Quote:I'm not saying for him to stay inside and do nothing. But when I hear the things Josh Gordon is doing and the good decisions he's making and then the only story we hear about Blackmon is he's in a casino, I just don't like hearing that. 

 

That may not be what you're saying, and I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean, but can you not see that that's exactly how some of the "complaints" about this whole thing sound. "Oh lawd hammercy! Why is he in a casino drinking juice at 9:30am...talking to/taking pictures with a fan...when alcohol is not even being served. How dare he?!?" Heaven forbid that casino had a banging breakfast buffet and he wanted some eggs and bacon, right?

 

I personally think he knew exactly what he was doing. He knows the rules in Oklahoma and he knew perfectly well that alcohol was not being served that time of day in the casinos. By virtue of these two things, I can't help but give him the benefit of the doubt and say "non-story" here. Now, if this had happened at 3pm, grapefruit juice or not, I'd be more inclined to say that those of you who think ill of his actions had a "moral" leg to stand on.
