Podcast appearances and mentions of Kenny Atkinson

Danny Cunningham joined Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to break down the Cavaliers' season so far, whether or not they're a threat in the East, and he breaks down all the reasons why this season has not gone to plan for the Cavaliers. He also discussed whether or not Kenny Atkinson shoulders the blame for the Cavs' struggles, and how significant Darius Garland's injuries have been and how much it affects the team's roster.

Nick and Jake dive into Kenny Atkinson's postgame comments after the blowout loss at home against the OKC Thunder.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands, Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins unpack the Cleveland Cavaliers' jarring loss to the Utah Jazz and why it felt heavier than a single January defeat. The discussion zooms out from the result to examine a troubling pattern: sharp emotional swings, inconsistent effort and a team that struggles to match urgency from night to night. The hosts break down Cleveland's defensive lapses in transition, recurring rebounding issues and the mental slippage that continues to surface after signature wins, like Saturday's statement performance against Minnesota. They also evaluate the uneven play of key contributors, the growing burden placed on Donovan Mitchell, and the lingering questions surrounding Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen's two-way impact. From there, the conversation turns to head coach Kenny Atkinson's influence and whether the organization, top to bottom, is still learning how to function as a team with real championship expectations rather than an underdog edge. The big question driving it all: Is this inconsistency simply who the Cavs are right now, or are they being crushed by the pressure they spent years trying to earn? Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor respond to subscriber questions that cut straight to the core of the Cavaliers' uneven season — and the frustration building around it. A growing sense of disconnect hangs over the team, raising uncomfortable questions about what's really happening behind the scenes as losses pile up and consistency remains elusive. That uncertainty bleeds into a roster that still hasn't found reliable footing on the wing, where Cleveland's small forward rotation continues to feel unsettled and unresolved. As the trade deadline approaches, the conversation widens to what can realistically be fixed — and what can't — given the Cavs' limitations, recent decisions and long-term vision. That naturally leads to a larger debate about the franchise-defining move that brought Donovan Mitchell to Cleveland, and whether judging it through the lens of the present misses the bigger picture. This discussion covers expectations, accountability and the thin line between structural problems and perceived dysfunction — with the Cavs caught somewhere in between.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor break down the Cavaliers' "ugly" 113-108 victory over a severely undermanned Denver Nuggets team. They discuss how the Cavs failed to dominate the paint despite a significant size advantage, with Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley having quiet offensive nights. The conversation shifts to player rotations, highlighting Lonzo Ball's situational role and inconsistent impact, contrasted with the emergence of Craig Porter Jr., whose energy and effective pairing with Donovan Mitchell have been a bright spot. The guys credit the team's professionalism and chemistry for navigating role changes and adversity but emphasize that Kenny Atkinson must continue to make the right in-game decisions that reward the players who are impacting winning.

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk Podcast, Ethan Sands, Chris Fedor and Jimmy Watkins react to the Cavaliers' third straight loss to a sub-.500 team — their latest being a dispiriting showing against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. The conversation centers on a team that looks increasingly disconnected, with a defense that can't sustain effort, possessions that die on the vine and an identity that remains undefined months into the season. The guys examine why Cleveland continues to lose the plot against lesser opponents, including uneven play from key rotation pieces like De'Andre Hunter and a growing list of questions surrounding Kenny Atkinson's in-game decisions. They also dig into the larger implications: whether the belief that carried last season's group has cracked, how fragile the current culture feels, and why the margin for patience is shrinking. With the Cavaliers carrying one of the league's most expensive payrolls, Dan Gilbert's reported dissatisfaction looms in the background — even as the reality of the CBA makes meaningful roster fixes far more complicated than they sound Learn more about your ad choices.

The host expresses concern over the team's inconsistent habits, questionable coaching decisions by Kenny Atkinson, and over-reliance on Donovan Mitchell. The discussion highlights the team's struggles against weaker opponents, the impact of injuries to Evan Mobley and Darius Garland, and the failure to establish a consistent identity a third of the way into the season. Despite public statements from players and coaches downplaying any crisis, the episode argues that the team's performance, particularly going scoreless in overtime, is a significant cause for alarm. The conversation also touches on potential moves at the upcoming trade deadline. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor break down why the Cavs' final 10 games before the New Year represent Cleveland's first real adversity check. Coming off a five-day break filled with pointed film sessions, blunt messaging and a renewed emphasis on accountability, the Cavs now face a six-game run against sub-.500 opponents followed by four tougher matchups to close out December. The duo digs into what this stretch means for a group that has spent the season talking about mental toughness and maturity — and why those themes will finally be tested in real time. They discuss the latest on Darius Garland's toe, how Kenny Atkinson is challenging the roster, especially Evan Mobley, and what responding to early-season adversity would reveal about the team's mental growth.

In this episode of the Hoopsology Podcast, we sit down with Danny Cunningham, host of LockedOnCavs and contributor for 92.3 The Fan, to break down everything happening with the Cleveland Cavaliers this season. The Cavs sit at a crossroads: Donovan Mitchell is playing at an MVP-level, possibly the best basketball of his career. The shooting has crashed, despite generating high-quality looks. Max Strus, Darius Garland, and others have battled injuries, leaving the team incomplete. Young players like Jalen Tyson, Tyrese Proctor, and Nay'Quan Tomlin are emerging faster than expected. And of course… the fan base continues to debate LeBron James' legacy and the possibility—however unlikely—of another return to Cleveland. Danny shares insider insight on:

The Kenny & JT Show is underway on a sloppy looking Wednesday. With the MLB Winter Meetings continuing, we wonder if the Guardians make any free agent moves. We discuss the pros and cons of Guardians players participating in the World Baseball Classic.

Step inside one of the wildest careers in modern British cooking as we sit down with Tommy Banks, once the youngest British Michelin starred chef, Great British Menu champion, author, farmer, preservation obsessive, cricket prodigy in a past life, and the man behind both The Black Swan at Oldstead and Roots in York. From hand milking cows on a tiny family farm to being crowned TripAdvisor's number one restaurant in the world, Tommy charts the long, strange path that took him from near-empty dining rooms to global recognition. Along the way we hear about the early days of The Black Swan, complete with RAF chefs who bullied teenage Tommy at the sink, and his twenty-something imposter syndrome phase where he cheerfully admits to cooking straight out of Phil Howard's cookbook before finding his own style.The stories in this episode are the stuff of modern kitchen folklore. Tommy talks us through the heartbreaking illness at eighteen that ended his cricket dreams, the fierce work ethic that followed, and the moment Kenny Atkinson sat down for dinner and told him he had to get on Great British Menu. We hear about the ferocious creativity behind his fermentation rooms, the Douglas fir desserts, the legendary crab and beetroot dish, and the umeboshi-style strawberries now copied across the country. There is also the infamous pie-van heist that turned into a national news frenzy with Tommy fielding calls from Radio 1 through Radio 5 on the same day as he begged thieves to at least give the five thousand pies to charity. And of course the blackmail era of two-year waiting lists after The Black Swan went viral.Tommy also gives us a hilarious and honest tour of life running an expanding Yorkshire empire. From the diners flying in by helicopter to tell him his restaurant is not the best in the world, to the email from an industry “expert” advising him to shut down the General Tarleton immediately, to his strict refusal to cook vegan food because he cannot grow lemons on the farm, the stories land one after another. We dig into Yorkshire pub culture, his dream blowout dinners, his disdain for truffle, and the perfection of a proper Sunday roast at The Abbey Inn. This is Tommy Banks in full flow: sharp, grounded, funny, straight talking, wildly inventive, and endlessly proud of his little corner of Yorkshire.

Highlights: Thanks to you, our listeners! Without you we wouldn't be here. Shedeur Sanders' starting debut was "intriguing," marked by poise and a crucial avoidance of mistakes. Sanders' performance demonstrated clear evidence of his discipline to avoid negative plays. Myles Garrett: The best Browns defensive player Terry has ever seen? Coach Kevin Stefanski offered rare, high praise for a Sanders pass, signaling genuine excitement in his own Stefanski way. The disruptive play of interior defensive linemen Mason Graham and Maliek Collins is a key factor in the defense's overall dominance. The upcoming game against the 49ers will be a different kind of challenge for Sanders. A primary goal for the remainder of the season is to thoroughly evaluate the young quarterbacks to inform future roster decisions. Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson earned a positive grade for navigating numerous injuries and successfully developing young players. A debate is ongoing about whether Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley can evolve into the MVP-caliber offensive star the team envisions. Terry Pluto argues that Mobley's value lies in his elite defense and unselfish play, and he should not be forced into a primary scorer role. Josh Naylor's new contract with the Mariners includes a rare full no-trade clause, granting him significant leverage. A listener emails about the gambling investigation involving Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz. The Ohio State-Michigan game's importance for legacy persists, with Coach Ryan Day attempting a new, calmer approach to preparation. Terry Pluto recommends the book Ernie Pyle's War for its vivid and powerful portrayal of the experiences of soldiers in World War II. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the first hour of the show, Tobin & Leroy recap the Florida Panthers 6-3 win over the Washington Capitals at home Thursday night. Great night for the Cats as many players hit career milestone in the win, and it seems like their getting their mojo back. Tobin & Leroy talk about the Miami heat who are in New Yor to face the Knicks in NBA Cup action. The Knicks star player Jalen Brunson will miss tonight game with a grade 1 ankle sprain. Tobin hopes the Heat doesn't have the same mindset like they di vs the Cavs on Wednesday. Speaking of he Cavs Tobin takes umbrage with Cavs head coach Kenny Atkinson after the Cavs lost to the Toronto Raptors. (the game they sat out Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley out of the Miami game)

After watching the Cleveland Cavaliers lose to the Toronto Raptors last night Tobin goes in on Cleveland Cavaliers head coach Kenny Atkinson for sitting his two best players vs the Heat on Wednesday in a game the Heat Lost tother Cavs and then losing to the Toronto Raptors with Evan Mobley playing a bad game. He questions how you sit a 24 year old star and thinks he may have the battle (Cavs beating the Heat) but he won the war?

It's Football Friday and Tobin & Leroy gets you ready for a fun-filled sports weekend. They recap what happened Thursday night in sports. The panthers had a record breaking win over the Capitals at home. 3 players from Florida reach individual milestones and Evan Rodrigues and Seth Jones scored their 100th goals in their career and Brad Marchand got his 1,000th point in his career. They talk NFL football as the Dolphins are finishing up preparation for Sundays game vs Washington Commanders in Spain. Watching the Patriots beat the Jets in the Thursday night game 27-14 it is safe to say that the Bills and Patriots are the 2 best teams in the AFC East. While the Jets, are in last place they have many draft assets and money to change things around. Where does that leave the Dolphins after? They fired GM Chris Grier but what are they gonna do with the head coach and QB position? Is there a chance both Mike McDaniel and Tua Tagovailoa are back with the Fins next season?

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor dive into how the Cavaliers depleted roster pulled off an unlikely win in Miami. With five key players sidelined, Cleveland leaned on its depth as Jarrett Allen anchored the defense and Craig Porter Jr. delivered a historic night.

Highlights: Browns fan sentiment has shifted from despair to anger, with calls for firings and major changes. Terry Pluto argues the 1980s Browns era was defined by consistent success, not just heartbreaking losses like "The Drive." The franchise's identity since 1999 has been a perpetual and unsuccessful search for a quarterback. Why a new stadium will not improve the Browns' on-field performance due to the NFL's salary cap structure. A listener's analogy, endorsed by Pluto, compares a bad offensive line to a bad baseball bullpen that collapses the entire team. The hosts highlight the rare importance of a great offensive line coach, questioning if former coach Bill Callahan would return to the current instability. The loss to the Jets: the "beginning of the end" for head coach Kevin Stefanski? Why the defeat was statistically unprecedented: Since 1950, teams holding opponents under 175 yards with zero turnovers were 225-0 before the Browns' loss. The Browns' special teams have become a glaring liability, allowing an NFL-worst six return touchdowns under coach Bubba Ventrone. A failed fourth-down play against the Jets epitomized the team's dysfunction in both play-calling and execution. Analysis revealed that quarterback play and other factors, not just the O-line, were responsible for nearly half of the sacks allowed. Kevin Stefanski's offense, which once excelled with backup quarterbacks, has severely regressed this season. Terry Pluto fondly remembered the late Lenny Wilkens as a Hall of Fame coach, a great teacher of basketball, and a man of dignity. A new injury to Darius Garland puts pressure on Donovan Mitchell and the current Cavaliers to find alternative offensive schemes. Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz have been federally charged in a game-fixing scheme involving manipulating on-field events. The indictment identifies Clase as the instigator who recruited Ortiz for a surprisingly small financial payout. The scandal may cost Clase his $6 million salary for 2025 and two team options worth an additional $20 million. A key unanswered question is whether Clase attempted to recruit other players who may have reported the scheme. A listener has a scenario about a stolen base and the new challenge system in MLB for balls and strikes. What Terry and David think it could mean. Learn more about your ad choices.

The discussion also covers questionable officiating that led to Kenny Atkinson's ejection, the team's offensive struggles to drive to the basket, and a critique of late-game coaching decisions, particularly the minimal fourth-quarter minutes for center Jarrett Allen and the inconsistent aggression of Evan Mobley.
