The 49ers And Browns Getting Into A Brouhaha Involving Trent Williams, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Elijah Moore, And Others Was The Perfect Way To Kick Off The Early Slate Of Games

This may be my favorite random NFL pregame skirmish ever because I can't for the life of me figure out what caused it considering the 49ers and Browns don't have any real history with each other along with the fact they only play each other once every four years. But we got some pretty big names involved in a scuffle before a game that would've had a lot more juice and a lot less spread if Deshaun Watson was healthy considering the Niners offense and Browns defense both have been playing like elite units.

I guess you can make a case that a bunch of super competitive guys getting hyped the fuck up before doing battle for 3+ hours on a field could cause it. But I am choosing to believe the Niners were fired up because Jim Schwartz is the Browns defensive coordinator and he has a long history with Big Cat's dad who just so happens to be the 49ers head of PR (I'm not sure if he is still in that position and he is definitely not Big Cat's dad, but this was a great running series in the old Barstool days before the Devnest wiped it off the World Wide Web).

Anyway, I feel like every NFL Sunday should have an appetizer of (shitty) football in London at 9:30 AM ET, a skirmish between two random teams at 12:30 PM ET, and kickoff at 1 PM ET. Perfect way to get the blood moving on an NFL Sunday
