    This is the man Baker really is. He may seem cocky but he is a great man.

      Kind of like John Cena... absolutely could not STAND him in the wrestling ring... he buried new talent and didn't like to push new guys... just could not stand him. However, OUTSIDE the ring, he is a wonderful guy. He is Make A Wish's leading wish giver with over 650 wishes granted. He treats each child like they are a king or queen. So I understand what you are saying about Baker.

      @@Copeharder97 I am talking about the man, not the wrestling character. He didn't like to push new talent...had nothing to do with a script...that was his personal feelings backstage real life, not scripted. Can't stand his wrestling character either.... but neither has anything to do with the fact that he is wonderful at making wishes come true.

    This is the stuff I wish ESPN would present rather than demoralizing athletes like Baker Mayfield. I'm never leaving being a UGA fan, however, this is special. I wish ESPN and Disney would start presenting stuff like this. Thank you, Baker, God Bless and I wish you the best of luck in the future in the NFL. You are an athlete and a one of a kind athlete if you keep your head above your shoulders and don't let the money get to your head.

Whether it is the horrible food we eat or the pollutants we put into the water and ground.......She will be in heaven one day with the Father who knew number of hairs on her beautiful head before she was her parents little girl ......Read the bible and do not take God's will from the mouths of men ..
