Little on Gordon

The way HBO made it seem, Josh Gordon was arriving in at Cleveland’s Hopkins International Airport at the same time the Browns were playing their second preseason game of the season.

I’m not sure of HBO’s editing schedule, but fans were probably expecting a little more regarding the former 2013 Pro Bowler.

It was announced Gordon would be returning, with restrictions, on the day after the Browns’ second preseason game.

HBO’s editing schedule may have prohibited more footage, however, the film exists, as the show used it to tease next week’s program.

All viewers were left treated to Gordon working out in Berea with cutaways to his teammates competing on the field at FirstEnergy Stadium.

In a genuine moment, coach Hue Jackson informed the cameras that Gordon was “here.” Not here as in the stadium, but in Cleveland and ready to come back to the team.
