right now today yeah as of April 18th who is the face of Cleveland sports which athlete is the face of Cleveland sports the face of Cleveland sports today today the face of Cleveland sports by far hands down DJ Steph floss well that's his answer we're gonna get to the Target Jay's not on the set but I asked him yes he'll take Jay's answer Steph thank you for coming in my man thank you guys thank you guys oh nice for me the face of Cleveland sports is actually pretty easy it's Jose Ramirez it has
to be Jose Ramirez he's the only superstar in Cleveland that's had any playoff success to speak of so when you look at the other guys miles Garrett is great at jumping on boxes and dunking in pickup basketball games and for sure DeSean Watson has all the potential in the world but he hasn't done it he hasn't done it here and he needs to do it in the playoffs and Donovan Mitchell I think is the closest guy to Jose but for me he hasn't any playoff success here yet he's got to win a series or two
and get this town super excited like Jose did last year when they were in the playoffs and like Jose did in 2016 when they damn near won a World Series so also it's the personality type of the player who are people from Cleveland were hard workers we don't take days off we're lunch bucket people Jose took a discount by some measures of 50 million dollars over the length of his contract to stay in Cleveland he took a HomeTown discount who does that when they're among the best players in the game
and he is an MVP caliber player so for me he runs hard he hits for average he hits for power he plays a great Third Base he runs the bases as well as anyone he may not be the fastest guy but he's so smart intuitively knows when to go he's just always doing big things that spark the team and sparked the crowd and for those reasons Jose Ramirez is unquestionably the face of Cleveland sports they says Jose and we had this debate in the production Booth yesterday a lot of different options here's ho
w we're going to do this everyone's going to make their case we're going to put it on YouTube the YouTube chat is going to name the face of Cleveland sports DJ Steph floss said it's him Jay said Jose Ramirez and Jason who is in your opinion the face of Cleveland sports so when Mikey brought this to me yesterday we had a conversation about it he gave me a list of names and the guy I chose wasn't even on on the list of candidates who was that Nick Chubb how is it anyone but Nick Chubb Nick epitomi
zes the whole city of Cleveland with the blue collar work ethic and just keep your mouth shut and do your job and always makes headlines for the right reasons never for the wrong reasons it doesn't say a whole lot just goes out and does what's required of them uh you know is Nick you know he's not in the LeBron category of Superstar but he's one of the best running backs in the NFL one of the best players in the NFL and I don't think there's really any debate and I I love Jose Ramirez uh unfortu
nately it should be I wouldn't even say it should be Jose just because he's in the MVP race and and one of the top third baseman in the league and but but baseball is what it is in Cleveland unfortunately the Browns are what they are here and you know you could make a case for Miles Garrett you could make a case maybe for DeSean I don't think desean's been here long enough I don't think he played well enough and I think there's too much baggage there right now miles I think is looked at kind of
as a diva and sometimes disappears on the field at times Nick never disappears he has a workman's approach and to me when I hear who's the face of Cleveland sports it sort of becomes the popularity contest and I can't think of an athlete in Cleveland more popular than Nick Chubb Brett Okay so we've got Jose nicked up too great right uh names right I think I'm gonna deviate a little bit I'm gonna go to see when you first let's let's clarify this when you talk about the face of Cleveland sports th
at means you have to be known outside of Cleveland right facts you have to be recognized right and so when we eat that category I don't think Jose meets that category right I don't think Nick does everybody know who they are but when when you come to think about outside this Market I don't think those names come to the Forefront right so my case is for Cavaliers newcomer Donovan Mitchell okay there's not a person around here who doesn't know who Donald Mitchell is there's not a person outside th
is Market who doesn't know who Donald dementia is he has by pseudo of positioning become the face of Cleveland sports now what he has not done is deliver anything here to Cleveland but he reads all the requirements from the beginning he is a person that people will pay to see the ticket to they will also follow him Twitter follow him on his stat line uh you can go to any talk show that talks about the NBA and it's not a talk show them to talk about Donald Mitchell at some point in time here here
's the besides the point here's a person that lays 70 plus points on somebody in the NBA games it was a historic night in Cleveland and he ain't been here but in less than a year less than a year he's been here when it comes to representing this community and the sports town that this is you have to be iconic so when you talk about facing Cleveland sports Jim Brown is the ultimate face of Cleveland sports there's no question of that right LeBron James is or was the face of Cleveland sports there
's no doubt about that but in this new cast of anybody that's sitting out here Donald Mitchell is the guy now if he it only gets enhanced if he delivers on the first round Victory here and there's a serious push in the playoffs but there is not anyone that I can think of and that has any alignment to Sports in this town and sports across this country that does not recognize the talent that Donald Mitchell is this is why we gave up all that real estate to bring him here so you hear Jason with Nic
k Chubb you heard Brad going with Donovan Mitchell let's hear from bull who's taking a different route and a different answer to this exact same question it's very easy um if it were my own personal thing I'd probably choose Jose Ramirez because he's the best player in the city but I'm not speaking for just me I'm speaking for the entire city of Cleveland and the face of Cleveland sports is obviously DeShaun Watson um the Browns are by far the most popular team in Cleveland there's no debating t
hat there's no denying that it's even silly for me to say it because it's so obvious the Browns are a million times more popular than the guardians or Cavs we can be angry about that or we can him and Hong get pissed off doesn't matter that's the bottom line and you win in the NFL with a great quarterback now DeSean Watson sucked last year I've heard some people say no I wasn't that bad yeah he was he was awful but I anticipate he will get back to being a pro bowl caliber quarterback this season
and if that happens he's going to be huge he was already talked about more than almost any other athlete last year where he barely played and he sucked if he actually plays good this year which is my expectation it's obvious he becomes the face of the city so I guess you could argue on today's date maybe he's not quite there yet you could argue against it uh because you better argue against it now because in a couple of months or six months when they start playing it won't even be a debate anym
ore for now I could see the other arguments but I would still take the Sean Watson right now he's the quarterback he's a great talent on the best on the most popular team in Cleveland it's easy that DeSean Watson is the face of Cleveland sports and hopefully he will actually earn that this football season y'all know this bull had 255 on the bench behind him that was his warm-up said no man he better stop Bullard being a dislocated his upper body that's a little bit Hank off the side just we'll b
e hurting don't do that picking both shoulders he's not doing that I need a pitch out he's standing here he said hey I need one of y'all did nobody answered the chat yet that means ain't nobody trying to do it right right right right so with that being said we've had four different answers now and G you actually think it might be someone else before we vote on it before we get to the chats vote you want to make the fifth and final case for the potential face of Cleveland sports today y'all cats
is out of here this is actually the easiest one you go ahead Mark this up for your boy the people's chair get ready chat because this is easy as easy as pie first of all out of all the people we name none of those guys were the number one overall pick miles Garrett was first overall not for the Browns Anthony Bennett was the number one overall pick too but guess what we gonna rattle this off first of all in the NFL first of all uh miles Garrett is the only person in any of those lists that have
a record he's already the all-time leading sack record older for the Browns at a position that's a premium positioning defensive end second of all uh I could go see DeShaun Watson if DeShaun Watson didn't have a lot of baggage and DeSean Watson was drafted here and if DeShaun Watson played well last year and if DeSean Watson didn't have a really big time all those things are looked at as people being like can you imagine going to the stadium and say hey this lady said to Sean Watson no there's h
alf the population here that's still jury's still out on it uh you you take a look at Jose Ramirez love Jose love it by default Jay you wasted a pic why would you waste a pick on Jose Ramirez that was a personal pick you know good and well they still trying to get raffle tickets doing 50 50 to get people in the stands there ain't even enough people you've seen Jose Ramirez play nah that's not gonna work Nick Chubb love Nick Chubb to be at the face of something you actually have to talk you actua
lly have to tweet do interviews like go around maybe say something hey miles Garrett be at your Pro Bowl Duncan basketballs backwards everyone knows who he is Miles Garrett be at the beach taking his shirt off with all his abs everywhere pause miles Garrett for better or worse driving fast liking dinosaurs quarterbacks in his front yard and flipping cars and he flipped the car and didn't die this man is indestructible miles Gare is one of the best players in the league PFF has him upgraded the t
op overall player for the Browns PFF also has him rated the top overall defensive end at a premium position it's not even close miles Garrett is the only guy on this list by the way that probably could play another professional sport two of them he can at least be a professional bodybuilder at the end of the day miles Garrett brings back the most of the trade miles Garrett is what it is it's easy he's the face of Cleveland sports that is five different answers five different compelling arguments
and I think five different options that could be voted as number one before we get to the full vote you guys have now heard all five yeah is there anyone Brett anyone you would like to eliminate from this conversation I think that everybody put it for for good a good candidate right because the diversity in the group right and then I think that everybody made good points I I want to see what the public has to say Jason before we get the public do you have any anything you want to add who are yo
u going to eliminate Jason I'm gonna say eliminate but we talked beforehand you told me you thought it should be Jose but it's chub yeah I thought it should be Jose he's the best player on his team in town as far as I'm concerned he's the only one catching MVP MVP votes year in and year out so it should be Jose it's not Jose I don't think uh it probably will never be a guardian unfortunately I don't think Donovan's been here long enough to really establish that and I just I I really think it's N
ick it was I mean that was the first thing that came to my mind when this came up was Nick well we have the poll results and these poll results are brought To Us by our good friends I'm gonna make this the most dramatic PCC read y'all I've ever heard are you looking for a job with career advancement and great benefits well PCC airfoils is the leading manufacturer in Northeast Ohio all locations of PCC Air Force in East Lake Mentor weekly then Minerva are hiring for positions starting at 18 and u

DeSean Watson no okay that's where it should be 20 of the vote right we're saying we say 20. Jose all right thank you Steve I feel like I need to hold the lottery balls like when they
put the envelope down 29 percent one Nicholas Chubb and the winner with 35 percent Donovan Mitchell wow that is amazing stole the vote okay what about miles you either didn't register or Jason I only get four options when making a poll on YouTube [Laughter] I did not know that Mitchell do Mitchell for Smiles that is they stole them they really did steal the boat you can't do just you all the Browns you can't go from take out Watson put the four up take out watching [Laughter] hold on I was just
