Clearly the guy has drug issues -that doesn’t mean he’s a cancer in the locker room. Does he show up on time, work hard at practice? I’m fairly confident that if there was an ounce of negativity related to the team he would be gone. I can’t explain what Belichick sees in the guy beyond talent but there’s something.

The other Patriots players seem to really like him, too.
I don't think there's ever been an issue with Josh Gordon not being liked by teammates or being a problem in the locker room. Dude just can't keep clean, drugs-wise. I truly hope he stays clean, for his own sake, but given his track record, I would be shocked if he lasted a full season without a drug-related suspension.
By picking up AB, New England also prevented another team from getting him. They had tried to trade for him back in the off-season for some future draft picks and more money. In the end, he was a bargain at $15M (only $10 guaranteed) and no draft picks. Will he work out? Time will tell. AB will not be the star as we already have a pretty decent offense with quite a few weapons. Will he get more catches than Edleman? Doubtful. He likely will not get any of his incentive money. $1.5 million for 16 TDs--that's more than one per game, $1.5 million for close to 1,300 yards--so that's close to 90 per game. If he were the only weapon---sure--but he's not and Brady likes to spread the wealth. I forget what the last $1.5 was for. Hopefully, he'll be happy with contributing and winning a super bowl and will leave his diva behavior in California. I'm not sure who can beat the Pats???? Maybe KC? Maybe????? And last night's 33-3 win had several top players not even playing. Should be interesting.Like I said earlier -I think Belichick was hedging by picking up Brown. This way he has a better chance of at least one of the two lasting a full season. He probably would have better luck in Vegas but what the heck. Not sure how any of these are going get looks ...let’s not forget Demaryius Thomas.
Broncos 6-10.
And growing up in Columbus I wouldn’t be disappointed to see the Browns go! Funny thing is I was a big Browns fan growing up and hated the Broncos during “The Drive” and “The Fumble”.
I guess living here (Denver area) longer than I have anywhere and being a long time season ticket holder changed my mind!
Well, I had predicted my team (Steelers ) would go 7-9- after last night might be 4-5 wins - not enough weapons on offense and the same lousy coaching - unprepared, and lethargic - plus, they have a really tough schedule - I didn't expect them to beat NE on the road, but at least show up !
Yep and once again, totally outclassed and outcoached - big test against Seattle sundayDon’t feel too bad about your steelers. They played the best team. I have New England going back to the Super Bowl. If Carson can stay Healthy it will be round three New England and eagles.
Antonio Brown is now being accused of sexual assault, the alleged victom claim it was 3 times between 2017-2018, she claims to have saved texted messages from him that prove it, and he said he claims this is a "money grab"

3 games in and they are half way there.49ers : 6-10
Hey Low Key. Between Christa and I, one of us is not sorry and the other will not say he is.
Great Browns moment of the game.
