Hello, friends.

Welcome to the Zach Jackson and Friends podcast.

I was going to start by singing a little Christmas Carol, but nobody wants to hear me sing.

Maybe nobody wants podcasts here at this time, especially me just solo rambling.

And that's fine.

But for those of you who do, I figured I'd get here.

I sure shit don't want to talk about the Cleveland Browns anymore than I have to. But it's the most wonderful time of the year and the fact that there are only two games left in this miserable, embarrassing sunken operation of a season is a positive. Obviously, the Browns have long checked out.

When you trot Dorian Thompson out there, you're not trying to win.

Everyone knows that.

They can hide it all they want.

And obviously, we've seen, you know, just how bad they are communicating just

about anything.

But we've come to the end, a second game flexed out.

So 405 Sunday will be the last

home game of the season. You know, it's going to be the last time a lot of these guys play in

Cleveland. Half the team is going to be new next year. You know, so is it Joel Betonio's last

home game? I don't know. You know, I think Joel's probably going to play another year, but he's made it clear,

you know, directly on the record and from asking around to people, he doesn't know.

And he doesn't know what's going to happen here.

And I think a lot of people don't know what's going to happen here.

So for all of you who would like to make the case, for keeping Andrew Barry and just saying there was one mistake here with the awful quarterback and the awful contract, then go ahead and make your case now.

Okay, yeah, yeah, no, there's not much case there.
