WFNY Podcast: Talking Cavaliers, Dan Gilbert and Jared Sullinger

Our weekly podcast with Cleveland.com is ready for the listening. This week Scott and Rick answer Dan Labbe’s questions about the Cavaliers.

When will the losing streak end?

What is the biggest hole to fill on this team?

Should Dan Gilbert be more vocal concerning this team?

Is Ohio State’s Jared Sullinger the answer for the Cavs in the draft?

Will the team be active at the trade deadline?

You can listen to the podcast here, or head over to Cleveland.com to download the MP3. Thanks again to Dan and Cleveland.com for providing the forum.

WFNY Podcast: Browns Coaching Search, Some Tribe

Now that the Browns are done and moving on to a very important matter of hiring a coach, TD and I sit down with Cleveland.com’s Dan Labbe to discuss a variety of Browns coaching search-related topics.

Is Mike Holmgren coming down to the sidelines? Is this search Jon Gruden or bust? What about Marty Morninwhig? What about some of the “not big name” candidates, like, say, Mike Mularkey? Speaking of the Browns and Cleveland.com, don’t forget to check out Craig’s new piece on Rob Ryan’s Best Quotes.

As an added podcast bonus, TD and I pull a head-fake and try to get you ready for some… [gulp] exciting Tribe baseball in 2011!

You can catch the full audio at the link above to Craig’s post, or can get your fill immediately after the jump.  Do enjoy. [Read more...]

WFNY Podcast: McCoy, Mangini and More

With the three final weeks of Cleveland Browns football waiting in the wings, Rock and I sit down with Cleveland.com’s Dan Labbe to discuss a variety of Browns-related topics.

What do we expect to see from Colt McCoy this week as well as next season? Is the future of Eric Mangini tied to McCoy’s relative success?  Will the Browns be able to take a division game on the road?

As an added bonus, find out who we think the current “best” Cavalier is as well as what the future holds for one JJ Hickson.

You can catch the audio over at Cleveland.com or can get your fill immediately after the jump.  Do enjoy. [Read more...]

WFNY Podcast: Talking Coaches, Mangini and Scott

The Browns sit at 5-7 with two very winnable games between them and a .500 record. Is this improvement enough to give Mangini the free pass until next season? What kind of job has he done with the talent around him? Does he get the most from his players?

Byron Scott recently changed the line-up, what kind of success will this unit have against some tough competition the rest of the month? What in the world is going on with JJ Hickson? [Read more...]

WFNY Podcast: Can the Browns Win Their Next Four?

It’s not everyday that we get to talk in depth about all three teams, but with the recent Browns successes combined with a .500 Cavaliers team and some news coming out of the Indians, we have a triple-threat podcast with Dan Labbe over at Cleveland.com.

What should we expect from these next four Browns games? Did Paul Dolan make a bit of a bonehead move by announcing that the team isn’t participating in free agency?  And can the Cavaliers maintain this pace with the schedule getting tougher?  [Read more...]

WFNY Podcast: Talking Browns, Braylon and the Cavs

Is Braylon Edwards setting himself up to fail on Sunday? Is it nitpicking to say the Cavaliers haven’t beaten any good teams outside of Boston on opening night? What do you expect from the Cavaliers as the schedule gets more difficult?

Andrew and DP field these questions and more today on the Cleveland.com podcast. Thanks again to Dan Labbe and the good folks at Cleveland.com for providing the platform and forum. As always, you can listen here, or head over there to download the MP3.

WFNY Podcast: Cavaliers and Steelers Week

Who should start for the Cavaliers? Would you bring Jamison off the bench? How about Mo Williams? Is Andy Varejao trade fodder? What about the Browns, do they have a shot against Pittsburgh this week? Can Colt McCoy take the starting job away with a strong performance? Did Jerome Harrison get a fair shot?

Thanks to Dan Labbe from Cleveland.com as always for the opportunity. Andrew and I dive into these questions and more on a 25 minute podcast.

WFNY Podcast: Indians in Review and Looking at Browns vs Falcons

Thanks again to Cleveland.com for the recurring feature. This week DP and I discuss the state of the Indians and look at the match-up between the Browns and Atlanta Falcons. We talk about developing talent (Brantley, LaPorta) and whether the Tribe should bring back some old talent (Jim Thome). We talk tough about bringing back Jake Delhomme and whether the Browns’ secondary can contain the Falcons’ passing game.

Dan Labbe of Cleveland.com again asks the questions, we do our best to provide the answers. Find the MP3 at Cleveland.com here. Or listen right here.

WFNY Podcast: Talking Mo Williams and Browns/Bengals (Fixed!)

Is Mo Williams a leader?  Can Antawn Jamison play the small forward spot in Byron Scott’s offense?  And will the Browns shock the world (or at least those in the viewing area) by upsetting the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday?

Andrew and I sat down with Cleveland.com producer Dan Labbe to discuss these issues and more in all of 20 minutes during our latest edition of our weekly podcast.  You can catch the mp3 file over at Cleveland.com or just listen via the savvy media player below.  (File is fixed – was playing last week’s podcast until about 1:45p!
