Just one week after prominent Cleveland Browns figures like Myles Garrett embarrassed themselves with weird defenses of an injured Deshaun Watson — who once faced more than 20 allegations of sexual misconduct in what the NFL would later characterize as “predatory behavior” — backup Jameis Winston got the start against the rival Baltimore Ravens.
Winston didn’t disappoint when he was as corny as possible during his pregame interview on CBS. Winston broke the fourth wall while delivering random nonsequiturs about believing in himself and his teammates to answer an anodyne, cliche question about how he feels about starting again.
It’s almost as if Winston was auditioning for a role in a movie … that doesn’t even exist:
"Unwavering faith. Ultimate belief."

Why is Winston looking at the camera like that? Why couldn’t he just answer the question in a normal way? What is happening?
So many questions and so few answers.
