On this Thursday Orange and Brown Talk podcast from cleveland.com, Doug Lesmerises is joined by Scott Spratt of Football Outsiders to talk about fantasy football in general, but especially how it relates to the Browns.

Barbarian movies and football stats (it's Browns related, we promise)
On this edition of the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast, we lean into one of the craziest ideas Scott Patsko ever had -- looking back at the 1986 Browns barbarian film "Masters of the Gridiron," which features stars of the team running shirtless through the woods, fighting ninjas during a music video and seeking a ring to make them Masters of the Gridiron. Maybe you're very familiar with the 17-minute film, maybe you've never heard of it before, but it warrants at least a brief trip down memory lane At the end of the pod, Scott and Doug Lesmerises do discuss some relevant football numbers as they debate whether last year's Browns data applies this year or not. But honestly, it's mostly Scott and Doug talking Browns barbarians. Thanks for listening to another pod from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Are the 2021 Cleveland Browns tough to analyze? With Football Outsiders' Aaron Schatz
Aaron Schatz, the editor in chief of FootballOutsiders.com, joins Doug Lesmerises on this Tuesday Orange and Brown Talk to talk about what the data might tell us about the 2021 Cleveland Browns. But this might also be a team that bucks the data. The defense is totally revamped; Baker Mayfield almost had two seasons in one last season; Odell Beckham Jr., is coming back from injury ... and there are other reasons that Schatz agreed the Browns are a tough one for this season. There are lots of ways to analyze this team, and this is an angle worth listening to, since Football Outsiders breaks down the numbers of football as well as any site out there.

Why hype is the wrong word to use with the Cleveland Browns, with guest Jordan Zirm
Doug Lesmerises is joined by Jordan Zirm on this Thursday Orange and Brown Talk Podcast to discuss why the word hype is driving Doug crazy when applied to the Browns this season.

Browns defense draft -- Who's the third pick after Myles Garrett and Denzel Ward?
Mary Kay Cabot and Doug Lesmerises are back with another draft on this Friday Orange and Brown Talk. A week ago, they each drafted 12 offensive players to form two teams from the Browns offense. So they'll each 12 defensive players to form two teams from the Browns defense. Doug has the first pick this time and of course selects Myles Garrett. But where should John Johnson III, Jadeveon Clowney, Jeremiah Owusu-Koromoah and Greg Newsome come off the board? Once again, the intention of the draft is to provide a little info about the Browns depth and to address which players are the most valuable, based both off their talent and the guys behind them. And, also, it's July and time to have a little fun before football gets serious again. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk Podcast from cleveland.com.

Tim Couch, Myles Garrett's legacy, and Hall of Fame voting: Hey, Mary Kay!
It's another episode of Hey, Mary Kay! on the Orange and Brown Talk question, and Doug Lesmerises couldn't help himself. He asked Mary Kay four questions that she could really dig into: How did she become a Pro Football Hall of Fame voter, and what did she think of the process when she joined that group? Who is a Browns player she covered that could have been a star and a fan favorite if he had been in a better situation -- like for instance, if he was a Brown right now? What would have happened if the Browns had drafted Deshaun Watson, given Watson's current off-field issues? When Myles Garrett's career is over, what might his legacy in Cleveland be? As always, Mary Kay brings the goods. Thanks for listening to the Orange and Brown Talk pod from cleveland.com. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Something a little different on this Orange and Brown Talk episode, as Doug Lesmerises and Chris Fedor talk about both the Browns and the Cavaliers. Doug and Chris relive the three truly down years for the Browns that led to the picks and moves that produced Myles Garrett, Baker Mayfield, Denzel Ward, Nick Chubb and part of the Odell Beckham trade.

Doug and Chris have the answer to that on a crossover episode that shows why the success of the Browns should encourage another Cleveland team. Want to get involved in Football Insider?
