Ken and Anthony revisit their QB tiers bit, placing Jackson Dart alongside Shedeur Sanders in the unproven rookie category while pushing back on accusations that Ken is trolling Shedeur's fanbase by grouping him with unestablished names. They play cuts of Brady Quinn on Afternoon Drive arguing Watson is a better scheme fit for Todd Monken's offense than he was for Kevin Stefanski's, and that financial investment and experience make Watson the likely Week 1 starter, though Quinn leaves the door open for Shedeur if things go sideways. The hosts riff on the history of teams trying to fit a system to a player versus a player to a system, citing Tom Landry's two-quarterback experiment and Pat Shurmur's West Coast scheme as cautionary tales, and conclude Monken bears real responsibility for putting either quarterback in position to succeed.

Ken and Anthony revisit the backlash to Ken's QB tiers, with Baker Mayfield fans upset he landed in the bubble tier and Shedeur Sanders fans still accusing the show of trolling him despite Ken defending his tier five placement as fair. The conversation shifts to ESPN mocking a video of Shedeur lifting 30-pound dumbbells during rehab, with Anthony genuinely defending him, arguing quarterbacks come in different builds and that Shedeur shouldn't be judged for a lighter workout meant to protect his throwing shoulder. A caller named Dan backs Anthony up, saying he doesn't care what Shedeur does off the field as long as he can play when it counts.

Anthony Lima and Ken Carman react to Adam Schefter mocking Shedeur Sanders for lifting thirty-pound weights during a workout. They also break down recent NFL quarterback tiers, placing Baker Mayfield on the "bubble," and discuss the absurdity of NCAA regulations regarding Cole Hutson's return to Texas. 01:08 - NFL Quarterback Tier Rankings 06:40 - Shedeur Sanders Workout Drama 18:13 - Ken's Childhood Memories 20:34 - Cole Hutson NCAA Case

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima analyze Shedeur Sanders' potential fit in Todd Monken's offense and whether he or Deshaun Watson is the better long-term choice. They debate the feasibility of LeBron James returning to the Cavaliers and potentially recruiting stars like Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving. The conversation also covers a wild travel story involving a rental car ride from Detroit and recent NCAA eligibility decisions. 02:14 - Steven Kwan and Shedeur Sanders 07:05 - Shedeur Sanders and Todd Monken 10:53 - Adapting Systems to Players 14:00 - NCAA Eligibility and Personal History 19:12 - Chasing LeBron and Star Teammates 25:49 - LeBron James Decision Speculation 34:55 - Hitching Rides with Strangers

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken Carman and Anthony Lima to discuss the intense quarterback competition between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders. They analyze the fan base's divide, Watson's off-season preparation, and the impact of offensive coordinator Todd Monken. The conversation concludes with a heated debate regarding the validity of charting pass statistics during training camp practices. 02:14 - QB Focus vs. Branding 08:44 - Monster Trucks Contest Update 13:11 - Mary Kay Cabot Interview 19:18 - Watson vs. Shedeur Debate 24:12 - Browns Young Defensive Talent 31:14 - Value of Training Camp Stats

Ken pushes back on the idea that he's biased toward Shedeur Sanders, drawing a distinction between wanting someone to succeed and accepting that only the better player should actually start at quarterback, and predicts the competition won't stay close — one guy will just look clearly worse. A caller named Moe argues age and timeline, not the Myles Garrett trade, explain why Deshaun Watson isn't the automatic starter, sparking pushback with the Drake Maye/Patriots comparison and a debate over whether it's fair to call Sanders a fifth-round pick while giving first-rounders more leeway. The conversation also touches on the Browns' rebuild broader outlook, with Ken listing what he actually wants to see this year (Spencer Fano, Carson Schwesinger, Mason Graham development) regardless of the QB battle's outcome.

On the eve of training camps, some players are starting to get big deals. Is Devon Witherspoon worth the biggest CB contract in the league? Shedeur or Deshaun? Kirk or Fernando?

A caller rips into Ken for supposedly being a secret Deshaun Watson guy, and Ken fires back with receipts on where he's really stood since the draft. He and Anthony get into whether Todd Monken will actually let the QB battle play out or default to the veteran no matter what, and Shedeur's toughness comes up as a point in his favor. Things veer off into a Carson Wentz "champions pose" flashback and a recap of John Fanta's broadcasting boot camp before they wrap.

Browns radio analyst Nathan Zegura joins the show and gives Deshaun Watson a slight edge over Shedeur Sanders heading into training camp, though he's careful to note both quarterbacks have shown real improvement and it will come down to live reps once pads go on. Zegura breaks down why Todd Monken brought in Watson specifically, praises the revamped wide receiver room, and names Denzel Boston as the most impressive playmaker of the offseason. Ken also opens the segment defending himself against critics who say he's not emotionally invested enough in the LeBron saga anymore, arguing there's only so long anyone can stay fired up without a resolution.

Albert Breer's comparison of Shedeur Sanders to a young Patrick Mahomes staying late for extra reps draws pushback, with the argument being that Mahomes was behind an established, respected veteran while Shedeur is fighting for his career in a much different situation. The conversation turns into a broader defense of Shedeur juggling NIL and brand opportunities alongside football, arguing today's era of college stardom means comparisons to past quarterbacks don't really hold up. A poll of kids at a local broadcasting camp gets brought up as evidence that fans overwhelmingly want to see Shedeur get the start, with a few boos reserved for Deshaun Watson.

Ken reads an email pushback questioning his claim that almost no Browns fans want Deshaun Watson to start, prompting him to hold firm at "98 percent" while acknowledging Watson still looks like the real-time leader for the job. He compares the intensity of Shedeur's fanbase to that of Caitlin Clark and Tony Romo, arguing that hyper-loyal, brand-driven fandoms are simply the new normal in sports and something Anthony needs to get used to. Ken also draws a personal line, sharing a story about his late mother's fierce devotion to athletes like Bernie Kosar, to illustrate how logic rarely factors into this kind of fan loyalty. The segment closes with a brief, unconfirmed mention of a reported ESPN staffing change involving Sean McDonough's broadcast crew before wrapping the show.

Ken and Anthony break down how differently the Browns will judge each quarterback, arguing Deshaun Watson likely needs a Super Bowl-caliber run to avoid being cut loose, while Shedeur only needs a solid, winning-record season to stay in the conversation. They compare the situation to LeBron and the "circus" concern some teams reportedly have about taking on a high-profile personality, wondering if that same hesitation applies to Shedeur's film crew and other NFL teams' interest in him. Ken argues the draft slot creates a real double standard, since a first-round investment in Watson buys more patience than a fifth-round flier ever will for Shedeur. The segment ends by teeing up a phone poll asking listeners whether it might actually be better for Shedeur's long-term career if he doesn't win the starting job right away.

Cam Justice from News 5 Cleveland joins the show to break down the Browns' quarterback competition, calling Deshaun Watson the "leader in the clubhouse" mainly due to veteran experience, but noting Shedeur Sanders offers a higher ceiling if he can clean up his decision-making. She points out that Watson has struggled to play like a seasoned veteran under pressure, and that a rebuilt offensive line will be a major factor in how both quarterbacks perform in camp. Cam also weighs in on Shedeur's emotional short film about last season, calling it a possible sign of real character growth, and flags a retooled pass rush without Myles Garrett as her biggest concern heading into the year. She closes by naming the Steelers and Buccaneers games as key measuring sticks for a Browns team not expected to make the playoffs.

Anthony warns that Shedeur Sanders fans can see through the constant needling on the show, prompting a debate about whether pointing out his packed schedule is fair game. The conversation breaks down Shedeur's jam-packed ESPYs itinerary, brand deals, and reported workout routine, weighing whether any of it is actually affecting his play. The hosts land on the idea that none of it matters until there's real evidence it's hurting his football, since plenty of other athletes juggle similar workloads without issue. It closes by acknowledging quarterback evaluations are notoriously unpredictable, pointing to Baker Mayfield's up-and-down career as proof nobody really knows how this plays out.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down the Cleveland Guardians' high-scoring victory and the statistical importance of run differential. They delve into the frustration surrounding the prolonged LeBron watch and analyze Rich Paul's podcast comments regarding the decision-making process. The conversation concludes with a heated debate about Shedeur Sanders' off-field brand management and his NFL future. 02:52 - Guardians' Seven Homer Victory 09:26 - LeBron Watch and Frustrations 13:16 - Rich Paul Interview Analysis 21:44 - Draymond Green on Schedule 25:43 - Comparing 2014 Return Hype 33:18 - Shedeur Sanders Business Debate 40:31 - Sensitive Fanbase Reactions

Ken learns that Shedeur Sanders' inner circle and some fans are upset over comments questioning whether his off-field ventures could be affecting his focus on football, and pushes back hard, insisting he never said anything unfair. He and Anthony dig into whether it's normal for a young quarterback to juggle modeling, music and reality TV while fighting for a starting job, and question the oddly specific claim that Shedeur works out four times a day. The conversation also touches on the short film where Shedeur says old friends stopped reaching out once things got hard in Cleveland, with Ken arguing that reaction is understandable rather than mean-spirited. It closes with Ken standing by his takes and refusing to back down from the backlash.

Browns reporter Daryl Ruiter joins Ken and Anthony Lima to break down the quarterback competition, saying Deshaun Watson remains the favorite to start Week 1 in Jacksonville since it's an easier transition from him to Shedeur Sanders than the reverse, though he stresses that Shedeur starting as QB2 wouldn't be a failure given the retooled line and new coaching staff around him. Ken pushes back a bit, arguing there's real pressure on Shedeur to play early since fans want to see what they have, while Ruiter counters that Deshaun's best days are likely behind him regardless of who starts. The conversation shifts to Shedeur's free youth football camp, which Ruiter says drew an outsized, electric reaction from about 500 kids, before the two dismiss Rex Ryan's recent shot at Shedeur's off-field ventures (music, photoshoots, a short film) as him complaining for the sake of complaining. Ruiter defends Shedeur's use of his offseason time as fair game as long as football stays the priority, noting Shedeur has put in real work with teammates this summer.

Ken and Anthony Lima dig into a short film Shedeur Sanders released on YouTube where he gets introspective about people who "show support" online but never actually reach out, which Lima reads as a shot at fair-weather fans who bailed after his rough rookie season and fifth-round draft slide. Lima argues Shedeur's personal-brand hustle—music, photoshoots, behind-the-scenes content—is smart business regardless of what critics like Rex Ryan say, while Ken repeatedly accuses him of being facetious rather than taking it seriously. The two go back and forth needling each other over whether Lima is being sincere or sarcastic about the "legendary" photoshoot content. They close out still unsure who, if anyone, Shedeur's disillusioned hangers-on jumped ship to support instead.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima get heated debating whether Shedeur Sanders' off-field marketing and photo shoots could become a distraction once training camp opens, with Ken accusing Anthony of twisting his words to bait Browns Twitter. The argument spills into a caller segment where a fan pushes back on the "quarterback controversy" framing, prompting Ken to point out Shedeur isn't going anywhere given his popularity with kids at a youth camp. Talk turns to trade value, with the guys agreeing neither Shedeur nor Deshaun Watson has real market value right now, while floating Dylan Gabriel as the more tradeable arm behind Michael Penix Jr. and a "supercomputer" QB room in Atlanta. The segment ends with Ken storming off mid-bit, only half-joking about needing to escape to "hell."

Ken and Lima dig into Rex Ryan's criticism of Shedeur Sanders' off-field content (photoshoots, music, a short film), framing it as a generational divide—guys in Ryan's era don't get why every young quarterback with a fan base now runs a personal brand. They point out Todd Monken, despite being around Ryan's age, seems far more attuned to modern NIL-era players, while contrasting Shedeur with Arch Manning, who's deliberately avoided this kind of exposure. The two debate whether Shedeur's business ventures are actually costing him on the field, invoking Baker Mayfield's similar media-obligations criticism early in his Browns tenure as a precedent that ultimately proved irrelevant to his play. They close split on whether Shedeur is genuinely distracted or just an easy target because of his historically rough rookie season and fifth-round slide.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima clash over whether Shedeur Sanders' marketing brand interferes with his football focus. They also discuss the future of Deshaun Watson with the Browns and speculate on the impact of a potential LeBron James return to the Cavaliers. 01:50 - Todd Monken On Distractions 05:24 - Deshaun Watson Starting Debate 12:10 - Shedeur Sanders Brand Discussion 18:58 - Fighting Active NBA Players 24:05 - Browns Season Win Expectations 31:38 - LeBron James Decision Rumors 37:00 - Dan Gilbert's Next Move

Ken and Anthony poke fun at the summer flood of Browns quarterback workout videos, joking that Shedeur Sanders is out-hustling Deshaun Watson with multiple daily sessions and even throws with his eyes closed. They argue the whole "competition" playing out on social media is meaningless since it's not a public vote and Todd Monken won't decide the job based on Instagram clips. The hosts note Shedeur would win any fan popularity contest in a landslide, but stress that conducting the offense, teammate confidence, and actually completing passes in practice are what will really decide the starter.

Hour 4 of Baskin and Phelps

Jeff and Andy talk to callers about their excitement surrounding Shedeur Sanders.

Andy and Jeff talk about Sheduer's starting potential for the Browns this season and how much hype follows him as a second year quarterback.

Four years.$273 million.A player option.A full trade kicker.And a Cleveland Cavaliers team that can no longer hide behind “we're still learning.”In this episode of Beyond The Game: Pick A Side Sports, Q breaks down what Donovan Mitchell's massive extension really means for Cleveland. Because the question is not whether Mitchell is good enough to get paid. He is.The real question is whether the Cavs are good enough around him to win big.After 52 wins, an Eastern Conference Finals run, and a sweep at the hands of the Knicks, Cleveland is officially out of “almost” season. If you pay like a contender, you have to build like one.But the East is not waiting around.Giannis is in Miami.Jaylen Brown is in Philly.The Knicks are sitting on the throne.Boston is retooling.Toronto is trying to bring back that old feeling.And Cleveland just locked in its star while the rest of the conference started loading up.Q gets into the real Eastern Conference question: did Cleveland lock in a championship window, or did the Cavs just pay top-tier money for a team that may still be one tier short?Then it is time for the NFL check-in.Shedeur Sanders is trying to close the gap in the Browns' quarterback battle, but the name cannot be louder than the numbers. Q looks at the receipts from Shedeur's rookie season, the training camp buzz, and whether Cleveland should give him a real shot — or make him earn every bit of it.Plus, Travis Hunter is one of the NFL's most unique talents, but should Jacksonville use him heavily both ways or protect the investment and make cornerback the priority?And later, Q brings out Start, Bench, Cut with one of the nastiest debates yet:Most entertaining prime:Allen Iverson.Derrick Rose.Russell Westbrook.Not the best career.Not the greatest legacy.Most must-see TV.This is not lazy hot takes.This is not fake outrage.This is sports talk with receipts, humor, context, and a clear point of view.Around here, we do not sit on the fence.Pick a side.

Mary Kay Cabot joins Ken and Anthony to break down who fills the marketing void left by Myles Garrett's trade, predicting Jared Verse, the new receivers, and possibly Denzel Ward will draw attention, with Shedeur Sanders becoming the face of the franchise if he wins the starting job. She also addresses the Deshaun Watson insurance cap savings confusion, noting she hasn't confirmed the exact figure but has seen an estimate around 9.8 million dollars, and downplays reports of shoulder fatigue as minor inconsistencies worth monitoring rather than a real concern. On the quarterback competition, she says Sanders needs to keep improving his pre-snap operation and decision-making speed to close the gap with Watson. Cabot also predicts Jared Verse will become more of a unifying, beloved locker room presence than Garrett ever was, given his more sociable personality.

Ken and Anthony jokingly declare Shedeur Sanders the winner of the Browns QB battle after video surfaced of him training under legendary coach Jim Tressel. They contrast that offseason win with Deshaun Watson's news, a murky update on his contract's insurance situation that reporter Mike Florio had to walk back after publishing bad numbers. The mix-up spins into a bigger rant from Ken about how the NFL salary cap isn't really a hard rule, a point he says fans are finally coming around on. The hosts wrap by poking fun at themselves for turning every offseason update into another Shedeur versus Deshaun debate.
