Watson deserves a lifetime ban from the sport, but the Browns knowingly signed a serial abuser with 20+ accusations. If they somehow get to void his contract and get it off their books, that would be total bullshit.

I'd be amazed if there isn't specific language in his contract outlining what happens in this situation.
It looks like WR Corley is active for the Jets which seems weird. I thought it would have been another Dline guy. Maybe some kickoff shenanigans?
edit: also McGregor (UDFA guy from Michigan) is playing.

These allegations concern conduct that predates the trade though right? Not sure how that could be addressed in the contract. It's not new behavior. It's also not really all that different from the other allegations, which both parties were obviously quite aware of at the time of the contract. He might finally be held accountable legally, but Cleveland will likely continue to pay him.
Every broadcast def got the memo to push the dynamic kick off like Matt Bevilaqua pushing Webistix for Tony Soprano.
I enjoy that BB is wearing a USS Carl M. Levine shirt. Tenacious in the fight is apropos for football too.
He does know the game in Michigan was Sunday Night Football though, right?

I'd watch Peyton and BB all fucking day do a Super Bowl. THIS is the coverage I need in the NFL.
I get it has to be basic vanilla shit for the majority of idiot consumers but man.

Rodgers is still very jittery and scared of what's going on around his feet. Everything is a fade away, even with a good pocket.
We live and we die by time, and we must not commit the sin of turning our back on time.
I'm sorry, Wilson. Wilson, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

He did the same with Adams for years, just like Stafford, pick a guy, give him 150 targets
It was so much fun last year watching Peyton get so frustrated with poor offensive play. I think we are getting that with Bill watching bad D. He is apopletic that they are not doubling Wilson.
Dunno if you’re watching the Manningcast, but Belichick was basically making fun of the whole sequence or, really, SF’s defense.
Fuck YEAH BB promoting C gap runs. That's my kind of language that more teams need to learn and how I think running of the future is going to evolve this decade. I am a huge sucker for outside zone to the C because teams tend not to load that way up front...we're still not there athletically in fronts although I think we will be in 10 years. It's the kind of thinking that dinosaur'd Tampa 2. Be ahead of it.
if things go well I will watch that rebroadcast. “Well” doesn’t even have to be a win, just not another calamity.
I like Manningcast when I don’t have a strong rooting interest, too much side chatter if I care
I buy that. tl;de he just started repeating “Wilson… Wilson… Wilson…” and the Mannings joked about it and Bill was like, Well, just look at it” sorta thing. Made for a fun comp to the discussion of disguises or not disguises not long before.
Tyron Smith not quite showing the peaks of his Cowboys days there. That was weak getting into stance, really ploddingly slow post-snap. Then he bent around really weakly and at a low, desperate angle in recovery. Brutal.
It seems like there’s an audio delay between them. They keep talking over each other. Seems like something they should be able to figure out.
They appear to be teaching Belichick about not letting there be too much dead air; BB would be fine letting things develop and breathe—as would I—but the broadcasts don’t want it. It looks to me that someone’s in Bill’s ear getting him to say more and Peyton is having to jump in to fi air less and less. (and note that Eli is pulling back to allow it.)
In game adjustments!!
What is this announcer talking about? They should... not call the penalty because you think the guy being held can't tackle well enough?
Wow. I muttered to myself how do you miss that backward pass.
Then boom nyc
These refs kinda strugglin
