Can the Browns turn it around against the Bills?
The NFL Trade Deadline results sure didn’t match the hype, but that doesn’t mean the Browns haven’t busy.

Will we be happy on Monday morning after the Browns play the Broncos?

We’ll also talk some Browns and their tall-challenge against the undefeated Patriots. A fun show as always, check it out!
Who do you blame for the poor Browns’ performance against the 49ers? Antonio Callaway? Freddie Kitchens? Baker’s lack of facial hair? Let’s put that behind us and move on to a home game against the Seattle Seahawks!
Have you changed your mind on Freddie Kitchens after the Browns win against Baltimore? We discuss the Browns performance against the Ravens and their upcoming challenge against Jimmy G and the 49ers. We’re also talking about the end to the Indians season and whether Thursday, Sunday, or Monday Night Football is the preeminent platform for national football.
It’s the Main Event for the AFC North. Browns vs. Ravens. Baker vs. Lamar. Quarterback vs. Running Back. Who will be the dominant force in the AFC North? We’re talking Freddie Kitchens, Todd Monken, the Baltimore vs. Cleveland rivalry, and whether or not we still believe the Indians will make the playoffs.
The Browns rolled over the Jets, now it’s time to prove that this team is a force from the AFC North. Myles Garrett was a force on Monday Night, will Denzel Ward step up against Jared Goff? Is Lamar Jackson the best QB in the North? Are the Steelers dead? Are the Indians dead? Is it better to be dead (tanking) than average? We discuss all this and more on the latest episode of theI Still Believe in Cleveland Podcast!
Who’s got the best wide receiver trio in the NFL? New England with Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon, and Julian Edelman, or the Browns with Odell Beckham Jr, Jarvis Landry, and Rashard “Hollywood” Higgins? We also talk about that game against the Titans, what to expect against the Jets, and what the Indians need to do this week to make the playoffs. Football is officially back, will the misery return as well?
Will the Indians struggles be overshadowed by the Browns quest to win a season opener? Will Baker Mayfield hammer a stake into Marcus Mariota’s career?

We’re also talking Tribe and the Jose Ramirez injury, PLUS a fan question!!!
Oh you didn’t know? Cleveland ain’t no wasteland, especially compared to New York! We’re talking Baker Mayfield, OBJ, Browns preseason, and Indians postseason hopes on this week’s I Still Believe in Cleveland Podcast!
We’re getting ready for the Browns second preseason game against the Colts, Antonio Callaway, Andrew Luck, and how to top the preseason opener. We’re also tracking the Indians playoff race with the Twins, and if Corey Kluber or Carlos Carrasco will have a great end of season comeback. There’s no lack of puns as we try to find the Cleveland sports replacement for Taco Tuesday!
We are back for Season 4!! What all did we miss? How about some Trevor Bauer, Yasiel Puig, Franmil Reyes, Browns Training Camp, and the Cavs missing out on the NBA 2k20 trailer. We also debate whether or not Baker Mayfield is better at chugging beers or throwing touchdown passes in comparison to Tom Brady. It’s good to be back to talking Cleveland sports!
