This is really great news. Some media respect and ongoing coverage would be welcome here in the SE part of Ohio. Hope they do a stupendous job of this. Thanks for the heads up, YTown!

The coach's show might be pretty cool. Training Camp Daily is just horrible. I really think people only watch because they haven't seen football type stuff on tv since the draft.

Even with the itch for football, I still can't find myself to watch the Training Camp Daily show. Sucks and sucks bad...

I love Jim Donovan, but he can only do so much to cover up how crappy Andre Knott and Tony Grossi are.
It's just so predictable and boring. "Oh hey here's an interview with so and so player"
"Oh yeah we're having a good training camp, blah blah blah, I can't wait for the season to start, blah blah blah, I really think we have a chance this year, blah blah blah"

Honestly, I got no qualms with Grossi and FOR SURE no qualms with Jim - however, I am not sure how Andre landed a public media job. He does such a horrid job it's really beyond me. I'd rather listen to Mary Kay talk than him, and that's a very low blow lol

Well, what do you want them to say?
"Gee, I suspect that we'll suck again, and I am really looking forward to winning 5 games yet again this season"?
I wish they would show more footage of camp, even if it's just highlights. They could still have their "expert commentary" while we are watching video of specific drills and/or scrimmage type plays. I would prefer to see what's happening, as opposed to just hearing the commentators talk about it ...... without much detail.

I want D'Qwell to butcher Ben Roethliburger's name again.
I don't really want them to say anything. I think athlete interviews are horrible. For every good radio or tv interview with a pro athlete (who is still playing) there are 300 preditable, coached-up interviews.

Overall I just want to see more footage of the team practicing. However, I can deal with a player interview here or there. Sometimes a little nugget comes out of even the most predictable interview. That said, I still want to see more raw footage of the team in action.

Everybody on that channel is pretty horrible, aside from Jimmy Hanlan (based on the limited time I've seen his show). Drennen is a joke, Chuck just screams and waits for the caller to stop talking so he can make his next point, Donovan seems so fake, Mary Kay is atrocious and seems fake, Doug Dieken seems like he probably gets confused about how to tie his shoes in the morning, and Grossi has stupid opinions on just about everything discussed. You get my point. Plus, the people who call in on all of the shows seem to not have any knowledge of what they're calling about, they're painful to listen to. Literally, almost every call from a viewer is cringeworthy.
Unfortunately, this is the channel for Browns news that I have to go to.

The prank callers who troll are comedic gold though.
I dunno about anyone else, but I live for post game call-in shows when the Browns lose, it actually makes me feel better listening to the boneheads who call in to give their take less than an hour after the game. 24 Karat comedic gold.

There's a hilarious video on YouTube of a prank caller who called into one of the Browns preview shows with Grossi, Donovan, and Dieken late last season. It's probably inappropriate to post here but all three of those guys were cracking up.
It does seem like those shows definitely cater to the casual football fans though.

HAHA I forgot about that video!! I remember watching it live and being completely stunned. Classic.

Lol. That one and the lady that accused Mary Kay of sleeping with DA were classics.

I love the Browns Red Zone and Post game stuff. That is pretty good. Also, Drennan is the best thing they have on the station. He vents and tells it like it is most of the time. In addition any sportscaster who seems like he can relate to what the fans are going through is automatically better than about 3/4 of the people on the air right now.

Agreed.
One of my fave athletes in an interview was Jim McMahon. Clever, edgy and unpredictable. Waaay more interesting than most.

Same here. Sadly, I just saw him in a different type of interview. He's now in the early stages of dementia, which some feel is related to his concussions.

Yet we still have athletes saying that they would try their best to hide a concussion in order to go back into a game ...... and who would rather take multiple concussions than a lower leg injury.

Isn't that nuts....
I didn't know about Jim McMahon.. that bad huh? Man, he was a superbowl winning QB less than 30 years ago.. Didn't he come to Cleveland for a short time?

Havent been to Happy with STO coverage of the Browns so far...
Yes I know Indians baseball takes up alot of the time slots in the evening and rightfully so, it's baseball season and the tribe is doing great, but there is alot of other time slots other than 10:00 pm or 11;00 pm to show Browns news, some of us have to get up early and work, were dead tired around 9:00 pm or 9:30 and cant stay up that late to watch.
Now to say there is no other time slots availible is not true, we dont have to watch reruns of jimmy Hamlin golf world or poker challanges - advertising product infomercals...Give us some Browns....
