Does anyone feel sorry for the Cleveland Browns?

I see the win loss record at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Cleveland_Browns_seasons

Yeah, lot's of time spent crying in your beer.
2015 3 wins, 13 losses,
2016 1 win, 15 losses,
2017 0 wins 16 losses.

Then they draft Baker Mayfield.
Better, then better, then in
2020 11 wins, 5 losses, and for the
first time in 18 years they are in the playoffs!!

Then rather than love the one that helped them win,
they go off sniffing the tall weeds, and sticky stuff.

They sign what looks like the next best thing,
Deshaun Watson to a "fully guaranteed 5 year $230 million
contract.

Perhaps there are exceptions that can get them out of
that $230,000,000.

hmmm, even if "no crime", gonna take a LOT OF LIPSTICK
to pretty up this pig.

New York Times finds that Deshaun Watson met with at least 66 women for
massages in 17 months
Posted by Mike Florio on June 7, 2022, 5:10 PM EDT

The 24th lawsuit against Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson contends that
Watson has sought out “random strangers on Instagram” for massages “more
than a hundred times.” The New York Times has nailed down roughly two
thirds of them.

A new article from Jenny Vrentas of the Times reports that Watson met
with at least 66 women for massages in a 17-month period. And the key
words are “at least.” After Watson’s lawy----

PFT asked Hardin’s office whether it would respond to the broader
allegation that Watson arranged “more than a hundred” massages with
“random strangers on Instagram.” Hardin’s office has not yet provided a
definitive answer.

Vrentas writes that it’s not clear when Watson began looking for so many
different women to provide massages. She points out that Hardin at one
point blamed the practice on the pandemic. However, she reports that
Watson began working with “numerous women” before then.

“I specifically had to say, ‘No, I can’t do that,'” she said. “And
that’s when I went into asking him, ‘What is it like being famous? Like,
what’s going on? You’re about to mess up everything.’”

Everything really is messed up. And it all traces to his habit or fetish
or compulsion or whatever to have so many different women provide him
with massages, apparently or allegedly with the door open for something
else. On Friday, Hardin tried to normalize receiving or seeking “happy
endings” during a massage because for Watson, it apparently became all
too normal.

Really "Messed up"!!

In a league that still has Dan Snyder, Jimmy Haslam of the Cleveland
Browns may be the worst owner in the league
by Chad Porto6 days ago Follow @ChadNerdCorp

It’s fair to say the Cleveland Browns’ Jimmy Haslam is a worse owner
than Dan Synder.

Think about how bad Dan Snyder is. The dude can’t even keep his stadium
together in one piece, and opposing fans are getting hurt falling all
over each other. The man has a laundry list of lawsuits and accusations
against him, and his team is just pathetically bad. Let’s not even talk
about how Washington threw away Robert Griffin’s career and thought they
could do better than Kirk Cousins. And in spite of all that, Jimmy
Haslam is worse.

It takes a truly inept owner to tank his team’s goodwill just 18 months
after going to the playoffs and beating the Stealers. That’s exactly
what Halsam did in 2022. his decision to trade for Deshaun Watson was
horrid when it happened. Now though? With all the new information coming
out about Watson, from the NDA’s to the payments to people who provided
him “protection”, the apologizes for making women cry during massage
appointments and all the rest that we know and don’t know it’s hard to
say that it isn’t the worst trade in the history of football.

Ok, so bad people exist in sports. We get that. Watson is acting like
he’s the victim when it’s beyond obvious he’s got issues, issues he
doesn’t think he has, but he’s on Revis Island if he actually thinks
that. To which I mean, he’s alone.

Deshaun Watson will forever be Jimmy Haslam’s legacy
So Watson is going full victim complex right now. That’s expected, the
man clearly has issues, who’s to say he doesn’t have something like
narcissism? Would explain his behavior. So Watson’s behavior toward
these women is bad.

It’s really bad, yet Haslam made the trade. Ok, just bringing him in is
bad enough. Then he traded three first-round picks and an additional
three picks to get him. That’s a big haul for a player who needs
constant supervision. Sure glad the Browns got their “adult” at quarterback.

That’d be bad enough, then they gave him $230+ million in guaranteed money.

A man with 24, and counting, lawsuits centering around his sexual
misconduct allegations (and worse), who had at least 66 massage
therapists in the span of 18 months and fails to see that he may have a
problem. Or that he is the problem.

Haslam is that guy who sunk his team to get his guy and while he may
have that shiny new toy he’s always coveted, all it’s doing is ruining
his team’s perception and the reputation of every player, coach, and
support staffer who’s still on the team.

The Browns will never be able to recover from this as long as Haslam and
this regime are intact. They are, fair or not, forever tainted by this
scandal.
