Episode 163 - "The Scramble", And The Biggest Concern In Having A Real Bad Case Of Browns Fever Defend Cleveland Podcast

    • Sports

DC’s Mike James and Mollie Ames discuss:
All terrestrial segments were recorded live on January 17th (Day 17 of 2021), and all podcast segments were recorded live on January 19th (Day 19 of 2021)
Part 1 of 3 of the Podcast only content – Asking why Kyrie is always painting on the edges of both extremes, and why it is his most positive press always seem to come around right after he's just received a bunch of bad press for being a selfish knucklehead. Terrestrial: Hour 1 (begins around 0:21:00) "The Scramble Game", another ignominious one-line defeat for the Browns, but it's certainly not the only reason fans have to be upset about with the heartbreaking Divisional round to Kansas City. The biggest fear of catching a severe case of "Browns Fever" we had never considered before.  The Harden trade to the Nets and how it is somehow the Cavs ended up winning the deal. Part 2 of 3 of the Podcast only content –  The vaccine rollout situation in Ohio, and of course some of the right wing extremists recently arrested for their part in the insurrection at Capitol Hill were from Ohio. (begins around 1:18:00)  Lachlan MacKinnon’s ‘Best of Edition’ Let Me Tell You A Story: “The Three Hard No's” (begins around 1:36:00) Terrestrial: Hour 2 (begins around 1:41:00) Najee Harris is a trip. What it would cost to eliminate tuition at all state college and universities, and how just using the money Division 1 sports generates would pay for 25% of it (and where you can easily get the rest of the money). The word "foment" has sure been used a lot lately and though it's pretty easy to know what the word means given its context, there's another archaic definition for it that means something entirely different. Ariel Pink is just another over-privileged and entitled white dude who has sucked and been a despicable human being for a long time, and now the universe is finally correcting for it. Part 3 of 3 of the Podcast only content – Human Composting and the San Francisco Museum of Art almost did the unthinkable - Mollie’s Weekly Reports: (begins around 2:39:00) Terrestrial: Hour 3 (begins around 2:59:00)  Just when Kyrie Irving was again causing issues for his team to a tune of almost $1mill in fines, he also officially became the "third wheel" in Brooklyn... Yeah, that's going to go over real well.  Mollie’s Weekly Reports, terrestrial edition!  All this and so much more on this episode of the Defend Cleveland Podcast. Enjoy~
