Yes, I am, but it's not really about this Sunday night football.

And listen, I'm impressed.

What the hell I'm seeing from Baker Mayfield?

How many times have I joked about him having more commercials with progressive than wins?

Obviously, we have to address weeks ago his wife coming to his defense on and what have you?

Baker Mayfield is balling.

We have to give credit where credit is due 25 touchdowns, just eight interceptions on the leader.

He threw 21 interceptions last year.

This had eight.

Now he's completing about 64% of his passes.

That's better than he's done in his career.

He's not beating these guys, and but he's not beating himself Rather.

And then how many games?

1234567 His last seven games the last seven weeks, Baker Mayfield has thrown one interception.

Just one.

I got to give credit where credit is due.

I'm looking at Cleveland.

Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt Top three Russian attack in the National Football League.

I'm looking at their defense, got some holes in it, but they try to address some things, and I'm looking at him not beating himself and not forcing the Browns to beat themselves.

I'm looking at this footwork.

I'm looking at him, reading through his progressions.

I'm looking at him looking off defenders and what have you?

I'm just watching him right now.

Kevin Stefanski is a coach of the year candidate because of a phenomenal job that he has done.

What a significant upgrade from Freddie Kitchens.

But I can't leave Baker Mayfield out of the equation, either.

The coaching that Stefanski is doing, you know, the GM, Andrew Berry or brother and African American doing his thing.

Pay attention.

NFL.

Yes, black folks could be executives to thank you very much.

Okay, so you got and you bury doing that.

You got Stefanski doing what he's doing.

You got Baker Mayfield ball in the way that he's balling and the Browns elevating the level of confidence.

I got to give credit where credit is due, man, I'm impressed with what I'm seeing from them.

I'm more confident in them now.

Then I was weeks ago.

I could promise you that Maybe then I was a couple months ago, but not that I was last week.

I'm the same amount of confidence.

You know, I think they can win a playoff game, and that's about it.

I need to see them do it against the Ravens or the Steelers, the two big brothers in the division.

And they haven't beaten them yet this year.

They'll have a chance against the Steelers last week of the season.

Let me say this about Baker.

Even a Do you remember when, um, we were told at one point that he was that Baker had said something about you and we were all prepared to come out.

You had something to say about it, and then you weigh, saw the video and listen to the audio.

And in fact, what Baker said was after you were critical of him.

In fact, what he said was, that's those guys jobs.

That's, you know, that's all I can control.

And he said, every single thing, right?

He didn't throw grenades at anyone.

All he did or shade anywhere.

He just focused on himself.

Baker has had.

Now, when you look at it, four head coaches at one point, it was over the course of two seasons.

Really, Hugh Jackson, who was the worst coach in the league at the time.

Greg Williams, who was so bad he made a play called this year that probably ended his NFL career.

Freddie Kitchens, who was a disaster.

And now the first time he gets a competent guy in Stefanski, he's doing very well.

I thought I had a lot of patients with Baker.

Mayfield.

When my patience ran out.

I said, Okay, he's not that great.

I was learned the lesson again.

More patients.

He is doing very well and he deserves a lot of credit for the way he handled the failures and persevered.

And he deserves everything that's coming to him now.

But that doesn't mean I like this team to beat the Steelers or the Ravens when I haven't seen them do it.

When I saw them just beat a Giants team and I had hopes for the Giants because I was wearing Rose colored glasses, right, I want them to be good.

I'm a Giants fan, but the fact is, they had their backup quarterback in and Colt McCoy.

Colt McCoy couldn't get anything done.

They couldn't get anything done in the in the red zone the Giants.

They really don't have an offense.

They never score many points.

They didn't again against the Browns.

It's not that it's like not a quality.

When the Giants could play some defense, they could do some things.

But I'm not changing my opinion on the Browns based on a game against the Giants.

I think the same thing I thought in the last couple months.

The Browns are a playoff team.

They're a team.

Maybe they could win a playoff game, but as right now, that's it.

Listen to Brown's got winds over in D.

Uh, I'm saying the Browns got wins over Indie They beat in the Colts.

I'm looking at that.

Andi and I looked at that, went over Tennessee when they dropped 41 on the Tennessee Titans.

You bring up the Ravens, you bring up the Pittsburgh Steelers, but there are other teams in the NFC that they'll have to perform against.

It might be Kansas City.

We know we're not picking anybody against Kansas City, but also you gotta look at the way they played Baltimore last week, even though they came out on the short end of it, how they beat the Titans how they beat the Colts.

We gotta pay attention to that.

And then we gotta think about the playoffs itself.

Obviously, they you know, they play Buffalo.

But the point is, is that when you look at it Buffalo, Tennessee, and indie maybe there.

And if there there can the browns beat one of them.

Yeah.

You know, you sound like, right now you remind me of Smoky trying to play.

Hey, Big Worm.

In Friday when he took out the money and he counted it was 123 and then flipped it over.

456 Write the bills.

You tried to make the Indianapolis Colts sound like two different teams in the A F C U gave They beat indie.

They beat the colts.

They know the browse air.

Okay, They can beat the Colts.

They can beat a team like that, But they don't have that many wins against that caliber team.

They have teams like that mentioned.

It tightens.

What's that?

I didn't mention it.

Yeah, I didn't mention that you did.

You did.

You did.

I'm saying, but to me, the teams they gotta be like, beat your rivalry, beat your rivalry teams first beat the guys in your own division one time this year, they'll have a chance against the Steelers.
