OT: Boooo Hoooo Melvin Gordon

[FoutsFan]

Just makes you wonder what is going on in his head. smh

Nothing, absolutely nothing!

[FoutsFan]

Nobody loves Melvin Gordon more than the president of his fan club: Melvin Gordon.

Fathers should tell their daughters, you need to find yourself a man who loves you like Melvin Gordon loves Melvin Gordon.

You guys are brutal. Put tape over that dramatic headline, he didn’t say all that much. Last year was a weird, long, shitty year for a lot of people, He’s people too.

You’re right, just poking a little fun.
Even at his age, dude clearly can use a little mentoring beyond his infamously, obsessive father who looks to be living out his dreams through his son.

I think what bothers a lot of us is that Gordon stubbornly engaged in that lame holdout, even though TT reportedly made a very decent offer to him. This ended up affecting the team for the worse. Then when Mel DID come back, it took him weeks to get into football shape, probably causing a few more losses. then he makes lame comments like this:

"I am not going to lie. Just cause a lot of fans and a lot of people weren't too happy with me coming in and Phil wanting to get paid and everything like that. I was like, Look man, I had no parts in that. I wanted to be here and they wanted me to be here. It was a mutual thing and it kind of just happened. It was tough, man, because I felt like a lot of people didn't accept me."

Then, when Mel equates his own situation to Rivers's contract, this is just plain delusional. When he also says "a lot of people didn't accept me," he is failing to recognize the damage he did to his own team, and also the credibility he lost from us, the fans. Nothing personal, it's a BUSINESS. If he didn't like the deal he had, he should have just quietly finished his contract, then moved on to test the FA market. But no. He had to turn this whole situation into some kind of personal issue. Like I said, the dude has a serious persecution complex--and he brings most of his woes on himself by his own foolish actions. The fact that he is still whining to the press about this is further evidence of his classic headcase status...

I think Gordon will be great match for a team that can believe in him, support him and have OC who believes in running.
yes MG will sign with Lions next year.

Headline Reporter: What's up, can a headline reporter come up in your crib?

Melvin Gordon: Man F U, I'll see you at work.

Headline Reporter: Ah Melvin don't hate me because I'm beautiful Melvin. Maybe if you got rid of that stupid dread you got you'd get some money on your deposit. Oh, better yet, maybe Philip Rivers will call your dog ass if he ever stop getting it on with that wife he keeps making children with....... Badger!

Melvin Gordon: What?!

[Silversurfer]

I know everyone was scratching their head when he didnt score one damn touchdown his 1st year.

He's probably fumbling as we speak.

[SuperCharged]

Wonder ;if he watched JH's season and was like "F#@K I Effed up bad!":facepalm1:

I get what bugs folks. His hold out hurt the team, but hurt him more. It was a decisively bad strategy that blew up in his face and may go down as the single mistake that ruined his otherwise middling-just-above-average career. He’s not the first guy to hold out. I don’t see a lot of Gates-hate on the forum, he arguably cost us the playoffs when he held out.

Its a business, guys need to maximize what they get as that window closes very quickly. There is zero fucking loyalty or love by teams to players that no longe are useful or fit their plan, the entire loyalty emotion too often on the forum is pollyanna failure to recognize this is a billion dollar business.

But if we should remove the emotion to a degree and recognise the commercial realities of the players fighting for their careers, can’t we also expect the players to act like the highly paid professionals that they are? If I went to work and complained in a public platform that people didn’t accept me and that I was sick of being under appreciated, then I’d expect they’d rightly criticise me for being a bit of a baby and demand that I get on with working and earning my lucrative salary.
