Ken and Lima address the backlash after Jim Thome is shown in all black cheering on the White Sox at an elimination game, with Ken admitting he wishes the statue at Progressive Field had never gone up. They debate Thome's mixed loyalties given his ties to the White Sox organization, whether he should have avoided the cameras, and why the statue would stay up either way. Ken closes by teasing why the Browns' game against the 1-3 Jets could be the most important of the season.
