Baker Mayfield loses bet to coach Todd Bowles, has 'rough couple of days' including at press conference
It's not all super serious for Baker Mayfield as he begins preparation for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns.
There's actually kind of a surprisingly jovial atmosphere around the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and his team.
Mayfield, you see, stepped to the microphone on Wednesday to begin his weekly press conference wearing a University of Michigan basketball tank top.
An ill-fitting one at that.
MICHIGAN EXERCISES CLOCK DEMONS FROM WEEK ONE WIN, VANQUISHES 11TH RANKED OKLAHOMA IN ANN ARBOR Head coach Todd Bowles initially stood in the doorway humming the University of Michigan fight song and shouting, "Let's go blue!" "That hurts, that hurts real bad," Mayfield said.
"It's been a rough couple of days." And why would Mayfield be wearing a child-size Michigan tank top? "Oklahoma versus Michigan," he explained.
"Todd's son was on the winning side of it.
The Sooners were not.
And so, therefore, I squeezed into this little tank top." Bowles' son, Troy, plays for the Wolverines.
Mayfield played for Oklahoma.

But then ...
Michigan 17.
Oklahoma 10.
