Burning River Sportscast: A Cleveland Browns Podcast

It's time! Time for playoff football for our Cleveland Browns! They finished the season this past week with a scrimmage against a division rival that had already been eliminated from the playoffs making for maybe the most meaningless game in the Battle of Ohio's history. The Bengals took that one as the back up starters who were giving the starting backups a rest ran out of magic and used this gam...

The Browns are dancing! After a season filled with injuries and adversity the Cleveland Browns have clinched the 5th seed with one week to go and sleepy Joe and the boys will be able to get all the rest they need before the playoffs as the game this week doesn't matter. Last Thursday they took on the Jets in a "win and you're in" game and left absolutely no doubt as to whether they were ready for...

We hope you had a Merry Christmas - who are we kidding, we know you did with that Browns victory - and we welcome you back to your regularly scheduled Burning River Sportscast programming! And why was it so Merry? Well in case your holiday festivities prevented you from fully enjoying the football game, Joe Flacco and Amari Cooper combined to rout the CJ Stroud-less Houston Texans and deliver to a...

Ho Ho Ho - Merry Christmas! It's week 16 and Christmas is year as your Cleveland Browns, despite all of the injuries and adversity this year, have a chance (with help) to clinch a playoff spot this weekend with two weeks still remaining in the season. How in the hell did we end up here!? In week 15 Joe Flacco and the boys dug themselves a hole against a terrible Bears team but managed to come up w...

Joe Flacco is the man! Cool Joe led the Browns to a victory over a solid Jaguars squad and the Browns are firmly in the playoff picture and at this point would have to work pretty hard to miss them! The Browns rewarded Flacco with a one year contract and we are riding with him for the rest of the season! In the game against Jacksonville, the defense did it's thing, the passing game looked good, sp...

It's time!!!! Time for the 50th episode of Burning River Sportscast! The Browns are on a 2 game losing skid since beating division rivals Baltimore and Pittsburgh in back to back weeks. The defense has come back to earth and looked rather pedestrian these last couple weeks. They got embarassed by the Rams on a day when Joe Flacco got off the couch and suited up once again and gave the Browns surpr...

Everybody just calm down!!! Did the Browns go into Denver and make like Turkeys and lay an egg? Yes. Did they blow a chance to gain ground and potentially eventually overtake the Ravens for the division lead? Yes. Did Stefanski have a few more ridiculous play calls in this one that helped turn the tide against our Brownies? Yes. Did the Browns pick up several more injuries to add to their long lis...

On this Thanksgiving Day of 2023 we are thankful for the Cleveland Browns. Our Brownies are currently sitting at 7-3 and have themselves positioned to make a playoff run. All this despite the team being down their franchise QB, a generational talent at RB, multiple starting OL, their starting FS, a starting CB for parts of the season, and starting LBs at times. And for that they can thank first an...

Do you ever wish you could go back to a better time? A simpler time. When everything made sense. When all was right with the world. When things were good and you were feeling great. When joy, hope, and excitement were the only emotions you've known. When Deshaun Watson didn't have a broken and displaced Glenoid bone in his shoulder? Yeah, we do too. Luckily since this episode was recorded before t...

Through 8 games the Browns find themselves right in the thick of things at 5-3! If the playoffs ended today the entire AFC North would be in the playoffs as once again they are proving to be the very best conference the NFL has to offer! Last week the Browns dominated an inferior opponent in the Arizona Cardinals as they got their franchise QB back. It was a game they should've won and they looked...

We were right there. The Cleveland Browns were right there... Somehow, while our $230M franchise QB was out and we were playing with our 3rd string XFL QB, Kevin Stefanski, Jim Schwartz, and the Dawgs on defense were still able to have the Browns in a position to pick up their 3rd straight win and get us one step closer to the top of the division. But alas! Kevin Stefanski went back to his roots a...

The Browns had another game go down to the wire and yet again they came out on top! Is it safe to say that the 2020's version of the Kardiac Kids are officially here? In the past 20+ years these games seemed to have gone the way of our opponent almost every time. But this team feels different. The defense is absolutely electric. The special teams are playing at an elite level. If only we could fin...

He missed it! Wide right! No good! No Cade York has not re-signed with the Cleveland Browns! No, these are just a handful of the many ecstatic phrases Browns fans were yelling Sunday night when the 49ers came to town, got humped up and down the field after Cleveland got a stiff D out of their Jim Schwartz, and Jake Moody missed two kicks (including the game winner with seconds left) in front of al...

The BYE week is done so the Browns should be back to full strength right? Right!? WRONG!!! Our $230M QB still has some soreness in the throwing shoulder which is now being called a rotator cuff injury and isn’t practicing. Not to mention the entire O-Line is dinged up. So what’s the plan for this game? We’re not real sure. But we do know one thing. Coach Stefanik is once again going to outsmart hi...

The Cleveland Browns have made it to their BYE week and in this roller coaster of a season they've sent their fans to the break singing the blues. It seems like the Browns were 'Born Under a Bad Sign'. Our $230M QB said "'I'd Rather Go Blind' than be a 'Working Man'". On the other hand we had 'Big Chief' saying "Fire? 'It Hurts Me Too'. But 'I'm a Man'. And I'm going to show my 'Pride and Joy' for...

The Cleveland Browns responded better than anyone could have hoped to their fearless leader Nick Chubb going down last week with an injury. Myles Garrett and the defense continue to dominate and Deshaun Watson finally took a huge step forward in the quest to get back to his former caliber of play. Can the Browns continue with their winning ways when the Baltimore Ratbirds come to town this week? W...

Two weeks. That's how long it took for tragedy to strike and for the worst possible thing that could happen to the Cleveland Browns to happen. Nick Chubb is officially out for the season and there is talk that he may even be done for good. So this week we mourn our leader, our hero, our captain, our Batman! Will Nick Chubb ever play again? Will the Browns be able to bounce back and carry on? How d...

The season is off to a fantastic start and we're still feeling it! The Bengals came to town riding high as Super Bowl favorites in many circles around the NFL. However, the Browns had other plans and weren't quite ready to anoint them just yet. Our Brownies dominated in all facets of the game and came away looking like they were ready to take the next step in their quest to conquer the North. They...

It's time! Time for your Cleveland Browns to play some real and meaningful football! We kick the season off in style with an interview with the Browns Barkers of South Euclid Browns Backers organization as well as a second interview with Browns Legend Webster Slaughter! Unfortunately, Ronnie Jams was on vacation abroad so Kenny Thunder had to hold it down in the states for this one. But there is p...

After dragging for what seemed like an eternity the off-season has finally come to a close and we can look forward to real football being played! In this preseason we had some surprises, our kicker struggled mightily, there were injuries to some players with a ton of potential, there are career concerns due to injuries to a cornerstone of the team, the defense looked good, the offense was inconsis...

The King of the North reigns supreme! Ronnie Jams wears his crown and Kenny Thunder becomes one of the sorry people as we preview how he got pelted with eggs for his punishment. Also, Michael Oher has blindsided the Tuohys, no more lizards at The Winking Lizards, the Browns have some standouts in the preseason thus far, Deshaun Watson is starting to look more comfortable, Cade York keeps missing,...

Finally... the Browns have come back to CAN-TON! The Cleveland Browns are in the Hall of Fame Game - AKA The Battle of the Backups - against the got damn Jets and we don't have to go a week without football for the next 6 months. Training camp at the Greenbrier is over and the boys are back in town working out in Berea, apparently the offense AND defense have impressed in camp thus far (?), a big-...

The off-season is almost over! The country roads are taking the Cleveland Browns home as they are heading into training camp at the Greenbrier in West Virginia, a few Browns got married during the break, people aren't expecting much from the Browns outside of Cleveland which leaves them poised to fly under the radar out of the gates, free agent pipe dreams have landed elsewhere, Cade York is going...

It's the most off-season part of the off-season for the Cleveland Browns but we won't let that slow us down! This week we talk about a brand new technology that utilizes large pieces of fabric to harness the power of the wind and helps ships traverse the seas while lowering emissions... Not only that but there are free agents out there that the Browns could use, Nick Chubb is getting more accolade...

It's time! Time for the Burning River Sportscast presented by Tap In Media and NOW BROUGHT TO YOU BY... who!? We have a MAJOR announcement for our listeners and we don't waste any time in getting to it. We also have a ton to cover as we had to postpone this episode one week due the birth of Kenny Thunder, III. There's golf happening at Cleveland Browns Stadium, the new Dawg Pound logo was revealed...
