2:02before your surgery. They're Ken Carmen Show with F3 Lyma. Felix will beat the calves for the third time this season, 3 and L. Celtics now 2 and L since Jason Tatum's return. And they approved a 43 and 21. As the calves pushing one of the hottest teams in the NBA over the last 22 games. Fall short at home, a rare home loss for them. They fall with 39 and 25. A measurement of where our energy was in the first half. We weren't getting off into rebounds, right? You missed like that. You got mute normally where we're much better. So tell it to halves. I thought our energy and force was below average. You can do the first half up to the second half. It was better. Give them credit. I felt they made all the big plays. They made better decisions that we did. Play better. You know, when you're not making shots, it feels like the world is falling. The crowd is quiet. Probably one of the worst halves of shooting. We probably had all season.

3:03And it will be fine. We can't allow that to affect anything. And we picked it up in a second half. Like we should live in front. This is Cleveland's sports radio, 92-3, the fan. Audio courtesy at ABC. Good morning. Good morning, Kenny. Well, a lot of upset people in my mentions yesterday afternoon, boy. Oh, yeah. Little irritated. Well, I don't want to see. I don't want to overreact to social media. Not a real place. I've said that more and more often. Over the last few months, I understand that. Because I don't know if we know exactly how to handle the calves and the new look calves. Because they started making a comeback in the third. A second and a half, a second quarter is some of the worst basketball I think I've ever seen in play. At least in the sense LeBron James first played. All right, I'm sure I've seen some pretty terrible ass calves basketball beforehand and even between. But that second quarter was about as bad as it could possibly

4:07be. And it didn't help that you couldn't hit a shot. And every time you look at the TV, someone was hitting something from Boston. So it was a good day for Boston. You started making a, but you started making a run in third quarter. And Donovan came out. I'm like, well, he's obviously on a minutes restriction. So if he's on a minutes restriction, how, how, how mad should I get about this loss? And immediately I was making excuses and pussy footing around the bad problems that had to go with the calves. I'm going, well, you can take them as excuses and be as mad as you want. But these are explanations. These are reasons. You know, you've had not a lot of practice. You have had injuries. Now again, they, you go playing five games in seven days to having like four days off. Yeah, it's going to throw a wrench into things. It does throw some things off. But regardless of what I said, it just sounds like a great big fat excuse to a significant amount of people. It seems that are calves fans here. So I really don't know how to take them other than, well, I know how to take them. I just don't think fans know how to take them. I take them as if, all right, it was a bad day at the office yesterday.

5:09There's some things they got to get fixed. Boston's going to be a hell of a formidable opponent. There might be some people who say I should get my eraser out. Maybe I will later on. I'm not going to entertain that right now. But yeah, it was a bad day. Is it really bad? That's what they wanted to know. People were tweeting me about your pencil. I'm like, get out of my mentions about Ken's pencil. We'll talk about my pencil later. We have more important things. Ken never said Sharpie. I never said Sharpie. Right. He never said Sharpie. He never said pencil. Yeah. But if you erase it, how many times am I going to erase it? I mean, at some point, I got to have some stones and make a declaration here. Now, but we'll talk about that another time. I guess we want to talk about it right now. Did he say mechanical pencil? Did he say old number two for your, what were the old testing slips we used to have with the fill in with the bubbles, scantron, scantron? Yes. How do you know that? Yeah. You weren't alive. I had scantrons. How many? Yeah, scantron. You guys. Yeah. Who had AI?

6:09Your whole office. Yeah. That's the market trade. That's the bad thing. I think I was blown up. That's the bad thing. In 2020. I brought a pencil. You're a pencil. I can't believe it. Your pencil. Your official pencil. My official pencil. Yep. I made, I brought one for just such an occasion. I go, I found one in my desk and I go, I better bring it because if they lose one of these games and I have to hold the pencil because it's a theater. And I have to hold the pencil up in the camera and go, should I get my eraser out today at 720 on the fan? Okay. Well, there you go. There it is. We'll talk about it later. Yeah. I don't want to get the pencils and things like that. I can't. But that's what a people were messaging me. Okay. Well, they can message it. You can call right on it and ask, but I'm talking about the real thing. It ain't about me. It's about the calves. And it's about how people take the calves and yesterday was a bad day at the office. These things happen. These things happen. It was a terrible, no good bad day at the office because they had missed 16 straight three pointers. Normally, that's all you need. Like, I love when the coaches are eyeing down the box score coming out of the half and

7:12maybe they'll do a sideline report when the game is on national TV and they'll just always coaches always go to the same stuff. They'll look at turnovers, they'll look at rebounds, offensive rebounds, they'll go right to those. But nowadays, in the way, the NBA is, if you tell me a team misses 16 and a row of threes, I have a 98% certainty that they probably lost again. And that's what happened. And furthermore, it's always not just missing the threes. They had it one stretch. I think Danny Cunningham had the, the analytics about those miss threes, nine of them were wide open, catching shoot Celtics had nothing to do with it, miss threes, which you want to look at that too, because normally that over the course of a season, over the course of a, especially a playoff series, you know, that stuff normalizes. And then the other, the other thing people brought up, you had the, is it called daylight savings? Or is it? What is the time? It's all daylight savings. And then some sort. So every time the clock changes, it's called daylight savings, I think so.

8:16And then you spring forward and you fall back that those are the two differentiations. But it's, it's daylight savings of some, of some factor of advice against, advice against, you know, maybe scheduling those, according to the afternoon affairs, according to the farmers, Almanac, apparently farmers were fighting daylight savings for years before they enacted daylight. Say some food for thought, yeah, some food for thought, well, that might have something to do with it. And then you didn't have. Boston, Boston was the road team didn't see them bother them. So because that was the problem for the cabs when we went on the road and you played an early game and then not to mention Jared Allen who we, we put him up for Easter conference player of the month. He did not win that award nor do I even know if he was a finalist. But his month of February was the best month of his career and just an altogether amazing, amazing. I don't know. I don't know if that's a revelation, but that was incredible. He and James Harden and obviously their chemistry, they had, but we didn't have any of that.

9:16So you didn't have that two man game. So really you had, I just listed five things and in the end, nobody cares because for the same people that said regular season games don't matter. All season are now living and dying with every regular season game and they lost to the Celtics and now a bunch of people were in my mentioned saying you want to do everything you can to avoid playing the Boston Celtics in the playoffs. Well, I hate to say it, but I think I think that's, I think I think that's true. Well, they look right back to being, I hate the best team in the East. Well, it sounds like a real guy who penciled in the calves to the NBA finals, didn't it? Here's James Harden yesterday asked whether or not or I should ask James to do the calves need to be a little bit more like Boston, James. No, never mind. We'll get on to that here in a second. I want to know from you though, should we do everything we can to avoid Boston? I know, we've talked so much about a third of the league tanking and now maybe the calves need to throw throw their hat in the ring for being another team that needs a tank depending

10:20on where the South side of the problem is I don't know where the Celtics are going to be because they're only two and a half games outside of the one seed now. So how do you actively avoid Boston if you don't know what seed they're going to end up with? All right, James Harden, should we avoid Boston or be more like Boston? That's the standard right there. The part of the game of basketball is missing and making shots, but like our competitive nature, our competitive spirit, you know, for a game, no matter if we're making shots or not, like that's what we do and we forced the game to do in our hands and I think that's the second half, you know, we found something ourselves. So that's the level that we got to get to Boston and once we get there because I know we're good enough, we will get there and then we'll be a much better team. Well, see, that's that's part of what I got a bit of a sniff about. I know that they're good. I just don't know if they're going to have enough time this year to get to that level of what Boston is and I understand that people said, well, James, Jason Tatum hasn't played all year. I guys, I know that we trust me. We know it very, very well, but this is still a team that's played together for a long period of time, years they played together with Jalen Brown and Jason Tatum and has always

11:22been great, but certainly it's a very, very, very good basketball team. The one that you have to raise up, raise your level of play up and answer to and I don't know if that's going to be able to happen necessarily this year, Anthony, that's my issue with it. And that's not an excuse. I think that's natural, but if I'm being called a great big excuse maker, then fine, I'll be called a great big excuse maker. I don't think it's that. I don't, I don't think it has anything to do with making excuses. Well, then what the hell is it? I do think why I, because I'm just being called everything I say, let's be like savings time that is a big fat excuse burn at I'm not make, I'm trying to make excuses. I'm, I'm just being honest about it. Yeah. Well, I'm just saying this that if if the Boston Celtics, this iteration of them seems just as dangerous, just as potent as the last one, which had, you know, the unicorn, their version of the unicorn that was in there who is he dealing with long COVID? What is going on with with poor Zingas? What is he? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

12:23I don't know. Anyway, um, they mysterious illness is either not so, so Boston, to me going and this is why I would not get too carried away about any of this is last year. I thought Boston was as perfectly built as you could possibly be built. They had length scoring defense across the board, not just their starters, but also their bench and that team lost. They were down three games to one when Jason Tatum went down with the injury and they ended up losing in the playoffs prematurely and then he goes down with an injury. So I thought that team was going to be unbeatable last year, at least in the Eastern Conference and they did not make it out of the Eastern Conference. So I want to hesitate, but this version of Boston, very different from that version of Boston and this team looks unbelievable and especially when they've got their bench playing the way they did. I mean, Pritchard, he is kind of in feast or famine, but more feast and he was dominant yesterday. And you and your guys choose, please, you want to talk about their spacing, they don't

13:26just space the floor from the three point line. They space the floor from like 30 feet and they are just mixing and every time they need a bucket, all right, we'll break down the cabs defense, we'll swing the ball around and then we'll shoot a 28 footer and it will not touch the rim every time. And so they again, looks so difficult to beat and in the playoffs series, they look beat, but then I tough to beat, but then again, I say this, I thought that was going to be them last year. I wouldn't just say the seasons over, calves aren't going anywhere, but the realigned odds have the Boston Celtics as the leader and now that gap to get out of the Easter conference is growing and growing and growing, calves are still number two. Yeah. I don't know if that'll make anybody feel any better, calves are still number two on the odds I'm looking at. I would have to say, I think if we did learn anything, we did, we did figure out the team that's the real team to beat the East. I know there's been four teams that have kind of rotated it before. I think the team to beat the East is obviously the Boston Celtics.

14:29However, Donovan Mitchell, he is your leader. He was asked about getting guys into gear. Here's what Donovan had to say about that. This episode is brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

17:31Don't settle. Get back with Zari Law. The office is in Maryland, D.C. and Virginia, like team and I are ready to stand up for you. Call 888-828-Hurt. That's 888-828-HURT and let us fight back for you. As the leader of the group, you know, it's not always just scoring, right? Like, you know, it's on both ends of the floor. It's rebound. It's like all the little things like that. That's truly, truly what it is. And then obviously, when the shots fall, that always helps too, right? But, you know, for me, just trying to just push the energy high, right? You know, kind of set that tone. Kind of go from there, but that's my job as a leader of the group. I think it's also going to be a little bit on James Harden, too. I mean, he's the guy who's been there as well. And these other guys are going to- and I know Jared didn't play, but some of these other guys are going to have to raise their stakes as well. That's how your lights are going to get bright. I guess I'm nervous. I'm nervous about this injury for James Harden because his dribbling is clearly impacted. And if he's not dribbling, big part of his game is that he has that ball on a yo-yo

18:37and he could create separation at any point. And last night, yesterday afternoon, me, it was last night when I watched the game because when I got back in the town, but he would lose the bat. He would go to some of his patent moves and he would lose the ball. They have to go gather it again. And now it throws off everything. It throws off the whole possession. The way this works in NBA, especially when he has the ball towards the end of a possession. So I'm monitoring that very closely because that's- that stinks. I mean, they trade it for James Harden and if he's having trouble, you know, ball handling, well, that's going to be a big hindrance. And Donovan was also asked a very weird question. This is- is he worried about being swept by Boston? No, I mean, I think they're a talented team and we've just lost three games and we'll go from there. Well, let's get to Boston first. I- I know that it didn't go their- your welder in the regular season. Let's get to Boston first before we're asked such questions, you know, about being swept. You know, what- one- one game at a time, please. And it doesn't seem like it's a great matchup right now.

19:38And it seems like we're eating a little bit of humble pie this morning. But let's- let's get to that postseason matchup eventually. 216-474-0092. All right, 645. We do have some news here for everybody. If you're driving into downtown Cleveland, there is a sinkhole downtown. So we will have something for you coming up at around 645 with some details of the sinkhole. That's in downtown Cleveland and around West 3rd as you make your way into downtown today. And today is the day tampering starts at noon. Rumors can happen at any time. They can emerge at any time. Derror rider boots on the ground. 92-3 of the fan. YouTube live. The free audacity. Everybody's got to be listening because as soon as noon happens, which probably means there's going to be some rumors too that are happening before noon. Like an opera beer smell bag that he put out at about 10-30 last night. We'll get to all that because we could be making some signings and we could have ourselves some brand new browns coming up here over the coming day. So don't go anywhere. 92-3 of the fan. 92-3 of the fan.com. YouTube live for absolutely free. The free audacity.

20:38If there's nowhere else to go. And it's probably the most underrated position in sports. Speaking of money. If you got to overpay, then you overpay. Can calm an Anthony Lyme alive on the fan. 643. We've got a sinkhole downtown Cleveland. Finally came for us. I've been seeing sinkhole stories all over the country. It finally came for us. Well, Vodio, you got to pay attention to. Going to about 643 this morning. Also, tampering starts at noon. Rumors could emerge at any time. We're tracking some down. Albert Breer has written about one in his mail bag. The money morning quarterback. You want to get wonky about offensive lineman? Oh, my dream comes true. OK, well, this is, hey, when you got five open spots, basically, of the offensive line guys, where it's going to go. Now, you brought in Titus Howard. So now you got four open spots across the offensive line. So rumors could happen anytime. If you want to hear rumors about offensive lineman folks,

21:40we're your home for them. 92-3 of the fan 92-3 of the fan.com. And on the free audacity app. According to Albert, maybe the most interesting one that is a possibility. We'll get back to the calves coming up here in a little bit. But he says, Albert writes, maybe the most interesting one in terms of possibilities is Commander's Guard Chris Paul. And then he writes in parentheses. No, not that Chris Paul, who appears to have priced himself out of Washington with teams like Cleveland and Hot Pursuit. Paul became a full-time starter for the first time, three weeks into his fourth pro season. And it's trending to one of those quote, he's got what sort of deals. So it means that, whoever you get in free agency, in terms of money, that's money. This would obviously be an overpay. You're going to overpay for everybody. I looked at the Tyler Lindobom thing. I know that some people out there that have the Browns linked. There's a lot that don't. And I know that he was offered a market setting

22:43deal by the Baltimore Ravens. They haven't come to terms yet on anything. And there's several other teams where maybe they can offer a more of a market setting deal for Tyler Lindobom, who's a very, very, very good center. Now, I can't all be fixed in one year. I get a little nervous about what Andrew Berry had said about, you know, the Bears and things like that during the, during the Combine Conversations that he had with the media. But here we go. And then he says, there's a lot of the Bears and things like that during the, during the Combine Conversations that he had with the media. But here we are. And I don't think that this is going to get people dancing in the streets over free agency here. But this is a, this is something that you probably have to do. This is part of the building block because you haven't been able to replace a lot at the guard position. You haven't been able to draft well. And I don't know what the future is. Is it Joel Betoni whether or not he's going to retire? Or maybe he might end up signing on with another team for all we know. So there's a lot here that has to play out. And they're going to, they're going to take a look at this Chris Paul guy. Free agency is weird to talk about these days because not only are you always trying to consider what your,

23:47what your bank account is, but now you have to take a look at every year as a cap goes up 20 million every single year. Yeah. Well, it goes up for everybody. So it's, it's relative. Any kind of advantage you think you have over everybody else kind of goes away when every team has that. And so I'm always shocked when anybody goods even available because the teams that had that guy, the cap went up for them too. So if they're unwilling to go after their own guy or, or to, to keep them in house like it makes you think, well, why is that guy available if the cap goes up 20 million every year? Like I get it every team has a bunch of needs. But that's also part of it. And then it also makes you wonder, well, when that guy becomes available, yeah, the Browns have money to spend. But so does everybody else. So what are you going to have to do to get a guy to go to a team that's, you know, been so bad the last two years? Well, it's so hard about all this. Well, it's obviously going to cost you a lot more money than it would with someone else. Now, I don't know if you're, he's 27 years old. So is he necessarily ring chasing?

24:47I don't think so. Like Joel but Tony, if he were not going to play for the Browns, he's going to play for a Super Bowl contender. That's how that's going to work. I know that the Patriot apparently, and I've just been reading around some of the stuff on the internet. You know, there are teams that apparently we, apparently would like to have a conversation with Joel. At some point here shortly and see whether or not he'd like to come back and play in the NFL and kick the tires, including obviously the Cleveland Browns. So there's a lot of ins and outs and what have you there. This is part of what happens when you aren't able to replenish to the draft. I think some of it, and some of it you've been snake bitten by, even though I, I just don't think that there's very much of an excuse whatsoever. When you got to Juan Jones who got hurt, why did you draft to Juan Jones? Well, you wanted to Juan Jones because of that. You wanted to Juan Jones because eventually he was going to, you were going to try to replace your own first round pick. And Jed Will's with the Juan Jones. And it just has to go on that way because Dewan who had a nice rookie season has just been hurt these three years. And so you have to probably move on in other ways to find some stability there at either tackle position.

25:48I mean, it's all up for debate right now, where yeah, you could justify, I mean, seriously, you could justify going out there and breaking the bank on Tyler Linda Baum and Chris Paul and a lot of other guys because you just need so much. You've already made the trade for Tyler's Howard. Do you think there's an element of the fan base that is like, hey, maybe this is the time to have to go musical chairs at offensive line because you don't have your quarterback situation settled. When you got people like me screaming every day, get your quarterback situation settled and everything else will come and everything else will kind of figure itself out after that. That's kind of what happened with Drake May with New England. But obviously it doesn't always work out like it does there. You get to the Super Bowl in year two. Despite the fact that you had such a flawed roster just the year prior. Where are people on that? Like, eh, that's fine. Figure out the offensive line they should and then go worry about the quarterback following you. This episode is brought to you by Progressive. Most of you aren't just listening right now.

So level up your grill game and your outdoor chill game. And head to Wayfair.com to get your outdoor space ready for the season. Wayfair every style, every home. I think I find myself in that camp. Like just because- So because he may go to your offensive line, so bad strategically, that Andrew Berry did not have the foresight to realize they were going to have to overall the entire thing, we're going to have to put quarterback of another whole year because of that. But if I can't find, see, I find myself stuck in the spot. If there was a quarterback that I was really passionate about, go out and get that quarterback. I'm not very passionate about most quarterbacks that are better. I get passionate arguments about them, but I'm not passionate like they got to come here and they got to fix it. I got to do something to improve my team.

30:54So if I cannot necessarily make the right investment for quarterback that I want to make long-term, I still got to make them better. I still got to put somebody in front of- Whether you like shoe door sanders or not like shoe door sanders or Watson or not, or Dylan Gabriel, even though Mary K says they're going to try to trade them, I don't know what they're going to try to trade them for. Whether you're going to try to trade them or what? Like you still have to put an offensive line up there to try to protect the guy. You still have to try to put your best foot forward there or just don't draft them, just don't just don't trade for them. I don't know who you're going to put there, but you can't put anybody out. So if I can't make the quarterback better, I'll just sit on my thumbs and wait for my offense to suck even worse. I got to make a move because if it comes to Chris Paul, you would say Chris Paul is 27 years old. Chris Paul would be a guy that you would hope is a guard for you for a decent amount of time. You're hoping the next four years of he's 27 years old. How old's Tyler Lindembaum for that matter? Now Lindembaum's an interesting case because he's a very good center for the Ravens.

31:56And according to what Albert had said, Lindembaum's camp is shooting for $25 million per year, which would be a 30, 38% increase on the 18 million per year that Chief Center Creed Humphrey just got in 2024 to become the NFL's highest paid center. I mean, that's a huge amount. So you're looking at, it says one, one example was the chargers whose GM Joe Hortes was in Baltimore when Lindembaum was drafted. Sonny Commanders, Tyler Beatis, two a three year 30 million dollar deal after Bradley Boseman and retired. I mean, we're getting into numbers and all the other things that go into that. It's you got guys who have a certain set of skills. I hate to take it from a movie here and you need them. They got them. How much you want to pay for it? If Tyler Lindembaum, which I think that center is probably the most underrated position in all football. Well, I'm still stunned that Ravens aren't. I know Jeremy Fowler had a report yesterday that they're still doing everything they can to keep me to.

32:58I am surprised as well. I can't like I just said with the cap going up for everybody. Like that should have been music to the ears of any Ravens fans. Like, oh, he good. Then we'll just keep our good player at a position where it's really hard. Look at how many teams right now are chasing a center driving up this price. Well, it's because what you have, what you have that guy, like good. That's salt. All right. We have them. How are you letting him get out of your, your, your reach? Because I'm thinking here and this is right off the top of my head here. So go with me for a moment. If you have, you, you're, you've already freed up some money because of the Shawn Watson's restructure and you'll be able to pay that down over time because the caps always going up about $20 million a year. So it's not as horrific as, as we all make it out to be. And this is probably the last time that that'll happen, right? They'll probably move on. They'll be post June 1st, the whole thing. Next year, I should say, then you have a rookie quarterback or excuse me, a second year quarterback, you should know Sanders who's still going to be relatively cheap. You might have a rookie quarterback that comes in here that's going to be relatively cheap.

34:00I don't think that either Kyler Murray or any one of the big names is really going to come flying to you for their chance at, at retribution in the NFL. So I think your quarterback options are relatively low paying. So if you have a chance to go out and make a splash for one of these offensive linemen, making a splash is a terrible point of words because you're trying to just, to say make a splash, you're trying to get people's attention. But if I can lock up some guys with the linemen, then I think I can afford it. And then in four or five years, while we are hopefully drafting guys to replace the guys we're talking about right now, which is an insane thing to say, we're hopefully drafting guys that can replace Chris Paul or possibly step in for Tyler Lindobom or something like now. Lindobom seems to be a pie in this guy idea. So let's just put that there. But like say you're drafting a guy who can replace Chris Paul or Titus Howard for that matter. A guy you've already traded for and should be official later this week, right? If you're able to do something like that, then you're better, but I still am going on a cheap quarterback option. So who do I have to pay coming up?

35:00I mean, there's names that are there, but it's not like this great big contract that we're waiting to see who we can pay. That stops everything else. Is there anybody else I can't think of? Like I know you got Devon Bush. Devon Bush is going to break the bank as he hits free agency. There's not a whole lot else that you can think of that's going to. I mean Carson Swessinger here by the end of next year, you're thin by the end of 2027. You're thinking about doing a deal because he's a second round pick. So you have that coming up, but he's an off-ball linebacker, which I think is improving an importance in the NFL, but it still isn't something that's going to set you back too far. I know we got dummy years at the end of 10th award or whatever that means. So I don't know if it's that big of a thing. So yeah, if you can go out and get your quarterback, I'm not trying to say pun on everything here. But if you can go out and help your offensive line, if there's no quarterbacks out there, I can damn it. I got to do something. It might suck that we have a quarterback who's terrible, and they got to play behind it. What hopefully will be a better offensive line. But, you know, them's the breaks. It's just one less excuse for whoever ends up playing QB for the Bronx

36:02so we can figure out what to do in the future. 216474 to below 92. All right. We'll hop back into this. How aggressive should we be when it comes to this offensive line? Or since we don't know what our quarterback situation is, who really cares? And we got a sinkhole in downtown Cleveland. What you need to know. And also, yeah, the interesting trades are being brought up all over again. Brom's news all day long. Make sure you're here in 92.3, the fan 92.3, the fan.com, as well as YouTube Live. Tampering starts at noon. Rumors could come out at any time. There's some other interesting tidbits here from Albert's article. The money morning quarterback I want to get to here momentarily. However, with that tampering starting at noon, we'll get to all of that. But we do have a massive sinkhole in downtown Cleveland. Cleveland, this is over at West 3rd in West St. Clair, writing down time. I think that's right on the way in as you start to make the justice center. Oh, right by the justice set. Okay. So we have this is audio of somebody who pulled somebody out of the sink holes

37:09from Channel 19. Holy wow. They were there like right after it happened. All right, let it ride. It was a terrifying moment for one man here in Cleveland this morning. He did not want to be on camera, but here's what he tells me he says he was driving here along St. Clair Avenue when he got to the intersection of West 3rd Street. He ran into this sink hole. Thankfully with the help of one woman, he climbs out of his driver's seats and to safety. Climbing down the street right here and I seen this car go over boom like that and he was stuck. He couldn't get out the car. The car was stuck on the hump right there and I was able to open up his door and get him out the car. Meet Latonya Langford. She helped save this man. She says her first thought was to keep him calm. That's time I said, don't move. Just stay right here. Langford says after helping this man to safety, she quickly alerted police and deputies about his car in the sink hole just outside the justice center. But somehow the man's car still runs even after being pulled from

38:09the home. The driver did not want to speak on camera. However, he tells 19 news. He says 72 years old. It appears to be okay. Langford was the emotional one. And I see some tears coming down your face. Are you going to emotional right now? Yeah. Yeah, because he was stuck and that could have been my father, my grandfather or anybody else. So I didn't mind helping him. Got some guy sent me here at the right time at the right reason to help somebody and I was able to help. And downtown Cleveland, no wild Williams, 19 news. Audio courtesy in 19. Oh my God. 72 and he survives the sink hole. It is horrific. It was and they show the video of the tow truck actually pulling the car out. There was a giant hump. And I don't if he didn't hit the hump and kind of like, you know, center point in his car. He probably goes into the God. It was big. Apparently according to AI, which is never wrong. When acidic groundwater dissolves, soluble bedrock like limestone, dolomite, not that dolomite, fabulous. Or gypsum underground creating cavities, it, it invoids. Gypsum.

39:14Damn near kill them. In this case did. Yes. This case nearly did. And then what's down there? What have you, what have you thought are their underground tunnels that get you into the old subways system by the justice center? So who knows? Who knows what's down there? Andy new frames down there going, Oh, this is my big break. It's an old underground civilization. A Cleveland. Here's more audio courtesy in news five. These are bystanders who see it now. Okay, here we go from this morning. A tow truck was able to remove the car from the hole and the owner was able to drive away in the vehicle. No injuries were reported, but it was a shocking scene for people walking nearby. It looks like just kind of this area of the street is a pretty patched over several times. So that's not that surprising that that happened here, I guess, but it looks a bit large enough for an entire car to fall into it. Okay, first thing is the car still runs. Oh, yeah. Yeah. The car still runs. A minute they pulled it out. It gets into that sucker. It takes off. I'm not going to be on camera. I got to get out of here. I got to get out. I'm not supposed to be here.

40:16Second thing is the woman does sound like it's the perfect texture for running woman who falls on her ass while running. That's what that reminded me of the woman who is running on the snow. I think you might need to see that video. Alright, so we have car-sized sinkholes that could be the new model. New bumper sinker. This thing looks like it's three life state of our city is strong and we're just getting started. Imagine how much you're paid for parking now to fix that. Well, you're always wondering, like, you see this happen all over the country every time it's a national story, a sinkhole in golf. Sometimes it's two cars at an intersection. And you're always wondering, how is that just not happening all the time then? If it happens in one spot, how is it not ready to happen? I just think it happens more often than we think. Oh, you're talking about all over the city. What I mean is if the conditions were just right for that to happen there, how is it not happening right over here and right over here? And how does the whole city not collapse? I wish I could tell you. I guess they're going to have to check. Yeah. So if the rain up the take away from this is how does our whole city not collapse? It's not happening

41:19all the time. The rains coming down on the street, right? That's how it works. Okay, but if it's coming down on the building, you said, ain't going down right to the street. So the building should be relatively, you know, sort of, okay, I'm not sure. Listen, I'm not an architect here and I'm, you know, I'm sure as hell, not anything else when it comes to it. But when it's coming down right on the street, well, I'm guessing over 40, 50, 60, 70 years. I mean, those streets are those streets. And yes, sinkhole might be created somewhere. That's got terrifying. Yeah. It's horrifically terrifying. Yes, it's scary. So I'm glad that so did they have to come out to do the engineers or the people involved with the roads to come out and make a statement and say, hey, these other streets right around where that sinkhole occurred are going to be okay to drive. Have they given the go ahead? I think they should. I think some should be said, right? Normally, they just slapped giant metal plates over the thing and I have to drive over it for a year. But okay, maybe a little do that here. We'll see where it goes. It's a story. We'll continue the monitor. I do want to notice though, if your car falls in it, no, no kid,

42:23then you need to monitor it very closely. Dr. John Steinbrenner, Steinbrecker, the American conference will join us. It's going to be a problem for the Mac tournament coming up at night. All these Miami fans are going to come in. It's, well, it's not by the rock at arena. So at least, you know, yet that going for you. However, a couple of things from opposite wrestlers, the various ways start stomping through here first. They actually have a sinkhole. First thing is is that you are in the, you are in the running for a guy named Chris Paul. And I know a lot of bronze fans don't know who that is. I use a pretty good guard over this last year. Just started starting this last year. Like that's kind of who's in the market out there for you. There's also Tyler Lindobom where there's some, there it's been mentioned by I think some bronze fans and some brown sites. It hasn't actually been mentioned with a lot of folks. You will definitely have to overpay for him. One of the other things that Albert did write about, and again, he'll join afternoon drive coming up tomorrow afternoon. He joined, he joins them on Tuesdays. Malik Willis, Oli, he rolling a roll about Arizona and Miami. There was nothing there about the Browns. Isaiah likely

43:25not mentioned to the Browns right now. And the other thing I think he wrote about was, oh, they're not, it has a right now. Any of the wide receivers that you've heard of, Browns are not linked to them. Does that say anything to you about what they could possibly do in the draft? Because it doesn't, to me, you got, you, you signed three offensive linemen. Say you trained it for once. Say you signed two offensive linemen. That still doesn't change a lot of what I'm thinking of what they might do in the draft. The other teams and where guys might fall to me might, it's still there's going to be some flexibility there. But I don't know if it changes that much of what I want to do in the draft real quick. Yeah. To me, they have to not only draft a wide receiver, but they also have to probably trade for another one, right? Don't they have to more than likely they can't go into the season no matter who it is. And I know we just talked about this with offensive linemen depending on where your quarterback situation is. You can't really go into the season. If you're trying to evaluate, should or if you're trying to, I don't think they're trying to evaluate, you know, Dishon, but whoever you end up bringing in, because we all think they're

44:27going to, they're, they're going to add to the quarterback room with one elder statesman or a veteran of some sort. If they, if they don't go after Malik Willis, they don't go after Anthony Richardson, they start to bring in another quarterback. No matter what you do, you have to bring in another wide receiver because you just don't do that. The minute you draft a quarterback or figure out your quarterback situation, like you'd like to get something started here with Todd Munkin, don't you? I would think so. I mean, you're not putting all your eggs in the Isaiah bond basket, are you? No, but I think that this would spell out again, the flexibility, what they have, I don't know what they exactly want to do, but it might spell out some flexibility, what they want to do with six, you know, depending on if they do go out and sign two more guys, maybe that shows them they would be willing to move down from number six and maybe go after something different or they might feel better about taking that wide receiver number six overall, whether it be Mackay Lemon, whether it be Carnell Tate, maybe if they drew address that offensive line, they know fans want to splash. I think they want to splash. I think Andrew Berry. I think he

45:33struggled a little bit with offensive lineman. He's done a little bit better maybe in some cases than what we want to realize with all with wide receivers. He hasn't done well, but he also hasn't used one with the first run pick. So there are mixes there, 216474 to below 92. All right, 722. A lot of people are asking about my pencil and whether or not I'm getting my eraser out when it comes to the Cleveland Cavaliers. We will address that this morning at 722 and whether or not I have to take a step back on where I think the calves are going to go this season and Andrew is not trading miles, but guys, you can't help but think about it.
