Cleveland Browns: Colin Cowherd hilariously called out for awful Baker Mayfield takes
By Randy Gurzi
Colin Cowherd continues his awful takes on Baker Mayfield, and now the sports pundit was called out for hating on the Cleveland Browns quarterback
No one has become a bigger villain this season in the eyes of Cleveland Browns fans than Colin Cowherd. The FS1 pundit has made it his life goal to prove that Baker Mayfield was a bad choice as the No. 1 overall selection.
And Cowherd is so sure he’s correct that he won’t let little things like great play, strong leadership, and multiple rookie awards sway his thinking. No, those kinds of facts fly in the face of his opinion and nothing will change that.
Not even Mayfield coming on his show and letting Cowherd know that he was wrong about some of his attempted hot takes changed his perception.

Cowherd continues to act like Mayfield won’t make it in the NFL and people are getting tired of it. That became apparent when comedian Bill Burr went on his show and completely laid into the biased talking head.
The best part of the exchange was transposed on USA Today, For The Win by Andrew Joseph, and it was great:
"Burr: And you’re Gym class Jerry over here, arguing with the guy like you got drafted too. It was ridiculous. And by the way, how great is it to see excited Cleveland Browns fans?Cowherd: It’s great!Burr: It is great. Well, stop being The Grinch! Just give it up and say the guy’s doing the job.Cowherd: You want me to be a soft — one of those Twitter tough guys? When a guy comes here and sits on the couch, I go right after him. You respect me for that?Burr: No, I don’t. You and your big, dumb desk, hiding behind your microphone."
Burr is a standup comedian, who also has appeared in several movies and television shows. He’s also now going to be a celebrity in Cleveland as he spoke what was on every Browns’ fans mind.
He was absolutely right that Cowherd has been ridiculous in how he’s discussed Mayfield. Since the day he was drafted by Cleveland, Cowherd decided to champion the opinion that Mayfield couldn’t make it as a pro and keeps being proven wrong. Maybe now that outsiders are telling him to knock it off, he may move on.
dark. Next. Studs and duds in Week 14 win
Then again, his hate for Mayfield and love for bad takes are both pretty deep, so this probably is still just the beginning.
