The Josh Gordon Thread: Pats Officially Acquire Gordon for Fifth-Round Pick

[chris_in_sunnyvale]

My buddy says you need to treat Match like looking for a job. Fill your pipeline full of opportunities (go on a crap ton of interviews), qualify them out and those are your hot jobs. Then you have a few you have on a string wanting to give you offer letters. Then you settle on one.

I can vouch for this.

Chris

Exactly.. just like the Patriots draft.. give yourself as many chances as possible to land a hit. Just be careful who you pick in the second round...

That worked for me, more or less. I'd never had a girlfriend. In fact, I had never even been on a date until I met my wife. I was just too shy, I guess. Then she turned me down when I first asked her out (I was so nervous that I accidentally said that my friends made me ask her out, so she thought I wasn't serious -- instead, they only told me that I had to actually go through with my plan to ask her, not that I should do something I didn't want to do). That was probably the worst moment of my life, but it made me realize how much I wanted to pursue that relationship, so in the end I think it was the best thing for us. Now we're happily married and have kids running around causing problems.

Anyway, you never know how things might go. I was 25 when I met my wife, so I felt like I was old and washed up, but now I realize I was still just a youngin'. Go out and do stuff you enjoy. You never know where you might someone with similar interests. I met my wife at a dance show and we chatted a bit afterward, and ended up performing together in another show (I used to be a professional acrobat / dancer before I became a boring engineer). The rest is history, as they say.

Sorry to go so off topic. Y'all can get back to discussing Hogan now. Errr, I mean, Gordon.

I met Mrs. RW in a college classic literature class in 1991. She sat in front of me.

I thought she had a nice ass. Still does. That was it for me.

Any news on Corey Coleman ps?

The strategy makes total sense. Its like the NFL Draft and building an NFL roster.

BB should go to Match.com and find a freaking WR. After 28 transactions he doesn't have enough of a pool of talent to evaluate

Volunteer or join something other than a Pats fan forum like a book club.

The truth hurts.

Yeah, my roommate treats it like a numbers game too and finds success (there's always a new girl around the house it seems). Thing is, he's also 6 feet tall with social skills, whereas I'm 5'6 and have thousands of posts on Patsfans, so I think there are also confounding variables at play.

(I used to be a professional acrobat / dancer before I became a boring engineer).

I'm already a washed up, boring engineer at 23. Your story is still encouraging though. I wish I had interests that were remotely social...or interest in anything remotely social...

Thanks for rallying around me, guys. I'll probably continue to do nothing while complaining on the internet.

Glad to see #10 at practice.

Probably? You can’t be more sure that a trade is done than a player actually practicing with the team, but these mediots are always so sure of themselves when it comes to anonymous and imaginary sources.

I took that as tongue in cheek.

I dunno about the last 2 but Tinder has only failed me (haven't even bothered using it in over 6 months). My current strategy of doing nothing and waiting for someone cool to magically pop into my life has been wildly unsuccessful.

For the most part, everyone knows why they’re on Tinder. Even the girls that say they’re there for a “serious relationship only” are full of **** and they know it. If you match with someone, you know they like the way you look. So be aggressive. Tell them to come over and watch the Netflix documentary about eating ass with you. It works, man. You won’t get a relationship out of it (you’ll have to get off Tinder for that) but at least you’ll shed that first nut.

Just as a PSA, this thread has been derailed by folks arguing football opinions with someone who declared the Patriots were no better than a 7-9 team after week 3 of the 2014 NFL season (Raider game) and refused to own up to that prediction as the season went on.

It was on someone's signature for a long while, too..... Kontra or PatsWickedPissah, don't remember who.

Wish there was a hybrid Genius/Winner icon. Because that's what you are.

Next-level detective work. Can't you complain about your relationship woes instead?

Got your whole life ahead of you. I don't have any major regrets in life but going back to be 23 for a few days would be pretty freaking cool.

Happily married for 8 years now with a 6 year old daughter.... different set of complaints!

 

[SammyBlueCat]

Soooo.

Coach Bill still will not acknowledge that this trade has happened.

Does this mean the WR previously known as Josh Gordon has a new name???

 

[luuked]

I am sure there are things that you are passionate about that are not engineering or football related. Don't sell yourself short.. literally.. as if being 6 feet tall vs. 5'6 makes any difference really.

I wish I had interests that were remotely social...or interest in anything remotely social...

Just install one of the apps and write to people that match with you. There is literally nothing you can lose. Worst case you delete that contact / unmatch it. Either way you get into a habit of talking to people / being social.

And if you feel to anxious about it.. time to take a few drinks first and lets goooo

That genius rating is not sarcastic btw. I fully mean it.

ViperGTS. I noticed he snuck back in but I tortured him pretty mercilessly last year and figured I’d give him a break. He had a full ****** moment in the game thread. It happens.

I think he's more likely to find Waddle's replacement there.

If we are talking all timers then there is no thread that comes even close to the legendary "I dont care and cant stand it" from the very same year. The golden standard..

Or last year's Gilmore thread. That was also a good one..

You're really hitting your stride.
