Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Description: Ken and Lima broke down what the Browns' nearly all-1-o'clock schedule actually signals — and it isn't about Shedeur Sanders' popularity, it's about the league having zero confidence in this football team after back-to-back losing seasons with no proven quarterback and a roster still very much under construction. The Shedeur faithful were convinced primetime games would follow him to Cleveland, pointing to the draft ratings dip as proof of his national appeal, but Ken pushed back hard — the NFL schedules winners, and until the Browns prove they can win, they're going to keep getting the early window regardless of who's under center. The honest takeaway is simple: go earn it, because Seattle flew under the radar all last year and nobody cared once they started winning, and the Browns will get their primetime games the same way everyone else does.
