The Cleveland Sports Hour

After Monday night's carnage, the Cavs are now 0-3 against the teams that matter. Can the Cavs win a title with this roster? Or does Blatt simply need to change the gameplan to put them in a better position to succeed? What do the Cavs do with Mozgov and Love? Does Love deserve this much grief? Matty & Patty have the answers. (Open question whether those answers are any good.) Plus, the Browns sea...

Can Kyrie Irving lead this ragtag group of freedom fighters to defeat the evil juggernaut Warriors on Christmas Day? That is the sole focus of this week's episode. That and Patty's 4 year old son reveals how Star Wars taught him everything he needs to know about being a Cleveland Sports fan.

Shumpman returns! But is it enough to settle a brewing feud between Matty & Patty over the fate of the Cavs? We hold an early season summit to answer the question: Are the Cavs athletic enough to win it all? Or has the league already evolved past this super team?

It was a beautiful Sunday. The Browns did not play. Instead, the Cavs played. And won! Yet somehow... we still find ourselves talking about the Browns. Because that's how bad they are. They are a disaster of biblical proportions. But, hey, just remember: At least the Cavs are 6-1.

Just like old times! God bless the Cavs for making us forget about football and the Browns for a change, as they outperformed Matty & Patty's expectations with a 2-1 opening week record. We also break down their questionable Halloween costumes, analyze the significance of team team handshakes, and update the Power Kill List. Oh, and we check in on the Browns too. Someone has to.

The Cavs season starts Tuesday and with it, Cleveland's best shot at a title since Matty & Patty were born. We tell you what to keep an eye on, what offensive sets to look for, and who to hate once the games begin. (The Kill List returns.) Cavs basketball is back, rejoice! Come On, Cavs!

How much do the Browns suck? Matty & Patty can't agree, so we bring in a special guest to help settle the dispute. Also... Cavs season is starting next week!

Things have gotten dark in The Land. The Browns are an embarrassment to a city with a surplus of embarrassments. But fear not: Cavs pre-season is upon us!

The Browns suck worse than we thought they did, the Tribe are probably done (again, for real this time), but Cavs training camp starts tomorrow so who gives a damn? Matty & Patty wade through the carnage of yet another Browns Sunday.

Johnny pulls a Rabbit out of his hat and all is well in Browns Town -- for a week, at least. Is Manziel a real NFL quarterback yet? Also, time is ticking on the Tribe's playoff chase and whether Tristan Thompson will put one foot out the door by taking the 1-year Qualifying Offer.

Ahh, Browns Football is back with their eleventh consecutive season opening loss! Matty & Patty will dig deeper than is reasonable to find anything positive out of that game, check in on the Tribe’s playoff chase, and see if TT has signed with the Cavs yet.

Matty & Patty break down the surging-yet-still-disappointing Tribe's chances, celebrate the joy that is Francisco Lindor, try to preview the Browns season without crying, and check-in on the Cavs and Tristan Thompson.

Matty & Patty check in on Cleveland Sports in the dog days of summer. What will the Cavs final roster look like? Is it time yet to check out on the Tribe? Plus, with Browns Training Camp underway, we will furiously talk ourselves into… and right back out of the Browns’ upcoming season.

From the latest on the Cavs activity in Free Agency to whether you should start paying attention to the Browns and whether you can stop paying attention to the Tribe, Matty & Patty give you an overstuffed hour of the informed Cleveland fan's perspective on all things Cleveland Sports.
