Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Published On: Tue Aug 11 2026
Description: Ken Carman and Anthony Lima revisit Todd Monken's explanation for Saturday's rep swap between Shedeur Sanders and Deshaun Watson, with Lima admitting he found Monken more convincing than expected. They riff on the freedom of finally reaching a career position where you don't owe anyone an explanation, comparing Monken to Bill Belichick and contrasting it with Kevin Stefanski's inability to ever wield that kind of authority. The hosts push back hard on fans calling the competition "rigged" for Watson, arguing Monken's rep-counting story sounds too granular and fair to be fabricated, while acknowledging ownership privately wants Shedeur to succeed.
