Which Cleveland athletes were you 100% certain would become stars before their debut?

George Kirby is a very talented pitcher. The Cleveland Guardians did not care.

Jose Ramirez, Josh Naylor & Andres Gimenez led the offensive surge as Stephen Vogt's team improved to 5-2 on the season with 2 series wins. Is this offense better than we thought it could be already?

The Cleveland Cavaliers laid an egg on ESPN last night, falling to the Suns 122-101. Donovan Mitchell doesn't look healthy yet and as a whole, the team's offense sputtered on the second night of a back-to-back. If Mitchell isn't healthy, why is he out there right now? Should the Cavs run their offense through Evan Mobley for the rest of the season?

The Houston Texans added Stefon Diggs on Wednesday, making the arms race in the AFC that much tighter. Where do the Cleveland Browns stack up in the arms race as it currently stands?

Patrick Peterson says the Browns are the team he's most looking forward to watching in 2024. Are too many people jumping on the Browns bandwagon now?

Shawne Merriman joins the show to talk all things football.

Plus, who was the last Cleveland athlete you were 100% sure would turn into a star before they ever stepped on the court/field? And more importantly... we're you right about that guys potential?
