So Josh Gordon got himself re-instated to the Cleveland Browns, right after the trade deadline.
Nice timing.
Okay Jimmy Haslem, since you're having so many problems with this ownership thing, I, Fred Hunt, am going to help you out a little bit for the last 8 games of the season.
You need to look President Paul DePodesta straight in the eyes and say:
"if you keep Josh Gordon and he tests positive for drugs, I am going to fire you the next day after that positive test. Are you willing to put your job on the line for Josh Gordon?"
If DePodesta says "no," which I am 99.4% sure he would, because he's all about numbers, then Haslem needs to take the next step.
Haslem then needs to look General Manager Sashi Brown, straight in the eyes and say:
"if you keep Josh Gordon and he tests positive for drugs, I am going to fire you the next day after that positive test. Are you willing to put your job on the line for Josh Gordon?"
If Brown says "no," which I am 98.6% sure he would, because he's a double-talking Harvard lawyer, then Haslem needs to take the final step.
Haslem then needs to look Coach Hue Jackson, straight in the eyes and say:
"if you keep Josh Gordon and he tests positive for drugs, I am going to fire you the next day after that positive test. Are you willing to put your job on the line for Josh Gordon?"
If Jackson says "no," and I think there's a coin flips chance of that, then Haslem needs to act accordingly.
If you get 3 nos, then cut Gordon today. BECAUSE YOU CAN! If Jackson believes in him, well then, there will be some real world consequences for Gordon's actions. (It's not like Gordon's not indirectly responsible for getting a slew of people fired or cut already, anyhow.)
Again, I am still seething as a Browns fan that Josh Gordon would rather do a PRODIGIOUS amount of drugs than play football.
