00:00Kenny, the reaction, crazy this morning.
00:04People feel they were lied to, especially one fan base in particular.
00:07They feel like Todd Munkin has compromised his integrity
00:12and has lost all credibility.
00:15You better get used to it, the NFL.
00:16What happened to straight shooting Todd?
00:20He has a chance to explain himself today, does he not?
00:24He will.
00:25We'll have it here.
00:26What time's the press conference?
00:28I'll have a chance to explain it right here on the fan.
00:30Will he not?
00:31Okay.
00:31So that's why you have to listen to the fan all day.
00:33And people are wondering, was this quarterback competition ever really a fair competition?
00:41They're going right back to last year in Kevin, when they felt like they were lied to.
00:49If Deshaun Watson goes out there, like say they go ahead and they start Deshaun Watson.
00:53You say you feel that some fans feel that they were lied to, even though they're probably
00:58not Browns fans because they probably don't really care.
00:59A hundred percent of Shador fans.
01:01So if they feel that they're lied to, first off, it's not like it's public policy.
01:05They can say whatever they want, whenever they want.
01:07The only time that you can really hold them accountable is when they go out there and play.
01:11If they play and they look terrible, if they play and they don't win, then we can hold
01:16them accountable.
01:16They can say whatever they want as long as they play and they win.
01:19If they win, again, what the things that Bill Belichick said or refused to say when they
01:28were winning championships with the Patriots compared to now with North Carolina is night
01:32and day.
01:33You win so much, you could say whatever you want.
01:36If you haven't won anything yet, well, you're going to answer for it.
01:39So if they go out there and Deshaun Watson throws three picks against the Jaguars and we
01:43get boat raised, well, guess what?
01:45Everybody has every single, you have a right to question anything you want at any time.
01:49But now you have smoke and guns to go after.
01:52Go, what was the process to any of this?
01:53What was your reason for any of this?
01:56Was it because you can do it this way?
01:58And this is what does follow around Todd Munkin.
02:00If this doesn't go well, if it doesn't go well and say Deshaun Watson plays poorly and
02:06Shador Sanders plays reasonably well or anything like that doesn't honestly, as long as they
02:11don't win, you can go, did you really know how to do this?
02:14Is this why you weren't a head coach for such a long time?
02:16Is this why the rest of the league passed up on you?
02:18Is this really the reason?
02:20Were you just too honest or did you really not know what you were doing?
02:24Like that can be thrown against them.
02:25But if they win, it's like, yeah, Todd Munkin knows what he's doing.
02:28Kevin, things that got out of hand with him, that's why he had to go.
02:30And we move on.
02:32Because if Deshaun Watson goes out there and throws three touchdowns and they beat
02:35Jacksonville, guess who can't bench anymore?
02:37Anybody who wanted Deshaun Watson to not start.
02:41And I guess I'm thrown into that mix, but I told you in January, I was willing to accept
02:47reality here.
02:50Silence fell over the room.
02:52I didn't want to like have this big stop, but you asked me if I care.
02:58And my answer is I should, but I don't because my quarterback is in college.
03:04I don't know which one.
03:06We'll find out as the year goes on.
03:08So how are you going to care about the season then?
03:11Oh, you can care about the season.
03:12I want them to win.
03:13That's always going to be the end.
03:14And if they don't win, I got to find out.
03:16I got to find out.
03:17Well, again, I think my quarterback's in college.
03:19You're not going to live and die with the games though.
03:21Just because you want them to win doesn't, like if you don't care about the quarterbacks
03:25that are currently on the roster at all, because you're quarterbacks in college,
03:28how are you going to care about the season?
03:30And then, of course, them winning games only hurts your chance to get the better quarterback
03:33in college.
03:34The whole process of them going out and getting it.
03:37These are great questions, by the way, because now you're putting me through the gymnastics
03:39of it, and I'm glad you do.
03:41You know, emotions are a tough thing to explain.
03:44I can't imagine I'm just going to sit there and not care in the middle of the third quarter
03:48if we get ourselves a lead and now we're trying to hold on to it.
03:51That is not going to happen.
03:52You know me very well.
03:53That is not going to happen.
03:54Fire up the Ken Carman film cruise if it's close late.
03:57I've told you guys before, you guys are true idiots when you guys bring that up.
04:02Take three.
04:03I've told you a million times before.
04:06Oh, it just did the director's cut.
04:09We're sliding.
04:11I don't need extra takes.
04:14Okay.
04:15Reaction to Browns, Jaguars, take four.
04:19You know, my son was conceived after that.
04:22So, you guys can't sit there and say that it was a fake reaction when my son was literally
04:27conceived right after that video.
04:30And you're missing your mark on the field goal make.
04:32Let's redo it.
04:33Wait, I should.
04:34I just heard somebody say lights, camera, action.
04:39Had Billy Cundiff missed that field goal, would Axel Carman be here?
04:422-1-6-4-7-4.
04:43Forever wonder.
04:47Billy Cundiff.
04:48I mean, if she wanted to, I wasn't going to turn it down and make the day even worse.
04:52Not what I have.
04:53But I think maybe Billy Cundiff should be excited that there's another person in the world because
05:00of him.
05:00Because of him hitting field goals.
05:02Anyway, back to what it is.
05:04Yeah, I care about him.
05:05I want the Browns to do well.
05:07But when they make the trade, guys, I'm not being a nihilist here.
05:11I just want to accept reality.
05:14And the sooner I accept reality, the better I will be emotionally and the better I will
05:19be mentally.
05:20When they made that trade, that's the reality of it.
05:24And so it makes me, it does, when they make the trade, it's like, well, what am I holding
05:27on to with Watson?
05:28Let's put Shador Sanders out there.
05:30But if you can't grab the reins against Deshaun Watson, then why am I going to get red-faced
05:37and mad?
05:37The job's there for you.
05:39The money's paid to the guy.
05:41They really couldn't cut the guy because it's hard to field a football team with how they
05:44were.
05:45You want to make this done?
05:46Fine.
05:47You have every opportunity.
05:48If you can't seize that opportunity with a new head coach and all that other stuff,
05:52I don't think that they're keeping Shador Sanders on the roster to punish him or anything
05:57like that.
05:57But if you can't do it against a guy that fans do not want to see, I can't keep making
06:04up different conspiracies about it.
06:06Maybe you're just not cut out to be a starting quarterback in the NFL.
06:10Buddy, that's the only thing I can say.
06:12And I hate saying that because I wanted him to play.
06:15But if he can't do it, he can't do it.
06:18Look, I can accept this.
06:21Why can't others?
06:24I'll accept it.
06:25If he goes out there and he plays poorly, fine, hammer him for it.
06:28If he goes out there and plays well, then Todd Munkin's a genius.
06:30Nobody wanted this guy to play.
06:32Todd Munkin decided to find it.
06:33Todd Munkin used him the best, and look, now you're finally reaping the rewards.
06:37It comes up with a totally different set of conversation after, but we'll talk about
06:40that probably never because it's probably very unrealistic.
06:42Like, that's where we're at.
06:44Like, it's not like you're trying to beat out Mahomes here.
06:48This guy, he's 31st in those Sando tiers, which are not done by Mike Sando, which are done
06:53by the rest of the NFL.
06:55You don't have a big mountain to climb here.
06:57If you can't climb that mountain, like, and people, well, and I'm getting the arguments
07:03already about carrying water for Jimmy Haslam because I continue to say that they don't
07:09want to upset the fan base.
07:10It's not their goal to just play Deshaun Watson over the money that's paid to Deshaun Watson.
07:14I cannot be more clear, and you've actually agreed with me on that.
07:17I don't think they go out trying to upset Shador Sanders fans or upset Browns fans by
07:23playing Deshaun Watson, but you want them to have patience.
07:27You want them to give power to power that's there.
07:31You want them to let the people who they put in charge to be in charge of those things.
07:35Yeah, I think they're putting Todd Munkin in charge of these things, and I think that
07:38this will end up being a Todd Munkin decision, and that's going to be a very hard thing for
07:41fans to grasp, for Shador's fans to grasp.
07:45But I've been a Browns fan, and I'm going to be a Browns fan, and it's not very hard
07:49for me to understand.
07:52You wanted it this way.
07:53You got it this way.
07:55If it were Kevin, maybe things would have been the status quo.
07:58Champions pose on that one now, don't I?
08:00So if it's Todd making the decision and Todd makes the decision, yeah, if Deshaun Watson
08:05goes out there and sucks, hammer him all you want for it.
08:09But Deshaun Watson goes out there and looks like a modicum of a quarterback in the NFL compared
08:14to what the other guy maybe couldn't have done, then yeah, fine.
08:16And by the way, they probably won't be good enough.
08:19Both will get the play, like Ian Rappaport said, like Mike Garofalo said, like everybody
08:22has said.
08:24So he will get the chance.
08:25And I do believe it's easier to start with Deshaun Watson as starting quarterback and
08:29bring in Shador than vice versa for everybody's emotions and mental health.
08:33I agree.
08:33I agree.
08:34I agree.
