Why is Andrew Berry’s name never associated with the debacle that is the Browns?
More of this, less Kendrick Perkins
1st 30 secs of this video is crazy idk what kinda comparisons you're tryna make but you missed it
We werent even desperate…we had won a playoff game and the worthless owner made the worst decision in NFL history.
Its funny how the Browns are ridiculed, when a number of teams were bidding for Watson at the time. Those teams were offering similar money, Cleveland was the higher bidder. So….yeah it didnt work out but they had to make an aggressive move.
He is 1000% guilty of all those accusations
He was hurt last year this season isn’t over
But they weren’t desperate. They had baker & luckily Flacco fell In their laps. They’re not desperate just plain old dumb.
Well nobody to blame but themselves. Sometimes a team thats "a QB away" is desperate to win now and makes an oopsie. But id rather be the like 9ers and waste some picks i dont really need than be the browns. Watson aint going nowhere lol
They need to figure out a way to trade him
PUT SOME RESPECK ON THE SCHAAP NAME!
every browns fan pissed….Deshaun could care LESS eat your brownie you MADE IT lmao
This is brilliantly put together, the script the delivery the way they chose to tell the story, the whole crew nailed this segment
Being in Cleveland, I remember when the Browns traded for him BEFORE knowing his suspension….and I could not believe it. Well, in a way, I could, because its the Browns lol then seeing what we gave up…Unreal.
2nd worst sports trade of all time after the one for Britney Griner
I believe part of the problem is the owner of the Cleveland browns was ignorant and unintelligent enough to actually believe the garbage propaganda that ESPN and the rest of the sports establishment was putting out about DeShaun Watson. As if he was going to be some savior to take them to multiple super bowls. They traded away their entire future for what arguably has to be the biggest sexual predator in the entire professional sports establishment.
This along with a litany of other reasons is pure proof of why the federal government should stop all financial support and underwriting of anything associated with professional sports particularly the NFL.
Let's see how many 3 billion stadiums get built when they're not stealing the money from taxpayers.
What an "interesting" way to start the segment lol
Now I understand why the name Browns – all the brown bags the fans wear.
Baker Mayfield!!!
They're called the Baltimore Ravens now.
In before someone claims this is because he's black and is a racist opinion!
And Baker BALLIN
That roster is to blame for Cleveland……. For deshaun ….. The women that falsely accuse him of allegations
As a Steeler fan that’s the greatest trade ever in sports ! F the brownies 😂
Jeremy really starting to look like his dad
It was the fool's dream that the Browns were a championship team that needed only the "right" quarterback. You can't shovel away that many draft picks and not feel it.
Makes the broncos deal for russell wilson look genius. Lol
Now two words are truer, Browns desperation
To add insult to injury, Cleveland traded the 12th pick to Houston in 2017, which Houston used to draft D. Watson! I don’t remember what the QB situation was in Cleveland in 2017, but essentially they could have drafted Watson. Crazy stuff!
I guess people were waiting for Houston Watson to show up, & it just hasn't happened. Next draft pick will certainly be a QB.
sick boomer references
