Well, hello, hello, hello, and welcome to the Locked on NFL podcast.

This is the national NFL flagship of the whole Lockedon podcast network that brings you your team every day.

And how about this? We're the number one local sports daily podcast network in the world now.

We are buzzing. We are booming. I'm sure there's some new listeners. Please spread the word.

And a huge reason we are booming is because a friend of mine, Mike Sando, who joins me every Thursday.

Happy holidays of you and yours there, Mr. Sando.

Thank you, Matt.

Good to be here again.

Absolutely.

Happy holidays to all they're listening as well.

The news of the day, it's Josh Gordon, a troubled young man with pretty obvious addiction issues

that have gone on for a long time, has left the Patriots.

And what's your initial take on it?

Sad for him, you know, you sort of root for guys.

I think we've gone from, you know, when guys get into trouble being just completely

negative on them and how could this guy screwed up to realizing that football players aren't the

only ones who have issues in their lives and have addiction issues and other just holes in their

lives that, you know, leave them and us astray.

So you hope initially, you know, you hope in the big picture that he can just get

right.
