Myles Garrett and Odell Beckham Jr. have been through their fair share of turmoil over this past year, especially when it comes to the sport of football. These two are teammates on the Cleveland Browns and they both had to endure a pretty lackluster season with the squad. Garrett had himself an insane incident after he swung a helmet like a weapon at Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Meanwhile. Beckham Jr. was charged with assault after slapping a security guard on the butt after LSU won the National Championship.
Today on Twitter, Garrett shared a video of Dennis Rodman and Karl Malone slapping each other on the butt as a way to troll OBJ. In the caption, he wrote: "How @obj thought spanking the cop was gonna go."
Beckham Jr. had to make sure he had a response so he came back at Garrett with a hilarious reference to his fight with Rudolph. "Wait a min!!!! That wasn’t even the worst part .... the worst part was I got charged wit assault..... and u somehow didn’t. only in America," he wrote.
Fans thought the interaction was pretty amusing especially since OBJ has a point. While his altercation was more humorous, Garrett's was much more violent. Regardless, these two now have something they can bond over.
Cleveland Browns Add Another Pro Bowl Offensive Weapon
Cleveland Browns agree to four-year deal with Pro Bowl tight end Austin Hooper, making him the league's highest paid TE.
The Cleveland Browns have reportedly reached a deal with former Atlanta Falcons tight end Austin Hooper, giving quarterback Baker Mayfield yet another weapon on the offensive side of the ball.
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Browns are prepared to make Hooper the highest paid tight end in the league as part of a four-year deal that includes $23M guaranteed over the first two seasons. All in, Hooper stands to make approximately $11M annually.

Hooper, 25, had a breakout season last year as he racked 75 catches for 787 receiving yards and six touchdowns - all of which were career highs - in 13 games. The Pro Bowl tight end will now join a Cleveland Browns offense that already includes Pro Bowl wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry, as well as star running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and fellow tight end David Njoku.
Despite the wealth of talent on offense, Baker Mayfield and the Browns struggled mightily last season, finishing the year with a 6-10 record. As a result, Cleveland owns the 10th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and all signs point to them using that selection on one of the highly touted offensive linemen in this year's class.
Browns QB Baker Mayfield Accused Of Cheating On Wife
Ohio woman alleges that she hooked up with Baker Mayfield in a parking lot one month after he got married.
Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is accused of cheating on his wife with a 20-year old Ohio woman, who claims she hooked up with the newly married man in the parking lot of a Cheesecake Factory. Kacie Dingess alleges that she first caught Mayfield’s attention when she sent him a Snapchat video from a preseason tailgate party back in August, a month after Baker and Emily Mayfield tied the knot.

During an interview with Cleveland radio show “Rover’s Morning Glory” earlier this month, Dingess described in detail how she and Mayfield exchanged photos online before ultimately arranging a meet up. She also showed the radio hosts nude photos that Baker allegedly sent her.
“He kept texting me, saying like, ‘Send me pictures’ and blah, blah, blah,” she claimed (H/T US Magazine). “We were texting for a while, and then he was like, ‘OK, come see me.’ So I got in my car and I drove all the way to Westlake, and it was like behind Cheesecake Factory in some weird development parking lot. And so he texted me when I was on my way there and he was like, ‘You have to leave your phone in the car.’”
Once inside Mayfield’s SUV, Dingess claims that the two hopped in the backseat and she performed oral sex on him.
“[When] I left, I was like, ‘Good doing business with you’ — like, joking around,” she recounted (H/T US Magazine). “And he was like, ‘Don’t say that!’ And I was like, ‘I’m just kidding.’ And then I lost my Juul in his car and we had to look for that for a few minutes. He was like, ‘OK, well, drive safe,’ and I was like, ‘OK, see ya.’”
So if this incident did actually occur, why is she coming forward now? She explained to the radio hosts that Mayfield blocked her on twitter, which led her to out him as a cheater.
ESPN Analyst Suspended For Calling Baker Mayfield A Midget
ESPN Cleveland analyst Tony Grossi caught calling Baker Mayfield a midget when he thought they were off the air.
ESPN Cleveland analyst Tony Grossi has been suspended indefinitely following comments he made about Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. During a discussion about the league's QBs, Grossi referred to Mayfield as a “fucking midget” when he thought he was off the air but a hot microphone picked up every word he said.
You can hear the slip up at the tail end of the video embedded below.
Grossi got under Mayfield's skin last October when he questioned the QB about one of the Browns' pointless drives in their loss to the New England Patriots. At the time, Mayfield lashed out, "That’s the dumbest question you could ask. What? Jesus, Tony.”
ESPN Cleveland issued the following statement regarding Grossi's comments on Tuesday.
“The term Tony used is a derogatory slur to describe Little People. Good Karma Brands will not tolerate derogatory language that demeans others or groups of people,” the company said Tuesday in a media release.
“We are addressing this matter with Tony directly, and while we normally do not comment on personnel matters, we do want to share that we have made the decision to immediately and indefinitely suspend Tony Grossi. In addition, we will pursue sensitivity and inclusion training for everyone on our content teams across our company,” Good Karma Brands stated.
For what it's worth, Mayfield is listed as 6'1.
Browns’ Greg Robinson Arrest Details: 157 lbs Of Weed Seized
Cleveland Browns lineman Greg Robinson facing 20 years in prison after he was caught with 157 pounds of marijuana.
Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Greg Robinson is reportedly facing up to 20 years in federal prison after a vehicle he was riding in was found to be transporting 157 pounds of marijuana.
According to reports, Robinson and two others, including fellow Auburn alum Jaquan Bray, were driving from Los Angeles to Louisiana in a rented SUV on Monday when they were stopped by a border patrol agent on Interstate 10 in West Texas. There, a drug-sniffing dog detected the scent of marijuana, 157 pounds worth of it, to be exact.

Upon a search of the vehicle, officers reportedly discovered several large duffel bags stuffed with vacuum-sealed bags of weed along with glass jars, packing equipment and $3,100 in cash.
The third passenger in the vehicle was described as an Uber driver who typically ran errands for Robinson in his family. The report states that Robinson had texted the driver to claim ownership of the weed but he refused, claiming he never would have agreed to take the trip if he was aware of the cargo. That person was not charged, but both Robinson and Bray were charged with possessing marijuana with intent to sell. They face up to 20 years if convicted.
Robinson, 27, was selected by the then-St. Louis Rams second overall out of Auburn in the 2014 NFL Draft, but he only lasted two seasons before being dealt to the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round pick. He later signed with Cleveland in 2018 and the team resigned him again last year as he started in 14 games.
Browns’ Lineman Arrested With "A Lot" Of Weed At Mexico Border

Cleveland Browns offensive tackle Greg Robinson was reportedly caught with "A LOT" of marijuana at the Sierra Blanca border checkpoint near the U.S., Mexico border on Monday. According to TMZ Sports, Robinson is still in police custody and is facing a federal charge of possession with intent to distribute, although it has not yet been revealed just how much bud he had on him.

Robinson, 27, was selected by the then-St. Louis Rams second overall out of Auburn in the 2014 NFL Draft, but he only lasted two seasons before being dealt to the Detroit Lions for a sixth-round pick. He later signed with Cleveland in 2018 and the team resigned him again last year as he started in 14 games.
Robinson is set to become an unrestricted free agent when the NFL's free agency period opens next month, but he obviously has a much bigger issue on his plate at the moment.
The Browns were one of the most disappointing teams in the 2019-20 season, as they wrapped up the year with a record of 6-10. As a result, they will have the 10th overall selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The team has not yet issued a statement regarding Robinson's arrest.
Mike Tomlin Goes Off On Myles Garrett Over Mason Rudolph Allegations
Mike Tomlin is adamant that his quarterback did nothing wrong.
Myles Garrett and Mason Rudolph got into a pretty nasty altercation during a regular-season NFL game last year. Rudolph of the Pittsburgh Steelers tried to rip off Garrett’s helmet. This prompted the Cleveland Browns star to rush after Rudolph and smash him on the head with his own helmet. Garrett received a hefty punishment and recently, he was reinstated into the league. In an interview, Garrett alleged that Rudolph called him a racial slur and that’s what prompted his actions.
During an interview with First Take, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin went off on Garrett for making such allegations. As he explains, his quarterback never said such a thing and that the investigation that followed, proves this. Tomlin is one of the most respected coaches in the league and when he talks so frankly, people tend to listen.
“It was a thorough investigation done by us and the Nation Football League, I don’t think that was represented during that piece [that aired on ESPN],” Tomlin said. “These accusations are serious, not only in terms of Mason Rudolph’s character but his professional pursuits. Nobody on that field as a member of the Cleveland browns or Pittsburgh Steelers corroborated what was said by Myles Garrett. That was founded by us and the National Football League, and at no point during that piece this weekend that was stated.”
Needless to say, it doesn’t appear as though this saga is going to end anytime soon. For now, Rudolph is looking to take legal action against Garrett, which could prove to be a serious court battle. Stay tuned for updates on this situation as we will be sure to bring them to you.
Mason Rudolph May Take Legal Action Against Myles Garrett
Mason Rudolph has threatened to take legal action against Myles Garrett, after he claimed Rudolph made a racial slur against him that sparked the famous helmet-swinging incident.
Mason Rudolph is considering taking legal action against Myles Garrett, after the Browns' defensive end further alleged that Rudolph uttered a racial slur that instigated the famous helmet-swinging incident. On Saturday morning, Rudolph's attorney, Tim Younger, shared a statement on twitter regarding Garrett's recent interview with ESPN, in which he maintained that Rudolph had called him "a stupid 'N-word'" on the field.
"We waited to hear the entire interview," Younger wrote in the statement. "Garrett, after originally apologizing to Mason Rudolph, has made the ill-advised choice of publishing the belated and false accusation that Mr. Rudolph uttered a racial slur on the night in question. Note that Mr. Garrett claims that Mr. Rudolph uttered the slur simultaneously with being taken down, and before Mr. Garrett committed a battery by strike Mr. Rudolph on the head with a 6 lb helmet. His claim is ludicrous. This obviously was not the first time Mr. Rudolph had been sacked by an African American player. Mr. Garrett maliciously uses this false allegation to coax sympathy, hoping to be excused for what clearly is inexcusable behavior. Despite other players and the referee being in the immediate vicinity, there are zero corroborating witnesses--as confirmed by the NFL. Although Mr. Rudolph had hoped to move forward, it is Mr. Garrett who has decided to utter this defamatory statement — in California. He is now exposed to legal liability."

Garrett first claimed that Rudolph had used a racial slur against him back in November immediately following the incident that got him suspended. Now that Garrett has been reinstated by the NFL, he sat down with ESPN to address the situation and revealed just what exactly Rudolph allegedly called him that triggered the brawl. "When he said it, it kind of sparked something, but I still tried to let it go and still walk away. But once he came back, it kind of reignited the situation," he said. "And not only have you escalated things past what they needed to be with such little time in the game left, now you're trying to re-engage and start a fight again. It's definitely not entirely his fault, it's definitely both parties doing something that we shouldn't have been doing." Rudolph has vehemently denied these claims, insisting that they are "1000% false" and a "bold-faced lie."
"I did not, have not, and would not utter a racial-slur," Rudolph wrote in a tweet on Saturday morning. "This is a disgusting and reckless attempt to assassinate my character." Stay tuned for updates on whether Rudolph pursues legal action against Garrett.
OBJ’s Nike Air Max 720 Slip Coming In "Browns" Colorway: Photos
Odell Beckham Jr. has been killing the sneaker game.
Odell Beckham Jr. has been known to be one of the NFL’s biggest sneakerheads and over the last couple of years, he has had his very own collaborations with Nike. One of the models he has been particularly on is the Nike Air Max 720 which has various OBJ colorways at this point. Now, OBJ is linking up with Nike for a slip-on version of the Air Max 720 and if you’re a Cleveland Browns fan, you’re going to like this colorway.

From there, the midsole is pitch black which is a pretty cool aesthetic for the Air Max unit. If you’re a Brown fan with some of the newer uniforms, these shoes would be perfect to match with. Not to mention, OBJ’s choice in colorway could very well be an admission that he wants to keep things going in Cleveland.
These are being slated to drop on Friday, February 21st for $200 USD, according to Sneaker News. If you’re a Browns fan in the market for some shoes, we highly suggest you try to cop. In the meantime, let us know what you think about the collab, in the comments below.

Myles Garrett Reveals What Mason Rudolph Allegedly Said Before Fight
Myles Garrett is adamant that Mason Rudolph used a racial slur.
Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns was suspended for a large chunk of last year's NFL season due to a brawl he had with Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. Garrett ended up striking Rudolph with his own helmet in what was one of the craziest fights we've seen in any sport. Recently, Garrett was reinstated into the league and has been speaking out about what happened.
While talking to Mina Kimes of ESPN, Garrett alleged that Rudolph called him a "stupid N-word" and that's what ultimately started the fight.
"When he said it, it kind of sparked something, but I still tried to let it go and still walk away. But once he came back, it kind of reignited the situation," Garrett said. "And not only have you escalated things past what they needed to be with such little time in the game left, now you're trying to re-engage and start a fight again. It's definitely not entirely his fault, it's definitely both parties doing something that we shouldn't have been doing."
Garrett has made this allegation in the past although it was quickly denied by Rudolph. Many of Rudolph's Steelers teammates have stood by him throughout this ordeal so it will be interesting to see how the league reacts to what Garrett is alleging.
