Josh Gordon apologizes to Browns fans after gut-wrenching loss
Take heart, Cleveland Browns fans. Josh Gordon feels your pain. After all, he was a fan Monday night, too.
After a night of live tweeting during the Browns-Ravens game, it's quite possible the suspended receiver dropped his phone after seeing his team add another epic loss to its tortured history.
Gordon, who was spectating instead of playing due to his year-long substance abuse suspension, finished off his tweetstorm with an apology to Browns fans everywhere -- not necessarily for the how the Browns loss, but because he wasn't able to help.
Leading up the final exasperating moment, Gordon was cheering on his teammates during the roller coaster of an evening. At first, he was cheering on quarterback Josh McCown, even giving him props for his Johnny Manziel-like escape before a 10-yard touchdown pass to Marlon Moore in the second quarter.
Can't question @JoshMcCown12's heart.. Definition of resilient..?

After McCown went down, Gordon wanted to see Manziel in the game, just like most other Browns fans in the crowd.
Give the people what they want to see.. ? @JManziel2 #MNF
