I’m half crooked after chemo and a “little” medical cannabis and will leave you all tonight with a trollish question: Are the Browns better off without Mayfield? ( please consider all relevant info like salaries draft picks ect )

Seriously, I’m just askin

Weren't a lot of the players and staff fed up with him? It had seemed like he had run his course there which is a shame for Cleveland because he seems to be doing very well elsewhere. Cleveland meanwhile has committed to this window thats quickly running out and they did worse than Houston and Tampa this year which no one would have guessed at the beginning of the season.

OBJ's dad was fighting with Baker. I don't think that Baker is a great QB, but he is having a very good season.

Would you trade Deshaun for Baker and 3 first round draft picks?

Just learned today Jared Goff’s Dad  played in the big leagues.


So 1/4 of the starting QB’s remaining had dads play in the MLB

I'm not 100% sold that Watson is going to ever return to form (or health) but the answer to the question is "no."

I'm glad that Mayfield has been able to bounce back but this would've never happened in Cleveland. Dude was too immature (shaving his face 3x's at halftime during a game to change his luck/have a different look for the post game press conference) and created a bit of a divide (Baker's guys vs not) in the locker room.

What happened to him (getting traded, dealing with Carolina/Rams) was the best thing for him. He needed this gut punch/humility to realize Tampa was likely his last chance to start in the NFL. I don't think he's a FQB but is a serviceable starter who is usually pretty inconsistent.

Not sure why this is making the rounds (well, other than people wanting to have outrage over anything). NBC aired the entire thing live. I watched it lol. 

This was edited in post production for the quick segments where they need to show highlights and soundbites in about 5 minutes of all the games. Interviews and pressers are ALWAYS cut down and edited to fit in the alloted time.

I'd say it's definitely the "wanting to have outrage over anything" part. Looking up this Graham Allen on TwitterX, he's one of those political "influencer" sorts and anyone who's ever encountered one of them on that site knows they religiously adhere to the dual principle of nuthugging people/the party they support and whining incessantly about anything they disagree with, no matter how much they have to blow things out of proportion to do either.

Arthur Blank must have been really convincing with his "You made us look like utter fucks by coming back from 28-3, so you owe us one!!!" spiel. Combined with obscene amounts of money.

My preference to win it all (in order)

1. Whoever plays the best and doesn’t get too many crap calls and lucky bounces…I’m never mad when the better team wins.

2. Bills…..Allen isn’t my favorite I just think it will be super fun, similar to Cubs winning

3. Lions….same, but no 4th and 7 unnecessary 2 point conversion attempts or I’m rooting against them 

4. Chiefs….I don’t hate teams successes

5. Texans….like Stroud, OC and company

6. 49ers….they are tremendous with great talent 

7. Packers….I like when teams figure things out

8. Buccaneers….would be higher but just won recently

9. Ravens….If they win, they win


I want some great games

Lions vs Texans is the ideal from the current pool.

That’s weird. RG3 is a different dude. I usually like him

Who has the most pressure this weekend?

I say Lamar. It’s crazy that he’s never advanced passed this round.

Wasn’t long ago they were 14-2 and then bounced by the Titans

Josh Allen easy. Finally get the Chiefs away from KC. A Chiefs team that may not be as good as they have been in the past. He and Buffalo need to win this one.

49ers and Purdy specifically are also up there. Idk what their salary cap situation is but with how many studs they have on that team eventually guys are going to go elsewhere for a payday. The knock on Purdy is he’s just an average QB inserted into a talented team. If he has a dud game that won’t be good for him.
