Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Mon May 18 2026
Description: Ken and Lima dig into the Cavs' hard-fought series win over Detroit and debate who deserves MVP honors — a question that's genuinely tricky because different players carry the team in different games across seven hard-fought contests. Evan Mobley gets the nod as the pick who makes the most sense when you look at the full arc of the series, but the conversation acknowledges that Harden's Games 3-5, Sam Merrill's Game 7 explosion, and Jared Allen's consistent presence all make this a genuine team effort rather than a one-man show. On the Browns front, the Eli Manning draft day story surfaces — turns out Cleveland was in the mix before New York — which feeds right into the bigger conversation about whether Arch Manning or any elite quarterback prospect would ever willingly come to a franchise that's favorites in only two games on their entire 2026 schedule.
