I would like to see the implosion of OHIO as Baker wins more games then the Browns this season.

100%.

Everyone shit on the dude last season -- who got the crap beat out of him all season long but still went out and gave it his all.

Baker was not the Brown's problems last season.

As a Michigan and Browns fan… I liked Baker, but he deserved plenty of the shit put on him by Browns fans. Sure Stefanski should have stepped in and benched him, but Baker refused to sit and repeated all season long that he was healthy enough to play and he’ll say when he should sit. It’s an unfortunate situation, but you only have  the other players on the team in their prime for so long… Baker has had 1.5 good seasons out of 4. How long would you suggest the Browns wait it out with him? Let’s also not forget that Michigan fans shit on Shea Patterson much more than Browns fans did on Baker. 


At the end of the day, I’m not happy with getting Watson, but a replacement for Baker seemed pretty needed.

Are we talking for each of their team? Of course Baker was better overall, but how Baker played for the Browns is no better than how Shea played for Michigan.. which from the sounds of it you’re cool with how Michigan fans trashed Shea, but not cool with how Browns fans trashed Baker. Which, by the way, Baker was getting paid and Shea was not. So really, Baker SHOULD have higher expectations than Shea did.

Yeah, the fact he finally showed remorse when it became clear the NFL was likely to suspend him for over a year.  Also, he barely apologized, saying he's sorry to any of the women who he impacted by this situation, which is some grade-A PR bullshit in which you don't actually say the offense.  Like, a normal human being with empathy would say "I'm sorry I sexually assaulted over 2 dozen women, including pressuring them to perform sexual acts on me and ejaculating on them without their permission." 

Anyway, I know he's not the only asshole in the NFL but I hope he sucks with the Browns forever.

There's something definitely wrong with him too.  I know a former NFL player and he said that for guys that need some "companionship" the teams have connections to women who are safe professionals and that superstars are especially taken care of so they don't get caught in a dangerous/bad situation.  

So Watson just kept going out on his own to random massage places and doing.....whatever it was that he did to those women.  Creep.

But hey.....why not give him the biggest protected contract in NFL history.

Easy to hate the Browns right now with the whole, you know, serial rapist QB thing going on. Allegedly. 
 

Biggest WTF of the off-season. 
 

As always: Fuck Ohio.

After the browns gave the bank away to Watson with all of his off the field baggage and the way the front office did Baker, I am all for this. Not much of a Baker fan but you cant help but feel a little bad for the guy.
