The Cleveland Guardians trade Amed Rosario to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Noah Syndergaard Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

Amed Rosario was on an expiring contract and the Cleveland Guardians were unlikely to re-sign the young shortstop, so instead, the team dealt him to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for pitcher Noah Syndergaard.

Syndergaard was once a dominant pitcher for the Mets but has since fallen off a cliff. If any team can revitalize his career, it's the Guardians. The team also recalled Oscar Gonzalez from Triple-A to fill Rosario's roster spot until Syndergaard returns from a rehab assignment.

Justin Herbert just got the most overall money of any quarterback in the NFL, but Deshaun Watson is still the only QB with a fully guaranteed deal. Will there ever be another deal like Watson's?

How confident are you in each position group for the Cleveland Browns heading into 2023? We'll rank what we are most confident in.

We're also ranking a lot more than just that, trust us.

Finally, the Cleveland Cavaliers come in at #9 in ESPN's first Power Rankings for the upcoming season. Too high, too low, or just right?

Where would the Cleveland Browns be today if you could rewrite a few historical moments? Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

Nick Chubb is the best running back in the NFL.

NFL GMs aren't currently paying running backs what they're worth. No RB has gotten a multi-year deal worth $10M plus since Chubb in 2021. Does that make him the exception to the "Running backs shouldn't get paid" argument? Or does he fit in line with the likes of Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs?

Who could the Cleveland Guardians target at the MLB Trade Deadline? The panel runs through a few names who may pop up on your radar pretty soon.

What would have happened if Art Moddell never moved the Browns from Cleveland in the first place?

Plus, Tyvis Powell mic'd up in a new segment called "UCSS Investigates" that is sure to make you laugh.

Jimmy Haslam DESPERATELY wants the Cleveland Browns to succeed | Is this the Make or Break season? Jul 25, 2023

Show notes

Cleveland Browns Owners Jimmy & Dee Haslam spoke to the media on Monday as they do each year at the start of Training Camp. Jimmy Haslam errored on the side of caution when he said it is dangerous to call this a now-or-never season with how competitive the league and the AFC North are. Are you buying it?

NBA Insider says he sees no chance that Donovan Mitchell will sign a long-term extension with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Tim Bontemps believes the Cavaliers should attempt to trade Mitchell now versus next summer. Do you believe the reports, and should the Cavs shop Donovan Mitchell?

According to multiple reports, Cleveland Guardians ace Shane Bieber is headed to the 60 Day IL and cannot pitch again until at least September. Where do the Guardians go from here?

Cleveland Guardians collapse late against Phillies with record breaking Progressive Field crowd Jul 24, 2023

Show notes

Training camp is officially underway for the Cleveland Browns, who kicked off things Saturday for the first time during the 2023 season in Greenbrier, WV.

It was the first time during the actual year the media has gotten a chance to speak to the likes of Deshaun Watson, Kevin Stefanski and Andrew Berry, and DW4 made it clear he's only interested in talking about the upcoming season. Is this a mandate the Browns should set for Watson as his media availabilities moving forward?

Amari Cooper missed Sunday's practice with a "minor tweak" according to Andrew Berry. Marquise Goodwin is out with blood clots. Anthony Schwartz is injured too. How's that wide receiver depth looking now?

Andrew Berry says he wanted to give Perrion Winfrey another shot to prove he's matured, but had to cut ties after the latest incident involving the 2022 4th round pick. Berry says this won't discourage him from drafting character flag guys moving forward. Is that a smart move?

Nick Chubb is taking a stand with his fellow running backs and demanding they get paid, but will Saquon Barkley or Josh Jacobs actually miss games for this cause.

The Cleveland Guardians bullpen blew another lead on Sunday to ruin the team's chances at a sweep in front of a record breaking weekend crowd at Progressive Field.

Plus, a draft of the greatest Cleveland athletes of all-time.

Cleveland Guardians trade deadline: Who would you trade for Shohei Ohtani? Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

The Cleveland Browns are set to kick-off training camp tomorrow in Greenbrier, WV.

There's a lot of questions about who will end up making the 53 man roster in several key positions, including WR & DT, so we're asking which veteran member of the team has the most to prove during the next few days?

Will any of the running backs who say they'll hold out for a long term deal, actually hold out? Saquon Barkley & Josh Jacobs are putting the pressure on their teams, but it's still only the middle of summer.

Then it's time for the "Worst Teammates Ever" draft. Will Kyrie Irving be the first overall pick, or will the panel go elsewhere with 1:1?

The Cleveland Guardians are back in action today, but we're not talking about the game. We want to know which of the young talent on the team does the panel actually think can be a valuable piece of a championship team? The amount of players who truly are might surprise you.

Finally, what factors do you value most in the GOAT debate?
