Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Moneymnet on seven hundred Wlwhy.
Speaker 2: We say good morning once more to genis Ervetti from
Speaker 2: the Bloomberg newsroom in New York City, Gina. A major
Speaker 2: merger announced today involving consumer products.
Speaker 3: That's right, it's not Procter and Gamble, but a competitor.
Speaker 3: Kimberly Clark has agreed to buy tailan all maker ken View,
Speaker 3: and a cash and stock deal that values the consumer
Speaker 3: health company at about forty billion dollars. Kimberly Clark shareholders
Speaker 3: would own about fifty four percent of the combined entity.
Speaker 3: Kenview shareholders are getting the rest. Kenview's portfolio also includes
Speaker 3: new Trigina and band Aid, but it's struggled since it
Speaker 3: was spun off from Johnson and Johnson. With this acquisition, though,
Speaker 3: kimberly Clark would become the second largest consumer products maker
Speaker 3: behind Procter and Gamble. However, the deal here with Kenview
Speaker 3: could be complicated because of something we've talked about here,
Speaker 3: the Trump Administration's attax on thailanol, which is Kenview's biggest product.
Speaker 2: While a cybersecurity firm says hackers are infiltrating logistics firms
Speaker 2: to steal their goods.
Speaker 3: Yes, hackers are infiltrating trucking and freight companies in a
Speaker 3: scheme to steal and then sell those cargo shipments. The
Speaker 3: cybersecurity company proof Point says it believes hackers are working
Speaker 3: with organized crime to pull off these thefts. The stolen
Speaker 3: items are likely sold online or shipped overseas. The National
Speaker 3: Insurance Crime Bureau TOM says cargo theft losses rose by
Speaker 3: twenty seven percent last year. They're expected to continue to
Speaker 3: go up, and the bureau estimates that cargo theft amounts
Speaker 3: to thirty five billion in losses every year.
Speaker 4: And the futures this morning, genis Cervetti.
Speaker 3: While they're mostly higher, the Dow futures have taken a
Speaker 3: bit of a dip here. They're down sixty two points,
Speaker 3: not too bad. SMP futures up fourteen. Nasdaq futures are
Speaker 3: up one hundred and thirty five from Bloomberg. Genas Cervetti
Speaker 3: on news radio seven hundred WLW.
Speaker 2: All right, it is eight ten, straight up, and we
Speaker 2: do it the morning after and that's what we call it.
Speaker 2: The morning after the morning after the Bengals play. And
Speaker 2: kind enough to join us each and every week former
Speaker 2: Bengal great Tim McGee. Tim, you and I were texting
Speaker 2: yesterday during the game. In all your years of football,
Speaker 2: have you seen anything like the last five minutes of
Speaker 2: that game yesterday?
Speaker 5: Unfortunately I have not, And when we were at texting yesterday,
Speaker 5: I just kept noticing the tears falling on my cell
Speaker 5: phone as I was as the excruciating pain of watching
Speaker 5: them lose in another just absolutely embarrassing, humiliating way that again,
Speaker 5: never seen in all my years of watching football, and
Speaker 5: it's been over thirty years, so it's very disappointing.
Speaker 2: All right, So Tim, the natural question is, you know,
Speaker 2: what do you do next? You're not going to be
Speaker 2: able to overhaul and let's start with a defense. You're
Speaker 2: not going to be able to overhaul the players between
Speaker 2: now and the next game after next weekend, off the
Speaker 2: bye week. What in the world is Zach Taylor and
Speaker 2: Al Golden? What are they supposed to do?
Speaker 6: Well?
Speaker 5: I tell you what they are in like the worst
Speaker 5: case scenario that there possibly can be. You're in the
Speaker 5: middle of the season and you don't want to per se,
Speaker 5: give up, you don't want to just pack it in.
Speaker 5: But if they're looking at things in a realistic manner.
Speaker 5: They must try to weed out the players that they
Speaker 5: feel or are going to be a part of the future,
Speaker 5: especially on the defensive side. Who can play in this scheme.
Speaker 5: You're trying different combinations or they're trying different combinations, and
Speaker 5: obviously nothing is working. So you've tried to outscore the
Speaker 5: opponent by scoring forty plus points and you're still losing.
Speaker 5: You're losing every way possible. So you know, when you
Speaker 5: go back or the coach just go back into that
Speaker 5: lab on Monday morning, it's really difficult because typically you say, okay,
Speaker 5: you know, there's four or five plays here. If we
Speaker 5: just move this guy here, if we just do this,
Speaker 5: that could be a potential remedy for the problems we're having.
Speaker 5: They just have so many holes in the boat that
Speaker 5: I just don't know if they're going to be able
Speaker 5: to say afloat. It's just going to be tough because
Speaker 5: next time is the morale of the team, and you
Speaker 5: can tell when they're walking to that locker room. Brother,
Speaker 5: they ain't no sugarcoat nets. The players are down.
Speaker 2: You know when and you were an offensive star, wide
Speaker 2: receiver return man, you know when you walk off the
Speaker 2: field you're very frustrated. The powers that be try to
Speaker 2: give you a ten or a fifteen minute just cooling
Speaker 2: off period for lack of a better term, before the
Speaker 2: media is allowed in the locker room.
Speaker 4: After a game.
Speaker 2: Do you ever recall you sitting there and seeing, you
Speaker 2: know what, I'm tired of this stuff, and it's time
Speaker 2: for me to say something about it. Because I was
Speaker 2: stunned by some of the comments made by Chase Brown,
Speaker 2: who normally you know, very upbeat, positive guy, likable guy,
Speaker 2: and then some of the comments by Jamar Chase I mean,
Speaker 2: or lack thereof from Jamar Chase. Have you ever been
Speaker 2: in that situation or been around guys where you're walking
Speaker 2: back to the locker room after a game and you're going, man,
Speaker 2: I'm unloading today.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Oh, there's no question about it. And here's the
Speaker 5: toughest part about it is, typically it's an offensive versus
Speaker 5: defensive thing. You get so frustrated, and you know, back
Speaker 5: in my day that our offense did carry our team.
Speaker 5: There was no question about that. But you know, obviously
Speaker 5: the defense did step up from time to time. But
Speaker 5: when you have these and it's not just one game,
Speaker 5: it's a whole season, it's a season that they are experiencing. Now, yes,
Speaker 5: you do sit there as a human being, going, man,
Speaker 5: I can't take this no more. You start having thoughts,
Speaker 5: I'm calling my agent, I'm getting out of here. I
Speaker 5: want out. How can we get this together because you've
Speaker 5: already had them stupid team meetings to closed door meeting
Speaker 5: where you scream at each other. You try this and
Speaker 5: you realize, you realize only one thing is going to
Speaker 5: fix this, and this is talent, and we don't have
Speaker 5: the talent. Yes, I love my buddies, Johnny, Bobby and Tommy.
Speaker 5: I love them, They're my buddies. I hang out with them.
Speaker 5: But guess what, they're not getting it done. And we're
Speaker 5: over here busting our butts off to score forty points
Speaker 5: and all we're doing is looking at the track meet
Speaker 5: where we can. By the time we sit down and
Speaker 5: have a drink a gatorade, we're back on the field
Speaker 5: because the other team that scored. So yes, it's but
Speaker 5: it's human nature. It's human nature, and neither are some
Speaker 5: of the most competitive people you can ever be around.
Speaker 5: So it's to be expected.
Speaker 6: You know.
Speaker 2: We talked about how we both agree that uh Lou
Speaker 2: and Roumo was made basically to be the scapegoat for
Speaker 2: this franchise, and what happened on defense last year they
Speaker 2: run him out of town. We know he's done a
Speaker 2: great job in Indiana. I know they lost yesterday, but
Speaker 2: he's done a great job up there. And Al Golden
Speaker 2: comes in. But you have the players that you have,
Speaker 2: you know the and o's of this sport as well
Speaker 2: as anybody out there. I mean, is there really anything
Speaker 2: at the end of the day. Is Al Golden taking
Speaker 2: a beating and there's nothing he can do about it?
Speaker 5: Yes, he's taken a beating and there's absolutely nothing he
Speaker 5: can do about I don't care what type of scheme
Speaker 5: or stematics or philosophies you have. As a coordinator, you
Speaker 5: are just putting the pieces into places. Now it takes
Speaker 5: a it's another level to go out and execute and execute,
Speaker 5: in this case being the Bengals defense. You gotta tackle,
Speaker 5: you gotta tackle, you gotta tackle, you gotta tackle. You
Speaker 5: got to prevent big chunk plays and then that's just
Speaker 5: not happened. So when you look at Al Golden, which
Speaker 5: I think his name is going to be Al Brond,
Speaker 5: and he's heading in the wrong directions. But when you
Speaker 5: look at him, you're looking at a guy that's going
Speaker 5: to you have to blame someone. You got to get
Speaker 5: the fans to red meat, and the red meat is
Speaker 5: going to be Al Golton. Oh, it's his defense. Well,
Speaker 5: how about the players. But here's the problem. There are
Speaker 5: no one that's sitting on the streets right now that
Speaker 5: used to be or aspiring to be an NFL defensive
Speaker 5: player that can.
Speaker 4: Help the Bengals.
Speaker 5: The only people that can help themselves is the people
Speaker 5: in that locker room. And there is just no zero
Speaker 5: substitution for talent and they do not have the talent.
Speaker 5: And Tom when you look at them, you got like
Speaker 5: the Jacksons, They're they're like the Jacksons. Do you got
Speaker 5: Trey Henderson being Michael? And then you got this group
Speaker 5: of guys that you know, they don't know if they
Speaker 5: can carry themselves. And that's that's just the reality. You
Speaker 5: have to face reality. Don't be delusional because you're emotionally
Speaker 5: attached to a football team and it's your it's your
Speaker 5: local team. You love them to death, But just huge
Speaker 5: reality and resett your thinking.
Speaker 2: Look, I have not been the number one fan of
Speaker 2: Zach Taylor through the years and and that's neither here
Speaker 2: nor there. But I do feel for him in this
Speaker 2: situation and that he is the only guy as far
Speaker 2: as quote unquote may management is concerned, that is stepping
Speaker 2: forward and having to answer these questions every day to
Speaker 2: the media. I'll have a press conference again today every
Speaker 2: game after the game, and it was just it was
Speaker 2: it was painful watching him try to answer those questions
Speaker 2: after the game yesterday. Now, the Bengals have made it
Speaker 2: policy for a long long time that the owner or
Speaker 2: Duke Tobin in this case, will not do interviews during
Speaker 2: the season. In that locker room. It doesn't matter what
Speaker 2: I think, it doesn't matter what you think. But as
Speaker 2: a player in that locker room, what it means something
Speaker 2: for Duke Tobin to step up there and address some
Speaker 2: of these questions from the press.
Speaker 5: No, and here's the reason Tom. Players don't want to
Speaker 5: be gas like it anymore. You get that that BF speech.
Speaker 5: You know, the coach comes in every time and it
Speaker 5: gives you this. You know five minutes or things are
Speaker 5: going to be okay. And at some point time and
Speaker 5: they're far beyond that. Now, Well, words doesn't matter. We're
Speaker 5: looking at actions. We're looking at the results ultimately. Like
Speaker 5: I said, Tom, You've got fifty three of the most
Speaker 5: competitive human beings on the face of the earth. They're
Speaker 5: not going to settle for faith time and talk time.
Speaker 5: They want wins. And when you look at like I said,
Speaker 5: you look at Jamar Chase and Joe Flacco and T
Speaker 5: Higgins walking to the locker room, man, I mean, it
Speaker 5: just looks so depressing. So I don't think management can
Speaker 5: do anything at this point in time. The only people
Speaker 5: that can really have an effect are the people that's
Speaker 5: inside that locker room. And that's just not good news
Speaker 5: for the fan base.
Speaker 2: You know, Look, you played wide receiver extraordinarily. Well do
Speaker 2: you find yourself sometimes marveling at some of the plays
Speaker 2: that these two wide receivers, especially on the Bengals make.
Speaker 2: I mean, I watched T Higgins yesterday. I still cannot
Speaker 2: believe both of his touchdowns.
Speaker 5: Oh you know, it's funny you said that, Tom, And
Speaker 5: that's such an excellent question because I look at that
Speaker 5: and I marvel at their athleticisms, their attitude, their approach,
Speaker 5: their competitiveness. You know, every ball they're competing for the
Speaker 5: ball A fifty fifty ball, if not fifty fifty with them,
Speaker 5: you know, it's probably eighty twenty in their favor and
Speaker 5: just to watch them. But this is what I'm this,
Speaker 5: This is exactly what I'm saying. This is what we
Speaker 5: knew we were going to have at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the season. We knew to have a show of entertainers
Speaker 5: Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow, and t Higgins, and we knew this.
Speaker 5: We knew Trey Hendrickson will come around in make some tackles.
Speaker 5: But we also didn't think they had a complete football team.
Speaker 5: We did not think, unless you was delusional, that this
Speaker 5: is the team that can compete on the offensive side
Speaker 5: and the defensive side. They're built to outscore. And guess
Speaker 5: what we never thought outscore. It was mean they need
Speaker 5: to score sixty points while giving up fifty points. Well,
Speaker 5: I don't think any of us was really going down
Speaker 5: that road.
Speaker 2: You know, before I let you go, you know, look,
Speaker 2: you had to retire. You know, you sat down with
Speaker 2: your wife and you guys talked about all the dings
Speaker 2: and the major hits and so forth and your overall
Speaker 2: future health, and you made that decision. Joe Flacco, I
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, man, I've always thought the guy was
Speaker 2: really good. But when you get to be forty, you
Speaker 2: wonder can they keep going? This guy man has been unbelievable.
Speaker 5: I'll tell you one thing, Tom Joe Flacco, he reminds
Speaker 5: me of my last two years in the NFL. I
Speaker 5: was just basically a guy that I might wanted me
Speaker 5: to pretty much coach Carl Pickens and Darnay Scott and
Speaker 5: just mentor those guys be a part of it. You
Speaker 5: were still on the roster. But I remember Carl Pickens
Speaker 5: just like Joe Flacco. Joe Burrow gets hurt, Carl Pickens
Speaker 5: gets hurt. I gotta go into the game. In my
Speaker 5: ninth year, I got to play against the Cleveland Brown
Speaker 5: They end up having one hundred yards a touchdown, and
Speaker 5: I'll never forget it. Like I came to the sideline,
Speaker 5: pick you got to get your ass healthy because I'm
Speaker 5: not doing this. So yeah, Flak always enjoying it. But
Speaker 5: right now he's ready for his clipboard. Probably play about
Speaker 5: the three or four years and play a couple of
Speaker 5: snaps in preseason, grab some checks and go off into
Speaker 5: the sunset and live his life in the Bahamas with
Speaker 5: his beautiful family.
Speaker 4: Good for him. Tim.
Speaker 2: We thank you for your time and your expertise every
Speaker 2: single Monday after or morning after, my friend, I have
Speaker 2: a great rest of your day and a good weekend.
Speaker 5: Appreciate for having me as always.
Speaker 2: Already Tim McGee, former Bengals standout. He just lays it
Speaker 2: out there. I mean he and I were texting during
Speaker 2: the game yesterday, you know, I mean we knew this
Speaker 2: going into the year. Maybe not what happened yesterday, but
Speaker 2: we knew this going into the year. When you spend
Speaker 2: all your money on offense, this is what you're going
Speaker 2: to get. All right, Let's check the roadways. It's been
Speaker 2: a very very busy Monday morning, Chuck Ingram, how are

Speaker 2: Alrighty eight fifty eight forty one seven hundred WLW Welcome
Speaker 2: to the Morning show. Excuse me, you got a little
Speaker 2: uh down the wrong hatch with a glass of water.
Speaker 2: Water's finally turned back on in this building. We do
Speaker 2: it every Monday, Mondays with Marty, the Hall of Famer
Speaker 2: Marty Brewman An Unfortunately, Dad, good morning today, and you
Speaker 2: learned over the weekend. We learned yesterday about the passing
Speaker 2: of your very good friend Bob Trumpy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a sad deal. Tommy's he's had a tough
Speaker 6: in the last year or so, maybe longer than that,
Speaker 6: with his health, and it's been a multitude of things.
Speaker 6: And we had developed a habit, a good habit over
Speaker 6: the last two years or so where he and Kenny
Speaker 6: Fouts and then Chance and we'd get together periodically and
Speaker 6: have ones together and we could tell that things were
Speaker 6: not well with Bob. But still I was stunned that
Speaker 6: I got to work yesterday. Dave Armberwster you had called me,
Speaker 6: text me and said that he had died yesterday morning
Speaker 6: or over the night, you knowing, Well, he was a
Speaker 6: great guy. He was an incredibly talented guy. I mean,
Speaker 6: for my money, he's a guy that really brought sports
Speaker 6: talk radio to the forefront at seven hundred WLW, and
Speaker 6: then after a fine career as a tight end of
Speaker 6: one of the original Bengals, uh, you know, he got
Speaker 6: hooked on with in television ultimately rose to the top
Speaker 6: really because at the time he and Dick Enburgh were
Speaker 6: the number one crew in NFL football for a number
Speaker 6: of years, and Kenny Fouts, you know, was a tremendous
Speaker 6: director of telecast and started at Channel five and went
Speaker 6: on to the net work. It was there number one
Speaker 6: guy forever. And so it was a nice group of
Speaker 6: people that got together and told stories, and I just
Speaker 6: had the greatest respect for him as a person and
Speaker 6: also is a talent.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 4: I'm curious.
Speaker 2: There's an article today you may not have seen it
Speaker 2: in the New York Times about Bob Trumpy, and I
Speaker 2: don't know if you ever had a chance to talk
Speaker 2: to him when you guys were having lunch or whatever
Speaker 2: the case may be about. You know, this article pointed
Speaker 2: out the best call that Bob Trump he ever made
Speaker 2: was the call that some remember, some may not, where
Speaker 2: a woman called in her husband had been drinking, had
Speaker 2: been regularly beating her, and she was contemplating committing suicide,
Speaker 2: and he kept her on the line for two and
Speaker 2: a half hours until authorities. And remember now, it's a
Speaker 2: very different time that we live in now, where it's
Speaker 2: a little bit easier to be able to find somebody.
Speaker 2: Not easy, but easy. Err then, back then, did you
Speaker 2: ever have a chance to talk to him about that
Speaker 2: call at all?
Speaker 6: We never, amazingly we never did. But now that you're
Speaker 6: bringing out that was when he was at w LW radio. Yeah,
Speaker 6: when that happened, I remember it now, I'd forgotten about it. No,
Speaker 6: we never talked about it, but it was an incredibly
Speaker 6: great thing that he did. That Obviously, either people for
Speaker 6: good like I did, or people were never aware of
Speaker 6: what he did to basically save a person's life. I
Speaker 6: don't care who you are, you can keep a desperate
Speaker 6: person on the phone for two hours until help can
Speaker 6: come to take her off. That that suicide desire is
Speaker 6: an incredible thing that was. He was that kind of guy.
Speaker 6: You know, he was a tough guy. He gave that
Speaker 6: impression at times. He was an imposing guy physically, but
Speaker 6: he was just a good guy, you know.
Speaker 2: Dad one thing that he did and look, he had
Speaker 2: a lot of back, but he also had a lot
Speaker 2: of detractors.
Speaker 4: He really went to bat for Pete Rose.
Speaker 6: Well you know what, Tom, he not only went to
Speaker 6: bat for Pete Rose, he went to bat for Greg
Speaker 6: Cook that people don't even are not even aware of.
Speaker 6: I know that that the Bengals were wonderful in what
Speaker 6: they did to try and lift Greg Cook out of
Speaker 6: the demons that he had to deal with until he
Speaker 6: passed away. But Bob was instrumental in making that connection
Speaker 6: between the Bengals and the desperate situation that Greg Cook
Speaker 6: was in. And he was the type of guy that
Speaker 6: never you know, he never found his own chest and
Speaker 6: said look what I did, But he did and Pete
Speaker 6: was the same way he took at the time, in
Speaker 6: the eyes of many people, a very popular stance as
Speaker 6: far as Pete was concerned, and he never wavered from it.
Speaker 6: He never, ever, one time gave any oppression to anyone
Speaker 6: that maybe I'd better rethink this thing. He did. He
Speaker 6: went to bat singularly as singularly in the sense that
Speaker 6: he never backed off of what he felt was the
Speaker 6: right thing to do as far as Rose was concerned.
Speaker 6: Despite all the people saying that the guy would be
Speaker 6: thrown out.
Speaker 4: For all time, you know, I'm not so sure.
Speaker 2: When it comes to his television work, I'm not so sure,
Speaker 2: and many have said that this is true. From his
Speaker 2: playing days, Paul Grown used to say this that Paul
Speaker 2: Brown thought Bob Trumpy was as good an athlete as
Speaker 2: any wide receiver there was out there, so that Bob
Speaker 2: Trumpy actually became the first tight end in the history
Speaker 2: of professional football that did not line up every play
Speaker 2: right next to the tackle, either left tackle or right tackle.
Speaker 2: Paul Brown would move him in the slot to become
Speaker 2: more of a target in the passing game. I'm not
Speaker 2: so sure that he wasn't maybe the number one pioneer.
Speaker 2: Everybody talks about John Madden, who was off the charts, unbelievable,
Speaker 2: no debate about it. I'm not so sure that Trump,
Speaker 2: He wasn't the first guy on television as an analyst
Speaker 2: that actually became critical of coaches, players, situations where a
Speaker 2: lot of other guys dad you know, you know, that
Speaker 2: wasn't the deal back then, and it's certainly not the
Speaker 2: deal now.
Speaker 6: Well it is. But also and I think you may
Speaker 6: exactly you maybe one hundred percent correct, but the thing was,
Speaker 6: as you well know, and it is truly and it's
Speaker 6: true today as it was then. Although you're right about
Speaker 6: the frankness and the candidates of former athletes in a
Speaker 6: particular sport that had the chance to go and do
Speaker 6: TV or radio or whatever the case might be. But
Speaker 6: a lot of these guys also are very, very reluctant
Speaker 6: to do it because they are fresh off the field.
Speaker 6: They still are close to a lot of guys that
Speaker 6: are putting the uniform on and going out and playing
Speaker 6: every day or every weekend, whatever the case might be.
Speaker 6: Bob was never like that. Bob was able to walk
Speaker 6: away from the field, get involved in broadcasting and never
Speaker 6: be afraid to offer up criticism if criticism were warranted.
Speaker 6: As you well know, there are guys today that gets
Speaker 6: started that they have to they have to gradually evolve
Speaker 6: into the kind of analyst that Trump he was and
Speaker 6: John Madden was. But he never had that problem. He
Speaker 6: went right to it, and ninety nine point nine percent
Speaker 6: of the time the criticism that he offered up on
Speaker 6: radio or television was warranted. You're right, he may well
Speaker 6: have been the pioneered despite the fact he gets no
Speaker 6: credit for it.
Speaker 2: Yep, all right, let's shift gears to better things. College basketball.
Speaker 2: You're a big fan starts up in Earnest tonight.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 2: I know you're going to be because you run without
Speaker 2: high faluting crowd. I know you're going to be down
Speaker 2: there in Chapel Hill. You're alma mater for Carolina v. Kansas.
Speaker 2: That is a big time game Friday night.

Speaker 6: where I went to school and where my loyalties will
Speaker 6: lie Friday night. But it should be an interesting game.
