The ravages of time ...

You know those before and after shots of presidents where they look like they’ve aged 30 years in eight because of the stress of holding office? That same thing is happening to Baker Mayfield, except at a faster, much scarier rate.

Behold, the ravages of age that a year in Cleveland has on the human body. This subject, one Baker Mayfield of Austin, Texas, began living in the city in April 2018, and now, 18 months later, we can see the effects. Unkempt hair, joy washed from his face — the slumped posture of a man giving up.

Mayfield looks like a shadow of himself after losing to the Broncos on Sunday, and now he looks like a million things all at once.

  1. Your dad who went out for cigarettes and never came back.
  2. The undercover cop who infiltrated the gang, but now people are worried he’s in too deep.
  3. The leader of the Cleveland electricians union.
  4. The brother in a boxing movie leading his sibling astray.
  5. A gas station employee working night shift.
  6. An alien in a human suit trying to fit in.
  7. Front man for a locally popular Brooklyn indie band.
  8. Bedpan sanitation technician at the hospital.
  9. Professional internet catfisher.
  10. The dude everyone thinks is the serial killer in a horror movie.
  11. The dude who is a serial killer in a horror movie.
  12. John Candy in the upcoming remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
  13. Professional lottery player.
  14. Man whose girlfriend is Siri.
  15. The medic in every WWII movie who wasn’t prepared for the horrors of war.
  16. Man willing to spend three week in a car without bathing to win it.
  17. Owner of the house everyone avoids on Halloween.
  18. Guy in a doctor’s pamphlet on Lyme Disease.
  19. Sheriff who time traveled to 2019 and can’t handle the world around him.
  20. Manager of a vintage vinyl store.
  21. 10-year-old who wished he was big, now realizing he’s out of his depth.
