[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it 18? Well, it's four teams. You play three times, two, six times three teams is 18. So there's 18. You're guaranteed 18. Yeah, he's right on that one.

[Assistant] Nancy understood that it was a defilement of the tabernacle of our democracy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There is, to her, a real sacredness to it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And uh, Tuesday nights, they would always have dinner, all kinds of conversations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talk right over you. And there is that famous conversation of, of, uh, the guys talking about when their children were born and how difficult it was for them. So, uh, Nancy remembers it well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nancy was the baby, and the only girl. So uhm, she was extraordinarily special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because her mother and father wanted to know how the campaign was going.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So he came out, he, uh, surveyed everything. He went home and reported to his mother and father, uh, that she had a superb ground operation. And superb it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nancy picked up the phone and called at that time, uh, secretary of the treasury, Hank Paulson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she said, I'm not comfortable with what I'm reading. I think that we need to meet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There were some of us that were hiding in a uh, in a room.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And she came to that room and she announced that we were going to be going back into session, that it was essential for the people of our country and the people around the world to see that our democracy would continue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next stop, Main Street. Well, this is our stop.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The message was that the highest thing you could aspire to and should aspire to, um, was married motherhood, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Through the years in which she was having babies and raising them as a stay at home mother.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She described on Halloween going with the stroller brigade pamphleting apartments.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pelosi makes a remarkably rich target for the right wing. Pelosi and her crew have been trying to undermine the troops since we went into Iraq. She is a woman who is challenging the president and the head of the Republican party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Within a capitalist white patriarchy, Nancy Pelosi is a person who is not supposed to have the authority.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To talk back to the President of the United States during a war, right? So, she is a tremendous threat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She describes loving motherhood. She describes loving having babies. But it's also true that Nancy Pelosi has been one of the most powerful women in American politics, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a way of sanding down the edges of, I'm the most powerful woman you've ever dealt with.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She simply did not express or share her interior life with the public.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a Trump state of the union. You get the shot of the president, the vice president and the speaker.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We know that political media analyzes every eye roll, every decision to stand or not stand, to clap or not clap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I haven't seen you, and I don't even know how long. 45 days? Well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had to sleep under Liz for three years and you know how bad that girl smells.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm making sure I don't get caught with a firefly in my room. Relax. There are no soldiers on the entire floor. Here, congrats. Hey!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are we cool? I disappeared and you're mad. And I owe you an explanation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ellie, that was the first thing I asked my mom. She wants you safe at that stupid school. I'm not even supposed to come see you. Why does she care? She's worried I'll get you into trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whoo. That's strong. Come on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey look, there's an opening over here. Alright, be careful in there. Why am I not?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No fucking way! I told you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Use this to move. This is your punch, this is your kick, and you go up with this. Okay. First, you have to choose your character. You're playing as the unstoppable, claw-wielding, yet drop-dead gorgeous, Angel Knife.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She stands on the edge of the Shadow Temple, an ancient mystical building where they hold the tournaments of the immortals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your opponent, Black Fang, steps out of the temple.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Round one starts. Black Fang rushes towards you. He throws a double punch in your direction. Jump up!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Leave what? Boston. I'm supposed to join a group in another city. I argued with them to stay here. But you know how Marlene is. Nothing's easy with her. Everything's a test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What do you want me to say? I don't know, how about some friendly advice? I'm serious. Why did you bring me here?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm supposed to be holed up on the other side of town. I get caught as a firefly, I'm dead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guilt didn't make me cross a city full of soldiers, Ellie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And yeaah, I did some shit that I don't know how to take back, but... I'm trying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I nearly got shot for these. Surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You barely even hit me. You're drenched. Okay. You count to five, I'll go hide, and we'll hunt each other. Whoever gets it first, loses. Fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still like that Walkman around? Always. Let me see it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's just wait it out. You know, we can be all poetic and just lose our minds together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are a million ways we should have died before today. And a million ways we can die before tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we fight for every second we get to spend with each other.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's two minutes or two days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pelosi has spent her 15 years in the House crusading for liberal causes. Abortion rights, AIDS funding, the environment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Your body's not that old. Better keep your eyes and ears open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. That completely smashes our previous record of $26,000 just last month for Cincinnati Children's Hospital.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you guys sincerely so much for helping out. You guys do not know how much of a difference you have made.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I still feel bad because I don't want to betray you guys' trust, and I don't want anyone out there to get the wrong idea that I'm-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Skimming off the surface, or I'm taking a cut, because I am not. I'm not taking a penny off of this. Only the money that goes towards the production cost and the company is- is what is taken away from this. Every other penny goes towards the charity. But I still may-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I still feel bad. Because I don't want people to get the wrong idea. Your trust is so important to me in this thing. So to try to make it up for you, I will also be making a personal contribution of $2,000 in addition to the $45,000 that you guys raised through the shirt sales.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I obviously couldn't give everyone a shirt, so this was kind of a compromise for the best of both worlds. So even though I may feel bad, you guys should not. You have done an incredible thing. Absolutely amazing good that you have done, and I am so grateful that you guys believe in me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I-I-I can't even imagine that we would have been here a year ago. I mean, I think in the charity livestream we did a year ago, we raised maybe $2,000. And to go from that to $45,000 is-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's just unbelievable to me, and I am so grateful that you guys are here supporting me. Sincerely, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I mean, this channel that we've been building has been growing astronomically, and it's all thanks to you guys. Sincerely, this channel would not grow if it wasn't you spreading the word about it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sharing videos with friends is one thing, but also spreading the message of the good that we do through these charity livestreams is even more important to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So please keep doing it, keep it up, because for every new person that gets in here is more good than we can do for these charities. So, please spread the word. Don't just tell them about the videos that I make that are kinda funny. I mean, do that if it helps it out, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really, tell them about the good that we have done, because this community that we have been building, and this community that we have here,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And that's why this trust between us is so important and that's why I want you guys to believe in me and believe that I am 100% committed to doing good for the world and I don't want like anything for myself. I wanna give as much as possible and I'm so glad that you guys wanna give too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, a year ago some people were skeptical that we were actually doing any good, but now it cannot be denied how much good we're doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys so much for everything that you've done, and thank you so much for believing me. Please continue to go out and tell people about this and what we do here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And we will create something absolutely incredible. I can't wait to see what we do a year from today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So sincerely, thank you guys so much for watching, thank you so much for donating, and thank you so much for believing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jesus loves me this I know For the Bible tells me so Little ones to him be Long there are weak but he


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, good for nothing hoodlums, get the hell out of here! God!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beat it! Yo, I'll take no good cracks!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Democrats' healthcare overhaul. Finally, a series of votes last night put it over the top.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Follow me. Sorry about the whole gun thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My backpack is practically empty. What's the rule about taking stuff? It weighs like nothing. The rule? What is it? We only take what we have to. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Few days. We found a bit of food though. Here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What if the people are still inside? What if they're trapped in there without any control of their body?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Henry says that they've moved on. That they're with their families. Like in heaven.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, so I was just talking about that play and how much Denzel Ward really does matter and how the Browns defense is so much about that front but also about the back end, the rush and the coverage together. It seems like Joe Burrow is good to go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So perhaps it is fortuitous that they are seeing a quarterback who hasn't had any sort of preseason snaps and hasn't.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that just not practicing is a piece of the puzzle as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It would be hard to argue and say, oh, he needs to work on his timing with Joe Barrow and T, I mean with, sorry, excuse me, with Jamar Chase and with T Higgins and with Tyler Boyd, because obviously he doesn't, but there's still something to be said for practice.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that says something that you were fast enough to be able to do that. But anyway, going back to this whole piece of it, I do think that Joe Burrow


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not having a regular camp and perhaps shaking a little bit of rust off against a Brown's defensive front that fancies itself as being the most disruptive in the NFL or certainly is laying that as a goal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of a leadership role a year ago, but I think establishing himself as not only the unequivocal leader, but a good teammate, but a guy that his teammates trust in someone that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For no reason, but the truth of the matter is here is like, he is the captain. There's no question. Anybody that watches this team sees that he's the leader of the offense.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sorry, Chris Jones is not coming to Cleveland. He's not going anywhere! Adida, just wanted to let you know, on this topic,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There you go. Kansas City, they'll figure it out. You know, it's interesting that there's all of these going on right now. Nick Bosa, Chris Jones, how will it all play out?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't, I think that Kansas City will figure it out. I don't think that there's any doubt how Kansas City values Chris Jones. It's just figuring out how to best


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, and that's where it's all far more complicated. When do you become vested and this and that? It's just, it's so hard to, I learned a long time ago when you talk about somebody else's money,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're messing with your grapes while you're like walking through the aisles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's the whole point. The Browns believe that they can be so disruptive up front.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And they need to be. And the thing is, is that when Joe Borrow is 100% healthy, he is really good at moving, at sliding out of the pocket, at making things happen. We don't expect him to be 100% right now because of that calf. So make life hard for him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He does not, but he's the coach. He's the coach. And so at the end of the day, what's the line? The buck stops here. It all starts with him. And if a player is not ready to play...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then how often does the coach hear it, that he didn't get the player ready to play?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the end of the day, the players play the game, yes, but the coaches are the ones that get them ready and have them in the right mindset and all of that. That's why coaches lose jobs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's up guys? Uh, you forgot one important topic today, Bull. This one was something you actually teased up probably three weeks ago we've been saving for the right day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It really is. There's a couple topics today that are Garrett Bush. I mean listen, G Bush is everywhere. He's on national podcasts. G real quick before we hop into stuff today. What was the reaction to your appearance on the Bill Simmons podcast?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I also want to say thank you to G. He gave me a shout out on the podcast. Shout it out, Emerson College. I got so many texts yesterday, G, from people who I haven't talked to forever being like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And G, it's for you. This comes from Julian Anthony. He says, yo, make sure G Bush sees this. Congrats on the appearance with Bill Simmons. Huge fan of the ringer. You're making big moves, man. Love to see it. So G, Julian, we agree from back here, everyone in Cleveland agrees, continued success. And we are, we are glad to have you as a stapler.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We got a lot of stuff to get to, and let's start today, Bull, with some of the Browns' moves yesterday. They claimed a defensive back from the Chiefs. They let go of AJ Green. They signed three new players to the practice squad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alex Leatherwood, PJ Walker, and a kicker from Arizona whose first name is my last name, Lucas Haversic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kalef Halasi is I believe how you pronounce it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two things real quick on Leatherwood. When Jed Wills was at Alabama playing right tackle, do you know who the Crimson Tides left tackle was?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Go ahead, Mike. Uh, two things on the practice squad I want to ask you about. Then we can move on because we have some other pressing topics to get to. Uh, first and foremost, we talked a little bit about it yesterday, both towards the end of the show, but Jason wasn't here and Gina get a chance to chime in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 12 players they brought back, Cleveland brought back, went unclaimed by their teams, no waiver wire requests for Austin Watkins, among others. Are you surprised none of the guys got picked up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One last thing I want to point out, and then we'll move on to Joe Burrow and the week one game for the Browns, but there's only 16 practice squad spots. Not many teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He worked with Feely and covered Feely in Tampa, but-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The kicker, the brown sign, by the way, Lucas Harvissic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] According to ESPN, has never kicked a real field goal in the NFL.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have a read to do, and then we will talk about Bull's number one love, Joe Burrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you have not already hit the like button and the subscribe button for you all to be included in the sports show, I highly encourage you guys to do so. We really appreciate it. It helps us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Beyond what you can imagine the YouTube algorithms in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Can't give you all the exact numbers, but this month has been a spectacular month for the UCS squad. Our biggest month ever. And it's because of you guys. It's you guys who helped make this possible and to help us out even more, just click that like button, hit that subscribe button. It's completely free and I cannot emphasize enough how much it helps us on the back end.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In terms of the YouTube algorithms and putting our videos in front of new audiences and it's because of you that we keep doing this cool stuff. We have a major announcement next week that I cannot wait to share with you guys. And from the bottom of my heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From the bottom of Anthony's heart, from the top of director Steve's head, from Earl's bedroom, where he's recovering from an illness right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But for now, what Bull's excited about is this tag board I'm about to take. Uh, Steve, please take tag board full. Bull, you wanna explain what this means?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have not seen any update on Denzel Ward. The latest that I've read is he's still in concussion protocol. And they're going to proceed with caution.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have a read real quick and I have a poll that I think is going to shock you guys. But first, whenever we asked the YouTube chat, a question that's brought to us.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buy our dear friends at PCC Airfoils. If you're looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits, well, PCC Airfoils is the leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the UCSS sponsorship routine, uh, catalog, excuse me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have over 400 votes in this poll. I put it up as G. Bush said it earlier. Simple question. Do you want to play against Joe Burrow in week one? Do you want him to play? Before I tell you the answer, what do you think the chat said?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so maybe you can predict the chat. 79% of 322 votes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Say yes, they want to play Joe Burrow. And one comment in particular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are, and you know what? I'm not even going to do it fast for you because we have big numbers of just different. But before we go on, Bull, this is not a fashion. This is for the people. This is for everybody out there. The chat wants you to do something for them, Bull. Yeah, what? Chat wants to know, do you love the chat?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was my no joke and then we'll get on to the next topic. My first death threat was the I made it moment of my career.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, so how we're gonna do this is I'm gonna give you guys a team, and these are not the AFC North teams. Bull just mentioned we've done a lot of AFC North preview. We'll do our official picks next week, but this is just to get a little feeler out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For how we look at the competitiveness of the AFC and Jason alluded to something in our pre-show meeting and Jason


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You never sent me that. So I'm going to ask you to mention the projected win totals based on the simulation and you can explain that. But let's start with the team who is the defending Superbowl champions. The Kansas City Chiefs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do have a proposed trade from a fan on Chris Jones if you want to hear that real quick. Go ahead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's a new one, a different one. Uh, but Will Strong said Joe Burrow hasn't played anything against Cleveland yet. Uh, we'll get to this trade offer. This is from Professor Chaos. Do you think the Chiefs would accept Denzel Ward a second and a fifth for Chris Jones?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I just want to talk about Chris Jones, figure me that out there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes. Good very well. Go ahead, Mike. How do you guys feel about the Chiefs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jason told me beforehand, I meant to say that last night, I forgot. In a pre-show meeting, Jason goes, I'm gonna send it to you right now. It is 11.45.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got Jason's text, Jason, thank you. Next up is a team in this simulation has the same projected win total as the Browns. That is the Los Angeles Chargers. How do you think they match up with Cleveland?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, what do you think? On a scale of 1 to 10, if you think Cleveland is X, where's Los Angeles?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No matter how you want to slice and dice it, the AFC top to bottom is unprecedentedly loaded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Always hurt too. Always just got injured to the day. I don't, what's that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next up, this team only has a very nice 6.9 projected wins in this 10,000 simulation project. That is the New England Patriots. Are you guys buying Bill Belichick or No Chance in the AFCs?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm with you, okay, next up, a team that is just below.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Browns. The Browns at 9.1. The Miami Dolphins at 9.0. How do the Browns stack up against the Dolphins?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hain from Texas A&M. Who's my guy by the way? That's my guy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there's a super chat from AlwaysBalling7 who just wanted us to know that Jalen Waddle was involved in those trade discussions, which is why Miami had no interest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no way in hell, hell would freeze over before


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Singletary is not on that team anymore. No, James Cooks, they're starting running back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Mary Kay, by the way, just tweeted out 26 seconds ago, Denzel Ward still in concussion protocol, will not practice today. So that's a situation we will monitor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just want to throw it out there. And before we do our next team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta get a read in real quick. So if you guys don't mind, let me remind everybody that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you are looking for brown's gear this upcoming season, the only place...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The shop for Brown's gear is fanatics.com slash UCSS. If you use that link fanatics.com slash UCSS, get all the same deals you would normally on fanatics. You just help us out on the back and you get elf gear, just like G bushes, rocking hats, sweatshirts, jerseys, t-shirts, long sleeves, whatever you need. You can find it at fanatics.com slash UCSS. That's why I got this at fanatics.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's beautiful, I actually bought some stuff to the day there, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They finish with the same record, or do the Browns finish with a better record? There's three options. Better, worse, or same. Than the Jets? Than the Jets.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They also have a head to head week 17. December 28th. It's a Thursday night game. That's going to be prime time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They seem very similar to the Browns with a tough start. It gets a little easier towards the end, but those two teams are going to be right neck and neck. We have two more teams.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jacksonville, which in the projected simulations 9.8 wins to Cleveland's 9.4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Trevor Lawrence is special. Yeah, I do too. And the addition of Calvin Ridley, even it takes him a little bit to get going. I'm buying all the Jacks. I think Jack's supposed to be really fricking good this year. I'm not buying Jacksonville. You had to take a step back.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lamar is way younger than you think he is. How old is he? Lamar Jackson. I need a second hand to type.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The more he's only 26, he's been in the league for, this is going to his fifth year, he's only 26 years old.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, last team real quick, we'll go through this one quick, cause I don't think anyone's gonna say they're on the same level as the Browns, but Tennessee, they were in the same realm on this projection, but you guys don't think Tennessee is in this conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 53% said the Jets, everything else was kind of scattered around. They were higher on the Dolphins than the Chargers, but the Jets, the primary team they're looking at as the direct, this could be the team either us or them in the flash five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Jets had 53 and the other two were close. So, they're pretty in line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 32 and 32, number five, Omari Cooper, the Browns number one receiver entering the season. Where did you have Mr. Cooper on your list?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You need to have Stefan... Let's focus on Cooper now. We'll get to the rest of us when we get to the top 5. But, I think personally...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amari Cooper could, and I say could because I do think the targets to be spread around so evenly throughout this offense. That's what Deshaun does best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite that, could have his biggest season in the history of his career. He's never even had 1200 yards. So the biggest season for him is not like breaking NFL records, but he's in a place now with Nick Chubb.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Elijah Moore and Joku, DPJ, weapons on the outside and a quarterback who is as good at extending and creating plays outside of the script as maybe anyone outside of my homes. I think he could be, he's in for a big season, big, big season. That's why I had him in number five.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That was quick. You guys ready for some fake trades? Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Make sure you start the clip with me saying, let me preface this. I'm not saying this is gonna happen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] These are just trades that I think would make the upcoming season more fun. Simply that. This is not projections, this is just things I would love to see that I know aren't gonna happen, but would make the upcoming season a lot more fun. So, I think they're all in the realms of the right


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The first one does involve Jonathan Taylor. Are you going to say who came up with these trades? Yeaah, this is mine. Jonathan Taylor to the Eagles for Jordan Davis and a fourth round pick next year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jordan Davis was a first round pick last year at a premium position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He is now second team on the depth chart after they drafted Jalen Carden in the first round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He played a ton of preseason staff, so maybe they're not as high on him to get a former first round pick who was considered one of the top prospects in the draft back for Jonathan Taylor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To me, feels like a pretty decent return, and the Eagles are in win now mode. They're not paying Jalen Hurts his extension as a kick-in til next year. They're running back cores, talented, but injury prone. And if you're the Eagles...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before Jalen Hurts contract kicks in, this is when you go full send, all in, balls on the table. This is put up or shut up. Adding Jonathan Taylor to that offense, behind that offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you think Jonathan Taylor in that E, let's say it was Davis in a second round pick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, next up is a Cooper Cup trade that I came up with. We'll do your Cooper Cup trade. Next ball, they're very, very similar though. Okay. So, and we have Tyvis' answer to your trade. But first,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Giants don't have a bonafide number one receiver. The Rams may decide to blow it up this year. What about Cooper Cup to the Giants?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You think that's too much? Cause that's less than what Bulls gonna offer in the next trade.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think he's 30 right now. Hold on, I'll look it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They tripped up. Oh, it's back. Okay, we're good. We're good. Uh, no, he just got traded for a first and a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that leads us to the next one then. This is Bulls trade for Cooper Cup and we will listen to Tyvis. Before you guys answer, I'll tell you the trade, we'll listen to Tyvis and then we can do this. But Steve, will you take the next trade? 221 here first. This is Bulls Cooper Cup trade. Nope. This, yep, this is it. You're right. You take it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cooper Cup to the Rams, to the Chiefs, excuse me, for a first update and a second. And before you guys chime in, let's hear Tyvis on this trade. Of course he wants the Chief to have him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This next one's less of a blockbuster, it involves the Browns.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I do think this trade would make the season more fun because I think it makes the Browns better. Very simple, very basic, a straight up player for player. DPJ to the Bears for Jack Sanborn. If you guys don't know who Jack Sanborn was, he started six games at linebacker last season. He's a rookie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In his six starts, 64 tackles, two sacks, two force fumbles, five tackles for loss, and a safety.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The Bears went out and signed three linebackers this offseason, including giving


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not fully buying in that walker, talkie talkie, and the rest of the linebackers are healthy enough to perform at the level of Sanborn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He only got six star, he started the last six games of the season, was beyond productive.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is my show. We'll get to Earl's last. Earl's is the very last one. We talked about two at Tagliola. Dolphins need to be healthy if they're going to compete for a playoff spot. Their offensive line is abysmal. Last season in Las Vegas, Colton Miller was the fifth highest graded right tackle in football. Two is a lefty. The right tackle is his blind side. So, what if you swap Colton Davis to the Dolphins?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Raekwon Davis, Colton Miller, excuse me. For Raekwon Davis, a fifth and a third. Raekwon Davis defensive tackle plays alongside Christian Wilkins who was one of the highest rated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, well then we're getting in the next one. Well, we're getting in the next one then. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Aaron Donald for Greg Newsome, Dewan Jones, and a third round pick. What do you think of the compensation? Is that fit? Before we show the next one, is this compensation in the right range? Too much, too little. What do you think?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Earl said they want to clear cap space and they could always re-sign DPJ.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We do have Tyvis responding to this trade. Uh, Tyvis, what do you say about this?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, to give you all a little context, we came up with these, or, Earl gave me his yesterday morning when he was in. And Anthony, who usually edits with his headphones on, and kind of is in his own world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Took his headphones off to listen to this. Now Anthony admittedly


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's not like a Madden GM, like Anthony's not- and Anthony, if you wanna hop on the mic at any point, you can chime in. Like-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Usually when me and Earl are going back and forth, Anthony kind of sits off to the side and chimes in when he feels necessary. And when Earl proposed that, Anthony looked at him like he had 12 heads. And if Anthony says that, that's how I knew, I was like, yeah, might not be his best, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went back and forth on this for like 10 minutes. No. He said Jones knew some in a third was way too much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is a great tease. And Jason, thank you for that. That was an elite transition, but before we get to the topic itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shoppers are running back. This is Producer Thinking, right? Next week, what if we did a topic on what is each Browns player's current trade value? That'd be fun, or would you guys hate that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have a new one from him. Okay, he's rich. In Joku, two seconds and a first for George Kittle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In Joku, two second round picks and a first for George Kittle.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we wrap up the show, there are two membership tiers of the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show for $1.99 a month that gets you a starters tier membership, which gets you custom loyalty badges and emojis and special members only community posts for $4.99 a month. You get all those same starter tier perks, discount codes for merch, overtime videos daily.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have some really cool stuff come up there in football season that'll be added to that starter's tier tier. And that is for, uh, coaches tier tier, excuse me. And that's 4.99 a month. So if you're not a member and you want to be on our YouTube page, hit that join button and we appreciate it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So this last segment is something that I call the G-Bush Kool-Aid Special.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is the G-Bush Absolute Kool-Aid special. It was designed with G-Bush in mind. I know Jason hates this stuff. I know Bull hates this stuff, but I know G loves it so much that we had to do it anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cleveland Brown's traded the supposed to be backup quarterback to Arizona to elevate him to quarterback too. There's two parts of this question. I'm going to ask this first. I'll chime back in and ask the second one, but let's start with this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of those three, DTR, Dewan Jones, who we wouldn't trade for Stefan Diggs, or Amani Bates.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The second question, and at the end of this, I will give you a second option, but of those three, DTR, Dewan Jones, Amani Bates, who has the best chance to develop


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] into a superstar on the field. Obviously, quarterback would get more superstar attention than an offensive tackle, but who is the best chance to develop into a superstar on the field and or on the court depending on


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, as far as the, which has the best chance to become a star, before I give you the second level. Well we initially asked the community tab.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] DTR had 20%, Amani Bates had 16. If I included the options to go those three, Gavin Williams, Bo Naylor, and Tanner Bybee.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any of those three, with that surplant, Dewan Jones, is who you think has a chance to be a legitimate star.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now let's do real quick before we wrap up here. Percentage chance for each one. We'll start with Jones. Percentage chance you see him becoming


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A star in the national. And you could use stuff, let's just say a Pro Bowl. Let's give it the Pro Bowl caliber.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we do that, I just looked and this is a one draft class comparison, but 2021. So two years ago, two fourth round picks from that class have made a Pro Bowl. Any idea who they are? I'll give you 30 seconds. That's less than 8%.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and there's extra fourth round picks because there's a lot of, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, no, no 4th round picks for Pro Bowlers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I just mean I've made a Pro Bowl in their careers to this point. Oh, okay, so yeaah, so. And I'm back to 2019 real quick, uh, Max Crosby was a fourth round pick, he's made a Pro Bowl, uh, CJ Gardner Johnson has made a Pro Bowl, uh, the Browns took, Tony Pollard made a Pro Bowl last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's your percentage chance that DTR becomes a star?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wins a starting quarterback job in the NFL for a team that's not like Arizona right now. Officially attempting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gbush real quick because we gotta do one more. What's your percentage? Five. Jason?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last but not least, we have 90 seconds for a wrap. Also, huge numbers again today. Shout out to you. I'm talking to you specifically, not the person next to you for tuning in today. Thanks, Imani Bates to become a starting three in the NBA. What percentage chance?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is it. We'll see you in overtime. Big numbers again today. You guys are the best. Peace!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The mob was fed lies. They were provoked by the president.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Woah, woah, you're thinking of Theon Greyjoy. Davos had his fingertips cut off, his penis is fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There are some news stories that help us understand the world we live in. And there are some news stories that are just stupid. For those, we turn to Ronny Chieng.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you. America has a problem with food. You guys want your food to be cheap and fast, but also to be fresh and healthy. That's too many things, okay? You can't have both. It's like racial diversity at a ski lodge. It doesn't exist. And when Americans don't get everything they expect from their food, you end up with dumb lawsuits, like this one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay? People love chocolate so much that Willy Wonka killed kids and we didn't even care.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so I get where this lady is coming from. I would also be pissed. Because you can't sell a snack called potato skins if it doesn't have any potatoes in it. Okay? Imagine if you got tickets to a Beyonce concert, and when you got there, I came out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But still, how is this lady suing for five million dollars? Like, how much did she spend on these potato skins? Four dollars? Okay, well then she gets the four dollars back, okay? In fact, you know what? Here's a ten. Okay, go buy yourself thirty seconds of therapy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, that way, you're not just selling a snack, you're selling a mystery. Seriously, America, you can't keep suing everything, okay? Just accept the fact that everyone is lying to you. Companies are lying to you, the government is lying to you, your wife is cheating on you with me. Nothing is real, okay? You can't even trust water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think America would have fewer lawsuits if people were more skeptical what they put in their bodies in the first place. And if you ask me, this is just a scheme people are using to try and get rich, which is why I'm also joining in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's not the question I asked. Well, that's the answer I gave you. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Florida, is yours working? Oh, definitely. Your unemployment website is working. Oh, I thought you were asking about my ass and these shorts. Why would I even? Yeah, that site's not working.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did hand out physical applications though. Are you processing those? Probably not. How's your call center? You can try that number if you want to.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, do you guys like me? Colorado, are you high right now? Yeah, this whole thing gave me anxiety, so I got high and ordered a bathtub of green chili.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know how many actors and comedians li- I mean, unemployed people live in LA alone? This ain't new.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What are you doing for us? I have approved $1,200 checks for all individuals. That's 960 white cloth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's right. When can we expect those checks DC? Three weeks. Are you sure? Not at all. Wait.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How can we make a FEMA claim if the hurricane hasn't even hit yet?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lieutenant, my name is Madison Page. I'm a journalist. I have proof that Ethan Mars is innocent. He's not the origami killer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mars didn't do it for Christ sakes! He's innocent!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got the impression that he was our, a person of our generation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That affords the heads of companies who wanted to list their shares on the market to sign a disclaimer that they don't allow corruption practices within their companies.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the same time, by 2003, corruption was already the key method of state governance used by the bureaucrats, and bureaucrats started to demand the kind of money that was impossible to hide.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One has to make a choice, build companies that are open.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Did not accuse him personally of corruption, and this is not how he took it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I did accuse his inner circle and him of creating a model that uses corruption as his backbone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And he told me that we too stood part in creating that model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did not argue with him, I said, we may have started that, but we must be the ones to end it. Did I realize it would provoke Putin's displeasure? Of course it did. But I thought he would choose the European model, and I was not the only one thinking that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought he could build a sort of a democratic model that he could control.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A model like this does not exist, so he started to slide towards, at first, mild totalitarianism, and then an increasingly harsh totalitarianism. If the situation develops further, he will reach a full totalitarian model.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hope that LEM terrorist group didn't put pressure on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sir, what is the connection between Inder's death and your fear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there was that expectation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think people had seen the financial crisis. There was obviously a lot of conduct that had gone on that was improper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think people were expecting to see some substantial prosecutions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was a little surprised, but I wasn't shocked. Uhm, these are hard cases to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I thought that that was a reasonable case for the government to bring. Uhm, now the fact that it's a reasonable case to bring doesn't mean you're always going to win.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that if you took every allegation that's made in, uh, Schneiderman's complaint and you accepted that as true and believed that you could prove that beyond a reasonable doubt, uhm, that could have been filed as a criminal case.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, I don't think people are breathing a sigh of relief given the level of other litigation that's out there. However, I think there are probably a lot of individuals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, who have breathed signs of relief over the last two or three years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I started in the beginning of 2009,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where are anyone's parents? They've been gone a long, long time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, I've never been this close to the outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said that they have their own little quarantine zone, with doctors there still trying to find a cure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She never said, she only mentioned that it was someplace out west.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nothing, it's just... I've never seen anything like this, that's all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's say we get a car from this buddy of yours. Then what?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Man, that was close. Uh, thanks for the heroics and all.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'll go check out this side of the house.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Back at Bill's. I mean, all this stuff was just lying there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whew. There's our bridge. We're a little closer. I think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You were taking a really long time and I thought maybe he's gotten into trouble.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I sorta shot a rifle before, but it was at rats.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Don't worry. I would've probably done the same thing. Where you from?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, are you fucking kidding me? Thanks for the warning on the other side, guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Business as usual, right? When I was with Henry, I took out a couple of infected by myself. You'd be proud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know what? You two deserve a little privacy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's safe to say those two have officially bonded.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And how are we doing on canned peaches?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd say we all did pretty good back there. Especially you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, first of all, we're a team now. Okay, we're gonna help each other out. And second,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They might still look like people, but that person is not in there anymore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, well the serious talk, I almost forgot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There. If he doesn't know about it, he can't take it away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Jackson County. Means we're close to Jackson City, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How was it? You last sang the song.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is this really all they had to worry about? Boys. Movies. Deciding which shirt goes with which skirt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sorry about your daughter Joel, but I have lost people too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How many people do you think are there? Fireflies, I mean.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Any sudden moves and I put one right between your eyes. Ditto for buddy boy over there. What do you want?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So am I. Women and children, all very hungry too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buddy boy can go get it. He comes back with what I need. The deer is all yours. Anyone else shows up?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What? Tell them that Ellie is the little girl that broke your fucking finger!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Huh? Oh. Yeah, sure, that sounds great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I'm on this big plane full of people, and...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everyone is screaming and yelling because the plane's going down. So I walk to the cockpit, open the door, but there's no pilot. I try to use the controls, but I obviously have no clue how to fly a plane. And right before we crash, I wake up. I've never been on a plane. Isn't that weird?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maria showed this to me and I, uh, I stole it. I hope you don't mind.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My best friend was there. And she got bit too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her name was Riley, and she was the first to die. And then it was Tess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Swear to me that everything that you've said about the Fireflies is true.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, I see her. Wait, there's a bunch of them. Oh, awesome. They're fighting. I totally wanted to see this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, I'm boring. I got a big Spanish test coming up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I was just fooling around. I didn't take anything good. What did she say?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We found you last night. We sorta, like, ran into you. So, who is Mari Kita?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, my Spanish is so lame. I was trying to talk to you in the car, and it's like, I thought you were gonna kill me because my grammar sucks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Head shape? You almost died, but my dad patched you up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, uhm, I drank like four diet sodas earlier and I really have to pee like super bad. Go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, not really, just regular jungle crap, like trees and dirt and stuff. Everything looks the same out here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't see any cars on the main track, Dad. Get the power on. We're still going?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She needs you to carry boxes and stuff, not bring fugitives to justice. Let me help.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Seriously, I'm so turning the tables on the next dinosaur that tries to eat me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Looks like Dr. Sorkin wanted to turn this place into a dinosaur preserve instead of an amusement park.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dad, it's okay. I mean, it's safe, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dr. Sorkin? Laura. Uhm, Laura, what's lysine?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When I saw the helicopter crash into the jungle, I thought you guys were goners.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look, you don't have to worry about me, dad. I'm almost 15. I can take care of myself. I don't need you or mom or anyone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Damn it, you careless idiot. Uh, what was that thing? Some kind of spy gear?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got two very important things for you guys today. First and foremost, Director Steve is not here today, so I'm gonna pan the camera. And we have, drumroll please, Director Anthony for the very first time in his professional career is directing a live TV show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The guardians are taking on the Dodgers and it is on WKYC, the same building that we broadcast out of first pitch at seven 10. The broadcast starts at seven o'clock on WKYC. It's their fifth annual give-a-thon. So please tune in. If you can donate, that'd be awesome.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Dodgers, Guardians, seven o'clock tonight on WKYC. And for the first time in a long time bowl.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got two questions for you, Tyvis, I'll start with you, we'll go to Bolden, I'll ask my second one. Is this his last year or does he have one more in him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, whether or not this is the end, or he has one more year. Bull, I know you're the baseball expert out there today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Who do you think the Guardian should target as his replacement if he does decide to step away?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got one more point on Francona. Hey, for everyone out there, the next 90 minutes is all football. We promise you. I know any deviation from football is something that hurts the audience. So the next 90 minutes is all football with Francona saying this, whether or not this is his final goodbye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before we get to football, I want to let everybody know that tonight and by tonight, I really mean this afternoon about three, three 30, we're going to do our behind the glass podcast, Earl myself and DA AKA director Anthony hopping back on the mic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Preview some of the Kansas City Chiefs Cleveland Browns preseason game and talk a little more on everything we touched today with Terry Francona and others, but that's about three, three 30. We're going live, not in studio or back live, but we do a lot of the fan interactions like we had done in the past. So that is coming later today.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bull, this got brought up on the show a few weeks ago, and we've been saving it for a day where we needed something to talk about, and I think today's the perfect day to talk about it. The AFC North's a damn gauntlet. All four teams in the AFC North.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least in their respective fan bases think that their own team should be really, really good this year. There's not an easy game in the AFC North. Nope. No matter how good or bad you think the other three teams are outside of Cleveland. When you look at this division, where do the Browns stack up compared to Cincinnati, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, Earl ran upstairs, so he had to, uh, he was having some internet issues down here, so Earl's upstairs.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Director Anthony's directing and doesn't have a mic, so I'll, I'll give you guys what I think, and then I have a question for you guys, and also a PCC review, but we'll get to that in a little bit. But, I do think what G said is spot on. I think on paper,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In my opinion, the Browns, the Bengals and the Ravens rosters are all relatively similar in terms of talent, with Pittsburgh being one step back. Not a major drop off, but a step back. I don't agree with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And if you don't have a quarterback in this division, to me that is enough of, even if the rest of the 52 guys on the team are similar in talent, I do believe in Deshaun Watson, I do not believe in Kenny Pickett, to me that's enough of a differentiator to say they're not on the same steps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll stop at the bottom real quick. We'll have this conversation out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At the quarterback position, not Watson vs. Borough, you're looking at the whole room, but it's really Watson vs. Borough. Who are you taking between those two? I'm gonna take a tally and we'll go through this position.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I don't know what we talking about. And special teams. Uh oh, that's Cincinnati, yea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So that means there's 9% and coaching. Who are you giving the coaching edge to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now granted, the varying degrees of the difference in each one is not being counted, just based on where you get the edge. The Browns had six, Cincinnati had four. Right.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got one more question for you guys on this and then we'll get to PCC to move on. But let's do best case, worst case scenario for the four teams in this division. We'll start with the Bengals. Assuming quarterbacks are healthy. They're not going to be any good without a healthy quarterback.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's go at least just record wise. Assuming Joe Burrow is healthy, we'll start with the bangles and do all four.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What is the best case scenario for the bangles record wise and what's the worst case scenario?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I should think, in my opinion, the Steelers have the biggest variance because the rest of their roster, as you mentioned, take out the quarterback, is very good. If Kenny Pickett comes out and surprises me in a way I don't see it coming.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth, seven percent. Right? Okay. In third place, third, with nine percent. Of course. What do you think finished first? Second. First place without a doubt.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's his career winning percentage as a starter? 80 career starts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Otto Graham holds the highest career win percentage in NFL history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We gotta move on to our next topic here, and I've been saving this for a day, Tyvus is here because it involves Tyvus's guy Denzel Ward throughout training camp, going back to Greenbriar all the way up till yesterday. The beat reporters for the Cleveland media.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There's more than one, but one name in particular that has stood out to me has been the constant praise of one Denzel Ward, who had a down year last year, signed a massive contract offseason prior,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But seems to be back to the elite form that the Browns had then signed to a full year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite the fact that Denzel Ward may not have lived up to the expectations in 2022, do you fully expect him to get back the form he had in 2021 where he was considered a top 2 or 3 cornerback in football that landed him a top contract ever?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think, uh, Trevon Diggs is one of the more overrated cornerbacks in football.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What was that? And real quick, it was like the whole Asante, Samuel, Darrell, Rivas, Beef on Twitter a couple of weeks ago.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Moving on to the last of our non-32 and 32 browns topics of the day. Kevin Safanski said something that caught my eye. And maybe I'm looking way too far into it. I don't want to spend too much time on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well that's why what he said was a little interesting to me. Kevin Stefanski will defend his players to the public, to the...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we do know that Stefanski watches UCSS every day, and at some point...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Next up in our list of 32 and 32, before we play a little game today, Bullish, I hope you enjoy. It's a guy we spent a lot of time talking about yesterday. It's a guy that Tyvis thinks is completely irreplaceable in the scheme of the Brown season this year. And that is Elijah Moore. So Tyvis.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And talk about the midfield logo of the Cleveland Browns for the upcoming football season here, guys. The Browns have announced the two finalists.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think there's three teams in the league that don't have cheerleaders. The Giants don't have cheerleaders, and I think there's one more. That's crazy. I'll confirm, hold on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The last one I said was the Steelers and the Packers don't have their own cheerleading squad, but they bring in collegiate squads. That's embarrassing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it is time for a game. It's time for a game. We haven't done this before. We're gonna try it. It may work, it may not, but that's the beauty of this show is we try stuff and I think this is, uh, this is gonna be fun. I have 12 of these by the way. And if we run out of time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If we have enough time at the end, I've recruited my guy Jack. Jack's gonna throw some words at the very end if we have time. So, I have 12 of these. Four for each of you. First thing we think of.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys ready? Yep. Yes. Ranch dressing. Disgusting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, I'm gonna turn the camera over. This is Jack. And Jack's got a couple for us here. Jack, hit the button, talking to the camera, at the mic, and you can fire a few at him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, three more. Yeah. Pittsburgh Steelers. The worst.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And last but not least, before we wrap up, the Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To that point, Michael Dunn, who we know, is on his way out. I think we, I've mentioned this on the show before, I work with his wife at The Athletic. Oh wow. His wife is our podcast producer for the podcast, Zach and I do. And there's a crazy story, I'm not going to waste time on it now, go Google it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Bo Wolf, our great writer at The Athletic, mentioned it. He did a story on Marissa and Michael. Marissa's battled breast cancer in her life. And it's, it's just a remarkable story of the two of them. And then Marissa had to text us yesterday and tell us, you know, he was, he was gone. And so yeah, it's personal too. On his birthday. On his birthday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fourth, fourth. Fourth round. See, you gotta do it. No, no, because if you look at the history of drafting kickers, by the way, I'm not killing them for it either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That may be well and good, but you still, if you have a position of need, go fill it with the guy that you think is best for the job. And they try that. Just teams don't have a good, here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Number of kickers who have made at least one Pro Bowl since 2005. 10 drafted, 20 undrafted. Now the only thing- No, I'm more interested in guys that are holding jobs currently. Uh, aggregate, yeaah, okay. Aggregate field goal percentage made since 2005, 82% drafted, 84. I don't know just over the last few years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you look at the last eight kickers that were grabbed that I think it was.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only two of them are any good. Evan McPherson from the Bengals and the guy from Buffalo. I can't think of his name.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The rest of them have been disasters. I mean, I don't know what happened to Cade York, but he can make pressure kicks. At 18 and 19 years old, he was making pressure kicks. Who cares? Who cares? It's a controlled environment, Jason.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] LSU? No, he's not a dome. They don't play in a dome. Okay, well they play in warm weather. But he made a kick. They do. It's not windy and crazy. But he made a kick, that kick in Florida. I'm just saying, he's made pressure kicks before. Yea, that kick in Florida was huge. I think he got his pressure, I think he got his confidence shook for the first time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wait a second. You spoke to him personally? Yes. Okay, here's what happened. So I, this is the ultimate example of players hearing what they want to hear. I've said this a million times. You could say a hundred good things about a player and one bad thing, right? And they only hear the bad thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In the playoffs. Never. I know. He's kidding me. Wasn't he perfect last year? 8 for 8 with the Niners. He's 58 for 58 between field goals and extra points in his playoff career. 58 for 58. Never missed one. And those are the biggest kicks you'll make. So I went on and I said pay him whatever he wants. Bring him in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The only thing I said was I had read that he hadn't been in camp because he wanted more money than the typical kicker, but I said I understand that, he's better than the typical. And the only, and he responded on Twitter by saying fake


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, if, if Kate York played any other position, they would keep them around and leave them on the bench.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, but, but you saw something in that guy if it's only a year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think they did show that by cutting Cade York that, hey, we're not going to stick with the guy just because we drafted him last year. I know it's a different position. We'll get to the Austin Watkins thing later, but, I mean,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a couple of these by the way. I think Cade York 100% is gonna clear waivers, but I don't know if he's gonna go to the Browns practice squad. Jay, what's the benefit in doing that? For him? For the Browns? For them?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why would you think someone's going to claim him? Who will, who could trust him right now? I think he could get claimed because he's got a massive leg and every team in the league thinks we can fix him. Whatever is wrong with him, we can fix him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Some of the high drafted kickers in recent years. You got a Rodrigo Blankenship with the Colts was a disaster. He hasn't turned it around. The kid, remember the Buccaneers drafted a guy in like the second round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But he was. And Daniel Carlson's a perfect example of a guy who was drafted high by the Vikings and had one terrible game, had one terrible game in Minnesota, gets cut and goes to the Raiders and he's doing just fine. He's having a great.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now the reason why maybe he clears waivers is because maybe if this was week one or week two in teams, kind of what we're talking about, had one bad game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe teams aren't really actively shopping for kickers right now, but he's got such a massive leg. There'll be kickers hurt. I think that teams will look at him and say,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The leg is too good, we can fix the other stuff. Let's take a chance on it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But that's not a fair comparison. Why not? Because the game has changed so much, even for kickers. Kicking the ball hasn't really dramatically changed. Now the extra point is... It is, but the guys are so much bigger and stronger and it...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Jay, the percentages now of field goals made is much higher than it was when Phil Gossiper.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I did a story with Phil a couple years ago on kicking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, because I said, what's wrong with kicking today? Why is kicking not as good? And he's like, you're wrong. It's better than it's ever been. Our expectations are higher and out of whack for what they should be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's exactly it. He said go back and look at my rookie year. He said, look at the kickers from, you know, Morton Anderson, Gary Anderson, the legends of the game couldn't make it today because they were, I don't, 65, 70% maybe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But so the bar is higher, but his point is also expectations are completely out of whack and you just expect everything to go in every time and that's not the way it works. It's one of the most difficult places to kick. And especially when you're a young guy, we didn't, we weren't talking about this is before the Browns even drafted Cade. So Cade had nothing to do with the conversation, but his point was like young guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Need time to sort of figure it out. And the Browns unfortunately just don't have that time right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Half a step further. I might have been Kade I was talking to last year about this. It was some bronze kicker in the recent past.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can change from the time that you look at the flags on the sideline to the point you get on the field to make the kick that fast, the wind can change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I gotta, I gotta ridiculously go with the Hall of Fame because there's a .0000001% chance he gets in the Hall of Fame. And there's no chance he never, unless he dies tomorrow, which I shouldn't even say that. We do not wish upon him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, it's not. Sean Alexander or Terrell Davis or? I think Sean Alexander. Or the fast dude Chris Johnson maybe from the Titans, right? Well who holds the record, Mike?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now listen, the guy's been a little inconsistent in his career, right? He has. One to ten though, where are you? I'd say, uh, seven and a half. I'm an eight. I'm a five until I see otherwise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's got no leash whatsoever. Like, he just got here, so you better make your kicks young man. Or you'll be out again. And it's on to the next.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know, that's, I'll poke around on that and see what I can find.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, I'm fine with Hopkins, but I really would have preferred Gould. Gould's kicked in Chicago, which has got to be one of the tougher places to kick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I think, I hear what you're saying, I think he was probably, he caught the 10 million thing and caught his eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cade York couldn't be the kicker. You could not do that. Hopkins, I guess I feel more confident in Hopkins right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, I'm still baffled by Robbie Gould Johnny. If he clears waivers, he'll be back in Brea. Cade York. He'll be in Brea. Are you sure he's gonna wanna be back?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To that point, I hadn't heard that, but to that point, preferring Daniel Carlson in Minnesota, I was told the same thing. That's what messed up Daniel Carlson in Minnesota.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, if they felt that that was the problem, I'm sure they would have, but I think they've had enough.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whether it's Zastido, whether it was Feely, people who know this better than all of us together say, at least here, I don't know what was going on with Bohork as early as his career, here in Cleveland, that's not the issue.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You still have punts, punt returns. Right, but I think it'll change, maybe I'm wrong, but I think if you did away with kickoffs, I think it would change how you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hopkins has lost his job twice. Once in Washington, once with the Chargers. So he's not sure thing either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yup, I don't like that. By the way, Von Miller out for the first four games for Buffalo. Pretty big deal for them. That's a really big deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can't judge, to me, like, first of all, nobody's game planning in the preseason. If a quarterback plays a quarter and a half, he doesn't have time for the offense to adjust, to make, you know, correct, correct mistakes. But if that's the case,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you guys surprised they cut Watkins? The writing was on the wall, I said this yesterday. The writing was on the wall with Watkins when he spent, he had no snaps with the first team in the last game. That told you all you needed to know about him versus Bell. And we, what we see


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In, in preseason, Watkins was clearly more impressive than Bell. We don't see the whole picture. We don't see the locker room. We don't see the, the film room. Bell may be useless. In the end though, I can't get that worked up about it. It's, we're talking about the sixth wide receiver here. When Marquise Goodwin was coming back, that was the end of the line I thought for Watkins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am too. I mean, we had sat here and said his career is over. We thought so. I've never heard of blood clots and coming back this quickly. No. Verishal, he was out half of his season or more. Bosch had ended his career. Like, to be back this quickly? Are all blood clots? I'm not a doctor. Same, you know, I don't know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, couldn't they have cut, they, they could have done that with Grant, with uhm, what's his name again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joaquin Grant, right? Yea. And they didn't do that, they put him on IR. Couldn't they have just caught him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I mean, if, if, if Goodwin actually comes back and is on the field, he's a huge boost to this office, but I just, I just can't believe that we're having this conversation. I never dreamed when I heard Blood Clots, I never thought we'd be having this conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But if Cedric Tillman seems pretty useful, it seems like there's five useful receivers on this team, which is good. So even if, even if Watkins had made the team, he was probably going to be inactive if everybody was healthy anyway. David Bell's going to be inactive every week. If the rest of the guys are healthy now, they won't stay healthy probably for the whole year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh yeaah. I don't think so. I mean, look how late of an ad he was. This is his third team. Aren't the Browns his third? Yeaah. And he was added like just before they left for Greenbriar. Right. So like. I don't think somebody's gonna claim him on waivers. I think he comes back on the practice spot. I think that's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We'll see, we'll see if he gets claimed, we'll find out this, or we'll find out tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah. So it's a numbers game and we'll have to keep them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What, we don't know really what the status is of Walker and, and Taki Taki, they haven't played. Stefanski said they, he thinks they'll be ready by week one. But uhm, we don't know that for sure, so I, he,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think that's a position, unlike a lot of other positions, you know, the Browns are, as G says, they're in a position where they finally have a bunch of position groups where there's good depth. Linebacker is a position where... That's my biggest concern. It is my biggest question, Mark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're nice, but I got plenty of good wide receivers. I got plenty of good safeties. I can live without those guys. And linebacker, I don't know what I have. So I might, I might look at some potential upside with him and I think he's gonna make the team.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't even keep him there. You wouldn't keep him? Nah. He's shown zero. I'm with Bull. I think he probably will go to the practice squad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We mentioned this briefly, but you guys were not here. Uh, I am a little concerned, I am, not a little, I'm very concerned about the Browns running back depth. I am too. Because I don't trust anybody back here. I don't either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, Pierre Strong, like, I'm looking, you know, like, I don't know about him, Ford's banged up, Felton's showing us nothing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm shocked that he's- You know, I meant- Bold statement, it's September and he's- By the way, I mentioned it yesterday, I'll mention it again for you guys if forever wasn't listening. Uh, the Ravens just cut Kent- Oh, not the Ravens. Was he still in the Ravens? The Colts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think Pittsburgh's in the same boat. Damn, Jaylen Warren is a backup. He's young, but he's, he's, he has a promise. I don't think, I think Najee Harris is way overrated. What's the title to?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think offensive line depth as well. Like there are some hard decisions to make across the offensive line.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Draymond Jones and Whippler are definitely here. They are keeping nine? I think, well I think. By moving on from Michael Dunn, I think you're keeping nine. So the backups are Whippler, Draymond Jones, you're gonna keep Hudson. Hudson is the backup, isn't he? To everybody.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, Nick Harris, which I'm not convinced he's a guard. I think he's too small. I know he's played there at Spots. I don't, they have two guards on this roster as far as I'm concerned. Wow. So who's the, who's going to be the fourth backup offensive lineman? Besides Hudson, Whitler, and Jones. Oh, you think Harris is going to make it? I think he makes it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By, uh, by keeping, I mean, you could keep Pickman and Bell, I guess, theoretically, by keeping two quarterbacks and nine law offensive linemen. Maybe they're keeping all the players.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could probably keep three. Three. Maybe you keep all five. Harrison Bryant.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I thought early on that they could trade him toward the end of camp, but I think that was inaccurate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, wow. Saints are cutting. Starting slot corner Bradley Roby. Former first round pick from Ohio State. Yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wow. Not that the Browns are going to do anything there, but that's pretty shocking. He'll get picked up for sure. I think the most interesting name of the ones that were cut is Demetrius Felton.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So think about running back right now. Felton gone. John Kelly's not going to be on this team. Nope. You know, he'll be in practice squad again. So I guess it's going to be strong and forward, but is Ford ready to go?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Until I see it, I'm not convinced Detackle is solved. Until I see it. That's fair.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is she confirming? She's not saying the whole 53 though, is she?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, and there's already been surprise guys cut, like, like I said, Bradley Roby with the Saints, I can't, I can't remember how to pronounce his name, but the Broncos cut a tight end Albert O, they call him Albert O, I don't know how the, he's got like his 15 letter last name, who was like a pretty, like, I thought he was their, I think he was their starter or their second tight end last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was, you know, and so like he's a guy, maybe the Browns go after him, right? Because the Browns don't like Harrison Bryant anymore, whatever. So yes, if you're the last guy that makes it in a position group, you're not locked in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, I think they really want him back on, on the practice squad, but I don't think it's going to happen. I think he's going to have to clear waivers. Well, no, he doesn't go to waivers because he had one year in, I think it was Jacksonville's practice squad that counts. So he had three years here and he had like six weeks on Jacksonville's practice squad. Oh, okay. So I misread that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He doesn't go to waivers. Oh yeaah, he's gone. He's gonna go elsewhere. I think he's gone. If they have truly released him, I think they, I thought they would probably look to try and trade him. If they've truly released him already, then he'll be picked up by someone else. Well they probably did try to trade him and it wasn't, and who's gonna bike if they're... Why do you think they cut him?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, no, that, that matters. That absolutely matters. And if, if Nick Harris can play guard, okay, fine. He's, he's not big guys at all. No. So I, I know he's played a little bit there in the past. I'll be surprised if he could really, if there's an injury to one of their guards. Yeah. Remember Wyatt Teller has a history of injuries. He's missed games every year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That could possibly be of interest to the Browns, although they have to go now to seven wide receivers, assuming they keep Bell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But, well the reason I bring that up is because he was one of the best punt returners in the league for them last year.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't know. But this guy was, he's a good punt returner. Again, I don't know if the, and he can play special teams so I, you know, in general. Yeaah, I'd have to look at that. I think Reza right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, the most over-hyped player that's never done anything in NFL history, Andy Isabella, once again, cut by the Bills. People have been talking about this guy for years. Oh, I like it! And he goes from team to team and gets cut.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. He's not good. You don't like him though, G, right? You think he stinks?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And speaking of which, Gene Smith is gonna be on the show tomorrow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yep, and Jay Stevens, who's the locked on, uh, Buckeyes reporters joining us Friday. So obviously we haven't spent any time talking about the Buckeyes. No. And the expectations don't seem as high as they've been in the last few years. You know, it's funny that there


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do believe that you have to play football to get ready to play football. But a guy like him who's had this long injury history right there, I don't know what benefit comes from playing him. So they've always, with this regime, they've always taken the approach of we're going to keep our guys in bubble wrap during the preseason. And it hasn't worked.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I mean, right here's a perfect example. Like, Nick Harris walks out as the starting center, one play, he gets hurt, misses all of last year. Dunzo Ward walks out, one play, concussion. And, I mean, four concussions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Four concussions is, like, we haven't really talked about this, guys, but four concussions, what's the difference in this into a tongue of iola? Not much. Like, I'm thinking about this kid's long-term life after football. And so will he. This is problematic, and to do it in a preseason game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because you can't judge how good they are based on how they play in the preseason. That doesn't mean there isn't value to the team for guys playing to get ready. I'm saying you can't look at their statistics or a play one particular player makes and make that meaningful.

[Assistant] You never know what's inside someone's mind, how they feel about that. In the short term, he'd probably be back in time for week one, I would think.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So I think it's, you just don't know, it's a case by case basis, which again, to go back to the original question or the original point of why I don't think he should have been out there, I do think Deshaun should have played and the offense should have played because of all the time that he missed and everything else. I said that before. I was fine with Deshaun playing in the preseason.

[Assistant] We'll see you when it matters. If you get hurt when it matters, then you have to live with it. But to get hurt in a game that doesn't matter, for a guy like that with as long of an injury history as he has, I just think that that's foolish. I think Jim Schwartz is worth trusting if for whatever reason he felt he felt Denzel Ward needed to play, maybe Denzel Ward felt he needed to play.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't think you could baby players. I think we've done that too much in baseball, we do it too much in football, and there's still a ton of injuries.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well yeaah, but if that communication happens with Grant Dumpit out there and Denzel Ward out there, that's a little bit different than the dudes who were out there. So hopefully we're past that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I think there was a question even the day of whether or not he was going to play Mahomes this year in this game. Cause I remember to ask him. But he didn't play last year. I, I could have swore he didn't. Yea, I just went and looked at the box score from last year's final pre-season game.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They played, no, they played Chicago, Washington, and then Green Bay the last game, and he did not play in that game. It was the same Steve Bushell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they drafted, uh. Justin Ross. Yeah. Right. But their top, their starting receivers are MVS, who's still there. Sky Moore. And Sky Moore, who was there last year. Yeah. You know. Anyway.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, I would like to say top 5, but I could probably come up with 5 more important, but given the problems this team had at Defensive Tackle last year, 100%, he's the top 10 most important player. He was a huge pickup, much needed addition. Like I said earlier, I'm still not convinced.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Defensive tackle is fixed. I need to see it first, but hopefully, obviously, he's one of the big pieces to fix it. What's your concern there? Cause you said that earlier in the show. Just depth and, uh, just over, I don't have concerns about Dalvin Tomlinson. Right. But who else out there? Are we 100% sure? No, nobody. So, like, there's one, okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But there's a lot more to go. And so I just, I just need to see it before I can say, okay, that's solved. They fixed that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think we've gone a little overboard on how good we think they're going to be, especially early, because it's a new defense with...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Completely new defensive line outside of Miles Garrett, but there's no doubt, like the downside for the Browns defensive line is probably mediocrity and not absolute trash like it was last year. So,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I think it's, I think we shouldn't be surprised if the defensive line has some growing pains early in the season. Because there's so many new guys there. Even though I know you've talked about with Jim Schwartz, it's like, alright, just go get the quarterback or whatever, just attack.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've been talking about him reaching another level for a number of years. If it doesn't happen this year, it's not only, I mean, it's hard, it's so silly to say, cause a minute ago I just said he's on the Hall of Fame track, which he is. But there's a special level that's only for special players and he's one of those guys and he's been a 9.8 or a 9.9.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But to get to the 10.0, there's one more step. That's only for a few guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amazing, but they're still that little with a few, only a few guys in that top spot. Part of the reason Jim Schwartz is here and not Brian Flores is because they felt like Schwartz was a better fit for miles. Schwartz system.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is what could unlock miles and that, that higher level. So in terms of like a bigger year, well that's why Schwartz is here and not Flores. That's why he got the job. Oh, that's interesting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Quarterback running back wide receiver tight end prep. Yeaah. And a couple of my leagues we don't even draft defense anymore. No kidding. Yeaah, we got rid of it. So I spend, I don't do, I, my drafts are this Saturday and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday next week, including our draft which is next Wednesday. Right. Uh, but, so I, I don't do defense til the last minute. I don't, I, it's an afterthought for me. Yeaah, I just was, I was surprised.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's true, but uh, you know, the average, are the people in your league all Cleveland people?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because if you draft, like, you know, most, some of my leagues, I'm drafted with a lot of people from New York, you know, or people from all over the country, and if you're not following the Browns closely, you may not realize that they're


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] By the way, our guy Dave Richard has the Browns 11th in Fetch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it two quarterbacks he's had? It is. So he's your third, I assume? It's my third. Yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Slightly offended. But yea, we're doing super flex. I'm glad. We did. I like it. And I gotta defend my championship. My draft prep will be, hey Nando, our draft is Wednesday. Our top fantasy guy at the athletic.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't say that. I just said it. I said I think this is a topic for the show. I get hundreds of emails of nonsense. And this was one of them. I just screen grabbed it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kevin Savansky on a list you don't want to be on. Second behind only Tampa-based Todd Bowles.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Everybody said it was going to be different this time with McDaniels. It hasn't looked any different. Now, it's only been one year, to be fair, but yeaah. But yeaah, I mean, Stephanie is on that list. The Browse have expectations.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They've disappointed two years in a row, and maybe it was unfair to have expectations last year once we knew Watson was gonna get suspended, but nonetheless they were there. The Browns have not, you know, been a disappointment since his first year here, and they gotta win. There's no excuse for the Browns not to win, so yeaah.
