John reacts to the news of Deshaun Watson's 11-game suspension following the NFL’s appeal, and explains why he's had more than enough of talking about the Browns QB. He also explains why Aaron Rodgers has earned the right to publicly criticize his young wide receivers, why Russell Wilson is getting too much say with the Broncos, why he likes what he sees from the Lions in Hard Knocks, if the Jets can have any success with Joe Flacco, and why USC’s jump to the B1G makes more sense than ever with the conference's massive new 3-network deal. #herd
