00:00Deshaun Watson decided to go after his own fans over the weekend after being booed in the preseason home opener
00:08in Cleveland.
00:10Today, he was named the starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns.
00:16This shouldn't be a surprise.
00:19Deshaun Watson is right now uncuttable.
00:24So, Deshaun Watson, if the Browns were to cut him, his cap hit for 2027 would be $86 million.
00:34The highest cap ever hit, ever taken down, was the Dolphins with Tua when they took a $54 million hit.
00:43This is one and a half or more, 1.6, whatever, times bigger than that if they were to cut
00:51Deshaun Watson.
00:52But it feels like Deshaun Watson's doing everything in his power to get cut.
00:57Because after the game, he was asked about being booed by the fans.
01:03And he said, quote, it has nothing to do with the performance.
01:07He's been an awful quarterback, by the way.
01:10It's a little bit more personal than that.
01:12Oh, I wonder what the personal thing is, Deshaun.
01:15It's a disrespectful thing.
01:18Last time I played on this field, I tore my Achilles.
01:22And that same fan base cheered when I got hurt.
01:27So, he's trying to make it out that the Browns fans, that somehow Cleveland fans, are to blame.
01:34That Cleveland fans, this is a Cleveland problem.
01:38You know, these are mean fans.
01:40This man was accused by dozens of women of doing horrific things.
01:48This man was traded from Houston to Cleveland and then given a contract extension in what is now the worst
01:58trade in the history of the NFL.
02:02What the compensation was that Houston got, what the contract the Browns handed over to Deshaun Watson, and the fans
02:14cheering when you got hurt was a reflection of you, Watson.
02:20Not the fans.
02:22Not the Browns.
02:23I find it very hard to feel bad about the fans deciding that they hate Deshaun Watson.
02:34Now, the first two games for Cleveland are on the road.
02:39They go at the Jags and at the Bucs.
02:43How these two games go will dictate a lot as to what the environment's going to be when Deshaun Watson
02:53is the quarterback, if he's healthy, for the Browns, when they have the home opener in week number three.
02:59If they're 2-0, and look, going 2-Jacksonville and 2-Tampa and coming away with wins in Florida during
03:07the month of September would be amazing.
03:11It would be amazing if they were to go 2-0.
03:14It's highly unlikely.
03:16It's far more likely that Cleveland winds up 2-0.
03:19Sorry, 0-2 than 2-0.
03:22And so they will be 0-2 when they come back home for the home opener with Deshaun Watson as
03:30the starting quarterback when they face the Panthers.
03:34Here's the problem, and I do kind of agree with this.
03:38JPC says Deshaun's a donkey, but I do like that he's gone full heel.
03:41I think there is something to be said about this because take the WWE mentality to this.
03:50This guy is never going to be liked.
03:55Somehow he convinced a woman to marry him.
03:57Somehow this guy, he has more money.
04:01He's making over $40 million a year guaranteed.
04:05I mean, he doesn't have to apologize to anyone.
04:09He is a free man.
04:10He did not go to jail for what he did.
04:13He was suspended for 11 games by the NFL for what he did,
04:18but he didn't go to jail for what he did.
04:21It was a civil matter that he had to write big checks,
04:24but when you're making $45 million a year, you can afford it.
04:28You can afford to pay out what you have to pay out for being a disgusting human being.
04:35So why not embrace it?
04:37Like, I think there's something to that.
04:39Like, just own it.
04:40Like, just own the fact that you're the starting quarterback.
04:45The Browns have no way out of your contract.
04:48They cannot cut you.
04:51Nobody's trading for you.
04:53So you're the starting quarterback of an NFL football team.
04:57There are 32 jobs in the world that let you start for a team in the NFL,
05:03and you have one of them.
05:06Just go play.
05:07I mean, if I'm Deshaun Watson, I'm just like, bring it.
05:10Like, okay, bring it.
05:11I'm not sure I say what he said over the weekend.
05:16I'm not sure if I call out the fact that they booed him,
05:19that Sam fan base cheered when I got hurt.
05:22I'm not so sure I would have done this.
05:25Like, this is a little bit on the inflammatory side.
05:30But again, if you want to go full heel, go full heel.
05:33Call out everything.
05:34Our franchise sucks.
05:36Our team's been awful.
05:38I am the best thing that happened to this franchise.
05:40You all know it.
05:41When you traded for me, you were celebrating.
05:43The owner went out of his way to be there at the press conference
05:47to go ahead and put a flag down and say,
05:49I am hiring this man.
05:51I'm giving him a ton of money
05:54because I believe that Deshaun Watson's talents
05:56are going to take Cleveland to the promised land.
