    Yeah...I noticed how you picked out Josh Gordon to make your point but not Albert Bell who ran over kids or Jim Brown who probably been beating women for decades...

    I just saw a friend I know post this hypocrisy and I know he voted for Trump.

    Your points are weak...if you were that much on a pedestal you should've stopped watching the league a long time ago

    You don't know what happened nor do i...all we know is that the court said Bye....didn't even arrest him..like Kareem Hunt.

    I give up the picks....what has picks gotten us before?

    If he wasn't a QB with numbers he would be a footnote? Isn't that every player??lol

    Is this Ghoolie?   I see he's been absent a few days at another Brown's forum....

    Since Berry became GM the Browns have drafted very well. Before him, your point is valid.

    Here's the thing football-wise....Watson may be somewhat in the clear (civil suits pending), but Goodell is certainly going to suspend him. So if the Browns do acquire him, he's out for what, 4 to 6 games? So think of the worst-case scenario here- Browns go 1-3, 0-4, 1-5, or 0-6 and have no #1  draft choice in 2023, 2024, 2025 to help dig out.

    This risk-reward is stupid. They're possibly dumping Baker & his drama for Watson and MORE drama. 

    The franchise seemed to settle down, and now they may risk this? And alienating many fans? Jeez Haslam, you're a fool.

    Haslam is a fool.  And that’s why I sold my PSL’s a few years ago. 
    And to the people that are on here claiming they won’t renew their season tickets, I say BS. Until they actually do it, I don’t believe them

    I still, and always will, root for the Browns. But I sure as hell won’t give my money to Jimma again

  • Watson suspended 10games

  • Just stop with the holier than thou garbage with Watson. If he cleared by a court of law......then that's it. We as Cleveland fans have rooted for a good number of players in all sports who were by reputation and sometimes court...bad people (Jim Brown, Albert Bell, Kareem Hunt, Josh Gordon.....etc).  If you go to The NFL for your morals then grow up.....from the Patriots owner, Indy owner, Tyrek Hill......cheating, doping, rapes, racial disparities, vehicular homicides....Been in the NFL for decades. .I wanna win at all costs. That's professional sports....that's just reality. I ain't boycotting nothing...

    Right on. Except that doesn't work for kids that look up to sports figures as heroes and role models.  We don't tell them its about winning at all costs.

    More baggage....with ALOT more talent. Will he be suspended? Maybe....but we only have a few seasons of the top time of players like Gareett, Chubb....Hunt. etc...

    You want Baker versus Holmes, Herbert, Burrows, Allen, Jackson....etc?? The AFC is nuts...new day.

    Look at what the last 2 Superbowl winners do.

    Fans just need to grow up and stop being hypocrites

    Your frequent use of the word "hypocrite" is improper.  What you are babbling about is what you believe to be double standards.

    If you bash Big Ben for his sexcapades but give Watson a pass, you are applying a double standard.

    If you chastise Watson for molesting women while being a molester of women yourself, you are being a hypocrite.

    And if you're on a sports board but posting regarding correct terminology then giving examples you might be a bored bitch...

    Am I using "bored bitch" correctly? Should I use it in a  sentence for you?

    What Ben did was very different from what Watson did. Ben actually followed a woman into the bathroom, stationed someone outside the door and raped her in the bathroom. Multiple witnesses backed the woman's claim.

    Watson may or may not have paid for a happy ending by massage providers who were so shocked that they had repeat appointments.

    Not for me, for the human brain. You are effected by everything you see. In fact, that's why you posted this topic.

    To try to reconcile the dissonance between the Browns signing a star QB and your personal problem with what the QB is alleged to have done. 

    It's basically denial, but I would suggest that there is a better way than denial. Dig deeper into the facts.

    Yes...for the human brain. Some people are easier to mislead than others and that's why you have a Jonestown, cults, drug addicts ...etc. I was taught a long time ago to not put people, places and things on a pedestal with such ease. Especially a celebrity, athlete and or politician. Topic is posted because for me...it's a matter of recognizing how things are in reality and double standards, hypocrisy....

    Facts? Facts are Grand jury can indict a ham sandwich and they didn't indict Watson on a single count. He didn't even get arrested, no mugshot... Need Deeper? Some of the women who performed the massage, went back and performed it multiple times without alerting any supervisor. None of the women said  there was  physical force was used by Watson and the defense attorney didn't even charge him with soliciting (But the Pats owner was).........Besides,  .If 70 million people can give the nuclear football to someone with 25 alleged sexual assaults...How can I have too much of an issue with someone at quarterback with 22 of them? Why go to the NFL for morals when you can't even go to the highest office in the land? So.....yeah

    I don't think you quite understood my post. My point is that, as a Browns fan, you can deal with what Watson is alleged to have done in one of two ways:

    1. Denial approach. :I don't get my morals from the NFL anyway so it doesn't matter what he may have done."

    2. Information approach. "I read what he supposedly did and it really isn't that troubling."

    It seems you may be adopting the better approach (#2). So, we are in agreement.

  • You should look up the definition of "denial."

    Denial would be I don't believe he did anything wrong.

    I'm the no.3 approach. It's called REALITY. In REALITY  people do horrible sh@$ and get away with it. Since I'm not a super hero, cop or God then it's not my lane.

    GO BROWNS

    The denial I was referring to relates to your thinking that a situation like Watson coming to the Browns doesn't implicate your morals. But it does. It offends your morals. What I'm suggesting is if you analyze the situation objectively, you will likely come to the conclusion that Watson is being framed in a massive money grab. Therefore, you would not have any moral conflict with him coming to the Browns. Just accepting the allegations at face value is giving up too easy. Don't even get me started on cops...

    Or does it implicate a lack of hypocrisy. I didn't leave my country when we gave the nuclear football to a man with 25 alleged sexual assaults, so why would I leave my team over a a quarterback with 22 of them?

    Could it be a massive money grab? Certainly....the grand jury can indict a ham sandwich and they didn't indict him on even 1 charge. None of the women complained to a supervisor and most did it multiple times. The court could've done 1 and sent the other 21 packing, the 22 accusations came almost all at once when he requested a trade, the attorney lives on the Texan's owner street, family are friends and the run in the same political circles.  What's also very possible is Watson is a complete perv and deserves prison.....it's just out of my hands and way above my paygrade.
