Mayfield comment on the Browns game

[Mr. Scot]

How much actual effect this sort of thing would have on the game? Unknown.

What Mayfield has done though is create a narrative and a context of sorts. Every reporter and analyst that talks about this game right up till it actually happens is likely to mention these comments and frame the game around them.

BREAKING NEWS!  Baker Mayfield wants to beat the team that replaced him really bad!  More to come later....  I mean it really makes for some lame news stories right?

In the 24 hour news cycle / social media world, yeah.

FYI: He'll apparently have a chance to talk about it today...if he's so inclined.

Don't know that I'd refer to it as a "situation" but ya know...

Garrett is a good dude. He fuging writes poetry, he's not going to maliciously try to do anything to Baker because some sideline reporter played a game of telephone with herself 

lol, but I would think Baker is actually cool w/ 95% of the Browns players. 

the couple players that don't know him might try to use the comments as fuel.  Rest of the team just knows it is Baker being Baker.

If you need an opponent's words to fire you up, something is wrong. Were they only going to go at 90% until Baker said that? We're in trouble now, they're going to turn it up to 11!

Sounds like the exchange went something this:

Frelund: "Good luck opening against the Browns, Baker! I hope you f*ck them up!"

Baker: "Haha, me too! I'm planning on it!" 

Frelund: "Breaking: Baker Mayfield says of his game vs. the Browns, "I'm going to f*ck them up."

 

[Mr. Scot]

Mayfield now saying he didn't say it...

She already walked it back on air on ESPN. This isn’t a story to anybody but the media.

Only a few people on here were actually bothered by it.

That said, I'm gonna call bullsh-t on Baker here.

I don't doubt for a second that he said it, but he probably figured it wouldn't go anywhere.

The denial is most likely damage control, and possibly requested by the team.

Sounds like she said I hope you F them up and he said me too. Why would she go back on it? She already lost baker and the other players as a trusted media person
