Josh Gordon's status creates fantasy conundrum



Conundrum may refer to:
  • riddle whose answer is or involves a pun or unexpected twist
  • logical postulation that evades resolution, an intricate and difficult problem


I also encountered a term "mulled" in Goffman's writing. 

mull
mull 1  (mŭl)
tr.v. mulledmull·ingmulls
To heat and spice (wine, for example).

[Origin unknown.]

mull 2  (mŭl)
v. mulledmull·ingmulls
v.tr.
To go over extensively in the mind; ponder.
v.intr.
To ruminate; ponder: mull over a plan.

[Probably Middle English mollen, mullento moisten, crumble; see moil.]
