  • HQ for Cleveland Sports

    I’ve been listening to these guys for all of my adult life (and I’m old) but I don’t live in Cleveland any more. This show helps ease my pain and I’ve been listening to this show since the beginning but I haven’t rated until now because I had to speak my peace.

    The BA & BA (Brian Andersons) episode was TREMENDOUS! I had to pause the show multiple times to catch my breath and my face hurt from laughing.

    Keep bringing Cleveland sports to the masses guys. Thank you!

    I enjoy Jeff & Andy’s honesty. I also enjoy Packer Fan Dan as well chiming in.

    Their perspectives are usually very well thought out, and communicated.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hour 2: Scott Petrak + Guardians on a roll + Terry Pluto
Q: What is the plan for deploying the quarterback in OTAs and how might this affect the start of the season?
The consensus is to split reps between Watson and Sanders to gauge readiness while avoiding a rash, early commitment; the goal is to observe both players' fit in the new offense and make an informed decision later in the summer.
Scott Petrak: It's too early to determine who will be the Browns' starting quarterback
Q: Who's taking snaps at quarterback during OTAs?
Petrak suggests it will be split among quarterbacks with Watson likely to start, but the distribution should be balanced rather than lopsided to ensure competition and proper development.
Howard Beck: The Knicks are peaking at the right time, but the Cavs look ready for them
Q: Cavaliers keep going through old coaches' tours here. They just knocked off JB Beckerstapp. They'll see Mike Brown now with the Knicks. I'm just curious your thoughts on the coaching matchup here.
Beck notes that both coaches—Mike Brown and Kenny Atkinson—have earned respect for rebuilding and elevating their teams, and suggests the outcome will hinge on how well the chess pieces (roster fits, adaptability, and playoff execution) complement the game plans rather than on coaching reputations alone.
Hour 3: Concerns for Donovan Mitchell + Cavs up for a challenge + Headlines
Q: So here's my question for you, Jeff.
The threshold for changing minds on the Harden/Mobley trade hinges on whether the Cavaliers win a championship, which would potentially justify the high price.
Mary Kay Cabot: I don't expect Taylen Green to be a part of a QB competition, but he will have opportunity to contribute
Q: Do you think Taylen Green will be part of the starting quarterback competition this season?
No, the consensus is that the starter battle will be between Deshaun Watson and Shador Sanders, with Taylen Green in a developmental and backup role unless an extraordinary camp performance changes the dynamic.
