Ken Carman and Anthony Lima play sound of Todd Monken praising all four Browns quarterbacks, including Deshaun Watson, but Ken pushes back hard, arguing nobody in Cleveland actually believes Watson can rediscover his old form after six years of decline. Ken admits his own bias openly: he'll extend Shedeur Sanders more patience while comparing Watson not just to Sanders but to the MVP-caliber quarterback the Browns traded three first-round picks for. Callers Jeffrey and Dan add fuel to the fire, with Dan predicting Watson starts the first two games only to be benched after an embarrassing 0-2 start, and Ken and Anthony debating just how well Watson would need to play this year for anyone to want him back in 2027. They land on the idea that Monken, unlike a rookie coach who might just hand the job to Sanders, is trying to win now and genuinely believes he can get more out of Watson.

Bucs-Jets Joint Practice Turns ChaoticRick Stroud recaps a joint practice between the Buccaneers and Jets that devolved into roughly six bench-clearing fights. The flashpoint: linebacker Luke Goedeke, who had been jawing with Jets rookie first-rounder David Bailey, appeared to take a cheap shot from another player and responded by ripping a helmet off an opponent's head and hurling it 15-20 yards downfield — an act Stroud says would draw an ejection and 15-yard penalty in a real game. Stroud expresses frustration that officials on hand didn't remove him, and that head coach Todd Bowles said he didn't personally witness the incident. Stroud draws a contrast to the Tony Dungy era, recalling how Dungy once sent Hardy Nickerson off the practice field for fighting. Despite the chaos, both hosts agree the underlying competitiveness was a positive sign, and note that team leaders eventually stepped in to calm things down. They expect calmer emotions at the next joint session, with coaches likely warning players against retaliatory penalties.Offensive Line Concerns Without WirfsWith All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs still out, Stroud says the drop-off is stark. He references last season's five-game stretch without Wirfs as evidence of how much the offense suffers. Elsewhere, the offense looked mixed — Bucky Irving ran well, Baker Mayfield mixed strong and shaky throws — while the defense dominated, generating multiple takeaways including a pick-six from Anzalone. Rookie Josiah Trotter continues to impress Stroud, who calls him a future star and pairs him with Rueben Bain Jr., as a young defensive foundation. Geno Smith struggled throughout for the Jets.Backup QB Injury ConcernsJake Browning, penciled in to start the preseason opener with Mayfield sitting out, tweaked his back late in practice and may not play, thrusting Connor Bazelak and Jalen Daniels into bigger preseason roles. Stroud is intrigued by Daniels' "quick-twitch" playmaking ability.Rays Riding Hot StreakShifting to baseball, the hosts marvel at the Rays' dominant road trip (up 12-2 in a game against Oakland as they record), including a Taylor Walls two-homer game and Junior Caminero's continued MVP-caliber season (tied for MLB home run lead). They discuss Caminero's uncertain contract timeline given the pending stadium situation, ownership change, and new CBA negotiations (including a possible five-year max-contract rule), and praise trade-deadline pickups Victor Mesa Jr. and improved outfield defense. Both hosts declare themselves believers in a Rays World Series run given their commanding AL lead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

92.9 The Game Atlanta Braves Insider and From The Diamond Host Grant McAuley talks about concerns about the Braves rotation in the postseason despite recent productive outing, the continuing plans for AJ Smith-Shawver and Reynaldo Lopez, flipping who hits leadoff based on the opposing pitching staff, Ha-Seong Kim still being in the possible plans, getting Sean Murphy back to catching more would allow Baldwin to DH, Chris Sale's balk and next-day ejection, and if Matt Olson is entering the MVP discussion.

The Chicago Cubs are rolling; they made the moves they needed to make at the trade deadline, and led by MVP favorite Pete Crow-Armstrong, they will catch the Milwaukee Brewers and win the NL Central Division.

In this thrilling season finale of House of the Dragon, Sarah and Will dissect the intense events of Season 3, Episode 8, titled "The Treasons of Tumbleton." They explore the dramatic transformation of Rhaenyra as she grapples with the weight of her lineage and the brutal choices she must make to claim her throne.

Korner Booth is BACK for Season 16! Jared Klim and Matt Ordazzo kick off the new season with a full breakdown of the AFC East and NFC East ahead of the NFL season, plus a look at what to expect from the ACC as college football gears up. We start in the AFC East, where the Buffalo Bills enter a new era under first-year head coach Joe Brady looking to reclaim the division after being dethroned by the Patriots last season. New England returns as reigning conference champions behind MVP runner-up Drake Maye and blockbuster addition A.J. Brown, while the Jets continue their rebuild under Aaron Glenn and the Dolphins navigate a fresh start under Jeff Hafley. The boys break down whether anyone can dethrone Buffalo and how the Jets, Dolphins, and Patriots shake out behind them. From there we shift to the NFC East, where the Eagles look to become the first team in over two decades to three-peat as division champs, but face real competition from a retooled Cowboys defense, a Commanders team hoping to stay healthy behind Jayden Daniels, and a Giants squad building a new culture under first-year head coach John Harbaugh. We break down the biggest storylines for all four teams heading into the year. Then it's on to college football with our ACC preview. Miami enters as the heavy favorite behind quarterback Darian Mensah after last season's run to the national championship game, but a deep second tier of contenders — including Louisville, Clemson, SMU, and Virginia Tech under new head coach James Franklin — could make things interesting. We also break down sleeper teams to watch and the biggest questions facing the league this season. Plus, it's officially the Season 16 premiere — we talk about what's new for Korner Booth this year as we kick off a full slate of weekly NFL and college football breakdowns.

A natural pitstop for the awesome win over the Toronto Blue Jays is necessary. PCA's shenanigans, Alex Bregman's heroics, and Dylan Cease's Cy Young case are all topics of discussion. Finally, the guys get to the series win over the Kansas City Royals. Although not a sweep, there was a lot to be encouraged by. New faces contributed, a huge win on Sunday put the exclamation point on the series win, and so much more.

The AFC South preview is here — and DJ and Kelcey couldn't agree less on how it ends. DJ has the Houston Texans finishing 13-4 and earning the AFC's number-one seed. Kelcey has them at 9-8, second in the division behind a Jacksonville Jaguars team he's calling the worst division winner in the conference at 10-7. They picked every single regular-season game to get there, and the receipts are in this episode. The full breakdown: Tennessee is not as bad as people think. Cam Ward has never regressed year-over-year, Brian Daboll unlocks the offense in year two, and Tony Pollard quietly sits on a list of backs with four straight 1,000-yard seasons that barely has five names on it. The Titans aren't a turnaround story — but they're a genuine improvement story. The Colts are the Colts. Eight-and-two to start last year, seven straight losses to finish. Now they've traded away Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce hasn't practiced coming off surgery, and Daniel Jones is back from an Achilles but may never be the same runner. Tyler Warren is going to carry an enormous passing game load. And Kelcey is swinging on CJ Allen to win Defensive Rookie of the Year at +1800 — because the Colts have been drafting linebacker maniacs since Darius Leonard and it keeps working. Houston has the best defense in football and just added David Montgomery to finally give CJ Stroud a real run game. DJ thinks that combination pushes them to the top of the AFC. Kelcey thinks CJ still sees ghosts after last year's offensive line disaster and the close games will cost them. Jacksonville ran it back. Trevor Lawrence, top-6 MVP candidate, 31 touchdowns, 9 rushing. Liam Cohen's offense clicks. Travis Hunter is moving mostly to defense. Bhayshul Tuten takes over from Etienne. The Jaguars look like the class of the division on paper — the only question is whether the first-place schedule makes things harder than last year's soft draw. Two predictions. Four teams. Eight futures bets. No agreement on the final standings.   Follow us: @HighLowSports on X and Instagram | Full episodes at bellyupsports.com/high-low-sports-podcast

No bigger way to kick off another thousand years than to revisit the man behind all the calendar hijinks himself - Jesus, airing on CBS in May of 2000! From its wild casting choices to its place in the grand run of biblical TV films of the era, Sarah & Joe dive into a freewheeling dissection of the Italian-American co-production. Were we cheated out of a much bigger career for titular portrayer Jeremy Sisto? How in the world did they get Gary Oldman to appear in this thing? Is Jacqueline Bisset too historically hot to play Mary, the mother of God? Is Debra Messing's makeup the true MVP of the film? There is a lot to get into, and a lot to avoid, in any religious conversation between the hosts, and they don't always succeed. You should expect no less from an It Happened One Year discussion!

Eric Hansen is the founder and CEO of Burst Billing, a medical billing company on a mission to help nursing homes reclaim the Medicare Part B supply reimbursements they're owed and almost never collect. He got his start in senior care as a CNA before moving into portable x-ray and lab sales, where he saw firsthand how the system's "medicine by prophecy" approach — over-supplying to be safe — quietly drained facilities' already-thin margins. He walked away from a six-figure salary to bet that nine out of ten nursing homes were giving their profits away, and that he could win it back for them. In just two years, Burst Billing has grown to 17 states and recovered more than $1 million in reimbursements for its clients. Self-taught in AI with over 2,000 hours behind him, Eric has built a fleet of agents that keep his company lean — and he's refreshingly candid that his ultimate goal is to make Burst unnecessary by helping the entire industry collect these dollars on its own.Show Notes:00:00 — Introduction02:01 — Meet Eric Hansen: the bet that 9 of 10 nursing homes are giving profits away03:44 — From CNA to founder: how Eric got into senior care and spotted "medicine by prophecy"06:31 — Going all in: disproving the model, the weekend that changed everything, proving yourself wrong10:13 — On the naysayers: "You'll stop caring what others think when you realize how little they do"12:31 — What is a Part B supply?

I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out. But I'm doing it alongside 1,500 contractors who are all in the middle of their own fight to build something real.If you're in that fight, you're in the right place.Never quit,MikeGet a FREE Painting Business Growth Session.

Welcome to Episode 181 of Tablesetters! The trade deadline is behind us, but the baseball conversation is only getting more interesting as August starts separating the contenders from the teams beginning to run out of time. We begin with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have suddenly lost eight of their last nine games and 15 of their last 24. Despite sitting at 70-48 and adding Tarik Skubal at the deadline, the Dodgers have shown some legitimate cracks. We break down an offense that has fallen to a 93 wRC+ since July 1, their struggles against fastballs, the recent production from Mookie Betts, Kyle Tucker and Teoscar Hernández, and whether Edwin Díaz's 10.80 ERA and 2.50 WHIP should create real concern about the bullpen. From there, we revisit the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline one week later. The Dodgers remain our biggest winner after landing Skubal, but San Diego, Chicago, Boston, Toronto and several others made moves that could reshape October. We also look at the teams that left us wanting more, including Atlanta, Cincinnati, Texas, Milwaukee and the Yankees. Then we get into what has become a legitimate NL MVP debate between Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani. PCA has 26 home runs, 30 stolen bases, a 155 wRC+ and 8.0 WAR while providing elite defense and baserunning. Ohtani continues producing elite offense and also gave the Dodgers 85.2 innings with a 1.79 ERA before his injury. Has PCA actually done enough to take the MVP away from Ohtani? Plus: George Lombard Jr. or Kaelen Culpepper: Which young shortstop ultimately has the better career? • Take a Pitch or Swing Away: Are the Red Sox the most dangerous team in the American League? • Are the Mariners and Pirates officially finished? • Who's Hot and Who's Cold around baseball • Postseason implications headline Coming Around 3rd We close by looking ahead to a weekend that could tell us plenty about the American League playoff picture, particularly for a Seattle team sitting seven games under .500 but somehow still within striking distance of the AL West.

IVIP, Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platform, was one of the hottest acronyms to emerge from the identity market in 2025. But almost a year on, has it delivered on its promise? And more importantly, could AI already be making it obsolete before it even matures? In this episode, Matthias and Martin Kuppinger pick up where they left off and ask the hard questions about IVIP's future. Key Topics: ✅ IVIP revisited: still a set of capabilities, not a platform — and vendors are mostly relabeling✅ Can AI make IVIP obsolete before it ever becomes a mature category?✅ How AI is finally tackling IGA's oldest unsolved problem: application integration at scale✅ Why IVIP falls short on action — spotting anomalies is not the same as acting on them✅ IVIP, ITDR, and IGA convergence: does the category distinction even matter anymore?✅ Strategic advice for IVIP vendors: observability, automation, and the path to relevance

First Take begins with Aaron Donald's potential return! The all time great defensive tackle may come back to a star studded Rams defensive line already equipped with Myles Garrett and Poona Ford. Would they be the clear cut favorites in the NFC? Then, Jeff Passan thinks the Dodgers recent slide means nothing, PCA could win MVP, and Aaron Judge may boost the Yankees offense back to its scoring ways. Next, Stephen A. has Michelle Smallmon's Packers starting out 6-0!! What??? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
