[Assistant] I was a huge fan of the profile change on Twitter. That was just me. I loved seeing that Aaron Rodgers profile picture on Tom's page in a Broncos jersey.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys for stopping by yet another episode of Clickbait Sports. We'll see you back next Thursday, 5pm Eastern.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was rigged. It was like stuff coming in at like four in the morning. And it's just like, Oh, here is a, a $500 donation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and you call yourself a humanitarian.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think the main thing there too is there's a lot of reason to be skeptical, especially with certain side effects that people have with it. You know, Moderna will knock you out for a couple days. Johnson & Johnson's had issues with terms of like blood clots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] AstraZeneca as well. Uhm, like there's like a case with like a very rare case with somebody's skin peeling off with Johnson & Johnson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You also have to remember with Moderna and Pfizer, you're dealing with mRNA vaccines, which are still in its infancy, and they have limitless potential.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah, like I think what a lot of people are worried about are the long-term ramifications because it did get fast-tracked through a lot of FDA regulations. They didn't have to worry about that. Most vaccines will take years of trial and error to make sure like the long-term stuff isn't out of the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like, I know like a lot of people say like you're an anti-vaxxer if you don't agree with these vaccines, but I feel like most people, like they agree with like, you know, the MMR vaccine, measles, rubella, tetanus, uh, I think there's a new chickenpox vaccine that came out, but those have been tested for a long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think like with this one, it's like, okay, let's, let's back up a little bit. You don't buy a video game system or an OS like on its first release, you wait until the kinks get out and then you buy it. And I think that's what some people are probably waiting for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because there are still a lot of people that are skeptical as you can see from like a lot of people trying to dodge the question of the vaccine. Some people may still be at the vaccine and dodge it, but that's because they might want to protect their teammates or people that are against it. It's funny though.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] MLB is that it's become the epitome of a three true outcome sport. Every time you go, it's either a strikeout, a walk or a home run. MLB has always been worried about elongating the games. Guess what elongates games?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I usually do one thing I hear about all the time, the random undrafted guy that has a great couple practices and they think he's going to become the next Antonio Brown or like Tom Brady.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hear that all the time. It's like, oh, Gary Russell. He was a guy from like 10 years ago. This guy's gonna be amazing. He's incredible. He's reading the holes well. He, he plays like three seasons, like sparingly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it should be moved to the island where they film Mortal Kombat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Best costume. And not only this, you have to put the head and shoulders decal on that costume.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, my next vid is gonna be on the, uh, New York calendars. I'm actually gonna be releasing it, uh, a couple minutes after the stream. And also, in the meantime, I will be enjoying Tom's misery for all of us to enjoy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, I hope there's a nice care package that's delivered.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Full of the glories of head and shoulders that you can put on your back where it replaces your back ass, replaces your lombardi. No, the only lombardi you're going to be enjoying is a whole packet of head and shoulders.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Good, we're done. I hope you enjoy every bit of salt, man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have similar hair. Uhm, you know, we haven't seen Sara Fuller play quarterback. Could be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be. No one knows. Uhm, and if she is, then it's a dual threat QB. Can be your kicker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like I have not seen a single mock draft that it's like anybody but Trevor Lawrence. Like it's just, yeah, this is happening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, I think that that's what sent him skyrocketing, like, up the boards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I think Justin Fields, like, I, I, I get, like, all the press is like, oh, it's Mac Jones, Mac Jones, Mac, like, every, like, that's been now, like, the, the pick, right, at number three. Yeah. But, I mean, maybe it's just my own personal bias, and I just think that Justin Fields is a better quarterback, but, I, I,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I want to talk and pick Kyle Pitts because Scooter disagreed with me and I want to see him cry.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you've got a quarterback here, it's not the worst move because he gets to sit behind Matt Ryan, which is not the worst thing in the world. It's just a matter of, are you going to be in this spot again to potentially pick a top five quarterback if you're the Falcons?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, got em both on rookie deals, and you make em fight it out, and then if they're both doing really well, you pull like a Dark Knight Joker thing, break a pool queue in half, and just like have them see who's gonna be the first QB. That's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, in, in, yeah, Sewell, I feel like ha- a lot of people want like, Jamar Chase, but I think it has to be Sewell, because of course he's gonna die. Like, he's gonna die back there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's a rumor they might trade back in though. There's a rumor they could, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we're just going with it like plain, I originally had Parsons because they passed up on Isaiah Simmons last year and they went with the like Okuda when they could have gotten Simmons because LB has been, uh, a need for them for a while. I then went to Stavonta Smith because they had Galaday leave Marvin Jones left. They literally have like no wide receivers left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like, it's a really interesting pick, uhm, you know, but they could give Goff some help with Devonta Smith, but I honestly could see that going either way, if they don't trade out of it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think they take a QB like at this point, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I mean, I feel more comfortable with Parsons and trying to make that defense better, but yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This one though, like again, you have an offensive like DJ Moore, you have Robbie Anderson, you have CMC. Do they add a wide receiver to make them even more ridiculously good? I think honestly they go with a tackle here like Slater because their offensive line was not great. I think they allowed like 35 sacks on Bridgewater last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So like that's around where the jets were. I mean, I think tackle is a glaring need, but that's me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, Ernie got punished today, but good god, this would be amazing for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I was about to say that the nickname is Perfection, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can I, can I pose something to you real quick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if they do draft Trey Lance to address one of their other biggest needs and that's head coach and the pick is so bad that McCarthy then gets fired and in that case...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like trade with the Pats, you know what I mean? Like if the Pats want to go and get, you know, if trade Lance is there and they're trying to get him, I mean, I say you trade out of the spot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember that's exactly what I'm thinking. So yep. They also have really big issues on their offensive line. They do. But they just paid Corey Lindsley the highest paid ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But here's the thing, for the Vikings, I've had them go edge, but I feel like if Darasaw is there, they go Darasaw, because they've needed offensive line help since the dawn of time. Uhm, and they just got rid of, what's his face, Riley, uhm, what's his face.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Reef. I love it. Reeeef. Uh, I think Darasoff, he's still on the board.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, it's Darassar or Quidipay, but I, I'm gonna go with Darassar in this situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had them go Greg Newsome because they need corners because they had a bunch of people leave in the secondary.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Luke in my chat said, draft a social media manager.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a potential. They need offensive line help a little bit too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I can see them going interior, or I can see them going pay here. Yeaah, it's gotta be pay. I'll go quiddy pay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I like Jason O'Way, he's super fast. That's why I like him, but. Let's go pay. Okay, I go Quiddy Pay. Pay. We'll pay off. Bye bye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It could be, I mean, various, Tony has been falling down a lot, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His tape is actually, is pretty fun. I don't want him in the first, I would love, the value for the second is insane, if you get, if he falls to there, but uhm. I think he will be the most.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a lot of, I got a lot of JOKs. Alright, go JOK. Let's go JOK. Alright.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only other thing I could see them going is Edge, cause their pass rush is just straight garbage. Like, it is bad. I mean, they, they need, that whole defense needs a lot of help, but I think Caleb Farley, like, while there is a bunch of risk, good god, like, if he was healthy, he could go top 15.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Farley? I think Farley's a good pick. Yea. Good choice, Scooter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, could they go and replace Adams? They could. Yeah, Trevin Merrig. I'm thinking maybe them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they go with Marig or they go, they could go wide receiver too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I've seen so many, like, Najee Harris to the Steelers things, I don't, there's so many other pressing needs, like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They could go with Tevin Jenkins here, honestly. They could if they wanted to address the offensive line a little bit. Walker Little is like a possibility, but like his injuries make me concerned, cause like he could not, cause what, last time he played I think was 2018?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, so go Leatherwood. Leatherwood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How is Christian Barmore still there, good god.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Unless they bring back Sheldon Richardson. Oh that's right. They did just let him go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Bateman, um, Cudarius Tony, Terrence Marshall, I think is a very solid wide receiver.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Honestly, Jenkins would not be a bad pick then for them. If they're going offensive line, I think Jenkins is super duper underrated in this draft. He's an offensive lineman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true. The Cowboys Stadium is our second home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I honestly think that, uh, draft Tom Grosse, obviously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I think Javon Holland is actually a really good pick here. I actually would love to get him. He played safety, but also was a slot corner and Joe Barry, like, will utilize him all over the field. We already have, uh, Savage and Amos back there. And now, you know, we brought back Kevin King, which is a thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he should be at the top. Uh, they might have him listed as a CB. Maybe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there he is. Uhm, I like the pick, but I mean, Packers could trade up earlier to get another CB. I don't think they go wide receiver in the first round, though. So your pick would be...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Javon Holland or a tackle if Jenkins wasn't picked, but he's already picked. So here I go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Realistically, I think if they don't trade up for a corner, they trade back and get a wide receiver with one of their, like the pick in like the second round. Uhm, but I think because again, there's just, there's so much depth for wide receiver this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, look at the guys we have, Randall Cobb, Jordy Nelson, Devontae Adams, all in the second round. Like, they pretty much strike gold when they pick in the second for wide receivers, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Walker Little makes sense, yea. I had him going Little or Jenkins, but Jenkins is not there, so. Yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, technically Holland falls in that bill, but I don't think he'll, I think he'll play slot corner. So.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yeaah, are we all gonna walk a little for, uh, chief? I think so. Okay. I mean, they replaced your tackles with guards.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do they, uh, they go edge? Maybe with like, Phillips? Just to, uh, cause, cause their guys, again, like they're all like one year contracts, right? They're edge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if you email it to us or just tweet it out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about, uh, Custom Eagles Doug Peterson jersey?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could do a Logan Ryan jersey from the Giants. He's the guy who hurt Dak, isn't he?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He would like that. Can we make him get it in a 5XL though, just so he's swimming in it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, well tomorrow we're doing a seven round, uh, Packers mock draft. So that will be, uh, that'll be fun. And then we are going to be doing a five hour live stream starting at 8 p.m. Eastern in which there's going to be


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On July 3rd, in his Las Vegas hotel, the Cosmopolitan, by the way, very nice hotel, right there in the New Strip area, I think it's next to the Aria. Anyways, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dwayne wanted to go out and hang out with his buddies and didn't wait for his wife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, she did not take it very kindly to it and, uhm, Dwayne, at 2.30 in the morning, uh, woke up, I guess with a split lip and was missing his tooth. Apparently it's so bad that he had to have dental work done to repair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His missing tooth, and it was his wife who was charged with domestic violence and battery, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently. Tree, what did you say? Why were they out there again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To a bunch of questions. And first of all, Dwayne says that he does not even remember the incident. Okay? And obviously because he got knocked the freak out. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, it makes me wonder, did she hit him with more than a fist, right? So, she knocked a tooth out and split his lip. Like, did she hit him with a lamp post? I wanna know, have any of you ever been hit?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or, uh, or assaulted by your significant other in a serious manner.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe he went to that summer camp, Camp Chip-A-Tooth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tree, this is for you Tree. How do you think that this affects the Steelers' backup QB situation given, uh, that Dwayne Haskins is already experiencing off-field troubles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Has any of you ever watched Canadian football? It is not football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was hard to watch. Like, I've just sat there and tried to, I was like, why are they running before the ball snaps? And uhm, this doesn't look like football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Crazy women, cause they say behind every man, great man, is a woman who is just, you know, yelling at him to be a better person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know that's how my world works. Can you think of any crazy women that ruined athletes or others careers? The first thing I think of is Kurt Cobain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, everyone has to bring a segment to the show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To discuss now, and as we have stated before, the super chats work this way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more you donate to a participant in here, uh, that person becomes the loser and they get a punishment, AKA impractical joker style. And as you see to my, oh look, I got the direction right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Scooter was the winner last time and he is being punished by playing a character that Tom made up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who wears a Dwayne Haskins jersey and is a hippie from the 70s and has to, or 60s, is it the 60s?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so if you wanna see someone get punished, get those, uh, get those donations out there. Now, I shall pass it over.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he is fired up. Brandon Karna from That's Good Sports shall now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The all-time leader in wild card wins. That's gotta be someone that has, that won a bunch of, like, their team was very middling. They got into the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, uh, congratulations, Parna. You made it 11 minutes, which is, uh, 10 more minutes longer than you made it. Talk about b-ball now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That leads us to pass the torch down to tree right here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that this is part of a bigger problem. Like when, remember when the NBA said that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ripple Effect is now being seen when the crowd acts up and gets in these players' faces and yells, F you to Russell Westbrook. That, you know, of course, obviously people have yelled things at the, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the crowd is gonna be, you know, talking a bunch of smack, yelling things, and uhm, players are gonna, it's gonna get, uh, ugly, but that also find that hilarious wild scooter, that wonderful anecdote of they just wait till the game is over so they can't get ejected to do the gator stomp. Uh huh. That is funny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember, there was the Georgia Bulldog, and then, there was some cat, chat, y'all know what I'm talking about. The, the, the Texas mascot, I thought, went after the little Georgia Bulldog.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just, that made me think of something. What's your favorite coordinated end zone celebration of all time? By the way, this is completely unrelated. Mine is the bears where the guy takes the ball and uses it as a microphone and dances in front of the, like the, uh, basically the temptations. I thought that was the greatest ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He just simulated, uhm, a full moon of cheese.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, that's what happened. When guys are alone in the hotel, women, you do not want to know what we do in the hotel rooms by ourselves. Uh, there's just, for me, there's trash everywhere, but I will hand it to you, Tom Grosse. That was our secret five, come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I witnessed the Indians go on to the World Series and I've never seen a more deflated 48,000 completely depressed fan. Like everyone was just walking shoulders down. Like it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The most depressing thing I've ever seen and yeah, the energy from the first inning to the, to the, to the final out, everyone was up and just, I've never seen a more intense atmosphere. And then to lose on an Amando barn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Off the chain even before like a regular rivalry matchup. So for them to win a championship must have been absolutely insane.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, by the way, the deer district just sounds like a hunter's paradise. Like he's just like, oh yeah, I'm going to go shoot me a wild buck up in here. But anyways, uhm, I think, I think Milwaukee is going to flip over a few cars, possibly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With McGregor and that it was actually just kind of pre-broke it like it. So McGregor's pull, you know, his leg was lubed up so no one would climb on it and they still broke anyways. You know, that's basically, uh, what happened there. And he, and uh, McGregor denied that. But again, if you've ever been into an actual, in an actual fight, which the last one I was in was when I was like 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that he would just retire and go off into the sunset and become an actor, which I think would be great for him. Uhm, but now we're gonna have to hear 18 months of him rehabbing, uh, these montages of him, you know, like getting stronger and he's gonna fight either Nick Diaz or, or, uhm, or the poor


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we waited forever for coming to America, bomb, right? We waited for Space Jam 2, apparently it's getting lambasted by the critics, and you know who speaks the most about


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How bad a movie is, the views, right? Like the audience is not fooled, and not many people are wha- You know when a movie is good, right? People are just like, just see it, just see it, right? They don't need like the, you know, uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to hang out with Wild Scooters friends before to get the right mindset. If you know what I'm talking about, to watch that movie and it was incredible. I felt like I was out there with Bill Murray. Okay. That's how, that's how elevated I was. I was like 19, maybe 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was gonna ask, like, what's the greatest sports movie of all time, but we can save that for next week. We can tease that out. Because we have officially made it, folks. The power of time has been done.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less than 30. That's what you ge- OH MY GOODNESS!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, there was a little bit of a quick bait that I saw going on. Apparently some guy on the, uh, I believe it was nfl.com.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Said that he wouldn't be surprised if Aaron Rodgers retired this offseason. Which I gotta say.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of clickbait sports. We've got five points bids. That's Good Sports, which is me. Uh, I will refer to myself as That's Good Sports to be really pompous. Your entry, Tom Grosky, is student of my group.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, with his, uh, return address and other personal information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Should be aware that if a segment name rhymes, that is all I can contribute as a person here. So...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get ready for a lot of fun rhyming segments as this show crashes and burns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, who's going first with Roast or Toast? I'll go first. Mitch Trubisky to the Buffalo Bills. Are we roasting this or toasting this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how they play him, it's somewhat of an upgrade. Not enough to stop Aaron Rodgers or protect his ankles, as Tom has said.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk about a guy who's had a weird last couple years. Goes to the Dolphins with a big contract, gets released, and they're just like, screw it, I'll go back to New England, I guess. And they had a huge exodus of free agents last year and all those players that opted out, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How much did it sting losing, uhm, Tim Boyle?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I love when guys get like that cult following, like within their, their own fan base. And Tim Boyle leaving, like I just saw tons of Packers fans on Twitter just, oh no, not Tim, not Tim.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Played high school football just a few miles from where I live.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, uh, they signed Mike Boone over from the Vikings, which I like, and I think Phillip Lindsay's gonna play better somewhere else.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because I think they rotated through 11 corners last season due to injury. Uhm, so yes, corner, big need, still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Franchise saved. We've got sex appeal, we've got a guy who is safe with the football, and we got a guy who performed some miracle, miracle BS to beat us once. Like what Gardner Minshew did to the Broncos, uh, in 2019, I will never forget, and since


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know what's going on with Deshaun Watson right now. I am all in on Gardner Minshew. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pull in their shared incomes and just give it back to King Tom.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let him count it, come on. Okay, well you can count it, Adam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I will never have this power again, so I'm gonna explode.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] All he said was much love my friend, hope this helps. Alex, it helps. It helps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well then that saves the humiliation of not getting any viewers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have to leave for a second though. I'll be right- Now my comment on the Sabers is Jack Eichel has too much power and the Pugulas don't even know it and the Sabers are a fucking dumpster fire. I'll be right back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this should be the opposite of impractical jokers. If you get the most super chats, you should be the one that gets punished.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That makes a lot of sense actually. Is there something I can, well, it doesn't matter now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Roughly, there was a $80 donation saying, for the success. We, we have to think about a punishment for whoever wins the Super Chat. Chat off. Next tree today, so. Yeah. Fuck you all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is accurate. Fuck you YouTube. Y'all should come to the dumpster fire. I mean come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With, uh, grilled asparagus and, um, sweet corn. Ooh!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. You gotta have one carb, one protein, and one vegetable. That makes sense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're gonna end this in like four minutes so I can go eat dinner. That's what we're gonna do. I didn't make a dollar, but Tree made a thousand. So, you know, I'm happy for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guys, thank you all. Usual suspects right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We definitely want to set the precedent that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will have an agenda here on the show and we will be talking about actual sports.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the super chats will serve as sort of a side running competition and we will have breaks where we do read them. You know, obviously if you're gonna super chat a hundred dollars, you would expect some type of ROI on that, but uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm out of the bowl, and if I had 100 chips to bet, where would I place my biggest bet when it comes to the Guardians? We'll explain in just a little bit.

[Assistant] That's it. The other three series are complete toss-ups. As much as I yell and scream about how much I hate the regular season NBA, I love the NBA playoffs. It's the biggest difference in any sport between the regular season and the playoffs. Interesting. I've never thought about that before.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, that's it, Jay. How long does the series go and does he have any setbacks along the way? It doesn't, you're right, it doesn't matter if he's 100%. It matters if he's close to 100%. If he's close to 100%,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Certainly, but yeaah, if he has a setback and he's at 50%, the Cavs are in big trouble. Fortunately right now he looks like he's pretty good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I agree with that. By the way, the last time the Cavs won a playoff series without LeBron, I was just old enough to drink. I was 22 years old. Oh my goodness. 1993. Actually, I had not just, I had not quite turned 22. 1993. I don't remember. I can't remember who they beat. Oh my goodness. 1993, last time they won a playoff series without LeBron.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they've only won three series without LeBron ever. I think you're right. Something like that. It's a very low number.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Magic, kinda like the Cavs last year, or in experience, as you said, also like the Cavs last year, the Magic were not very good on the road. They're a much better home team. The Cavs this year were good both ways. They were really good on the road.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As opposed to the year before. So, if you give the Magic confidence and let them win one of those home games, they're going to be very confident going into game three. Their crowd will probably be excited. But if you, if they're down 0-2,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then they finally feel some pressure, but you're right, the first two games, there's no pressure on Orlando at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The comments are ridiculous. First of all, nothing the Cavs say is gonna make me believe they're tough. They gotta prove it on the court. They do have, I agree with Gee, some of the leaders, you didn't even mention Morris, right? No, we mentioned Morris. Oh, you did. I'm sorry. Well, bad job out of me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These guys will bring some toughness and some credibility.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But the key players on this team, they all cowered last year. And to me, I, you know, Jay and I, you haven't, I haven't really talked about this, but.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the only time I would say that's not an advantage is if on the rest of the team there was a big advantage for the other team. But that's not the case. It's pretty close in the other spots. So yea, Donovan Mitz, it shouldn't be a difference. He wasn't last year against the Knicks. He didn't play well enough. He's gotta play like a superstar in this series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. Oh yeaah. Oh yeaah. Oh yeaah. Even if they win, they still might be cleaning their lockers out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I mean, that's a big part of it. Uhm, and part, odds are, uh, the factors that go into odds are what they think the public's gonna bet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you believe in the quarterback, because that obviously plays a big role in that. And how good is your conference? How good is your division? The AFC North, I truly believe, could finish in any order. I think all four teams could finish first, second, third, and fourth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's way better than what they had. Way better. And he is a starting NFL middle of the road quarterback. They had no starting quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, so they, plus, you know, obviously with injuries. If I had to bet yes or no on the Browns making the playoffs, I'd bet yes. But, outside of Kansas City,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't be overly confident really about, probably Houston because the rest of that division is not very good. I can't be overly confident about anybody else making the playoffs because


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The North is so good, I just, how can you say for sure? But I would lean slightly towards the Browns making the playoffs, but you can't be shocked if they, the Browns could win nine, ten, ten games even and not make it. That's how good the AFC is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is probably New England, and the Raiders and Broncos are not very good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he has to be, I don't think he has to be Houston Deshaun for them to make the playoffs. I think he has to be good for them to make the playoffs. He has to be Houston Deshaun for them to win the Super Bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right. That's always a factor. Everybody's down on Buffalo right now. I know you're way down on Buffalo. I'm never counting them out when they have Josh Allen. I'm not, I don't like them as much, but I'm never going to completely count them out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jay, I'm pushing the most chips on the bullpen brilliance. That's what I believe in the most right now. Now there's been a couple of guys like Beattie and, and uhm,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kate Smith, thank you. That I don't fully buy those two guys, but there's been some guys like Eli Morgan who's been not great that I do believe in. He's dealing with an injury right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, and eventually they'll get some guys back from the injured list too. I love Emmanuel Closet. I think he's one of the best closers in baseball. Scott Barlow's pitch better of late. I love Hunter Gaddis. Looks legit. I mean he's been great. So I'm all in on the bullpen. I'm at 55 of my 100 chips on the bullpen. I think it's close between the other two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I, I, I have more faith in the offense, obviously, than it did begin the season, but I'm not fully.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believing that they're gonna be this good. I think they need to supplement.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I can't believe I'm saying this, but I am a little nervous about the starting pitching. Obviously the Bieber injury and Mackenzie look shaky. I think Bybee will bounce back. I think eventually Gavin Williams will be good.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm, you know, I don't trust Tarasco to pitch well the whole season. So ultimately I went with 25 chips on the hitting to stay hot and 20 chips on the pitching to continue to struggle. Wow. We're amazingly close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just feel like the Magic are too similar to the team they lost to last year in the Knicks in terms of their defensive intensity. I'm worried. I hope you're wrong. I hope I'm wrong too. Man, I hope you're wrong. What's the next series?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, you guys are both picking the upset. I like the Knicks. I'm very high on them. I know they're without Julius Randall, but I think Jalen Brunson might be the most underrated player in the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Earl the Pearl. Hi grandma. I'll tell you who's the most underrated player on the Cleveland Brawls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, wait, no, let's go back to Anne. Let's go to the more important thing. Hey, so Mike, is this the Parma Peacock?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show here on WKYC. Thank you for spending time with us. You get us for 30 minutes. I'm Jay Crawford. Over the next half hour, we're going to have our pre-written headlines for the Women's Final Four, which is in town this weekend and the games tip off tonight. Full.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, sounds like a packed show. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about lefties. That of course is Deshaun Watson's part owner. So we're anxious to hear what kind of cheese states he's cranking out up there. First though, we're going to start with the Guardians and why not? 6 and 2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After their 4-2 win yesterday against the Minnesota Twins, and even though it wasn't impressive when they beat the Oakland A's, 3 out of 4, what they've done after that is very impressive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two of three against Seattle in Seattle, and they're off to a good start now against the Twins as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll start with you on this, Bull, because we know how much you love baseball. Which of the young Guardians players has most


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Very tough and I'm impressed. You cannot overstate how difficult it is. Especially center field. I mean, you are the quarterback of the outfield. You have to go to your left, you have to go to your right. He did miss play a ball yesterday early in the game against the twins. Miles straw would have had that without any problems.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is the most difficult play that he's gonna be asked to make. Other than that, he's done it all and done it all well. Who's your guy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm a little concerned about the bullpen, both health wise and, you know, I know Eli Morgan is going to work it out and figure it out, but he's had a rough time finding the strike zone early on. For me, you guys would probably raise your eyebrows at my answer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cause the question is, is he a young player? So I kind of said, well, you're young if you're under 30. I'm 58. I'm allowed to say that. Cut me some slack. I'm going with Shane Bieber because he hasn't just been great. He's been Cy Young Shane Bieber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, and we've got him at 1-0. Oh, that's the game stats against the A's. He's 2-0 on the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And all of a sudden, it's 4-2. Right. And I think Bieber was, was a little disappointed that he didn't get to stretch out to a seventh inning. I'm sure we're going to see that as the season goes on. They want to be careful with them. I think it's interesting because they're, they're,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Being extra precautious with a guy that is not in their long-term plans. And I think Fever should thank them for that. I know in the moment when you're a competitor, you gotta drag me off the pitcher's mound. But I do think that it's respectful and I hope other pitchers in the game look at it and say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The temptation is so great to stick with this guy that the other teams clearly can't figure out yet for this, not just for the sake of this season for Shane Bieber, but they know that he's entering into free agency and he's ready, he's going to hit it big. They're saving him from himself and I think there's some nobility to that. How do you guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't either. And you know what? We've supposedly got new ownership that helps out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sign him. If you love him that much, sign him to a contract.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, besides Deshaun Watson, because I think we all agree, Deshaun Watson is the pivotal player for the 2024 Brown season. Who other than Watson is the make or break player for the 24 season?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even consider Jedwills, but when you make that case, I will agree with this. He's pivotal to their success. He's gotta be the best Jedwills that we've seen so far.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For me, I thought this was easy. It's gotta be Nick Chubb. Nick Chubb is still the engine to this offense. And I know that it's a passing league and I get all of that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're gonna have to have a formidable running game. Because right now, when you look at what the Browns have,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It feels like they're going to throw it 80% of the time. You can't win that way in the NFL. If you're throwing 80% of the time and teams know it's coming, you're going to lose. So for my money, if Nick Chubb gets back to anywhere near


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think this Browns team, you can make the argument that they've got the most well balanced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Offense in the NFL or in the AFC because if Deshaun Watson, that's assuming Deshaun Watson gets back to Houston Deshaun. You've got Cooper. I do think Judy's going to have a much better season. I think more than anything, he just needed to change the scenery. Things got sideways quick in Denver and it was never good there for him. My concern is he's a problem child.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I, I know Mark Schlereth, I know some of these guys that have really big beefs with him, and I, I trust what they say. Hopefully it was just poison soup in, in Denver, and he's gonna be fine now that he gets out. But for me, give me a Nick Chubb, typical Nick Chubb season, and I think this offense is gonna be very, very difficult to stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's change gears. We've done Guardians. We've done Browns. Next is Cavs. Big weekend for them. I know, I know when I see them in the rundown, I used to get excited because I was so pumped for April. Now it's like, Oh God, what's going to happen? They get the Lakers and the Clippers back to back this weekend. Tomorrow, the Lakers Sunday, they get the Clippers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If they come out and they look good against two playoff teams, I know the Clippers are in the nine right now, or the Lakers are in the nine, I think the Clippers are in the four or five. These are two playoff teams, two playoff teams. If they look good against both and come out with two wins, does it change the way you think


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About this team going into the playoffs because right now we're all sour on them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I, so the reason I'm a definitive no.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is because we know that Mitchell's likely gonna play tomorrow against the Lakers. Right. But will then sit on Sunday against the Clippers. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my mind, I think the Lakers are doing what they do. They had it in cruise control. Now it's the end of the season. They'd like to do everything they can to get a better position for this play-in tournament. But I think this is the time of the year where LeBron says, okay, where's the accelerator?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I also think there's a piece of Lebron that wants to destroy


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pre-injury Donovan Mitchell, then yeaah, I'm automatically going to change my mind. But right now, I think it's one and done again for our Cleveland Cavaliers. We're taking our first break. When we come back, G-boy puts on his food critic hat. So what kind of cheesesteaks is Deshaun Watson serving up at his new Lefty's restaurant? That's next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh listen, get down there. Get down there. Very good. Trust me. I like it. I like to hear it. I like to hear it. Alright, we're going to take a break. Uh, or do you want to do something else, Mike?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The ultimate Cleveland sports network is growing. That's all we can say. And that's a big testament to you guys. Thanks for watching. Taking a break. When we come back, one of our favorite segments, we write the headlines before the games. What happens in this weekend's final four here in downtown Cleveland? Find out next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bull, your pre-written headlines for the NCAA Women's Finals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, by the way, I love the Don't Stare at the Sun Monday as the mini headline. Well done. I'm going in a different direction. I think the South Carolina team is


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're over here. We haven't lost all year. Dawn Staley is incredible. The run she's on right now is Geno-esque when he was at his peak at UConn, who by the way is also in this Final Four. But I'm going with Mega Team Stops Super Player.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I just think that, I think Clark's going to have a wonderful tournament. I think she's going to make it to the finals. But I do think that South Carolina is just too strong, too deep, and they're going to


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I tell ya, what Dawn Staley's doing there is mind-boggling. I think four out of the last five years she was named the Women's Coach of the Year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Think of that. Alright, we're out of time. Thanks so much for joining us. We'll be back Monday for the YouTube show. Peace!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, welcome everybody to the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show. It's show number 499. Tomorrow we will celebrate our 500th show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean. That's fair. But then I said, well let's bring them on together for 10 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, lot to get to today. Later, the red hot Josh Naylor. And of course, we are two days away from the draft, although three days away from the Browns making their first pick. What could they be up to in this draft?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But of course we're gonna start with the Cleveland Cavaliers who are up now two games to none after we talk to Mikey McNuggets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Action in baseball tonight. Guys, the Cavaliers very similar to the first game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They took a big lead in the first quarter. Magic made a couple of runs to get it close, but in the end, they were inept offensively yet again. And despite the fact that the Cavs offensively are not playing particularly well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have a commanding or what feels like a commanding 2-0 lead in this series.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And this obviously is a topic for another day, but Darius Garland would probably be a great fit on Orlando, wouldn't he? I think Trey Young would be a perfect fit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I feel like, it feels like they've made three three-pointers the whole series. But here's the thing, I do think it's a mixed bag. Yes, uh, there are, the Cavs are not playing particularly well offensively, um, but,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one, and obviously the Knicks were a much tougher opponent than the Magic. Even though they're both 5 seeds. But,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What the Cavs are doing that was non-existent last year is they're playing with toughness. They're physical, they're tough. Yes, a lot of those shots are open, but that's by design. Right, Jason? I mean, that's by design. You guys can't shoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But every time Bankero gets the ball, they are harassing him. Yeaah. They are all over him. Again, I haven't watched Bankero play much. I've been thoroughly unimpressed. He has 15 turnovers!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 15! Because they're asking him to do everything. I'm about to say he has nobody else. Well, but...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pot, real positivist for the Cavs. Jared Allen, terrific. Was a meme last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you mentioned a Coro. I was hard on a Coro the second half of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only time I felt like the Magic had a chance in the second quarter, they made that good. Darius hit the three to start the second quarter. I think the Cavs were 15, I believe. And then the Magic made like a run there. Darius got in foul trouble. Magic made a run. They cut it down, I want to say five or four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And then, uh, Coraline caught fire and scored what, 10 points in a row or eight, something like that? And they built the lead back up and that was it. So I, you know, he's giving you some moments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, and you know, Mobley was great in the first half of the first game. He wasn't as good yesterday, but he's still better than last year. But the one thing I'm concerned about going into the next round is they have been extremely sloppy with the ball. There's been some hideous turnovers by the Cavaliers, even Donovan Mitchell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But part of their success in that fourth quarter was the Cavs were trying to run the clock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And what's funny is LeBron had a big fourth quarter. Uh, Anthony Davis had a big game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Angelo Russell had like his best game. And they still blew a 20 point lead, man. That's how good Denver is. And then, uh, how about that Nick, the way the Nick Sixers game ended.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait, what happened though? Cause I didn't see it. Yeah, there was a complaint about a missed call or whatever. There's always a million calls to go both ways. I don't want to hear about referees. The Lakers whining about referees after the game too. Go ahead, Mike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's fat, he's bald, he's white, and wears a wristband. I mean, what is happening here? He'll be the slowest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He look, he look, there was a kid when I was at Brockport, you know, division three basketball, our rival was a school called St. John Fisher and they had a kid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Their point guard was like this big dude who didn't look like a point guard, like big for Division 3, and he would wear this black wristband, and he was fat, and he was a white dude, but he was like pretty good, and that's Joe Engels. I mean, is there any NBA player that looks less like an NBA player than him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yea, a lot of the white guys don't look like players. Let's be fair, that's true. Alright Mike, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, before we move on to our next Cavs topic, let me remind the folks that tomorrow is the 500th show and that May 9th is our


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both coming up quickly. Our goal for the last month has been to get to 40,000 subscribers to the show by our two year anniversary, which is now a little over two weeks away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two weeks from Thursday. Help us reach our goal. If you have not subscribed already, please do so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's two different, and Mike wanted to ask the question like he's enemy number one since. And I'll give you my answer in a second, I want you to take on this. But to me, there are two groups.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of, of players slash teams that Cleveland fans hate, alright?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one group is the players you hate because they're good players on your rival team. Yes. Like, you hate Steph, you hate Rafflesberger, you know, you hated Flacco, I guess, back in the day, or Ray Lewis, certainly Draymond Green, right? Then there's the guy who's not a good player, but he's feisty and physical,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I know, but you can't say they would have won cost of the championship. You don't know. A lot of people feel that way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd wear a mask. Yeah, Mike, uh, you weren't here obviously for the Kelly Olynyk years. Oh, but he was!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is like a marriage, man. You're apologizing more than I have to at home. This one is really just me being mad at myself. Because I spent the entire regular season saying the regular season doesn't matter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like shutting off my brain and getting angry at the Cavs for playing crappy basketball at the end of the season, even to the point where I got furious that they tanked the game to play for a better opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and my brain didn't switch back on until the playoff started and I said,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That the regular season is one, not ninety percent, not ninety-five percent, not ninety-nine percent. The regular season is one hundred percent meaningless. Sports Boy Tony, as we all know Anthony Lima.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, has been saying this, and he said, on his show yesterday, I saw a clip,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That everybody, most of the members of the media, a lot of fans should apologize for making a big deal about Gatsby at the end of the year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and, and my response was that most of Cleveland media is gutless. I was gonna write nutless, but I didn't want to offend anybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But most of the Cleveland media is soft, and that's a fact, everybody knows that. Uh, we have, it's always funny to me when fans complain the media like picks on the Cleveland teams because we have the softest media market probably on the entire planet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's, there are almost no good beat reporters in this town. Man, I'm just...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavs, the way they played the other season, didn't matter. It was stupid that we got worked up about it. We should have known. I should have known that. I've been saying it for two years. It's why I didn't want to watch regular season basketball, because it has no meaning, no value. And we've seen this, by the way.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You watch these playoff games, every moment, every possession, guys are playing life and death like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's fight and fire on every play it seems. That does not happen in the regular season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It does not. The Cavs played hard last year in the regular season. The Magic did this year. There are a sprinkling of teams that do, and then it's meaningless once the playoffs start. It's a completely different game. Who's healthy when the playoffs start? Who's more talented? That's all that matters.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's all that matters. And it's ne-, and it's, it's trending more and more in that direction every single year. I should have known better. Sports Boy Tony is right. Ken, you've got to admit it. You were wrong. Everybody else was wrong. Anybody that criticized his team during rail season, you were lost because it was meaningless. And I was completely wrong about that. Here's where I'm confused though. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not even saying that the Cavs are a sensational team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of, that the regular season is meaningless, is that the Cavs are the five seed knees.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry, correction, that the magic of the five seed knees. They were the three seed a few days before the end of the season. The fact that the magic essentially had as good a record as anybody needs outside of Boston tells you


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A lot of these teams did not take the regular season seriously because there's no way that the Magic are one of the five best teams in the East.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Really? There's no doubt. Now, and, and I, uh, Zach and I actually talked about this in the Ultimate Guardian show yesterday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jose Ramirez is still the better all-around player because he's a better base runner and he plays, you know, he's a good defender whereas Josh Naylor is not a good defender. But, if you ask me who's been the better hitter for the last calendar year,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is Josh Naylor, if you remember, got off to a bad start last season in April.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Josh Naylor's been a way better hitter than Jose Ramirez. And he's more dangerous at the plate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he has, uh, more ribbies, that's one thing, but he also, if you look at two out RBIs, I think he's 12th in all of baseball in two out RBIs. Now it's early, but this guy who's had, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If he plays a full season this year, I believe he can hit 30 home runs, and I think he'll have over 50 extra base hits.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do believe that not just, I mean, not just based on the first twenty-something games they played this year, but I believe going back to May of last year, Josh Naylor is the best hitter on the guard. And this is from someone who never thought he would hit lefties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yes, there's been, over the last calendar year, a little decline in Ramirez's game, but it's been more about...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, Josh Naylor probably should have been an All-Star last year. At worst, he was borderline. And so far, I get it, it's way early. He's well on his way to being an All-Star this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, well that's the next part of this conversation, Jason. And I think we've talked about this, and Zach and I talked about this yesterday, that the suggestion is that it's a five year, fifty-five million dollar deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, to me, that's a no-brainer if I'm the Guardians. Even if, first of all,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The, the, the Guardians are in a unique position with Josh Naylor. Because he's not the type of, as good as he is, he's not the type of player that's gonna get a huge contract. Because he's, he's really a D.H.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And D.H.'s, even though he's young, or youngish, don't get big money, generally.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He, he's a, he has flaws as a player. He's not very good defensively. He's not, you know, he's not a terrible base runner, but he's not a base stealer and he's not a great base runner. But, the man hits in big spots.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he's just a good hitter. And now that he can, now that he's shown you for a year he can hit lefties.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would sign him to an extension, and if I could get, even if I've got to pay more than $55, even if it's, let's say $13 million a year, which is what, $65, $65. I, is that? Yeah, $65.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would do it, Jason, even if, even if, I believe if they signed him to a five-year deal, I think he turns 28 in the middle of the season. So in theory, it's his age 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 seasons.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even if he's in a decline those last two years of 31 and 32, I think you'd get more than 13 million a year worth of value the next three years that I would do it. I think he is an important part of his team. He's a leader. He's a freaking animal out there. He gives them momentum and energy. You know he wants to play with his brother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think if the Guardians make him a reasonable extension offer, I believe he will sign it. And they should, they should absolutely not move on from Josh Naylor even though it has some risks because he's been injury prone and his body type doesn't lend to a guy who's gonna be good for into his 30s too long. But I still, to me, it's a no-brainer to lock him up. What say you guys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, you may be right, but how much more is he gonna get than what I'm saying? Is he gonna-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's actually traded twice. Cause he got drafted originally by the Marlins. I forgot about that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, Zach made the point yesterday, it was a good point, that Naylor, just this week,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because like, I know we don't, I know like we're not supposed to care about animals, but the reason the animal is flapping is because he's being choked to death essentially.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some level of respect for another life that is being taken away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You eat fish, right? Of course. But I don't think the fishermen catching fish, like the commercial fishermen, are like making jokes about the fish dying. Just cut its head off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get to that, Mike, I gotta talk about what you just said there with Defensive Act. Do you guys believe that for whatever reason,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Andrew Berry is able to analyze corners well and not analyze wide receivers well or is it some just coincidence, luck, whatever you want to call it. What do you believe when it comes to that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Please dude, I wanna know. No, no, no, don't worry about it because this is the question I wanna get to. Is that, you're right, even-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And gotten everything wrong at wide receiver. You don't get credit for a Maury Cooper. Stop it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They all look useless. Tillman still has a chance. He traded for Elijah Moore. That was a terrible trade at this point. No?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You dropped out of the second round for a guy who's at best the third receiver. At best. And I don't even think he is. Is that unfair?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you believe, we know Andrew Berry is super duper smart. We all know that. There's no debating that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is he doing at corner that he's not doing at wide receiver and do you think going into this year


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah Moore, at best, is still up in the air. I think it's done. And it was a bad move. But what is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is he doing wrong and what, and do you think he spent this offseason saying, hey, I keep getting it wrong specifically. This has been my biggest Achilles heel is wide receiver. I have to go about finding different, I'm analyzing why receivers are wrong. Yeah, clearly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, they don't know how to evaluate. And that's got to change. Like, a lot of fans want the Browns to take a wide receiver in the second round. I'd be happy if they took one in the second round. I know Gene Bush was on here yesterday saying they have to take a wide receiver in the second round. But do you trust them to get it right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think they're smart enough to know they gotta do things differently, but I'm gonna be a little antsy about the wire receiver they grabbed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] More to it. We appreciate it. And I, you know, I'm curious, uhm, when you look at all the new rules in baseball and especially with your reputation as a player, what do you think about the pitch clock specifically and all the other new rules in Major League Baseball?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So funny, because in those days, to your point, like, growing up as a kid, like, you knew


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Rusty Stob, right? Like Rusty Stob would come in and he'd pinch hit and then the Mets would pinch run for him. Cause he could barely move at the end of his career. I don't even think those guys really don't exist anymore. Like if you said to me who's a good pinch hitter now, there might be some guys, but I would have no clue off the top of my head who they are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's no specialization like that anymore, and you talked about the guys you had, but like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, he's a little like Brett Butler-esque, I guess, but you know, like the classic lead, he's a classic leadoff hitter.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, is that, well, he doesn't have, you know, huge speed, but he's got decent speed, but again, that's another thing when you manage, certainly when you played, like, the leadoff hitter would be a speed guy, a guy who could bunt, a guy, you weren't getting a lot of home runs at a leadoff spot until Ricky Henderson came around, I guess, but, uh, but Stephen Kwan is kind of a throwback player, don't you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, did Tito re- when he re- decided to retire, did he, you know, cause like you, he's a baseball lifer, did he reach out to you and say, like, what do I do? Like, eh, how do I handle retirement? Or did, or did that not happen?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, last thing, uhm, when Albert Bell


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From an outside perspective, like he, he didn't like to talk to the media, and he's kinda loosened up, I feel like in the last year or two, he's finally talking to the media. But he was always, from an outside perspective, very intimidating. But what was that moment like? And what was it like for you managing him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you, are you hearing that at all? Are you hearing that at all, Chris? Or is it only us that we're hearing it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know if, I don't know if you, you probably didn't hear the beginning of the interview with Hargrove, but because of his reputation, of course, as you said, the Human Rain Delay, I asked him what he thought.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] of the pitch clock rule because, you know, it makes the batter be ready also much quicker and surprisingly he said he liked it. He said it's the only new rule in baseball that he likes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris, it feels like a great time to be a Cleveland sports fan. Like one of the best. All three teams are good. I mean, how often does that happen? Right? The Browns coming off a good season, even with all the injuries, the Guardians.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exceeding expectations early in the season, and obviously the Cavs so far have played well in the postseason, which I know it's playoffs right now for the Cavs, so I'm guessing you'd say that, but which team are you most excited about at the moment?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And as you know, Chris, I mean, for many years, the NFL draft was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Super Bowl here in Cleveland as the Browns often had two first round picks. One year they had three first round picks. But now, I mean, it's an afterthought. We've talked about the draft.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Less this year than ever before. It doesn't even feel like it's this week, but now it is. For other teams, it's a big deal. Now, at least the Browns will be picking, we think, in the second round this year. What are you hoping they do without an obvious need for the Browns in the second round?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, Chris, let's wrap it up with this question. This is probably the most important question you've ever been asked. Let's say... Yes, ever.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No. Yes. No. Najee Harris, and I wasn't a big fan of Najee, but I thought he really came on this bad year. I went with Tyrus. G-No. Uh, Travis


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, again, like, how do I compare him to an offensive lineman? We don't know these offensive linemen. Like, you don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Would you agree he hasn't played to the level of a first round pick?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think he is, but go ahead. He definitely is. If you want to overrate your own players, go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And you're writing down no everytime we say we don't know because how do we know? We're not paying attention to Patriots defense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of course the chat agrees because the chat is going to overrate their own guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't say the Browns could have definitely got, there were players drafted after him that were better, yes? So they could have taken a better player.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, this is a wild hypothetical from Paul Pierce, where if the Lakers and the Cavs both flame out in the first round of the playoffs, they should trade LeBron for Mitchell so LeBron can come home, get, get, uh, play with Brawny and on the Cavs and do his farewell tour here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Watson wins the AFC, but Cleveland will lose the Browns again. Or the Cavs keep JB for the next eight years, but get Lebron and Brawny.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did put the weaker ones up front. Alright, next one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Ward and Emerson are out for the rest of the season. Or Miles gets traded to Pittsburgh for Cam Hayward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or the Guardians will knock out the Yankees this year in the playoffs, but Jose gets traded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so, Donovan Mitchell re-signs for 5 years, but Garland and Mobley both get traded, or the Browns go 1-16, but they get a dome stadium.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, the Dolans sell the Guardians, but their name changes again, this time to the Spiders, where Trevor Bauer signs with us and wins the Cy Young this year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, from Crypto, uh, shout out to Cory, thank you for sharing your experience and insight with us. Thank you, Cory.

Alright, let's play this package, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Speaking of baseball, 77 years ago today, Jackie Robinson broke baseball's color barrier. And I just want to pay homage to Jackie Robinson, man. Thanks for everything that you've done to, you know, kind of like push the movement forward.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, shout out to Donovan Mitchell. Yesterday at the Cavaliers game, uh, they started their inaugural, uh, scholarship foundation to where they give scholarship to people attending or going to HBCUs. And the Spider Care Foundation is a major contributor to that. So shout out to Jackie Robinson. Shout out to Donovan Mitchell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, y'all hear me talk all the time. When you come to communication, body language is the most important part to communication. He was visibly upset and pissed off. This is a dude who went out there, shout out to Max Drew's first career triple double, but he wanted to go out there and win this game. I hear your argument. I hear your argument. I'ma go ahead and say I thought it was a smart move and this is why.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Cavaliers are dealing with injuries to pretty important players. Donovan Mitchell being at the very top of that list. The Cavaliers have struggled.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Over the last two months of the season, the closer season out, they last 10 games of the year, they went four and six. This is a team that hasn't played their best basketball or dealing with injuries. And of course, if you're in that situation, you want to put yourself in a position to have the most favorable first round matchup possible.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For all the reasons that Jason just mentioned, right? Because you want to be able to try to sell progress to Dan Gilbert, to the fan base, to everybody else, to me? No it's not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not. So, but I'm just saying this is what, no, to answer you, no, it's not progress to me, but this is what they're trying to sell. That if you could go out here and you beat Orlando in the first round and you just so happen to lose to Boston that, Hey, you know what? We gradually have gotten better over the last three years. I'll call BS on that, but this is how I see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so if you play Orlando in the first round, I think it does something for the psyche. I think it does something for the confidence of this basketball team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you can get out of the first round of the series. So I thought the cast played it smart. They're trying to get healthy. They want the best possible matchup that gives them the best chance to advance in the playoffs and then see what happens in the second round. At the end of it all, Jason, to me personally, I don't care if they get out of the first round or not, unless this team make the Eastern Conference finals, I think everybody's getting fired in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Floyd Mayweather was always strategic. He was a defensive fighter. He was always strategic on the opponents that he fought. Just because he could fight didn't mean he was going to go fight somebody that might be able to knock his ass out. I never liked that about Floyd. He was strategic in picking his opponents to give him the advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't mean you go pickin' fights with everybody, right? You gotta be smart about how you move. Sure. And I think the Cavaliers are just being smart with how they move. This is a team that hasn't played their best basketball and are dealing with injuries and maybe playing the Orlando Magic who they might view as a weaker opponent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Jason, help me out. But help me out because you cover this more than all of us, right? I can think back to the years that Golden State was winning championships or when Houston was trying to compete to win that championship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was like other teams was doing that then. That was, that was in good spaces. This is not the first time that we've seen a team purposefully win or lose to try to position itself in the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The way that the Cavs have played over the last couple of months is frustrating. It's pissing you off because this is a team that's been hot and cold. They've been teetering in the wrong direction and you go out there and you see them lay an egg against a team that they damn well should have beat. I get that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But on the other side of it, man, you got to play your hands smart, Jay. Like we getting into the playoffs and you want to show some type of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Success. Do we want to see a second round exit? No, but it's not like this team was gonna go win an NBA championship. And as far as I'm concerned, when this is all said and done, it's only gonna be one team that was satisfied with the outcome of the season.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I told Mike earlier, we all know Boston is the clear cut favorite to come out the East, but man oh man, to draw like an Eric Sposter coach team in the first round, like I've heard experts say you could speak to this, that Boston is great, but if they're not hitting threes and they're not rebounding, they can get got just like any other team in the NBA.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Great points on Kobe Altman. Remember when we had the conversation about Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski? Yea. And it was the talk wheel if Kevin Stefanski is going to go, if Andrew Berry would too. Yea. And we had the conversation, we compared it to grocery shopping.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, here's the grocery list of things that Kevin Stefanski needs to have this team better or in a better position next year. We said, okay, Andrew Berry went out here. He went grocery shopping. Now it's up to Kevin Stefanski to go in the kitchen and make a quality meal with what he's got.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Evan Mobley development, Darius Garless development, et cetera. At this point, this is how I feel about it because I hear you talk about this a lot and you're more into it than I am. If you really feel like in your gut that Donovan Mitchell is out of here, I have to roll with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But at the same time, if I'm Dan Gilbert, I gave you all the firepower in the world to go make this trade. Kobe, you do whatever you have to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't handicap yourself with these three other core players because the main priority, the main objective is Donovan Mitchell. You know he's your alpha dog. You know he's your team leader on and off the court.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is what I'm looking for. Wherever Bryce decides that he's going to go play his, no, not Bronnie, Bryce. Wherever Bryce says he's going to play his college basketball at, that'll tell me everything I need to know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah, I think both conferences is, uh, it's, it's gonna be really, really fun. When you look at the East, if you look at the top three seeds, realistically, all three of those dudes, uh, teams can go home in the first round. And so for like, for, for as good as, it's just been a fun competitive season and both conferences all season long. And I'm really, really looking forward to the playoffs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, I just think Eric Sposter, I think Boston is going to win this series, but Eric Sposter is somewhere like, you got me effed up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, listen, I played Monopoly, go, uh, I had to take it off my phone. I was playing it for a while. It's really fun. It's really addictive. It's nothing like, you know, running your bank up and to wake up at four in the morning to realize your homeboy just, just robbed you. It is, it is, it is crazy. It is insane, but it's fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yo, it's so funny, me and Jay both so Cleveland, we get so pissed off just to come back around and be like, yeaah, they gon' win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm with you. So I've been looking at this series, right? And Orlando to me, they remind me so much of the Cleveland Cavaliers last season. This is a very young, athletic, long, physical team, but they lack playoff experience, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A team that kinda exceeded expectations for this year. As you like to say, Jason, they are a year ahead of whatever their plan is. And I think that, you know, the physicality is something that worries me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's something that worries me, but the fact that the Cavs have took that nasty ale the way that they did last year, got that sour taste in their mouth, I believe in humility before honor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think the cast having that experience, despite what it went on in this regular season, I think that gives them an advantage over a very young athletic physical team. Um, got a pretty good head coach who already signed an extension. I just think this is one of those situations to where.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, the Cavs got the best player overall. And Donovan Mitchell, they have the experience. And I think that uhm, I think they gonna show up, they show out. I got the Cavs in 6-2.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got, we got something for Pablo though. I think, uh, and Jason, correct me if I'm wrong, man, but it seems like every time I've seen the cast player Orlando Magic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Isaac Okoro seems to be able to, you know, be able to play very well against him defensively. Uhm, you, another thing with Orlando Jalen Suggs is one of the better defensive guards in the NBA. Yes, he is. So a hobbled Donovan Mitchell matched up against him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Worries me a little bit, I think their backcourt defensively is one of the best overall in an NBA. There are things there that worry me, but the Cavs are a better three-point shooting team, and the Cavs seem to, I think the Cavs like average 28 assists per game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This season Orlando was bottom third, 24.4. So if the cast can, you know, get the ball movement going, players just hitting shots and they hitting the threes, I think that's where the cast, another area outside of just experience where the cast have the advantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You want to put yourself in the best position possible to get the most favorable matchup in the first round. And if you can hit the ground running, then you know what? Let everything else take care of itself. Because you really can't control who your opponent is in round two. We might be looking ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nine times out of ten is going to be Boston, but Boston still got to make sure that they take care of their business too. So for the cast, for me, I looked at it like, okay, this is the matchup that they see, they look at as the most favorable, favorable matchup for them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's get in the playoffs, let's get this round one win and then take it from there and see what happens.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was at the Cavs game yesterday. I didn't see it, but I heard it when I was walking to the garage to my car. I was just trying to hurry up and get the hill from downtown before everything went crazy. I guess my biggest takeaway is like seeing Jimenez get that hit.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, it kind of lets me know that he's back offensively. We already know what he does defensively. He's having a tremendous start. To not get swept by the first real team that you face this year, I'll take that. Anytime that you can beat the Yankees, that's a plus. I know the double header didn't go all that great. I didn't watch any of the games. I was pretty busy. Jason, I heard it was a play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, I think it was the second game Saturday. The, the Guardians had a chance for, for a triple play and they came away with this situation with no outs at all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mike, Mike, Mike, before you move on, I'll be damned if I'll ask this question because I'm sitting here with some baseball gurus, right? So last week he gave us a topic of possible replacements for Shane Bieber. Started doing some research, trying to figure out guys and this particular guy that's currently on the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tyler Beatty, with I do know 2014 first round pick of the Giants.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Didn't really pan out as a starter there. He's been great for the Guardian since he's been here and was actually credited for the win, uh, yesterday. If everything else goes to fail, nobody else seems to step up and, you know, really show that they can be a productive starter, what's the chances that this dude gets an opportunity to be like your fifth starter?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just draft the best available player, you know, uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chris, Chris Broswell for example. 40, uh, ranked 42nd player, 42nd ranked player in the draft getting him at 54. The Browns really don't have much depth at the linebacker position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Michael Hall Jr. defensive tackle from Ohio State. Anytime that you can get a buckeye in a Cleveland Browns uniform, I think all the fans will score that. Uh, MJ Devonshire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Greg, Greg Newsome, fifth year option is a thing that'll be picked up, but the cornerback position that probably be a position of need, maybe a season or two. So a guy that you can kick the can down the road on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] JVon Cohen is a combo offensive lineman. We all know Andrew Berry loves versatility on the offensive line. And then in typical Andrew Berry fashion, I went and got a wide receiver late.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's, that's kind of like my thinking. I want a wide receiver too, but when the draft simulator, the way it fell, um, no wide receivers was available at said picks that I felt like, that I liked, that I felt like I wasn't reaching for. And so when I seen Chris Broswell from Alabama, okay, Alabama linebackers tend to play pretty well.

[Assistant] And the NFL, and out of all the positions on the Browns roster, linebacker seems to be the one with the least amount of depth to it. I kept trying to find a wide receiver each round. I said, you know what? I'm not going to force it. And so I just started looking ahead to next year. The Browns got all they draft picks next year. You guys like, guys like Ibuku who's coming out. Travis Hunter from Colorado will probably be coming out, so.

[Assistant] Just like it's a lot of top draft prospects at wide receiver this year, I think the wide receiver position coming out of college next year be strong to where if the Browns and Andrew Barry don't get the coveted wide receiver they won't this year, don't force it.

[Assistant] Draft depth, draft best player available, and you can go get your home one wide receiver in the draft next year. Because if you're telling me, like, as bad as we know, like, guys wanted Marvin Harrison Jr., probably no shot at that. But if you got a shot at a Travis Hunter, and then Ibuka has a good year at Ohio State this year, and he's coming out next year, I'm cool with that as well.

[Assistant] Looking for a rookie to be the saving grace, right? We talk all the time about the browse needed receiver, the browse needed receiver.

[Assistant] This is not 2011 when you're looking at Greg Little to come in here and be your saving grace on offense, right? Or, or Brian Hrabisky or, or on defense and Cameron Wimbley, et cetera. I can remember so many different Cleveland Browns drafts to where as a fan, it's like, okay, this first round pick or this second round pick.

[Assistant] I'm depending on this dude to change the fortunes of the Cleveland Browns franchise. And to see how this thing has been organically built out, the culture that's changed, the depth on the roster, the talent on this roster, to where you can go into this draft in 2024 and know, okay, we need guys for depth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We need guys that might be, you know, priority or rotational players down the road, two or three seasons down the road. It feels good from a fan perspective to be in that position for the Cleveland Browns versus what we're used to.

[Assistant] I mean, I think continuity is important as long as it's good continuity. You can have toxic and unhealthy continuity for forever, but I think in this case here, you have two men that seem to mesh well together, that seem to get along very well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just the chemistry and philosophy, uh, the fact that they're both very transparent. They can bounce back and forth off of each other. I think that helps a lot. Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry plays a significant role in the Cleveland Browns changing their overall culture. That's just the reality of the situation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And so they've proven to be good human beings, they've proven to be good at, you know, their occupation, and they have the respect of the players, the owners, and it seems like they're gaining respect from other execs across the NFL. The Browns finally have good continuity.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think having continuity and good continuity is two different things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a healthy situation. It seems to be, uh, growing. It seems like the seeds that's been been sold is being watered and you're watering a healthy garden here to continue to have a winning franchise, a healthy culture, a culture and somewhere that players actually want to come play at going forward.

[Assistant] Everybody else. Everybody else. They had the best pass catch in tight end tandem that I think you would ever see. Maybe ever.

[Assistant] They not, but to answer his question because he paid for the super chat, shout out to you for that, Paul D. Podesta, I don't think is going nowhere.

[Assistant] It's a mornin'. Bull is speaking at the Jewish Community Center this morning, so he is not in. Jay is usually off on Thursdays, as is G. Bush. So I'm fillin' in for Bull. We have Jason Lloyd. We have Tyvis Powell. We have Anthony and Earl behind the glass. Director Steve in the building. And we got a jam-packed show for you guys comin' up. But first...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do want to address something that Jason sent to the group chat last night, which Anthony just referenced.

[Assistant] You're not- I'm hittin' miss. No, no, you're- you're hit or miss. G is consistently.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, and I would actually say ehm, if the bar of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 100% is G always sends his stuff in and 0 is G does not send it in. Where do you think G's at? Has he, has he dropped below the 50% line of what we asked from G? Yea, he's probably at like...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Jay Crawford's the consistently most late, but he's also... I'm never worried about Jay not being here.

[Assistant] A little bit of breaking Brown's news to start the show. Two days ago, it was the one day contrast for Christian Kirksey, Richard Higgins. Yesterday was the white face mask. And this morning...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns have signed offensive tackle Jermaine Effett, who came to the league with Tivus Palos. So Tivus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell the good people of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show World what they need to know about offensive lineman Jermaine Affetti.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Fetty's an A&M guy. Yes, Texas A&M. He's an Aggie. He started in the league at tackle. He started in the league at guard. He hasn't been a full-time starter since the 2021 season, but when you're looking around at this Brown's roster,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They have three tackles who frankly aren't healthy right now. So you need strictly bodies for camp. And I'm not sure this is just a camp body. I think Jermaine Affetti has a much higher upside than just a camp body than Leroy Watson or whatever guy they had in that role last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I'm not sure Conklin, Dewan Jones, or Jed Wills, any of those guys will be ready for full-time workload in these OTAs in this training camp period dive. So to bring him in, a guy with the pedigree he has as a first-round draft pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He started over 40 games at Tackle in the league. He has 10 starts in the interior. You're at the guard position. So he gives you a little versatility. And working with Andy Dickerson now, I mean, I just think he's familiar with him from Seattle.
