It's Thursday on afternoon drive. I mean, yeah, I'm not worried about that. You know, we focus on now. It's about what we got, what we can do now. It's not about what we were about in the future. In our past, you know, we're not worried about 24. We're not worried about last year. We're not playing. We're not worried about the preseason. Right now we gotta focus on just one of those. It's the Sean acting or was the Sean at the Browns done such a good job of making sure that he's windshield focused. He's only looking at what's in front of him, that he's erased. He's erased the comments that he made, and then he's erased actual game, where he looked about as bad as I've ever seen to Sean Watson play. And I've seen him play a lot of really bad football. There's no football you can play until Sunday that can change the narrative or change how you feel or how you felt. And so until then, yes, you should just go ahead and gaslight yourself. I have no problem with the Sean coming out and being like, oh, what Buffalo game? I am vehemently opposed at dogs having human first names. Okay, I gotta imagine the people who just oh, solely named their dogs, human names. He couldn't think of anything else. The least fun planet. Like you could take him to any of those different places that they have.

And they would be like, you guys got a dog museum around here? Anybody got any cool pennies? That's what they sound like. It's the afternoon drive with Nick Wilson and Jonathan Peterland on Cleveland Sports Radio, 92-3-The-Fan. The show is back Nick Wilson, Jonathan Peterland. We are with you for the next five hours and football is king and we go from the first step of football being back, which is saying thank God football is back to the second stage, which is complaining the football wasn't good enough. But that open courtesy of Michael Markcatch on the board. Yes. I'm Michael Goodesia, the Ginger St of Cleveland Sports, holding things down on the board today. He'll be in with us late in the show for a new little locket in bit we're doing. Probably only do it once it might not work. It could be a real bleep show, but we'll find out about six o'clock tonight. Jake Murn, man in the 92-3-The-Fan YouTube channel and producing.

I see you, Donald. I see you, Chaser. Jim Eagle, Mickey Fitz, Kid Cowboy. I'm seeing the names there. Jim Eagle. Oh, Jim Eagle. Yeah, yeah, Ion's brother. Yeah, he's an accountant. Is that right? Noah's uncle's, I always call. Yeah, also has a rug. Yeah, well, that was unnecessary. 100% truth. Noah's hair. Get it together. That is as fake as anything I've ever seen. I'm sorry. You can't say that and then say Nick Wright's hair is real, which you've said multiple times to me. It's not real. It's not real. I mean, it's real in the fact that it is real. No, by the way, it's just a good rug. It's just a good rug. That's all I'm pretty sure Noah Eagles hair has an elevator on it. And it takes like three fours. That's how high it's. The grand bencing. He's basically Marge Simpson at this point. And then people, oh, no, this is normal. Yeah, of course, it's normal. You're still a grand bencing. Your hair goes seven feet high. That's natural. But you go ahead and follow 92 through the fans YouTube channel. Follow us all five hours long. Ring that bell, except you corn, Lido. Fuck it corn, Lido. And like our videos, we desperately like to be liked around these parts.

And Merit of Can on the 2020s there, you're welcome for bailing you out with the old McDonald reference there from the old McDonald's had a farm EI EI. I know. And on this farm, he had a hip. Yeah. And that one got topical. Got some X-rays and off site. Why are people so upset that they went off site for these X-rays? I don't know why people were so living about it. I just, I think the whole thing, I think the whole thing where we went from, thank God football's back to God, this game is boring. Well, it's to the cheese we have to watch Drew Valk play football. Okay, in fairness, and then Drew Valk played pretty good. But everyone said, take the under, everyone said, there's going to be a low scoring affair. And oh, by the way, it's a repeat of the worst super bowl we've had. It's been on the last five years. Just a board. I mean, again, congrats to Seattle. They won the darn thing. I'd love to win a boring Super Bowl. Hell, I'd take a boring playoff game at this point. I'll take any win that I can get in the post season. But like, the idea we couldn't even wait one day to be like, oh, this sucks. Turn it off.

Well, the game did get good. It just took until like four quarters. Yeah, just took a while. A while. And yeah, when you look up and you're like, I waited months on end for Drew Locke, that's this heartening. I'm not waiting to describe that just a disheartening practice. I'm buying into the Drew Locke rehab tour. When he's the brown, but then he actually played pretty decent. When he's the Browns veteran next year, as we get ready to start, well, you know, I get half a season of whatever quarterback you drafted on the first round. Get ready for Locke City, baby. We'll chase Daniels. You Missouri. I'm Missouri crime and break down his game. Our boss. No, no, no, no, the Missouri quarterback. Oh, oh, Diana. Diana. I haven't seen you in a while, Diana. Diana, are you selling your tele? Diana, where you been? Where you going? Also, this is going to be the most random first part of the opening show ever. People who were a guest at the idea, the Diana Rossini has rebuffed every offer from TV cruise to tell her story and that she's using her story, her side of the variable affair

or alleged affair to help sweeten the pot for her next job. Apparently, don't realize Diana Rossini might be the smartest person on the planet. That's a brilliant move by Diana Rossini. She knows how the game works. Is she going to go on a good morning America and give it to them for free? And how the hell? How the hell does she continue to get more scorn from people trying to recover a career? When Mike Vrable lets Chex notes, lost nothing and tried to hold a puppy hostage to get people to like him at the beginning of training. What's tough is that now when Aaron Rogers is one of your biggest defenders in life, you might have to reevaluate who the people are that are defending you. Diana. Diana, I also slept with Mike Vrable. Diana. Now that's a different story. Yeah. That's a breakdown I don't need. That's a show on like Fubo. Come on now. Now they're trying to break into that sports content. Look coach on quarterback. I'm just saying. I'll write that. I'll write that erotic novel if you want me to. I don't want you to. I'm just saying if you want me to, if people were asking for it, nobody's asking for that. And there was like a million to two million dollars to sell that.

Nobody's asking for that. I'll pitch it. No. I'll pitch it like a, oh a sunshine and remember the Titans. I'll hit that pitch every time. I did laugh a lot when Mike Tom would just kept calling JSN, JNS. Yeah. It was, is he going to do this all night? Does he? Is this an inside game for himself? I went, how long are you going to do this bit for? The best part of Mike Tomlin's debut, regular season debut was him like, yeah, last time I saw it to a tongue of I low, he was getting benched. Oh, he was nothing to the Steelers. I was like, he just, he just wanted to rain down on the idea that there's no chance to was going to be able to beep at Spurg, but it's nothing Mike McCarthy did. It's just that he stinks. I think I'm officially flip flopping. Mike Tomlin is awesome at this and I want him on everything. There's another thing weird divide on was Tomlin good last night was Tomlin bad last night. People couldn't make up their minds there either. That's good. That's where we like him. Your boy C.D. Carrington was all about the idea that Tomlin just flat out sucked. I mean, outside of getting the names wrong, I thought at least he was a friend of breath of fresh air. And he's, he's unafraid to say things. Mike Tomlin does not care.

We watch JSN Garrett be in that spot for years on end. You're telling me that wasn't more interesting than JSN Garrett? Also, we saw both of them dance on TikTok and spoiler alert here. JSN Garrett got, he got no flavor. He's got not Maria Taylor had some sway there. Mike Tomlin had some sway. Whatever other quarterback was on that panel had some sway. JSN Garrett, no flavor. I interviewed with for you because for you, I was his coworker now and he was asking him like, did you, did you feel like Tomlin's like, did you actually have fun with that stuff? Is he or is he just kind of like, Hey, Mike, we'd love to have you come over here and do this TikTok. We got a couple of seconds. Apparently, he was loving it. Yeah. He was really good at dancing. He was really good at dancing. He could actually had a fun time with all this, which is a little scary by the way. If you're thinking about the prospect of Mike Tomlin becoming an NFL head coach again, because this might be the bill, coward thing. Once you get behind that desk, you can even talk about wanting to go ahead and be a coach all day. Once you get behind that desk, it becomes real comfortable. Making the same money to hang out on TV for 25 years instead.

Making the same money to hang out and talk football once or twice a week and then just go home and like enjoy your family. As like the grind that is NFL head coaching, I get it. Well, I get his family, how this season ended last year with his family. I don't know that he was doing a lot of the joining with his family. But he's definitely enjoying something. You brought up a quarterback head coach sex scene that you want to write, but like I'm the problem in this scenario. I'm trying to get you and me to TV startup. That's what I'm now. You and I are the show runners. We're like to ban you off on the other guy. Yeah, right about the Tomlin family drama. I'm sure that that a place is that would go ahead. Mike Tomlin scares me. I got beat my ass seven away from Sunday. But obviously we got to get going about the Browns Jack wires and continue to hear how mad Browns fans are about this game. The lack of buzz in the in like the conversations I'm having about this. Again, I'm being accused of being the old time homer for saying the Browns could win. I'm not saying I wouldn't play it myself if it put in your shoes.

Okay. But I am saying I as an observer of how you've been moving for the past couple months. I don't like this take in particular. I do have a back injury right now. So that's infecting how I'm moving only because you can't be the guy that says I'm going to call you when the Browns achieve X Y and Z and also be the guy like it's only eight nine. Well, no, no, it's not a big. It's not a big record. I'm not saying 13 and four. I'm not saying 14 and three. I'm just saying eight nine. You can't live in both worlds in my mind where you get to call you have a list of people you want to call up and what order you want to call them up like she moves. Like, yeah, the Browns actually achieve what you say they're going to achieve. I just don't think you can have it both ways. I think I can. I think I can. And I think I will. I'm here. Namely, because again, I'm the boldest man in Cleveland sports media.

I don't think it's that bold. All things considered when more people than not are our pie, went on as we came on and said eight wins as well. She said eight wins was possible. She didn't say it was like nine. She said eight nine was her prediction. I don't remember that officially. Daniel Oyo, who see the ESPN Browns reporter said seven wins and walked that in yesterday. Like it's like it's becoming a very modest take at who started it. This guy. He's got followers on the big blog, right? Where they go through like, you know, deep sleepers and MVP candidates and Jeremy Fowler's out here saying, hey, I'm not saying they're a playoff team, but look out the Browns could surprise some people. Why? Because Nick Wilson has inspired people to look past this quarterback room and put them on the table. Actually, put them on the table. It's not where I put it on the table. Put it on the table. You can say it's put them on the table. No, also say I'm only saying eight nine and people are going to confuse because he knows what to put them on the table. Put them on the table. Put them on the table. Is putting it on the table. No, nine is not putting it on the table.

No, sir. What are you taking here? No, sir. No one was putting them on the table till Nikki Dubs was putting them on the table. It is the problem. You put them on the table. You're putting them on the table. You're putting them on the table. And then in the same place. Look at the people falling high. People are seeing the light. Like the morning show. They're like, oh, guys, I just, I mean, it's eight nine. I thought it was five or jellyfish. It's eight nine. Not 14 and real. They, they, they, they, they hear how that sounds busted like a terrible buffalo was the morning show today when I call them up at 645 right through it. I mean, just right through it. I thought it was going to a little pushback. Now they waited. They waited no one a half to give the pushback. Yeah. They had a really digest and sit on those terms and they'd say I'm going to go ahead and have something to say there. I mean, but you see, you see what I'm getting at here, right? You can't be the like, I'm out of this big bowl prediction guy and then turn around and be like, oh, eight nine is not 13 and four. Why are people losing their mind? No, the point is the by-wise people going crazy with this. People are acting like I'm saying Super Bowl Super Brown's 15 wins. Well, you're, you're keeping a list together of people you want to call up and say how right you were at the end of this.

Like you're like, you're giving, you're giving the impression of 13 and four and 14 and three. Well, then saying eight nine at the end of this. And it all comes back to one quarter back to Sean Watson more than anyone else. And it all comes back to a bunch of generic stuff that has, I don't want to say has nothing to do with this team, but it's, it's like, I understand that they're like last year. When I win it, a last year thinking that's a five win team, right? That this team could compete for the number one pick. The reason why I thought that is, all right, the defense is going to be great, but there's nothing on offense to really give you hope. Like if the offensive line was good, er, sorry, if what was the right tackle, Jack Conklin, if Jack Conklin can stay healthy, which we said for five years, the Browns actually have a plan this year on offense. It's not just, well, we'll bring back the old offensive line and we'll see if Jerry Judy can replicate what he did. Well, hey, maybe David and Jo Koo doesn't look like a left tackle these days. By the way, tight and three in Los Angeles. But no, like they actually have formulated an offensive plan and a defensive plan.

They've drafted very well on that side of the ball as well. The only thing they didn't account for is quarterback. And that's where it's bold. That's where it's born with a quarterback that I think nothing of on the field and nothing of. I would quarterback. I think nothing of I'm saying eight wins. I'm saying in the NFL, you can win in spite of your quarterback and go be a competitive team. I'm just saying if you're going to take it, I'm going to take it. If you're going to take it, I'm taking it. And then you're going to try to amplify your and tell me I'm not putting it on the table. You're going to act like it's bull when you're putting them on the table and all these people you want to call up after it happens. Then don't go to the morning show and say, I'm not saying 13 and four. I, well, you guys are the ones that are being crazy about it. I'm not saying 13 and four. I'm just saying a modest date and nine. I am on a mission to civilize. I mean, I just think that's I've got people that are on my side. As you see, we're coming from here. Does that make sense? What I'm saying is you want to go from I salute you. Jeremy Fowler, you're a gentleman in a skyline. Don't be scared of that. I get on that mic unless you want to go to downtown town like it's label and chased

in you. Don't be scared. Don't be a scaredy cat. Now, can you be a scaredy cat? Does that make sense? How do you, how do you, you know, chest puffed out? I, and would be like eight and nine is this grand thing. You've got to turn around when we get to week 17 in the Browns finish eight, nine, I agree with JP. Nick can't just be like, oh, it's just an eight, nine season watch. I agree. Watch me. Yeah. Nick can do the worst thing any of you can say is Nick can't do because Nick will do just a spite. Two and six, four, seven, four, double, nine, two. At Nick Wilson says at JP, her land on social media, social media reactions on ex powered by Shyman Jewelers, Cleveland's premier jewelry store. Am I putting them on the table for eight and nine? I'm just going to say there's a wave of people starting to catch that fever. They got a fever and the only cure is an eight wind. Brum season. I'm pretty sure that's how that went. That's, that's the bet. I'm pretty sure that's the slight paraphrasing. Quick hits coming up at 240, Lindsey wrote, Sumer sports at 320.

She's varying into the data and the analytics and the numbers and the what nots. We'll see if she agrees with the old eight and nine prediction there and Pete Futeck, college football news coming up at 420. We'll get his thoughts on Ohio State, Texas, a loaded weekend in college football and then we got lock it in. Mark Hodges going to help us out here. We're going to see if JP and I can actually agree on any of the games. It's a better version of the schedule game. Many people are saying the other ones played out. This one is very creative. Two and six, four, seven, four, double, nine, two. But if I put them on the table at eight and nine and who's coming with me? Come on. Let's get on the brand wagon. Not you JP. You sit your ass over there and crusty dusty, musty, six-win town. You ask, you ask crusty dusty, what was that? Musty. Musty town. Yeah. Is that the town I'm currently? Yeah, that's where you're at. Six-win town. Yeah. That's better than five-winville. Hey, at least if they've six wins happen. Half-four wins, Berg. I'll be able to sit back at the end of the end and be like, yeah, I did not, did not

tell anybody that it was going to be an awesome season, but also then saying just six wins. And when I do have my moment in the sun, you were going to be absolved because you're closer to me than you want to believe, but now you're also, you've made the list. You've made the list and I'll be talking to you about December 15th. We're going to have a little conversation here on air. Yeah. Mark got saved this in a lot of win teams and weapon win predictions. Those, you get to make lists. Eight and nine. Hey, maybe not so. Another one saying they're five and a half. Nobody's talking about the Browns Jacks game, but more on this. And Liam Cohen says his teams at a significant disadvantage. You're going to hear this in five minutes on 92-3, the fan.
