Ray Horner Show

:19 - No Ray today, but no problem, as Tony Mazur and Jim Albright manned the ship this morning. They touched on the settlement that Summit and Cuyahoga County had with four drug companies over the opioid crisis. Four other states are looking to similar settlements, as well.

8:38 - Odell Beckham Jr. is back in the news, and again, it’s not what he’s doing on the field. Well, technically it is, as he was fined over $14,000 for having his pant legs hiked up too high above the knees. Really. The panel, which included Kris Drew, discussed it, and Kris mentioned how he believes Baker Mayfield and OBJ are a bad fit and why Freddie Kitchens isn’t the answer at head coach.

16:23 - ‘80s hair metal will grace the stage at the Akron Civic Theatre on Thursday, as Dokken and Lita Ford will blow the roof off the place (hopefully not literally). Lita Ford joined Tony for a nice conversation about nostalgia and hearing hard rock music at grocery stores.

:19 - Ray is out till Wednesday, so guest hosts Tony Mazur and Jim Albright discussed the hard-hitting questions of our day: what exactly constitutes a sandwich? Is a hamburger a sandwich? What about a hotdog? Could a taco or burrito be under the sandwich umbrella? Then it went off the rails.

:19 - The NBA is in a real pickle after the Houston Rockets’ GM’s defense of the Hong Kong protests. Why? Because the NBA is big business in China. So why aren’t more NBA stars, coaches, and figures speaking out and defending Daryl Morey? Is it about the money?
