ERST LESEN! » eason.Gordon arrives

Josh Hodgson had no right to play on Saturday night.Forget that he damaged ligaments and bruised some bone in his left ankle just seven days earlier.Just hours before steering Canberra to a 22-12 win over Penrith for a place in next weekends grand final qualifier against Melbourne, the star NRL hooker was bed-ridden with a severe stomach bug.Hodgson came down with the illness after completing his first - and only - training session of the week on Friday, spending most of game-eve on the toilet.It was the last thing the Dally M Medal contender wanted, having surviving days of intense physiotherapy and late nights icing his foot.I just didnt feel quite right, the understated Englishman said.Luckily it was night match, so it managed to wear off in time for kick-off.I was down about 1.5kg before the game, so not too much; I was just trying to keep the fluids up as much as I could.Its been a rough week, but the win makes up for it.Rated by some as the competitions most in-form No.9, Hodgson was error-free in his 30- tackle effort at GIO Stadium.His kicking game was again on-song, as too was his running out of dummy half.Hes a tough Pom - theres no two ways about it, coach Ricky Stuart said.For him to get out there and do that after what hes been through this week with his ankle and then the last day-and-a-half in bed, just trying to feed him as much fluid and whatever he could eat, its what the team is about. Its what our club is about now.The resilience in this group of players is amazing and Im in a privileged position to be their coach.Fellow playmaker Blake Austin, who also made a stunning return from injury to score a try in the semi-final victory after breaking his hand last month, labelled Hodgsons heroics huge.We know what he means to our team but hes not one for personal accolades, so we just let him get on with his job, Austin said.He didnt spent much time with us (on Friday night) at our hotel but he came and just got the job done. Full credit to him.Weve had plenty of examples of toughness in this team and Im sure therell be plenty more over the next many years.Despite the rough week, Hodgson said nothing was going to stop him from playing the Storm at AAMI Park, in what will be the clubs first preliminary final in the NRL era.No matter how many games youve played, when youre one win away from a grand final that gives you a lot of energy, he said.

BEREA, Ohio -- Josh Gordon says he is returning to the Cleveland Browns a different man, one more willing and ready to accept help and support from others.Those were Gordons words Thursday in his first public comments since he was reinstated by the NFL from a one-year ban.Gordon did not apologize for missing the 2015 season due to multiple violations of the NFLs substance-abuse policy, but he did say he was tremendously excited to be given another chance and grateful the Browns took him back.I definitely think Im a different person, he said. If you havent changed over a period of time, thats a bad thing. I think me standing here is a testament to that. Most people might not see it that way. That just comes with the territory of me being who I am, considering my past.Gordon said he had taken the necessary steps to better myself as a person off the field just as much as on. He did not answer when asked if he went to rehab but promised he is much more willing to accept help.I have a great support staff here, more so than Ive ever felt before, Gordon said. And it plays a part on both sides. Me wanting to give into that support and allow them to help me and me wanting to be helped as opposed to before me trying to be selfish and do things on my own.I want to buy into an organization, a loving, caring, providing facility. And people here that want to do the most that they can, to do everything that they can to help us. Which they were trying to tell us today.Thats what I want to be a part of.Gordon met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on July 21 as part of his effort to be reinstated.He was willing to hear me out on all points, and I was grateful for the opportunity, Gordon said. I think I got off my chest things I was desperately trying to convey. I think he understood that.Gordon admitted he was self-centered when he played for the Brownns in the past.dddddddddddd.But things turn around, he said. People change. Its possible to change. It takes people some learning. But eventually you get to that point. I think I have.Gordon was suspended two games in the 2013 season (when he still led the league in receiving yards), 11 games in 2014 (one by the team) and all 16 in 2015.He also will be suspended for the first four games of the 2016 season.Gordon arrives with a quad injury but is ready to return to practice.Sashi Brown, the Browns executive vice president, said the receiver is at his core a good person, and coach Hue Jackson said what captured [him] was Josh Gordon as a person.Theres nothing were going to be able to do to force Josh to change, Brown said. The change is going to be within, and we will support him through that.Gordon said nothing he could do at a podium would prove he is different. He said he simply has to do it in the community and with the team, on and off the field. His locker has been placed next to that of quarterback Robert Griffin III?in the teams newly renovated locker room.Hes the reason why I committed to Baylor in 2009, Gordon said. Thats one of my best friends. Its not a mistake that my locker is next to his. He looks out for me as part of my support staff Ive been mentioning. Guys I know I can lean on. I know hes a big brother in that regard.Gordon also praised Hall of Fame running back and Browns special adviser Jim Brown for his help in the past months. The receiver said several other NFL players had reached out to him -- though he did not specify whom. He called his year off humbling.But the point has definitely got across to me, clear as day, Gordon said. Thats not a place you want to go back to or ever get to. ' ' '
