NBA All-Star game, Lego Movie and RoboCop with Brian Spaeth - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-19 Feb 19, 2014

Show notes

I am out of town this week, but I recorded this podcast with Mr. Brian Spaeth prior to departing. Hopefully our takes on two movies and the all-star game aren't too stale from Monday night.

We saw the Lego Movie with my son and then saw RoboCop without my son a different night. We didn't watch the All-Star game together at all, but we talked about Pharrell, Nelly and Busta Rhymes in addition to the slam dunk contest.

Tribe, Browns and more Tribe with TD - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-18 Feb 18, 2014

It's been far too long since TD showed up on the Podcast. We talked about the Indians, spring training, the rotation, Ubaldo Jimenez.

Then we took a Tribe break and talked about the Browns and all their moves.

Then my power went out, I lost TD and had to call him back.

Then we talked about the Tribe again.

Browns clean house again! - Scott Raab discusses - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-12 Feb 12, 2014

Show notes

Honestly, Scott Raab has been trying to get away a bit from the Cleveland sports thing. I've left this platform completely open to him for whenever there's something worth talking about, and a mere days after Chris Grant was fired and we fired up the podcast, Jimmy Haslam drops the hammer in Berea. So? We loaded it up again.

There's no mystery about the things we talked about. The Browns, Joe Banner, Michael Lombardi, Jimmy Haslam, Ray Farmer, Alec Scheiner, Mike Pettine and more...

Traveling to Stipe Miocic's latest victory at UFC on FOX 10 with his friend Jamie - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-08 Feb 08, 2014

Show notes

I've talked about Stipe Miocic over the past few years as he's made his way through the ranks of the UFC. I've gotten to know some of his friends from the fire house, and I decided to talk to one of them, Jamie Meklemburg, about the experience of traveling to see his biggest fight to date in Chicago.

As we all know, Stipe beat Gabriel Gonzaga to keep his momentum going and to find himself ranked 6th among heavyweights in ESPN's latest MMA rankings.

Scott Raab discusses Chris Grant's firing - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-07 Feb 07, 2014

Show notes

It's always great to have Scott Raab's perspective when big things happen. We spent about an hour talking about all the different dynamics surrounding the Cavaliers and their decision to dismiss Chris Grant from the team.

As always, it was a discussion that went beyond what is normally covered in the rapid-fire sports talk settings we're normally used to.

Cleveland Browns head coach, ticket prices and Davone Bess with Tom Reed - WFNY Podcast - 2014-02-04 Feb 04, 2014

Show notes

Tom Reed from Northeast Ohio Media Group joined me to talk about the Browns. It's always fun to talk to Tom. Here are some of the things we discussed.

Kyle Shanahan's apparent hiring, Dan Quinn and whether the Browns should have waited, Browns ticket prices and where they're going, Davone Bess and why the Browns haven't done anything with him yet, and finally, we discussed Ray Farmer's return to the Browns after turning down the possibility of a promtion in Miami.

Last, but not least, I forced Tom to recommend something, whether it's a movie, album or TV show, and he chose a book.

Tom Reed recommends a history book on prohibition. Last Call: The Rise and Fall of Prohibition

Browns coaching search, Anthony Bennett and Super Bowl predictions with Dennis Manoloff - WFNY Podcast - 2014-01-29 Jan 29, 2014

Show notes

It's always great to catch up with Dennis Manoloff (follow D-Man on Twitter) and it has been too long since I have done so. D-Man talked to me about a variety of topics today from the Browns hiring Mike Pettine, philisophically how he treats the Pilot Flying J case as a Browns story, and Anthony Bennett.

Does Anthony Bennett still belongs in the d-league after his breakout night?

What are the chances that Ubaldo Jimenez is back with the Tribe?

Will T.J. Ward or Alex Mack be back with the Browns?

How much blame should Mike Brown take for the Cavs' woes?

What does D-Man think of the cold-weather Super Bowl?

What are his predictions for "The Big Game?"

Talking Browns, Cavs, Chief Wahoo, and poetry with CBthePoet - WFNY Podcast - 2014-01-26 Jan 27, 2014

Show notes

I don't go to the "friend" card on the podcast very often but when you have a friend who works in the business of the spoken word, it seems like a good place to go. My friend Chris grew up in Cleveland and relocated to Charlotte about 15 years ago. He keeps up with all the CLE sports just like the rest of us and sometimes uses them in his art, namely his poetry. CB has a poem he recently did about his revelations about Chief Wahoo and we talked about that... you know after we got the Browns and Anthony Bennett talk out of the way.

You can follow Chris on Twitter.

Here's the movie he referenced on the Podcast. Asphalt Revolution.

Scott Raab discusses the Browns hiring of Mike Pettine - WFNY Podcast - 2014-01-25 Jan 25, 2014

Show notes

We don't do a regular Monday morning podcast with Scott Raab anymore, but whenever there's something that needs to be discussed, he's there for us. With the Browns' hiring of Mike Pettine and ending the lengthy coaching search, it was a good time to catch up.

We discussed the Browns' search. We discussed Mike Pettine as a candidate. We discussed the challenges facing the Browns going forward and we even fit in a bit of Cavs talk with Chris Grant and Anthony Bennett.

Enjoy!
