We're Spielman-free on Monday, as Chris is flying home from working the Arizona-Atlanta game. He will be back Wednesday.

What we learned from the college football weekend with OSU off, Georgia losing and the chance to take close looks at Wisconsin, Alabama, Clemson and Penn State.

Wisconsin is earning respect for two reasons.

Browns lose to Seahawks and fans blame the officials.

That's not the reason they lost.

Here is where the blame for the Browns' loss truly lies.

Are the playoffs out of the question now that Cleveland is 2-4?

What team would be ranked No. 1 if the rankings were determined by the team most likely to defeat OSU?

Faith corner looks at a word we don't often use...seek. What does it mean to do it, and why is it important?

1:00 Since we established the over-under on Ryan Day remaining Ohio State's head coach 4 1/2 years before heading for the NFL, who do we think will succeed him at OSU.

3:00 Luke Fickell's future job destination.

4:30 Maybe Mike Vrabel will be available.

5:30 The Browns' issues so far this season are easy to identify. And so is the common culprit.

10:00 Watch out, Browns fans. Spielman tells you who to fear in the matchup against Seattle.

14:00 Bruce would cut one member of the Cleveland Browns, because he deserves it, and because it would send a message to the team.

17:00 Why are no Browns reporters (that we know of) asking this question of Browns brass?

18:00 Are you type or breaking rocks at Leavenworth?

19:00 Would you like a broken keyboard with that return email?

More extensive show notes coming later....but for now, here's the Cliff's Notes version:

Is Ryan Day interested in the Redskins?

Bruce establishes the over-under for the length of Ryan Day's stay at OSU.

Spielman's surprising statement about what he thinks Ryan's future is.

The Browns go down hard in San Francisco.

What went wrong and why.

Bruce's daughter scores a game-winning goal in soccer and he's caught on video celebrating.

That sparks a discussion about dads celebrating their kids success, suffering their failures, how to be strong for them as they traverse that continuum and how all of that defines what love is.
