Is the Show Actually Biased Against Deshaun Watson?  
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Thu Jul 23 2026
Description: A caller named Nick challenges the show's pro-Sanders lean head-on, arguing Deshaun Watson is clearly the Browns' best quarterback right now and that benching a $41 million veteran for an unproven rookie makes no football sense, sparking a heated back-and-forth over whether "best player plays" should override contract size, history, or long-term upside. Ken counters that Watson's baggage and inconsistency matter more than a practice stat line, while producer Tone confirms even NFL coaches chart throws differently than fans online. The segment also swings back to LeBron James, with Ken joking he'd claim the earth is flat if it meant landing Kyrie Irving and getting LeBron back, while still insisting — again — that he won't match his 2014-level excitement if LeBron returns. It closes with a lighter tangent involving a whistle, a youth-football lion hat, and old "punch palace" scrimmage stories.
