Clearly, that is the first time Cowherd has smoked a cigar.

And didn't even crack a smile

Oh man. Dude craps me up!

That was frickin' awesome.

It's no secret that Cleveland some the worst sports beat writers in the Country , it's embarrassing !

I don't believe that's true. There's a Mary Kay and a Tony Grossi in almost every market. We just don't hear much about it because we follow Cleveland sports.

When I watch other locals, they sound just as awful as CLE area folks.

Suckitude is everywhere.

But I do agree- they are an embarrassment, for sure.

It is what it is

It was a Barbara Walters question. Waiting now for Mary Kay to ask Baker what kind of tree he would be if he were a tree. He'd say "The kind that falls on you.".

Laughed.

If only more players responded like Baker did. To many of them take the bait.

Eve's right, spot on! The lazy writers who want to pile on and whose "stories" cherry pick the oldest stats and presents them endlessly have lost their gravy train. This isn't reporting on an event or an individual; it is about belittling, insulting, and slanting the past for another clever blast on the Browns. It is the story they want to write and stated in the snarky way they find clever. And it is a dog pile.

I think he has shut them up as his season and wins have improved. Some have gotten to being at least fair-ish. But for too long a mob of writers were encouraged to "find: stats that are outrageous. Not a battle per se required of BM, but I hope he wins and gets better than we have suffered in the past.
