Jackson unnecessarily inserted himself into the Brian Flores lawsuit a couple of months ago, only to retract his statements right after. Still, the damage was done as he claimed he was paid to lose games.

Now, the NFL is reportedly investigating the Browns, to see if they were indeed dishonoring the integrity of the game.

Jackson has a knack for saying the wrong thing — and has even been caught saying things that weren’t 100 percent true. This is probably a case of that — as the 2016 and 2017 teams were trying to win, they just weren’t very good. Still, the league is doing its due diligence as they look into what transpired in Berea during the ugly 1-31 stretch under ‘He Hue must not be named’.
