No, I'm gonna get the 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:33.600 bread and the milk. I'm just gonna have a bread 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:33.880 and milk. 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.160 Yeah, yeah, I see, we steak and like, yeah, maybe 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:41.080 granola bars or something, and a couple of potatoes. Make 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.960 yourself a couple of baked potatoes, get some bacon. You're 0:01:44.040 --> 0:01:45.000 living large, man. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.360 That's all good, exactly. 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.960 But speaking of who's not living large right now, Skinny, 0:01:51.200 --> 0:01:54.760 Joe Burrow forty eight hours ago in that press conference, 0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.360 very reflective, very pensive. You know, it's like on his 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.600 twenty ninth birthday, like you know many of us do, 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:04.240 you kind of assess your situation in this life. And 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.800 it didn't sound like he's in a great place right now. 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:08.560 What'd you make of it? 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:11.400 Yeah, I mean, he didn't tell like he's in a 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:13.560 great place on Sunday after the game either. I mean, 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:17.360 that was the uber competitive Joe Burrow after losses like 0:02:17.480 --> 0:02:21.639 that usually has an angry tone to it, and on 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:25.359 that day he literally said twice that's the way the cookie. 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:25.919 Crumbled this year. 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.000 And that sounds like a guy who's resigned himself to 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.880 the fact of how this season's going, that even him 0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:32.840 coming back wasn't going to be enough to put this 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:33.840 team over the hump. 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:35.720 And then I think, to your point, I do think 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:37.480 the birthday had something that I wrote a comment about 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:38.280 that yesterday that. 0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:39.920 I do think the birthday had something to do with it. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.359 Like you hit you know thirties of milestone birthday, forties, 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.359 I know all those zero number birthdays. 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:46.400 So you're creeping up. 0:02:46.280 --> 0:02:48.480 On that, right, You're one more away from a milestone birthday, 0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.000 and you start to think, and how much football do 0:02:51.040 --> 0:02:53.320 I have left? And whatever football I have left, though, 0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:57.240 I want to keep going through surgery, rehab, surgery, rehab, 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.760 rehab quickly to come back to this. 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:02.200 I don't know, man, I don't know if I'm in 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:02.560 for that. 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.160 And I also think there's probably some calculation to this too. 0:03:06.240 --> 0:03:10.320 Joe Burrow's Joe Burrow says things that he's thought about, 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:12.480 and I do wonder if this was like a message 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.200 of you guys need to make some changes in his organization. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.359 Like I don't know how far to the top you 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.680 would go with that, but I. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.480 Think that was a message to the entire organization of 0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:24.440 you need to change your ways to get better players, 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:26.720 to get a better roster because I'm sick and tired 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:30.120 of having risk surgery and coming back and playing at 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:33.840 an MVP caliber and not making the playoffs, of coming 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:37.960 back early from the turf toe and not in scoring 0:03:38.000 --> 0:03:39.760 thirty four points. And yes, Joe had a hand in 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.200 the loss with the pick six and the other interception, 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:44.760 but you know, I mean, I can't expect him to 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:48.640 play literally greater perfect on every single snap, and that 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:50.280 feels like what they're asking him to do. And I 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.160 think he realizes it's a big burden, it's a big ask. 0:03:53.400 --> 0:03:55.640 And listen, I don't nobody needs to feel sorry for 0:03:55.720 --> 0:03:58.480 Joe Burrow. I mean, you're making good money, you are 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.160 playing a game. They're other people in this world that 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:02.720 are going through a lot of stuff too, that are 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.240 making far less and their job isn't fun. I know 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.400 there's times where you're all's job isn't fun, because I've 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:08.520 done it, and there's times in the. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.200 Job I do that it's not shun primarily. 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:14.720 Yeah, so you know, I'm not in that regard, but 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.000 it was I think it was alarming to some degree 0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:19.880 of he's about had enough. 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:22.800 Yeah, I think you nailed it. 0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:25.640 And you know to me that the times in life 0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:28.240 when you get reflective and you start getting down, it's 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:29.440 when you don't have hope. 0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:30.719 And I don't think right. 0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:32.839 I think Joe Burr looks at this roster and says, 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:35.280 I don't I don't have any hope. And it's not 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:38.480 like there's three defensive stalwarts that got injured this year, 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:39.400 but boy, they'll be back. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:41.120 They'll attack rehab in the offseason. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.560 No, that this is like a defense that needs to 0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:49.200 be completely overhauled. And we've talked about skinny how hard 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.880 that is to do in one cycle. And I think 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:54.560 he's looking at that and saying, man, I don't see 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.280 the light at the end of the tunnel here. 0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:58.080 No, that's right. 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.039 And you know, maybe it was effect of getting in 0:05:01.080 --> 0:05:03.600 the thirties again point wise, like they did so many 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:06.120 times last year and losing so many times. 0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.800 Like they did last year. Like here we go again, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:08.240 I get. 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.080 Us in the thirties, and again he's culpable for some 0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.920 of it. There's not even there's a great play the 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.840 pick six, but still do a pick six. So he's 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:15.800 culpable for a little of it. 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:17.760 But he's still got them thirty four points on a 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.520 snowy day in Buffalo. That should be enough to win 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.680 a football game. You're allowed to win a game by 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.760 scoring thirty four points. And you know, obviously he saw 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:27.520 the games early this year and Flackero played and got 0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:29.599 him to forty two against the Bears and loss, and 0:05:29.600 --> 0:05:31.839 to thirty eight against the Jets and loss. Like he 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.560 sees it. He's lived it, and I think he's at 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.080 the point of I can't keep doing this week after 0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:39.359 week of giving us a chance to win, and we 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:40.880 don't have a chance to win because we don't we're 0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:42.240 not good enough on the other side of football. 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:47.640 So let's face it, guys, scoring that many points a 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:52.120 game under any servant zans with any team, you should 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:56.000 be winning the great majority of those games. You can 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:59.159 make it. Of course, you can make an excuse. Of course, 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:04.200 you're gonna have the anomaly around along the way where hey, 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.480 they're just better in you that day, and people are 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:08.640 throwing the ball all over the place and the holes 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.960 are opening and blah blah blah, and you lose forty 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:12.080 two to thirty eight. 0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:14.640 Of course, but they're losing all of those. 0:06:14.480 --> 0:06:16.599 Games, yep, yep. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:19.520 And I think that's the that's the reality of its. Yeah, 0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.479 I think you can live with the outlier when you 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.200 keep seeing it time and time and time again. I 0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.760 mean last year they scored thirty five and thirty four 0:06:26.800 --> 0:06:29.400 in two games against Baltimore and lost both of them. 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.320 I mean that's I might give you one, but there's 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:36.280 no way that should happen twice and so and again. 0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:39.799 I think the the injury rehabs or the injury surgery 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.159 rehab component of it starts to weigh on you. I know, 0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.360 people have made the comparison to Andrew Luck and I 0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.720 used to go, oh, that's that's kind of a one off. 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:48.880 I mean, he's you know, he's a guy that had 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.560 other interests and and you know he decided he wanted 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.920 to stop to doing it. But the more you think 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.040 about it, major knee surgery, major risk, surgery. This surgery 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:02.159 was major on the turf toe. And he's attacked rehab 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.240 heart each time and come back from it each time, 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.480 and to some degree it maybe come back better each time. 0:07:09.320 --> 0:07:11.600 But how many more times are you willing to do that? 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.000 When to your point, Rocket, you go, yeah, I'm gonna 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:15.600 do this and we still aren't going to be any good. 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:16.760 So what am I doing this for? 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:18.680 Yeah? 0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:21.880 I mean I've experienced it, most guys do. It's it's 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.240 the worst. It's the battling through the injuries. And it's 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.560 not just the physical toll, it's it's the mental toll. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:30.640 And I gave this example to Lance last night, like 0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.160 what what would you how would you feel if you know, 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:35.680 you know, before you woke up in the morning, Lance 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:39.000 and you couldn't speak right, but the whole day, you know, 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.120 you did the the you know, the cough drops and 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.640 the and the tea and all that, and by six o'clock, boom, 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:45.880 you could do it. You battled through it and then 0:07:45.920 --> 0:07:47.600 you realize, Okay, I got to do this again the 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.040 next day and then you know, the weeks, the months 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:53.880 that can take a mental toll. And I mean, what 0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.080 about you skinny like a lot of the national media 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.120 is saying, Wow, this is a red flag. He's going 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.680 to ask for a trade, He's going to, you know, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:04.760 quit playing football, or where. 0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:05.200 Do you stand on that? 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:08.120 I think those are growth in plan. 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:09.600 I don't want to speak for him, and I'm not 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:11.480 certainly not in his mind. But you don't say those 0:08:11.520 --> 0:08:13.760 things without having that thought process in your mind. I mean, 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:15.600 you don't say them and go, I'm gonna say this, 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:17.560 but I'm not gonna I'm not gonna demand anything. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:18.720 I'm just gonna say it to say no. 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.160 I think there's there's probably something in the recesses of 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.960 his mind that says, if this keeps up, I'll I'll 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:25.360 have to ask for a trade, or maybe I just 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:26.880 won't play at all. Maybe he just tired of doing 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:30.560 the whole surgery rehab, you know, thing to come back. 0:08:30.600 --> 0:08:32.079 I mean, right, I think the worst thing I've ever 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:34.800 done to myself in playing ball or whatever, I think 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:36.520 I broke a toe and broke a broke a finger. 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.679 I've never really had a major surgeon. I don't even 0:08:38.679 --> 0:08:41.640 know what that's like. And I think sometimes we and 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.360 I don't blame the public for this because you don't 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:46.000 think about it. Kind of out of sight, out of mind. 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:48.480 But dude, dude, got is. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.000 Me cut on? Man? Dude got his will cut on?

Like he was a guy I 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.440 always thought that you're gonna have to drag him off 0:10:30.480 --> 0:10:33.000 the field because he just he enjoys the grind in 0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:36.000 the process. He's talked about that before, and then to 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.720 say this, it's almost like he doesn't enjoy the grind 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:40.520 in the process anymore for whatever reason. 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:42.840 There's a part of that completely understands it. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.560 We're talking to Richard Skinner from Local twelve as we 0:10:47.600 --> 0:10:50.480 always do on Friday about this time, and switching gears. 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.000 Just real quick, is there anything to be made of 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:57.840 this Schwarber thing? The brid's not getting uh, making that 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.320 deal because everybody was hopeful. I think that was like 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:04.520 hoping against hope, because hey, look they offered the man 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.080 five million dollars more a year. 0:11:07.760 --> 0:11:10.439 Yeah. But here's the thing I don't believe. 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:11.079 Listen. 0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.679 I believe the reporting of Jeff Passing that the Reds 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.000 were willing to make an offer, but they were never 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:18.679 willing to go to the nth mile to do it, 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:18.960 which is. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.160 One hundred and fifty million dollar mark. And so it's 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:22.760 always easy at that point to go, well, we were 0:11:22.760 --> 0:11:24.839 gonna pay m one hundred and thirty mil. And the 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:27.560 national media member takes it, runs with it, and you 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.520 make yourself look good Like we were trying. We could 0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:31.640 dry up to a point. So here's my thing. If 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:33.679 that was true, if that's true that they that they 0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:36.880 were at one hundred and thirty million dollars, why couldn't 0:11:36.880 --> 0:11:38.880 you then take that money and do something else in 0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:41.120 free agency with it? If you're really sincere about this guy, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:42.720 and don't give me the whole well, he was gonna 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:45.160 sell tickets. No, he was gonna sell tickets because he 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:46.520 hit home runs in won games. 0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:48.880 You weren't gonna suddenly get everybody from Middletown coming down 0:11:48.880 --> 0:11:50.040 every night to go to a game. 0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.000 And because the local hero's back. Don't give me that. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:55.120 I mean, you were gonna sign him because he was 0:11:55.120 --> 0:11:57.440 gonna help you win games. Well, then use one hundred 0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.280 and thirty million. You said you were gonna spend on him, 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:00.760 or at least he's your forty.
