I ’ m sure there are going to be a lot of people who want to jump on this video as some kind of sign Brown is working his way back into the NFL .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ s hope that ’ s not the case .
Antonio Brown shouldn ’ t be anywhere near the NFL .
He ’ s a cancer to the sport of football and should be kept away at all costs .
If I ’ m the Redskins , I ’ m not sure I even want Haskins anywhere near the former Steelers star .
Let ’ s remember , Brown is currently facing a felony case in Florida after allegedly attacking a moving truck driver .
That ’ s on top of all his other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the face of the Redskins , and I wouldn ’ t want him associating with such a toxic person .
As for whether or not Brown will ever play in the NFL again , you can ’ t rule anything out for a guy with his level of talent .
However , I think it ’ s safe to assume most NFL teams wouldn ’ t touch him .
Yes , he ’ s talented , but he also comes with some serious baggage .
His talents just don ’ t outweigh his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and he pissed them all away .
He only has himself to blame .

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield thinks this upcoming season is very important for his contract.
Mayfield is entering the third year of his rookie deal, and that means he could in theory negotiate an extension after the season. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)
According to ProFootballTalk, the young NFL quarterback said Wednesday, “There’s no doubt that year is always a big year with these contracts, timing-wise.”

You know the best way to earn a fat extension as an NFL quarterback? Actually win some games. It’s really not as hard as you might think.
The problem for Mayfield is pretty simple. He’s a former first overall pick and he hasn’t accomplished anything in the NFL.

The Browns were loaded with talent last season, and they still failed to make the playoffs. Despite the fact Mayfield ran his mouth nonstop, Cleveland didn’t do anything noteworthy in 2019.
Will things be different in 2020? Only time will tell, but I’ll tell you all this. It would be insanely foolish for the Browns to pour a bunch of money into Mayfield without getting some results first.
If Cleveland doesn’t do a bunch of winning this season, then Mayfield has to go. He’ll have been the starter for three years and have nothing to show for it.

“ More than 5,000 nursing home residents died in his state after he ordered COVID patients be returned to assisted living facilities and he is admitting he wouldn ’ t send us own mother to a nursing home during the crisis , ” Jones continued , noting that 40 % of New Yorkers are now dissatisfied with the way Cuomo handled the nursing home situation .
“ The governor has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ praise from both sides .

Fox News host Jesse Watters slammed Democratic New York Governor Andrew Cuomo over his COVID order to nursing homes.
Watters addressed the issue Thursday during a segment of “The Five,” saying that Cuomo was refusing to take responsibility for his actions and accusing the media of covering for him.

WATCH:
“More stunning incompetence from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo,” Lawrence Jones began the segment with a clip of Cuomo — who ordered nursing homes to accept COVID positive patients — saying that he would not send his mother to a nursing home under the current conditions.
“More than 5,000 nursing home residents died in his state after he ordered COVID patients be returned to assisted living facilities and he is admitting he wouldn’t send us own mother to a nursing home during the crisis,” Jones continued, noting that 40% of New Yorkers are now dissatisfied with the way Cuomo handled the nursing home situation. “The governor has been on these press conferences. He got praise from both sides. Will this destroy that narrative right now?”
Dana Perino pointed out the fact that Cuomo most often has a friendly interviewer in his own brother, CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, and is not used to being pressed on the difficult questions. “This is where journalism actually catches up and he’s forced to answer it. There was a story by Peter Hasson about how they are counting the numbers of nursing home deaths and maybe altering them,” she said.
Marie Harf defended Cuomo in part, arguing that he apparently was not the only governor who followed the initial CDC guidelines but conceding that he did bear responsibility fir the consequences.
“Marie is wrong about the guidelines,” Watters replied. “The guidelines didn’t say stuff sick people in the nursing homes. It was a lot more than that. If those were the guidelines, why didn’t DeSantis do it? He did something totally different and that was brilliant and he saved countless lives.”
Watters went on to say that every time someone challenged one of Cuomo’s decisions or suggested that he was wrong, he blamed someone else — President Donald Trump, the CDC, and even the nursing homes themselves.
“Remember what he did. First he played dumb. ‘What directive?’ And then he said, ‘oh you know what,’ in the dark, he tried to like delete it, then he said, ‘Trump told me to do it.’ Now he said, ‘No, it’s the nursing home’s fault.’ So he got caught red-handed and now he’s scrambling and everybody can see he made a boneheaded error,” Watters concluded. “But the media is covering for him.”

thedailycaller--2020-05-29--PATEL: Why Was Biden Spying On The Trump Team?

We have now had time to digest the news of senior Obama political appointees — including Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden — spying on President Donald Trump ’ s 2017 incoming national security advisor , Michael Flynn .
It has been weeks since the news broke , but we have few answers as to what actually happened — and very few questions have even been asked .
Here ’ s what we know : Hillary Clinton ’ s campaign paid an opposition research firm to dig up dirt on Trump .
The firm , Fusion GPS , then contracted Christopher @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to look for dirt on Trump in Russia .
The results of this investigation were compiled in a document — the “ Steele dossier ” — that was subsequently leaked to both the FBI and the press .
The FBI used the information in this paid political opposition research as justification to spy on Trump campaign operatives .

But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ foreign intelligence court so as not to endanger their ability to spy on Trump ’ s team .
Even after Trump was elected president , the Obama administration ’ s law enforcement and intelligence agents continued to spy on the incoming president ’ s team .

Apparently , that sentiment is now less important if it gets in the way of removing Trump .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ relatively common , how common is it for unmaskings to be requested by political appointees instead of law enforcement or intelligence agents ?
