Every Cleveland Browns fan should read the OBR Daily Newswire, simply for the amount of nonsense I save you from – endless paywalled articles that you don’t know are paywalled until you click on them, wade through a full-page pop-up and then see the subscription pitch… “Exclusive” interviews that aren’t… misleadingly-titled regurgitated articles, and more.

Just let the patented Barry Filter ™ weed out all of the nonsense and focus on the truly important stuff, with paywalls largely lifted out of the way (even our own) and the focus placed on new stuff rather than recycled information and with all the cruft swept aside. I honestly don’t know why every Browns fan doesn’t start their day with this. Maybe it’s the fact that I fill it with my biased opinions and crap that people don’t want to read. Nah.

Pro Football Network is out there, pumping out dozens of stories a day, and occasionally dipping into the “fan reaction” realm on big stories. Such is what they’re doing today with this story on fan reaction to yesterday’s story on the Steelers organization’s disinclination to bring in a hotshot new quarterback to face off against Kenny Pickett and Mason Rudolph.

I’m here to point out to the Steelers organization that they’ve been very successful over the years and should certainly not listen to these ignorant fans. After all, you’re the Steelers, possessing winning season after winning season. Truly a legacy that shows your decision-making acumen and a total lack of any need to listen to bozos on social media blathering on about how Kenny Pickett sucks. Stick to your guns, fellas. You know what’s what.

NFL players are like meteors streaking across the sky. Mostly, their time drawing the eyes’ attention is short, but they can make a heck of an impact during that time. It doesn’t take much, as Dorian Thompson-Robinson showed in this story from January about a gesture that meant a lot to a Westlake man who had battled against congenital heart disease. Here is the story on FOX 8

Today’s show starts with Jake and Andrew sharing some banter on the misconceptions of the All-Star game across the major US Sports and if there is a path to fixing them, then they close the opener with two questions unanswered from the Weekend Mailbag. The duo then shifts to another of the 2023 positional reviews with the defensive tackle position. They assign grades for collective performance, who stays/leaves in 2024, and the position’s best “path to improvement” including free agency and draft angles early in the off-season process. This discussion is all about the improvement of the group from 2022 to 2023 and if there is a need for heavier investment come next season.
