Baker Mayfield Caught On Mic Making Funny 'D*ck' Joke, Video Later Mysteriously Disappears
Baker Mayfield was picked up on a mic making a comment the NFL apparently didn't seem to like.
The Buccaneers ran the Saints off the field 26-9 this past Sunday to improve to 3-1 on the season. Mayfield and the Bucs are having a much better season than expected, and he was fired up following a catch from Godwin.
"My d*ck got hard as soon as I saw him running in the motion back," Mayfield could be heard telling Godwin on the mic he was wearing Sunday.
Weirdly, the video of Godwin mic'd up appears to no longer be available on YouTube. It seems likely it was pulled down once it was realized what Mayfield could be heard saying in it. Is the NFL attempting to shield all its new young female fans brought in by Taylor Swift? We can't say for sure, but why it's certainly interesting that the video is gone.
Baker Mayfield drops "d*ck" comment against the Saints, and the video disappears.
Before anyone might think about getting outraged, you can hardly blame Baker Mayfield for this clip going viral.
Did he even know Chris Godwin was wearing a mic? Probably not, and it doesn't matter even if he did. People say things in the heat of the moment.
Football is a passionate sport. Making a comment of this nature is pretty vanilla to many other things said in the heat of battle on the gridiron. If anything, it's going to make people like him more. The dude was out there on the field cracking jokes while destroying the Saints. That's a positive, not a negative.
Whoever was editing the video clearly wasn't paying attention seeing as how this humorous comment slipped through.
The fact the video no longer appears to be up tells you everything you need to know. The NFL doesn't want a video of a QB saying his "d*ck got hard" floating around, despite the fact your average fan probably loves it. Might be the funniest thing Baker has done in a while. Also, it's a bit too late to scrub it at this point. The internet is forever, and it's now all over Twitter.
Besides, of all the things the NFL should be worried about, Baker cracking a "d*ck" joke shouldn't be in the top 10,000.
Next time, don't be afraid to censor/beep comments out if you're the video editor for the NFL and this much of a pearl-clutcher the video has to be deleted. As for the fans, this is probably the kind of stuff they'd love seeing more out of Baker Mayfield.
