So we are going to use this post to discuss all of the details about the new 2015 Nissan Frontier. Read the rest of this entry >>

All-Pro Browns Receiver Josh Gordon to Sell Cars at Ohio Dealership During 2014 Season

Strange Careers that Famous Athletes Have Held

Here at Matt Castrucci Nissan we like to share interesting stories with you that we hear, especially when they deal with our home state of Ohio like this story does. Josh Gordon, who is one of the best receivers in the National Football League and was a 2013 NFL All-pro, will be forced to sit out the 2014 season. He was suspended by his team, the Cleveland Browns, after he reportedly tested positive for Marijuana following a drug test. However, what makes this story interesting is what he will be doing this year for a job instead of playing football. Gordon will spend the 2014 season selling cars instead of playing football. Supposedly, he wanted to go play in the Canadian Football League this season, but the Browns would not allow him out of his contract to do that. So he will be spending this season selling cars and acting as the good will ambassador for a car dealership located in Ohio (Not Matt Castrucci Nissan unfortunately). We found this story to be interesting and funny. So we decided to dedicate an entire blog to strange careers that famous athletes have held outside of their sports. Read the rest of this entry >>
