WWE Superstar The Miz Predicts Shedeur Sanders Lead Browns to the Super Bowl | The Rich Eisen Show

0:00 He is the Miz, ladies and gentlemen.

0:01 Uh, WWE superstar in advance of the WWE Backlash streaming live this Saturday.

0:07 What's up, brother?

0:08 How are you?

0:09 I'll wait all day, every day just to be interviewed by you.

0:12 So, I am ready to go.

0:14 I am happy.

0:15 Uh, I am unhappy of the fact that the Cavs uh lost game one.

0:19 There was a sloppy game, a lot of turnovers,

0:22 but I think the Cavs beat themselves.

0:24 The Pistons did not beat the Cavs.

0:25 The Cavs beat the Cavs.

0:26 So, as long as the Cavs can turn it around,

0:29 I think that they're going to go to the NBA Finals.

0:31 Well, listen, I always know you think

0:34 the Cleveland teams can go always all the way,

0:37 if not undefeated, unblenmished, and unrivaled.

0:41 I understand that.

0:42 Did you hear uh about Donovan Mitchell saying

0:44 that he's not a he's not a flopper?

0:47 That's why he's not getting the calls.

0:48 He's not a flopper.

0:49 So, um he's never been a flopper in Cleveland.

0:52 We don't flop.

0:54 We don't need to flop.

0:55 We're not a bunch of floppers in Cleveland.

0:57 We are hard workers.

0:59 We dedicate ourselves and we strive to win.

1:03 Well, you know what you do?

1:04 You play the long game because you have no choice.

1:06 But listen, uh the long game is this.

1:09 No, by the way, uh did I did I stutter?

1:12 It's all It's all true.

1:13 I mean, he comes in peace, though.

1:15 I I But here I do, too.

1:16 May not sound that way, but I come in peace.

1:19 No, no,

1:21 we all remember No, hold on a minute.

1:23 We remember this face.

1:24 remind this man of this face.

1:26 Um, this face was a man who had just learned that his team was

1:32 passing up the opportunity to trade uh

1:35 to acquire a draft Travis Hunter, willingly trading.

1:38 And that photograph was taken to troll you by Angelo Dawkins.

1:42 Yes.

1:42 Who is definitely nothing in his heart about

1:46 the Cleveland Browns that u at all to be positive.

1:49 But look, hold on a minute.

1:52 One year later, the trade is done and put it up on the screen.

1:57 Mason Graham, Quinn Sean Judkins, Dylan Samson,

2:00 and now Casey Conpsion are in the Browns house.

2:05 And I I don't know.

2:06 Do you have anything to say now back to anybody that was

2:09 having fun at your expense with that photograph and that face?

2:13 Miz, can I be Can I be completely honest with you, please?

2:17 Before the draft, I told myself,

2:21 and this was the first year that I actually said this in in probably like ever,

2:26 I was like, "The Browns aren't going to the Super Bowl this year.

2:30 They're just not.

2:31 We should tank and we should go for Arch Manning.

2:34 That's what we should do." Okay.

2:36 After this draft, we're going to the Super Bowl.

2:39 Like, I don't think you understand.

2:42 I don't think you understand what happened with this draft.

2:45 Andrew Barry, I applaud you.

2:48 My I've never seen anything like this.

2:50 Have you ever seen a better draft?

2:52 I mean, people are like saying, "Oh, the Jets." No.

2:54 No.

2:56 The Cleveland Browns got four first like four first round graded players.

3:01 Four.

3:02 Four.

3:03 We didn't have four first round draft picks.

3:06 But that trade of Travis Hunter, which I was last year,

3:10 that was when I was on the plane and that's the face you saw.

3:13 I wanted Travis Hunter.

3:15 Thank you for being more knowledgeable than me, Andrew Barry,

3:19 to know that the future is what we're looking for.

3:23 And these players that we have gotten from that trade, unbelievable.

3:28 We have playmakers, we have blockers, now we just need a quarterback.

3:33 And here's what I'm thinking.

3:34 And I know a lot of people are going, "Oh, Watson might be back.

3:38 Get rid I we don't need him.

3:40 I don't want him.

3:41 I want Shrader.

3:42 I want to give Shadur the entire season and see what we have in him.

3:48 And if we don't have what we need,

3:50 I hear there's a lot of good quarterbacks coming on this next draft.

3:54 Let's go get one.

3:55 But let's give Shadur a chance to be a franchise

3:59 player because I feel and I don't know about anybody else,

4:01 but I feel he has taken Cleveland as his community.

4:07 And whenever someone comes into Cleveland, you have to represent Cleveland.

4:11 And I feel like he's been doing that.

4:13 He does the little things around the community

4:16 that a lot of people may see or may not see,

4:18 but I I look at on social and I'll be like, "Wow,

4:21 he's really being a part of the community." And that I love.

4:25 And so I want the Cleveland Browns to do well.

4:28 I think they have everything they need to do well and I think

4:31 they will do well and I think they're going to the Super Bowl.

4:34 And you laugh at me right now.

4:36 You laugh.

4:38 You have a big smile on your face.

4:40 Yeah.

4:41 Huh?

4:43 But wait, you just wait.

4:46 Okay.

4:46 Until next year, right?

4:48 We're sitting here talking again.

4:50 Yes, sir.

4:51 And I am bragging that the Cleveland Browns are the Super Bowl champions.

4:56 You know what?

4:56 I got You know what?

4:58 I got to applaud.

4:59 You got to got to give it up.

5:00 Thank you.

5:01 Gota give That's the level of delusion I have.

5:05 Delusion.

5:05 It's not delusion.

5:06 I love it.

5:07 But I I I hear you.

5:09 Um, and I don't think anybody capes for Shadore more than I do.

5:15 Um, because I'm I've known him since he was

5:18 a kneeh high to a jack rabbit to use a phrase.

5:22 Um, and so he and obviously I love Dion and the whole family.

5:26 He does have an opportunity.

5:28 I would imagine I imagine they'll give him that opportunity.

5:30 He's got to ball out in training camp and do everything because if I'm

5:34 the Browns and I've poured out so much capital and time and taken so much

5:40 crap and so much grief for acquiring

5:43 Deshawn Watson and I've spent all that money

5:46 and he's you got one more year to see what you have in him.

5:49 I I I it would be way too enticing for me

5:53 to not kick that tire in week one and see how it goes.

5:57 Um because he does have have the neck on would think

6:01 I think you got a flat tire and you just need

6:04 to put it in the trunk and get that new tire in.

6:08 Okay.

6:07 Put it on.

6:08 Shadur is it.

6:09 What do you think Shadur is missing?

6:11 Like you've known him since he was a child.

6:13 Experience.

6:13 Experience.

6:13 Experience.

6:14 Is that what it is?

6:15 Then why aren't we giving him the experience?

6:16 No, I know that because because you have something else um where

6:21 you're otherwise potentially ready to go at these young guys and then

6:24 you got to also see how how the the rest

6:26 of the team and obviously Todd Mon will have to take that temperature.

6:30 How does the rest of the team respond?

6:32 Like do they didn't Monin want him?

6:34 He said that when he walked in the office, but you know, Miz,

6:38 you've been around this town long enough to know what people say

6:40 to your face and what it really means behind your back, too.

6:42 I I don't know.

6:43 So, you think he's two-faced?

6:44 I'm You know what?

6:45 I I shouldn't say such things.

6:47 It could be something that that might be um genuine.

6:50 I did see that um that that that exchange.

6:53 I shouldn't say that.

6:54 Um even though I just did.

6:56 I I I don't know.

6:58 I understand.

6:59 Do you think you speak for all Browns fans that you

7:01 want to see the kid rather than Deshaawn Watson again?

7:03 You uh from me and my friends and my friends are all from Cleveland.

7:07 I think we all whenever Deshawn was brought to Cleveland,

7:10 we all went and we all liked Baker Mayfield.

7:15 I think like talking to my friends and being able to go to the American

7:19 Century Championship and play golf with Baker Mayfield

7:22 and see what he's like around everybody else, that's a guy I can get behind.

7:27 Like that's a guy that I want to hang out with and I want to play football with.

7:32 And he's just a ride-or- die type of person.

7:34 He has the moxy that is Cleveland or was Cleveland

7:37 and then we trade him away to get this what's supposed

7:40 to be a franchise quarterback that just basically has been broken

7:44 ever since he's gotten to Cleveland and it's been an annoyance.

7:47 It's been uh negative publicity and you know you

7:51 bring in Shadore which I don't know if that's

7:53 even better publicity or not but I mean I look at him and I go this guy has

7:59 a star and a father that has been training him since he was a kid to be

8:04 a star to to take with the pressure

8:06 of of what it is to be an NFL franchise quarterback.

8:12 So he knows what that pressure is.

8:13 he knows how to do it and it's just being able to do it.

8:17 And now that he has the team that literally has the playmakers,

8:21 it has the blocking and I think they

8:23 do have the coach and the defense is unreal.

8:27 What's stopping them from literally saying, "Okay, this guy needs experience.

8:31 Let's give him this full season to do that.

8:33 He's gotten to sit a little bit.

8:35 He should have enough time by now." Right?

8:37 that literally has given him the experience to be

8:40 a good solid quarterback and everyone has a bad first year.

8:44 Like his first year,

8:45 his first time I saw his first game with the Raiders and I was like,

8:49 "This guy's got spark.

8:50 There's something about the team that when he plays with him,

8:52 there's a spark now.

8:54 There's a lot of turnovers, but Pton Manning had a lot of turnovers as well." Y

8:58 So why are we saying, "Oh, Pton Manning's this guy,

9:01 but then why not Shadur this guy?" Like I know one's fifth round,

9:04 one's a first round, but I don't know, man.

9:08 I say give it give him the ball and let's see him see what he can do.

9:11 Yeah.

9:11 Well, let's see how that plays out.

9:12 Hey, you made it all the way to the end.

9:14 Thanks for that.
