Indians season over? – Browns vs. Steelers – Ray Rice / Roger Goodell – WFNY Podcast – 2014-09-10
September 10, 2014Terry Pluto’s book, RubberDucks success and hello from Idaho: While We’re Waiting…
September 11, 2014Everyone already knows that Josh Gordon is selling cars already, but that means people are visiting and talking to him every day. We got an email from one such fan who stopped to see Josh Gordon and the dynamic receiver indicated to that fan that he thought he’d be playing this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints as long as the vote passes today.
We weren’t going to go with that information, but then I noticed another fan mention it on Twitter.

Maybe it’s wishful thinking on Gordon’s part. Maybe it’s based on information he’s hearing from his agent or the Player’s Association. In the end, I don’t really care where he’s hearing this or how he came to this opinion.
I just hope he’s right.
The way the Browns ran the ball last Sunday against the Steelers, it’s hard to imagine just how much of an impact Josh Gordon could have with a real, live, believable play-action fake.

I’m not sure JG has all that much more insight than anyone else involved in this. Nevertheless, fingers crossed.
My best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with the girl who saw Josh Gordon pass a j at 31 Flavors, and he said that Josh Gordon was going to play on Sunday.
That guy (or girl, I’m lost – but I think it’s actually a girl) has zero credibility. Next time, just say “source,” and you’ll get on ESPN.
The real story here is Gordon chews Grizzly mint straight cut.

Wonder how the cost/benefit analysis from the car dealership is panning out. Sure, you’re getting tons of people in the door, but all they want is an autograph.
“Free Josh Gordon autograph with every purchase!”
I tend to agree…not sure if it’s because I’m a former chewer, or the fact that Grizzly is an off-brand, I think (it’s been 6 years since I quick cold turkey, so I don’t remember for sure)
Think about how much this is costing them (whatever they’re paying Josh) vs. the eyeballs + even walk-ins! That’s great advertising bang for your buck. If 1-2 extra people buy a car from them this year because that’s who comes to mind or because they walked in and saw something they liked they probably have made money, and they for sure get a huge bump in search results for dealers in the area.
What’s crazy is that while this guy may or may not be completely making it up, at least it’s a firsthand source if he’s not. That’s actually a better bet than most ESPN sources.
The more I think about this, the sadder I am about the state of journalism in this country.
You’re certainly right, of course. Anything that you can do to separate yourself from the other dealers in prospective buyers’ minds is worth it. They should consider changing their name and/or trade dress to permanently include Gordon’s name and/or likeness (assuming he’s reinstated by the league).
“So-and-so Auto Dealership: Josh Gordon’s Part-Time Job.”
“Where Josh Gordon Slings Cars When He’s Not Catching Passes.”
“The No. 1 Car Spot for No. 12.”
Last week’s were better. 🙂
Was on vacation. Missed it. I won’t do any more.
Well I think this person doesn’t know what they are taking about. I believe they meant to say Griz Mint “Long” Cut. Straight is a flavor, not a cut.
Also, I am no 100% on the Josh Gordon support train
Might not want to use the words “dealer” or “slings” in any connection with Gordon if we want to help him get back on the field. Or “sPOT.”
Okay, at the risk of revealing my age and/or lack of cultural awareness, what’s a “sling” in drug parlance?

I stopped in and chatted with Josh. He really does think he has a chance to play soon if the NFLPA comes to some agreement. Nice guy. No pressure from car sales people.
which makes you absolutely NOTHING!
a verb.
So … I’m an idiot. Check.
