    Love Goldhammer. He is intelligent and speaks his own mind. Keep it up and yes you can talk about masks and vaccinations that affect not only sports figures but all of us. Keep up the good sports talk Goldhammer.

    Overall, I love the show and have been listening to AM 850 since the days of Mike Wolfe, Greg Brinda, and Kenny Rhoda. I also understand that sales ads pay the bills. I already despise the live reads, for companies that I won't mention, that are read over and over and over. So much so that I'm about to scream. But can you at least stop running the following taped commercials??? The one with Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin, where Conklin is protecting the city's favorite quarterback??? Neither are true!!! Also the commercial where Fontana says "all signs are pointing to Los Angeles. Are you kidding me, all of us!?!? I don't know about any other listener, but all these two commercials do is remind me how bad this season has gone. Any message they were to convey is completely lost in the disappointment and anger that they actually cause. Like I said, at least for me. If there's any way, PLEASE stop running them.

    Browns are winless this year when Baker throws more than he hands off.

    The Browns are above 500 and still in thick of Playoff Hunt. Sometimes I listen to this station and wonder if the guys on broadcast are Browns fans? Seem to be negative at times even though Browns still in Hunt for Playoffs!! Let’s SUPPORT & ROOT ON THE BROWNS!! 🏈LETS GO BROWNS 🏈👍🏈

    I say in your face Emmet and and Hammer. The Browns look like addition by subtraction like Doug Dieken said. Baker showed he has no problem throwing the deep accurate pass. Its nice to have receivers catch the passes they are supposed to catch great game Browns love ya. Baker your the man never lost faith in you. Emmet has always been a baker hater, Hammer you lost all rights to talk quarterback with you Johnny stuff.

    Residing 25 miles north of Cincinnati, and being a lifelong Cleveland fan, I listen to this station every weekday and especially on victory Mondays. Over the years I have come to rely on Rizz for misery loves company days. Since Covid I have noticed they tend to get a little political. They need to stop talking about vaccines, masks & mandates. Stick to sports guys.

    Goldham is a clown....quit breast feeding the fool and send him off to find out how popular he REALLY is. his whole time at 850 has been piggy backing on others, mostly Riz. Dump the chump and tell his mom and kid that no one likes the ice ballerina.

    5 stars for Rizz and Chris. -5 for Goldhammer -- cannot stand that guy. The fact that he generates so much unfavorable comment is not a reason to listen. I live in the Detroit area and listen to the show to get info on Cleveland sports. So I have to put up with the Goldhammer clown. When Rizz is gone, I get my info elsewhere.

    This is more of a clown show than a espn radio station. Listening to matt fontana reminds me of being stuck on a public bus. Aaron goldhammer is an example of the stations over all lack of professionalism. And just google tony rizzos name... i want to hear about my sports teams not be embarrassed for these guys fumbling through a sports talk show

    Way too many commercials that ran way too long. Every time you broke for commercial I would miss several minutes of the game when it resumed which was extremely annoying during a close game. I have now switched radio broadcasts.

    I know a lot of Browns fans are really hard on Aaron and on some level I guess I could see it (maybe) however I really do appreciate the fact that he has always been true to himself and his take on things. It makes it interesting weather you are a fan of Aaron's or not and that is something to respect given how much crap he takes from the fan base. I don't always agree with him, but given everything that is happening in this county and the world---A little compassion is really needed right now.

    Aaron,please apply for the post in Denver, we Clevelander's are tired of your act! You do a very poor job over-all. Job preparedness is not your strong suit. Your arrogant-silver spoon mentality is not a Cleveland trait,we are hard working blue color city who would give the shirt off our backs for our neighbor, a concept that you'll never grasp a hold of! So please just ride off into the Denver dope clouds. Never to be heard again in Cleveland.

    Is Greg Williams an option? Team seemed more disciplined during the end of last year. I think he's a "tougher" kind of coach.

    Inexperience lack of leadership egos undisciplined ! Decisions poor! Everything bad and getting worse. Mayfield cant see the entire field! Hes jumpy. O line play weak and the lack of tackling on defense!

    Really Johnny Manziel ?? Besides a way better accurate and stronger arm, finishing 2nd Rookie of the year sure he not playing as well but that's a lazy and idiotic take

    Mike Rizzo was hooorible doing the game with his DAD , who I have met numerous times . Tony Rizzo is a great dude. mikey needs to do games with other guys other than DAD! I was ready to puke with his dad comments. it's WAY TOO MUCH DAD COMMENTS . dude you have are great future that your DAD laid out for you , don't F it up. You did your first and hopefully last game with DAD. just being constructive. don't take it personal. listen to your tape it's juke. Golic jr is my dude. he doesn't over kill DAD views or comments .

    How did Raiders wrs and Cook find space so often? How are backs not shadowing them? Are they playing zone? If they were then quit it because it obviously didn't work. Watched backs let their wrs just run past them while they set off in some other direction. Why can't we do that? Find an area where you've got space and just plant. Also, Baker is going long too often. How about just first downs all the way down the field? Also, Chubb should start. Hue seems to insist on egalitarianism, but win not network.
