Ken's Guaranteed Week One Prediction Streak Is Officially a Bit

0:00The Ken Carmen show with F3 Lyma. I can't focus on the future. I gotta focus on now. If I try to look ahead and I get distracted on not focusing on what I need to do now, then who knows about the future of my health. So all I can do is control these moments now, these opportunities I have now. Well, it's been great. He is really embraced what we do offensively. I think for him, it's been, you know, brother fresh air, new life, new opportunity. Now we've all got to take advantage of it, same with myself, so I'm excited for him. I would hope that all of our players, including Dishon, that were speaking the same language, offense defense, special teams, and speaking the same language, terms of our expectations on a daily basis, a weekly basis, and how we're going to play on Sunday. It's been well since that Buffalo game. Out of your mind? Which Buffalo game? Proceeds in the game. Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah, that's, I'm not worried about that. You know, we focus on now. You know, it's about what we got, what we can do now. So it's not about what we were about in the future. In the past, excuse me.

1:00You know, we're about 24. We're not worried about last show. Me not playing. We're not worried about the preseason. Right now we got to focus on Jason. This is Cleveland Sports Radio. 92-3-The-Fan. Kill you. Let's go. Hi. Hello. You excited for football last night? Didn't seem like I was for about 10 minutes in the first part. Oh, man. Okay, I got to tell you. Then Sam Darnal was limping off. And it's pretty clear. Neither team was going to put up a bunch of points. And I'm like, yeah, I think, uh, they might be a good night to catch up on sleep. Have we reached again tomorrow night? Have we are, are we finally reaching that point with the sport? Because it was Wednesday and Owen said, you know what? I'm a little thrown off because I sit up and I'm going to watch the first three quarters. And now I got a game tonight. And I'm like, yeah, I felt the same way you did. And then it starts off with this whimper. It's a Wednesday. Everything's thrown off. And now you got this game in Australia,

2:01which they're going to play at 10.30 in the morning out in Australia, which is only going to strengthen my argument later on by the way, which we'll get into pre-Fore Mary K joins us at 8.20 this morning. But I'm seeing this last night. I'm going, yeah, I mean, I know it's a, it's a super bowl rematch and fireworks are going off in the stadiums loud and it's packed and I'm just like, yeah, it still feels like pre-season. Something out of Wednesday, man. They have Pearl Jam guitarist before the game. And then during the National Anthem, tornado warning came up. Betsy Kling was on my TV. And I said, okay, this is not going to threaten my area. So prayers to the people there. Let's get it over to peacock. We're nothing muddies up the screen. I'm sorry, Betsy. You're doing, you're doing what you need to do. They got to do. They have a responsibility. I did the same thing. I thought peacock at least gave me that. The only problem I have with peacock is, you know, how sometimes there's that spot where they don't have commercials to play.

3:02So they just play stick around. We'll be back to the game. The music they use for that is also the same music they use for a special report on NBC, which made me think something nationally was at. They play the John Williams music. Yes, it's that same orchestra. Dun dun dun dun. Oh my God. It doesn't get as hyped up in the middle. But it happens for like five seconds. And definitely, now I was wrong. The phone and I looked up like, oh no. That is what happened. That is to every generate up. What do you think? It's, it probably does John do that. John's 24 when he hears that. Dun dun dun dun dun dun. At the beginning of it, it's like, I got to stop whatever I'm doing to look at the TV. Like it is, it is a, it is a dinner bell. I think that might be gone. Serious is going on. Unfortunately, I wish that weren't the case, but that might be gone with, with people in his age, age range. I'm a big fan of the sports jingles. I like the autumn wind. Well, that's not a sports jingle.

4:02That's a breaking news jingle. That's a, we just had a national tragedy jingle. That's twice, it's twice this week. But now you're breaking news. Do you have that Ohio State non-con? John coming up here in the next couple of years. And that fourth. I, but I think John and his entire, that demographic is getting the news from TikTok or anything. Anyway, they don't get the theme song. My kids don't care unless the, if there's like, for a severe thunderstorm warning or a tornado warning, your phone usually just pushes and you get the loud blaring thing, my kids are like the phone didn't blare. So yeah, if there's no jingle, how do I know it's important? You don't? I have to know it's important. I don't know if there's a draft pick. Unless I hear the dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. Dun dun dun. Like I don't know then. I can't tell you there's a draft pick. That was more interesting to me than what happened on the football field last night. It was, it was a snorkel. Well, we get honest. Actually, other than drink may, can't complete passes to a history of receiver.

5:03That's why I was, that's why I was taken in by it. Which was incredible. Cause last year he had the best deep ball accuracy in the NFL. And last night he had two picked off. He had three total, but he had two of the, two of the downfield throws picked off. Also the last, the last two weeks, Mike Vrable has looked like a football coach who has no answers. And it's just mad at everybody because the last game that they had was against Cleveland in the preseason. And he was mad at the entire game. Cause of the lack of effort. Yeah. And ballahood wide receivers leaving the field in a boot. You had such an advantage when the other teams starting quarterback plays five plays. And then gets a yank test to leave the field. And yeah, I guess you didn't really know if he was going to return or not. And that's the, you know, they said he was leaving the stadium or something. I got, I got him. Well, he had to go get an MRI. Apparently the news is good. The initial good news is good for Sam Darnold. I mean, we're talking hip injuries. Hip injuries are very serious. So that's, that's not good.

6:05And then of course Drew Locke comes in there and play, I thought, play pretty admirably. What do you think? I played pretty well. From what I saw because I was in sleepy land. Well, but I woke up to the morning. You fall asleep at a pass out. I was out so quick. It was only a Wednesday. I can't, there might not have been any boost. Let me see your eyes. And I know they're not going to lie. No, my side. See, this is, this is the one argument I have. I've kind of quarreled with football fans. There's just different levels of football fandom. And one of the themes I think of the arguments that sometimes mean you get in or mean the football fans all over the place is that there is a pretty substantial number of football fans who will say all football is good football. Defensive struggle, good football. You know, greatest show on turf or what? Good football. Oh, this one was just to shoot out good football. Oh, two backup quarterbacks. Good football. It's football. And last night people were willing to accept any football.

7:07Normally, but I will say the social media I woke up to today is a bunch of people were admitting that it was bad football. It was bad football, which normally they don't. Normally it's a celebration of football no matter what. I think usually you find that in college. Like if people see 62, 61, oh my goodness, like, nah, I ain't good football. I mean, I got a dig deeper. Maybe it is. Maybe the offenses are just that high powered. But usually, there's issues here. And you got to dig a little deeper. And I think last night, I think you're right. I think people were excited to see like the NFL come back. And then it was just it popped. I can appreciate good defensive football when there are a ton of like tackle your, sorry, sacks, quarterback pressures. Yeah. Guys, you know, making plays, saving, you know, potential scores and things like that. Didn't feel like that was happening at all last night though. It felt like two teams that, you know, I mean, they hadn't played their starters all three preseason games or any preseason games for that matter. And then also had two weeks off or three weeks off since the last time those guys played.

8:12It bingo. You had almost 150 yards and 17 goodbye taken penalties as well. Like that's that's a pretty easy thing. That can be pretty slut. I mean, that's what it was. It was a preseason game. Let me tell you why that is exactly why I'm telling you. Like I can't tell you about what's going to happen. I'm not going to tell you about what's going to happen like in week two or any week after that. Last night is the exact reason why it's like, I absolutely, I give, I know what the odds say. They say eight and a half. I say it's a 50, 50 chance. I think it's a 50, 50 proposition. I am as, I am as in tune for a Brown's football game as I think I'm going to be all year. Well, I don't know. Week two is probably going to be a big one. So I, but I'm pretty in tune with these first two weeks about how things are going to go. And I, it's week one. You both of these teams lost week one last year. Both of them did. Maybe it's a Patriots thing where they just come out and play like absolute garbage in week one every year. Maybe they'll set sale. I think that some people are going to look at as a Super Bowl hangover.

9:13I know the Drake May was terrible last night, obviously. But going back to the Browns, hey, I know the 13 and four. I know what Vegas is saying. And I don't think I'll sound like this every week. I mean, if they go out there and they get boat raised, I can't imagine I'm going to sound like this every week. And we're going to play some hilarious Ross Tucker audio coming up here to rod 624. Vegas thinks you're getting boat raised. I understand one of the bigger lines of the weekends. I totally understand that. But I imagine, well, you know, New England was coming off a bad record, but they had, they had the pieces that people might be excited about going into the last year against Vegas in week one. But I do believe that week one tends to be a slot fest. I think last night was an indicator of that. Week one is a good thing for us. Yes, that's what I'm saying. If you can come out and you can just eliminate first and 15, if you can eliminate second and 12 because of holds or holds, I mean, holds happen. If you can eliminate pre snap, if you can eliminate turnovers, like if you can run the ball with any decency and calm down to Sean Watson, like, yeah, I think you can get a little sloppy

10:19and find a way to win this football game on Sunday. You're not favored for very good reasons. One team is better than the other and the Jacksonville Jaguars have a better quarterback situation. They have a more proven coaching situation. I don't know. Todd Munkin might end up being the golden god. We don't know yet. One coach has gone to the playoffs after a terrible introductory press conference has gone to the playoffs and has seemingly has turned the Jacksonville Jaguars around. They got a good defense. They got a good front four. They're good against the run. A lot of this stuff is obviously based on last year. There's a lot of reasons why if this were a week and I go, yeah, take the Jaguars, but I'm telling you right now, if you're going to take the Browns, I think this week's the week to take the Browns. And you could just say it, Browns, money line or Ross Tucker and wake his ass up and tell him to call up. I'll tell him right to his face. Respectfully. I'm saying take the Browns with the points or I'm taking the Browns to win. Oh, you just get taken away. Yeah, I'm going to take the win. Hey, I don't gamble, but you want to do a money line? I'll take the Browns to win. Now, what is Ken? You bring it in a Bible.

11:20In the past, what has Ken said at this exact time before every game one? Because it's week one for wins to six wins to eight wins to last year. Famously. And then then the coach got fired. I'm going to watch week one. I'm going to watch week one. I'm going to pick him to win week one. I'm going to watch week one. Now, I can't imagine I'm going to pick him to win next week. I think the reality will probably set in. I can't honestly. I can't imagine I'm going to win next week. I want to ask the fans. It's not a Ken Karmie question. Okay. If Ken tells you every year at this exact time that the Browns are going to win the opener, does he lose credibility with the fans? We've won some openers recently. We have. We actually have. But if Ken does this exact same thing every year, do you brush it off? Do you say, oh, well, it's just Ken being Ken or does it get you fired up? I'm asking the fans. You don't have to answer that question. I can't answer that question. I have no idea. Two, one, six, four, seven, four, double, 92. When Ken predicts the Browns to win week one every year, does it mean anything?

12:21Does it get you pumped up? That's week one. I'm not picking him to win every week. I imagine your own thing now. But here's the thing. If they do win, I'm trying to pick them to win. No, I don't think I will. I don't know if I will. Yes, you will. 100%. Well, now you're going to make me pick against him. Two, one, six, five, four, seven, four, double, 92. If the Browns actually do win week one, we'll Ken flip flop and pick the Browns when we two. So a couple of questions out there for the fans this morning. I hate you dearly. All right. So I mean, if they win week one, I'll pick them to win too. Hell yeah, well, I don't know if I might just do it out of spite to pick against them. If they win week one and week two, then why are we doing when they come home for the home opener? We're booing. Ken, you kidding me? It's a boo fast. We were ain't forgotten about that. What are you talking about? Yeah, you forgot about that. He brought it up at the beginning of the press conference, but then he later on forgot about it. That's right. Yeah, we got our brain screwed on real tight, don't we?

13:22But we are fully confident in ourselves, aren't we, over there? Yeah, am I not wearing this one on Sunday afternoon now come to think of it? Well, make a case. That's what this is the great thing about all this. You always make a case. Ken, it's easy to do. Outside of there, just the browns and it's, hey, I like the browns. No, it's, it's, it's week one. And I think that your offensive line can probably not be any worse than what it was last year. I understand that you bring up with the Shunor fans that they weren't that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, that, they still were one of the bottom groups in the NFL. And it's their first week together. So that's going to be pretty hard to make an argument for. My dammit. Fire up the music. Get me going easily yesterday. What? During his eight minutes of speaking, Dishon Watson, he was asked about his seven and no record against the Jacksonville Jack Wars. Eight know eight know. Oh, I said seven and no.

14:23He's only K wrote eight know. They said seven and a no. Okay, well, you know, I mean, you heard it quite. I listened to it three times. It's one of them. I was doing twice. I was doing it yesterday afternoon. I heard it this morning with Jeff. But I would, I only read the what Mary. All right, even though those were different teams. Let's hear he had the, he was a different long or whatever at one point and then wrote a bus all the way to Jacksonville to play. It is amazing. The fall for the guy. I wanted that guy. It that's what the guy's gone. That guy's gone. He's never coming back. That bus went to speed limit the whole way there. Or they just think it caught. I don't know. 643. It used to be a time where athletes would get away with speeding. That is not today. Well, if you're going, you know, again, if you're going 74 in a 60, I might be able to cut you a little bit of slack there. 86 is moving a little quickly. More on that at 643. Damn it.

15:23All right, you want me to get the mic in the background? Let's go. All right. You know, no, I'm going to wait. I'm going to wait. To 1 647. 4 to below 90. I'm going to get to these guys here in a second. Throw out the number. Throw out the question again to everybody. Do you remember what you asked everybody? Yeah. Ken picks the Browns to win every year at this exact time for the opener. This is an effect my credibility. Yes. Does it mean anything to you? Does it mean anything? 216. 4 747. 4 to below 92. I want to see what you think. I'm not just going to, I know with my heart, they can win. But I know with how I sound. It sounds like I'm saying that they can just get lucky. 216. 4 747. 4 to below 92. That and if any police officers have a polygraph with them right about now or access to a polygraph right about now, 92. 3. The fan may need your help. I'll explain a really Ross Tucker will coming up at 624.
