Cleveland is really going to have to massage this situation with the fanbase.
It's probably going to feel gross cheering for Bill-Cosby-lite.
Seems like a lot to give up for a guy currently in the midst of 20+ civil lawsuits. lol...

What do you think the odds are he turns around and "donates" 10 mil of that to women's groups after the civil trials are over?Quote:

may not be hearing as much rapelisberger jokes from the browns fans, seems the moral high ground has shifted
Why? I would imagine most are thrilled. Unless he stinks.Quote:

Well it certainly didn’t shift back to Pittsburgh. Baltimore had a murderer as their team captain, and Cincinnati has been like a halfway house for years. Maybe we all look to Buffalo as our moral compass?Quote:

It is pretty hilarious that the Browns said all of that nonsense about wanting an adult at QB. I guess sexual assault and misconduct makes you a grown ass man? lol...
BTW, it's confirmed that all 230 million is fully guaranteed. That's insanity.
I've had a soft spot for the Browns since I was a kid. And the Steelers and Ravens are among my least favorite teams. But I ain't rooting for Watson.Quote:

230 million AND they're coughing up 3 first round picks. That's some good crack they're getting in Cleveland.
In continued AFC west nuclear arms race, Juju is going to KC on a one year deal.
The Chargers need to get the honey badger ��.
I'm surprised Houston didn't get Mayfield in the trade. He's better than anyone else they have or would expect to get, right?
Crazy offseason
I’m hoping the AFC West cannibalizes itselfQuote:

As I said in the Browns thread, I’m a Baker guy and wanted the team to roll with him. He earned that I thought.
They are in win now mode. And I don’t know how everyone will reconcile their fandom moving forward.
Pittsburgh sure enjoyed their two Super Bowl parades with Ben at the helm, I know that. If Watson gets the Browns there, I’m sure the parade route will be crowded as well.
It’s a weird cognitive separation fandom creates.

Again, for those in the cheap seats, I wanted to roll with Baker. My young son got a Baker jersey for Christmas. His request. I haven’t had the heart to tell him what’s going on.
Ahh that stinks. Lots of young kids around here wearing Bucs jerseys these days…Quote:

I wonder what the Falcons fan base here in town would have said if he chose ATL.
I see Matty Ice at my kid’s school every week and he’s a total class act. Something tells me there would not be half the uproar if Watson were replacing him like what we’re seeing in CLE right now.
Myself included.
Hey Baker, if you’re a skier and happen to be reading this: Seahawks like short QBs and you’re toughness is valued up here. Lumen Field is pretty nice too, great Master Bedroom.
I don’t think I you will have to worry. The Browns will never have the success the Steelers have had the last 15Quote:

Someone had to take on the roll of sketchy AFC North QB now that Benny's gone
I thought he was more in to face shots? 🥁Quote:

I’m not really a browns fan, but I do like Baker. Shitty situation they put him in.
Geez, is that what SI is these days, hot takes in print? Those are terrible reads. First one, the Browns do business like every other successful team (point to any winning team bringing in a shitbag who can ball out; Pats, Bengals, Steelers, TB, the list goes on) and they get called out for not staying in their role of lovable loser?Quote:

And I’m on record that I‘m not a fan of the move and would rather roll with Mayfield.
SI wants to be Barstool
Barstool at least has memes.
I'm still in disbelief over what the Browns just did, dude is 28-26 as a starter and could be suspended for being an asshole
