Thanks- looking for a deeper reason- ie Charity, to admittedly fill his pockets, as a favor to KNR, to promote some other agenda? I wonder how much he's getting paid for the appearance...

Said KNR asked him, no idea if he is getting paid. I would think at worst accomodations are paid for. He said he is loyal to Cleveland for being one of his first markets and longest running relationships with KNR

Yeah he's always seem sort of positive towards Cleveland. Even during the playoffs when the Lakers were on their run, he was giving the Cavs props. He also has a lot of people from the Tribe Org. on and loves having people from the Cavs on his show.

Great start with Mike Brown in studio. Earnest Byner due up next on the phone. Bernie in studio at 1 p.m. Sizemore on the phone after that. Then Jim Brown in studio.

It's like an on-air loveletter to Cleveland. Rome is doing more for the image of this city today than many in leadership have over the past 10 years. It's actually got me feeling some Cleveland pride as a sports town.

Not able to listen at work so a couple questions...

Anything interesting out of Roker's mouth? Did Rome ask about coaching decisions made during the ECF and if there was anything different he would have done? O was it alot of talk about the Summer of '10?

Please tell me with Byner he didn't spend a majority talking about the AFC Championship game, you know the game that rhymes with mumble. I'm sure if he did Byner took it in stride as he always has.

Brown said he's never talked to LeBron about his contract and if he wants to stay. Also said he hasn't seen Delonte's KFC rap. Some guy from San Antonio called and asked if he would ever come back to replace Popovich. Brown said you never know what the future holds ... which is probably why he never talked to LeBron about his contract.

Can't hear what Byner is saying because two ninnies here won't STFU.

Can't believe I missed all but ten minutes of the show.

Rome seemed like he loved it all, felt awesome to hear my area get major props.

How was the rest of the show and the Byner interview?

When's the Byner interview?. I'm moreso curious how the guy acted around the rhymes with "rumble". The last I saw him interviewed on "Top 5 reasons you can't blame" he started to tear up pretty badly on it. I feel really bad for the guy, here he carried the Browns on their back in that game, had an amazing preformance minus what happned, won a super bowl with the 'skins and he's still haunted by that.

Byner has not been haunted by the Fumble. Browns PR director told the media after the game that Byner would answer questions in the media room, then took Byner's bag to the trainers room so he could dress in private. Byner took the bag BACK to the locker room and dressed out in plain site in front of everyone, media included. He acted like a man. Granted, from what has been told, he finally did breakdown on the plane home having felt he let his teammates and the fans down. He also admitted that it took some time to get over it privately yet he NEVER made excuses publicly and his performance on the field wasn't affected. If it haunted him, there's no way he would've come back and played for the Browns in '94-'95. He could've been Bill Buckner and retreated to Idaho to escape the media backlash..

It's not like you walk up to him now, scream "The Fumble" and watch him melt right in front of you. In fact Byner uses that experience when coaching.

Today, Byner uses his fumble as a powerful coaching tool to teach others how to overcome adversity.

"To be honest, it helped me be a better man and a better person," Byner said. "Going through something like that really gives you perspective that life is not over when you have something tragic happen or something that definitely challenges you."
