Was Shedeur Sanders Missing From Deshaun Watson's Team Party? Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Ken explains why Todd Monken shouldn't be at a players' party, since a head coach can't be everyone's buddy and players can't let their hair down around the boss. Lima says fans were asking on social media where Shedeur Sanders was, and that multiple people at the party told him Sanders wasn't there. They note the party was thrown together on under 24 hours' notice and wonder whether Sanders had a prior commitment, with neither making a big deal of it.

Are the Cavs Better Off Without LeBron Thanks to Peyton Watson? Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima admit the Cavs buzz is low because fans are more upset about the TV situation, the baseball run and the Browns' start stole attention, and the team didn't land LeBron. Ken argues that a 42-year-old LeBron is not the same player and that the Cavs improved at wing with Peyton Watson, then bristles at Brian Windhorst-style doubters like Scalabrini leaving them out of his East top six. They tease the Todd Monken party debate coming up next.

Doug Lesmerises: Ryan Day Gets a Small Pass Without Julian Sayin Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Doug Lesmerises tells Ken and Lima that Ryan Day gets only a little pass with Julian Sayin likely done for the year, since Ohio State still has to beat Michigan, and he explains how hard it is to keep an ideal backup quarterback in the transfer era. He compares the situation to JT Barrett in 2014, calls the road trip to USC and the home game against Oregon the real test, and says Jeremiah Smith's Heisman case could go either way. Ken and Lima then debate whether Day deserves a pass, with Lima arguing he has built a program that can handle college football's volatility.

Should Jordan Elliott Get a Second Chance After the Gun Incident? Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

Ken and Lima react to Mary Kay Cabot's interview and debate whether the Browns should bring back Jordan Elliott after he reportedly pulled a gun at Titans practice, weighing Robert Saleh's glowing endorsement against Ken's Pac-Man Jones story and his point that plenty of other defensive linemen are available. They then take on the pushback to their Deshaun Watson stance, with Ken saying he'd take Watson over 12 or 13 starting quarterbacks right now. Ken tees up Doug Lesmerises to talk about Ohio State's lowered expectations without Julian Sayin.
