I cannot believe that not only are we going to potentially be forced to watched deshaun watson play football again, but we have to deal with his flunkies coming back out of the woodwork on social media

Can Shedeur play well enough to stop the Browns from drafting a QB in 2027? #clevelandbrowns
Can Shedeur play well enough to stop the Browns from drafting a QB in 2027? #clevelandbrowns YouTube video by Another D*mn Cleveland Sports Podcast

is there a level of play that Shedeur Sanders could reach this season that would prevent the Browns from drafting a QB high in the 2027 draft?

@andrewspayde.bsky.social and I tried to answer that hypothetical πŸ‘‡

What the Heck is Going On in Cleveland Sports? 3/12 Edition Will Evan Mobley's flashes ever transition to something more?

in the return of the newsletter, I wrote about Evan Mobley, uncertain ceilings and whether the big man will ever leave the "potential" stage of his career behind.

Noah Penda started at the three point line and ended up in the dunker spot after Donovan crossed him over lmao

I would die for Keon Ellis

one of those games where you find it difficult to understand why things are so hard for Evan Mobley.

can’t win on a mismatch against Jalen Suggs. can’t move anyone off the spot in the post. two quick bad fouls

all these countries having a blast playing in the World Baseball Classic and caring deeply while Team USA might get eliminated because their manager couldn't be bothered to check the rules after one of their star players said the Olympics would matter more.

feels pretty fitting!

Are we gonna talk about this on the pod? Yes we are.

the only second apron I recognize is the one I just bought at Home Goods, folks!

I appreciate the people who understand/break down salary cap implications across the various sports leagues. but there is nothing less interesting to me in the world

dead money? second apron? deferred payments into future years? i'd rather be punched in the face continuously

3 Reasons Why the Cavs Beat the Pistons, featuring Jaylon Tyson's defense and a welcome Craig Porter Jr. sighting πŸ‘€

looks like he told reporters he’ll be fine after the game

Cavs holding Cade Cunningham without a field goal for the ENTIRE second half is insane

Harden made Cade Cunningham stumble so far back he almost ended up at the dig site in Brook Park

if this is how Harden plays with a broken thumb, I think we’re gonna be ok

04.03.2026 01:06 πŸ‘ 4 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

as has been the case with Mobley forever, he’s so good when he’s decisive. that move he just pulled on JaVonte Green is always there, even on bigger defenders

pretty bummed Donovan Mitchell is missing both these games against the Pistons. would’ve given the Cavs some data points on what Detroit would try to do defensively against him and Harden. alas

have a feeling that's what they'll do

What the Heck is Going On in Cleveland Sports? 3/2 Edition It's time to talk about Chase DeLauter (complementary)

The swing mechanics are weird. The health is questionable. And yet all the dude does is MASH

why it's ok be unreasonably excited about Chase DeLauter, who could genuinely be a superstar, in today's newsletter πŸ‘‡

I’ve said it before, but Sam Merrill’s development into a complete basketball player is remarkable

well alright then Mobley!

think you’ve gotta put Jaylon Tyson on Cade full time in the second half

28.02.2026 01:09 πŸ‘ 3 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

really nice first quarter from the Cavs. if Merrill and Tyson can knock down their 3s, and you’re getting production from the bigs, you’re gonna be able to stay attached to a team that doesn’t shoot well from deep like the Pistons

28.02.2026 00:42 πŸ‘ 1 πŸ” 0 πŸ’¬ 0 πŸ“Œ 0

I could watch Sam Merrill shoot 3s on a loop for about five hours straight
