Look at the calendar. The clock has struck midnight on the era of media manipulation in the city of Cleveland. The deadline for the mainstream press to peddle their curated fictions without consequence has not just passed, it has been obliterated.
As of right now, the wall of protection around the established narrative has crumbled, and what we are left with in the aftermath is the deafening sound of a collision between the cold, hard truth of this quarterback competition and the absolute delusion of the local media machine. We need to have a very serious, very uncomfortable conversation about what is happening behind the scenes with the Cleveland Browns because the propaganda machine is spinning so fast right now that it is about to come off its axis.
For months, we have been told a story. We’ve been fed a meticulously crafted narrative by voices like Mary Kay Cabot and Tony Grossi, reporters who have physical access to the facility, but as it turns out, have zero access to the truth. >> camp dates yet. It’s going to be sometime around the end of July.
Uh and one thing we know for sure is this quarterback competition is going to continue. It’s going to pick right back up when we get back to training camp at the end of July. Uh Mary Kay, this is not a huge surprise. We we Th- This is what was indicated um really within the last couple weeks.
Now, I think early in the process and early in the spring, there was this thinking that we’d have the starter going into training camp. We’d know who the number one would be. The reality is I these guys just nobody separated themselves. It felt like Deshaun had a lot of the early momentum. D’Ernest seemed to kind of close the gap, and I will give Todd Monken credit for not forcing a decision here.
Like he’s he’s going to let this thing go until a guy until he either runs out of time or a guy separate. >> They have looked into the cameras and told you with straight faces that Deshaun Watson has a commanding lead. They have tried to convince you that this wasn’t even a race. But if you strip away the production value, if you ignore the sympathetic nodding of the industry insiders, and if you actually listen to the words coming out of the mouths of the men who actually run this offense, you will find a level of
journalistic that is frankly terrifying for the future of this organization. I cannot believe what I am hearing. I have watched the press conferences, I have read the transcripts, and I found myself shaking my head in disbelief because it confirms everything we have suspected. The local media does not understand the business they are in.
>> Well, I think it’s the right thing. I think it’s the right thing because Shedeur Sanders has come up the learning curve so well that he really has made this a bonafide competition. This is not coach speak. This is not rhetoric. We can look back to the voluntary mini camp in April, and Deshaun Watson was decidedly ahead at that point.
And that is largely because he came in with an institutional knowledge of pro offenses. Uh he seemed uniquely suited to what Todd Monken was doing. He had watched film, and he was able to translate it. He was processing well, and just from the start, he was significantly ahead. And then, Shedeur Sanders went to work and really narrowed the gap.
And by the time he got to the end of mini camp, which he had a good 3 days of mini camp. That first day of mini camp was a good day for him. Now, we don’t know exactly behind the scenes, uh you know, would he have been sacked on some of those explosives or not, but he had a nice mini camp. And so I think they have no choice but to keep the competition going and see who will be able to separate themselves once the pads come on, the fur starts flying, and the actual competition begins.
But I mean, this was all Shedeur. You have to give him credit for not being denied and saying, “Oh, no, no, you are not counting me out in this competition.” And he really >> They are trying to draft their own reality. And as of this week, that reality has officially hit a cliff edge. Let’s talk about G Bush because he just set the record straight in a way that should be studied by anyone who values the integrity of sports reporting.
He didn’t just challenge the narrative. He exposed the Browns media for the false claiming and the backtracking that has come to define their coverage of Shedeur Sanders. The smoking gun? >> The winner will declare itself pretty quickly once the pads come on. >> Okay. I’m reading into that, believing they think that Watson’s ability to deliver the ball under under a pass rush is clearly better than Shedeur’s right now.
And they’re not going to go weeks into camp to make this decision. >> Mhm. >> Watson’s got 10 years experience. I mean, he was a good quarterback at one point. And what’s Shedeur’s weakness, although he’s improving on it? >> Uh getting rid of the ball. >> Yeah. And believe me, I’ve I’ve seen it out there all spring.
And Watson, too, has suffered from not processing quickly enough. And I just feel that they feel >> They won’t EVEN BELIEVE IT. >> [laughter] >> I [clears throat] I DON’T EVEN BELIEVE IT. >> [laughter] >> THIS IS HILARIOUS. It ain’t even rage bait no more. It’s hilarious. You don’t believe He He Anytime it took How many How long is this clip? This clip took How long TO EXPLAIN THIS? >> [laughter] >> IT TOOK him all that long to talk about No. No. No. No. No, my good sir.
You said it was supposed to be over by today. Everybody told me he was the leader of the clubhouse. THEY NEEDED TO HAVE IT named by today. But then again, I was the one who told you that it was an artificial timetable. Remember who told you that? I said, “Oh, here what they trying to do. They set a timetable, and then they pressure you.
” >> Monken >> [clears throat] >> wants an athlete. >> That wasn’t even believable. I This is so unbelievable. I got to start with him laughing. I got to start and pause it with him laughing. I love when you can’t keep the charade going. I love it. >> The quarterback coach he said, “The winner will declare itself pretty quickly once the pads come on.
” >> Do you notice they’re still trying to set an artificial timetable? You said it was supposed to be done before camp. Now it’s Oh, well, I know this is going to the training camp, but it it it uh they they said it’s going to it will it will go pretty quickly. >> It came directly from the mouth of the offensive coordinator, Todd Monken.
Before the team dispersed for their 6-week break leading into training camp, Monken spoke out. He was asked the question that every reporter in that room thought they already knew the answer to. >> Is there any negative since since you wanted your quarterback by now? Is there any negative that heading into training camp, at least at the beginning you don’t have one? >> Oh, I don’t see it that way.
It would be if I didn’t think either one of them were capable of of starting. All right, it would feel different if I didn’t feel like their progression hadn’t gotten to this point where I think they both can start and play winning >> And what did he say? He refused to name a starter. He explicitly stated that he is not naming a quarterback one.
This absolutely exposed the media elite. It exposed the false claims that Watson had already secured the bag. Now, look at the aftermath. Look at the backtracking. Mary Kay and Tony Grossi are suddenly tripping over their own words. And let me be clear, I am not going to be as hard on Mary Kay as I am on Grossi simply because she, at the very least, had the decency to give Shedeur Sanders credit for his performance.

But Tony Grossi? Tony Grossi is living in a state of absolute delusion. He is putting words into the mouth of the head coach. He is putting words into the mouth of the general manager Andrew Berry. He is inventing quotes for the quarterback coach. This is the Ferrari fallacy of sports media. It is the belief that because you have the keys to the facility, your opinion is a fact.
Grossi is standing there with his hand out demanding you believe his version of the story while he ignores the actual economics of the football field. When Todd Monken says that both of these quarterbacks possess starting potential, what does that sound like to you? Does that sound like a battle where neither man can separate himself because they are struggling? Or does it sound like a room where the talent level is so high and the competition is so fierce that Monken refuses to be rushed into a decision? To me, that sounds like a QB battle that
is trending upward. It sounds like Shedeur Sanders has forced the hand of this coaching staff. And yet, the media wants to tell you that there’s no separation as a way to hide the fact that their chosen veteran hasn’t run away with it. They are going against the very organization they cover. They are going against Todd Monken, against Andrew Berry, and against the quarterback coach.
It makes you wonder, are they even supportive of their own team or are they so invested in their own insider status that they would rather see the team fail than see their narrative proven wrong. But the truth is raw and it is uncut. The Browns media has been wrong since the very second Shedeur Sanders stepped foot in Cleveland and we have to talk about why that happened because it leads back to a very serious problem that existed before this season.
Kevin Stefanski did not want Shedeur Sanders. Let’s be real about it. Stefanski was against this. He wanted to maintain the status quo and because the head coach was against the player, it gave the media the green light to create these false narratives. They had someone in the building backing up their hate, but the tables have turned. The power dynamic has shifted.
Shedeur Sanders now has a head coach who actually wants him there. He has a staff that respects him and accepts the Sanders family. And now that the coaching barrier has been removed, the media is finding it much harder to sell their lies. They are left standing in an empty parking lot screaming about a veteran lead that doesn’t exist.
And while they are busy trying to bury Shedeur in Cleveland, the rest of the football world is starting to see the Sanders stimulus package in full effect. If you want to know the caliber of player Shedeur is, you don’t look at a Tony Grossi column. You look at the men who played with him. You look at the Colorado Buffaloes who are currently scattered across NFL rosters signing million-dollar contracts and turning heads in mandatory mini camps.
Let’s talk about Will Shepherd. This is a man who was signed back in 2025, a guy who spent the majority of that season developing on the practice squad. He was called up, waived, and then immediately resigned because the Green Bay Packers recognized the value they had. Now, he is on the active roster with an $885,000 base salary.
He just hauled in a touchdown from Taylor in mini camp. He is making plays for one of the most historic franchises in the league. That is the Sanders pedigree. Look at Lejunte Wester in Baltimore. He wasn’t just a teammate, he was one of Shedeur’s biggest supporters when things were going south under the previous regime in Cleveland.
And now, Wester is the talk of Ravens camp. He is making big plays alongside guys like Zion Young and Malachi Starks. He is proving that the talent Shedeur worked with wasn’t a fluke, it was elite. Look at Jimmy Horn Jr. in Carolina. He’s fighting for that number three receiver slot. He’s coming off a tough drop in the playoffs last year, but he is focused, he is ready, and he is a legitimate sleeper for the Panthers. He isn’t dwelling on the past.
He’s looking at training camp as his cliff edge, his moment to prove he belongs. And what about Xavier Weaver in Arizona? He’s entering his third NFL season. He’s had to deal with a hamstring injury that cost him time last year, but he’s healthy now. He’s competing for a depth role under a new coaching staff.
He’s a guy who appeared in 10 games last year and is now fighting for a special teams spot. He understands the business. He knows that his path is uncertain, but he has the Colorado work ethic driving him. Then we go to Jacksonville, where the Jaguars are essentially building a Colorado satellite campus. You have Cam Craig signed to a one-year $1 million contract.
He’s out there in the June mini camp drilling with fellow safety Antonio Johnson. He’s healthy, he’s fully ready, and he’s even giving back to his hometown with a camp for kids. You have B.J. Green, the edge rusher entering his second season as a former undrafted free agent.
He’s pulling extra hours working with Josh Heins, and analysts are already projecting him to survive the roster cuts. And then, the crown jewel, Travis Hunter, the Heisman winner. The reports coming out of Jacksonville are that he has bulked up and is ready to dominate on both sides of the ball. The Jaguars general manager confirmed it. Travis Hunter is going to be a two-way player in the NFL, and his rehab, he is far ahead of schedule.
After recovering from an LCL injury, his head coach Liam Cohen says he is a full go for training camp in late July. He is the sun around which the Jaguars’ future revolves. We have Preston Hodge in Jacksonville as well, signed to a three-year $3 million deal, turning heads in a crowded cornerback room. We have Arden Walker rocking number 56 as an undrafted free agent fighting for his life after a stellar pro day.
We even have Derek McLendon holding it down on the Dolphins practice squad. Why am I telling you this? Because you cannot demand that we believe Shedeur Sanders is a problem when everyone he played with is currently succeeding in the most competitive league on Earth. The Ferrari fallacy of the Browns media is the belief that because they drive a nice car to the facility, they know more than the scouts and GMs who are currently employing the Sanders circle.
The media in Cleveland wants something for nothing. They want the starting job to be handed to DeShaun Watson because they are comfortable with that narrative. They want to ignore the phenomenal growth of the rookie. They have moved past the point of reporting the news and have moved into the territory of active sabotage.
And the irony is while they are trying to break the wave of Shaddur’s momentum, his teammates are riding that same wave to professional success. It is time for the fans to wake up. It is time to stop doing interviews with friendly outlets that won’t challenge the local press and start looking at the reality of the depth chart.
If Todd Monken, a man with a championship pedigree, refuses to name a starter, it’s because he sees a battle. If he says both have starting potential, it’s because Shaddur Sanders has made it impossible to ignore him. The Browns media is looking worse and worse every time they open their mouths. Tony Grossi’s attempt to put words in Monken’s mouth is going to haunt him.
It is the perfect encapsulation of the entitlement that turns fans off. Fans work hard for their money. They understand basic competition. They know that if you have two people competing for a job, you don’t give it to the one who used to be good just because he has a bigger contract. That’s not how the world works.
Caitlin Clark, I mean Shaddur Sanders, is the sun around which this system revolves. He understands that without the product on the floor, the excitement doesn’t matter. He is prioritizing the game. He is letting his teammates prove his value in Green Bay, Baltimore, Jacksonville, and Carolina. He is letting the general manager’s own words about growth act as his shield.
So, what happens now? The deadline for the mini camp is gone. The 6-week break is here. We are staring down the barrel of a training camp that will be the most scrutinized in Browns history. And if the media continues down this road of false narratives and absolute delusion, they are going to wake up in August and find that the organization has moved on without them.
The irony of the local media’s position is that they think they hold the keys to the narrative. The reality is the players and the new coaching staff hold the keys to the future. And they are threatening to drive that car right past the press box. I’m telling you stop it. Get real. Look at the contracts.
Look at the starting potential Monk and Talked about. Look at the success of the Colorado players across the league. The excellence is undeniable. The only thing standing in the way of clarity is a group of reporters who are terrified of being wrong about the kid from Colorado. But they are wrong. They have been wrong.
And as we head into training camp, we are going to be here to make sure the truth is told raw and uncut. I want to know what you think in the comments. Are you tired of the Browns media’s hate? Do you think the success of Shaddur’s teammates proves he’s the real deal? And for my long-time supporters, how does it feel to see the whole squad on NFL rosters for 2026? Hype this video.
Let the algorithm know that we aren’t buying the propaganda. Push this out to every Browns fan, every NFL fan, and every Shedeur Sanders fan who knows that the Sanders effect is just getting started. The deadline has passed. The truth is in the wind, and it’s going to get ugly for anyone who refuses to look at the numbers. I’m out.
Peace.
