BREAKING: Cleveland Cavaliers hire Kenny Atkinson & the Cleveland Guardians are RED HOT
According to Woj, the Cleveland Cavaliers have hired Kenny Atkinson to be the team’s next head coach.
There’s no hotter team in baseball right now than Cleveland Guardians.
Stephen Vogt’s team just swept the Blue Jays and are peaking at the right time with a road trip to take on the Baltimore Orioles up next. Is this the biggest series of the year for the Guards?
John Fanta joins the show to talk about the Guardians and their incredible homefield advantage this season. Plus, he helps us preview the Cleveland Cavaliers draft prospects who could be in play for the team with the 20th pick in this week’s draft.
After John, the UCSS guys play a round of “The Blind Dating Game” to see which prospect fits their idea of the Cavs needs the best.
The Cleveland Browns cut Lonnie Phelps over the weekend after he was arrested for a DUI in South Florida. The team is operating on a no-BS mantra this offseason, but does that pay dividends on the field?
Plus… we won an Emmy!

Get Earl off the mic
Don't forget that LeBron submarined the Cavs before he left by demanding they give a max to Tristan.
LETS GO CAVS!!
Kenny took over a trash team in Brooklyn, built them up the lost his job because Kyrie, and Durant didn’t like hard practices and were pissed he wouldn’t start a stiff washed up Deandre Jordan over Jarrett Allen
I’m excited to see what his high pace triangle based motion offense and defensive strategy can do
Between that preening know nothing Earl and that mumble mouth G, Jay has to carry the show. If it wasn't for Jay this show would be unwatchable!
Tom Izzo endorsed Atkinson, This was all Dan gilbert
@John Fanta = great guest . More of him and Quincy Carrier please
John was cookin like 🫵🏾🫵🏾🫵🏾 lmao all we need is the either beat!
1995 Indians were 50-21, were 57-25 before losing their 26th game, so it was close.
Jay always uses “well they don’t tell us anything” as an excuse for reckless speculation. No sports organization is going to be transparent like Jay demands the Cavs/Browns/Guardians to be. Didn’t Jay want Koby Altman fired like G? If you wanted him fired, then you shouldn’t be surprised or upset that Dan overruled him and picked Atkinson. Looking forward to Jason tomorrow so we actually can get some good Cavs conversations instead of complaining about Donovan, a star player, supposedly holding the Cavs hostage. Jay acts like Donovan doesn’t hold up his end of the bargain. Dude carried us through the playoffs, it’s Koby’s roster construction and JB’s coaching that doomed us, not to mention a really really good Celtics team.
We need to find a way to fleece the Chi Sox and get Garrett Crochet I’m telling you he’s one of the best pitchers in the league and are we really worried Chicago will compete in the next 3 to four years. Give em four prospects for GC idc
I am with G.Bush the Guardians are so close make the big move i would love them to go get luis roberts he is a special talent and bull hates him so he would be a great fit a legit CF with power
Take a shot every time Jay says when I was at ESPN
I’ll never forgive 97 . Chuck Nagy shouldn’t have come out the bullpen . Shuey, Assenmacher, Plunk, Weathers , idk who but you know we had a Fresh arm left in the pen.
1995 was the Braves turn and I’m not mad at that
2016 cmon we all think the same thing I’ll just put it out loud that World Series was our payback to the sports gods. We came back from 3-1 to golden state so our payback was losing from a 3-1 lead to Chicago to end the cubs “goat” curse so again I ain’t mad at that it’s appeasing the sports gods
You guys keep saying that the Guards need pitching help and I don't disagree, but did you know that they have given up the fewest runs in baseball? A lot goes into that, like the number of games played, the bullpen, etc. But this shows that they can't be that bad.
The dolans changed the name for no reason and dumped on 100 years of Cleveland and baseball tradition in the process. The team is winning in spite of, not because of ownership. It's Major League 2.
97 was a heartbreaker they even had the trophy going to the locker room and took it back heartbreaking
Trusting Mckenzie washed
Jesus saves !
