Gordon takes a job as car salesman

The Canadian Football League wasn't a suitable alternative to playing in the NFL this year, so recently banned Cleveland Browns receiver Josh Gordon landed a new job -- as the goodwill ambassador for the Sarchione Auto Group in Ohio, sources told ESPN's Josina Anderson.

Gordon, 23, who led the NFL last season in receiving yardage but is suspended for the 2014 season, will work in all aspects of the Randolph, Ohio-based dealer group's car business, including as an on-floor salesman.

Gordon also will head all of Sarchione's local community efforts, including with the Wounded Warrior Project. He is scheduled to start this weekend.

Gordon briefly explored the possibility of playing in the CFL for the remainder of its season, but an NFL source told ESPN's Pat McManamon last week that provisions in his Browns contract would prevent him from doing so.

Good for him...stupid suspension.
