Shedeur Fans are Mad at Ken Over a Cam Ward Question About the Browns Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima address the online backlash from a Neutral Zone clip that floated Cam Ward as a Browns option beyond this year, with Ken saying Shedeur Sanders fans flooded his mentions even though he never said Sanders' name. Ken explains he judges Sanders on what he does on the field, not his fan base, and argues the Browns can't realistically trade up with picks in the teens. He says Deshaun Watson won't last a full 17-game season, so Cleveland needs a quarterback with upside in the room for 2027, even with the team sitting at 3-2.

Around the AFC North: Is Lamar Playing Against the Browns Sunday? Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima go around the AFC North with Bob Haynie in Baltimore, who is 50-50 on Lamar Jackson playing Sunday against the Browns and says Tyler Huntley can hold things down for a few games. Geoff Hobson in Cincinnati defends Joe Burrow as clutch and doesn't expect a bye-week trade, while Chris Mueller in Pittsburgh says Aaron Rodgers isn't good again, rips Patrick Queen's tape against Cleveland, and picks Drew Allar as the Steelers' 2027 quarterback. The segment ends with a tease about whether the Browns keep Deshaun Watson next season.

Two Second Trivia Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima run Two-Second Trivia for a four-pack of Mr. Hero combo meals, but callers freeze, guess wrong, or blow the clock on questions about the Browns, the Rays, and Ohio football. One caller is dropping his kid off mid-game, and another brags that his son is the youngest starting quarterback ever at Cleveland Heights. No one wins, so the crew points listeners to the Mr. Hero gift card gang for another shot at free food and tees up the AFC North roundup.

Todd Dery Won't Blame Jose Ramirez, Blames the Turf at Tropicana Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Todd Dery of the Dery Brothers Guardians Cast joins Ken and Lima and refuses to play the Game 2 blame game, saving his anger for Tropicana Field and defending Austin Hedges as Parker Messick's personal catcher. He explains why teams are likely holding their ABS challenges later in October, says the Rays' lineup past the top three doesn't scare him, and predicts the Guardians head back to Tampa up 3-2. Todd also says he is sticking with Brayan Rocchio over Angel Martinez or Angel Genao, since now is not the time for a rash change.

Does Jose Ramirez Owe Guardians Fans an Apology? Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima stay confident heading into Game 3, pointing to Gavin Williams on the mound, a rested bullpen, and a 2-3-2 format that gets help from the bad weather. They also gripe about playoff ticket prices and roast John over his "fish in a barrel" line. A caller named Isaac argues Jose Ramirez owes fans an apology for his Game 2 error, and Ken shuts the call down fast, while another caller says the team is playing with house money and there's no reason to panic.

The ALCS is NOT the Time to Bench Established Veterans Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima argue the Guardians should stick with veterans like Brayan Rocchio and Austin Hedges instead of turning to youth after Game 2, even with Rocchio struggling at the plate. Ken says he would keep going to Angel Martinez with an eye on the future, but he credits the team's patience with slumping players for the clubhouse culture and gives the front office credit for trade pickups like Patrick Bailey, Nathaniel Lowe, and Foster Griffin. They agree that in a tied series, one big hit with runners on can flip the perception of a player.

Why Are Rays Fans Angry at Steven Kwan's Thumbs Up-Thumbs Down Celebration? Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima laugh off Rays fans getting annoyed at Kwan's thumbs routine, and Ken admits Shedeur Sanders fans are still flooding him with insults even though he never said the name. They can't find anyone on Tampa Bay worth booing in Cleveland, then circle back to the Game 2 blame game, where Austin Hedges, Jose Ramirez, and Rougie Odor holding Kwan at third all take some heat. A Medina caller says nobody deserves the blame, and Ken agrees it's no time to abandon an aggressive approach after one bad inning.

Why We Aren't Blaming Jose For the Game 2 Loss Oct 14, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima react to the Guardians' 3-0 Game 2 loss to the Rays, which ties the ALCS at one apiece, and debate whether anyone deserves the blame for Jose Ramirez's error, the missed Austin Hedges challenge, and Brayan Rocchio's approach at the plate. Ken defends talking about the World Series and rips baseball's challenge system, arguing technology should just call balls and strikes. The segment wraps with a tangent on AI, including Lima's claim that it saves him eight hours a week, and a note that Gavin Williams is set to start Game 3 at 6 p.m.
