The first show of the year is the best show of the year ... so far. A lot of talk of Joe Flaco and the play off bound Cleveland Browns. Who will rest? - who will play? and who else will be in the playoffs? Do college bowl games mean anything because of the NIL? and a bit about the Cavs.

With no technical difficulties this week Captain Bill and Dave discuss how the NIL has changed the transfer portal and even the bowl games - those bowl games we didn't watch. There's a bit of information on how to Watch the Guardians on TV this next season and finish up with chat on the latest Browns win in this our last program of the year.

After settling the great chair debate of 2023 Captain Bill and Dave get down to the latest Browns loss, Joe Flacco's performance and who will be the starter next week against the Jaguars along with a dollars to doughnuts wager.

After Captain Bill gets over the loss of his favorite chaitr we go on to the loss in Denver, with injuries and where the heck did the defense go? As injuries pile up where do the Browns go from here?

The Good Captain is still on assignment, so Dan Tonelli and Jim Vilk are in with Dave to fill his shoes (at least I think they're his shoes) with an hour of sports talk.

With Captain Bill in assignment for most of the month, Dave does something unique - he reads sporting articles from various sources.

Captain Bill and Dave eventually get around to dissecting the Browns loss and look at the other games in the NFL.

DeShaun Watson? What's up with his injury? A look at the World Series games and Baseballs (maybe FOX) having a problem with who's left there. There's also talk about the retirement of Dusty Baker.

Captain Bill and Dave are wondering if the Football Gods of Bad Calls are that much in favor of the Cleveland Browns as the break down the game. DeShawn Watson starts the game but doesn't finish the half. So many quarterbacks gone as this is the year of the Back-up. The search is afoot for Terry Francova's Replacement.

Captain Bill and Dave talk about the highly improbable win over the San Francisco 49ers. Who knew? Also spent some time discussing the passing and successes of Dick Buckus. Even a bit of time on the ALCS. Is that an hour or what???

Captain Bill and Dave bring you another hour of mostly Browns talk and the search officially begins for a new skipper for the Guardians. We also give a salute to Juan Valdez's Mule with coffee in hand is how we ramp up the show.
