:19 - Losing to Brandon Allen and the Denver Broncos is bad. But the Browns have now gone off the rails, from their receivers wearing the wrong cleats, their quarterback can’t hit the open players, and a defensive player threatens people on social media.

:19 - Ten years ago today, Ray had to leave this morning show early as his twins were about to be born. They were severely underweight and at high risk, and they had to remain in the hospital for nearly two months, but they finally came home and are now healthy and active 10 year olds. Ray reminisced over that day, and he thanked the folks at Summa for all of their help in the delivery process.
9:47 - It was bound to happen at some point, as NCAA players may be receiving a stipend for their likenesses being used. Ray, Tony, and Jeanne discussed this subject, which isn’t as cut-and-dry, black-and-white as many may think.

:19 - Progressive Field is getting some accolades as being the best ballpark in baseball. While other ballparks may have nicer or more updated facilities (PNC Park in Pittsburgh, Petco Park in San Diego, etc.), the criteria is that Progressive Field offers more in-game entertainment and food options for the new sports fan.
9:08 - The panel got into a discussion on alternative Democrat candidates for president, if the current slate does not appeal to many. Those candidates are Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and US Senator Sherrod Brown. Conversely, is President Trump an outlier for the Republican Party or will he be the standard post-2020 and maybe 2024?
18:22 - Speaking of Senator Brown, he joined Ray on the show to dispel any rumor that he wants to run for president. He also touched on jobs heading overseas and the situation in Syria and Turkey.

8:38 - Odell Beckham Jr. is back in the news, and again, it’s not what he’s doing on the field. Well, technically it is, as he was fined over $14,000 for having his pant legs hiked up too high above the knees. Really. The panel, which included Kris Drew, discussed it, and Kris mentioned how he believes Baker Mayfield and OBJ are a bad fit and why Freddie Kitchens isn’t the answer at head coach.
16:23 - ‘80s hair metal will grace the stage at the Akron Civic Theatre on Thursday, as Dokken and Lita Ford will blow the roof off the place (hopefully not literally). Lita Ford joined Tony for a nice conversation about nostalgia and hearing hard rock music at grocery stores.
