Reacting to Josh Gordon stepping away from the Patriots Dec 20, 2018

Show notes

Josh Gordon stepped away from the New England Patriots Thursday morning after he was returned to the Reserve/Commissioner Suspended list for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Tom E. Curran talks with Sports Illustrated's Ben Baskin, who profiled Gordon a year-ago as he prepared to return to the NFL with the Cleveland Browns. Baskin talks about the many issues Gordon faced growing up, landing with the Browns, and how he is very concerned with Gordon's future without the structure of football.

NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry then joins Tom to talk about the impact of Gordon's departure on the field, and how much of an impact the offense will truly face in the final two weeks and into the playoffs.
