Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield said on Wednesday night that he believes he saw a UFO in Texas, which is a somewhat common occurrence among NFL quarterbacks, apparently.
Cowherd, the sports-talk personality, took to the airwaves to once again (potentially sarcastically?) berate the quarterback for what he believes he saw.
Cowherd’s ridiculous take in full:

UPDATE: Brady added to the fun Thursday night with a response to Cowherd:
Cowherd’s soliloquy is eerily reminiscent of a satirical tweet sent by a Twitter user in response to Mayfield’s UFO tweet, in which the tweet takes the “voice” of Cowherd berating Mayfield for his close encounter.
The similarities between Cowherd’s take and the tweet likely point to a hyper-awareness and online-ness of Cowherd and his shock-jock sports-talk brand — or an astounding, devastating lack of self-awareness. Either is completely possible.
The feud between Mayfield and Cowherd is long-running, with the Cleveland QB calling Cowherd a “clown” in the past. Cowherd has also nonsensically ripped Mayfield for his choice to wear his hat backward.
In a battle of UFOs, Browns quarterbacks and gasbags, maybe Cowherd should sit this one out.
