Nobody Asked for NFL Games in Paris and Ken Is Tired of Pretending They Do

from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima

Ken and Lima go on an extended tangent about the NFL's international game expansion after reports surfaced that the Steelers rather than the Browns will play the Saints in Paris, and neither of them can muster much enthusiasm for the concept. Ken's core argument is simple: no fan in Cleveland Ohio is pounding the table demanding to watch their team play in Europe, and the whole exercise feels like the league doing what's good for the NFL's bottom line rather than what's good for the average fan who already has a hard enough time watching the Browns lose from his own couch. Lima makes the one genuinely good point of the segment, which is that a Browns win at 9:30 in the morning would let you enjoy the rest of your Sunday without the usual dread, which Ken reluctantly admits is a positive worth considering. Ken also teases a wild Ryan Day question from Lima coming up later in the show that has been stuck in his head since the day before.
