Ken admits he's mentally preparing for Deshaun Watson to win the Browns' starting quarterback job over Shedeur Sanders, walking back some of his earlier optimism for the rookie after hearing from insiders like Albert Breer that no one is running away with the competition. He and Anthony debate whether an older head coach like Todd Monken naturally leans toward the veteran, and second-guess whether Cleveland made the right call passing on younger coaching candidates during the search. The two also touch on LeBron's ongoing free agency saga now stretching past three weeks, with the Heat's accidental press conference leak still the biggest "update."
