    As long as the money was fake (for the college kids sake), I don't care. Let him have fun. If this was the Bosa boys, nobody would care. It's who he is. Not everyone in the world has the same type of personality and having the low key personality doesn't necessarily win championships. This is a big whatever, guys having fun story to me. It's his money.

    Oh and let's not forget, OBJ still had 74 receptions for over 1000 yards with a Sports Hernia and a moron head coach the entire year. It wasn't OBJ levels of good but He competed.

      In that case I do not want to know how it ends...

      The article said the money was fake. He was just having fun with a couple of players. I see no harm in this. Lighten up!!!

        After multiple losing seasons since the rebirth, I never thought I would see fans ok with all the distractions. This MAY be acceptable on a perennial winner, but the Browns need to right the ship in the worst way. If you think think distractions aren't that big of a deal then look no further than the whole Myles Garrett debacle. That whole fiasco in my mind single handedly deflated the rest of the Browns season. As a fan, I am getting tired of waiting for a winner and watching the annual circus. We need more guys like Nick Chubb that understand the importance of coming in and bringing the lunch pale and keeping his head down working hard. As a fan I demand it and deserve it.

        I wouldn't call what Myles Garrett did a distraction.  It was a bonehead dumbass decision on the field during the game.  To me distractions happen off the playing field whether it be on the sidelines proposing to field goal nets or things like this (just using OBJ for continuity sake figure if I do it enough maybe the browns will give a coach and GM a chance for once). For the record I have no issue with what OBJ did last night being it was fake money.  Hell if he gave real money to joe burrow I wouldn't even be mad as he is draft eligible.

        I do agree though that Myles Garrett incident deflated the season but I just don't classify it as a distraction.  An injury could derail a season just the same as a suspension with a player fighting for extra yards late in an already decided game or even going at 60% in said game but that doesn't make it a distraction. Distractions don't usually derail seasons. They are minor incidences.

          Exactly....these team would play like shite with or without the distractions.  Or, if it gets good, it will play well, with or without distractions.  They are only distractions if you are losing.

            You're whats wrong with football if you think this is a problem. Let him root for his alma mater ffs.

            If Harvard ever made the national championship, i'd be doing attention-grabbing things too.

              I gather he got to be a fan for a night. Just like me. I can relate.  He got to see his favorite team win a championship, and he was in a position to glean a little extra limelight on it and went for it.

              In a sense, It’s kinda his responsibility to do that. Win or lose the game and the moment are over. What’s next? OBJ was there to show them the way.

              I’m just kinda sad Jarvis wasn’t there too.

                        While many thought that the cash was real, an LSU athletic official told The Advocate's Brooks Kubena that the bills were fake.

                        This certainly doesn't come as a surprise as Beckham appeared to just be having fun with the LSU players. After all, it is against NCAA rules for athletes to accept money of any kind prior to turning pro. Beckham did send every LSU player a set of headphones before the national championship game, which is allowed.

                                As soon as the game was over Burrow could hire an agent, sign a contract to advertise or take money from anyone he wanted. As he said he ceased to be a scholarship athlete.

                                      OBJ always putting “I” ahead of “us”

                                      How do you figure that with this move?  He gave  few bucks, maybe....or pieces of worthless paper,  to some kids.

                                        It was unnecessary.  In the history of college football championship celebrations this was the first time someone handed out cash to the players postgame in front of a TV crew for all the world to see.  

                                        I’m guessing this was premeditated.  So he contemplated doing this before the moment struck and thought it was a good idea.

                                        As his Alma Mater is celebrating one of the biggest wins in their history, OBJ has to get in front of the TV and make a himself part of the narrative.

                                          Instead of LSU enjoying this time now they are going be be in full blown CYA mode. People are going to question if this was the first time it happened. They will question if players with no eligibility are getting money behind closed doors. The film breakdown, no doubt, has already begun.
