I saw that somebody Tweeted the other day that they should do a commercial of Baker Mayfield moving out of the Browns' stadium, and I thought that was a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI had just checked into a Piscataway, N.J., hotel room the night before a Tuesday-morning meeting, flipped on the TV and Baker Mayfield was coming on the field to replace injured Tyrod Taylor. It was his debut with the 2018 Browns, and he led them to a come-from-behind win over the Jets. I figured he was going to be a big star. I still feel he might turn out to be.
As a Dolphins fan, I wasn't paying too much attention to Tim Couch in Cleveland. He seemed to be doing OK to me, and then suddenly his career was over. That was too bad.
