This week, I did my best to hang on to the positives, like the Indians' winning streak and the opening of Browns training camp. Heck, if Kyrie Irving wasn't trying to piss off the entire city of Cleveland while forcing his way out of town, this might've been my happiest show ever.

So close...

Having fun enduring one of the most miserable summers in Cleveland Cavaliers history? No? Too bad, because now we have to talk about Kyrie Irving's trade demands. I painfully sift through that news, while also finding a lone bright spot in the Cleveland Indians getting their act together in a weekend sweep of Toronto.

Just as I assumed the Cleveland Indians would eventually start playing like a real first place team, I also assumed the Cleveland Cavaliers would've named a GM by now. Struck out on both of those this week, but it sure gave me plenty to rant about.

I also use the Vent of the Week to cover those lovely "LeBron James-to-LA" rumors we're never going to stop hearing about.

The CLE Sports Talk podcast returns after a week-long break, and there's certainly a lot to cover. On the bright-side, the Cleveland Indians are in first place at the All-Star break. On the opposite side, surprisingly the Cleveland Cavaliers' strategy of interviewing one (inexperienced) candidate to fill a huge front office vacancy and letting him take half a month to make a decision somehow backfired. Didn't see that coming...

Buckle up, everyone. Dan Gilbert burning down the Cleveland Cavaliers' front office and the Cleveland Indians looking like a tee-ball team over the weekend have made for a very surly CLE Sports Talk podcast this week.

Where do the Cleveland Cavaliers go now after their brutal Finals defeat? What offseason moves are on the horizon? Also, are the Cleveland Indians finally on track?

I cover this and more in the latest episode of my CLE Sports Talk podcast.

Also please enjoy a special off-the-cuff Vent of the Week thanks to Cavs owner Dan Gilbert making a Browns-esque move midway through recording my show. Spoiler - I'm not psyched about it.

This was setting up to be quite a sad podcast. Then the Cleveland Cavaliers won Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Check out my thoughts on where this series goes from here, the still-mostly-kinda-average Cleveland Indians and Cleveland Browns quarterback news (because there's always Browns quarterback news).

On this week's CLE Sports Talk podcast, I tackle important questions on the NBA Finals (such as "how in God's name is Steph Curry out-rebounding Tristan Thompson?"), and eat a little crow when it comes to my favorite Cleveland Indian, Trevor Bauer.

After all of that, I focus my Vent of the Week on Cavs and Warriors fans' obsessions with putting asterisks on each team's respective championships.

How do the Cleveland Cavaliers stack up in their Finals grudge match against the Golden State Warriors? What can we make of the Cleveland Indians sending starter Danny Salazar to the bullpen? Should the Cleveland Browns be worried about Brock Osweiler's comments this week?

I take on these questions and more in the latest CLE Sports Talk podcast. I then focus my Vent of the Week on the inexplicably ageless Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate.

Will the Cleveland Cavaliers' lengthy layoff negatively affect them in the Eastern Conference Finals? How much longer can we excuse Edwin Encarnacion's slump as a slow start? What takeaways did we get from the Cleveland Browns' rookie mini-camp?

I cover these topics and more in the latest episode of my CLE Sports Talk podcast. I then air my grievances about the Josh Gordon situation in my Vent of the Week.
