I can't remember the last time another one of the leagues "problem children" was confronted leaving a bar........... is there no difference?
Sure he has had his issues also, but to equate his "problems" with some of these others like Aldon Smith is just a joke.
