Another week has come and gone. Let’s review some Freezing Cold Takes related to the past week’s action.

JOSH GORDON SUSPENDED AGAIN

On Monday, Josh Gordon was suspended indefinitely once again for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. It’s a sad and unfortunate situation, and we all hope Gordon gets the help he needs. Gordon, who was released by the Patriots at the end of October, signed with the Seahawks on November 1. After Gordon made an amazing 58-yard fingertip catch Sunday, many wondered why the Patriots even cut him in the first place. This is despite the fact that this great catch was only his seventh in five total games for the Seahawks. Here’s a sampling of fun tweets:

Why ooo why Oo why did the @Patriots let Josh Gordon go smh… the guy is STILL a baller.

Rarely do the #Patriots make mistakes on their personal but I can offically say they missed big on this one. Should’ve kept him.

SAME OLD BROWNS

Last year, the Browns had a pretty good finish to the season and quarterback Baker Mayfield showed potential. Then, the team traded for Odell Beckham Jr. in the offseason and promoted Freddie Kitchens to head coach. This was essentially enough for a huge faction of people to anoint the Browns the next big thing in the NFL. After losing to Arizona 38-24 on Sunday, the Browns have officially clinched an entire decade of finishing under .500 at the end of each season. There is no better time than now to lay out some of the best Browns hype tweets from the offseason. Hope you didn’t listen to any of these guys:

"They have 10 players, offensively and defensively, in the top-15 at their respective positions this upcoming season." @PFF helps us highlight just how dangerous this Browns team really will be in the AFC North in 2019. From earlier on @CBSSportsHQ. pic.twitter.com/QPvlKIVQWk

Just in case anyone forgot…the #Browns are for real in 2019.

Here’s a sentence you might have to read twice to believe: the Browns are a popular choice among gamblers to win the Super Bowl. https://t.co/oGTX5XxNAo

THE LAKERS ARE BACK

The Lakers have the best record in the NBA right now. Here are some tweets from this offseason and October:

If the Lakers DON’T get Kawhi Leonard… I have the Pelicans winning more REGULAR season games than the Lakers.

MORE FROM THIS PAST WEEK

Oh how we missed Magic Johnson’s exciting tweeting style:

I think the signing of former Spartan and All-Pro running back @LeVeonBell will make the Jets a playoff contending team.

The Cowboys destroyed the Rams Sunday. Safe to say that the Dallas Morning News sports staff did not expect such a result:

Congratulations to Madison Bumgarner for signing with Arizona for $85 million over five years.

The #SFGiants say they're still hanging in the Madison Bumgarner sweepstakes, but there's no doubt now that Bumgarner's will get at least $100 million in free agency

Rough estimate.

Hey Aaron: how much of a chance do the Packers have at being .500 this season? pic.twitter.com/pvePMmADc5

He may have jumped the gun here:

I’m not so sure Cam Newton will have his job back when he returns from injury. MVP or not, Kyle Allen is the better quarterback.

Happy tenth anniversary!

Good thing Tiger did not listen to this guy:

Right this minute there really should be no possibility Tiger plays in the Presidents Cup. He has played a right load of old rubbish since April and has undergone surgery too. If he plays one can only conclude that the PC is nothing more than an exhibition. #justsaying

Old Lamar Jackson slander never gets old.

Jackson is a great athlete but an awful QB. He’s not the answer. I’m uncomfortable with how they even think this will be successful. This got “ALL BAD” written ALL over it.

Not this year. Still time, though!
