## Resource

Freshly retired Browns guard Joel Bitonio joins Ken and Anthony to reflect on his 12-year career, sharing his toughest moments including the devastating playoff loss in Houston and the 0-16 season early in his career. Bitonio opens up about his Hall of Fame case, his plans post-football, and why he didn't want to pull a Brett Favre with his retirement decision. He also weighs in on the Browns' quarterback competition, stopping short of picking a starter but making clear that finding the right QB is the key to Cleveland's future.
