Producer John recaps the Guardians splitting a day-night doubleheader with the Reds, highlighting a controversial hit-by-pitch call turned grand slam for Kyle Manzardo and a wasted elite outing from Gavin Williams in the nightcap loss, while Lima and Nick Pedone debate whether the team's inconsistency bodes well heading into next week's trade deadline, including chatter about a possible Steven Kwan trade. They also cover new details on 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan's car accident, including reporting that he was at fault and is still dealing with concussion symptoms like difficulty concentrating and making decisions. Lima uses the Shanahan news to revisit an old debate about drafting him among any coach or player in football, and John closes with a tease about Mario Hezonja's Cavs deal possibly falling through due to interest from Real Madrid.

With Browns training camp underway, Lima and Nick Pedone dig into the quarterback competition after Joel Bitonio said it looks from the outside like Deshaun Watson has the early edge over Shedeur Sanders. They argue Watson's own comments about just wanting to make it through a full season, plus inconsistent spring practice throws mixed in with the highlight-reel plays, suggest he's still a shell of his pre-trade self. Lima lays out the stakes for both quarterbacks, saying a strong Shedeur camp performance could be the best-case scenario for the franchise's long-term roster building, while a Watson-led start risks reigniting national scrutiny and pushing the Browns back into a quarterback search come next year's draft.

Fresh off Friday's news that LeBron James chose Philadelphia over Cleveland, callers Rick and Dan debate whether LeBron would have ever considered Cleveland at all if the 2003 draft lottery hadn't landed him there, with both agreeing his character and legacy remain untouchable even as they say they'll boo him. Lima and Nick note LeBron, at 41, is still an elite player who averaged 27 and six last season, and lament what his star power and playoff storylines would have meant for the Cavs and for talk radio. The conversation shifts to Browns training camp optimism, spotlighting an afternoon-show segment where analyst Nick Wilson praised nearly every player on the roster, including a surprising shoutout to running back Rocket Sanders despite his modest 27 carries last season.

Finally, they discuss news regarding Kyle Shanahan's recent car accident and the latest on Mario Hezonja. 01:50 - Browns Quarterback Competition 05:11 - Shedeur Sanders Potential Impact 08:49 - Deshaun Watson Health Update 16:28 - Baker Mayfield Reunion Debate 24:45 - Organizational History With Mayfield 34:00 - Guardians Reds Doubleheader Split 37:20 - Kyle Shanahan Accident Details

Zac Jackson joins Lima and Nick Pedone to unpack his "same old Browns" take on the Denzel Ward extension, explaining he expected the team to keep tearing down toward next year's quarterback draft rather than commit long-term money to a 29-year-old cornerback. Jackson argues Ward leveraged the Myles Garrett situation perfectly to force a pay-or-trade decision, and while he still believes the defense can be good under new coordinator Mike Rutenberg and rookie Jared Verse, he's skeptical it can be a truly elite unit without Garrett. On the quarterback competition, Jackson says he's not optimistic about Deshaun Watson regaining anything close to his old form and predicts the real tell of who's winning will be whether one quarterback starts pulling ahead in first-team reps rather than any grainy practice video.

Anthony Lima and Nick Padone dig into Lima's stance that he'll boo LeBron James upon his return to Cleveland with the 76ers, arguing this free agency snub feels different than 2010 because Cavs fans felt genuinely led on. They point to Draymond Green's one-year deal with Golden State and reports that LeBron's camp was stringing along multiple teams, including Cleveland, while Philadelphia's owner personally recruited Joel Embiid to ease LeBron's health concerns. Padone shares his own conflicted history as a lifelong LeBron fan, recalling his dad refusing to take him to a Cavs-Heat game as a kid, but ultimately says he understands the frustration this time even if he won't boo himself.

Lima and Nick Pedone break down a widely-mocked exchange between Rich Paul and Shams Charania in which Charania appeared to reveal, and Paul appeared caught off guard by, a previously undisclosed in-person meeting between LeBron James and the full Cavaliers front office and Gilbert family in Akron in early July. The hosts mock the exchange as poorly acted and argue it makes the LeBron snub sting even more, since the Cavs reportedly had access no other suitor got, yet still lost him to Philadelphia. They pivot to roster construction, agreeing the Cavs likely need to trade Jarrett Allen to add a perimeter defender like Jonathan Kaminga and create spacing for Evan Mobley and their guards, while noting the front office remains thin on tradable assets and draft picks.

Cavs reporter Chris Fedor joins Lima and Nick Pedone to unpack new reporting that LeBron James's camp met with Cavs ownership and front office in Akron in early July, and explains why Shams Charania chose to keep that meeting private. Fedor argues the decision ultimately came down to basketball fit, since LeBron would have been a non-shooting third option playing heavy defensive minutes alongside Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, while Philadelphia offered a cleaner roster fit and a shot at becoming the first player to win championships with four different franchises. He also addresses the Cavs' quiet offseason, confirming the Mario Hezonja signing is still expected to go through despite Real Madrid interest, and says the front office's refusal to trade Evan Mobley has limited their ability to make a bigger splash, though moves involving Jonathan Kaminga or Peyton Watson remain possible.

In Wednesday's edition of Quick Hits, Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin analyze a bizarre report suggesting Mario Hezonja could sign with and be immediately released by the Cleveland Cavaliers to exploit a EuroLeague contract loophole.

Coach Rizzo and the team explore the brewing quarterback controversy in Cleveland, debating whether Deshaun Watson or Shedeur Sanders gives the franchise the best chance to win now. They evaluate Todd Monken's influence on the offense and reflect on Kevin Stefanski's track record with quarterbacks.

Lima and Lance discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers' offseason and the necessity of adding athletic wings to the roster. Lloyd provides a blunt assessment of the Browns' quarterback situation, stating he has no interest in seeing Deshaun Watson return to the field. They also analyze the growth of Evan Mobley and the team's decision to retain him over potential trades for stars like Jaylen Brown. 01:50 - Event And Sports Update 06:20 - Kuminga And Athletic Wings 14:33 - Jason Lloyd Interview Begins 21:34 - Dan Gilbert Organization Expectations 29:46 - Browns Quarterback Competition Issues 36:12 - Trading Mobley For Jaylen Brown 41:53 - Caller Discusses Donovan Mitchell

Anthony Lima and fill-in Lance Reisland open the show reacting to LeBron James signing with Philadelphia, with Lima vowing to boo him for chasing a ring at Cleveland's expense. The two also trade jabs about morning energy levels and Lima's ongoing frustration with his struggling lawn and a lack of rain. The bulk of the segment centers on a Dan Le Batard rant alleging LeBron may have picked Philadelphia partly over a lucrative Topps/Fanatics deal tied to owner Michael Rubin, with talk of potential cap circumvention. Lance pushes back that he's emotionally checked out this time around, citing LeBron's age and history of leaving, while Lima insists true Cleveland fans should still care.

Lima and Lance revisit Jason Lloyd's comments and admit they went back and forth on whether the Cavs should have traded Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, with Lima arguing Oklahoma City's pursuit of Mobley signals real belief in his trajectory rather than a finished product. They debate how much more growth is realistic for Mobley entering year six, agreeing he still lacks a reliable go-to bucket in late-game playoff situations and questioning whether fans are expecting him to be something he's not. A caller named Josh pushes back on LeBron nostalgia, praises Donovan Mitchell for publicly embracing Cleveland unlike LeBron's repeated exits, and pitches Herb Jones or Cam Johnson as realistic trade targets if Denver looks to shed salary. The segment closes by teasing a Jason Lloyd quarterback comment that left Lima visibly stunned.

Lima and Lance react to Shams' report linking the Cavs to DeMar DeRozan and Klay Thompson, but Lima argues neither move addresses the real problem exposed in the playoffs: a lack of athletic wings, using OG Anunoby's ability to smother ball-handlers as the example of what Cleveland is missing. They debate whether Jonathan Kuminga is worth chasing despite two teams giving up on him, with Lima insisting his freak athleticism and playoff scoring upside outweigh his shooting limitations. The conversation turns to team-building philosophy, questioning whether Jarrett Allen still fits alongside Evan Mobley and whether the Cavs deserve more credit for how far they got despite a late-season shakeup with James Harden.

Lima and Lance debate whether star athletes ever truly love the city they play in, with Lance arguing the loyalty is real "while they're there" but never runs deeper than that, and Lima recalling a Gary Baxter interview as proof of how hollow the "dog pound" talk really is. They dig into Philadelphia's notoriously brutal fanbase and question whether LeBron's arrival there, and Myles Garrett's in L.A., will get the same manufactured sentimentality Cleveland once got. The two also warn Philly fans not to expect the 26-year-old high-flying LeBron, pointing to his still-impressive dunk numbers but declining defense and scoring at 42.

Lima and Lance riff on Deshaun Watson's hype video before Reisland breaks down what he's actually seen from Watson in camp: clean movement, extending plays, and a noticeably different spin on the ball, though he cautions none of it matters until there's live contact. They debate whether Shedeur Sanders "earned" his starts last year given he only played due to a chain of injuries and trades up the depth chart, with Lance grading his rocky, gutsy, inconsistent 2024 tape. Reisland explains Todd Monken's new offense is player-driven rather than system-driven, favoring both quarterbacks' ability to extend plays and get the ball to Judkins and Fannin.

Anthony Lima and Lance Reisland dig into how Reisland will actually cover Browns training camp, with Reisland arguing that stat-line graphics and charted throws mean nothing without practice context, since scripted reps, defensive coverage, and drill type all skew the numbers. They warn against confirmation bias shaping the Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson quarterback battle before pivoting to a Ross Tucker soundbite calling the Browns' young core promising but still unproven at quarterback. Reisland pushes back on "future is bright" framing, insisting Todd Monken's only real focus is winning in Jacksonville, not age, draft capital, or 2027 quarterback prospects.

Anthony Lima and Lance Reisland explore whether fans should remain emotionally invested in star athletes who view sports strictly as a business.

Jason Lloyd of The Athletic joins Lima and Lance to explain why the Cavs have no realistic offseason moves left, calling Jonathan Kuminga their best remaining option while cautioning it's the end of July with nothing great on the market. He argues Evan Mobley now faces unfair pressure as the "you could've had Jalen Brown or LeBron instead" comparisons pile up, and that Jaylon Tyson needs a full training camp to find his fit alongside Harden, Mitchell, and Mobley. Lloyd shoots down the idea that keeping Darius Garland would've changed LeBron's decision, calling that framing unfair to the Cavs, and says he doesn't buy any cap-circumvention conspiracy around LeBron's Topps deal. He closes by ripping the Browns' quarterback situation as exhausting "nonsense," saying he has zero interest in watching Deshaun Watson play again and expects Cleveland to draft a quarterback in 2027.

John Fanta of NBC Sports joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. He talks about the state of the Cavs after LeBron James chose to go to Philadelphia, the most intriguing non-quarterback story for the Browns ahead of training camp, the leash he'd give Deshaun Watson if he wins the job, and more.

Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin examine the theory that "off the table" money from Michael Rubin influenced LeBron James to sign with Philadelphia.

The fallout and reaction to Cavs legend LeBron James choosing to signing with the Philadelphia 76ers continued for the hosts of 92.3 The Fan on Monday. The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima explores who is to blame for this disappointment. Baskin & Phelps wonder whether it was Philly all along for LeBron, and the guys from The Afternoon Drive ask whether Cavs fans are beginning to turn on LeBron after he snubbed them for a third time in his career.

UNC football continues to spiral as GM Michael Lombardi has been placed on paid leave, prompting Stugotz and Marc Hochman to look back at just how quickly Bill Belichick's tenure in Chapel Hill has unraveled. The guys discuss how everything has seemingly gone downhill since UNC's opening drive against TCU and whether the Tar Heels are headed for a complete reset. Plus, Hoch weighs in on LeBron James choosing the Philadelphia 76ers over the Miami Heat and Cleveland Cavaliers, what it means for the Eastern Conference, and why Philadelphia ultimately won the sweepstakes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lima and Daryl Ruiter admit the "whiteboard" LeBron speculation was largely theater, joking that Rich Paul essentially controlled NBA business for four weeks by keeping the league on hold. They argue LeBron was likely never coming back to Cleveland, framing his decision to sign with Philadelphia as him chasing the "hero" narrative since Miami, Golden State, and New York were all off the table for that storyline. Ruiter also defends Kenny Atkinson's Darius Garland-for-James Harden trade against criticism, insisting it made the roster better regardless of the LeBron outcome. They tease Lima's plan to boo LeBron on his Cleveland return and set up calls from fans still processing the news.

Lima runs through a rapid-fire myth-busting list aimed at LeBron and Cavs narratives circulating over the weekend, shooting down claims that the Darius Garland trade or the James Harden pairing pushed LeBron away, and arguing the numbers actually favor the Cavs' roster moves. He pushes back hard on the idea Philadelphia's starting five is unbeatable given Joel Embiid's health, and dismisses the notion the Cavs "stink" by citing national analysts who still view them as conference finals contenders. Daryl Ruiter remains skeptical throughout, particularly on Donovan Mitchell's status compared to Tyrese Maxey, while the two debate whether a LeBron championship in Philadelphia would actually boost his GOAT case.

Lima and Daryl Ruiter break down the Guardians' five-game losing streak, including a heartbreaking Parker Messick outing and a brutal series loss to Tampa Bay that dropped them two and a half games back in the AL East. They react with disbelief to news that second-round pick Logan Schmidt turned down signing with the organization, calling it a bizarre career decision given Cleveland's strong pitching development track record. On a lighter note, they celebrate Paul Hoynes being honored with the Baseball Writers' Career Excellence Award in Cooperstown, reminiscing about his old "hot call" bit in the press box.
