Is he insane or is something else going on? Does he want to quit? Is he worried he completely overplayed his hand and will now fail in Oakland?

Lost the helmet battle. Says he's coming going to play.

Jay Z is cheating on Kap with the NFL.

People are maaaaaaddddd. Ha! Tough shit. Welcome to reality.

More legal trouble for AB.

What a fucking tool.

For someone so concerned with his brand, he sure is really bad at maintaining it.

Skins mishandled Colt McCoy's broken leg.

That injury from December was a broken leg, suffered against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13 of last season. If eight-plus months seems like an especially long time for a non-catastrophic broken leg to heal, you should know that McCoy’s recovery did not proceed along a normal timeline. As Gruden explained to JP Finlay of NBC Sports Washington back in April, McCoy required additional procedures during the offseason because the team pushed too aggressively to get him back last season:

McCoy, Trent Williams, Derrius Guice, and Su'a Cravens... sigh.

The talking heads were praising Haskins outing last night. Kid's got a lot of potential, but they need to bring him along slowly.

I hear WR Terry McLaurin from OSU is absolutely blowing the Skins coaching staff away. They think he's genuinely the team's best WR already.

Hopefully he doesnt die behind our makeshift O line.

Literally the lowest WR bar in the NFL, to be fair

That is some bullahit

Eages losing QBs like the Skins did last year, pick up McCown.

Raiders GM gives AB an ultimatum.

At this point I wonder if he’s trying to find an excuse to quit football and make it look like he doesn’t want to quit. Like he’s the new Kap but without the social issue.

Baker Mayfield publicly blasts Giants for drafting Jones.

I like Baker the quarterback (more for his attitude than his skills), but I still hate him as the OU QB.

Interesting take by OBjr there too. He might not be wrong.

That AB-Chef lawsuit started because of a fish head, and AB apparently being an absolute moron.

Garoppolo was really, really bad last night.

At least the Australians keep giving us NFL preseason highlights

Really?? i'd say the opposite is true by most non Browns fans. I think his skills are undeniable, but his attitude and his mouth turns off most people.

I guess he said this way back in May, just after the draft when EVERYBODY was saying exactly the same thing! But i wish Baker would be a little more tactful with his words. He did say from day one that he wasn't going to be a cookie cutter QB and he's a straight shooter. Well, he's surly lived up to that thus far and it's kinda what makes him tick.

All of this will mean nothing if he wins, but if he doesn't it just give guys like Colin Cowherd even more material to pile on.

I'm siding with Stranger here. Keep it in your mouth.

Yeah, for some reason it really hasn't rubbed me the wrong way yet. He's said and done some dumb shit, but his teammates are latching onto it in positive ways, which I like.

The one thing I didn't like was him attacking what's his face...the old coach. He might have been 100% correct in his criticism, but doing that stuff publicly is bad form.

However, you're right, if he doesn't produce on the field, his mouth will become a huge liability.

Mayfield reaches out to Jones, “clarifies” what he meant

The Luck news is pretty sad. Dude's press conference was tough to watch. He clearly loves the game, but he isn't healing and can't keep going.
