The Prophet Playoff Theory returns with one of our biggest episodes yet as we rank every NFL starting quarterback from 32 all the way to No. 1. Which QBs are overrated, underrated, and who just missed the elite tier? We break down the Browns' quarterback disaster and what the future holds in Cleveland (3:40). Then we dive into the development of the league's young signal callers, discussing what Year 2 could look like for Cam Ward, Tyler Shough, and Jaxson Dart, and whether they have what it takes to become franchise quarterbacks (23:02)Rashad explains why he's getting dangerously close to giving up on Jordan Love (39:00), while we debate just how high Caleb Williams' ceiling really is (44:10). We also ask if we're placing Justin Herbert a little too high in our rankings, or if he's finally ready to make the leap into the NFL's elite (49:40). Finally, we reveal a major shake-up at the top of our quarterback rankings as the Big Four become the Big Five, with another quarterback earning a spot in our top tier—a player we believe is building a résumé worthy of a first-ballot Hall of Fame career (54:33). Who landed where? Who will spark the biggest debate?

Today's show is the first episode of our new season about Swiss-Type CNC machining. Our guest is Marc Klecka, founder and president of Concentric Corporation, a prominent distributor of Citizen-Cincom CNC Swiss lathes in Cleveland, Ohio. Scroll down to read more and listen to the podcast, or listen with Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts or your favorite app. Main Points Marc talks about his company, Concentric, which has been distributing Citizen Swiss machines for 31 years and Miyano for 10 years (after Citizen acquired the company). (2:20) Marc gives his “5-year-old explanation” of Swiss CNC Machining (sliding headstock machining). He says the original technology of “Swiss style machining” was developed in Switzerland over a hundred years ago for producing high precision watch components. He says what differentiates CNC Swiss machining from conventional CNC turning is that a CNC Swiss machine grips the part with a collet and also supports the part with a guide bushing. This eliminates the vibration that normally occurs when machining bar on a a conventional CNC lathe. (3:00) Marc says a traditional Swiss part has a length to diameter ratio of 3 to 1 or more because that is the point where you start sacrificing the rigidity and accuracy on a conventional CNC lathe. He tells a story about a Citizen customer who produced a 10-foot part out of aluminum tubing. (4:40) Marc talks about the importance of running ground bar stock on Swiss machines, particularly for running lights-out. However, he says that says in the 31-year history of Concentric, he estimates that only 30% of the material run (in Swiss mode) on the machines he has sold has been ground bar stock. He says it is a misconception that Swiss Style CNC machines are only good for running ground stock. (7:25) Marc says that during 2020 Concentric's business did ok, but the pandemic made it more difficult to sell machines because it was harder to have in person contact with customers. (11:00) Marc says that there are lots of good brands of machine tools on the market, but he sees the support and service of local distributors as something that sets Citizen apart. He says that many years ago Marubeni Citizen made a point of having all of its local distributors become self-sufficient for servicing customers. He says that all the Citizen sales engineers also are applications engineers. He says it is important to have sales people who can get in the trenches with customers to solve their problems. (12:00) Marc talks about Citizen's proprietary LFV (low frequency vibration) technology, which is featured in many of the latest models. It enables operators to control the geometry of the chip coming off the machine using the machine's CNC control. He says this capability is significant for manufacturers who want to do lightly attended or unattended machining. (17:20) Marc talks about the significance of the medical sector for Citizen machines. He explains thread whirling for making long bone screws. He discusses a bone screw that was made on a Citizen featuring a laser that performed a cut on that part while still inside the machine (see video). (21:45) Marc talks about diverse markets where he sees Citizens being used. He says during COVID-19 woodworking has become more popular and Citizen machines are making tools used for the art. Also, he says tattoos have become more popular during the pandemic and Citizen machines are making parts that go into the tattoo gun pens. He says demand continues to grow for parts for the electric car markets. (26:00) Noah asks Marc tell him something he learned the week before. Marc jokes hat he learned it probably was not a great thing to break into the Capital building. He also said that he learned about the new LNS chip conveyors that are being put on some of the newest Citizen machines equipped with LFV technology. (31:00) Question: Which Swiss machine do you prefer to use and why? The post Best of Swarfcast: Talking Citizen CNC Swiss Lathes with Marc Klecka – EP 109 appeared first on Today's Machining World.

LetsTalkAboutItChris Johnson revealed that he has ALS. The former Titans star publicly announced the diagnosis June 29 and said doctors believe he has sporadic ALS. Tennessee has since supported Johnson's effort to revive the Ice Bucket Challenge and will honor him in its Ring of Honor. This is bigger than football and has to lead the show.Ahman Green revealed an early-onset Parkinson's diagnosis. The Packers' all-time leading rusher said he was diagnosed in January 2025 after initially noticing symptoms during sleep. Green said he remains optimistic and is managing the condition through medication, exercise and diet.Deebo Samuel is returning to the 49ers. San Francisco reunited with its former playmaker on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million as the organization deals with uncertainty throughout its receiver room.Tampa Bay's contract situation is becoming a full organizational problem. Baker Mayfield says he feels undervalued after extension talks stalled, while Vita Vea has requested a trade and is drawing substantial interest. Two of the team's most important leaders entering camp are publicly unhappy.The Eagles reset the defensive tackle market for Jalen Carter. Philadelphia reportedly gave Carter a four-year, $152 million extension, making him the highest-paid defensive tackle in the league.Aaron Donald comeback speculation is real enough to discuss. Donald has resumed on-field work, Sean McVay has not exactly shut down the conversation and Myles Garrett has openly entertained what the pairing could accomplish for the Rams.Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers remain headed toward an ugly ending. Aiyuk has publicly aired grievances, repeatedly connected himself to Washington and reportedly allowed communication with the Commanders to fall “off the track.”Aaron Rodgers says 2026 is his final season. Rodgers returned to play for Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh but says there is “zero debate” about another season in 2027.CollegeFootballNewsThe 2027 quarterback evaluation cycle is underway. Oregon's Dante Moore is already receiving comparisons to C.J. Stroud, while Darian Mensah has reportedly generated legitimate franchise-quarterback evaluations from scouts.Brendan Sorsby has made the supplemental draft relevant again. Dallas reportedly viewed the former Texas Tech quarterback as a developmental option, and his availability has created a real discussion about whether teams should spend future draft capital this summer.The next running-back class is beginning to form. Early rankings and breakout lists are already moving the conversation away from the completed 2026 draft and toward which college runners can emerge during the upcoming season.Rookie evaluations are finally moving from draft grades to football. Fernando Mendoza has signed his deal with the Raiders, Ty Simpson is under contract with the Rams and players such as Caleb Downs and Jeremiyah Love are entering camp with immediate expectations.TakeOrTangentThe football cost may be showing up years after retirement. Johnson and Green played the same position during an era that celebrated running backs absorbing extreme physical punishment. Their diagnoses can lead into a deep discussion about neurological health, player care and what the league owes retired players—or simply a moment appreciating both careers.Can Deebo Samuel actually recreate the old magic in San Francisco? The surface conversation is whether he helps the receiving corps. The deeper tangent is whether returning to a familiar coach and system can reverse years of physical decline and organizational tension.Would Aaron Donald's return make the Rams unfair or merely famous? Donald, Garrett and the Rams' upgraded secondary look terrifying on paper. The tangent is whether a retired interior lineman can return directly to championship-level football conditioning.Why are teams extending defensive stars earlier than quarterbacks? Philadelphia moved decisively with Carter, while Tampa allowed both the Mayfield and Vea situations to become public. Is defensive value becoming easier for teams to price, or are quarterbacks simply asking for numbers teams no longer want to guarantee?Is Pittsburgh protecting Aaron Rodgers or changing its identity? Mike McCarthy eliminated live tackling from training-camp drills in his first year replacing Mike Tomlin. That can be a simple injury-prevention story or a larger conversation about whether the Steelers are no longer interested in performing toughness for tradition's sake.TouchdownOrTurnoverDeebo back to San Francisco on a one-year deal.The Eagles paying Jalen Carter before his leverage grows further.The Rams encouraging an Aaron Donald comeback.Rodgers announcing his retirement plans before the season.The Saints giving Chris Olave four years and $132 million.Cleveland making Denzel Ward the NFL's highest-paid defensive back again.The Browns extending Grant Delpit for three years and $48 million.Tampa refusing to meet Baker Mayfield's current valuation.Indianapolis refusing to trade Anthony Richardson cheaply despite his reported request to leave.The Rams drafting Ty Simpson rather than spending that first-rounder on immediate help.The NFL reducing the gap between the combine and free agency to one day beginning in 2027.FairOrFadeBrandon Aiyuk versus the 49ers: Aiyuk has taken his complaints to social media, pitched himself to Washington and continued escalating the split publicly. Is he fairly exposing how San Francisco handled him, or trying too hard to manufacture his preferred exit?Baker Mayfield versus the Buccaneers: Mayfield says the organization's offers made him feel disrespected and undervalued. Is that fair after what he has done for Tampa, or should the team be cautious about committing approximately $50 million annually?Vita Vea versus the Buccaneers: Vea requested a trade after unsuccessful contract efforts, and Mayfield publicly supported him. Is this a player correctly using his remaining leverage, or a veteran trying to force Tampa into paying for past production?Josh Allen versus critics of Buffalo's Nickel City uniforms: Allen told people to stop hating on the new alternates. Fair defense of a fresh look, or fade because the uniforms really are that bad?Ja'Marr Chase versus his own teammates: Chase ripped off and threw a teammate's helmet during a camp confrontation, then framed the incident as the competitiveness he wants from the defensive backs. Fair football intensity, or an unnecessary escalation from a team leader?Trey McBride versus Cardinals fans: McBride walked back his previous claim that there are “no Arizona fans in Arizona.” Was the original comment an honest observation, or disrespect toward a fan base already tired of being mocked?

Akron Rubber Ducks play by play man Jim Clark joined Jeff Phelps and Tom Withers on Baskin and Phelps to talk about what he's seen so far this season from the Guardians' prospects, which players to keep an eye on to get called up, and whether or not he thinks the Guardians should deal any of their prospects at the trade deadline.

Anthony Lima and Nick Pedone evaluate the Browns' decision to extend Denzel Ward during a complex rebuilding phase. They explore the quarterback battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders while reviewing LeBron James' recent decision regarding a Cleveland return. 02:13 - Denzel Ward Extension Debate 06:22 - Browns Rebuilding Timeline Surprise 11:20 - Watson vs Sanders QB Battle 17:10 - LeBron's Cleveland Decision Fallout 24:00 - Monken's Coaching Style Tone 33:55 - Falcons News Dylan Gabriel 38:55 - Training Camp Fight Expectations

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.

Anthony Lima and Nick Pedone break down the start of Cleveland Browns training camp and the high-stakes quarterback battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. They also weigh the possibility of a Baker Mayfield reunion in Cleveland and recap the Guardians' recent split with the Reds. 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

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 continue their reaction to Zac Jackson's take, debating whether the Browns' Denzel Ward extension undercuts a tanking strategy, with Lima arguing there's no real organizational upside to starting Deshaun Watson over Shedeur Sanders in 2026 beyond helping Todd Monken's own track record as a first-year head coach. They revisit Watson's disastrous 2024 season as the clearest evidence he's not the answer, and preview how Monken's hands-on, demanding coaching style will contrast sharply with Kevin Stefanski's approach once camp opens. A caller, Marcus from Aurora, credits Andrew Berry for last year's under-the-radar tank job and asks how fans would react if the Browns start hot with Watson at quarterback, prompting Lima to argue Cleveland's win streak last year was fueled by Myles Garrett and Rocket Sanders rather than good quarterback play.

Nick and Jonathan react to Todd Monken's comments about using preseason games to evaluate the quarterback competition. Then, they're joined by Ashley Bastock of Cleveland.com, and they discuss Kevin Stefanski's QB situation in Atlanta.

Nick and Jonathan are joined by Browns legend Joe Thomas, and they talk about Cleveland's win total for the 2026 season.

Ashley Bastock of Cleveland.com joins Afternoon Drive on The Fan. She talks about Jadeveon Clowney's visit with the Browns, what she saw from the quarterbacks in the first practice of training camp, Grant Delpit and Denzel Ward's extension, and more.
