BRS 154 - 2026 Off-Season: The Trade

Welcome back, Burning River faithful! We promised that when earth-shattering Browns news broke in the off-season, we would respond. But we didn't promise it would be cheerful. Grab a stiff drink from our friends over at Towpath Distillery, because we are officially breaking down the trade that sent our generational, once-in-a-lifetime sack king, Myles Garrett, packing to the LA Rams. Logically? Maybe it was the right timeline realignment. Emotionally? It’s just another brick in our perpetual wall of Cleveland sports trauma, right next to LeBron, Lindor, and the time-honored tradition of shipping Cy Young winners off to the highest bidder. We discuss whether Jared Verse can ever actually fill those size-16 shoes (spoiler: he's not Myles) and launch our official, season-long LA Rams Spite Watch. INSIDE THE EPISODE: * The Ultimate Eulogy: We look back at Myles’ historic Cleveland career, the June 1st financial escape, and ask the hard question: How did we have a top-three defender in NFL history and turn it into exactly one playoff win? Classic Browns. * Deshaun Watson’s PR Masterclass: Deshaun finally talked to the media for 13 whole minutes. Did he take accountability for playing like such garbage to the point that fans cheered when he ruptured his achilles? Of course not! But he did tell everyone to check out his Instagram page "Four Love." * Quarterback Scab Roulette: There is an honest-to-God QB competition brewing between Watson and Shedeur Sanders. Kenny explains why watching Deshaun play under new OC Todd Monken is like picking at a gnarly, infected scab—you know it’s a terrible idea, there’s going to be blood everywhere, but you just can't look away. * The Berea Baptism: We recap the "Cleveland for Christ" event at the Berea Municipal Pool, where Defensive Rookie of the Year Carson Schwesinger got baptized. We also debate Joel Osteen, the prosperity gospel, and whether being baptized in a Jacuzzi across state lines actually counts. * The Unofficial Season 5 Motto: “Nobody wants this, but we’re gonna give it to you anyway.” Leave a Review!

Operators are definitely not standing by, but Kenny might listen to it while crying over Myles Garrett highlights.
