Obamacare Relied On Stupid Americans, Plus Browns, Cavs, Buckeyes, & Indians Chatter.

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes special guest Ben Weinbroer to discuss politics AND sports:

– Jonathan Gruber recordings have surfaced over the past week documenting where he repeatedly calls Americans stupid for allowing Obamacare to pass. We play one of the clips. Take a listen.
– Why did Ebola disappear from the news cycle?
– How “in bed” with the media is the Obama administration?
– Was Obamacare always set up to be a Trojan Horse to sneak in a single-payer healthcare system?
– We just witnessed one of the historic beatdowns we have ever seen with the recent Congressional elections. This was essentially a repudiation of the Obamacare law.
– Could the Supreme Court strike down the ACA?

In Sports:
– The Kansas City Royals were alleged to have been using expired, moldy, & bug infested food.
– In Seattle, tests were taken on all of the draft beer selections, & they were all under the reported alcohol content, or “watered down”.
– Could unsafe & deceptive practices be occurring at your favorite stadium?
– What have we learned about the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first couple of weeks of the NBA season?
– The Cleveland Browns dismantled the Cincinnati Bengals on the road in prime time, & now host the Houston Texans as AFC North Division leaders.
– What has been the main reason for the Browns success this season & will they make the playoffs?
– Wouldn’t it be cool if the Browns started adding “dawg bone” stickers to their helmets for big plays like the Buckeyes do?
– Should Ohio State Buckeyes QB JT Barrett be in the Heisman conversation, & do the Bucks deserve a shot at the playoffs?
– Indians pitcher Corey Kluber wins the American League Cy Young. How bright is his future, & what do the Tribe need to do to make the playoffs next year?

Is Kevin Love To Cavs A Done Deal? NBA Scout Zak Baris Joins Host Brian Engelman.

“The Unhappy Hour” host Brian Engelman once again welcomes NBA scout Zak Baris to discuss if the Kevin Love to Cleveland Cavaliers is already a “done-deal” trade.

– Why can’t the Cavs just keep Andrew Wiggins & sign Kevin Love next offseason for nothing?
– Who else could be included in the Timberwolves deal to the Cavs? Could we see Mo Williams rejoin Andy & LeBron in Cleveland?
– How smart of an idea is it for Kevin Love to sit out the IOC basketball tournament with a potential trade looming in 3 weeks? (shortly after recording this show, Paul George suffered a gruesome leg injury proving that it is VERY smart to sit this tournament out).
– Is it insane to think that Ravens RB Ray Rice has been suspended for 2 games for knocking out his girlfriend on video & dragging her from an elevator, while Browns WR Josh Gordon might be banned for a full season for testing slightly over the limit for weed (which he blames on second hand smoke exposure), after already passing 70 drug tests.
– Will the Clippers sale just become final already?
– Why were the Cleveland Indians “sellers” at the trade deadline (shipping P Justin Masterson & SS Asdrubal Cabrera away).
– What should we make of a Browns fan urinating on the grave of former Browns owner Art Modell?

Plus: Just for the fun of it, let’s review the 2009 NBA draft to see how that has worked out for all of the teams and players 5 years later.
