00:00What is the percent chance that Shador Sanders starts this season, week one, as the quarterback of the Browns?
00:06You know, right now I would probably put it at, I guess I would put it at 60%.
00:14Whoa! Not bad! We had a guest on here.
00:17Twice as high as Albert Breer.
00:19Yeah, I was going to name names, but I'll go ahead and name names.
00:22You're twice as high as Albert Breer goes Mary Kay Cabot.
00:26Doing the fade-out thing again!
00:30All right, Mary Kay Cabot, you know the one answer I hated that she gave us?
00:35The 18-game schedule thing, she's like, I'm mentally prepared for it.
00:38I go, come on, that's not a reason to want it. I hate it.
00:40Mary Kay wants to see the world. She wants to see Australia.
00:44She wants to go, because she knows she's going to get to go.
00:47Would you go if it was taken care of?
00:50I ain't going to Australia. No.
00:52Owen? Australia? Are you in?
00:54Yeah. No.
00:56Yeah. Nah.
00:57You get to see the Wiggles up close and personal.
00:59Well, I'll just do other things.
01:01I'll go to Outback Steakhouse. That's as close as I need to get.
01:04That'd be a good bet. You're going all the way over there.
01:06Yep, I'm going. I'll take Ken's portion of Australia, please.
01:09It's like when Liz makes everybody upset because she's from Youngstown,
01:12and she's like, let's go to Olive Garden.
01:15And then I get all defensive of Olive Garden.
01:17I'm like, it's good food. Stop it. Shut up.
01:19Then at the restaurant, Ken goes to see how the water really does flush in the toilet.
01:24I go, wow, Bart Simpson was right.
01:27I mean, I would go to, I don't think I'd go anywhere for an NFL game.
01:30I'd just stay in America and go to an NFL game.
01:33If it, I really don't have any reason to go to Australia.
01:36I got nothing against those people, but I don't have a reason to go.
01:38Yeah. NFL is the one sport that I just, I have no desire to go see in other stadiums.
01:45Except Lambeau.
01:46I do want to go to Lambeau.
01:47I'll go to a road game for the Browns, depending.
01:52Vegas? People said the stadium's cool.
01:55You know what? I'm glad you just brought this up.
01:57Super Bowl in 2029, supposed to be in Vegas.
02:00I'm sick and tired of Vegas.
02:02I'm sick and tired of hearing about it.
02:03My grandma used to go to Vegas back in the day.
02:06That's back when the drinks were cheap, and the rooms were cheap, and the food was cheap,
02:11and everything else was cheap because they knew they were going to empty your pockets in the end.
02:14And now they just charged out the you-know-what front.
02:18I hope it is because it's ridiculous.
02:19All I hear about is how expensive everything is.
02:21I go, why do you guys want to go here?
02:22You can gamble at the Horseshoe or whatever they're calling it.
02:25The Jack.
02:26You can gamble down the street.
02:27What do you need to go there?
02:29You can go to MGM.
02:29Why do I need to go there?
02:31Yesterday, this made the rounds on social media.
02:33These packages.
02:34Of course, still got to buy a flight, and the flights are insanely expensive from Cleveland.
02:38You don't have very many good flights from Cleveland to Vegas.
02:41They are giving away stays at these.
02:45Not the top resorts or anything like that, but I think the Excalibur, and this is an unpaid testimonial,
02:51but they were like, $300, you and your family, all weekend, and they haven't done that stuff in years.
02:58So it shows you that all the stuff they've been writing about in the trades, that they are struggling.
03:04Good.
03:05Good.
03:07It was supposed to be what I learned.
03:11I've never been there, so I will talk about it with supreme confidence, is that it's supposed
03:16to be America's playground, adult playground.
03:19Well, then make it the adult playground.
03:21You know why people are there.
03:22You know you're going to empty their pockets while they're gambling.
03:25Make everything at least a value.
03:27We're looking for value in 2026, are we not?
03:29No, you've got to squeeze everything out of everybody.
03:32It's ridiculous.
03:34And I told you, you took the Raiders that had one of the most iconic logos, iconic owners,
03:40iconic themes, I mean, everything about, say what you will about Al Davis, but I mean,
03:44it is one of the most iconic franchises in all professional sports, as he would say.
03:49You have one of the great fan bases out there, and all you've done is turn it into a giant
03:53road game for their entire home schedule, and then they've got to go on the road and play
03:59other teams, because every time they play at home, unless Fernando Mendoza really takes
04:03off, then maybe it'll change a little bit.
04:04It's just a road game.
04:05It's just where everybody goes on vacation.
04:07And then all they do is come back and they go, can you believe how expensive Vegas has
04:10gotten?
04:11That's all they do.
04:12I've never been there.
04:13I have zero desire to that.
04:15I'll tell you this much.
04:15Mo Green be rolling in his grave.
04:17He would.
04:19Anthony Lyman, cocktail waitresses, 216-474-0092.
04:24So, I like what she had to say about Shador, obviously.
04:28I mean, that cat can be running up a tree many, many different times.
04:33The responsible decision about Miles thing, though, like that's a breakthrough thing you
04:37just brought up here, with the news about his contract being moved and some things like
04:42that, which would open up some possibilities for the Browns to make moves.
04:45When you bring that up, Anthony, and you say it's irresponsible, are you saying it's
04:49irresponsible not to consider, or are you saying it's irresponsible not to make the
04:53move now?
04:53Which one is it?
04:54If you're saying it's irresponsible not to make the move now, that's the one I think
04:58that gets the people thinking.
05:00Because everybody considers it.
05:02Anybody, I'm sorry, it's not bold or anything to say it's irresponsible to not consider it.
05:06Everybody considers it.
05:09Even the ones that don't want to move, you're considering it.
05:11I've seen some people that they think it's sacrilegious.
05:14You don't trade a Hall of Famer, and he's still in his prime.
05:17That's a crazy thing.
05:18And I do understand that.
05:20It would bother me dearly.
05:21But I think part of it is because of where the Browns are.
05:24And it's not, don't blame me for trying to help them be responsible.
05:28Blame the Browns for just being ill-equipped to build a good team.
05:32You don't build a good team around a defensive end, but to build a good team in general.
05:37And eventually, can you even blame Miles Garrett?
05:40And I've seen less and less people, you know, show any kind of vitriol around that.
05:45You know, a year ago, I heard people say, hey, he signed the contract.
05:48He's got to live up to the turf.
05:49Okay, but then he set the sack record on a five-win team.
05:53And he's the reason they won five games.
05:55Yeah, it's true.
05:572-1-6-4-7-4-0-0-92.
05:58Let me get to Paul and Canton real quick.
06:01Hello, Paul.
06:02Hey, good morning, guys.
06:04Good morning, Paul.
06:04Go ahead.
06:05I think it's highly irresponsible to consider trading him.
06:10Well, not, I guess, considering, like you said, you could think of anything, but to trade Miles Garrett.
06:16He's just not just a prime Hall of Famer, but he is a linchpin to your defense.
06:20And after what I've seen in the playoffs and the Super Bowls, you want to see how that defense looks
06:26when you drop that guy off?
06:28You think Schlesinger and Graham and Daniel Ward are really dead?
06:32You're 100% right.
06:33So you have to rebuild.
06:34Now, all of a sudden, you rebuild your defense.
06:36And as I said before, we didn't have the worst quarterback situation.
06:38We had the worst situation for a quarterback.
06:41And I watched the Ravens almost go to the playoffs with a 500-record last year to take Miles off.
06:49So you tank and you go get a first or second, you know, a quarterback and pick first or second.
06:56You don't know if that's going to bomb or not.
06:58You have no idea.
06:59No, right now, you have a great situation.
07:04Great?
07:05I don't know if it's great.
07:06What's the great situation?
07:08Well, this is why I say it's great.
07:09This is why I say it's great.
07:10You have a Super Bowl-winning defense.
07:12You have changed your offensive line to make it a little bit better.
07:17And you still, the quarterback that you have, you know, he went three out of four games.
07:21I'm a Browns quarterback fan, not so much, you know, Shador.
07:26But Shador is starting at, like, 99%.
07:28I mean, you saw where A.B. congratulates him all the time.
07:32He made moves so the dude could play.
07:34Munkin tried to get him at Georgia and Baltimore.
07:36You know, the locker room likes him.
07:37He's all over their social media.
07:39I mean, if you're celibate and your wife is pregnant, she's probably cheating on you guys.
07:43Read the tea leaves.
07:44It's just, he's starting, you know.
07:46So, you have this situation in a division where if you're, there's issues with each team.
07:55Big issues.
07:56There are.
07:56I agree.
07:57Rather, if it's Cincinnati, rather, you know, it's Pittsburgh, there's big issues.
08:04The Browns have a situation where it could set up if they get decent quarterback play.
08:09But that also stands with not having a last-place offensive line, last-place wide receivers in a running game.
08:16Paul, thank you very much for the call.
08:18Listen, he made as much sense as you're going to make in trying to argue that the Browns are, and
08:23the funny thing is, I've said, I don't think the Browns are as far away as some of the naysayers.
08:29I also think that's some optimism there for the quarterback room currently, and I don't know that everybody shares that
08:36optimism.
