Why do we care about the smack talk between athletes, fans and mayors? None of it has any effect on the outcome of a game. These guys have been talking smack to other teams and players since they were kids.

Well, I damn sure don't miss the days when the rest of the league didn't care if we lost.
Obviously folks think it's an accomplishment when they beat us. I'd be more "insulted" if they didn't say anything

"Burrowhead", Apple's tweetstorm, and the conduct of the mayor were beyond obnoxious. Not Steeler player trying to injure Boyd at the end of the game obnoxious, not Steeler player mocking CPR on the field after the Hamlin injury obnoxious, not Browns mortgaging their future for a predator obnoxious, but obnoxious. In the eyes of many casual fans who don't follow this team, they became the bad guys for running their mouths. They ran their mouths about the guy who has thrown for the most regular season yards(in one season) in all of NFL history and who has won a Super Bowl to their zero. Whoops.
