T media.

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:23.000
It's time.

00:00:23.000 --> 00:01:33.000
Time for the Burning River Sportscast. Todd Monken famously dropped some expletives a couple weeks back in response to those mocking the Browns. This is the new Browns, the Todd Monken Browns. Seemingly everything was going right, every bounce going your way and feeling like you can't lose. And then sometimes your top rookie wideout will take a nap on the field. Sometimes your offensive line will give up eight sacks. Sometimes your wide receivers will drop wide open passes. Sometimes your quarterback will fumble the ball three times. Sometimes your kicker who hasn't missed all year will shake an extra point. Sometimes your defense will hand you the ball back on your opponent's 43 yard line with 413 left in the game with a lead, and you'll run exactly 12 seconds off the clock. Sometimes your long snapper will throw the football square over your punter's head. And sometimes it will rain. But sometimes the Browns are gonna Browns. Welcome to Cleveland, Todd. We'll break it all down for you next on the Burning River Sports.

00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:35.000
Don't call me Juice box.
5
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.000
You're yesterday's news.
6
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:37.000
You're.
7
00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:39.000
You're. You're. You're a dry piece of toast.
8
00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:40.000
You're here.
9
00:01:40.000 --> 00:01:42.000
We don't care about you anymore.
10
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.000
Slippery with what.
11
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000
What comes after allies and trials and the hero's journey.
12
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:48.000
It is.
13
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.000
It's the setback. The setback is absolute must, part of the hero's journey.
14
00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.000
Todd Muggin, Hero.
15
00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:56.000
Hero.
16
00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:57.000
We're back to this.
17
00:01:56.000 --> 00:02:00.000
Let's say the old turkey dinner at Robert Evans.
18
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.000
You like the old turkey?
19
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:02.000
Yeah, it's slaps.
20
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.000
Slaps.
21
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:03.000
I enjoy their. Their podcast.
22
00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:13.000
I like when bone says slaps. Shut the hell up. We're in the bones. There's a lot of people out there that'll tell you that seeing more of Jaleel. Yep. Would be a good thing.
23
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:21.000
Oh, playoff. Yeah, playoff. And potential. I thought you were talking about potential. Like, I haven't heard potential with the Bronze Eagle in a while.
24
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:26.000
Champ is a word literally used to describe horses grinding their teeth. Chomp is what I do to a sub sandwich.
25
00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.000
They're basically the Browns of the West.
26
00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:39.000
Doesn't he look like a guy that just verbalizes affirmations in the mirror to himself before he leaves the house. Like, every time I see him, I just feel like he's like, I'm Mike Rutenberg. I'm an NFL coach.
27
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.000
Do you just be like, nah, I want it. I insist on having my.
28
00:02:43.000 --> 00:03:05.000
I want to make sure they're very clearly mollusks. He used the word mollusks. Welcome into the Burning River Sportscast, presented by the fine folks at Tap In Media. I'm Kenny Thunder, and across from me today, he loves wood more than Gepp. He's Red Hot Ronnie Jam.
29
00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:07.000
No way.
30
00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:11.000
On the boards today, he's a donut in a world full of bagels. He's the big Bone man.
31
00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000
Hell yeah. I love donuts bone.
32
00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:19.000
Why can't bicycles stand up on their own balance? They're too tired.
33
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:20.000
God.
34
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.000
Back to red.
35
00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:27.000
I like how you used to, like, tell them other things and now it's just turned into dad jokes. That's all it is. It's just dad jokes.

and oh, so much more. So sit back and enjoy two hours of the smoothest, silkiest, sexiest, most soothing voices on the airwaves. And Kenny Thunder. Now let's get things started with the
44
00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:16.000
Burning river news story of the week.
45
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:23.000
All right. News story of the week. This week. Legendary coach Mike Dick Cub passed away this past week.
46
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.000
Rip.
47
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:29.000
Yeah, we lost a. We lost a legend here. The dude. I mean, the Bears.
48
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:30.000
What.
49
00:05:29.000 --> 00:05:49.000
What else can you say? No, seriously. I mean, obviously, great coach, but even since his time on the, you know, as a coach, on the football field, he's remained in the. Kind of in the public eye. He's been. He's done some, like, analyst work. He's done movies, he's done commercials. Commercials. He's done all kinds of stuff.
50
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.000
And he's just kind of did okay for himself.
51
00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:52.000
Yeah.
52
00:05:51.000 --> 00:06:10.000
I mean, even if, like I said, he was great when he was coaching, we all know him and love him from that, but I. It's like he's grown even more into a household name for the urge, at least just as much for the stuff he's done off the field as he did when he was on the field. On the field, coaching. So big football guy.
53
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.000
Big football guy.
54
00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:29.000
Yeah. Just done a lot for the game, I will say. Just every time I think of Mike Ditka, I actually. Football coaches is probably the first thing that pops into my head. But I don't actually think of him coaching the Bears. The first. The first thing that comes to my mind is the movie Kicking and Screaming with Will Ferrell.
55
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:31.000
Everybody wave your body, Juice box.
56
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:40.000
Yeah, don't call me Juice box. And him and Will Ferrell just yelling at each other the entire time that Will Ferrell's a coach and turning into just an egomaniac.
57
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:49.000
So one thing that I saw that came out this week, that, I mean, I'm sure other people have seen this before, but I guess. Have you guys heard of this? The fertile crescent of football?
58
00:06:49.000 --> 00:06:51.000
No.
59
00:06:51.000 --> 00:07:18.000
Mike. Mike Ditka, Paul Brown, Don Shula, Chuck Noel, Urban Meyer, Jim Harbaugh, Nick Saban, Bo Schembechler, Lou Holtz, Bob Stoops, Les Arab Parshigian, Jim Trestle, Don James, Bill Cower, Woody Hayes, Kurt Signetti, and Mike McCarthy, all born or raised inside of this 315 mile area of basically northeast Ohio to, like, Pittsburgh. Wow. Yeah, like. Well, Toledo, I guess. Like Toledo to Pittsburgh.
60
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:19.000
Ish.
61
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:22.000
Like all of those guys just all from the same area. I just thought that was super interesting.
62
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:27.000
Does anybody have any more questions
as to why the Pro Football hall of Fame is in Canton, Ohio?
63
00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.000
That's right. All the greats are from here.
64
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:37.000
Yeah. So I know that there's. That's like a constant debate is like, whose football is better, Ohio or Texas. And I know you Texas people say it's Texas. It's not. It's Ohio.
65
00:07:37.000 --> 00:07:38.000
It's definitely not Kentucky.
66
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:47.000
Yeah. Well, that's for sure. Yeah. Or that. That city that poses as a city in southern Ohio, but is actually in Kentucky.
67
00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:48.000
That's in Kentucky.
68
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.000
Yeah.
69
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:50.000
Cincinnati, Florence, y'.
70
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.000
All.
71
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:51.000
Yeah.
72
00:07:51.000 --> 00:07:53.000
They don't even have their own airport.
73
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:58.000
No, it's in Kentucky, actually. If you have to fly out of Kentucky, then you're officially in Kentucky.
74
00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.000
You're in Kentucky.
75
00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:05.000
Yeah. So across the state line. And I know that the Bengals fly. When they have away games, they fly out of Kentucky. So there you go.
76
00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.000
All their games are away games. They're from Kentucky.
77
00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:12.000
They're from Kentucky. I just hate them. But I loved Mike Ditka, so.
78
00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:13.000
Mike Ditka was a good dude.
79
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:14.000
Yeah.
80
00:08:14.000 --> 00:08:33.000
RIP Mike Dick, rip. You will be missed. Before we get into the Browns here, Bernie Kozar autograph jersey giveaway. Yes, for the fourth year in a row, we are giving away some autographed Browns memorabilia. This one's a Bernie Kosar autographed jersey. Plenty of ways to enter even more ways to earn bonus entries, head over to our socials and get signed up.
81
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.000
Now, it's not Bernie Kozar's jersey, but it is a Bernie Kosar jersey that was signed by Bernie Kosar.
82
00:08:39.000 --> 00:08:44.000
There you go. Another thing before we get to the Browns, let me remind everybody, call the Burninger sports guys.
83
00:08:44.000 --> 00:08:46.000
Take call that shit.
84
00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:49.000
Don't recall if you had takes on how. Take hotline. Kenny, we got any hot takes this week?
85
00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:52.000
We got some hot takes. Do you want to hear them?
86
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:54.000
Oh, you want to hear them?
87
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.000
Oh, you want to hear them?
88
00:08:55.000 --> 00:08:56.000
Yeah, I do.
89
00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:42.000
Hey, it's Monaco from the Brownsbackers of North Jersey. This is a message from Matt from Nashville. Matt, you seem like a great guy. I've loved your call since you've been calling. Keep them up, but be wary, because these guys have this tendency to love on you when you first start calling, and then as soon as someone new shows up your yesterday's news,
you're a dry piece of toast. We don't care about you anymore. It happened last year. I was the flavor of the month last year. Bobby got angry. Bobby got pushed off to the side. And, oh, we love Menachem. And now this year, we love Matt.
90
00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:43.000
Oh, Menachem.
91
00:09:43.000 --> 00:09:45.000
Oh, he can. He can rot in hell.
92
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:46.000
We don't care about him.
93
00:09:46.000 --> 00:10:15.000
So, Matt, keep the calls coming, but just beware that this is how they operate. All right, Have a great day, everybody. Maybe we'll call with another one about the game itself and whatnot But, Matt, I do like your calls. I want you to know I really, really like calls. But just be aware that, like, when someone new starts calling, you're gonna be, like, pushed off to the side like they've done before. Bum, bum, bum.
94
00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:25.000
One, I like that Monokam has his own sound effects. And two, Menachem, you said you turn into a dry piece of toast. Aren't all pieces of toast dry?
95
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.000
The nature of toast.
96
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:29.000
That's what toast is. You literally heat up and dry out the bread.
97
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:34.000
Manakum doesn't sound like toast to me. He sounds like salt. He's a little salty.
98
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.000
He was still pretty nice to Matt, the newcomer.
99
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.000
I mean, who doesn't love Matt, right? The infectious laugh.
100
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:40.000
Yeah.
101
00:10:40.000 --> 00:10:43.000
The soothe bite. Those smooth pipes.
102
00:10:43.000 --> 00:10:48.000
Menachem, what are you talking about? We love you.
103
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:54.000
Well, yeah, we love you, Manakum. You're still the flavor of my month. Or my flavor of the month. One of those.
104
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:03.000
For some reason, that just sounds wrong. I mean, I'm just saying. No, but you're constantly promoting the hot take hotline, and we love you.
105
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:05.000
Nothing sounds better coming out of my mouth than Menockum.
106
00:11:05.000 --> 00:11:12.000
Okay, well, on that note, let's see if we have any other hot takes.
107
00:11:12.000 --> 00:14:10.000
Hi, guys. Matt from Nashville. Here we go. This hot take might get me banned from the Burning river sportscast for forever, but not because of what you think, but because it's so dorky and nerdy. But before the game started, I told my wife, I was like, this is the one the Browns have to lose, I said, because they're on the hero's journey. And I was a kid in the back of school not playing on a sports team. I was reading Joseph Campbell, and Joseph Campbell says, you know, you start off, you're just living in the ordinary world, the typical world. Game one, right? That's typical Browns. And then there's a call to adventure. So week two. Weeks, week two, is this. Come out of the gate. Like, this could be new. This is different. This is odd. Something changes. And
the next phase of the hero's journey, this. Allies and trials arrive. So I don't know if this is a Browns hero's journey, if it's Todd Monken's hero's journey. But. But there's an. An early help. A little push from the side, and. And these guys get a win. Well, literally, we have help from above, not help from a side. We have a. We have a game delay of four hours. What was it? And so then there's these. Just the trials. So we got the Carolina game, then the Pittsburgh game that I went to. What comes after allies and trials and the hero's journey. It is. It's the setback. The setback is absolute must, part of the hero's journey. And it might be just because maybe they're going to do this the rest of the season. My consolation is before. Nope, they got to lose to the hero's journey to set back. Offense stalls, confidence gets tested. So here's what comes next. It's not just a bounce back. It is an ordeal. We have an ordeal where the biggest challenge looms and that fits next week for right now. I mean, maybe anything would be a challenge if they survive the ordeal. The next step on the hero's journey is the road back. So these lessons from the setback and the ordeal get put to use. So we got Tennessee, we got Pittsburgh, we got New Orleans. They can come back and then there's a return. Doesn't mean they make playoffs. But if they just played better football than the last five or six years, maybe that's. That's probably Todd Monkin's hero's journey. Now that I think about him, he
108
00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:14.000
got cut off in the middle of his literary reference.
109
00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:17.000
That happens to Matt. Yeah,
110
00:14:17.000 --> 00:14:18.000
he's probably still talking.
111
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:28.000
Yeah, he was like, oh, did something. But anyways, no, you won't get banned. There's. There's very few things that can get you banned from. From the Burning River Sports.
112
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:31.000
I actually love it. A Joseph Campbell reference. I didn't have that in my.
113
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:40.000
I was really getting into it. You've revealed some things about yourself. And at least. At the very least, we've learned that you're somewhat of an intellectual and you like to read.
114
00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:47.000
That's what I was going to say. I think there we were kind of guessing what Menachem did as a profession last year. It's going to be interesting.
115
00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:50.000
Do you remember on what's it.
116
00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.000
I think he's in education. Right.
117
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:52.000
Yeah.
118
00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:53.000
There you go.
119
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:58.000
We knew just by his vocabulary that he was an intellectual. And he's still an intellectual, even though if he's dry.
120
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:00.000
But yeah, breaking out the hero's journey.
121
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:08.000
And that's the Hero with the Thousand Faces. Right. I think was the. Was the. The book, the whole mono myth, 1949,
122
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:09.000
the hero with a Thousand Faces.
123
00:15:09.000 --> 00:15:14.000
I think Star wars was like loosely based on that story.
124
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:28.000
A lot of. Yeah. A lot of newer age. Well, Star wars going back to like the 70s or 60s or whatever that was. But yeah, I mean, it's one of those pieces of literature that like is very influential for future hero's journey.
125
00:15:28.000 --> 00:15:31.000
Yeah, love that. Didn't see that coming.
126
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:37.000
See that coming. I'm excited. Anytime people bring break out like literary
127
00:15:37.000 --> 00:15:40.000
references, you're just waiting on somebody to bring out a Tolkien reference.
128
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:44.000
I need dude dog to call back in and talk about Tolkien because it's my favorite.
129
00:15:44.000 --> 00:15:45.000
You love Tolkien.
130
00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:51.000
But no, I like this one. I can see where you're going with this. Todd Monken's hero journey.
131
00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:56.000
Look, every great hero faces adversity. This is Todd Monkins adversity. You're gonna come out stronger on the other side.
132
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:57.000
Right?
133
00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.000
Like it's all part of the plan.
134
00:15:58.000 --> 00:16:06.000
And I mean, I guess if we're gonna write a book about Todd Monkin's life one day, he's gotta have that hero journey. So it's gotta line up with, with, you know, the formula.
135
00:16:06.000 --> 00:16:08.000
Todd Muggin hero.
136
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:15.000
We're back to this. Oh, geez. Thanks, Matt. If nothing else, you brought this back from a couple weeks ago? I thought we were past it.
137
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.000
We love it, Matt.
138
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.000
Thank you.
139
00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:17.000
Keep calling.
140
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.000
Keep calling.
141
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:18.000
The hot take hotline.
142
00:16:18.000 --> 00:16:19.000
Is that what we got this week?
143
00:16:19.000 --> 00:16:24.000
That's what we got this week. Manakam said he was going to call back and talk about the game. He never did. He's still salty with us.
144
00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:28.000
Yeah, you wonder why we're giving you Knock him. You aren't even holding to your promises
145
00:16:28.000 --> 00:16:34.000
and apparently angry Bobby's just falling off completely. Angry Bobby. Angry Bobby mad at us. He doesn't like us.
146
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:40.000
I know you're listening. So call angry Bobby because apparently he's nowhere to be found. I'm chapter of the year. I'm too good for these. We used it.
147
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:47.000
We used to hear from the little Bobby's. Yeah, and now they aren't even calling. Was that Kevin? Tim. They quit calling us.
148
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:49.000
Never heard from them. Months.
149
00:16:49.000 --> 00:16:50.000
Haven't heard from him.
150
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:51.000
So.
151
00:16:50.000 -->
00:16:52.000
Yeah, I feel like the scorned lover.
152
00:16:52.000 --> 00:16:53.000
Yeah, to hell with those guys.
153
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.000
I once was their lover and now I'm scorned.
154
00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:56.000
You guys are sons of bitches.
155
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:01.000
Talk about a hero's journey. This is a lover's journey. My journey. And I'm the lover and now I'm scorned.
156
00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:05.000
Yeah, I'm going back to last year. I don't know how Mrs. Angry Bobby puts up with that lot.
157
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.000
You know, they're terrible bad, bad guys.
158
00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:15.000
But anyways, don't for call leave your hot takes on the hot take hotline. Remember, these are hot takes. We want hot takes.

We'll call you. Toast.
162
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:44.000
Dry toast, whatever that is. Anyway, speaking of hot takes, it's time for dig it with the macho fan.
163
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:46.000
Yeah.
164
00:17:46.000 --> 00:17:51.000
Not the way we wanted it to go. Slippery with wet. But now we move on.
165
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:52.000
That's right.
166
00:17:52.000 --> 00:17:57.000
We're moving on to the next chapter. Moving on to the Baltimore Ravens.
167
00:17:57.000 --> 00:17:58.000
Yeah.
168
00:17:58.000 --> 00:18:04.000
Division four. We all know we all have that history. We have that best.
169
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:05.000
Yeah.
170
00:18:05.000 --> 00:18:16.000
And we're gonna make you not the future. The future is the Cleveland Browns. So you, Baltimore, you can take your flock and migrate somewhere else.
171
00:18:16.000 --> 00:18:17.000
Yeah.
172
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:22.000
Migrate down to the bottom south of the AFC North.
173
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.000
Yeah.
174
00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:27.000
So now we can stay on top where we belong.
175
00:18:27.000 --> 00:18:29.000
Oh, yeah.
176
00:18:29.000 --> 00:18:58.000
Let's go, Browns. Before we talk about the macho fan, I do actually want to talk about toast for a second because we recently went to Robert Evans's restaurant of breakfast foods, and I actually had some really dry. Actually had some really dry toast. Like, I remember remarking a second. I remember remembering remarking to my wife, I was like, this toast is exceptionally dry.
177
00:18:58.000 --> 00:19:01.000
Did you know the original Bob Evans is Ohio?
178
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000
Yeah.
179
00:19:01.000 --> 00:19:02.000
Yeah.
180
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:07.000
Fertile Crescent grew a lot of breakfast foods here. Football and all the breakfast.
181
00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:08.000
And Robert Evans.
182
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.000
That's right. Good sausage gravy.
183
00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:12.000
Okay. Well, yeah.
184
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:19.000
I'm surprised Bob Evans is still around, to be honest. Robert Evans. The food's not that good.
185
00:19:19.000 --> 00:19:24.000
You know what's great about Robert Evans? On Tuesdays, it's like 4.99 for kids.
186
00:19:24.000 --> 00:19:26.000
It's actually free. Free. It's free.
187
00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:37.000
It is free. You're right. And it's fantastic because every time, like, we're sitting around, we're like, we don't know what to have on a. Like a Tuesday night. I'm like, well, you know, Robert Evans has free kids. Kids eat free.
188
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:42.000
My wife manages kids for a living. So sometimes we have extra kids.
189
00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:43.000
That sounds weird.
190
00:19:42.000 --> 00:20:05.000
Don't. Sometimes we have extra kids, and that's. We often do the Robert Evans dinner tour because it's cheap to take multiple kids there on a Tuesday. At least for every adult, you get a kid's meal for free, which is good. And even if you go normally, I think the kids meals include a drink. So, like, if you're buying apple juice, orange juice, milk at a restaurant can be expensive. So to have that included for like 6.99 you know how we do?
191
00:20:05.000 --> 00:20:06.000
We ball on a budget, baby.
192
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.000
We ball on a budget over at Robert Evans.
193
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:09.000
Hell yeah.
194
00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:11.000
Let's say the old turkey dinner at Robert Evans.
195
00:20:11.000 --> 00:20:12.000
You like the old turkey?
196
00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.000
Yeah, it slaps.
197
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.000
Slaps.
198
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:15.000
I enjoy their. Their pots.
199
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:18.000
I like when bone says slaps. I like when bone slaps.
200
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:20.000
I like slapping the bone.
201
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:21.000
Yeah.
202
00:20:20.000 --> 00:20:35.000
I enjoy their pot roast dinner. Lately, since I've been on the diet, I'm down 157 pounds of still fat. Still fat. I pretty much exclusively eat these steak and eggs for breakfast, lunch or dinner now because it's like less than 500 calories for the whole plate.
203
00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:36.000
Hell yeah.
204
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:40.000
If you don't eat too many of the hash brown potatoes anyways. That's the calorie killer.
205
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:41.000
Macho fan.
206
00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:44.000
Macho, macho fan.
207
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.000
I wanna be a macho fan.
208
00:20:47.000 --> 00:20:50.000
Macho fan has never had had a toast that was dry.
209
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:51.000
No, no.
210
00:20:51.000 --> 00:20:55.000
His toast is always moist and uttered so wet. So moist.
211
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:59.000
And one more thing before. Actually we got two more things, so.
212
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.000
Two more Joseph Campbell references.
213
00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:09.000
No, Right now we're gonna do the burning of a sportscast dog.
214
00:21:09.000 --> 00:21:10.000
Doesn't
matter, man.
215
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:13.000
You gotta play tough people in the National Football League.
216
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.000
You gotta be ready and we gotta be the dogs that we are every
217
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:25.000
time we step on there on Sunday and be ready to attack and don' until we're in that locker room.
218
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:41.000
All right. We leave it up to our listeners to determine the burning of Sportscast Dog of the week. Each week on our live shows on Sunday night, we each nominate a dog of the week candidate. From there, we turn it over to all of you on our socials to vote and make your make the final decision. This week's nominees. Kenny.
219
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:44.000
I nominated the joker Quincy Williams.
220
00:21:44.000 --> 00:22:00.000
Yeah. I nominated Carson Schwezinger and Bone Malik Collins. And after the fan vote that was conducted on our socials, this week's Burning River Sportscast dog of the week is
221
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:02.000
Quincy. Quincy Adams.
222
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:03.000
No.
223
00:22:02.000 --> 00:22:17.000
Quincy Williams. Quincy Williams. Quincy Williams, playing his former team was just out of his mind this week. 11 total tackles, seven solo tackles, one tackle for loss, one pass defendant, and three forced fumbles.
224
00:22:17.000 --> 00:22:36.000
Guy clearly came out with a chip on his shoulder, A bone to pick bones over there. Either way, he was out with something to prove. I mean, he was a. He was pretty much the only reason they were even in this game at some points because his performance was just absolutely monstrous all day long, just disruptive.
225
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:39.000
It seemed like every time we needed a big play on defense, there it was.
226
00:22:39.000 --> 00:22:43.000
I mean, three forced fumbles that's crazy. What are you doing?
227
00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:44.000
Yeah, I mean, pretty good.
228
00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:52.000
We need that every game. Yeah, I think they only recovered one, but three, four. Really impressive.
229
00:22:52.000 --> 00:23:07.000
Yeah. And I know you said he had a bone to pick. Speaking of bone, it's time for the bone zone.
230
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:08.000
All right.
231
00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:15.000
It is time to enter the bone zone. Y' all heard me and Kenny's thoughts on Sunday night after the game. This is the time for bone to give his thoughts.
232
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:19.000
So talk about the twilight zone, but with.
233
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:20.000
Yes.
234
00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:22.000
These. Nope.
235
00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.000
Cucumber.
236
00:23:23.000 --> 00:23:24.000
There it is.
237
00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:25.000
Oh, my God.
238
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:26.000
Nice.
239
00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:28.000
So much water droplet just came out of your mouth.
240
00:23:28.000 --> 00:23:31.000
Anticipation. It's making me wait.
241
00:23:31.000 --> 00:23:35.000
It snuck up on me. I thought it was going to hit
my microphone. I was like, I got to get out of here. But then it didn't come.
242
00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:38.000
Then shut the hell up. We're in the bone.
243
00:23:38.000 --> 00:23:39.000
I'm sorry.
244
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:40.000
I'm bone. What do you got?
245
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:46.000
Skull bone. Oh, you guys should actually film this time because I did not watch the game.
246
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.000
He's not even gonna pretend.
247
00:23:48.000 --> 00:23:53.000
Should I pretend it? I was at a wedding reception, so I had to miss it.
248
00:23:53.000 --> 00:23:54.000
I've never been more disappointed in my.
249
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:04.000
I watched a few highlights. You know what? I did make it home at the very end of the game where, like, Deshaun got sacked, like, three times, and we. We. Oh, we ran out on when it
250
00:24:04.000 --> 00:24:10.000
was 4th and 19, and instead of just throwing the ball up, he decided to scramble. Yeah, the one thing that wasn't going to lead to it.
251
00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:14.000
I saw a replay of the. The pun or whatever.
252
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:15.000
The.
253
00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:21.000
The snapped punt over the head. Yeah, it looked like at that time, the game was still within reach. And our d. We were winning. Our defense held him to 10 points at that point.
254
00:24:21.000 --> 00:24:24.000
And, yeah, it was 12 to 10. We were winning at that point.
255
00:24:24.000 --> 00:24:25.000
We had the ball on their side of the field.
256
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:27.000
They got the ball at the 20 and scored.
257
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:28.000
So we didn't.
258
00:24:28.000 --> 00:24:33.000
We didn't even force them to take their timeouts. We didn't run the ball. We were just like, you know what? 12 seconds off the clock. Let's give you the ball back.
259
00:24:33.000 --> 00:24:34.000
There you go.
260
00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:35.000
I mean, I saw.
261
00:24:35.000 --> 00:24:37.000
In fact, let's give it to you on your side of the field.
262
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:48.000
Whatever. We had four sacks. They had eight. So it seems like Deshawn was harassed quite a bit throughout the game. Rain the whole time. So I don't. I Not watching the whole game. I can't get a good, I guess, feel of how everything went.
263
00:24:48.000 --> 00:24:51.000
But, you see, we walk into the bone zone thinking we're getting something Good. And he just.
264
00:24:51.000 --> 00:24:52.000
That's what I told you.
265
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:55.000
I didn't watch the game. I don't care. I don't know.
266
00:24:55.000 --> 00:25:02.000
I feel like our defense still played well, just from what I have gathered, ascertained. But was it at least promising?
267
00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:04.000
Was it at least a good wedding reception? Was it.
268
00:25:04.000 --> 00:25:06.000
You do the chicken. Tell us about that.
269
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:13.000
It was pretty good. It was just. Honestly, there was no. It was like they got married on Saturday and then they had a bigger reception with more people on Sunday.
270
00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.000
So it was cool.
271
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:22.000
They had good food and drinks and stuff. And. Yeah, it was nice. It's a nice entertaining lunch.
272
00:25:22.000 --> 00:25:23.000
Well, this segment was a waste.
273
00:25:23.000 --> 00:25:27.000
Yeah. Not really all that riveting, I guess, with that.
274
00:25:27.000 --> 00:25:40.000
Let's go ahead and get into the Browns brief.
275
00:25:40.000 --> 00:25:44.000
I can't lie.
276
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:48.000
All right, guys, you know what it was, right? It was the white uniforms.
277
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:50.000
I hate the white. All white uniforms. It may be terrible.
278
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.000
It may be the worst uniform combination.
279
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.000
My least favorite uni combo.
280
00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:58.000
Oh, my God. It's so bad. And we always lose when we wear all white.
281
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:59.000
Yeah.
282
00:25:58.000 --> 00:26:03.000
I feel like every time we play the jets and we lose.
283
00:26:03.000 --> 00:26:07.000
Play the jets or if they wear all white, they're gonna lose. If you do both, you're definitely some
284
00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:11.000
type of terrible special teams play or some anomaly in the game and they end up. They end up winning.
285
00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:12.000
Nick Chubb scores a touchdown.
286
00:26:12.000 --> 00:26:13.000
Yeah.
287
00:26:13.000 --> 00:26:21.000
Like all bad things that happened. Yes. They. I just. I don't know why they don't at least wear the. The orange pants. Just do the orange pants. That is a sharp color combo.
288
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:22.000
Yeah.
289
00:26:22.000 --> 00:26:25.000
I don't even care what pants you wear other than white. Just wear a color.
290
00:26:25.000 --> 00:26:27.000
Make up a new color. You can wear gray pants.
291
00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:30.000
It doesn't matter. Just don't wear white on white. It looks terrible.
292
00:26:30.000 --> 00:26:32.000
It's. I think some people, they don't like it.
293
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:40.000
It would even be better if they went like colored socks. They're there. It's literally white. White jersey, white pants, white socks. Like, it's terrible.
294
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:49.000
It's a terrible color combo. I will say the white face masks at least. Kind of like they improved it a little bit this year with the white face masks, but.
295
00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.000
I hate.
296
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:51.000
I hate it.
297
00:26:50.000 --> 00:27:02.000
Yeah. Something else. Anyways, the biggest part of the Browns brief today might actually be the injury update. So, Kenny, you want to give us that? Because there' entire team is slew of.
298
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:47.000
Of injuries. Actually, let me just pull up the injury report here right now. So let's see. Derek Barnett, Denzel Boston, Malik Collins, Casey Concepcion, Grant Delpit, Dylan
Gabriel, Mason Graham, Mike, Hall. Let's see, we got Howard, Jenkins, Jenkins, Judkins, Ryan, Sampson, Sweatinger, Wallace, and Davis. So now the Ravens aren't in much better shape. They have about the same amount of guys that are design injury, but most of them were not like, did not practice this week. Most of them were just limited in reps where the Browns, on the other hand, have. Let's see what. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 guys that just did not practice.
299
00:27:47.000 --> 00:28:11.000
Yeah. I will say this. I saw today that Lamar Jackson is like, lobbying to be able to play this week. It sounds like he's honestly probably not quite ready to come back, but that he's lobbying to play against the Browns. And I, I don't know if that says anything or not. I mean, to me, that almost speaks to like, he thinks the Browns are a legitimate team this year.
300
00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:20.000
Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I, I think what it speaks to me is that this division is super tight and he knows it.
301
00:28:20.000 --> 00:28:22.000
He's like, every game counts, especially in the division.
302
00:28:22.000 --> 00:28:28.000
I mean, like, how good are the Steelers? Anybody's guess. The Bengals always falter because they're the Bengals and they're in Kentucky.
303
00:28:28.000 --> 00:28:32.000
Why is every team in our div. Division like Jekyll and Hyde? You have no idea what you're going to get.
304
00:28:32.000 --> 00:29:12.000
The Browns clearly are the Browns. The Browns are going to Browns. So I think he's expecting that at some point they'll falter. And at that point, then you're the lone, like, by default division winner if you can keep it together during the season. Right. So you might win this division with nine, 10 wins. And he's probably looking at that calendar going like, I, this is one of those that I, we should be able to win. So that's what it says to me. But I honestly, like, I don't know if you have a 70, 80% Lamar Jackson and then Snoop Huntley. Like, like both of those guys are capable. Obviously Lamar is a dynamic athlete, but if he's injured, like, you don't have maybe the full Lamar Jackson. But. But I think either way, like, the Browns got to bring their lunch this week because both those guys can play.
305
00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:19.000
Yeah, yeah, just. But so many injuries, we have no idea, like, half the teams could be out this week.
306
00:29:19.000 --> 00:29:55.000
I mean, the fortunate thing is, as Todd Monken did say this week, like early in the week or midweek, that he wasn't ruling anybody out just yet. Yet. But we know that, like, Carson would be a big miss with the ankle injury. We Know Quin Sean left in a boot last week. Obviously the offensive line being banged up doesn't help for a group that already gave up eight sacks this last week. So a lot of concerns I think especially in the running back room where Dylan Sampson hasn't been on the field all year. Quinn Shawn is now hurt and we had to sign Adric Estimate who is a monster of a human being but hasn't done a whole lot in his time in the league so far.
307
00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:56.000
Did you read the notes?
308
00:29:56.000 --> 00:29:58.000
No, I was just talking about the running back room.
309
00:29:58.000 --> 00:30:04.000
Well good, because that was the next point in the Browns brief is that we signed a running backs. Our running backs are hurt. I had a whole segue plan.
310
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:05.000
Sorry.
311
00:30:04.000 --> 00:30:06.000
Like going from injury update to this.
312
00:30:06.000 --> 00:30:07.000
But I have my notes up.
313
00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.000
You know, there you are. You wrecked it. So thank you.
314
00:30:10.000 --> 00:30:17.000
Hopefully can wreck natural transition but also have Jaleel McLaughlin.
315
00:30:17.000 --> 00:30:28.000
Oh, yeah. So I mean we're there now. You already said what I was going to say, so. So there you have it. We signed Audric estimate big dude but we have no running back. So I don't know what's gonna happen.
316
00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:33.000
Yeah, I think he's like a 230 pound guy. I think he's 5116 foot.
317
00:30:33.000 --> 00:30:38.000
What was Quinshon's actual injury? You just mentioned he was injured. What's his actual injury?
318
00:30:38.000 --> 00:30:40.000
It's an ankle.
319
00:30:40.000 --> 00:30:51.000
Ankle injury. I think as long as he avoided the dreaded high ankle sprain. We haven't mentioned it in a while and. And I know him and Swezing are left with in walking boots this past week.
320
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.000
I feel like it might have just been a sprain.
321
00:30:53.000 --> 00:30:56.000
If that's the case, that's good. You can come. You bounce back.
322
00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:02.000
It's actually designated as a foot injury. I think it's the same. He'll probably play one that got hurt last year.
323
00:31:02.000 --> 00:31:05.000
That's a little concerning.
324
00:31:05.000 --> 00:31:14.000
But. Yeah, but Dylan Sampson is designated to return this week. But I think there's like a 21 day window where they have to like activate him.
325
00:31:14.000 --> 00:31:15.000
He was practicing.
326
00:31:15.000 --> 00:31:24.000
I saw he was practicing but he didn't really, really dress and he wasn't really involved in any drills. He was just kind of out there in sweats. So we'll see how that develops things
327
00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.000
to keep an eye on.
328
00:31:25.000 --> 00:31:33.000
But we could be literally. I mean this is already a struggling running game and we could be walking into Sunday with Aldrich estimate and Jaleel McLaughlin.
329
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:43.000
Yeah, there's a lot of people out there that'll tell you that. Seeing more of Jaleel Yep. Would be a good thing. So we'll see.
330
00:31:43.000 --> 00:31:52.000
I, I, I mean, look, he's, he's not touched the ball a whole lot. I mean, what he's in I think his third or fourth season and he
331
00:31:52.000 --> 00:31:53.000
hasn't really done,
he had that one
332
00:31:53.000 --> 00:31:55.000
touchdown run against, I mean, I agree it's Browns fans.
333
00:31:55.000 --> 00:32:02.000
I mean, we, I'm a Browns fan too. So when I see a guy do something dynamic the running back because they're like, give him the ball.
334
00:32:02.000 --> 00:32:05.000
He's had a nice touchdown run against the Steelers. That's why that might be his like,
335
00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:08.000
only that's why everybody wants to see him touch the ball.
336
00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:18.000
Four years in the league, four touchdowns, 1,100 124 yards. So now to be fair, he's averaging 4.9 yards per carry, which is way better than Quinchon.
337
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:19.000
Yeah.
338
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:21.000
So maybe he is the answer.
339
00:32:21.000 --> 00:32:24.000
Maybe he's the See, now you're on board, little dude.
340
00:32:24.000 --> 00:32:26.000
57187.
341
00:32:26.000 --> 00:32:31.000
He's small. That doesn't, that's not a recipe for success in the NFL.
342
00:32:31.000 --> 00:32:33.000
Local tie in Youngstown State guy.
343
00:32:33.000 --> 00:32:34.000
Hell yeah.
344
00:32:34.000 --> 00:32:35.000
Penguin.
345
00:32:35.000 --> 00:32:39.000
Yeah, that's cool. Jim Trestle, he's the president over there.
346
00:32:39.000 --> 00:32:43.000
They probably was there around the same time because that would have been four, five years ago.
347
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.000
So, you know, whatever.
348
00:32:45.000 --> 00:32:46.000
Fertile Crescent.
349
00:32:45.000 --> 00:33:09.000
Yeah, Next up here. And this, this will actually probably take up the most time on the Browns brief here because it's just an interesting thing that came out this week. Adam Schefter reported this week that Browns quarterback Shador Sanders, who went through draft night in the early part of his NFL career without an agent, has signed with with A.D. von Gonard. A.m. i saying that right, Gard?
350
00:33:09.000 --> 00:33:10.000
I think so.
351
00:33:10.000 --> 00:33:14.000
CEO of Young Money APA Young Money is the name.
352
00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:16.000
Most people know that.
353
00:33:16.000 --> 00:35:02.000
So he signed with Young Money as the agency. But, but that's his representation with the signing Young Money. APAA Sports now represents former Colorado teammates Travis Hunter and Sanders. And so this is interesting because obviously he hasn't had an agent to this point. So immediately there's lots of speculation. Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports responded with Shador Sanders in your in year two of four. Two of a four year deal, he stuck behind Watson. He didn't hire an agent when he needed one. Air quotes during the draft process. But now he hires won five games into his second season with 12 games and two years left on his rookie deal. Use your brains. An agent seeks options. Emmett golden of ESPN Cleveland also said there was really no reason for Sanders to hire an agent unless Something was cooking for the Browns. He added, for people
that aren't familiar with this, sometimes a player will go to a team or a team will go to a player and say, hey, this is what's about to happen. Maybe the team will say, we're going to waive you, but you can find a trade. A player might say, hey, listen, I would like to be traded. And they go, okay, find a trade partner. We're not going to do the legwork. You can do it, but we're not going to do it. Yada, yada, yada. So all this to say, or I'm sorry. He followed it up with, I wonder if Shador is going to the Browns and saying, I want an opportunity somewhere else, or are the Browns saying, hey, we are going to make Dylan active coming up here in a couple weeks and we're going to waive you if you can't find a trade. That's the speculation. So just a lot of quotes in there. But I just all this to say, I mean, what do you guys think? You think that there's smoke? Where there's smoke, there's fire. Do you think it just is heavy happened. He just happened to think it was time for an agent?
354
00:35:02.000 --> 00:35:27.000
I mean, I tend to try to stay objective about these things. You know, the Browns have not indicated any intent to trade Shador. In fact, they've doubled down on saying that they like his progress and, you know, they're excited about his future. And that is almost a stark contrast to kind of where they've been. So they've kind of been positively reinforcing the relationship with Shador.
355
00:35:27.000 --> 00:35:33.000
That's just coming from, like, Mary Kay, who, you know, mouthpiece of the Browns, typically, you know, it just.
356
00:35:33.000 --> 00:38:00.000
It would be really easy for them to distance themselves from him right now because one, it's bad PR because everybody's talking about Shador, wants to see Shador, and nobody likes Deshaun Watson, so it would be easy for them to stay mum and just not talk about it. So the fact that they're coming out and intentionally delivering that message tells me that I think there is some idea in the building that he will play for them at some point and is maybe a part of at least the mix of what's going to be here for the next year or two. You know, I think I heard other local guys talking about this today, that we're talking more about this just being kind of the, you know, as his professional career goes on, development wise, like it makes sense to have an agent in the event anything does come up and to continue building his portfolio and just make sure he's doing things the right way, which probably, given his experience to this point, he would say he wished things maybe had gone differently to this point, and maybe an agent would have steered the ship differently for him. So I don't think it's interesting anything that, like, should cause panic for Browns fans and Shador fans especially right now. I'm sure there's actually a. Probably a large contingent of Shador fans that would like to see the Browns moving on from Shador and have him get a chance to play somewhere else, but. Yeah,
but I. I guess I'm just not looking that far into it right now. I mean, I get it. I get what the noise. Because it does suck that he's kind of sitting behind desean. Everybody kind of thought he'd be playing at this point, and he isn't. And really no end in sight. I also don't know that, like, this isn't a good thing for Shador. Not the agent or anything else, but just him not playing at this point because we just saw that offensive line surrender eight sacks. We know there is no running game to be found here yet. This team has a lot of young players and a lot of young talent, and it's trending in the right direction, but they're not there yet. So maybe when this is more of a finished product and maybe once we get beyond, like, the bye week, if desean starts to falter and doesn't play that well, it would be a better, more advantageous position for him to come in and maybe finish the season on a strong note with a group that is gelled and building some chemistry together, especially with this young wide receiver room. So I just. I think, like, patience is a virtue for him at this point. I think, you know, stay the course, let these things play out. We talked on a recent show about guys like Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, like, guys that had the chance to kind of sit and hold the clipboard, like, do the stereotypical. Prototypical quarterback development trail, and it worked out for them.
357
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:01.000
Yeah.
358
00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:22.000
So I just. But from. From just the. The story about an agent, like, I don't know. I. I don't know that it's. I don't. I think it's really easy to talk about Shador Sanders because no one wants to talk about Deshaun Watson, and we don't anticipate him being a part of the future. And Shador is a much bigger story. He gets media clicks. He gets, you know, reels watched. So I Think it's easy to talk about him?
359
00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:41.000
Yeah. So I got a couple things here. One that, that last part is, is it's, it's just amazing and it's just furthers that, that narrative. Like literally he doesn't have to do anything out of the ordinary. He just does anything and everybody writes a story about it as soon as he does it. Yeah. So that's just wild.
360
00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:45.000
But I mean, if Jaleel McLaughlin had signed an agent this week, nobody would it be news?
361
00:38:45.000 --> 00:40:16.000
No, nobody cares. And number two. Number two, who does? Anyways, my second point here is just that I, I tend to think kind of the opposite of what, what the speculation is is. I'm almost thinking he. To your point, the Browns have said that he's developing well. They, they're happy with his development under Todd Monkin and where he's at right now. And on the flip side of that, you look at the crop of quarterbacks coming up and how as time goes on, they're not looking as shiny as they once did. You know, there's not that clear cut, number one guy in the draft anymore that you want to chase after. And so if that's the case, maybe there's starting to be a shift internally with the Browns where they're like, you know, maybe that's the route we take because we don't like the quarterbacks in next year's draft. And in turn, if that's being even, even slightly portrayed to or relayed to Shador Sanders, maybe he's gearing up for like his next contract with the Browns potentially, where he's like, you know, I could be coming in, in a good situation next year compared to where he was last year with the team and playing with them, where we do have a young roster, a young talented roster, we're kind of more established under Todd Monkin. Things are going well. Like everything's going in the right direction now. I come in and take over and things can go well. And now you're gearing up for another contract.
362
00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:47.000
I think that's a really good point too because I think the conventional wisdom is you're on your rook and there's nothing to do right now. But I think that if you are looking towards the future, knowing you're not maybe going to play for a little while here, but you are on a deal that's going to keep you in Cleveland presumably, and you will get the chance to play at some point, you want to start building that relationship with your agent so that when that time comes, either to be dealt Maybe way into the future or to rework your next contract. You don't want to be doing that at the last minute.
363
00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:48.000
Right.
364
00:40:47.000 --> 00:41:14.000
I think that would be. Be the fail in that scenario is if, I mean, let's say he gets the reins next year and comes out and has an awesome season and is the brown starter for the foreseeable future. You don't want to be going into your, your final contract, you're scrambling to find an agent and going, hey, like we got to start working to make sure that we can get me the best deal possible because it looks like I'm going to be here a while. Like that would be a fail to not be prepared for that moment.
365
00:41:14.000 --> 00:41:15.000
Yeah.
366
00:41:15.000 --> 00:41:18.000
Bone, any thoughts on this?
367
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:38.000
I mean you guys listed a lot of variables there, so I think it just makes practical sense to have an agent. I was just like curious how many players in the NFL have agents? Mostly it literally said 100%. It said there might be like three or four high profile players who might not. I mean it was like Lamar Jackson, Roquan Smith, Bobby Wagner, Lamy Tunsil was a few that were named that didn't.
368
00:41:38.000 --> 00:41:40.000
But, but it's a handful out of
369
00:41:40.000 --> 00:41:42.000
the hundreds and I don't know, thousands of NFL players.
370
00:41:42.000 --> 00:41:51.000
Well, you're an NFL player. Do you want to, I mean you're supposed to be working your craft to being the best you could be. Do you actually want to sit there sifting through the details of contract?
371
00:41:51.000 --> 00:41:57.000
So as you said,
yeah, having an agent really isn't that big of news. But since it's Shador Sanders, it's, it's, it's huge news.
372
00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.000
Yeah, well.
373
00:41:58.000 --> 00:42:24.000
Yeah, well. And I think, right, like when you look at guys like Andrew Barry and the guys that are in this front office. Guys and gals. Sorry, the people that are in the front office, a lot of these guys are, especially in the Browns front office, Harvard educated lawyers. Like, do you want to be a kid that's fresh out of college trying to negotiate a contract or do anything? Like that's just not your world. Right. Like you have enough on your plate as an athlete to believe you went through the draft.
374
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:42.000
Like, and I guess that's why this is even a little bit of a story. But like it again it just like at some point it makes more sense to get an agent like there. So there's never going to be good timing of it if you do it anywhere within that first contract. I guess like there's always going to be the speculation and I think it's
375
00:42:42.000 --> 00:43:23.000
probably a sign of Maturity and growth. Because again, I think he probably is looking at his career to this point going okay. Something didn't go quite right here. I mean, I went from being maybe a first round pick to barely getting selected. Now I'm not getting playing time or even practice reps, you know, and there was, there was, I think higher expectations from everyone in his camp, especially that he would be playing at some point. And the fans are clamoring to see him and you know, they want to sell legendary shirts and pants and shoes and everything else. So I think it's probably just a sign of growth that he's. Somebody got to him, whether it was his dad or whether, you know, he's tight with Travis Hunter. Maybe that conversation, those conversations prompted him
376
00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:49.000
to say that's the other thing is he signed with Travis Hunter's agent. So like sense, maybe they were just hanging out one day and Travis Henner and they literally had a conversation that went like this. Like Shador Sanders starts talk to him like, oh, we're talking about like potentially this is the path that may happen with the Browns. What are we going to do next? You know, as far as the next cop, contract, whatever, you know, what do you think, Travis? I don't know. I don't deal with that stuff. I have an agent and I think,
377
00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:50.000
I think the final.
378
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:53.000
That's he's like, that sounds like a good idea. I should probably. Yeah.
379
00:43:53.000 --> 00:44:13.000
I think the final piece of this that people probably aren't thinking about enough is one is, well, is everybody is talking about contract and everybody's talking about this playing time. An agent does a lot more than that for you, right? When you're talking about endorsement deals and future contracts. And so again, if they're seeing long term futures here,
I will get a chance to play.
380
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:14.000
Play.
381
00:44:13.000 --> 00:44:20.000
You want to have all your guys in place so that when Snickers calls or auto Trader calls or whoever calls,
382
00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:30.000
even, even the local car dealerships and all that like that, you think Shador has time to just go out there and like sift through all his phone calls from dealerships and everything? Like all these other opportunities, I mean
383
00:44:30.000 --> 00:45:11.000
deals like that to get done with your progressives of the world and your allstates of the world and your bud lights of the world, they go through their agent. Those don't happen overnight. They don't just call you and they're like, hey, you want a bag full of cash? Cash and we'll put you on tv. Like, no. Like those things are negotiated, pre negotiated well ahead of time. And so if you have an agent that can start making those phone calls, putting out those feelers, hey, this guy's a hot commodity. He's going. We already know he gets clicks. He's popular with fans. When he gets the chance to play, you're going to want to capitalize on this. Those things have to happen ahead of time. And I think that's probably more or less what makes sense just, again, objectively, rationally, for Shador at this point, other than. Rather than I need to get out of Cleveland or I need to find a new place to play. Play.
384
00:45:11.000 --> 00:45:16.000
Yeah. After I just said I think. I think that's legitimately what happened. He was hanging out with Travis Hunter in the off season or whenever, and
385
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:18.000
he was like, probably playing FIFA, they
386
00:45:18.000 --> 00:45:35.000
were talking about, like, all their different endorsement deals or whatever the case may be, and Shador was like, yeah, negotiating this, doing this, whatever. And Travis Hunter's like, I don't do that stuff. So anyways, next up here, Harold Fannin Jr. Or as Bone likes to call
387
00:45:35.000 --> 00:45:37.000
him, Harold Fanning, Dakota Fanny's brother.
388
00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:44.000
Yeah. Leads all NFL tight ends and wide receivers with five points. Point three yards of separation.
389
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:48.000
An average of 5.3 yards of separation.
390
00:45:48.000 --> 00:45:51.000
That's like a mile in the NFL, a country mile.
391
00:45:51.000 --> 00:45:57.000
The windows are so small, but this guy is wide open every time. And Deshawn apparently can't think about that.
392
00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:07.000
If he has 5.3 yards of separation, that's like, in any direction. So that's like. Yeah, he has. You got a 10.6 yard window to throw into.
393
00:46:07.000 --> 00:46:08.000
It's a big diameter.
394
00:46:08.000 --> 00:46:09.000
Yeah. It's wild.
395
00:46:09.000 --> 00:46:17.000
And that's an average. Right. So there's sometimes there's some place. There's some plays where he is covered, and that means on some place, he has 7, 8, 9, 10 yards of separation.
396
00:46:17.000 --> 00:46:18.000
That's insane. Is.
397
00:46:18.000 --> 00:46:26.000
Is there just like two or three, like, outliers that just, like, blew his radius up or something? You know what I mean? Like, on a broken play where it
398
00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.000
was just like, got to think yards of separation.
399
00:46:28.000 --> 00:46:32.000
So I think it's. It's. It's measured on, like, routes that he's run where somebody's trying to cover.
400
00:46:32.000 --> 00:46:35.000
And you got to think other receivers have those same outliers.
401
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:36.000
Right.
402
00:46:35.000 --> 00:46:48.000
There's other times where guys are just wide open for no reason or blown coverage. Right. So they would be. It's all part of the same sample size. So either he's A, not a part of the game plan or B, should desean can't see him.
403
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:49.000
Yeah.
404
00:46:48.000 --> 00:46:57.000
Yeah. Well, and that was my next question. It begs the question, why not more receptions and why not more yards? Especially with, like you said, Casey Concepcion going down this week. So.
405
00:46:57.000 --> 00:47:02.000
Well, you would have thought, at least in the jets game, like, he would have been a huge part of. Instead of trying to flex the ball,
406
00:47:02.000 --> 00:47:16.000
especially if KC was supposed to be the focal point of the offense this week, which it looked like it was going that way. He had touched the ball several times already on that first drive. And so from there, you have to shift somewhat somewhere. Why not shift to the guy that's wide open on every play and that's
407
00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.000
been in practice all week?
408
00:47:17.000 --> 00:47:42.000
Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. Next up here, desean Watson had Isaiah Bonds back after everyone talking. Fans were upset with him because of the drops this past week. So he kind of came out. I don't. I don't know what the quote was exactly, but it was along the lines of, like, look, he. He played hard for us. He stepped up. He didn't get a lot of reps in practice week before, but he did his job and he did what we need him to do. We were in that game partly because. Because of Isaiah Bond.
409
00:47:42.000 --> 00:48:11.000
He basically said, like, KC was a big part of the game plan, and he got all the reps this week. And so for Isaiah Bond to step up the way he did is encouraging. Which, look, there's. There's not a lot of leadership qualities that we've seen about DeSean Watson in his time here in Cleveland. I thought this was kind of a nice shred of humanity that he displayed to at least go to bat for his teammate. Because Isaiah Bonds had a rough week. There were a lot of people mad about the. The big drop, especially at the end of the game. Guys, drops, drops happen. I.
410
00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:24.000
And I just want to throw this out there. Like, I understand. Like, I was mad in real time, too, because you're an NFL receiver, but at the
same time, like, it. It wasn't just raining. It was like, torrential downpour the entire game. Like, it was just a tsunami.
411
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:25.000
Well, right.
412
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:26.000
And.
413
00:48:25.000 --> 00:48:27.000
And. And, like, I don't like it either. Right. I don't like it when I run.
414
00:48:27.000 --> 00:48:29.000
He wasn't the only one that dropped ball.
415
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:30.000
Like, that was my.
416
00:48:29.000 --> 00:48:31.000
Most teams were dropping balls.
417
00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:38.000
Denzel Boston dropped the ball. I think we got away with it because there was a PI. On. On it, but he still dropped the ball that was in his hands. I think Jerry Judy dropped the ball. So, like, other guys were dropping balls.
418
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:39.000
And.
419
00:48:39.000 --> 00:49:03.000
And it was across Both teams, because it was really, really rainy and poor conditions for a passing offense anyway. But I, I think the other thing is, is what are your expectations for Isaiah Bond? Because the last time I checked, he wasn't signed to be a possession guy. He was signed to be the stretch the field guy. Right. Like his role in this offense up until this point has been, I'm a mismatch, I'm a speed guy. I'm gonna take the top off.
420
00:49:03.000 --> 00:49:04.000
Yeah.
421
00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:21.000
And you know, you get those targets one, two times a game. You're not the guy that's running crossers, trying to move the chains. Like, that's just not even his game. So the fact that you' thrust into that situation, thrust and, and, and start your, your all of a sudden, the whole offense, like it's a tall order for anybody.
422
00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:22.000
And he's short.
423
00:49:22.000 --> 00:49:23.000
He's short.
424
00:49:23.000 --> 00:49:24.000
So yeah, it's tough.
425
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:41.000
I just think like people were really hard on him for, for no reason this week. Like, I, I, I don't like it either that he dropped a big pass, but come on, guys. Like, it's Isaiah, but it's not Justin Jefferson out there. No, it's Isaiah Bond and he, and he was the leading receiver for the team this week.
426
00:49:41.000 --> 00:49:58.000
World beaters here in Cleveland. We get, you know, drop a ball, get him out of here, get him out of here. Anyways, you, we, you know, that whole point of that was Deshaun Watson and his leadership. While Deshaun Watson and Quinn Sean Judkins were fined for a smoking gesture that they made when celebrating a touchdown this past week.
427
00:49:58.000 --> 00:50:00.000
Two things. I think it's soft on the NFL.
428
00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:07.000
Yeah. I mean, I'm jokingly saying this in contrast with the leadership things. I think it's stupid.
429
00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:15.000
No, agreed though, but I, but I also think there is a scientific point there which is just a general laugh. Lack of self awareness by Deshaun Watson again. Right on.
430
00:50:15.000 --> 00:50:18.000
Judkins. I'll throw him in there too. He's had his run in with the, with the law as well.
431
00:50:18.000 --> 00:50:37.000
So I mean, you just got to be smarter than that. Right? Like, it's just they're, they're, the league sends memos all off season long, all season long. Here's the things you can do. They, they literally litigate the type of socks and the colors of socks that they're allowed to wear on game day. Right. So like, you know, if you do things that are outside the bounds, you're going to get fined and with everything
432
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:40.000
else, like you're, you shouldn't do anything Wrong.
433
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:48.000
Yeah, just. Just don't. Just don't do it. Right. I mean, in this case, it wasn't like it led to a personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, so they didn't
434
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.000
catch it on the field.
435
00:50:48.000 --> 00:50:49.000
So.
436
00:50:49.000 --> 00:51:00.000
But, you know, it's still. It's still dumb. And it's one of those things that if you were one of those guys that does have a history, especially disciplinary league history, like, what do you just. Just stop doing dumb stuff.
437
00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:24.000
Just don't do it. But that'll be all for the Browns brief. Let's go ahead and get into the division roundup. All right, so for the division roundup, we'll start with Cincinnati. They beat the dolphins 31, 24. I'm still in my survivor league, Kenny. Are you?
438
00:51:24.000 --> 00:51:27.000
No. Dallas really got me this week.
439
00:51:27.000 --> 00:51:32.000
We were all right there. That wasn't a hard one to pick. I don't know why you didn't go with them, but to be fair, like
440
00:51:32.000 --> 00:51:37.000
the DraftKings guy said, Dallas had a 99% probability of winning this week, so
441
00:51:37.000 --> 00:51:51.000
he really lost you that one. He did. Next up, Baltimore beat the falcons in overtime, 30 to 23. We were all wrong there. We all picked the Falcons knowing that Lamar Jackson was going to be out. So to be fair,
442
00:51:51.000 --> 00:52:00.000
Kevin Stefanski was kind of delivered in that moment by the 734th injury to Michael Penck, which really just kind of messed everything up there.
443
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:12.000
So fair. Next up, Pittsburgh beat the Colts soundly, 34 to 22. I was the only one that was wrong here. This is that Jekyll and Hyde.
444
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:13.000
It feels bad.
445
00:52:13.000 --> 00:53:06.000
It does feel bad. Just shut your mouth. Shut your mouth over there. But this is the Jekyll and Hyde we keep talking about. Like, it. I have no idea who I'm getting each week here, so good job on you guys picking, right? But I. I feel like I am so confused on who these teams are right right now. And then finally, Cleveland lost to the Jets, 17 to 12. Real dumb score, by the way. And we were all wrong. So for the AFC north standings, they are as follows. Baltimore is at 4 and 1, Cleveland's at 3 and 2. Pittsburgh's at 3
and 2, Cincinnati's at 3 and 2. And then the current king of the north standings, you and Kenny, you and Bone are tied at 10 and 8. And I am way behind right now, which feels really bad. I'm starting to. Starting to pucker up a little bit here, but I'm at 7 and 11. I've never been this far under 500 ever. In King of the North. So I'm pretty scared.
446
00:53:06.000 --> 00:53:07.000
The gap is widening.
447
00:53:07.000 --> 00:53:13.000
I don't know how you do this week in and week out every year, just being last place constantly.
448
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:15.000
Somebody has to.
449
00:53:15.000 --> 00:53:45.000
Well, it's me right now, and I don't like it. So with that, let's take a quick trip around the NFL. All right, first up here, Bill's defensive lineman Bradley Chubb got punched in the face by a Larry Johnson of the Rams or Jackson alert. Jackson of the Rams. So did you guys see this?
450
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:46.000
Yeah.
451
00:53:45.000 --> 00:53:52.000
Pregame, postgame, was it post game? Post game. They're just like talking at midfield and then all of a sudden just pop.
452
00:53:52.000 --> 00:54:01.000
Yeah. I mean, it was an emotional end to that game because the Rams had the thicker kicker, missed a field goal.
453
00:54:01.000 --> 00:54:05.000
He's fired now. I didn't even put that in the. Around the NFL, but he's fired.
454
00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:08.000
And then Josh Allen led them down the field and in a surprising move,
455
00:54:08.000 --> 00:54:11.000
thicker kicker got fired and then he got exposed for being a Gooner.
456
00:54:11.000 --> 00:54:15.000
That's true. Yeah. He's apparently following a lot of Instagram models.
457
00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:16.000
Sorry, go on.
458
00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:28.000
But. But it was kind of. I mean, it was just a dramatic end to that game where LA really kind of thought they were going to win and then had stolen defeat from the jaws of victory there.
459
00:54:28.000 --> 00:54:29.000
They really browsed it up.
460
00:54:29.000 --> 00:54:43.000
They really browsed it up. So I don't know what was said or what happened because it otherwise looked like relatively calm after the game, but those two were definitely getting into it. And I just, again, general lack of self awareness. Like, you can't. You can't swing a closed fist in the NFL ever.
461
00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:44.000
You shouldn't punch me.
462
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:45.000
So bad idea.
463
00:54:45.000 --> 00:54:53.000
Yeah. Jackson suspended two games there. So next up here, Marvin Harrison Jr. Has been traded to the Texans and reunites with C.J.
464
00:54:53.000 --> 00:54:55.000
stroud.
465
00:54:55.000 --> 00:54:57.000
Didn't see this coming.
466
00:54:57.000 --> 00:54:59.000
Yeah. Interesting.
467
00:54:59.000 --> 00:55:21.000
This whole. His whole journey with the Cardinals has been interesting because it feels like. I just don't know how you go from being that good to basically nothing happening for you with the offense. Like, I feel like there's a disconnect. Like it's. I don't think it's all like, he's that bad. I think there has to be a disconnect with the team or the coaches or whatever the case may.
468
00:55:21.000 --> 00:55:35.000
Haven't had very good quarterbacks. You've had head coach turnover, and it's just not an organization that, I mean, they had a little run with with Fitz there and Kurt Warner, but otherwise, like, it's not like it's an overly successful NFL franchise.
469
00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:38.000
They're basically the Browns of the West.
470
00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:39.000
Yeah.
471
00:55:39.000 --> 00:56:04.000
Kind of. Interesting move, though. Interesting timing for the Texans at 1 and 4. It's not like they're blowing anybody's doors off. I mean, maybe that's part of the reason they feel like they needed help on offense. And maybe there will be some chemistry there with C.J. stroud. We'll see. But I don't know. I mean, I would. I like. You don't. To your point, like, you don't forget how to catch the football or how to be a wide receiver. So something is off in the chemistry there.
472
00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:06.000
Yeah. Next up here.
473
00:56:06.000 --> 00:56:07.000
There.
474
00:56:07.000 --> 00:56:09.000
Bony. You have any thoughts on Marvin Harrison?
475
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:10.000
No.
476
00:56:09.000 --> 00:56:18.000
I'm excited for him. I think it. I don't think it's going to hurt. I don't know. I would expect him to have a bigger impact with the Houston Texans.
477
00:56:18.000 --> 00:56:21.000
The familiarity with C.J. stroud is going to help him.
478
00:56:21.000 --> 00:56:23.000
I would have liked to have him here.
479
00:56:23.000 --> 00:56:38.000
Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Anyways, next up here, there are eight teams who have won zero or one game. The Rams are two and three. Currently, the Browns hold pick number 17, and the Rams pick is number 13.
480
00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:46.000
Yeah, I mean, a lot can change, obviously, between now and the end of the year, but I think this is a very different reality than most Browns fans had planned for. Everybody's had their eye.
481
00:56:46.000 --> 00:56:48.000
I mean, the Rams are Super bowl favorites.
482
00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:59.000
Everybody's had their eye on a quarterback in the draft. And all of a sudden, even if you combine both of those picks, you're probably not getting to one or two or even three. Maybe three.
483
00:56:59.000 --> 00:57:00.000
I don't think you're getting a three.
484
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:01.000
But.
485
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:08.000
But that. I mean, top five seems like a virtual impossibility at this point. And like you said, some of those teams are over.
486
00:57:08.000 --> 00:57:11.000
So,
487
00:57:11.000 --> 00:57:31.000
I mean, again, thinking about all the tumblers falling into place, like, are the Browns going to continue on some path with the Sean Watson? Does Shador need an agent? Because things are coming and he's going to get to play. It feels like
quarterback would be a reach for the Browns at this point in the draft. And unless things change considerably between now and then.
488
00:57:31.000 --> 00:57:46.000
Yeah. And speaking of the Rams and that trade, we'll go to the Miles Garrett tracker. Just because we haven't done it yet this season. Miles Garrett still injured. So a plan. Yeah. That's where Myles Garrett is.
489
00:57:46.000 --> 00:57:48.000
Aaron Donald is, though.
490
00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:53.000
Yeah. And while we're. While we're on trackers here, let's flip things over to the Kevin Stefanski tracker.
491
00:57:53.000 --> 00:57:54.000
Oh, boy.
492
00:57:54.000 --> 00:58:08.000
Atlanta lost again. People Thought Kevin could coach for a minute. Kenny set him straight in the live recording on. On Sunday night after the game. He had a big lead in this one and blew it and lost. And we're right back where we always have been. Kevin's not a very good coach.
493
00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.000
Kevin Stavanski sucks.
494
00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:17.000
And, you know, basically what I gathered was that they need to get better, and they will get better.
495
00:58:17.000 --> 00:58:21.000
They need to coach better, play better, do all the things better.
496
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:24.000
And they will get better, and they will do it eventually.
497
00:58:24.000 --> 00:58:25.000
Eventually.
498
00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:31.000
Yeah. So next up here, Caleb Williams is looking like he's back for the Bears. I'm. I'm thinking I'm back.
499
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:32.000
I'm thinking I'm back.
500
00:58:32.000 --> 00:58:40.000
And this is after being carted off a couple weeks ago with that devastating Grade two hamstring strain.
501
00:58:40.000 --> 00:58:41.000
Hurt his back.
502
00:58:41.000 --> 00:59:02.000
Yeah. Wasn't good. So I think he's going to be back this week. Next up, growing debate around Colts owner Carly Ursay Gordon. Gordon being on the sideline and listening on the headset and taking notes during games. Anybody have thoughts on this? I just. Yeah. So, I mean, what are you guys thoughts on. On Carly Ursay Gordon?
503
00:59:02.000 --> 00:59:46.000
I can't even figure out why this is a debate at all. I mean, she owns a team. Jim Ursay obviously was a longtime owner. She's new to that with his passing. But to me, this just feels like information gathering. Gathering. I don't think she's on the sideline calling plays or making decisions. She's just shadowing to get a better understanding of her, her coaches, how they're managing the games. I think this all help you make more informed decisions as you move on. And you maybe have to make coaching decisions to understand how one guy does it versus another, how they're reacting in critical moments of the game. And, and you're signing the checks. So I think at the point that you pay for it all, you pretty much get to do whatever the hell you. You want.
504
00:59:46.000 --> 01:00:05.000
Yeah, well. And I, I just, I mean, yeah, 100. But I also just like, you don't think a couple things. You don't think these other owners have the same information? Like, just because she likes to gather it real time, like the other owners, I'm sure have access to that same information. They're just gathering it in a different way. So what does it matter how they're getting the information?
505
01:00:05.000 --> 01:00:11.000
I mean, I'd like to think that if Jimmy Haslam were on the field for the last 10 years, he might have done things differently.
506
01:00:11.000 --> 01:00:13.000
Yeah, well, hearing.
507
01:00:13.000 --> 01:00:17.000
If he'd have been hearing Kevin's. The Stefanski's thought process exposed him a lot earlier.
508
01:00:17.000 --> 01:00:28.000
Yeah. This is one of my other thoughts, though, is Jimmy Haslam bought an NFL franchise because he's super rich from something else.
509
01:00:28.000 --> 01:00:30.000
Yeah, it's a toy.
510
01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:35.000
Carly Ursay Gordon was born and raised in football.
511
01:00:35.000 --> 01:00:36.000
Yeah.
512
01:00:35.000 --> 01:01:12.000
Like, this is all she knows. This is what she does. She grew up in the organization, around the organization. She was there all the time. Time. Like, she loves football, first of all. And second, she said, even though she, she, she admitted, she said, even though I love football, I have a lower level understanding of it. I have a basic understanding of it. And so, like, if this is how you can, you know, learn on the fly and kind of entrench yourself as far as having it just around you at all times to kind of learn by osmosis almost, why would you not do that again?
513
01:01:12.000 --> 01:01:16.000
I'd like to think that if Jimmy Haslam were doing that, he would have done things differently.
514
01:01:16.000 --> 01:01:27.000
And so back to Jimmy Haslam, like, he has this other stuff. He ain't got time to stand on the sideline every Sunday to, To sit there and listen everything. He, like, to your point, he probably would benefit from it.
515
01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:28.000
Yeah.
516
01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:30.000
But he has other things going on.
517
01:01:30.000 --> 01:01:42.000
I mean, I think it's kind of cool, to be honest. Like, I just, I don't know. I. As long as she's not interfering with game day operations, I don't see what the, what the harm is in her listening and getting a better understanding of everything that, that she's paying for.
518
01:01:42.000 --> 01:02:00.000
Right. Well, and I guess to further that, like, if something does go catastrophically wrong and you're like, why the would you do that? I have a fifth grade understanding of football and I know not to do that. Like, at that point you could hold people accountable and say, like, what is wrong with you?
519
01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:01.000
Yeah.
520
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:06.000
So I don't, I don't know. Like, I just, I think it's much to do about Much Ado about nothing.
521
01:02:06.000 --> 01:02:07.000
Much Ado about nothing.
522
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:11.000
Yeah, it's. And again, she's the owner. Who gives a shit? Like, it's her team.
523
01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:15.000
Yeah. That's the way I look at it. I'm like, if it's. If you're signing the paychecks, like I
524
01:02:15.000 --> 01:02:22.000
think you get to do, if you guys don't want her roaming the sidelines, why don't you go buy the team and you can sit up in your box and not. And not go down on the sideline?
525
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:27.000
I mean, if I owned the Browns, you can bet your ass I'd be Down, like be involved in everything.
526
01:02:27.000 --> 01:02:28.000
Hell yeah.
527
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:29.000
All the time.
528
01:02:28.000 --> 01:02:37.000
Hell yeah. So, yeah, I just, I don't know. Just. Just one of your thoughts on it. Because it does seem to be gaining steam like every week. Everybody's mad about her being on the sideline.
529
01:02:37.000 --> 01:02:53.000
I think partly too. And like, I don't want to go down like gender and sex thing, but. But I do think because she's a female, it draws more eyes than like when Arthur Blank is on the sidelines for the Falcons, which he is often. Yeah, Like I just for whatever reason, like, she draws more eyes.
530
01:02:53.000 --> 01:02:54.000
She's.
531
01:02:54.000 --> 01:03:01.000
She's not only a female, she's a younger female. Like, I just, I don't know if that's part of what's playing into people asking questions about it.
532
01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:08.000
I think that's legit because, yeah, it's. It's just like an Arthur Blank or Robert down on the sidelines.
533
01:03:08.000 --> 01:03:10.000
Different than seeing an 80 year old man down there.
534
01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:26.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't know. Just whatever. Anyways, next up here, tweets of the week from Antonio Brown. This has become a thing, I guess, but there was Antonio Brown tweets. There were some more good ones this week. Kenny, what do you have for us?
535
01:03:26.000 --> 01:03:38.000
So in response to Odell Beckham Jr. Signing with the Vikings, Antonio Brown writes stolen more checks than daycare owners in Minnesota.
536
01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:39.000
This is his new shtick.
537
01:03:39.000 --> 01:03:51.000
He's a chemist. Median. What's the next one here? College chicks are so effing hot. I mean, so hot. Hotter than before.
538
01:03:51.000 --> 01:03:57.000
What is this in response to? Like, these. It's been like six weeks in a row.
539
01:03:57.000 --> 01:03:58.000
I think it was like college game day.
540
01:03:58.000 --> 01:04:01.000
Camera guys are getting caught zooming in on.
541
01:04:01.000 --> 01:04:28.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Also, the FBI needs to investigate Madison Beer's box for draining Herbert's football powers. Like, it is Space Jam. There was one more World. Wow. The other one. Go. There was one more really good one. I can't find it. This one I get. Maybe it wasn't worth the wait. If Hulu and Disney plus are combined, why do I still have to pay for both?
542
01:04:28.000 --> 01:04:30.000
That's a fair question. That's a fair question.
543
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:31.000
Yeah, yeah.
544
01:04:31.000 --> 01:04:34.000
So those are your tweets of the week from our good friend Antonio Brown.
545
01:04:34.000 --> 01:04:40.000
It is weird. They like combined them into one one app, but in order to have access to the one, you still have to pay for both.
546
01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:42.000
Yeah, I don't understand either.
547
01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:51.000
I think also it ruined the Disney plus app. Like, the Disney plus app was so simple and now that they brought everything else into it, it's really complicated.
548
01:04:51.000 --> 01:04:56.000
And I think in my case, I think I'm paying for Hulu twice and Disney plus, so you need that.
549
01:04:56.000 --> 01:05:00.000
I'm not doing great advertising for the thing that goes and searches all your.
550
01:05:00.000 --> 01:05:03.000
All my apps, turns off my subscriptions.
551
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:04.000
You need that?
552
01:05:03.000 --> 01:05:05.000
I do need that.
553
01:05:05.000 --> 01:05:16.000
And then my last note of the. Of our trip around the NFL, the Eagles offense is ass. So that's all I got, is just really ass.
554
01:05:16.000 --> 01:05:18.000
Yeah. Agreed.
555
01:05:18.000 --> 01:05:29.000
I saw a thing the other day that Saquon Barkley owners are among, like, they have, like, the worst records of everybody in fantasy football this year.
556
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:30.000
Yeah.
557
01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:31.000
So feels bad for those guys.
558
01:05:31.000 --> 01:05:32.000
Jalen Hurts is hot and cold.
559
01:05:32.000 --> 01:05:36.000
Yeah. Luckily I had another quarterback on my roster because he's one of my dudes
560
01:05:36.000 --> 01:05:38.000
and he's one of my dudes.
561
01:05:38.000 --> 01:05:44.000
He's not my dude this year. He's really bad. But, yeah, that's it. So, Kenny, you know what it's time for?
562
01:05:44.000 --> 01:05:45.000
No idea.
563
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:46.000
Let's do an interview.
564
01:05:46.000 --> 01:05:53.000
All right. What do you say we interview you?
565
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:54.000
All right.
566
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:54.000
Yes.
567
01:05:53.000 --> 01:05:57.000
That's a sometimes useful exercise. Please put your hand in.
568
01:05:57.000 --> 01:05:58.000
Go ahead.
569
01:05:58.000 --> 01:06:03.000
How much money do you make a year before taxes?
570
01:06:03.000 --> 01:06:05.000
I'm actually not comfortable answering that.
571
01:06:05.000 --> 01:06:06.000
Come on.
572
01:06:06.000 --> 01:06:11.000
We're doing the interview now, not you. Okay.
573
01:06:11.000 --> 01:06:28.000
All right. For this Browns backers interview, please help me welcome, hailing from Corner Bar in Austinburg, Ohio, the president of the 440-Browns backers, Jared. Jared, thank you so much for joining us. How are you today?
574
01:06:28.000 --> 01:06:31.000
Hey, I'm doing good, man. How are you guys?
575
01:06:31.000 -->
01:06:39.000
Good. Good, good. Listen, I understand you guys are a newer chapter. Why don't you tell us a little bit about your chapter out there?
576
01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:47.000
Yeah, so actually we started up during the COVID season. In the 2021 season.
577
01:06:47.000 --> 01:06:49.000
We.
578
01:06:49.000 --> 01:07:37.000
We started up very small. We. We grew into a larger chap. Wasn't the president of the chapter at the time. Someone else was doing it. They decided to step down and step away. I decided to step in and step up. I took over as the 440-Browns backers and we became official with the Cleveland Browns in 2023. We are located out in Austinburg, Ohio. It's about. About. It's about 50, 55 minutes east of Cleveland. Take Route 90 all the way east. You keep going past Geneva out there in Austinburg.
579
01:07:37.000 --> 01:07:40.000
Not quite to ash Tabula.
580
01:07:40.000 --> 01:08:04.000
Not quite. Not quite to ash Tabula. No. I love to hear the Cleveland Browns try to pronounce that during. During the off season. But no, just before Ashabulah. And we are at the one and only Corner bar. It's on the corner of Route 307 and Route 45.
581
01:08:04.000 --> 01:08:06.000
I thought it would be, like, right in the middle of a street, but
582
01:08:06.000 --> 01:08:07.000
it's not the middle.
583
01:08:07.000 --> 01:08:08.000
Right on the corner. Right?
584
01:08:08.000 --> 01:08:10.000
Makes sense. Yeah, corner makes sense.
585
01:08:10.000 --> 01:08:43.000
Right. Right on the corner. Right on the corner. No, it's. It's been there for a while. You wouldn't expect it to be what it is, but it's a nice, welcoming bar. We. We're there every single game, whether it be Sunday, whether it be Monday, whether it be Thursday morning. Last year, we had our. Our London game. We were out there 9am we did a sausage gravy and biscuit cook off. That was great. That was. Oh, yes. Yes. There was like.
586
01:08:43.000 --> 01:08:47.000
Oh, yeah.
587
01:08:47.000 --> 01:09:07.000
Who doesn't? Who doesn't? There was at least eight or nine. Eight or nine different crock pots of sausage gravy. And we. We usually. We usually do something like that every year. Whether it be that or our. Our annual chili cook off. We're always doing something. Every game. We always meet up.
588
01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:14.000
Yeah, for sure. So. No, that's. That's awesome. How many. How many members are you guys up to?
589
01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:49.000
Well, on the Browns Backers Worldwide website, we have a. Official 73 members signed up, usually on a. On a good day. Depends on how the Browns are doing, if we're winning, losing, but we usually pack the bar. I would say we have 20 to 30 members that show up every game. We. We have the bar filled up, the bar area, the dining room areas filled up. All the TVs are on, and we have a good time.
590
01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:58.000
Nice. Do you have any. You know, obviously the Ravens are in town this week. Do you guys have any events coming
coming up?
591
01:09:58.000 --> 01:11:34.000
We have a lot of events, so once a month, we do a fundraiser for a local nonprofit in the county of Ashtabula, hence the 440- Brownsbackers. That's our area code, so we like to keep it in the county. So for just example, in a. In a. September. September, we did a fundraiser for the local dog warden out here. They just started up a new. I would say a new rescue area. And they. They just started up. So we reached out to them, asked if they needed any help, anything that, you know, could. Could be used for the dogs in the area that were in unfortunate situations. And our group pulls together. We raise money, donations, we raise blankets, we raise food, we raise toys, all kinds of things that they would need. We did that in September. We do that once a month. This month in October, we're doing a fundraiser event. For Maddox and Friends Cat rescue. They are a cat rescue in Conneaut, Ohio. That does great work. They anything that. That can be done that they try to do for cats in the area.
592
01:11:34.000 --> 01:11:38.000
And then we like helping out cats. All except for Bengals. That's the only ones we don't.
593
01:11:38.000 --> 01:12:28.000
The Bengals. Yes. Any other cats and special Jaguars earlier this year. Yeah. With November, we reach out to some sort of, you know, veteran foundation, Whether it be Save 22, the local Ashabila county veterans distribution up there in Ashabila, we reach out to them. And then in December, we tried to sponsor some families for Christmas. So we tried to do something with one, you know, one per month during the Brown season. And then every week we're doing some sort of raffle, whether it be a signed item by a current Browns member, past Browns member, or, you know, any other sorts of odds and ends Brown things that you can think of.
594
01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:54.000
Nice. Nice. No. Yeah. I love hearing the stories about different charities and everything that the Browns backers are working with because, you know, you said you have, you know, 73 members. I think you said officially, but you have 30, 40 people coming to the games and then fill in the rest of the bar and everybody coming together to give to those, you know, those charities and those causes locally is awesome.
595
01:12:54.000 --> 01:13:14.000
Yeah. So again, it just became a very good feeling to give back. Being a young person, like I am being a president of the backers, you know, it's taught me a lot, a lot of. A lot of valuable lessons on giving back to the community. It's been very rewarding.
596
01:13:14.000 --> 01:13:20.000
Speaking of you being a young person, how does one get such a position of power at such a young age?
597
01:13:20.000 --> 01:14:16.000
Well, again, I mean, when the previous president kind of just stepped away, nobody kind of took over. Nobody stepped up. And I love the Browns so much that I just. I do anything for it. You know, just the camaraderie of the fans, just. It's just something that you can't even explain sometimes. You know, whether it be the good times or the bad times, we always come together. We always, you know, have a good time. But, you know, I used to go from standing in my living room yelling at the TV to doing it, you know, with all my group members and all my friends together inside of the corner bar. So it's just. It was just me just kind of stepping up and. And just taking over.
598
01:14:16.000 --> 01:14:22.000
Hell, yeah, Jared. All them boomers say we're lazy, and that's what happened.
599
01:14:22.000 --> 01:14:55.000
I'm serious. I'm serious. No, I. I do have a good Mix of people, whether it be boomers, my group, younger people. My, My niece, she is about to turn 13 years old. She has been a, actually a key part of the group. You know, we've been teaching her the value of giving back. How to, how to kind of, you know, do things here and there. She helps out with raffles and she's going to be taken over for me once, you know, I can't do this no more in like 50 years.
600
01:14:55.000 --> 01:14:59.000
But yeah, family business. I like that.
601
01:14:59.000 --> 01:15:07.000
It's a good thing. You gotta, you gotta get them. They're young because if you wait until they grow up and can make their own decisions, they won't be a Brown.
602
01:15:07.000 --> 01:15:22.000
Well, and that's the thing. That's the thing. Not to cut you off, but her mother is a Steeler fan and, and, and yes, yes, her mother is a Steeler fan. She's the only one in the family. And luckily we brought her over to the right side.
603
01:15:22.000 --> 01:15:25.000
Oh, yes.
604
01:15:25.000 --> 01:15:26.000
Doing the Lord's work out there.
605
01:15:26.000 --> 01:15:36.000
Listen, I feel, I know some, some parents feel kind of guilty when they start their kids down the Browns road because they're like, I'm really setting you
606
01:15:36.000 --> 01:15:38.000
up, preparing you up for a lifetime of misery.
607
01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:59.000
Yeah, I can say this. I actually feel completely absolved of all of that because so far I have. I have a three year old and a one year old and a three year old. She'll watch football with me any chance she gets. And she sits there and cheers for the Browns. And I've told her multiple times, I'm like, you could cheer for whoever you want. And she always cheers for the Browns. So I'm like, hey, it's not my fault.
608
01:15:59.000 --> 01:16:02.000
Are you watching other teams with her or is she only watching the Browns?
609
01:16:02.000 --> 01:16:37.000
No, but she could cheer for the other team that's playing the Browns. And she does it. She does it. She should have learned by now, though, especially when she went through all last season with, with me. But no, yeah, it's. We give them the choice, but they. Hopefully they stick with the Browns because. But no, Jared switching gears here to the Browns from, from the community stuff and giving back and everything. So obviously there, there's. We've.
We've kind of come back down to earth this past week after starting off pretty hot.
610
01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:38.000
Where.
611
01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:49.000
Where do you think the Browns kind of end up the rest of the season? Like, do you think we're going to see more of the. The hot team that got to three and one or are we going to see more of the team that we saw this past Week.
612
01:16:49.000 --> 01:19:40.000
Okay. No, perfect. So, you know, you mentioned about that hot start, you know, so, so that after week one, you know, I'm sure most of us were like, oh, here we go again. Here's a, here's another Brown season, we're done for, you know, but after the three game winning streak and seeing Todd Monken, you know, control that locker room and take control of that team and all them young kids, you know, it gives me hope. It gives, I think a lot of us hope that, you know, hey, we might actually have a decent coach. Because at first think a lot of us too were all like Todd Monkin, okay, he was a coordinator here, coordinator there, you know, but what can he really do? You know, he's not a big name guy. So, you know, I think he took a lot of people by surprise, especially me, the way he handles himself and with the media, with the people, with the players, it was very surprising. So, you know, to see that three game win streak, to see them guys come to together, it was nice to go for four. Yeah, that, that would have been great too, to lose to the Jets. The goddamn jets. You know, you know, you can put a lot of blame on the weather, you can put a lot of blame on, you know, being on the road. But you know, that was the game we should have won. That was the game we should have won. We went back to the penalties, we went back to not scoring off eternals overs. But we're playing the Ravens this week and that's a team that is always a 50, 50 game. Luckily we're home. Actually our group, we're going to the game this week, the 4, 4 over, taking about 25 of our members and we're going to the game. So hopefully, hopefully, you know, they should show up. I just think if we, if we eliminate the penalties, if, if we continue to run the ball, we, you know, we run the ball, get some, get some, some statement on the ground and then you start, you know, play action. You know, Deshaun Watson shown that he can throw the ball. You know, we have receivers, young receivers yet, you know, and, and they shown that, that they can, they can play. You know, Denzel Boston for sure, you know, he's been a pretty good surprise. But I, you know, I think with the schedule that we have, you know, it's not a hard schedule. I think that we can, you know, have a winning season, make the playoffs and, and at least win one or two in the playoffs. You know, our team has the potential.
613
01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:43.000
Jared's throwing around the P word.
614
01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:48.000
It gets Scary when people.
615
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:49.000
Yeah.
616
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:56.000
Oh, playoff. Yeah. Playoffs and potential. I thought you're talking about potential. Like I haven't heard potential with the bronze either in a while.
617
01:19:56.000 --> 01:19:57.000
Yeah, those are both words to start with.
618
01:19:57.000 --> 01:20:07.000
P. Yeah. No, the playoffs one is, is one. That's. It got during that three game win streak, it just got started being thrown around a lot and I was like,
619
01:20:07.000 --> 01:20:08.000
oh yeah, well, it's.
620
01:20:08.000 --> 01:20:13.000
We're still like first few games of the season. Let's, let's relax a little bit.
621
01:20:13.000 --> 01:20:15.000
What?
622
01:20:15.000 --> 01:20:16.000
Go ahead, go ahead.
623
01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:40.000
Well, we, we play, we play the Ravens. If we can win that game at home, you know, then we go and we play Tennessee. Right? We can. That's a game like we should have won against the Jets. And then we play Pittsburgh again. Hey, you know, if we beat Pittsburgh once, we can beat him again. And then so on and so forth. So we keep going on these little like win streaks, you know, I can see it.
624
01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:41.000
Yeah.
625
01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:45.000
I mean, I feel hopeful and more optimistic now after talking to Jared. Yeah, I feel like he's lifted my spirits.
626
01:20:45.000 --> 01:21:35.000
J. I feel like every time we talk to the Browns backers presidents, they always lift my spirits because we have to. Unfortunately, with what we're doing, we do have to stare at like statistics and, and even if we don't recite them on our show, we, we stare at like analytics and all kinds of stuff when we're preparing for the show and some of it just doesn't look all that good picture for us. But I agree with you. I mean, something. I at least think something's happening with Todd Monkin to where he's much better than I thought he would have been coming into this and he's done a good job so far of leading that young core, like you said. So. Yeah, I think, I don't know about the P word, but I think that we'll win more games. Right now. If you had to ask me, we're going to win more games than I projected them to win before the season started, so.
627
01:21:35.000 --> 01:21:42.000
Well, it sounds like Jared thinks the Browns are going to win this weekend. So what do you have as a score prediction?
628
01:21:42.000 --> 01:22:12.000
To be honest with you, usually I go like an outrageous prediction when people ask me. I'm usually like 40 to 2 or like 38 to 3 and they're like, what? Yeah, but you know, I'm going to be more realistic. I think it's going to be a. Definitely a fight. The weather is not going to be too bad, so I'm not going to put that into factor. So I'm Going to say, I'm gonna say 24, 21 in overtime.
629
01:22:12.000 --> 01:22:13.000
Oh, oh.
630
01:22:13.000 --> 01:22:14.000
An OT game.
631
01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:19.000
I think that's the first time we've ever had a president specify that it's gonna go to overtime.
632
01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:20.000
I like it.
633
01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:23.000
Overtime. Overtime. I'm gonna say overtime.
634
01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:24.000
And, and you're.
635
01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:28.000
And without. Without Lamar Jackson.
636
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:29.000
Okay.
637
01:22:28.000 --> 01:22:31.000
Snoop Huntley. So we're getting to the rescue.
638
01:22:31.000 --> 01:22:34.000
So we're getting another
639
01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:35.000
game winner from
640
01:22:35.000 --> 01:22:37.000
our, from our kicker, huh?
641
01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:38.000
Sounds like it.
642
01:22:38.000 --> 01:22:39.000
Nice.
643
01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:53.000
Yes. Yeah. With that score, that would be a game winning field goal for sure. Smitty's been showing up. You know he. Last week it was a little rough, but you know, the weeks before, he's definitely earned my respect.
644
01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:56.000
He doesn't have to worry about his streak anymore.
645
01:22:56.000 --> 01:22:57.000
He was due to miss one.
646
01:22:57.000 --> 01:22:58.000
Right.
647
01:22:57.000 --> 01:23:00.000
I mean it's a good thing. I think it's a blessing in disguise.
648
01:23:00.000 --> 01:23:02.000
Get it done in week four.
649
01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:22.000
Yeah, I think he came up his, his late. This, this past streak that he was on, he came up like four short of Phil Dawson. Second place all time, which is Phil. Phil Dawson has top two at 29 and 27 makes in a row. And I, and I. Yeah. And I think, I think he ended up at 24 if I'm not mistaken.
650
01:23:22.000 --> 01:23:24.000
So I think you're right.
651
01:23:24.000 --> 01:23:26.000
Yeah, but that's good. But yeah, got it out of the system.
652
01:23:26.000 --> 01:23:28.000
Out of his system. Now he can, he can. No pressure.
653
01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:29.000
He can make the rest of them.
654
01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:44.000
So I like to score prediction, anything. You know, you said Lamar is not going to play anything, any, any, any, anything crazy going to happen in this game that you can predict.
655
01:23:44.000 --> 01:24:16.000
Well, besides the four, four Browns backers being there, that's going to be pretty crazy. If anyone wants to stop out and see us, we'll be at three. We'll be at section 351. But no, I think it's just going to be a, a hard fought battle. I'm gonna. Hopefully everybody stays healthy besides Lamar. Hopefully he stays sidelined and you know, we just, we just get out of there with a decent win.
656
01:24:16.000 --> 01:24:17.000
I like it.
657
01:24:17.000 --> 01:24:18.000
Yeah.
658
01:24:18.000 --> 01:24:38.000
Oh yeah. Well, Jared, we appreciate you talking with us. It's been fantastic and getting your insights on the game and your guys chapter and what you guys are doing out there. I wish we could talk to you all night. You know, I hate when we have to end these conversations so soon, but we do have like a two and a half hour show to record so.
659
01:24:38.000 --> 01:24:41.000
Yeah, I get it. It's a
long night.
660
01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:49.000
Yeah, absolutely. If we're ever up in that area in the Fourth Tabula. He's not nasty. He's not an Ashtabula.
661
01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:50.000
Not quite.
662
01:24:49.000 --> 01:24:50.000
He's an all Austenburg.
663
01:24:50.000 --> 01:24:54.000
Just before Austenburg. Yes, sir.
664
01:24:54.000 --> 01:25:01.000
That's right. If we're ever up in Austinburg before or during a game, we'll definitely have to stop in and have a drink with you guys at the corner bar.
665
01:25:01.000 --> 01:25:04.000
Please do. Please do.
666
01:25:04.000 --> 01:25:06.000
Well, hey, man, we appreciate it and we'll talk to you soon.
667
01:25:06.000 --> 01:25:07.000
Thanks, Jared.
668
01:25:07.000 --> 01:25:22.000
Thanks, guys. Go Browns. We are the 440-Browns backers, and you're listening to the burning river sports cast. Go Browns.
669
01:25:22.000 --> 01:25:26.000
Good time talking to Jared from Brownsbackers.
670
01:25:26.000 --> 01:25:27.000
J Rod.
671
01:25:27.000 --> 01:25:31.000
He was. He had a lot to say. I liked how much he talked about what their chapter does.
672
01:25:31.000 --> 01:25:35.000
Yeah. Yeah. He spent a lot of time going through all their stuff. They do, obviously, work with a lot of.
673
01:25:35.000 --> 01:25:38.000
I like that they rotate their charities every month. That's pretty cool.
674
01:25:38.000 --> 01:25:53.000
Yeah, that is neat. That's unique. We don't hear that a lot. So good on them. And it was a good time getting to know them in their chapter. So if you're in the area, if you're in Ash Tabula or near Ash Tabula or near Geneva or.
675
01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:54.000
Yeah, you'll get it eventually.
676
01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:55.000
Go to the corner.
677
01:25:55.000 --> 01:25:56.000
He called it Awesomeburg.
678
01:25:56.000 --> 01:25:57.000
Awesomeburg. Yeah.
679
01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:58.000
Yeah.
680
01:25:58.000 --> 01:25:59.000
Way better than Pittsburgh.
681
01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:07.000
Pittsburgh sucks. Shitsburg. And we talked about a little bit with Jared, but I think it's time to dive into this week's game with the Week 5 preview.
682
01:26:07.000 --> 01:26:18.000
The famous Week 5 preview.
683
01:26:18.000 --> 01:26:25.000
All right, guys, Got another division game this week. It's the Ravens. Kenny, you know what it's time for?
684
01:26:25.000 --> 01:26:38.000
Is it time for Kenny's Cliffs Notes? Is it Cliff Notes or Cliff's Notes? I still don't know. I ask every week and I have no idea.
685
01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:42.000
You must not be able to read because it's right behind you on the screen.
686
01:26:42.000 --> 01:26:44.000
But is it Cliff's notes?
687
01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:55.000
Can you. Or Cliff Notes again, can you not read? Because it's very clear. It's extremely clear. Oh, you have. You have, like, prescription glasses. They're not very. They're. Your eyes are terrible.
688
01:26:55.000 --> 01:26:56.000
I do need Lasik something bad.
689
01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:58.000
Yeah.
690
01:26:58.000 --> 01:27:55.000
Kenny's Cliff Notes. The Cleveland Browns return home for a crucial AFC north showdown against my most hated rival, the old and way more successful Browns, the Baltimore Ravens. Baltimore comes in at 4 and 1 after a dramatic 30 to 23 overtime victory over Stefanski and the boys. Overtime was thwarted by, as I mentioned earlier, Michael Penix's 723rd career injury. All new coaching staff here in Baltimore with first year Head coach Jesse Mentor Mentor who did interview for the Browns job before taking the Baltimore job. Offensive coordinator Declan Doyle comes over after being the OC in Chicago last year and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver was previously with the Dolphins. The big question this week is whether Lamar Jackson will return from his ankle injury. Backup Tyler Huntley led Baltimore's comeback against the decision right so Far, throwing for 201 yards and two touchdowns while adding a rushing score. Obviously Lamar Jackson is a game changer. We know that his ability to scramble, escape pressure and turn.
691
01:27:55.000 --> 01:27:58.000
One time he went and took a poop and he was still came back and he beat us.
692
01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:36.000
He takes really good poops. His ability ability to scramble, escape pressure and turn a broken play into a big game forces defenses to account for him on every down. Tyler Snoop Huntley is a capable backup. Huntley showed composure in Baltimore's win over Atlanta. While he lacks the dynamic speed of Lamar, he can use his feet to make plays, is a good processor of information and can make almost every throw. Derek Henry is a physically imposing offensive weapon. His size and acceleration make him dangerous between the tackles and his ability to break tackles can turn a modest gain into a big, big, big play. At one point in overtime against the Falcons it literally took nine dudes to tackle him to bring him down. It was really impressive. He moved the pile for like seven yards.
693
01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:37.000
He's a big guy.
694
01:28:37.000 --> 01:28:38.000
Wow.
695
01:28:38.000 --> 01:29:08.000
Justice Hill Justice Hill if I could talk provides a change of pace and a quicker alternative to Henry and can contribute as a runner and a receiver. Zay Flowers has become an explosive threat. Rashad Bateman and devontez Walker give Baltimore a slate of downfall field options and Mark Andrews remains an important target in the intermediate passing game and near the goal line. PFF had this offensive line ranked 23rd coming into last week. They had have had some moving parts including the acquisition of two time Pro Bowler Camp Jurgens who remains in the concussion protocol.
696
01:29:08.000 --> 01:29:09.000
The Kentucky Derby huh?
697
01:29:09.000 --> 01:30:49.000
In the Kentucky Derby protocol, but the team is optimistic that he may play this week against the Browns. Namdi Matab Bouquet is an interior disruptor and vet Calais Campbell. Campbell is
Wiley. I can't talk today in Kenny's cliff notes can't Calais Campbell is Wiley like the Coyote. Trey Hendrickson and Mike Green can bring edge pressure. Hendrickson strong name is expected to return against the Browns after he got fingered. I mean hurt his finger. Jesse Mentor said Hendrickson is chomping at the bit to get out there. Frankly this fact alone makes me glad we didn't hire Jesse Minter because horses don't chomp. They champ is a word literally used to describe horses grinding their teeth. Chomp is what I do to a sub sandwich. Given the Browns recent struggles in pass protection, this is a match of Baltimore will be eager to exploit. After eight sacks a week ago, their D line will be champing at the bit. Roquan Smith is the centerpiece of Baltimore's linebacker group, gifted in run support, which won't matter because we run the ball like Forest Gump when he was still in braces. Marcus Marlon Humphrey is an experienced and physical corner, Nate Wiggins brings exceptional speed and Kyle Hamilton has become arguably their most important chess piece. He can play near the line of scrimmage, cover receivers and tight ends and disguise and bring pressure. His versatility creates mismatches all over. Kicker Tyler Loop has a boot and can hit from anywhere. Punter Ryan Eckley is a rookie and was a 2025 Big Ten Punter of the year from Michigan State. Eckley was actually a 6th round draft choice this year for the Ravens after the big departure of Jordan Stout to the Giants. Bottom line, this is a difficult matchup for the Cleveland Browns because Baltimore can hurt you in a lot of ways. Regardless of who plays quarterback, gap, discipline and contain will make it or break it. This week for the Browns, that's all I got. Go Browns.
698
01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:53.000
Go Browns. And with that was sloppy.
699
01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:54.000
Sloppy.
700
01:30:53.000 --> 01:31:02.000
I made a mess with every edition of Kenny's Cliff Notes come us another edition of Rotted Jam.
701
01:31:02.000 --> 01:31:10.000
The matchups it matter.
702
01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:14.000
All right, I'm bringing you the two most important matchups of this game.
703
01:31:14.000 --> 01:31:15.000
Two most important matchups of the week.
704
01:31:15.000 --> 01:31:17.000
In my eyes anyways. Subjective I guess.
705
01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:18.000
The ones that matter.
706
01:31:18.000 --> 01:31:24.000
Yeah. Number one, Carson Schinger. Vers Derrick Henry.
707
01:31:24.000 --> 01:31:25.000
Oh boy.
708
01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:56.000
Carson's the leader of the defense, but he is a little banged up this week. Henry is still doing King Henry things. You just mentioned him carrying like nine guys to the I don't know if it's the zone, but it was ferocious for quite a few yards. So I guess the big question here is will Schinger and company be able to slow him down? Actually it's kind of funny because the Browns, for the most part, since Derrick Henry's been with the Ravens and even when he was with the Tennessee Titans and they played him a couple times, they haven't had that hard of a time keeping him in check.
709
01:31:56.000 --> 01:31:59.000
The only one that had a hard time was Jok.
710
01:31:59.000 --> 01:32:01.000
Yeah, that's not a very good joke.
711
01:32:01.000 --> 01:32:04.000
Was it a joke? It's a statement of fact.
712
01:32:04.000 --> 01:32:13.000
He brought his neck that's fair. But yeah, I think there's only been one game that I can remember where he had like 100, 100 plus yards.
713
01:32:13.000 --> 01:32:15.000
It's usually Lamar Jackson pooping on us.
714
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:16.000
Right.
715
01:32:15.000 --> 01:32:16.000
Yeah.
716
01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:29.000
So. But anyway, still a matchup. That matters in this one. And the next one here is Denzel Ward versus Zay Flowers. You mentioned Zay Flowers is kind of coming to his own. He's really starting to be able to do some damage on offense there.
717
01:32:29.000 --> 01:32:32.000
Todd Monken had some high praise for Zay Flowers this week.
718
01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:50.000
Yeah. And so ward and the DBs had trouble with Garrett Wilson this week past week, which was kind of alarming because they. They had a lot of trouble with them. So we got to see if they can clean that up, keep Flowers in check. And I guess my. My last note here. Will the warden lock it down on the lake? So.
719
01:32:50.000 --> 01:32:55.000
And it was a game that the defense should have had a better time in because it was difficult to pass the ball.
720
01:32:55.000 --> 01:33:07.000
Yeah. I will say this. I think a little bit of this is we don't get those serious one on ones with. At least not so far this season. We haven't seen them with Denzel Ward, like, where he just.
721
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:08.000
We're.
722
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:08.000
We're.
723
01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:13.000
Put you on the number one guy and leave you there. You shut him down and we'll take care of the rest. Well, I think some of that is play more zone.
724
01:33:13.000 --> 01:33:14.000
Philosophical.
725
01:33:14.000 --> 01:33:15.000
Yeah.
726
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:16.000
Playing more zone.
727
01:33:15.000 --> 01:33:26.000
Yeah. So. But I would like to see if that. If that becomes an issue and Zay Flower starts to, you know, really do some damage. Just put. Put Denzel Ward on him. Lock. Let him lock him up.
728
01:33:26.000 --> 01:33:35.000
So I would like to see more of that. I think Rutenberg needs to. To switch things up and run more like man on man with word specifically on their best.
729
01:33:35.000 --> 01:33:41.000
Well, you can even do like. Like different schemes and stuff where he's playing man under. Then you still got help over top. Like. Like let.
730
01:33:41.000 --> 01:34:04.000
Well, that's what they ended up doing against Garrett a little bit in that game. You know, just quick note on Mike Rudenberg. Doesn't he look like a guy that just verbalizes affirmations in the mirror to himself? Like,
before he leaves the house? Like, every time I see him, I just feel like he's like, I'm Mike Rutenberg. I'm an NFL coach. I belong in the NFL. Doesn't he look like him?
731
01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:05.000
I don't know, man.
732
01:34:05.000 --> 01:34:06.000
I don't. I don't know.
733
01:34:06.000 --> 01:34:08.000
I'm not saying he's bad or anything. I just.
734
01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:09.000
He.
735
01:34:08.000 --> 01:34:11.000
He has that look to Me like a guy that, like, self motivates in the mirror.
736
01:34:11.000 --> 01:34:14.000
Me and Bone look like that. Like, I don't really understand.
737
01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:16.000
I guess no one else sees that.
738
01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:19.000
He's manifesting his destiny.
739
01:34:19.000 --> 01:34:44.000
Yeah. Manifest destiny. Manifest destiny. Anyways, in summary here, The Ravens are 4 and 1 coming off an overtime win over the Falcons. So far this season, their defense ranks overall number 14, 325.6 yards per game. Their passing defense is number 18 at 223.6 yards per game. And their run defense is number 12 in the NFL at 1 and 20 hundred, 102 yards per game. On offense. They are the number four overall offense in the NFL. What are you looking at me like that for?
740
01:34:44.000 --> 01:34:54.000
I was just wondering if you listened to the show last week when I got you because you were like, you said the wrong number. And I was like, you said the wrong number. And you're like, no, I didn't. And then I played it back.
741
01:34:54.000 --> 01:35:47.000
I hate you. They have 394.2 yards per game on offense. Their running game is number three in the NFL at 164.4 yards yards per game. That's pretty good. And their passing is number 14 in the NFL at 229.8. For the Browns, our current record is 3 and 2. We're coming off an extremely disappointing loss to the jets so far this season, they are number 20 overall in the NFL on offense at 334 yards per game. Or I'm sorry, on defense, 334 yards per game. Passing defense, number 13. The NFL, 216.6 yards per game. Run defense is number 19 at 117.4 yards per game. And now on offense, they are number 29 in the NFL, 273.6 yards per game. Running game is at 21 at 94.2. Still haven't hit that 100. Can't eclipse that 100 yards per game mark.
742
01:35:47.000 --> 01:35:50.000
It's fascinating how they're ranked as high as they are, but I think there's
743
01:35:50.000 --> 01:35:51.000
some really bad rushing teams out there.
744
01:35:51.000 --> 01:35:54.000
To be fair, half of our rushing yards every week come from desean scrambling.
745
01:35:54.000 --> 01:36:06.000
Yeah, fair. And then on the. In the passing game, they're number 26 in the NFL at 179.4 yards per game. And in every game, there's always a way to win. So let's bring in the big bone man, because it's time for bone man.
746
01:36:06.000 --> 01:36:13.000
Skeleton key to victory.
747
01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:27.000
Well, I'll tell you what. I actually wrote something down this week. I. I think The Ravens are pretty good. I think we're gonna have a hard time with them. So I'm gonna say we need something out of the ordinary. We need a kick return, a punt return, a pick six, a strip sack, a scoop and score.
748
01:36:27.000 --> 01:36:29.000
Give us a lot of options.
749
01:36:29.000 --> 01:36:37.000
Something. Something along those lines. Something out of the ordinary. Something to get us some points on the board that maybe we didn't particularly earn to keep us in the game.
750
01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:40.000
So what you're saying is the standard X's and O's won't cut it.
751
01:36:40.000 --> 01:36:42.000
I don't think it's going to be enough this week.
752
01:36:42.000 --> 01:36:44.000
They need a wild card.
753
01:36:44.000 --> 01:36:46.000
I like that. Yeah. Wild card.
754
01:36:46.000 --> 01:36:47.000
Isn't that a thing?
755
01:36:47.000 --> 01:36:48.000
I don't know.
756
01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:49.000
I don't think so.
757
01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:54.000
I think that's. I think it's. I think there's a sound card
758
01:36:54.000 --> 01:36:57.000
and that is my key to victory.
759
01:36:57.000 --> 01:37:04.000
I don't want to say. No, that's not a thing because then you're going to put a sounder in. That's exactly what I said it was. But anyways. Kenny, what's the betting info this week?
760
01:37:04.000 --> 01:37:05.000
You want some betting info?
761
01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:06.000
I do.
762
01:37:06.000 --> 01:37:19.000
I got some betting info. Line is Brown's home dog. Ravens minus four and a half, over under 41 and a half. I feel like the over under has been 41 and a half every week for the last four weeks.
763
01:37:19.000 --> 01:37:22.000
Hold, please.
764
01:37:22.000 --> 01:37:25.000
One week it was 40 and a half, but I think it's been right around that number every week.
765
01:37:25.000 --> 01:37:28.000
I didn't write it down last week when you told us so. I don't know.
766
01:37:28.000 --> 01:37:33.000
Excellent. Bo wrote it down and you didn't.
767
01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:34.000
I hate you.
768
01:37:33.000 --> 01:37:34.000
I killed him.
769
01:37:34.000 --> 01:37:39.000
Players to watch. Kenny, who you got?
770
01:37:39.000 --> 01:37:56.000
Let's go. Running back by committee, I'd like to say Quin, Sean Judkins. This. This running game needs to get going. It is the final component to this offense where we've seen Deshaun Watson mildly competent and the receiver room has been decent other than getting. Taking a nap on the field.
771
01:37:56.000 --> 01:38:01.000
The craziest thing is when they've even threatened to be competent. We've won games, right?
772
01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:34.000
Right. It hasn't been overly impressive, but it's been good enough. But the running game has not been good enough all year long. So whether it's Quin Shawn taking snaps, whether Dylan Sampson gets activated this week, or whether we literally roll into this game with Aldrich estimate and Jaleel McLaughlin like that's all eyes on the backfield. Because this,
this running game has to change. It's something Todd Monkin is Kind of blown off all offseason. Blown off into this. Blowing them off. Little sloppy Top Todd. Sloppy Top Monkin new nickname. But
773
01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:40.000
I'm activated and I'm ready to go.
774
01:38:40.000 --> 01:38:48.000
But this running game has to. I mean it has to get going. So I don't know who the mix is. I don't know what the secret sauce is. But Todd Monken literally was his all year long been like, the running game is going to be fine.
775
01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:49.000
We're going to.
776
01:38:49.000 --> 01:39:10.000
It'll be fine. We're going to get figured out. It'll be efficient. It's be great to be fine. Todd. It's not fine. The triage this like er, DEFCON 1. This is as bad as it gets. And it has to improve if this team is going to continue to win football games. Because the way they've been winning is ugly. But it's been getting the job done, but it's just not sustainable. So that run game has to get going one way or the other.
777
01:39:10.000 --> 01:39:13.000
Not as ugly as you phone. What do you got?
778
01:39:13.000 --> 01:39:15.000
I'm gonna say Harold Fanning.
779
01:39:15.000 --> 01:39:18.000
You Harold Fanning killed his brother.
780
01:39:18.000 --> 01:39:20.000
Yeah, I. I said in.
781
01:39:20.000 --> 01:39:24.000
I don't think so.
782
01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:27.000
I was even thinking about in my head. I'm like, I'm gonna say it correctly this time.
783
01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:28.000
No chance.
784
01:39:28.000 --> 01:39:45.000
I think maybe it's just my, my southern draw. You guys are. Accent. Accent, whatever. Yeah, you guys already talked about his yards of separation as far as the NFL. He leads the NFL. So let's get him the ball. And we're gonna need him to have a big game.
785
01:39:45.000 --> 01:39:47.000
So Harold Fanon and he's my fantasy type.
786
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:48.000
Hey, he said it right that time.
787
01:39:48.000 --> 01:39:49.000
I need him to get involved.
788
01:39:49.000 --> 01:40:16.000
Yeah, I'm gonna go Denzel Ward. I mentioned earlier in my matchups that matter, matchups that matter. I'm gonna double down here. I think if we really want to get after the quarterback, you need to put him on Zay Flowers at least it doesn't have to be every play but a decent amount during this game. And for Zay Flowers to actually get open like put some pressure there, hopefully that gives the. The front seven enough time to get to the quarterback and get some sacks in this one.
789
01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:23.000
So yeah, I think that's been one pleasant surprise this entire season is the amount of pressure. Pressure that this, this defensive front.
790
01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:24.000
I agree.
791
01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:37.000
And they would get more, I think if we played a little bit less that. I mean, who knows? But I'm just saying, I think if you let Denzel Ward cook in the defensive backfield, I think you get more sacks because you have a guy locked down for longer.
792
01:40:37.000 --> 01:40:51.000
Well, again, I think it's a question less, more of like philosophy. Right. Like, I think they're wanting to play zone to soften things up and make coverage easier. But the thing is, is if your defensive line is still creating pressure, then the quarterbacks don't have time to throw and make decisions. So you can play man up and and you'll be okay.
793
01:40:51.000 --> 01:41:12.000
Agreed. So Denzel Ward's my player to watch. That'll do it for the Week 5 preview. Let's go ahead and get in the gassed up. Kenny, I hear you're gassed up about several things.
794
01:41:12.000 --> 01:41:14.000
I I've got a couple this week gassed up about.
795
01:41:14.000 --> 01:41:16.000
What are you gassed up about?
796
01:41:16.000 --> 01:41:41.000
So we'll just start checking them off, crossing them off the first here. There's been a lot of noise this week about the post season guardians ticket prices. People are pissed off because the tickets are expensive. They're 3, 4, $500 a seat. If you're sitting in prime seating, maybe even more. But I guess what I got gassed up about was like guys like of all the times to complain about tickets,
797
01:41:41.000 --> 01:41:47.000
ticket prices, you're in the playoffs is an extremely limited number of tickets.
798
01:41:47.000 --> 01:42:00.000
And look, I want the average fan to be able to afford to go to a game. But I also, if I'm just just being understanding of one, baseball is a business and the economics of it. Like, this is the one time Kevin's
799
01:42:00.000 --> 01:42:01.000
about to spill his chili.
800
01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:32.000
This is, this is the one time of year that the ownership group, this ownership group in particular, particular that we've all accused of being cheap at times, has the right to go ahead and increase ticket prices due to demand. Kevin just spelled the one thing he does really well. Yeah, but I feel like the ownership group is completely justified in charging basically whatever they want during the postseason, especially once they got out of the divisional round and are now in the alcs. Like you can pretty much charge whatever you want and people are going to show up.
801
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:37.000
Are they complaining about about the ticket prices from the owners or they play it complain about ticket prices like secondary market.
802
01:42:37.000 --> 01:42:46.000
I think they're just complaining about it in general because it's pricing out the average fan, which again, I totally understand the frustration there. But the team is in the postseason and now they're deep in the postseason.
803
01:42:46.000 --> 01:43:06.000
I, I just. What I'm saying though is I don't think it's an argument that you have with the owners. I think that's an argument with like the, the ticket Masters and stubhubs of the world that allow these bots to go in and buy 57 tickets at a time and then resell them. But to your point, basic economic. There's a
limited number of tickets, only so many games left. The prices go way the up.
804
01:43:06.000 --> 01:43:10.000
Yeah, I just don't think it's a ma. It doesn't matter like what the reason is. The reason is they're in the alcs.
805
01:43:10.000 --> 01:43:11.000
So and here's the deal.
806
01:43:11.000 --> 01:43:16.000
You as the ownership group, who is, who's getting the revenue off of the game, like you can charge whatever you want.
807
01:43:16.000 --> 01:43:23.000
Here's the deal. We, we are considering going to game this week and not that they're the most fantastic seats, but 117 a ticket, that's not that bad.
808
01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:24.000
Yeah.
809
01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:58.000
Upper deck seats are still 100 a ticket. So like I think the average fan that is a like a die hard blue blooded baseball fan, you probably can, can squeeze the 99 bucks out of somebody for a seat if you really wanted to be there. But they're not going to have any trouble selling out that stadium. Even at 3, 4, $500 a seat in the, in the lower bowl, people are going to pay that because I mean when's the last time we were this deep? I mean it's been 10 years since they went to the World Series. Right. So like this isn't a situation that happens every year. We're so fortunate to be in a baseball team town that has a franchise and one that is good.
810
01:43:58.000 --> 01:44:05.000
Yeah. We talk about the Guardians all the time and how they're good and I mean they're the most, in our opinion, one of the most well run organizations.
811
01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:20.000
Club super successful every year. Farm systems, great. Like they're, they're the model of what you can do. So I just, I just think the ownership group has the right to charge whatever they want here. And I don't really have any sympathy for people that are complaining about the ticket prices in the postseason.
812
01:44:20.000 --> 01:44:21.000
There's a hundred regular season. Sure.
813
01:44:21.000 --> 01:44:26.000
There's 160 games during the regular season that you can go get tickets for.
814
01:44:26.000 --> 01:44:31.000
If tickets were $300 during a regular season when there's 81 home games. Yeah, I'd be pissed.
815
01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:34.000
I still do that District ticket. It's. You get a beer and. Right.
816
01:44:34.000 --> 01:44:36.000
Like 10 bucks or 15 bucks or whatever it is.
817
01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:37.000
Yeah.
818
01:44:36.000 --> 01:44:40.000
But the postseason, yeah, all, all bets are off.
819
01:44:40.000 --> 01:44:41.000
What else are you guys speaking of?
820
01:44:41.000 --> 01:44:48.000
The Guardians. Guardians split the first two games of the series. A lot of heat coming Jose Ramirez's
821
01:44:48.000 --> 01:44:49.000
way for game two.
822
01:44:49.000 --> 01:45:05.000
For game two with the air led to three run down the third baseline. I just, I just can't hear it. Literally the game before, we were all having conversations about building a statue for a guy that is still playing. Jose Ramirez is arguably the greatest Indian guardian of all time.
823
01:45:05.000 --> 01:45:08.000
I don't even think it's arguable anymore. I think he's head and shoulders above anybody else.
824
01:45:08.000 --> 01:45:15.000
I mean the guy's won like six or eight silver sluggers. Like he's a Hall of Fame. He's a Hall of Famer through, in throughout like every single year he's in
825
01:45:15.000 --> 01:45:19.000
the, the, the, was the MVP talks or whatever.
826
01:45:19.000 --> 01:45:47.000
So yeah, like in, in for a team that's not always a part of like the, the conversation. Right. Like they've been maybe half the time. But the fact that he's in the conversation at all on a team sometimes it's underperforming is super impressive. He's just fantastic and he's earned so much goodwill and so much credit. That one error in a critical moment. I, I can't just write the guy off. I. He doesn't owe anybody and apology or an explanation. It was a bad play. I'm sure it's haunting him face the
827
01:45:47.000 --> 01:45:49.000
rest of the game. It was haunting him the entire game.
828
01:45:49.000 --> 01:45:50.000
Yeah.
829
01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:51.000
But.
830
01:45:50.000 --> 01:45:58.000
Yeah, I just can't hear it with like. People are like. I saw so many social media posts that were like, Jose cost us the game. Well, you wouldn't be here without Jose, period.
831
01:45:58.000 --> 01:45:59.000
You don't be anywhere close.
832
01:45:59.000 --> 01:46:00.000
Full stop.
833
01:45:59.000 --> 01:46:00.000
Yeah.
834
01:46:00.000 --> 01:46:25.000
So it was guessed about those two things. Final thing, culturally, I was gassed up this weekend because I was listening, listening to a college football show and they were talking about a particular college football game. So the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns every year play in the Red river rivalry.
835
01:46:25.000 --> 01:46:26.000
That's it.
836
01:46:26.000 --> 01:46:30.000
For 105 years it was the Red River Shootout.
837
01:46:30.000 --> 01:46:31.000
Huh?
838
01:46:31.000 --> 01:46:39.000
The Red River Shootout. That's what this rivalry has been known. Known as. But we cannot say shootout anymore.
839
01:46:39.000 --> 01:46:40.000
It's much easier to say than we
840
01:46:40.000 --> 01:46:48.000
have to say rivalry or showdown or matchup. And I was just like, are we really. Are we really that sensitive?
841
01:46:48.000 --> 01:46:49.000
Yep.
842
01:46:49.000 --> 01:46:51.000
Yes, I was just.
843
01:46:51.000 --> 01:47:12.000
Because I hadn't, I hadn't heard this before. Apparently it's been going on for some time now just due to, you know, the gun violence and sensitivity around it around college campuses especially. But it's a, It's a football game. It's a football game and we still have the shotgun offense. We still have air raid offense. Like we're going to war. This weekend we make all these references
844
01:47:12.000 --> 01:47:15.000
to this team scores 45 points. We're not allowed to say
it was a shootout.
845
01:47:15.000 --> 01:47:21.000
This seems like the hill that I don't want to die on. Like, this seems so silly to me that we can't say you're on the
846
01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:22.000
wrong side of history.
847
01:47:21.000 --> 01:47:28.000
Red River Shootout. It's a hundred year rivalry game that we've always called this. And now, now we can't. Seems really sad to me.
848
01:47:28.000 --> 01:47:30.000
Yeah, I mean, go ahead.
849
01:47:30.000 --> 01:47:35.000
No, I just, I just was, it just, it made me unnecessarily gassed up that we can't, we literally can't say.
850
01:47:35.000 --> 01:47:37.000
You're always unnecessarily gassed up.
851
01:47:37.000 --> 01:47:49.000
We had to call it a matchup or a rivalry or a showdown. Like literally the guy was talking about it. Like he almost said Red River Shootout and then he caught himself and he was like, oh, can't say that anymore. And I was like, really? We can't say that anymore.
852
01:47:49.000 --> 01:47:52.000
Like, I'm bringing it back. The Red River Shoot Shootout.
853
01:47:52.000 --> 01:48:00.000
It's already, it's a way cooler name and it's been that way forever. And all of a sudden now we can't say definitely not in Texas.
854
01:48:00.000 --> 01:48:02.000
Lost.
855
01:48:02.000 --> 01:48:03.000
There we go.
856
01:48:02.000 --> 01:48:03.000
Arch Manning.
857
01:48:03.000 --> 01:48:05.000
Not very good.
858
01:48:05.000 --> 01:48:07.000
It's, it's nowhere near as cool as the game.
859
01:48:07.000 --> 01:48:08.000
He couldn't keep up with the shootout.
860
01:48:08.000 --> 01:48:11.000
Nowhere near as cool as the game.
861
01:48:11.000 --> 01:48:12.000
Agreed.
862
01:48:12.000 --> 01:48:14.000
The, the game. Greatest rivalry and all.
863
01:48:14.000 --> 01:48:15.000
Ohio against the world.
864
01:48:15.000 --> 01:48:16.000
Yeah. Hell yeah.
865
01:48:16.000 --> 01:48:18.000
That's all I had. Nobody else has guessed about it.
866
01:48:18.000 --> 01:48:24.000
I, I mean, I, I, I just totally agree with you. I think it's good. Pretty really annoying.
867
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:25.000
Shoot out.
868
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:25.000
Shootout.
869
01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:25.000
Shootout.
870
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:26.000
Shootout.
871
01:48:25.000 --> 01:48:26.000
Shootout. Shootout.
872
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:27.000
Shootout.
873
01:48:26.000 --> 01:48:28.000
I just, we just, we literally can't
874
01:48:28.000 --> 01:48:29.000
try and stop me.
875
01:48:29.000 --> 01:48:30.000
We can't say words anymore.
876
01:48:30.000 --> 01:48:33.000
You're definitely getting canceled.
877
01:48:33.000 --> 01:48:39.000
It's, it's just so sad that it's come to this. That we, we would take something that's 100 years old and we're like, can't say it.
878
01:48:39.000 --> 01:48:41.000
I've been trying to tell you can't
879
01:48:41.000 --> 01:48:43.000
say that for years.
880
01:48:43.000 --> 01:48:46.000
That you're on the wrong side of history.
881
01:48:46.000 --> 01:48:48.000
Based on what?
882
01:48:48.000 --> 01:48:59.000
Based on your attitude. I can't believe you would say shoot out even though I just said it like eight. But you know, whatever I was guessing. I'm more gassed up about people being mad at Jose Ramirez.
883
01:48:59.000 --> 01:49:01.000
Yeah, screw that crowd.
884
01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:03.000
Yeah. I still say put a statue up for him right now.
885
01:49:03.000 --> 01:49:04.000
Yeah, put it in my basement.
886
01:49:04.000 --> 01:49:07.000
Like, I'll do the statue. You guys want to commission me?
887
01:49:07.000 --> 01:49:09.000
No one wants to commission you.
888
01:49:09.000 --> 01:49:12.000
You mean one of those Browns guys that doesn't move bronze? I mean.
889
01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:13.000
Yeah.
890
01:49:12.000 --> 01:49:14.000
And then you scare people.
891
01:49:14.000 --> 01:49:16.000
Oh, yeah, yeah.
892
01:49:16.000 --> 01:49:17.000
Las Vegas street performer.
893
01:49:17.000 --> 01:49:18.000
Yeah.
894
01:49:17.000 --> 01:49:20.000
I don't think I could impersonate Jose Ramirez. I think that's frowned upon.
895
01:49:20.000 --> 01:49:22.000
I think you could be a Browns guy and a bronze guy.
896
01:49:22.000 --> 01:49:25.000
Oh, that might be looked at like. Yeah, I get it now.
897
01:49:25.000 --> 01:49:26.000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't think so.
898
01:49:26.000 --> 01:49:28.000
If you're fully bronze, though. Kind.
899
01:49:28.000 --> 01:49:31.000
Yeah, it's like shootout definitely getting canceled.
900
01:49:31.000 --> 01:49:32.000
We're all getting canceled.
901
01:49:32.000 --> 01:49:33.000
Too much bronze or get you canceled.
902
01:49:33.000 --> 01:49:44.000
Anyways, we're done with gas stuff. It's time for King of the North.
903
01:49:44.000 --> 01:49:45.000
All right.
904
01:49:44.000 --> 01:49:50.000
In case anyone doesn't know by now, this is our year long afraid North Pickham competition. At the end of the season, whoever comes in last place gets punished.
905
01:49:50.000 --> 01:49:51.000
Punished.
906
01:49:50.000 --> 01:50:06.000
In the preseason three years ago, Kenny had a gross of eggs thrown at it by fans. The muni lot before a game. In the preseason two years ago, Kenny at his hair and beard. Shaved, shaved clean off. Last season, Kenny down the patch the first time in almost 20 years and got hit three times by our guy, Big John Hughes.
907
01:50:06.000 --> 01:50:07.000
Okay, I'm better now.
908
01:50:07.000 --> 01:50:12.000
Okay. And still to come this season, for losing last year, Kenny will be getting
909
01:50:12.000 --> 01:50:14.000
a Brazilian wax Man Zillion.
910
01:50:14.000 --> 01:50:29.000
Man zillion. And the loser of this season's punishment is to be decided. But guess what? Next Monday's episode or next Thursday's episode, we have to have it because we announced the winner. We said we have to have it by the winner of the Browns jersey.
911
01:50:29.000 --> 01:50:30.000
The.
912
01:50:30.000 --> 01:50:31.000
The Bernie Kozar jersey.
913
01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:35.000
Yes, the Bernie Kar jersey. That is not Bernie Kozar's jersey, but it is a Bernie Kozar jersey signed by Bernie Kar. Yeah.
914
01:50:35.000 --> 01:50:42.000
So we're announcing that on Sunday. So promptly after that, on Thursday's episode, we will announce what the punishment is going to be.
915
01:50:42.000 --> 01:50:51.000
Maybe the loser should have to have a physical, A health checkup. I mean, turn your head and cough and full prostate exam.
916
01:50:51.000 --> 01:50:52.000
Full prostate.
917
01:50:52.000 --> 01:50:54.000
I mean, we're getting to be about that.
918
01:50:54.000 --> 01:50:55.000
Fingers in the room.
919
01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:57.000
We should probably get that done and
920
01:50:57.000 --> 01:50:58.000
hit your healthcare provider.
921
01:50:58.000 --> 01:51:04.000
So if they tell you that you're not quite of age yet, do you just be like, nah, I want it.
922
01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:05.000
Want my.
923
01:51:04.000 --> 01:51:06.000
I insist on having my.
924
01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:10.000
I want to make sure. What have you lost? We got your prostate check. They found something and we saved your life.
925
01:51:10.000 --> 01:51:12.000
Oh, man, what a story.
926
01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:13.000
Yeah.
927
01:51:12.000 --> 01:51:13.000
Yeah.
928
01:51:13.000 --> 01:51:17.000
Maybe that's what it'll take for this podcast to finally go viral.
929
01:51:17.000 --> 01:51:21.000
Yeah, we save someone's life for that being the punishment.
930
01:51:21.000 --> 01:51:24.000
I mean, we'd have to find like a actual physician to like.
931
01:51:24.000 --> 01:51:29.000
Like your family, you know, I don't think they'd let you film. That's. There's all kinds of HIPPA laws against.
932
01:51:29.000 --> 01:51:30.000
You might just have to.
933
01:51:30.000 --> 01:51:32.000
As long as everybody is.
934
01:51:32.000 --> 01:51:34.000
If it. No, if it has to be filmed, you can't do that.
935
01:51:34.000 --> 01:51:36.000
Yeah, well, it has to be filmed as a punishment.
936
01:51:36.000 --> 01:51:37.000
I just don't know that.
937
01:51:37.000 --> 01:51:41.000
I'm not saying we're gonna like. We would put you behind like a curtain. Like we could only see your face.
938
01:51:41.000 --> 01:51:42.000
I know, but I'm not gonna show.
939
01:51:42.000 --> 01:51:46.000
I'm not gonna show penetration on national tv.
940
01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:49.000
Thank you. I don't think that this is allowed is what I'm saying.
941
01:51:49.000 --> 01:51:51.000
I think it's. I think it's allowed if everyone's agreed.
942
01:51:51.000 --> 01:51:53.000
I don't know. I mean, we can look at.
943
01:51:53.000 --> 01:51:55.000
It's not a violation if you divulge it yourself.
944
01:51:55.000 --> 01:51:58.000
I'm a okay with it. I just don't know that'll fly.
945
01:51:58.000 --> 01:52:01.000
I just want to see your butt penetrated on live tv.
946
01:52:01.000 --> 01:52:03.000
It's weird to say that.
947
01:52:03.000 --> 01:52:07.000
Weirdest thing I've ever heard, guys. In case
anyone was wondering, it would
948
01:52:07.000 --> 01:52:09.000
be a King of the north first.
949
01:52:09.000 --> 01:52:19.000
Yeah, I guess they. They got. This year they're going to get around your taint next year they'll get in someone's tank. But anyways, we'll. We'll put a table that.
950
01:52:19.000 --> 01:52:20.000
For now.
951
01:52:20.000 --> 01:52:28.000
Yeah, we'll tenant it. We'll downstairs for sure next week. But anyways, whatever's going to happen. I know that I'm in last place right now, but it's going to happen to Kenny.
952
01:52:28.000 --> 01:52:31.000
We don't. What if we find a not real doctor to grab your balls and finger your butt?
953
01:52:31.000 --> 01:52:35.000
I don't like this. Let's go ahead and get into things. Not those things.
954
01:52:35.000 --> 01:52:36.000
Dress him up as a doctor.
955
01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:53.000
First things first. I want to remind everyone that I am the reigning defending king of the North. Kenny or clown. Let's remind everyone of our current records after week four, Bone and Kenny here at 10 and 8. Yes, I know. I'm in last place at 6, 7 11. 7 11. This is not good. I feel bad. I feel real bad.
956
01:52:53.000 --> 01:52:54.000
You should.
957
01:52:54.000 --> 01:53:02.000
Let's get into this week's games. Pittsburgh heads to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers. Kenny, who you got?
958
01:53:02.000 --> 01:53:32.000
Pittsburgh. Coming off a convincing win over the Colts, Tampa surprised a lot of folks, including myself. Smacking around the Cowboys with the rookie quarterback Jalen. Jalen Daniels. Is that right? The Browns beat both of these teams, so I don't know how good either of them are. Man, I guess I'll go Pittsburgh here. I think their defense is a tough, tough matchup for rookie quarterback. Possible Baker comes back this week. Not sure. Either way, I'll go. I'll go Steelers. I hate.
959
01:53:32.000 --> 01:53:35.000
I did just look it up and it said probably not. I hate Baker.
960
01:53:35.000 --> 01:53:37.000
I hate picking Pittsburgh, but I'll go Steelers.
961
01:53:37.000 --> 01:53:50.000
Yeah. With Baker. Especially with Baker Mayfield being out through. Thanks for that, Bone. I'm gonna have to go Pittsburgh in this. As much as I hate to say that, I just don't trust a rookie quarterback against a Pittsburgh.
962
01:53:50.000 --> 01:53:51.000
He played pretty well against Dallas.
963
01:53:51.000 --> 01:53:55.000
I understand, but Dallas is Dallas. They have a history of just letting everyone down.
964
01:53:55.000 --> 01:54:10.000
What surprised me most was his. His mobility and decision making for a rookie. Getting his. He was the first rookie quarterback to start this year a game for any team. He was a really good decision maker. Didn't put the ball in harm's way, and his feet were more impressive than I anticipated.
965
01:54:10.000 --> 01:54:13.000
Yeah, it's all fair, but I just don't trust a rookie quarter.
966
01:54:13.000 --> 01:54:15.000
I mean, I agree. I picked Pittsburgh as well.
967
01:54:15.000 --> 01:54:17.000
I'm going Pittsburgh. Bone, who you got?
968
01:54:17.000 --> 01:54:21.000
I am also going Pittsburgh and. Yeah, same reasons.
969
01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:26.000
All right. And then next up, only two games this week in the division because Cincinnati is on.
970
01:54:26.000 --> 01:54:27.000
Tough week for you to catch up.
971
01:54:27.000 --> 01:54:34.000
Shut the hell up. The Browns try to bounce back in Cleveland as they host the Ravens. Bone, who you got?
972
01:54:34.000 --> 01:54:38.000
I am going Ravens, but I think I'm going to change my score that I have written there. I did that the other night.
973
01:54:38.000 --> 01:54:39.000
What are you going?
974
01:54:39.000 --> 01:54:46.000
Let's go Ravens 27, Browns 20.
975
01:54:46.000 --> 01:54:48.000
All right. And Kenny, who you got?
976
01:54:48.000 --> 01:54:55.000
Look, this defense gives him a chance in every game, but I'm. I'm really worried about this offense after eight sacks last week.
977
01:54:55.000 --> 01:54:56.000
That's a lot of sacks and only
978
01:54:56.000 --> 01:54:58.000
throwing for 150 pounds.
979
01:54:58.000 --> 01:55:00.000
Much better defensive front this week.
980
01:55:00.000 --> 01:55:19.000
Baltimore's offense has just in general been much more productive. Obviously, we don't know what's going to happen with quarterback just yet. Lamar Jackson's kind of a next factor, but if Tyler Huntley starts again, he's capable. I just. I just like Baltimore's chances better than Cleveland's here. I. I'll go Baltimore 2317.
981
01:55:19.000 --> 01:55:21.000
Damn it.
982
01:55:21.000 --> 01:55:23.000
As much as I'd love to pick the Browns at home.
983
01:55:23.000 --> 01:55:32.000
Yeah, I would love to pick the Browns at home, too. But again, all of these teams in the AFC north are Jekyll and Hyde. I have no idea what I'm going to get at any given time.
984
01:55:32.000 --> 01:55:34.000
If they had beat the jets, it would have been easier to pick them this week.
985
01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:53.000
Yeah, I have no idea what I'm going to get at any given time, but because of that, I almost have to fall back on conventional wisdom. And conventional wisdom tells me that the Ravens are going to beat the Browns. So I'm going to go Raven. There will be no change this week. I'll still be losing when we come back next week for King of the North. My score in this one. I'm going to go.
986
01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:55.000
It's a beautiful thing.
987
01:55:55.000 --> 01:56:14.000

No better.
999
01:57:49.000 --> 01:57:50.000
What.
1000
01:57:50.000 --> 01:57:51.000
What could Be better in.
1001
01:57:51.000 --> 01:57:54.000
You know what's starting to grow on me is space facts.
1002
01:57:54.000 --> 01:58:10.000
Space facts are really good. Yeah, no, there's a movie up there and. And ocean facts on this on the shelf with our. Our dearly departed WrestleMania 6. Oh, that's up there too. But I should do WrestleMania facts soon. That would be good, but no. Our old friend Heath Ledger.
1003
01:58:10.000 --> 01:58:21.000
Knight's Tale. One of the greatest pieces of cinema you'll ever see. So today there's also the 1999 cinematic masterpiece the Mummy, starring Brennan Fraser and Rachel Weiss.
1004
01:58:21.000 --> 01:58:27.000
There. I saw that. There's a fourth one in production with Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weiss returning.
1005
01:58:27.000 --> 01:58:29.000
I wonder if it'll be a masterpiece.
1006
01:58:29.000 --> 01:58:34.000
Yeah, probably. So I do have some medieval.
1007
01:58:34.000 --> 01:58:37.000
Oh, yes. These are actually good. I like this. I like this. I'm a history guy.
1008
01:58:37.000 --> 01:58:38.000
Heath Ledger in a nightstand.
1009
01:58:38.000 --> 01:58:40.000
Bones. A history guy. He's a history teacher.
1010
01:58:40.000 --> 01:58:41.000
Love it.
1011
01:58:41.000 --> 01:58:43.000
True. He was once at least number one.
1012
01:58:43.000 --> 01:58:48.000
I teach history to all the line workers.
1013
01:58:48.000 --> 01:58:50.000
Number one, animals.
1014
01:58:50.000 --> 01:58:51.000
Oh, yeah. This was a broad subject.
1015
01:58:51.000 --> 01:59:17.000
Could be put on trial for murder. Medieval European courts sometimes prosecuted pigs, rats, horses, bulls and other animals. Animals accused of killing humans and sometimes unattended infants could be formally tried, sentenced to, even executed. Some animal trials involved legal officials, witnesses, and elaborate proceedings. Often they were represented by a court appointed lawyers and subjected to standard methods of execution like public hanging, burning at the stake, or mutilation.
1016
01:59:17.000 --> 01:59:22.000
Medieval people were so stupid. Like, they're just so dumb.
1017
01:59:22.000 --> 01:59:33.000
Yeah, he used to just kill those pigs. Yeah, like, pigs surprisingly killed in like a high frequency of infant children in the medieval times for whatever reason. I don't. I get. A lot of people just had pigs.
1018
01:59:33.000 --> 01:59:36.000
Well, people just laid their kids in hay and then pigs laid on top of them.
1019
01:59:36.000 --> 01:59:39.000
That could be. Yeah, so that was number one.
1020
01:59:39.000 --> 01:59:41.000
Pigs are a little aggressive too, so.
1021
01:59:41.000 --> 01:59:42.000
Yeah.
1022
01:59:42.000 --> 01:59:43.000
Especially bores.
1023
01:59:43.000 --> 01:59:46.000
Yeah. See, Trying to tell you, number two. Number two.
1024
01:59:46.000 --> 02:00:23.000
Medieval manuscripts are full of knights fighting snails. In the margins, illuminated manuscripts in the margins of medieval books, Artists drew armored knights confronting enormous snails, sometimes on foot and sometimes on horseback. In many cases, the knight is shown losing, dropping his sword, or kneeling in defeat. The best part is no one knows why or what they mean. And with no written explanations, historians still debate over what the images meant. Theories include satire, symbolism, and jokes that modern readers just have simply lost context for.
1025
02:00:23.000 --> 02:00:36.000
I don't understand. My first thought when you're saying this is like, like when. When modern readers read these, did they just change the snails to dragons? Is that where that came from?
1026
02:00:36.000 --> 02:00:47.000
Very possible. I mean, they're very clearly mollusks. Like, there is no ambiguation between, like,
1027
02:00:47.000 --> 02:00:52.000
did modern people see that? They're like, what the is this? Let's just throw a dragon in here.
1028
02:00:52.000 --> 02:01:18.000
Maybe. Maybe that's where Tolkien got it and all the rest. Dragons are way cooler than snails. Number three. Doctors sometimes diagnosed you by examining your pee. Medieval physicians inspected urine's color, smell, consistency, and even taste. In some medical traditions, patients or their servants brought
samples in a specialized transparent glass flask called a matula. The flask had.
1029
02:01:18.000 --> 02:01:20.000
A
1030
02:01:20.000 --> 02:01:41.000
flask had a round bladder, like bottom, so the doctor could swirl and hold it up to the light easily. Urine charts or wheels became popular diagnostic tools. They believed these observations could reveal what was happening inside the body, although their conclusions often missed the mark. For instance, sweet urine often indicated the beatus.
1031
02:01:41.000 --> 02:01:44.000
Oh, yeah.
1032
02:01:44.000 --> 02:01:45.000
Yeah.
1033
02:01:44.000 --> 02:01:45.000
That's how they knew.
1034
02:01:45.000 --> 02:01:48.000
I'm just going to repeat what I said earlier. Medieval people were so stupid.
1035
02:01:48.000 --> 02:01:50.000
Good.
1036
02:01:50.000 --> 02:01:51.000
Let me taste this.
1037
02:01:51.000 --> 02:01:52.000
Let me.
1038
02:01:51.000 --> 02:01:53.000
Oh, it's quite pungent.
1039
02:01:53.000 --> 02:01:54.000
Quite.
1040
02:01:54.000 --> 02:01:58.000
Quite tasty. And that, my friends, is facts. Facts for days.
1041
02:01:58.000 --> 02:02:00.000
I'm so glad I don't live in medieval.
1042
02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:01.000
Medieval facts.
1043
02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:03.000
Great facts.
1044
02:02:03.000 --> 02:02:06.000
Would you have liked to live in medieval times?
1045
02:02:06.000 --> 02:02:13.000
Probably not. I mean, the odds are that you'd be a poor farming peasant and you wouldn't have any rights and that I.
1046
02:02:13.000 --> 02:02:15.000
I'd be a. I'd be a knight because I took it.
1047
02:02:15.000 --> 02:02:19.000
And you'd have to take the tip of a sword. That's the only way to take it.
1048
02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:20.000
Yeah, just.
1049
02:02:19.000 --> 02:02:20.000
Or I die trying.
1050
02:02:20.000 --> 02:02:26.000
Fighting sword to sword or ax to sword or knife to knife, like, that just doesn't sound appealing.
1051
02:02:26.000 --> 02:02:41.000
I always think that when I watch Gladiator, that very first scene when they conquered the Germanic tribe and they just like the way that we used to go to war. I mean, even in, like, the Patriot watching, like, the Revolutionary war, just standing 20, that was even crazier because you're.
1052
02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:43.000
You're like 30ft away from each other. You're just like.
1053
02:02:43.000 --> 02:02:46.000
It's just a whole nother lever, a whole nother level of terror.
1054
02:02:46.000 --> 02:02:55.000
You know, I mean, just the courage it would take to stand there and just like. But the thing is, is a lot of people survived. Like, a lot of times the bullets missed.
1055
02:02:55.000 --> 02:03:02.000
Yeah, like. Like smooth war. You're talking about, like, the patriot and that kind of, like, I would. I would definitely not stand there.
1056
02:03:02.000 --> 02:03:03.000
Yeah.
1057
02:03:03.000 --> 02:03:13.000
Like this coward. Like, at least with. With medieval times, I'm like, I kind of control my own destiny here. If I get really good at knife fighting, then I might Be okay.
1058
02:03:13.000 --> 02:03:19.000
I mean, can you imagine? I mean, just the amount of people that died by just bronze and steel just jabbed through you.
1059
02:03:19.000 --> 02:03:20.000
Probably like a quarter of them.
1060
02:03:20.000 --> 02:03:21.000
A lot.
1061
02:03:21.000 --> 02:03:22.000
Quarter of the people.
1062
02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:29.000
I mean, it says at the beginning of Gladiator, what does it say? Like, it says like a quarter of the world's population lived under the Caesars and died under the Caesars.
1063
02:03:29.000 --> 02:03:36.000
Hey, bonus fact. While we're talking about medieval times, did you know the. The black plague or whatever, the. The. The major plague?
1064
02:03:36.000 --> 02:03:37.000
The bubonic plague?
1065
02:03:37.000 --> 02:03:46.000
Yeah, that one. It's back. Approximately 60% of the entire population of the world, gone.
1066
02:03:46.000 --> 02:03:51.000
That was actually a bonus fact in the facts that I was going to include. I didn't include it because I thought everybody knew about the bubonic plague, but
1067
02:03:51.000 --> 02:03:58.000
I. I mean, I think people don't understand nowadays how big of a number it was. Like, you imagine if half the world died right now?
1068
02:03:58.000 --> 02:04:03.000
Yeah, that'd be insane. There. There have been literally recent cases of bubonic plague.
1069
02:04:03.000 --> 02:04:04.000
I'm glad I don't have it.
1070
02:04:04.000 --> 02:04:16.000
There's like, can you imagine Covid on a scale that was. Was the bubonic plague, like something that was actually not that co didn't kill a lot of people, but like something that was way worse for you, like, physically, just the symptoms and the ailments that come along with it.
1071
02:04:16.000 --> 02:04:18.000
We would definitely not be allowed to go to restaurants.
1072
02:04:18.000 --> 02:04:25.000
No, no, that's for sure. I mean, that was mostly like respiratory. The bubonic plague. You get really, really messed up.
1073
02:04:25.000 --> 02:04:28.000
Yeah, we got long winded here, Bone. What do you think about this?
1074
02:04:28.000 --> 02:04:32.000
Yeah, Making me sleepy. You guys are boring
1075
02:04:32.000 --> 02:04:33.000
back, man.
1076
02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:35.000
Don't just called our show boring.
1077
02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:36.000
Jesus Christ.
1078
02:04:35.000 --> 02:04:36.000
Holy sn.
1079
02:04:36.000 --> 02:04:39.000
Good night. Bon appetit.
1080
02:04:39.000 --> 02:04:40.000
We must be a part of the
1081
02:04:40.000 --> 02:04:42.000
problem and don't be a part of the problem. Be the whole damn problem.
1082
02:04:42.000 --> 02:04:48.000
And only you can prevent river fires
1083
02:04:48.000 --> 02:04:58.000
burn it burning river Burn it down Like a deuce Runner in the night
1084
02:04:58.000 --> 02:05:03.000
by the light red at night we
1085
02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:06.000
all left you hanging there Good night, Cleveland.
1086
02:05:06.000
--> 02:05:07.000
Good night.
1087
02:05:07.000 --> 02:05:21.000
A quiet on set. I now have two loves in my life. Big city living and a voodoo woman named Phyllis. I didn't think we'd be getting into Brad Pitt's house.
1088
02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:25.000
I can't even say I didn't think we'd be getting into. Into Brad Pitt's ass.
1089
02:05:25.000 --> 02:05:27.000
Yeah, didn't think we'd get in there.
1090
02:05:27.000 --> 02:05:30.000
We talk a lot of analingus on this show.
1091
02:05:30.000 --> 02:05:41.000
So put your right foot in and take your right foot out. Then put your Right foot in. And shut the hell up. Because it's not time for the hokey pokey. It's time for the burning river Sports C. Motorboat.
1092
02:05:41.000 --> 02:05:44.000
You play the motorboat?
1093
02:05:44.000 --> 02:05:45.000
You motorboat?
1094
02:05:45.000 --> 02:05:46.000
Son of a.
1095
02:05:46.000 --> 02:05:48.000
You old seal. Are you. You know, I was thinking during that interview.
1096
02:05:48.000 --> 02:05:49.000
What? What were you?
1097
02:05:49.000 --> 02:05:53.000
Everything. Nothing. Because you don't have thoughts. Because you're a brainless idiot.
1098
02:05:53.000 --> 02:05:55.000
Wow. My name is Uhtred.
1099
02:05:55.000 --> 02:06:00.000
Son of Uhtred, by the way. I want my foreskin back. It doesn't matter what you think.
1100
02:06:00.000 --> 02:06:06.000
Women's Guide to. To Anal Sex. And it was the second edition. Who makes that second edition?
1101
02:06:06.000 --> 02:06:09.000
The weather outside is weather.
1102
02:06:09.000 --> 02:06:10.000
The other one. The finger. The finger.
1103
02:06:10.000 --> 02:06:11.000
Eating food.
1104
02:06:11.000 --> 02:06:13.000
Fingers. Oh, my God.
1105
02:06:13.000 --> 02:06:17.000
My ass is full of he. Everywhere.
1106
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:18.000
Yes.
1107
02:06:17.000 --> 02:06:20.000
Ejaculate all over my body and my genitals.
1108
02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:21.000
Yes.
1109
02:06:20.000 --> 02:06:22.000
Oh, no.
1110
02:06:22.000 --> 02:06:23.000
We suck again.
1111
02:06:23.000 --> 02:06:26.000
You don't need fundamentals when you got heart.
1112
02:06:26.000 --> 02:06:27.000
And Jesus.
1113
02:06:27.000 --> 02:06:28.000
And Jesus.
1114
02:06:28.000 --> 02:06:29.000
That's right.
1115
02:06:29.000 --> 02:06:31.000
Touchdown, number one. What do you mean, funny? Funny how?
1116
02:06:31.000 --> 02:06:32.000
How am I funny?
1117
02:06:32.000 --> 02:06:35.000
It's going down. I'm yelling.
1118
02:06:35.000 --> 02:06:37.000
Timber.
1119
02:06:37.000 --> 02:06:40.000
Should we start a meat podcast? Like. Like slow.
1120
02:06:40.000 --> 02:06:41.000
Like.
1121
02:06:41.000 --> 02:06:46.000
Like meat pod. Slow roasted.
1122
02:06:46.000 --> 02:06:52.000
The leads are weak. Leads are weak. Leads are weak. You're weak.
1123
02:06:52.000 --> 02:06:53.000
What?
1124
02:06:53.000 --> 02:06:55.000
No browns, baby.
1125
02:06:55.000 --> 02:06:57.000
All I do is win, win, win, no matter what.
1126
02:06:57.000 --> 02:06:58.000
Erroneous.
1127
02:06:58.000 --> 02:07:00.000
Erroneous on both counts.
1128
02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:01.000
Oh, Lord.
1129
02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:05.000
I mean, when I. Last year, when I won and went home, you know, my wife's pants hit the ground.
1130
02:07:05.000 --> 02:07:06.000
Wow.
1131
02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:07.000
But damn.
1132
02:07:06.000 --> 02:07:12.000
I'm sorry I hijacked your segment for a second to do some good podcasting.
1133
02:07:12.000 --> 02:07:13.000
You know why, mister?
1134
02:07:13.000 --> 02:07:16.000
Because you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight.
1135
02:07:16.000 --> 02:07:18.000
I drove an $80,000 BMW.
1136
02:07:18.000 --> 02:07:25.000
That's my name. I live my life a quarter mile at a time.
1137
02:07:25.000 --> 02:07:28.000
You guys immediately insulted him.
1138
02:07:28.000 --> 02:07:32.000
I desperately want to make love to this cheese girl. We need cheese girl now.
1139
02:07:32.000 --> 02:07:34.000
Down goes Anderson.
1140
02:07:34.000 --> 02:07:38.000
Down goes Anderson. Who's canceled now? Who's canceled now?
1141
02:07:38.000 --> 02:07:39.000
Probably me.
1142
02:07:39.000 --> 02:07:42.000
You making a photo of fat people?
1143
02:07:42.000 --> 02:07:44.000
I'm not just you.
1144
02:07:44.000 --> 02:07:47.000
We're a whole race, basically.
1145
02:07:47.000 --> 02:07:52.000
No way. You're just straight. Just finger banging their salad.
1146
02:07:52.000 --> 02:07:58.000
You first get shocked and then you get the shocker.
1147
02:07:58.000 --> 02:07:59.000
You like to see almost naked.
1148
02:07:59.000 --> 02:08:05.000
That's cool, man. Whatever. No, no, no, no, no.
1149
02:08:05.000 --> 02:08:11.000
Why you not entertained? Are you not entertained?
1150
02:08:11.000 --> 02:08:25.000
Is this not why you here?
