Michelle Beadle Sides With Browns Fans On Deshaun Watson Injury: ‘I Would’ve Cheered My A** Off'

Michelle Beadle does not feel sorry for Deshaun Watson.

During the Cleveland Browns' 21-14 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, Watson went down with what was later revealed to be a season-ending ruptured Achilles. Normally, an injured player on the field results in a moment of silence from the crowd followed by bipartisan applause once the player gets up or is helped off the field. 

But not this time. Browns fans erupted in cheers as they saw their quarterback lying motionless on the ground.

According to Beadle, she would have been right there with them. In fact, she would have been booing Watson long before the injury ever happened.

"The fans think that because they pay their money, they can do or say whatever they want out loud," Beadle told her co-host, Cody Decker, on Monday. "That’s exactly what Deshaun Watson did. He did whatever he wanted, and then he paid some money to make a problem go away. I would’ve cheered my ass off. Here’s the problem — I would’ve been booing Deshaun Watson the minute they brought him to Cleveland.

"The fans were put in a garbage situation, and if you talk to a lot of Browns’ fans, they don’t like him; they never liked him. They hated the move by the organization, and they didn’t want to be forced to cheer for this person, who they don’t find to be a decent human."

It's not a secret that Browns fans are unhappy with Watson. The three-time Pro Bowl player has been underwhelming (to say the least) since he was traded to Cleveland in 2022 and signed a five-year, fully guaranteed $230 million contract extension. The Browns (1-6) are the only team in the NFL this season who has yet to score 20 points in a game, and Watson hasn't thrown for 200 yards yet in 2024.

And that's not to
