Baskin & Phelps

92.3 The Fan presents a selection of guest appearances and interviews from during the past week with The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima, Baskin & Phelps, and The Afternoon Drive. Featuring Nathan Zegura, Dan Shaughnessy, Nate Tice, Jamal Collier, Lance Reisland, and Tyler Drake.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan explore whether the Cleveland Cavaliers have finally evolved into legitimate Eastern Conference contenders, or if they still lack enough "signature" wins against elite opponents to prove their toughness. The guys break down whether the Cavs' recent 113-109 victory over the conference-leading Pistons serves as a definitive statement, potentially signaling that Cleveland is finally ready to challenge for the top of the East.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan react to the news that the Arizona Cardinals plan to trade or release longtime quarterback Kyler Murray when the league year officially starts next week. Should the Browns and new head coach Todd Monken be interested in Murray, and would you want him here? What would his addition mean for Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel? All that and more.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan react to Browns star defensive end Myles Garrett recently being cited for speeding for a whopping ninth time since 2017.
