Controversy is going to follow Spanky Doodle Dandy.
I recommend Spanky Doodle hire a good media consultant who could coach Watson up so the he can be a Master Debater.
It is cool that the NFL was willing to compromise but not compromise too much. Sometimes a guy needs a handup and not a handout even if the guy thinks he really needs a handjob. [Reply]
Good Lord :-) Already deleted but Watson's agent tweeted this out.
To be clear, Judge Robinson repeated the NFL’s narrative. She received a brief from the NFL weeks before we had the opportunity to talk to her. In our 1st call with the Judge she referred to “Deshaun’s pattern of behavior”. Her mind was made up before we ever presented a counter. [Reply]
Still the greatest trade in Browns history in the last four decades. They haven't had a QB for everrrr. Lol Vinny Testaverde is their best QB in my life time. Please sit back- reflect- and let that sink in. [Reply]

He was pretty good when he got older. Late bloomer. [Reply]
As the 49ers prepare for their second preseason game, Jimmy Garoppolo remains on the roster.
San Francisco reportedly is holding out to find a trade suitor for the veteran quarterback before Aug. 30, the final roster cut-down day when teams trim down to 53 players.
NFL analyst Chris Simms believes one of Garoppolo's off-the-field flaws could be contributing to the lack of trade interest.
He goes off the radar there all the time," Simms said Monday on "Pro Football Talk" with Mike Florio.
"I’m not going to name the player, but I was at an event and the player who is a long-standing player with the 49ers is like, ‘I can’t get the quarterback to call me back. I’ve called him every day for a month.’
"You hear it from everybody. I’ve heard it from ex-coaches who have moved on. It’s weird. The organization has reached out to him at times and explained things to him, and they can’t get ahold of him. To the point where they have had to drive to his house and knock on the door and be like, ‘Hello? Are you alive? Are you there?’ "
That long history of being elusive in the offseason might be coming back to bite Garoppolo and the 49ers.
"I think there’s more than just the play on the field at hand here," Simms continued. "I think a lot of the NFL knows these stories a little bit, and I think that’s why we’ve had some teams kind of drag their feet and not sure if they want to go all in on the Jimmy Garoppolo trade."
Simms' stories of the quarterback are consistent with what Mike Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle reported last week, in what he dubbed the "Jimmy Garoppolo vanishing act."
Per Silver, the 49ers didn't hear from Garoppolo "for weeks and weeks" after he signed a five-year contract worth 7.5 million before the 2018 NFL season.

The biggest reason other organizations aren't jumping at the opportunity for Garoppolo likely is that teams are waiting for the 49ers to release him in a couple of weeks.
But as Simms points out, there could be other looming factors as well.
This is funny to me and kind of makes me wonder how much access an organization should have to a player under contract.
I read reports that he would be basically impossible to contact in the offseason.
On the one hand, they're paying you $25m per year. I feel like you should return a phone call here and there.
On the other, if it's the offseason, wtf does the coach, GM, etc. have to say to me? If it's the middle of May, I'd have to imagine Jimmy G is traveling the world and banging porn stars. [Reply]
When the Browns played the Jags in the preseason, Jags fans were not chanting "no means no". They were chanting "YOU SICK FUCK". Here is the youtube link that proves it. It's well worth a watch:

They still fucking don't have a QB.
A fifth year QB who has never led a team to a top 10 finish in yards or points, who basically is missing 2 whole offseasons and 1 and 3/4 of a year - oh, who, by the fucking way, had a complete MELTDOWN in his last game as a Texan where we literally destroyed their entire franchise...and you think he's the ANSWER for the Browns?
Dude will be a rapey DeShaun Kizer 2.0 when he comes back, all fat and out of shape and inaccurate as fuck.
