Hate it, but is is okay to say “Beat Baker”?

With such a crazy off-season for the Browns, the thing the franchise was invented for has finally arrived: playing games that count.

Now fans can concentrate on the game of football instead of depositions, grand juries, settlements, civil suits, hearings, former judges and prosecutors, and other wild rumors (which, some of them were true).

On to Charlotte, North Carolina and their marvelous stadium to play the Panthers.

To start things off, it is the opening game for both clubs. As an aside, and probably the most logical issue about this game, is that the starting quarterback for Carolina will be none other than the Browns’ former quarterback Baker Mayfield.
