One of these days, at least in the fevered dreams of every Cleveland Browns fan, Baker Mayfield stands on a podium. Confetti rains around him. As the commissioner hands him a shiny silver trophy in exchange for a half-century’s worth of civic shame and sorrow, a flood of emotions release. Women scream. Men faint. Jim Brown weeps.
Baker Mayfield smiles.
“Sam Ehlinger still hasn’t beaten Lake Travis,” he says, and the party goes pffffft.
Before it comes to that, let’s hope Mayfield and Ehlinger and Kyler Murray come to some sort of detente. The public feuds of these talented, high-spirited quarterbacks fuel the Texas-OU rivalry, the inventory for the state’s greatest annual sporting event.
