Indians starting rotation as a starting NFL quarterback - WFNY Podcast #467 Mar 09, 2016

Show notes

It's Cleveland Indians season and that means in-fighting amongst the Tribe faithful about the team and if they did enough to compete. I make the case that the Indians did not do enough and left too much of their plan up to hope. Also, I talk about the Browns and how quiet their rumor mill has been thus far.

We discuss RG3, Pacman Jones, the Indians' rotation and much more.
