Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Thomas

Lima and Lance preview the Lake Erie Crushers ticket giveaway and debate whether Ken can actually throw a strike before diving into the LeBron and Myles Garrett fallout. Lima argues both stars are all-time Cleveland greats who left or forced their way out, and asks callers whether that soured their willingness to bond with future athletes the way Jose Ramirez's loyalty never will. Lance says aging and years of watching Guardians stars walk have made him a "team guy" over a "player guy," pointing to Joe Thomas as proof that even beloved legends would've been just as happy playing elsewhere

If you train high school athletes like Division I pros, you are destroying their potential. For 13 years at Wisconsin, Brian Bott built NFL offensive linemen and Rose Bowl champions using old-school grit—only to realize that the biggest mistake strength coaches make is confusing intensity with actual development. Bott reveals the hard-earned wisdom behind taking a 13-year-old from a broken squat pattern to a 500-pound lift, detailing why chasing glitzy speed drills over raw force production dooms young athletes to failure. He breaks down the exact conjugate framework he uses to build armor, protect fragile backs, and teach high schoolers how to handle brutal, back-to-back stress so they dominate when November comes. INSIDE THIS CONVERSATION Fixing Broken Movement: Why correcting bad motor patterns takes eight weeks—and why Bott would rather train a blank slate than a kid taught the wrong way. The 2010 Programming Shift: How Wisconsin linemen front squatted heavy during spring scrimmage weeks so they could survive the physical demands of late-season Big Ten football. Basketball vs. Football Wear and Tear: Why high school basketball players often sustain more back compression issues from repeated landings than football players do from squatting. Auto-Regulating Dynamic Effort: How to adjust speed work using bar velocity and readiness when athletes are drained from school, practice, and life stress. Minimal-Dose In-Season Training: The strategy that eliminates unnecessary accessory work to preserve shoulders while continuing to build real power. MEET THE GUEST Brian Bott spent 13 seasons as an Assistant Strength Coach for the University of Wisconsin Badgers, contributing to three Big Ten Championships, three Rose Bowl appearances, and developing elite NFL talent including Joe Thomas, J.J. Watt, and Russell Wilson. As the owner of Sports AdvantEdge—now expanded across seven locations—and Head Strength Coach for LOVB Madison, Bott has spent more than 25 years developing resilient, high-performance athletes through battle-tested conjugate methods and uncompromising technique.

Welcome back to the Royal Blue podcast!

Grab your wedges and get moving. Join Ian Croll and Joe Thomas for a completely unique episode of the Royal Blue Podcast. EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. This week, the lads have swapped the studio for the upper tiers of Everton's state-of-the-art Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Hitting tee shots from the stands down to the pitch below as part of the spectacular Upper Deck Golf event, Ian and Joe chat all things Toffees between swings. From pre-season preparations to massive transfer questions, this is your ultimate guide to the Blue summer.

Ken and Anthony continue debating whether Jared Verse is being set up for unfair comparisons to Myles Garrett, with Anthony maintaining it's a disservice to hype Verse this early since he's a fraction of the all-time talent Garrett was. Ken counters that fans care more about likability and winning than pure talent, pointing to how Cleveland embraced Jose Ramirez and Nick Chubb over Garrett despite Garrett being the better player at his position. Both agree the Browns' lack of a franchise quarterback will unfairly cast a shadow over Verse's early years in Cleveland, the same way it did for Joe Thomas and Josh Cribbs, and predict fans will already be frustrated with him by the first tough Monday morning of the season. The segment closes teasing Jason Lloyd's take on the debate coming up shortly.

Welcome back to the Royal Blue Everton FC YouTube Channel! EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee. In today's episode, your host Chris Beesley is joined by Joe Thomas to break down a massive week of news for the Toffees, both on the international stage and in the summer transfer market. On the Agenda:

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down body cam footage of NFL reporter Diana Russini getting pulled over in New Jersey, where she namedrops Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell to the trooper to get out of a distracted driving ticket. The tactic works, with the officer fanboying over the Vikings instead of writing her up. Ken and Anthony riff on whether other Browns figures like Joe Thomas or Todd Monken could pull off the same move, before circling back to discuss the ongoing Watson versus Sanders quarterback competition and the East 9th Street closure wreaking havoc on their commutes.

Ken Carman doubles down on calling the Browns' offseason a success despite predicting only six wins this season, arguing fans can acknowledge real progress on the offensive line and rookie wide receivers without expecting immediate results. Anthony Lima pushes back, questioning whether addressing the offensive line only after it completely fell apart last year actually deserves credit, while a caller named Jack from Lorain backs Ken's optimism and even corrects Anthony's "throwing darts" metaphor. The hosts agree the season is really about clarifying the Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders quarterback competition and determining whether Andrew Berry's young core can be trusted heading toward 2028, with Ken admitting this framing could get thrown back in his face if the Browns collapse. They close by teasing Joe Thomas joining the show at 8 and another athlete caught up in a gambling scandal.

Hall of Famer Joe Thomas joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to discuss the Browns' quarterback competition, explaining that Deshaun Watson's experience navigating new offenses and big games gives him an edge over Shedeur Sanders heading into camp, while cautioning that trading Sanders for anything less than a first round pick would be premature given how little the team actually knows about his ceiling. Thomas identifies the defense, not the offensive line, as Todd Monken's biggest challenge as a first year head coach, pointing to the loss of Myles Garrett and a new defensive coordinator as reasons the unit could take a step back even as the offensive line improves with veteran additions and position coach George Warhop. He also defends Warhop against analytics based criticism, details his Hall of Fame Farms Wagyu beef promotion ahead of July 4th, and shares the story of representing American agriculture at a White House roundtable. The segment wraps with a lighthearted bit about whether Browns swag could help the hosts talk their way out of a speeding ticket.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima react to Joe Thomas naming the defense, not the offense, as Todd Monken's biggest challenge this season, agreeing that losing the best pass rusher in football history makes Mason Graham and the rest of the defensive line much harder to evaluate going forward. They debate whether Jared Verse's leadership can offset losing Myles Garrett's pure sack production, while questioning how much the locker room actually misses Garrett emotionally given his more reserved personality. The conversation shifts to a viral graphic comparing Shedeur Sanders' rough rookie stats to Hall of Fame quarterbacks like Peyton Manning and Troy Aikman, with Ken arguing the comparison is silly but not worth getting mad about since fans made similar reaches for Baker Mayfield and Evan Mobley in the past. They close by previewing Justin Termini's 9 o'clock segment on the worsening sports gambling scandal landscape.

Joe Thomas breaks down the quarterback battle, comparing the experience of Deshaun Watson to the developmental potential of Shedeur Sanders. He identifies the defensive transition following the Myles Garrett trade as a primary hurdle for Todd Monken's leadership. The discussion explores offensive line adjustments under George Warhop and reacts to statistical comparisons of young quarterbacks. 02:41 - Joe Thomas Interview Begins 06:55 - Watson vs Sanders Experience 11:40 - George Warhop's Coaching Style 17:26 - Meeting With The President 22:12 - Analyzing Myles Garrett's Impact 27:39 - Shedeur Sanders Statistical Comparison 42:05 - Fan Debate On Stefanski

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima evaluate the Browns' quarterback battle between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders following insights from Joe Thomas. They also examine the Guardians' offensive struggles and the hypothetical scenario of LeBron James joining the Golden State Warriors. 02:10 - Browns QB Battle Begins 06:30 - Traffic Report 13:30 - Dianna Russini Body Cam 22:20 - Steven Kwan Slump Analysis 32:15 - Jaylen Brown Analytics Debate 42:40 - New Browns Stadium Concerns 47:10 - Offseason Winners List Discussion 01:01:20 - NBA Trade Speculation Update 01:13:45 - Guardians Rangers Game Recap 01:20:40 - NBA Gambling Scandal News 01:26:55 - Interview With Joe Thomas 01:32:45 - Defensive Coordinator Transition 01:39:00 - Hall Of Fame Farms 01:43:55 - Post Garrett Era Challenges 01:52:15 - Shedeur Sanders Statistical Comparisons 02:12:10 - Justin Termine On LeBron 02:23:45 - Evan Mobley Trade Value 02:40:20 - Potential LeBron Fan Alienation

Jonathan Peterlin and Spencer German examine the high price of babysitting and the difficulty of finding reliable childcare for their families. The conversation transitions to the Cleveland Browns' quarterback dynamics, debating if Deshaun Watson's veteran status gives him an advantage over Shedeur Sanders. They also discuss insights from Joe Thomas and the impact of Jerry Jeudy's recent comments. 01:12 - Childcare Costs and Frugal Parenting 05:51 - Watson vs Sanders QB Debate 13:57 - Joe Thomas and Jeudy Insights

Andy and Jeff react to comments Joe Thomas made on the morning show about the Browns' starting quarterback and whether or not it feels like the team is looking at 2027 to find their franchise QB.

The hosts of 92.3 The Fan pull no punches in reacting to Joe Thomas defending the Myles Garrett trade as part of a necessary "building phase" for the franchise. Tensions run high as the hosts also debate the national media's praise of Cleveland's off-season, questioning if the team can truly succeed with an uncertain quarterback room and heated disagreements over the true value of their offensive weapons like Harold Fannin Jr. and Quinshon Judkins.

Welcome back to the Royal Blue podcast! EXCLUSIVE NordVPN Deal ➼ https://nordvpn.com/efc Try it risk-free now with a 30-day money-back guarantee  In today's episode, Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton reporters Chris Beesley and Joe Thomas to dissect the major talking points surrounding the Blues as the Premier League fixtures drop and pre-season preparations loom. The main item on today's agenda is manager David Moyes' controversial interview on talkSPORT. Speaking on Jim White's show, Moyes caused an immediate stir among the fan base when asked about Everton's aims and ambitions for the upcoming campaign. Moyes remarked:“I don't know if a club like Everton now we can make big, huge strides but we see how well the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing, so there's no reason why we all shouldn't have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it. But I would have to say that at Everton we are trying to be back up at the top end of the teams that we can. For long periods of last season we were, we just didn't quite have enough in the last four or five weeks of the season.” Unsurprisingly, these comments have not gone down well with many Evertonians. The panel debates whether Moyes is merely injecting a dose of harsh realism regarding the club's current recruitment model, or if he is guilty of deliberately managing expectations downwards.  Furthermore, we address the frustration of fans who feel that comparing a historic giant like Everton to historically smaller clubs like Bournemouth and Brentford shows a glaring lack of elite ambition.

Everton have been ordered by a Premier League Independent Disciplinary Commission to pay nearly £40 million in compensation and interest to Burnley following a legal claim over Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) breaches. Host Ian Croll is joined by the Liverpool Echo's Everton FC correspondent Joe Thomas to break down a decision that the club has branded "fundamentally flawed in both law and fact." Burnley's case relies on the legal principle of 'loss of chance,' arguing that if Everton's point deduction had been applied during the 2021/22 season, the Blues would have been relegated and the Clarets would have stayed up.  The club has already launched an official appeal, warning that this sets a "dangerous and unworkable precedent for English football." Ian and Joe discuss what this massive ruling means for the club's finances, how The Friedkin Group (TFG) is responding, and why the club insists this won't trigger any future PSR sanctions.

Zegura also breaks down the Myles Garrett trade fallout, saying Jared Verse has been impossible to miss at minicamp with his quickness and speed off the edge, but makes clear this team's ceiling lives or dies with the offense finally producing. The guys close with a heartfelt tribute to Joel Bitonio, with Zegura revealing he was both the first and last reporter to ever interview him, calling him everything you want in a Cleveland Brown from the day he arrived flanked by Joe Thomas and Alex Mack.

Jonathan Peterlin and Daryl Ruiter analyze the trade of Myles Garrett to the Rams and what Jared Verse brings to the Browns' defense on Afternoon Drive. They compare Verse's natural leadership to Garrett's statistical dominance and discuss how the defense might regress without a generational talent. This segment also examines leadership roles in Cleveland sports history, mentioning Joe Thomas and Max Strus. 01:00 - Jared Verse's Leadership 04:17 - Winning The Garrett Trade 12:35 - Browns' Defensive Outlook

Ken makes the logical case that trading Myles Garrett was an admission this season is cooked, and if that is true then the hard no on Denzel Ward makes absolutely zero sense because a 29-year-old corner with an injury history is not getting more valuable as the year goes on. Ken genuinely respects everything Denzel has given the organization and points out he is the best corner the Browns have had since 1999, but frames it the same way he eventually came around on the Myles trade: if you can get a second rounder and give him a chance to actually play meaningful football somewhere, that is the right move for everybody. The Joe Thomas comparison hangs over the whole conversation, with Ken admitting the Browns have a habit of keeping great players for their entire careers and then having to ask uncomfortable questions about why they could never get more out of them. Ken closes by saying he actually hopes Andrew Berry is lying when he says hard no on Denzel, because getting another 2027 pick while rewarding a loyal and drama-free player with a shot at the playoffs would be the smart move on every level.

Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterlin explore the trade of Myles Garrett to the Los Angeles Rams and its long-term implications for the Cleveland Browns defense. Callers discuss Garrett's controversial history and career legacy while comparing the current situation to former Browns great Joe Thomas. 01:00 - Garrett's Career Goals 03:45 - Garrett's Controversial History 08:42 - Trading Jared Verse

From Merlin Röhl's opener to a second-half defensive horror show, the lads look at why things went so horribly wrong. The fans are furious, and the blame is being pointed everywhere. Was it a failure of application from the players, or did David Moyes get it tactically wrong yet again? Plus, we look at the huge contract dilemma facing the board.  With Moyes entering the final year of his deal, has this capitulation forced TFG's hand? Do they stick, twist, or let him enter next season on an expiring contract? Let us know your thoughts in the live chat or comments section!

Ken and Lima decide it is time to establish once and for all whose opinion actually counts when it comes to the Browns quarterback debate, putting together a blue ribbon panel that includes Bernie Kosar, Joe Thomas, John Greco, Mary Kay Cabot, Kirk Herbstreit, Albert Breer, Jarvis Landry, Brady Quinn, and several others while firmly keeping Johnny Manziel off the list despite a spirited debate. Bernie Kosar's take gets played on air, with the Cleveland legend sounding healthier than he has in years and offering measured support for Shadeur Sanders while noting that last year's offense gave any quarterback almost no chance to succeed. Ken and Lima also briefly tease the Knicks series ahead, with Ken making the point that Karl-Anthony Towns playing point center is going to run directly into Evan Mobley, and that Jalen Brunson is a matchup the Cavs can exploit.

Recorded live inside the Virginia General Assembly, Joe Thomas gets perspective on what happened and what needs to happen next for the state's redistricting battle.

Sen. Chris Murphy, the Democrat from Connecticut, is under fire for appearing to cheer on America’s enemy during the middle of a war. It was reported that 26 ships in Iran’s shadow fleet had been able to run the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz. In response to that news, the senator tweeted one word, “Awesome.” White House spokesperson Olivia Wales told Fox News the congressman’s social media message crossed the line. “It takes an insane level of Trump Derangement Syndrome to cheer for a terrorist regime that chants ‘Death to America,” Wales told the network. “Chris Murphy is an America-last, radical left lunatic who stands for illegal aliens and Iranian terrorists over the American people,” she added. “The only thing ‘awesome’ will be when he is out of office.” First of all, there is no evidence that Iran has a shadow fleet or that they were able to evade the U.S. Navy. And to suggest otherwise is outrageous. “This is what late-stage TDS looks like: Cheering on Iran to defeat the U.S. Navy,” read a statement from the Trump War Room on X. The congressman’s office defended the message and said it was nothing more than sarcasm. It appears that Sen. Murphy is either a moron or he’s a traitor to his country. It's time to start calling out these treasonous Democrats for who and what they really are. Treason is a crime in the United States of America. It’s defined in part as giving "comfort" to the enemy. And that's what Murphy's comments did. At the very least Sen. Murphy should be censured by the U.S. Senate. And he should also be brought up on charges. And, if found guilty, he should face whatever penalties are levied by court. It’s time to stop coddling anti-American politicians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We spent a year as the Commonwealth of Virginia birthing 94,000 babies and taking the lives of 38,000. That means we are aborting about a quarter of our next generation. We've gotten to the point where there's a volume of Virginians that have decided they don't care about the unborn. They're fine with late term abortions, argues Victoria Cobb, president of the Family Foundation of Virginia on today's Daily Signal podcast with host Joe Thomas.   Learn more about your ad choices.

It's a packed Easter weekend edition of Packernet After Dark, and Pack Nation showed up in full force. Pack Daddy smoked a ham, got bombarded with BBQ questions, and somehow turned it all into one of the most entertaining call-in nights of the season. The regulars are all here — Uncle Rico is fired up about Joe Thomas's bizarre take on "unleashing" Jordan Love, Randy from Minnesota is spreading holiday cheer, Batman is grilling Ryan on brisket technique and cold-weather cooking, and Ben from Minnesota needs urgent help converting his four-year-old daughter from a Vikings fan before it's too late.

Pack Nation, Andy from Kansas is back and he is absolutely locked in tonight. Ryan and Andy go deep on one of the most important — and most misunderstood — conversations in Packer fandom right now: what actually happened during that brutal five-game losing streak, and why the hot takes coming out of national media are missing the point entirely. Joe Thomas gets called out for his oversimplified "unleash Jordan Love" take — Ryan and Andy dismantle the argument with historical QB comparisons, from Elway under Shanahan to Brady's system mastery to Peyton Manning needing help before winning it all The losing streak gets the breakdown it deserves — Denver without Parsons, Thomas Booker's dirty hits on Jordan Love, Edrian Cooper's absence turning the Bears playoff game, and a decimated Malik Willis-led offense in the final week Player ego vs. coaching authority — why Andy's "stages of grief" framework perfectly captures where most Packer fans are stuck right now, and why the team is better than the ending suggests The dice roll reality of NFL football — Ryan's honest breakdown of why loading up the roster is the only strategy, and why he still believes this team can win a Super Bowl if healthy Subscribe, rate, and review — and call in at 608-501-0718 to get in the conversation!

Like the Wild West hero who rides back into town just as the community is in peril, former Gov. George Allen has rejoined a fight he helped win in 2020, establishing a nonpartisan way to draw Virginia's congressional districts. Now critics want to undo all that effort, and Allen sits down with Joe Thomas—whom he calls “Set 'Em Up Joe,” after the Vern Gosdin song—to take us inside the story.
