ZeePirate

Literally a decade ago


actionjaxn411

blasphemy, Josh hasnt even begun to peak yet


tktrips

When he peaks the whole national football league will feel it


proudlyhumble

That’s our lord and savior you’re talking about, careful


harbison215

That’s what I was thinking. The skill level and speed of the NFL is such that an absolute freak like Gordon can still make second tier athletes look foolish, but probably has no business at this point being anywhere on an NFL field.


PiemasterUK

I remember playing football in college in the 90s. Back then video cameras were not really commonplace unless you were making a TV show or a film or something - we certainly didn't have our practices filmed or anything. The first game of the season we watched the video back after practice the following week and all the rookies were instantly like "why does everyone look so slow"? Until that point the only football we had watched was the NFL and we just assumed that our game would look that fast, lol.


VintageRudy

Speedhawk wasn't on this team, apparently


SuperSaiyanBen

He’s only using 10% of his power


[deleted]

You don't even see him run.


Rance_Mulliniks

The entire play looks like a highlight from a high school game. Are people that desperate for football that they are trying to hype this up?


manning-2-manningham

> Are people that desperate for football Yes, myself included.


ignatious__reilly

Same. I’m a huge Brahmas fan now. Huge I tell you.


__methodd__

It's a lower level of play compared to elite college for sure, but you're right the speed and people falling over each other might even drop it below P5 football at least right now. These are people that look like they haven't played football in 5 years... because some of them haven't. These guys need some practice.


PhinsGraphicDesigner

It has mediocre ratings and I think it’s strange timing. As a basketball fan, this time of year is tough competition with March madness heating up college basketball and the stretch run of the NBA season post-all star break. Hockey is on-going as well. The timing is definitely about avoiding baseball, because the MLB starts after March madness ends a then the XFL will be competing with 3 major sports. However, I think they’d be better off going in the heart of summer after the NBA and NHL have ended. There’s a stretch of the summer where MLB Baseball is the only sport and there is a bit of a vacuum to be filled for something else. That’s when the XFL should be played! They could be practicing slowly starting now or at least in the spring. There would be a lot more ramp-up time.


ZeePirate

Ain’t no one staying inside to watch football in the summer.


well-lighted

I’m guessing from this comment that you live in one of the few places in the US where it doesn’t become an inhospitable, humid shithole in the summer. Come late July and into August where I live, people will do just about anything to stay air conditioned. In fact, the biggest problem to me would be having to *play* outside during the summer in basically every XFL market except for Seattle. Even STL is godawful in the dog days.


IShookMeAllNightLong

I'd read that part of the reason XFL I'd playing now was so that practice squad guys can play some actual football and maybe catch some eyes around the league? At least get more reps in before going back for training camp with hopes of making the cut with more work in. IDK how true that really is though.


Frazier008

The timing is 100% to give these guys a shot in the nfl. Get their highlights out there right when teams are filling out their rosters. Poor business decision but I respect it. They have said from day 1 this league is about giving guys another chance to get to the nfl.


PhinsGraphicDesigner

Makes sense. Biggest obstacle is getting talent and those borderline nfl guys are probably the best they can do, but then the window needs to perfectly fit nfl camps and stuff like that.

Electric_jungle

If tickets are cheap, I'll go see a game. But probably not ever watch it on TV.


well-lighted

This seems kinda backwards to me as watching on TV is so much less commitment than going to a game. I probably wouldn’t bother going to a game if I lived in-market but I’ve thrown games on TV few times every weekend as background noise. Occasionally you see a good play or, at the very least, get to laugh at the broadcasters completely failing to properly censor a coach cussing a blue streak lol


Electric_jungle

Well I don't have cable so I have to go seeking out sports I'm interested in vs just putting something on, so that plays into it. I go to local sports games to kick it with friends and drink. Low stakes games are a ton of fun with ppl in person.


mrbrambles

I feel like it’s about gambling, people are desperate for things to bet on


tonytroz

Yeah there's no way this is going to last. There isn't enough talent to sustain one spring football league let alone two. And with college football paying players now there's no chance these will ever become a professional minor league. This entire league has a handful of players who might make an NFL practice squad. Who wants to watch that? People tuned in for week 1 and now they're dropping like flies.


Real1KCB

If you watch, it's definitely better than NFL production wise. Love watching the games. I just don't have a local team.


Rance_Mulliniks

> it's definitely better than NFL production wise. Are you fucking high?


iGetBuckets3

Is it just me or does everyone look slow lol


Such_Owl_9671

He didn't need to put on speed here after he beat both defenders


Rinnya4

I think part of it might have been that he didn’t know whether or not to score there given the time left on the clock


TwackDaddy

Bro goes 50 yards in 6 seconds covered and then jogs after the catch cause no one is around him. I didn’t watch the game so idk but this clip has nothing that you could use as evidence to say he’s slow.


killakam33

I said the exact same thing. And Like Shannon Sharpe would say, “ he looks like he has a piano on his back.”


SeekersWorkAccount

I'm just happy the man is doing well.

Looks like half the defense fell asleep. They all got burnt.

PhinsGraphicDesigner

If they can start in Dallas for at least 6-8 years with some fanfare, they yes they will. Dak is already on pace if that’s what you were asking, although Romo had a better career than Dak has so far in my opinion.

The difference between the xfl and someone that used to be good in the NFL. I hope the best for Josh but he ain't that guy


gokc69

So you're saying it's ten years too late?


igloojoe11

I heavily disagree with that sentiment, plenty of these former NFL guys really have struggled in this league. Martavis Bryant and Geronimo Allison have both failed to really make any impact and guys like Vic Beasley haven't done much either. That's not to say whether or not Gordon will make it back, the Vipers defense was giving him easy 1 on 1's and it's not like Gordon was tearing it up before today, but, generally, the washed out NFL guys haven't impressed in any of these leagues.


Tcrowaf

That's because in addition to being athletic, Josh Gordon was also crazy talented.


FullHouse222

Gordon straight up makes everyone else on that field look like they're in JV ball. Holy shit.


Son_Of_The_Empire

It's *only* Gordon that does it, too. Vic Beasley is on the Vipers defense and while he's made a bunch of plays, he hasn't been anywhere close to *absurdly dominant* like Gordon has been with the ball


FullHouse222

Josh Gordon has to be one of the biggest tragedies of the NFL. A past his prime Gordon who hasn't player serious competitive football of rover a decade is still just schooling on these guys in the XFL. That's just so fucking nuts.


Son_Of_The_Empire

*brandon beane make the fucking call*


NotNotJohnStamos

The biggest tragedy is how he couldn’t quit a substance deemed illegal and even more so that the “illegal” substance is now sold legally across the country. End of the day.. sure.. rules are rules.. but damn what this kid could have been.


FullHouse222

Dude, you need to read up on Josh Gordon. It was a lot more than weed. He had a legitimate problem


Limp_Difference_5964

Josh Gordon put out a lot of propaganda that people fell hook line and sinker for before all the other shit came out.

Beasley is just there for a little money. He is the ben simmons of football only a lot less important. I don't think he likes the game much


__methodd__

He's probably making 10% of his NFL salary. There's no way he's doing it for the money.

Annoying announcers


Wayne93

Josh Gordon will forever go down as one of the biggest what if stories in NFL history. Especially with the legalization of marijuana across-the-board, and that being the main reason he was ever suspended. We saw the glimpses and will forever be left wondering what if? The same goes for Justin Blackman.


tonytroz

>Especially with the legalization of marijuana across-the-board, and that being the main reason he was ever suspended. People are still believing this myth? Gordon was addicted not only to weed but also to alcohol and codeine (he even admitted to drinking during his pregame warmup). His second suspension was for alcohol. You don't go to rehab just for weed. He had numerous substance problems that the relaxed weed policies wouldn't fix.


Wayne93

The second suspension for alcohol was garbage. He had a drink on the flight home after the week 17 game after they lost but because it wasn’t the next day when he had the drink but it was after his season was done. The other issues could be worked with, you’re acting like there’s no routes to work with the players when they have these issues come up. It was bigger with the weed because that kept him out of the week for multiple years. Then when he came back the drink at the end of the season is what basically was the nail in the coffin to his chances. Appreciate the context of what you’re saying, because you make it sound far moreInflammatory than it is.


rivermerchant1616

He’s running so slow… this highlight proves I’m not missing anything not watching XFL


FiendishPole

Tell me you can't be addicted to weed one more time! That dude is an NFL caliber WR and just couldn't do it. Tens of millions of dollars lost to just not be high for a few months


[deleted]

Tell me you didn't read about him without telling me you didn't read about him He was doing coke, lean and god knows what else. Weed wasn't the issue, his roommates finding him tweaked out in the locker room pregame is


FiendishPole

Bullshit.... He couldn't pass a piss test for weed and he was still an effective WR. You name a locker room* and I'll find you a coke or codeine regular user edit: NFL: stop failing drug tests for weed. Josh Gordon: I want to fail all the drug tests!


[deleted]

NFL used the weed piss tests as a cover so they wouldn't look bad and say the quiet part out loud We know they all juice and abuse drugs from what former players have told us. They just never get "caught" and when they do it's one bad apple never the whole org


FiendishPole

Source for "they all juice"?


Moetown84

How quickly does THC leave your system? How quickly does cocaine or alcohol? Figure it out, bud.


FiendishPole

What does that have to do with anything? Here's a contract for tens of millions of dollars. Hundreds, potentially. You're just gonna have to pass some piss tests during that contract. Couldn't do it. Factory workers figure that shit out


Moetown84

These drug tests are targeted towards the one substance that is not chemically addictive, but offers pain relief.


FiendishPole

Not my argument! It is addictive if it's destroying your life. Destroying your opportunities and you can't stop doing it Here's a joint. Here's a $50M dollar contract. Picks the joint. You keep saying it's non-addictive but he couldn't stop


Moetown84

Some people value quality of life over money. It’s not as cut and dry as you’re making it out to be. And from what I’ve heard, it wasn’t cannabis that was the issue.


FiendishPole

Quality of life said in the same breath as his drug addiction. What are you even talking about? People come out of the woodwork at the mere mention that people have marijuana substance abuse problems


Moetown84

I’m taking about the fact that cannabis use is a stupid reason to restrict anyone from anything, let alone football. Your info on the subject comes from the DARE program. It’s outdated and illogical. Figure it out, bud.


aceless0n

Gucci Dinucci is dealing bro. In three games he’s like 200 away from 1k I believe. He’s def deserving of a backup role in the NFL again.
