The Cleveland Guardians bats stay RED HOT in a 10-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns are looked at as one of the dark horse contenders in the NFL this year.

In Cleveland, expectations for this team are through the roof. But outside of the city, how do opposing teams & their fans view the Browns? Are the other AFC North teams truly worried about Deshaun Watson, Nick Chubb and company?

Maybe they should be, considering the Browns have one of, if not the best, top end talent in the entire NFL. EP Steve thinks Cleveland is #1 on this list. We'll see if the UCSS panel agrees.

We're trying a new game called "2 For 1" which involves the Cleveland Cavaliers summer league stars and their NBA counterparts. This will either go great or terrible, no inbetween.

Plus, the Cleveland Guardians offense has arisen from the ashes like a phoenix, as Josh Naylor's 2 home runs helped Cleveland crush Pittsburgh 10-1. What will it take for you to buy back into this offense as a legitimate threat to opposing pitchers?

Are the Cleveland Guardians considered buyers or sellers as we approach the MLB trade deadline? Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

Emoni Bates scored 19 points, Isaiah Mobley had 28, Sam Merrill had 27, as the Cleveland Cavaliers crushed the Houston Rockets to capture the team's first ever Summer League Championship.

Bates also had 4 assists in the game. Merrill broke the SL 3-point record.

Nick Chubb is the exception when it comes to contracts for running backs in the NFL. He's the only one with a multi-year contract that pays him more than $10M per year. Is that sustainable?

Who is the Browns most important non-star in 2023? Is it Elijah Moore, Cade York or someone else?

Should the Cleveland Guardians be buyers or sellers at the trade deadline?

DeAndre Hopkins signed with the Tennessee Titans over the weekend, ending any hopes & dreams he'd end up with the Cleveland Browns. Hopkins said he wanted to play for a contender, but ended up taking the most money. Will the Browns regret not giving him a bigger offer?
