00:00It's so weird to hear Ken in a radio world, I'm like, I'm supposed to be reacting to this.
00:07And I need to get my point of view into it. I need to call in.
00:10Well, it's like I've got to play the cards a little bit close to the vest because everybody knows I
00:13hate.
00:15If I have to do a post game, I'll do a post game right after. There's no problem.
00:18But I hate doing a post game or sort of in between when I got the show in the morning
00:23because I don't want to give away what we can have on the air.
00:27For lack of a better term, I don't want to let it all out before it's actually time to go
00:32on the air.
00:35You can draw whatever lines you want to draw there.
00:38But it was this long delay, and I figured, well, what the hell, right?
00:42They called me. Yeah, I'll run downstairs.
00:44And then thank goodness, it was just like, all right, now we're getting ready to start the game again.
00:48Great, off we go.
00:49Was there part of you, did you guys, like everybody was starting to look,
00:53because it was such a weird thing to happen.
00:55We've had delays, we've had lightning and stuff, but not that long where it was like two plus hours
01:01and you kept looking at the radar going, is there a chance they don't get this in tonight?
01:06Were any of you like wondering, is there a policy or is there a chance they come back tomorrow and
01:12do this?
01:12No, I said they will sit there until 9 o'clock at night, 10 o'clock at night, whatever it
01:18is,
01:19to get the rest of that in.
01:19Because they only needed two minutes.
01:20I did think there was a chance that that game would be ending and the Chiefs game would have started.
01:26It definitely felt like that at one point.
01:28I mean, I was listening to Gerard, and he goes, uh-uh, the wind's picking up.
01:32Well, honestly, if the game was like out of hand, if it was like a two-score game or a
01:38three-score game
01:38or something like that, it's like, game's over.
01:40Everybody go home.
01:41But it's like, Tim had it at like our 30.
01:45It's like, we ain't going anywhere.
01:46Well, they had that kickoff return.
01:47Yeah.
01:49All I'm like, all we needed to do is have a normal kickoff.
01:52And instead, they returned it to midfield.
01:54And I'm like, we're going to lose the game now.
01:56I mean, we are going to lose the game.
01:57And then that's when there was a break in the action.
01:59And so it was interesting to hear Browns fans, because I listened to the postgame and everything,
02:03whether Browns fans were confident or thought, oh, no, it's the World Series all over again.
02:09It's game seven.
02:10We're going to lose now.
02:11Did you feel good for Todd Munkin?
02:12Yes.
02:13Did you feel better for Todd Munkin after he dropped this in there?
02:17I thought our guys did a great job of hanging together.
02:19We had a couple scuffles Wednesday, which is good.
02:21That's awesome, because guys didn't like it.
02:23They're a little pissed off.
02:24You ought to be a little pissed off.
02:25Played awful.
02:26It wasn't the standard.
02:27Browns are going to Browns.
02:28F*** that.
02:30But the guys took that to heart.
02:32Well, he's mad.
02:33Responding to Mike Tomlin.
02:34Got into it.
02:35And Mike Tomlin, by the way, I watched the postgame.
02:38He was, like, joking.
02:39Well, if I can fire him up, like, he did not apologize.
02:43Well, no, you don't.
02:44They did it again at halftime, too.
02:45Both times.
02:45You're right.
02:46And it was the same both times.
02:47He refused.
02:48You know, good for Todd Munkin.
02:49I don't know how many wins he's going to get here.
02:50This is not a great situation.
02:52No.
02:53Obviously, it's not like Deshaun Watson made all of Cleveland believers in what this is going to be.
02:59But you know what?
03:00It was awesome.
03:01And, you know, what fired me up more and more during that game was when they showed the crowd seeing
03:06the Baker Mayfield jerseys.
03:08Browns jerseys.
03:09Like, it did.
03:10It fired me up where I'm like, you know what?
03:12Screw them.
03:13I want to win.
03:14Screw them.
03:14Whoa, whoa, whoa.
03:15Wait a minute.
03:16Wait a minute.
03:16Screw the Browns fans that were wearing Baker jerseys.
03:18No, hold on.
03:18Hold on.
03:18Hold on.
03:19Hold on.
03:19Hold on.
03:20I disagree.
03:21I thought it was loser energy all week.
03:22I disagree.
03:23I thought the amount of people that said, I'm going to the game and I'm wearing my Baker jersey.
03:26I disagree.
03:27I disagree.
03:30One is if you tell them they can't do these sort of things, then you're going to lose them as
03:34fans.
03:35Okay?
03:36Doing that in the first place shows that they still care about the football team.
03:39All right?
03:40So I totally disagree with you on that.
03:44I'm more, I'm an olive branch guy.
03:47I understand there's some people who are upset.
03:49You're an olive garden guy.
03:51I'm both, to be honest with you.
03:53But I'm a person who, first off,
03:56the company makes money.
03:59Okay?
03:59So don't, all these restaurants that are going over, under,
04:01you guys sit there and rip on Olive Garden.
04:03Olive Garden's good food.
04:04Okay?
04:05It's the best Italian they had in Parkersburg, West Virginia.
04:07Exactly.
04:07See, that's exactly the point.
04:09That's exactly the point.
04:10They're wearing their jerseys.
04:11They're wearing Browns jerseys.
04:13They're Browns fans.
04:14And you didn't tell them that they were losers on Friday
04:17when there were people saying that they were going to do it.
04:20So you can't turn right around.
04:21If you were, if you were going to have the balls to say it now,
04:24you should have had it back on Friday.
04:25You don't get that.
04:26That's revisionist.
04:27Anybody going to the game to wear Brown stuff,
04:31but then at the same time cheer against the Browns,
04:34it was just weird to me.
04:35It's weird.
04:36It is a little bizarre, I'll grant you that,
04:38but it doesn't affect them as people.
04:40It's not your fault the team put you in this predicament.
04:43Like, I get that.
04:44So why are you ripping them?
04:45But at some point, like, I tried to explain,
04:47before the season started, when they named him the starter,
04:50heck, when he was named the captain.
04:51Like, you guys realize, Deshaun Watson doing well means all these young players
04:56are doing well.
04:57The Andrew Barry draft picks are doing well.
05:00The rebuild offensive line, jury's still out,
05:03but there were some good moments, is doing well.
05:05Like, Tennis Howard had a rough day.
05:07Yeah, he did.
05:08I just, at some point, like, fine, if you did it as a gag to start out, fine.
05:13But they kept capturing these guys on camera,
05:15and they didn't know whether to cheer or do what
05:17when the Browns were scoring touchdowns.
05:20Like, can that be just a one-game thing and be done with it?
05:22Or are people still going to bring that same energy to the home game?
05:26Now, as this young team has some confidence,
05:29and they want to believe in the head coach,
05:31they want to believe in each other,
05:33and, yeah, they want to believe in the quarterback.
05:35But if the fans are undercutting them throughout,
05:38like, I just don't think that's a recipe for any of this to go good.
05:41You've got a lot of people here who have been fans of this team
05:43through a lot of the thin, because it's been mostly thin since 1999.
05:47You had to look at it, then they bring this guy in,
05:50and he's not been worth the money.
05:51I'm not going to fault these folks for not switching completely in one week.
05:57All right?
05:57And, again, I keep going back.
05:59You did not make a big damn deal of it when it was asked
06:02on Thursday and Friday of last week.
06:04So I can't be revisionist about this
06:06and call these people, say they have loser energy,
06:09which implies that you're thinking they're losers.
06:11Well, I think they are.
06:11Okay, well, I'm glad you're saying it,
06:14because I don't think they're losers for having a very bitter emotion
06:17towards their favorite football team.
06:18Ken will never call out the fans, but I absolutely will.
06:20Well, because what you're saying is ridiculous.
06:22I know loser energy when I see it,
06:24and I'm so glad that you guys got to go to the game
06:26and see Baker Mayfield look like a fool and embarrass himself.
06:30And now the people leaving that stadium,
06:32the ones questioning the contract,
06:34were the Tampa Bay Buccaneer fans,
06:36because they've got to pay that guy $60 million a year,
06:38and he has no chance to go to the Super Bowl.
06:40Well, listen, I heard them booing.
06:42I heard them booing their own team.
06:43They're done with him.
06:44Like, it was hilarious to see.
06:46I don't know if they should be done with the guy,
06:47for the love of God.
06:48Can we not treat every single week like it's a Super Bowl?
06:50I don't think Baker Mayfield's completely done,
06:52and I don't think Deshaun Watson's back in the MVP conversation.
06:55Well, when Baker Mayfield made the entire training camp
06:57about his contract and his money,
06:59and he got paid, and they're 0-2,
07:01those fans, they jumped off that pirate ship real quick.
07:052-1-6-4-7-4-0-92.
07:07All right, I'm going to get the phone.
07:07Well, now it's going to change here.
07:10I got to know, because I got people saying,
07:12come on, Ken, you're on the wrong.
07:15Social media reactions are brought to you by?
07:17Scheiben Jewelers, Cleveland's premier jewelry store.
07:19J.R., Ken, come on.
07:21You're on the wrong side with the Baker jersey.
07:23Sports boy Tony is right about that being loser behavior.
07:26They're wearing Browns jerseys.
07:27They're Browns fans.
07:28They're angry at their football team
07:30for still carrying this through.
07:31They did not think, and not very many people,
07:34with the exception of people with the last name of Watson,
07:36thought that he was going to go out there and play well.
07:38All right?
07:39I got a couple of nasty emails,
07:42a couple of nasty messages before the season started.
07:46Why aren't you guys supporting Watson?
07:48Guess what disappeared after last week?
07:50All those people, which were very few to begin with.
07:53So I don't want to hear anything about loser behavior out of fans.
07:56Did those fans want them to win?
07:57You didn't say anything before that.
07:58While I'm talking now, did they want them to win?
08:00Did they want them to win over the last two minutes?
08:02When they came out of that, did they?
08:03At that point, yes.
08:04Did they?
08:05Yes.
08:05I saw some people who were mad the Browns won.
08:07And they have Browns in their handles on social media,
08:10and they are mad, and they are permeating.
08:12Well, that I'm not going to defend.
08:13They are permeating that loser energy and trying to spread it,
08:16and I think it needs to stop.
08:17I think it's embarrassing.
08:18All right.
