00:00You want to know real leadership?
00:03How about this?
00:05You want a conspiracy theory?
00:08Oh, I got to tell you guys about somebody who's all in on Chador for Sunday, too.
00:12Remind me about this here in a second.
00:14All right.
00:15What if Jared Verse knows that the media was rough on Chador after the press conference on Wednesday, right?
00:26And Jared Verse goes to all his other veterans, and he goes, listen, I'm going to put this on me.
00:34I'm going to go out there, and I'm going to say some wild stuff.
00:39And then they'll spend all their shows ripping me.
00:43I'm the guy who could be here long term.
00:45Maybe Chador, it's a job interview for him.
00:48Maybe Chador will take some pressure off Chador.
00:50Your mic's not on.
00:51Does it result in him getting a sack this weekend?
00:53I hope so.
00:54I sure hope.
00:55That's fine.
00:56I really.
00:57That is the beauty of it.
00:58Guys.
00:59Holy crap.
01:00Listen, I got three kids, and I swear I'm all the time to the people who.
01:03It's gotten to the point where I don't think people will believe me.
01:09I'm not going to make some stupid radio bet.
01:12I will let Jared Verse cuss me out live here on the air.
01:16Not lie, can't cuss.
01:18But I'll let Jared Verse cuss me out, scream at me in the face, call me fat,
01:25call me ugly, call me stupid, whatever he wants.
01:28Just get me a sack, man.
01:29Just get me a sack.
01:30Give me a sack.
01:32Get me a sack.
01:35Tell everybody I come from a long line of trash.
01:38Tell everybody that I'm fat.
01:39Tell everybody that I'm stupid.
01:41Tell whatever.
01:43For whatever reason, I sound like Lieutenant Dan when I said stupid right there.
01:46Don't you ever call him stupid.
01:49Whatever, man.
01:50Just do it.
01:51Just get sacks.
01:52Help us win on Sunday, please.
01:54Please, please, please.
01:57But be a hell of a plan if he looked at everybody and goes, listen,
01:59I'm going to put this on me.
02:00So I'm going to say that you guys didn't fight for me.
02:03All right?
02:04And they're going to start complaining because I haven't had such a great year
02:06right now.
02:07And that's going to get all the heat off of Shador.
02:09Shador, or it should, except some of the people in the media,
02:12and I think we know who we're talking about,
02:15is obsessed with talking about Shador.
02:19Because I'm listening to you guys.
02:20I'm going, one guy's going to be here longer than this.
02:22This is an interview for the other guy.
02:24God, I hope he does well.
02:26I hope he does well.
02:28Like, I highlighted Nick's segments earlier today, and I'm like, hey, man,
02:31I know we're always ripping each other.
02:32I'm not ripping Nick here.
02:34Like, he was feeling bad at 2 o'clock.
02:36Then he's feeling good.
02:37Like, oh, we're being doubted.
02:38I'm feeling better.
02:39Like, you just contradicted yourself an hour ago, and I'm like, that's,
02:42Nick, just express how we're feeling.
02:44Like, you're 5-3.
02:47We have a chance to do something, and I'm starting to see it slip through
02:50my fingers here.
02:52I'm starting to see the chances of playoffs slip through my fingers.
02:56Like, I'm not, if they lose on Sunday, we are doing 7-in-heaven on Tuesday.
03:00It's happening.
03:00I'm doing 7-in-heaven.
03:01All right?
03:03But you know what else might be coming back out?
03:07Quarterback.
03:077-in-hell?
03:08No.
03:10The quarterback tracker.
03:11The graphic?
03:12The graphic might be coming back out.
03:12Has John been making the graphic each and every week?
03:15Or is it just gone?
03:16No, I think it's probably got to be gone.
03:18I hope he's not wasting his time.
03:19He's been doing it.
03:20That's why we don't hear from him.
03:20We shelve the graphic.
03:23He's got to be ready to go.
03:26Well, technically, yeah, because he knows at any given time any one of us can go,
03:29where's that graphic?
03:30John, why didn't you get that graphic?
03:31So probably he has it.
03:32He's always ready.
03:34This has become a much bigger game than I thought it was going to be,
03:37than I ever thought it would be.
03:39You see New Orleans on the schedule, you don't think anything of it,
03:41because they're not a normal opponent.
03:43It's in a vacation city.
03:45It's indoors.
03:46It's a weird type of opponent.
03:48And then I look and I go, man, we haven't beat them since, yeah,
03:50it's been a running gag, you know, since Axel was technically created.
03:55We ain't know technically about it.
03:56But the day they, last time they beat the Browns is the day Axel was created.
04:00So here we are.
04:04It's a big game.
04:05It's a big one.
04:06I mean, for me right now, it's a total toss-up.
04:07I don't have a huge conviction on it.
04:09And by the way, I wouldn't have really had one if it were Deshaun Watson,
04:13because the offense over the course of eight weeks is definitely,
04:17with the exception of the blip against Tennessee,
04:20we were hoping there'd be some carryover.
04:22Unfortunately, there was zero carryover.
04:24Nothing in the running game, nothing in the passing game.
04:27You know, the stats were all garbage time stuff for Deshaun Watson.
04:30So I just didn't get much out of that to make me think that they were evolving
04:36and learning and getting better in a Todd Munkin offense.
04:39So this isn't a knock on Shador.
04:43This is whoever would have been quarterback.
04:44I wouldn't have had much conviction on this game at all.
04:48I do think, you know, even though it's a road game,
04:51there'll be plenty of Browns fans there, as usual.
04:53So I'm not thinking it's going to be some massive home field advantage for the Saints.
04:58And I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
05:01Like, I am honestly going to go into it on Sunday,
05:05sitting there going, all right, let's see.
05:07Let's see what this team's made of.
05:08Like, I'm kind of excited about it in a weird way.
05:11Not excited because I'm like, they're going to go down there and they're going to win.
05:14I'm just excited to see what it is.
05:16I know, man.
05:16Because I have no idea what to expect.
05:17But earlier this week, I'm looking at it going, hey, we've got to take the Saints seriously.
05:22We've got to take the Saints seriously.
05:23Fans have got to take them seriously.
05:25Chase Young is having a career year.
05:26He's got seven sacks so far.
05:28Carl, oh, you're something so grandish.
05:31Carl Granderson is having a great year.
05:34Tyler Shook, I got a lot of respect for him.
05:36He's a much better quarterback than I thought he was going to be.
05:38I don't think he's God's gift, but he's a much better quarterback than what I thought he was going to
05:41be.
05:41I got respect for Kellen Moore.
05:43I got respect for that staff.
05:44I got respect for that football team.
05:45And I'm going, we got to – I thought I was going to be talking to the fans this week.
05:48Like, hey, we got to respect them.
05:49It's going to be a big one.
05:50And now this has really become a big test of this football team and what they're made of here.
05:55This week has been ugly.
05:57We've been taking – getting shots, taking shots, all the stuff that's been going on.
06:02And there's a lot of fans like, hey, I'm annoyed we haven't talked football.
06:04Yeah, we have talked some football, but we've been bogged down with a lot of conversations about the quarterback,
06:10about the defensive end, about Todd Munkin.
06:13Because honestly, like, I didn't even get a chance to really get it out except for a little bit on
06:17Monday
06:18and yesterday at the end of the show when Owen agreed with me.
06:20I'm like, hey, I really thought that was the worst called game by Todd Munkin all year.
06:23I did not like that game plan.
06:24I did not like that.
06:26I did not like what they continued to do.
06:27Owen agreed with me.
06:28You're agreeing with me here.
06:30Yeah, they were a little predictable in the Baltimore game.
06:32Remember all the run plays, the telegraph?
06:34But I thought that –
06:35It felt like they were setting up something.
06:37Yes, yes, yes.
06:38Yes, that's what I felt.
06:40And KC, what is the one thing we love about KC?
06:44The dynamic ability –
06:45Get the ball in his hand, man.
06:46To finally have a guy that's not just fast and that's all he can bring to the table.
06:50Like Anthony Schwartz.
06:51This is a guy that you can run the jet sweeps, the end arounds, you know, wide receiver screens.
06:57You can get him over the middle.
06:59Like, he does so many different things and it felt like they left that all on the table.
07:04Maybe part of it is the sacks.
07:06So the sacks kill drives.
07:08And that's partly on Deshaun Watson, partly on the offensive line.
07:12But because of that, that limited the amount of plays that they could have with the game still in the
07:17balance.
07:17Believe it.
07:18Believe it.
07:19This is going to be –
07:20This is a much bigger game.
07:22Honestly, it's a much bigger game than it should be.
07:24Because I think this becomes a referendum on their culture.
07:26I think this is a referendum on their team.
07:28Like, I know that rivalry games are rivalry games.
07:31Nick made a big deal.
07:32And a lot of people who disagree with me last week disagree with you.
07:34They made a big deal about last week's game.
07:36Steelers, you know, they'll be there next year.
07:38I've got to make sure we're in the same position next year.
07:40I've got to make sure we're in the same –
07:41Like, I can't let this season go down the drain.
07:44I've had a look at what is possible.
07:47And what is possible isn't even the end-all, be-all.
07:50Like, I'm just dreaming of making the playoffs.
07:52So now –
07:52Like, you can hear it in my voice.
07:53I'm starting to really get ratcheted up here, man.
07:55I'm starting to really get it going.
07:56Because I've seen what is possible with them.
07:59I've seen what they've been able to do.
08:00I've seen what they've been able to do against bad teams and good teams.
08:03I'm like, don't let this opportunity slip through your fingers
08:07because of the infighting and goofiness.
08:09Please don't do it.
08:10Don't do same old Brown stuff.
08:13Please.
08:14So now I'm just –
08:15Because I have no control over any of this.
08:17I'm not their coach.
08:19I'm not their GM.
08:20And I don't play on the team.
08:21I have zero control.
08:22So all I can do is sit here on a Friday morning and beg them.
08:26Please.
08:27Please don't do this.
08:29Please don't do what, guys, before you came and did.
08:31Please reset yourself and be leaders and lead each other
08:35and put whatever it is to the side of any of that stuff with Jared Verse
08:40and just move on and go win the football game, okay?
08:43Damn it.
08:45Because they'll still be a game over .500, but you know damn well
08:49we won't be feeling that way.
08:50And then you're playing against another desperate team next Sunday.
08:55All right.
08:57You ready to give away the fan cash?
09:00Let's go right now.
09:02Justin in Strongsville.
09:04You are this week's winner of the fan cash.
09:07Fan drop.
09:08Give away $100 from fan cash.
09:10Going to you, thanks to Fanatic Sportsbook, Justin in Strongsville.
09:15How are you going to spend that one hundo?
09:19Oh, I'm going to save it.
09:22That's allowed?
09:23Normally people just say it in the yard.
09:25Normally that money is an idea that's already spent.
09:28So it's interesting to hear somebody showing some actual pragmatism.
09:32Maybe I'll get a Chador Sanders jersey.
09:34Let's go ahead.
09:35There you go.
09:35Justin can do that.
09:36That sounds like a great idea.
09:37Justin, if he wins this weekend, you're going to need more than $100.
09:41Boom.
09:42That's right.
09:43All right, Justin.
09:44Tell them which sports talk radio station made you a winner.
09:46Are you serious?
09:4792.3 The Fan.
09:49Oh, perfect.
09:49Gosh.
09:50Here we go.
09:50Here we go.
09:50That's a phrase that pays.
09:51Ding, ding, ding.
09:52Meanwhile, we do $100 each and every week thanks to Fanatic Sportsbook,
09:56where you can truly make out when it comes to fan cash.
10:00You just heard another winner.
10:01We do it every single week at this time.

10:06Win or lose.
10:07That's right.

10:14We're talking about official team gear, game tickets, once-in-a-lifetime experiences,
10:18all courtesy of Fanatic Sportsbook, where they are reminding you it is another week
10:22and another potential time to make out big despite injuries.
10:27We know there are so many injuries on the football field,
10:30but you're protected thanks to fair play.
10:33And they've expanded it, not just for the first half any longer.
10:36In fact, you can bank that fan cash and your stake beyond,
10:40even if you get an injury to the third or fourth quarter now.
10:43Second half injury means you're getting your stake back in fan cash.
10:45Use it on any of what I've talked about already, including bonus bets.
10:49Once your player hits the over two, your bet is locked in.
10:52That is fair play, Max.
