All of us want to know in the sports world, with the news of the Cleveland Indians going to change their name in time for the 2022 MLB season what will that name be? The idea of Spiders has been thrown out but someone currently controls that name. Who? A Vancouver, Washington resident and Cleveland born man by the name of Arlen Love!

I tracked down Arlen and chatted with him about filing a trademark for the name to create merchandise, future team branding, possible negotiating with MLB and Cleveland for the name, and more!

Arlen also hosts a fantasy football podcast called Its Just Fantasy
