The Carolina Panthers quarterback reportedly said he would "f*** them up," referring to the Cleveland Browns. Nolen Lake@njlakeImagine being more outraged at Baker Mayfield than Deshaun Watson 1478108Imagine being more outraged at Baker Mayfield than Deshaun Watson Several Browns players responded, and media members weren't all that thrilled with Mayfield's choice of language. Colin Cowherd, however, doesn't believe there should be any issues. Cowherd said on his podcast: "Well, I'm sure he said it. Who cares? He didn't say it publicly. He didn't say it at a podium. Stuff is said all the time. Yeah, I know everybody on social media is perfect and never swears. This is how pro athletes talk." Cowherd went on to say that competitors often say things about their opponents, and no one ever cares: "You know, we saw Tom Brady's cell phone. He was dogging Peyton Manning. They're still friends. Athletes are competitive, Baker's competitive. This is how athletes talk all the time. If something gets out. That doesn't bother me. That's called reporting."

Who cares? Have you ever been in a locker room? This is how athletes talk. Doesn't bother me at all." He went on to say that the quarterback should be ready to destroy his former team: "The truth is, if he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder against the Browns, who's he going to have it on his shoulder against? My problem with Baker was never his chutzpah. It's that sometimes you got to fall on the sword or keep things to yourself. This got out. But he didn't say it at a podium. I got no problem with it." Mayfield and the Panthers face the Browns on September 11.

Chicago Bears v Cleveland Browns The Panthers, more or less, will be operating at full strength. While they're not one of the top teams in the league, they are a competent roster when fully healthy. Vegas seems to believe that their lack of missing players combined with the Browns' lack of a starting quarterback means they're going to win.

However, the Panthers are obviously not favored by much. If you use any of the quotes above, please credit Colin Cowherd and H/T Sportskeeda.
