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.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
