  • The whole world knows Baker is cocky. Sherman played that cleverly by lying about him not shaking hands pre-game.

    It had supposedly got the Niner's more pumped then they already were. Baker only did it to himself.

    I used to think its OK to be cocky if you're good...but man..

    Sherman doesn't give a fat rats ass about the game.  He was building his brand by lying about the handshake.  he got 300 million dollars worth of air time and now says "why all the fuss about a hand shake?"

  • It didn’t matter what Sherman said or didn’t say, the bottom line was Baker pooped his pants.

    For someone who barely cared about winning titles at OSU, this guy sure did take the flag thing seriously.  I mean, did he even bother to go to that game?

    He sure did.  It was the year before he suffered an injury that would have taken him out the rest of the regular season. Not sure why you think he barely cared about winning titles at osu.

  • Saw this as I was exiting the Survivor pool.  FYI

    Sorry Mr. Bosa, you cared so much about The Ohio State University football program you skipped out on 10 games plus the Bowl game because you were afraid it would hurt your draft status.... Trust me, the love from Buckeye Nation for pulling that stunt is minimal, though I suspect you don't give a rat about it.   Seems injury history runs in your family....

    Hoorta sorry but you are severely mistaken about the bosa thing and "skipping out on 10 games and the bowl game".  Only game he MAY have been back for was the bowl game.  OSU, while it does have a great training and medical staff, has to care and take care of over 100 players.  Nick got round the clock 1 on 1 rehab and treatment by a team focused solely on getting him back healthy. He hardly quit on his team like so many say. He was in constant (daily) contact with LJ,  Jayln, quite a few of the other dlineman, and talked nearly every other day with urban and plenty of other teammates. His teammates and coaches loved him as evidenced by their continued contact and how he was greeted when he showed up to the woody 4 seperate times throughout the season and practice out in California during rose bowl week. That reception was televised if you care to see the love and hugs everyone had for him. If his teammates and coaches who know more than the fans thought he quit or didn't care would they greet him like that? If you were in the woody when nick addressed the team you definitely wouldn't say he didn't care.  It was extremely emotional and nick multiple times had to be comforted by his team.  This was a decision taken out of his hands by injury team doctors his dad and ultimately Urban.

    Because people like to hate things they don't and can't understand. Bosa had a hernia and could have come back MAYBE for a bowl game without national championship implications, but risk re injury and draft status. It's easy for arm chair fans to say they'd come back, hurr durr, when they aren't in the position to potentially lose 10's of millions of dollars if they got hurt again. Meanwhile, Bosa along with McCaffrey who also sat out are essentially two of the top 5 young talents in the NFL.

    Anywho, after digesting this information the point in general still stands. It's obvious Baker does and says things to get people riled up to take him down. If you play like a franchise QB, IDGAF what you say in front of a microphone. But when you throw up stats as posted, you gotta humble yourself. I really hope someone gets to Baker on that, I think it will go a loooong way.

  • Nope. I think other players rile themselves up, but the underlying reason is they are jealous. Baker gets a lot of attention, I love his "home" commercials, etc.

       But, the Browns mistake was trading their OG on the right side. Robinson can't stay at LT next year - he loses the war badly when he is up against near the top competition.  I've seen the Browns' oline rated as 25th worst. They play worse than that vs top defenses.

       Even the Chief's offensive line, which was playing very well, was never the most talented line. But now they have lost a few players I think, and it shows. They just came back to reality - only scored 19 points on the Colts, and lost.

    Let's put this into perspective:

    **************************************

    https://tv5.espn.com/nfl/recap?gameId=401128053

    "On defense, the Colts spent most of the night in the Kansas City backfield, plugging up holes in the running game and relentlessly pressuring the reigning league MVP on passing downs.

    Mahomes was sacked four times and hit plenty more. At one point in the second half, Cam Erving was pushed so far into Mahomes' face that the backup left tackle stepped on his quarterback's ankle, leaving Mahomes to hobble to the sideline when Kansas City was forced to punt."

    ***************************************

    and Mahomes has Travis Kelce. Not Pharoah Brown. Even on a bad day...bad oline play...Kelce couldn't help much.

    He had the drops. Bad oline, bad/off a bit throws.

    Kelce caught four of 10 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's 19-13 loss to the Colts.

    It happens. the Browns will bounce back.

    Well, I  guess I  was wrong about  Bosa's OSU  history sorry. The inside  stuff  wasn't  well  publicized.

  • Yes Sherman lied, but everyone seems to be missing the part (unless I misunderstood) that he wasn't the one who brought it out. He said something to some reporter, who is good friends with Hue and the guy posted the story.

    He brought it out to the reporter, a flat out lie.  The reporter didn't say "hey did Baker shake your hand?"  He posted photos on his twitter of when the supposed shake was suppose to have happened.  It was all Sherman making it up. 

  • “What’s amazing, and annoying, was him not shaking hands at the beginning,” Sherman said, “That’s some college shit. It’s ridiculous. We’re all trying to get psyched up, but shaking hands with your opponent—that’s NFL etiquette. And when you pull bush league stuff, that’s disrespectful to the game. And believe me, that’s gonna get us fired up.”

    How exactly is that on the reporter? Its not some hue conspiracy it was literally Richard Sherman flat out telling a lie.

  • Sherm man'd up, apologized and said he will do the same to Baker personally because he "deserves" it.  Even said he would prefer calling him.    Sign of decency is admitting when you fucked up and making amends.

    Moving on with our lives now....

    I agree about the moving on but trying to blame it on the reporter is bogus.

    If this is proven to be 100% true it will be a big black eye for Sherman and anyone else who is associated with this little"caper".  I guess we all just wait and see.......and hope that is the case.

    Will Mayfield be completely exonerated in this?  Maybe.

  • So Sherman is a liar. The only thing that surprises me is the number of people that are shocked. He’s a liar, end of story

    Its been proven there is video of them shaking hands. Here is Sherman's Twitter where he claims it 

    Link to video of handshake a Baker getting/giving a bro hug to every other niner captain. Sherman was the dismissive one

  • I'm not saying Sherman isn't in the wrong, he most certainly is. But from what I read it wouldn't have come out if not for the reporter, who obviously has a thing against Baker
