Josh Gordon Will Be Taking A Timeout To Start Tonight's Game, As He Still Has A Problem With Being Prompt

Sources: The #Patriots are disciplining WR Josh Gordon during tonight’s game vs. the #Bills because of tardiness. He’s expected to be kept off the field for several series — about a quarter — as they continue to work with & manage him. It’ll be regular playing time after that.

More context: Josh Gordon showed up late yesterday before the team departed from Gillette Stadium for Buffalo.

You know, on a day in which the Cleveland Browns cleaned house, but - instead of exterminating the rat - decided to promote the most poisonous entity in professional sports to head rodent in charge, I can't help but feel like their fans are in need of some good news...

Cleveland’s interim HC is defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, sources tell @mortreport and me.

It might not be as comforting as "the long-time lunatic that learned very little from being suspended indefinitely by the NFL has lost his job", but hearing that the All-World talent they traded to a perennial Super Bowl contender for a mid-round pick was tainted beyond the toxicity of the team's culture has to be a bit of a relief. There are certainly some that, either fairly or unfairly, figured Josh Gordon's issues heavily stemmed from being engulfed in the furthest possible thing from a work environment that was conductive to removing his personal warts, but - as it turns out - not even Bill Belichick can get him to set an alarm! I don't know if that news, in and of itself, will inspire the Cleveland faithful to put down the proverbial bottle, but here's to hopes it serves as motivation to mix in a metaphorical water as they pray that the potential of Baker Mayfield prevails over the final remaining flame inside a dumpster fire of a franchise.
