The preseason is over, our wide receivers look great, and yet everything still feels completely doomed. Welcome back to a completely "Boneless" edition of the Burning River Sportscast, where Kenny Thunder and Red Hot Ronnie Jams recap our glorious 37-13 blowout win over the Patriots. We unpack Dillon Gabriel looking like a superstar against guys contextually destined to drive Amazon delivery trucks by next week, the sketchy front-office politics putting him on IR with "back spasms," the heartbreak of cutting local try-hard kid Luke Floriea, and the reports that Todd Monken wanted Shedeur to start before being aggressively puppeted by the front office. 

Outside of football trauma, Kenny completely geeks out over the official November 19th release date for Grand Theft Auto 6, leading to an existential crisis about grown men taking an entire week of PTO to steal virtual cars. Finally, Kenny gets aggressively "Gassed Up" over late-night television calling Forrest Gump a "simple gardener" when the man was a literal multimillionaire shrimp tycoon. Stick around until the final whistle to learn how you can win a signed Bernie Kosar jersey before our October 18th deadline!

Warning: This episode contains explicit language, extreme sports frustration, and countdown details for Kenny’s impending King of the North penalty.

All this and so much more and we break it all down for you right here on the Burning River Sportscast!

Welcome back for episode 157 of the Burning River Sportscast, where our patience is thin, our rants are unfiltered, and our predator quarterback is making $12 million a game to throw balls directly into the dirt. This week, Kenny Thunder, Red Hot Ronnie Jams, The Bone Man, and special guest "Big Dew Dawg" dive headfirst into the absolute clown show that is the Cleveland Browns front office. We're unpacking the tone-deaf, diamond-flashing masterpiece of a press conference where Deshaun Watson proudly declared he has "no regrets"—right before we contrast him with the ultimate classy retirement of model citizen and absolute legend Nick Chubb. Spoiler alert: One of them would be booed even if he returned 15 years from now to smash a guitar and the other will be in the Ring of Honor. But it's a true emotional rollercoaster today. We take a meaningful timeout to honor a real community hero, our late high school coach George Wetzel. We share some hilarious, fond memories of his "tough love" style—including the time he completely forgot he punished one of us to run laps for three and a half hours. Finally, Kenny gets "Gassed Up" over his recent dinner at Steak and Shake, which has apparently mutated into a dystopian sci-fi nightmare where you need a QR code scanner just to pour a Diet Coke. Stick around for a wildly tumultuous history lesson on the litigious cold war between Hershey's Chocolate and Hershey's Ice Cream, and find out how you can win a signed Bernie Kosar jersey!

The $230M Albatross: Why Cleveland fans have officially entered the "apathy and rage" stage of the Watson era.

Nick Chubb vs. The Circus: The glaring contrast between a silent, 5-yard-per-carry superstar and a tone-deaf PR disaster.

Warning: This episode contains unfiltered adult language, extreme sports frustration, and explicit talk about butthole-waxing bet penalties.

All this and so much more and we break it all down for you right here on the Burning River Sportscast!

Preseason Week One is officially in the books, and the guys are already staring down the barrel of existential dread. In this episode of the Burning River Sportscast, Kenny Thunder, Ronnie Jams, and The Bone Man break down the 2026 Cleveland Browns’ opening performance. From the sluggish, vanilla quarterback display to a severely lacking interior offensive line, they question if Todd Monken’s offense can make anything out of this season.

But it’s not all depressing football talk. The guys also unpack the legendary story of Kenny’s 1.5-hour interstate trek to find an open Cinnabon, debate why we should normalize total honesty with restaurant servers, and explain why "The Bone Man" had to give a corporate office a piece of his mind over a horrific Great Clips haircut.

Key Takeaways

Welcome back to another season of emotional damage! Season 5 of the Burning River Sportscast kicks off with Kenny Thunder, Ronnie Jams, and The Bone Man attempting to process the latest chapter in Cleveland Browns existential dread.

In This Episode:

Sponsor Spotlight & Free Stuff: We raise a glass of Towpath Distillery to numb the pain, dissect a viral national anthem clip, and announce how you can win an autographed Bernie Kosar jersey—because clinging to the 1980s is still our primary coping mechanism.

The Post-Myles Reality Check: Life after trading Myles Garrett to the Rams. Can Jared Verse, Carson Schwesinger, and Mason Graham fill the void, or will opposing quarterbacks have enough time back there to comfortably file their taxes?

O-Line Overhaul: Rookie Spencer Fano takes over at left tackle under new coach George Warhop. We evaluate whether this revamped unit can actually protect a quarterback, or if they’re just dynamic turnstiles.

The Great QB Circus: Todd Monken’s first-team rep distribution is giving us heartburn. We break down the Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dylan Gabriel battle—and react to EA Sports Madden 27 insulting both Watson and Sanders with identical 69 overall ratings.

Nostalgic Regret: A brief, highly rational moment of wishing Baker Mayfield was still holding down the fort.

Over/Under 5.5 Wins: The boys lay their dignity on the line to predict if the 2026 Browns can somehow smash expectations and win an astounding six whole games.

Grab a drink, lower your expectations, and hit play!

Welcome back, Burning River faithful! We promised that when earth-shattering Browns news broke in the off-season, we would respond. But we didn't promise it would be cheerful. Grab a stiff drink from our friends over at Towpath Distillery, because we are officially breaking down the trade that sent our generational, once-in-a-lifetime sack king, Myles Garrett, packing to the LA Rams.

Logically? Maybe it was the right timeline realignment. Emotionally? It’s just another brick in our perpetual wall of Cleveland sports trauma, right next to LeBron, Lindor, and the time-honored tradition of shipping Cy Young winners off to the highest bidder. We discuss whether Jared Verse can ever actually fill those size-16 shoes (spoiler: he's not Myles) and launch our official, season-long LA Rams Spite Watch.

Leave a Review! If you're feeling trapped in the airless, directionless void that is the Cleveland Browns offseason, hit that subscribe button on YouTube and leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify or wherever you get your podasts.

Want to leave a late-night, unhinged rant on our hot take outline? Our number is 330-227-8081. Operators are definitely not standing by, but Kenny might listen to it while crying over Myles Garrett highlights.

Most Browns fans toast the draft with hope—this year, the strategies behind the picks might surprise you. From trading down and selecting versatile linemen to passing on early wide receivers, the Cleveland Browns' latest decisions could reshape their future. Are they finally playing the long game, or just playing it safe? Discover the behind-the-scenes reasoning and what it means for Cleveland fans who’ve mastered the art of “maybe next year.”

In this fiery episode, we break down the chaos of draft night: the unexpected trades, the rise and fall of top prospects, and the squad’s master plan to build a championship-caliber team. We cover how Andrew Berry’s strategy of prioritizing value and versatility might just be the smartest move yet—or the biggest gamble.

You’ll hear insider insights, draft theories, and a deep dive into how Cleveland’s picks could either set them up for success or keep the skeptics skeptical.You'll discover: why the Browns' focus on offensive line depth signals a shift in draft philosophy, the implications of passing on flashy receivers for long-term stability, and how their choices at 24 could be the difference in playoff pursuit. We discuss the risky but potentially rewarding approach of stockpiling linemen, the impact of drafting Ohio State talents, and whether this draft will finally break the curse or just prolong the wait.

This episode matters because the NFL draft isn’t just about next season—it's about shaping the franchise’s identity for years to come. Whether you're a die-hard Browns supporter, a draft strategy junkie, or just love the thrill of unseen potential, this conversation is a must-listen. Get ready for surprises, heated debates, and the kind of optimism only a Cleveland sports fan can pretend is routine.

And don’t miss out—call into the Hot Take Hotline and share your own draft predictions. Are the Browns making the right moves? Will their strategy pay off? The power is in your hands now. Buckle up, hit play, and join us in shaping Browns history, one pick at a time.
