Description: Ken notes that when he tracks where callers and tweets about the Watson-Sanders quarterback fight are coming from, it's overwhelmingly Texas, Atlanta, and other out-of-state areas rather than Cleveland itself, arguing local Browns fans are far more accepting of whatever decision the coaching staff makes. Before getting into that, the hosts recap a fun weekend appearance at a Lake Erie Crushers game, including botched first pitches, a T-shirt toss lesson, and running into longtime Cleveland broadcaster Bob Karlovic. Ken reiterates his stance that he's willing to accept Deshaun Watson as the starter since fans got the coaching change they wanted, and predicts the Browns will end up using multiple quarterbacks over the course of the season regardless of who opens it. He pushes back on the idea that Shedeur Sanders fans have been "lied to" again, distinguishing this year's situation from last year's admittedly fake quarterback competition.
