We are witnessing why 31 teams passed on Shedeur multiple times. The conspiracy theories/sabotage stuff is absurd. He just isn’t good enough yet and isn’t ready to be a starting QB. Teams saw that early and wanted no part of this nonsense. It’s not anymore complicated than that

Mentioned it on Behind the Glass with Mikey McNuggets & Earl Da Pearl but I've made my own YouTube channel to talk about my nerd stuff and live stream some games. First video is up right now! youtu.be/JfKN2V5uA1c

The Guardians celebrated their 1995 World Series team over the weekend. One face was missing, the same face that's always missing at these sorts of things. Where's Albert Belle? nytimes.com/athletic/65899…

Abolish kickers

The Browns held the Bengals to 7 net yards in the second half. And lost.

Nobody carves the organs out of its fan base quite like the Browns. But it wasn’t all bad Sunday. Not even close. nytimes.com/athletic/66095…

Teamed up with Jeff Zrebiec for this on Joe Flacco, the wise old man who’s beloved by both the Ravens and the Browns. Could it possibly be a happy homecoming Sunday? nytimes.com/athletic/66180…

The Ravens are throwing an anniversary party this weekend and were kind enough to invite their ex. So I’ll use it as a chance to remind you that in addition to all the vitriol aimed at Art Modell, Al Lerner was just as culpable in the Browns departure nytimes.com/athletic/66173…

Joe Flacco can’t move. Neither can the Browns offense. Now what? nytimes.com/athletic/66294…

This is getting kinda interesting. Guardians devil magic, 5 a.m. viewings of "The Longest Yard" and enough playoff scenarios to make your head spin: nytimes.com/athletic/66361…

So far we've seen a draw on 3rd and 7 and the ol' flea flicker into a check down to the tight end. Jesus take the wheel.

This is a season of beginnings and endings in Cleveland. Veterans trying to hold on for a few more weeks and rookies trying to emerge as the future. On Sunday, one kick brought all of them together. nytimes.com/athletic/66502…

Well, there was the 10-game losing streak. And the gambling investigation. And the trade deadline. And another skid. The Guardians kept it together, through dark days, difficult conversations, tears and sleepless nights. Inside their turnaround: nytimes.com/athletic/66523…

So this is cool: Here's an article on The Athletic today... by Steven Kwan. How the two-time All-Star deals with nerves and stress on the baseball field and how he has navigated his way through a wild season nytimes.com/athletic/66603…

For the Guardians to do the impossible, it took a village. It took contributions from the usual suspects and from the most unlikely heroes. Behind the scenes of a crazy clinch day for a team that’s savoring this moment: nytimes.com/athletic/66696…

We’ve seen enough. It’s time. nytimes.com/athletic/66717…

Guardians Game 2 lineup: 1. LF Steven Kwan 2. RF George Valera 3. 3B José Ramírez 4. DH Kyle Manzardo 5. C Bo Naylor 6. SS Gabriel Arias 7. CF Chase DeLauter 8. 1B CJ Kayfus 9. 2B Brayan Rocchio SP Tanner Bibee DeLauter will be the sixth player ever to debut in the playoffs.

The Guardians waited 164 games for this lineup. It arrived just in time nytimes.com/athletic/66817…

I bought a blow torch in the spring to kill weeds. It works great, except I keep catching the trees and bushes on fire in the landscape. Somehow this feels like an apt description of the Browns’ QB room/search.

I've seen it all now. A souvenir stand on the Roberto Clemente bridge, in the shadows of Acrisure Stadium, selling the jersey of the Browns backup QB. Cats and dogs breaking bread together.
