Twitter accused Baker Mayfield of being a gaming addict

There was a dude in my fraternity in college who we all liked, and one semester he just kinda disappeared except for a few of the bigger events we had 2-3 times. Never saw the guy anymore but towards the end of the year he told all Of us he was really focusing on school and his grades. All good. 
nope - turns out he was addicted to playing world of Warcraft and that’s all he was doing. He flunked out the next semester and I never saw him again. He could be dead now for all I know. Gaming addiction is legit.

Yeah, WoW was a problem for a lot of people I knew. Never really heard of people being addicted to Halo though.

We thought the guy was just getting serious about school. Which was fine. He wasn’t a jerk or anything. He flunked out Spring semester and was never seen again after having to move back home to whatever shithole small country NC town he was from. 
 

I like video games and enjoy playing, hopefully I will have a new system soon but I never got into WoW but know it’s one of the games that grabs people like heroin. I don’t know if it’s still around. 
 which I guess it’s easy to see why a kid in college in the early to mid 2000s could become addicted to it - endless amount of free time, no real responsibilities, and super fast free dorm room internet.

That halo 1 multiplayer on the original Xbox was legit. I recall going to friends houses in college and having one of those LAN games with two teams set up in different rooms. A lot has changed since those early days but no doubt that Halo 1 multiplayer (the solo campaigns too) is one of the most influential games of all time.

That just shows Baker doesn’t care about winning. 
 

We have a lot of guys like that on the team. He should fit right in.

These leaks from the Browns are def a smear campaign on his way out the door. He must have really pissed off some people In that organization.

Yeah, I remember seeing guys fish network cables down to other dorm rooms for this.

The campaign co-op was great. Spent too much time doing that with roommates back in 2003.

I don’t even know what number Halo is out but for the resident gamers is the new halo that great of a game? 
 

Halo 1; COD Mw2; and Goldeneye 007 are the three GOAT multiplayer games 


I got it around Christmas. Brought back a lot of memories for sure.

The campaign was very well done IMO.

Multi took time to get used to since I hadn’t played much halo since college, but it’s as good as I remember halo 2 being.

    • It’s not just the height. Bryce is literally petite. You’d be worried about bumping into him in the line at the grocery store. https://x.com/formerlyfiz/status/1837934913175146959?s=46&t=JBd6ZXmGQ3LmWL-ineTnAA and Bryce is not drew brees. That’s one player, stop referencing. Bryce is much closer to the countless productive college qbs who don’t have the skill set to succeed in the nfl. it’s just harder to make that comparison because you don’t remember those people because they’re forgettable.  Bryce is the exact same, except he had a marketing team behind him, he went to bama, and the panthers gave up a fortune for him and some people can’t accept that. 
    • I've finally done my deep dive on Cam Ward since some Huddlers keep harping on the fact that there's no QB worth taking at the top of the draft (blah blah blah). I get it, but...will that ultimately be true? Cam Ward's draft stock is undoubtedly on the rise. It just makes sense due to his gradual improvement over his career, and especially due to his play this season. He has not been afraid to move on for better opportunities from Incarnate Word to Wazzu to the U, and all he has done is sieze those opportunities.  Ward's biggest knock coming into this season was ball security and decision making. Those are two pretty big things, but he has shown growth, and he and his shaky O-line will undoubtedly be tested against the Blue Devils' front. I will say that if Ward continues to show well for the remainder of the season, including in the playoffs against top competition, his stock will climb even higher, giving credence and outright llegitimacy to his campaign to not only be QB1, but pick number one (or two, three, four, or five). At this point, more than just a few scouts consider him QB1 anyway, and with good cause as his traits are just superior to Shedeur Sanders' and every other QB's in this class. His potential and opportunity will give him an easier path to top five or 10 legitimacy as well (as opposed to just being a default higher pick due to being a QB).  So, Ward has the elite traits. Can he put them all together by the end of the season (much like Stroud peaked at the right time a couple of seasons ago)? From my perspective, the Panthers and every other franchise-QB needy team will be in a predicament certainly if Ward does show well for the remainder of the season, and maybe even if he doesn't. If you skip him and he ultimately keeps improving and meets the high potential that many experts believe that he has (including Mel Kiper who has Ward [and Sanders] outside his top 10), then you'll look like a fool yet again. My thing is, are we really in a position to be skipping a guy with that kind of upside, just because he missed top 10 on some scout's---and especially some talking head's big board by a dozen spots (let's say)? Does playing the draft game justify moving down and missing out on an answer that you've needed for the better part of a decade? Perhaps we will see, but we had better be right if we skip him.  Now, again, if Ward continues to ascend, I believe that we should pick him provided that we have the opportunity. There's just no other QB that has that talent, upside and traits in this draft in my mind. Mind you, I didn't say that no other QB would ultimately succeed, because it's all a crapshoot, but Ward has looked damned good so far this season, and he deserves his accolades as one of the best in the country, irrespective of position (and that includes the Travis Hunters, Tetairoa McMillans and Ashton Jeantys of the world). 
    • I mean, if we had drafted him he probably would be struggling here...but not like Bryce. Stroud has been outside the top 10 this season, and looked downright ordinary the other night, but that may be attributed to shaky protection and a loss of weapons.
