About this episode

Anthony Lima brings a few things to the table that spark plenty of discussion. He starts with the recent contract restructures for Deshaun Watson and Denzel Ward, which leads to a spirited debate about Andrew Berry’s track record as Browns GM. The conversation even drifts into a comparison between Berry’s tenure and Joe Banner’s time in Cleveland. From there, Lima shifts gears to talk about the upcoming MAC basketball tournament before wrapping things up by giving a shoutout to his wife, Sara, for taking first place in a half marathon in Sarasota.

2:01Or does lime a no like? Like, like, like. Comey likey. I'm liking it. I like it a lot. No like, I don't like. Doesn't like. I don't like you either. You're talking I hate it. Like a no like, no like, no like. But I definitely knew what I liked, and I definitely knew what I didn't like. Oh, you know, I love some salary cap housekeeping folks. I'm alive. Your Cleveland Browns have done some restructuring of the contracts. Andrew Berry has done it again. The genius has pulled it off because he did not only the restructuring of the Sean Watson's number, but also I'm alive. Denzel war ladies and gentlemen restructured contract as well converting 2.5 million of 2026 league year roster bonus to signing bonus for salary cap purposes

3:01adding 20 30 avoidable year. So Watson restructured to allow them to, you know, put a actual NFL roster together, which they had to do and had some urgency to do. And Denzel Ward Kenny are the Browns playing chess while everybody else plays checkers. No, everybody else is playing chess too. They're probably just playing chess better than you. Everybody's playing chess. If anybody's playing checkers, you're probably one playing checkers. I mean, if you were any one of these other teams going, oh, yeah, you're going to restructure the contract of the guy your fans don't want to watch. Oh, yeah, you're playing chess, all right. We're just playing shoots of ladders, huh? But what kind of checkers are we playing? Yeah, the Siox and John Schneider are playing hungry, hungry at post. Yeah, isn't it amazing though, that this cap, I mean, this is what it, what it really means is the bet that the Browns have always made. The Patriots are playing, don't wake daddy. The bet is good game. The Browns have always made is that they're going to be able to withstand the enormity of a contract in which,

4:02even if, if I think is if, even if Watson would have been really good, they still would have restructured. It just so happens that not only have they not really had the full use of Watson, he's also been bad when they've used him, which actually might mean, hey, oh, it's good that he hasn't really played that much because he's been so bad when he's played, but that the salary cap has gone up $100 million in five seasons. That is what is staggering to me with all of the minutia. You can get down in the way he needs on the salary cap, but it's gone up 100 million, so it's gone up for everybody. I tried to think of something because it's, and it was nothing, but basically sports talk, jargon that we couldn't get into on Friday, because that's all what had been when Darryl was with us going, like, hey, they were about to restructure the contract, they restructure the contract. And I had Darryl explain it all. It's like, hey, this really isn't the type of knock that you think it's going to be. Eventually, as time goes on, because if it's going up 20, 25 million every single year, that's not really the hammer that you think you're going to have to pay for it.

5:02Now, did I see the $1.2 year had like $90 million? I need that. I don't worry about that. I don't worry about that. I'll talk about that one. Where does that go? How does that all get, where do I talk about that? How does that get baked down? Is that ever real? We'll figure that out like this. That's a war to get $99 million at some point here. You don't want to talk about that at parties. I think it's very, very, very deep. Well, I think everybody would just look at me going, yeah, how do they do it? I don't know. Just sitting there holding a drink and I just walk out of the room. Walk out of the room. Like, you guys take care of it. It's like when I fart and leave a party. I know there's one guy, Joe Banner. Joe Banner says every time that this is, this is going to ruin the Browns. And I'm like, well, they, they see better. Yeah, Joe Banner didn't do enough to ruin the Browns in his own right. Well, I got to tell you now you got me going and I'm ready. We're already bad. What, what is it better? I guess Andrew Barry is Gilbrand, Howie Roseman, John Schneider, Les Sneed, Bill Pollyon in Tom Donnelly, any great general manager wrapped up into one compared to Joe Banner.

6:03I want Joe Banner. I wouldn't want Joe Banner near my youth football team, let alone an NFL football team. I've been here a year, too long, too damn long. Banner, I think his claim to fame. Did he get enough savings in the year? Banner year for the Cleveland Marguerite. I think his claim to fame is that they renovated the stadium. That's what he was here for. I don't think he did really had anything to do with the team. What, he didn't? Oh, you want to go ask Zach Jackson, what he had to do with the team? Do what I mean is, when, go ask Zach. What I mean is when a GM is in one place for one year in their rebuilding, how can you even measure whether the guy was good? Anthony picked a guy out of the magazine. Anthony, he fired the head coach and told the owner that he was going to go get him Jim Harboh. Well, who is the coach that he fired? The coach that he fired was Rob Chitsinski. Oh, me was Rob any good? Like that's what I mean. I think you're wasn't not was he was here? Was he not part of the group that had Chip Kellyanne wind him and dined him for a whole day? There had to be multiple meals. And then he just said, thanks, but no, thanks. What I'm saying is, when you're rebuilding and you've been doing Banner. No, it's not to fend him. It's just like, I don't know what to say about him. He was here one year and Banner over here. And any GM that comes in for the Browns,

7:04it's trying to remake the whole thing. What if you get one year, probably going to fail. And it failed just like Andrew Barry's been a failure. A colossal. You really wanted to give him more time? You want to give Joe Banner more time? I don't know what they would have done. I've no idea. It's a weird thing to even talk about. I think the judging from what we can judge over the year. He's probably bad. Just like Andrew Barry has been bad. We're going to happen. The good thing is that I still rather have Andrew Barry until the day my time instead of Joe Banner. My point is that they should have moved on from Andrew Barry already. We would have been better off. They moved on from Joe Banner. Yeah, but guys really bad move on from the problem is we still have Andrew Barry, who's been a failure. So I think that's the issue. The thing is, when you have a failure and he's been here six years, and now you're signing up for year seven of the failure, what do you think you're going to get? And that's how probably Joe Banner was. I do rather have year seven of the failure. Probably in the previous time. I'm not having much fun talking about a Browns team that's really bad the last two years. Meanwhile, I don't have a play, don't make daddy. This is amazing, I'm sorry. Ladies and gentlemen, we have an unbeaten basketball team in the state of Ohio.

8:05And they were electric in a close game, 110, 108, overtime win over OU on Friday night. What does it mean? La-la-la. The Mac tournament is going to be front and centered. We said they had already sold out the club seats for the championship game. And they're very close to the semi-finals. And I wonder what that place is going to look like all week long in Cleveland. It is going to be awesome as Miami comes in. Not only the talk of the NCAA, they're 31 and O. And they've even got some of their biggest haters backtracking. Listen to Bruce Pearl on CBS. I got Miami Ohio. It delete the Mac. Oh, okay, they may not be the best team in the Mac. It might be Akron, it might be the Zips. Five years in a row, they've won 22 plus games. John Gross, a coach that you got a great, great history. Yes, they've had a hard time. They play fast, they're God oriented. I'm rooting for Akron to make the upset. That way two teams get the answer that we turn it out

9:05of the Mac. You're putting Miami Ohio. I'm putting my hand out of the Mac. There it is. Weird way to backtrack by basically talking up Akron. So they weren't the best team in their own garden. But he says they're getting in. Is it true that Akron is the favorite? They come out of the Mac this way. That is the best. What do you think about that? That's good Bolton board material from Mr. Steele's basketball team. I'm very intrigued by this. Now you know I'm an Akron guy. Do I? I'm an Akron guy. But I believe in Midwest excellence and exceptionalism. And I believe that I want the very best for the Mac. And if Miami actually weren't to make the NCAA tournament, I think that's very bad for the future of the Mac. Dr. John Steinbricker will answer that question from with us coming up at nine o'clock this morning. And you've got all the Ohio teams that are going to be here this week. That is good news for the Mac. Or one final note. I'm a liar. We have a new winner. Can I know you were watching very closely to the second annual Sarasota sun coast half marathon in 5K.

10:08The female winner and second overall. Here it is. So raw female athlete coming in the home stretch here. Congratulations. Second overall male and third overall athlete. Now with our champion female Sarah Lima. Congratulations Sarah Lima. Champion of today's female division. Nice job, Sarah Lima. Lima time. Believe it. Slima. You asked out of state. Whoever that guy is. No, I'm kidding. I don't know. She was. I called you leave me before I met you. Now, look, was this was this the biggest field? Was this the best baddest field you could assemble down? It should be a big. I don't care. I've no runner. Now did the. They should be there. Sarasota female runner. Wake up that morning and go. I'm about to win this thing and then realize. Oh, wait a minute. There's an out of town or there's an out of state. That's come into me as it running. Yeah, I think it was like some 21 year old girl who runs down. There is one of the colleges. Sarah beat her, but. I the important thing was Saras getting ready.

11:09What really matters is gonna be the Cleveland marathon. That's a big one. Any obviously. Anybody, they're gonna handle Cleveland this year, right. It is gonna be in Cleveland. I'll be MC in. Well, you got to have. You gotta redo the route. You gotta scroll down. You got to sink down. A down down becomes a cross country, man. I'm the end of guts. Oh, we, we, we, the, the agro crab. Yes. In the middle of downtown. Please be like Michael Malley for this. And they're going to be giving away the special, uh, pair of BK diamond cells, uh, for the winner. Those are good. Those are good. What was the binoculars for? They always used to give away the bush. Nells the bush. Nells. Yes. Boy, kids love their binoculars. So stay get older for all. For Sarah not bad for what was just supposed to be a casual. Oh, it was amazing. Warm up run. I thought it was amazing. I, I made second amongst the man or third amongst the men. This second guy beat her at the very end, cracked her down. I didn't think, I really didn't think she'd win. And then when she did win, I go, man, if you like, take it seriously down there, she signed up for it like on when spring is here.
