The Official Waiting For Next Year Podcast

I decided to go solo for this podcast because I've been thinking a lot about a lot of things lately and just wanted to get them out.

Also, my thoughts on the Cavs this year and Cardale Jones' football decision. Cleveland Browns and Zach Jackson and Andre Knott...

I grabbed Sam Allard from Cleveland Scene Magazine to discuss the ever-frustrating Cavaliers.
