00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 3: you know how people do these live videos? Oh, just

22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,520

24
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,240

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 3: a little bit to the pub. I like this and

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 3: see how things are going. I see a big rack

29
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: of guinness being poured over there right now. I can

30
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 3: do that now, so I know how to poor guinness.

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 3: I'll tell you I had a wonderful guinness over the weekend.

32
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 3: I could use another three or four of them right

33
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 3: about now. But we we wrapped to be Saint Patrick's.

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 4: We were wrapped up the parade route on Saturday, and

35
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 4: I walked back to the banks and as I get there,

36
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 4: my dad has a Guinness waiting for me. Yes, he said,

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 4: let's oh, let's split the g that's right, Well, well

38
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 4: this is this is honest. I felt like I was

39
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 4: like halfway through the guinness and I stopped. And I'm

40
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 4: because I stopped because legitimately, in my mind I was like,

41
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 4: I think I'm past the G.

42
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 3: Yeah. I didn't even make a dent in it, not

43
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 3: even a dent. Wow.

44
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: I mean I was inches away from the g terrible.

45
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: How is that possible?

46
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 3: I don't know. In my mind I was like, holy cow,

47
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: I had to really like you had to be taking

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 3: like tiny little sit yeah. But in my mind I

49
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: was like, man, this is going down the gullet clean. Well.

50
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: That's the thing about Guinness, and anybody who loves Guinness

51
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: or drinks it regularly knows it's for me. It's about

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 3: three and a half to four big gulps, right, and

53
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,119
Speaker 3: you know, obviously you got the big top on it there,

54
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 3: the big head, and then you just write down the

55
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: gullete about four of them, don gullet and God rest

56
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 3: his soul, and bang, you've got your G. Split.

57
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 4: It was a guy next to us not only split

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 4: the g, but he did it in like half a second.

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I was like, I don't know, like I'm

60
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 3: blown away. You need more of those type of people,

61
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: and you need.

62
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 4: Those are the type of people, especially on a day

63
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 4: like today, that you need around you.

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, happy Saint Patti's Day. I'm a big green

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 3: beer guy. I love green beer, love to drink it.

66
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 3: It's a little bit difficult when it's a Tuesday.

67
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 4: The Tuesday's is tough, But what about a Tuesday. What

68
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 4: about a Tuesday or the first four actions starts tonight

69
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 4: in Dayton.

70
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: Are people going to be watching that because it's not

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: like that is the best possible matchups.

72
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: From what I've seen tonight, you get UMBC who was

73
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: complaining because their flight got delayed versus Howard. But I think,

74
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 4: just based off the animosity from Xavier fans I'm seeing

75
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 4: on social media, I think the atmosphere for the second game,

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: with Texas being there and the ticket price is being reasonable,

77
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 4: I think the atmosphere is going to be really cool.

78
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: I think tonight see I disagree. I think that is

79
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 3: maybe the most overblown storyline. Do you think so? I

80
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 3: don't think Xavier fans are going to your fans going

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: up there, because I do. I don't. I do. I

82
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: don't know any Xavier fans going up there to boo Sean.

83
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 3: Let's do this.

84
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: If you are a Xavier fan today and you're going

85
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: up there, call in or send us a tweet and

86
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 4: let us know.

87
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 3: I do see that. It says tickets as low as

88
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 3: twenty eight Bucks. I think they're reasonable, reasonably priced, NC

89
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: State point and a half favorite. I think my issue

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: would be if I were a Xavier fan, is it

91
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: doesn't tip until nine to fifteen. Yeah, and that's nine

92
00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: to fifteen ish. If because you don't know about the

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 3: first game, maybe it's going to be hostile hectic. I

94
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 3: don't think it is, though. I don't know that there's

95
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: going to be a I mean thousands of Xavier fans

96
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 3: flocking to ud Irena. If you're part of the hostile

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: takeover tonight, let us know today in the next three hours,

98
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 3: shout out to Howard though. Remember when you see almost

99
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 3: lost at Howard.

100
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 4: Yep, they've lost a lot of places they probably had

101
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 4: no business losing. Now, you remember a couple of years ago,

102
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 4: UNBC was the first ever sixteen seed to win.

103
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 3: They were Virginia. They're legends.

104
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: Yes, the UNBC retrievers can't get them a plane to

105
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: take off on time.

106
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 3: Great logo, great uniforms. I know that they were making

107
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: fun of the Pittsburgh Steelers yesterday. Yes, obviously UNBC is

108
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 3: in Baltimore and somebody was, you know, getting after UNBC

109
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,039
Speaker 3: about something talking smack on the internet or whatever it

110
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: might have been, and UNBC was like, we understand you

111
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 3: don't know much about postseason success. It says we earned

112
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: the right to be in the tournament recently by winning

113
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 3: multiple playoff games. We understand you may be unfamiliar with

114
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 3: that concept concept due to your pro football team in

115
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh you support. I love it. That tweet has almost

116
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 3: a million views. I love them dogs barking. Now. I

117
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: don't want to root for anybody from Baltimore, but NBC

118
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 3: particular case, I'm pulling for him tonight. Hell yeah, what's

119
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: the worst? Howard is?

120
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 4: How long is Howard and d C? That's a good

121
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: question you. NBC is a point and a half favorite.

122
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 3: Both of these games a point and a half spread. Oh, okay,

123
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 3: the Howard Bison a little bit juicy. What did the

124
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: Howard Bison play their home games? I'm pretty sure it's

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 3: in Washington, d C. Okay, okay, don't don't U. Bird

126
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 3: Gymnasium is in Washington, d C. Yeah, there you go,

127
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 3: speaking of the n C Double A Tournament, starting to

128
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: do you see how I've made it an effort this

129
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 3: year to say n C Double A or n C.

130
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: I actually was going to bring that I've gone. You've

131
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 3: done beyond. Yes, you have.

132
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 4: You know I'm up what I say. Yesterday up a

133
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 4: hill without a paddle, you did ye, which is not

134
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 4: where you want to be, No you. I mean you're

135
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 4: in a bad spot.

136
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 3: If you got a paddle up the hill, you're in

137
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: bad anyway.

138
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: But it brings me to an NC double a tournament question.

139
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 4: And I asked this every year because I think you

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 4: can tell a lot by a person by how they

141
00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 4: answer this. Okay, how do you go about filling out

142
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 4: your brackets?

143
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 5: Now?

144
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 4: I'm old enough that I remember being in school on

145
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 4: that Thursday, and I remember them wheeling the TV on

146
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: wheels in of course, to set up the college basketball games.

147
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: And I thought, man, this is the pinnacle. There's nothing

148
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 4: better than today. To come in and I see that

149
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 4: TV and I know he got college basketball on. Now,

150
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 4: in today's world, everything's easier. You just get on the internet,

151
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 4: you click a few buttons, and your bracket is filled out.

152
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,320
Speaker 4: In today's world, I used to go get the newspaper

153
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 4: and fill out my bracket in the newspaper. But at

154
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: the very least you will find me year in and

155
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 4: year out, filling out a printable bracket in pen.

156
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 3: I printed some out. There's some over there in the sales.

158
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,360

159
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 3: it tells a lot about a person. Last couple of years,

160
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 3: I have not filled out a paper bracket. Gosh, that's disgusted.

00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: don't like the newspaper ones. I didn't like the way

00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,280

226
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: also add a little bit more to the UC Coaching

227
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 4: Search and maybe update the big board what is it

228
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 4: the hot board?

229
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 3: Some names, I think, whatever you want to UC Coaching Search.

230
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: I put a couple of poll questions up to before

231
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 3: we move on. Are you wearing green today? This is

232
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 3: on Twitter at Audiowa right now, Little appetizer. Fifty three

233
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 3: percent say no. I also asked, if you can only

234
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 3: watch one tonight, what are you watching? The World Baseball

235
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 3: Classic or the First Four Man? This isn't a world

236
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 3: in which you only have one television and access to

237
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: one of those two channels, which are you going to choose.

238
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 3: We're not asking about hockey, We're not asking about the NBA.

239
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm not asking about some show that you might watch

240
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 3: on Netflix. I'm saying, in this world for this question,

241
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 3: you can only pick one. Right now, sixty nine percent

242
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 3: say the World Baseball Classic. Au Haneo Suarez and the

243
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 3: Venezuelan's up against the United States of America. And some

244
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 3: people are saying Nicholas Maduro is going to throw out

245
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 3: the first pitch. I don't know if that's true. I'll

246
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 3: tell you what, president that we took from them or something.

247
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, man, I don't know much about

248
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 3: what's going on. Watch that last night, and we talked

249
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 3: about this yesterday. With USA beating the Dominican Republic, you

250
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 3: cannot tell me that this doesn't mean everything for these

251
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 3: players and the fans. I mean that the Venezuela team

252
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: and the energy at which they were playing with it.

253
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 3: They genuinely were having a lot of fun playing baseball

254
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 3: last night. I hated often that it came at the

255
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:00,960
Speaker 3: expense of Michael Lorenzen. Michael Lorenzen gave up a majority

256
00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 3: of the damage. But as we talked about on this

257
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 3: show yesterday, Eo Honey Osuarez got things started for Venezuela

258
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: with a home run that place erupted. The scenes are

259
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: amazing at the World Baseball Classic, and it obviously sets

260
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: up tonight one game to win it all for the

261
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 3: World Baseball Classic title. Venezuela making their first appearance in

262
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: the title game. Obviously Team USA punched their ticket. It

263
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: is an awesome, awesome event, and the players have embraced it,

264
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 3: the crowds have embraced it, and it is quickly becoming

265
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:43,800
Speaker 3: one of my favorite I would say sporting events when

266
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: you get to it, just based on the crowds. Yeah,

267
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I think a lot of people talk about,

268
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 3: how gosh, why can't the Miami Marlins, based off the

269
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 3: demographics of that city and the demographics of Major League

270
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 3: Baseball players, why can't the Miami Marlins get better attendance

271
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 3: atmosphere at these games? And on paper, it just makes

272
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 3: so much sense. But it's cool to see the sport

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: that beloved Miami is the perfect place to have that tournament,

274
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: and to see that is really exciting. And a lot

275
00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 3: of pressure on the United States, a lot of pressure

276
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: on Aaron Judge. Would be cool if Aaron Judge showed

277
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: up tonight the captain.

278
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: You know what was interesting and I was thinking this

279
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 4: and then I saw this today from Jared Carabis on

280
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 4: social media. He said, watching that game last night and

281
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 4: watching the World Baseball Classic, I think you could comfortably

282
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 4: say that it feels the most important this tournament has

283
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 4: ever felt. And with that revenue attendance numbers, everything is climbing.

284
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 4: But in the back of your mind, as a baseball fan,

285
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 4: you have all this momentum for Major League Baseball and

286
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: a lockout is looming. It just feels like baseball is

287
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 4: going to get in their own way again. Instead of

288
00:14:55,560 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 4: capturing and capitalizing on this momentum, we're staring at work stiff.

289
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 4: It's square in the face. It just it's frustrating, and

290
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 4: certainly I feel like missing out on what you could

291
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: capitalize on with this World Baseball Classic, well.

292
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're gonna parlay that into this season,

293
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 3: and that's probably what they're most worried about. I mean,

294
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 3: the issues for next year are the issues for next year,

295
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 3: and it might settle down because there isn't a World

296
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: Baseball Classic, and especially if a team like the Dodgers

297
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: wins again. I mean, I think I can see the

298
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: excitement for baseball going down a little bit. But I

299
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: think they have a huge opportunity for this season to

300
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: maximize that and use that momentum from the World Baseball

301
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 3: Classic going into this season, and maybe that can help

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: clarify some things for them when it comes into negotiations.

303
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: I don't know, but I don't know that I'd be

304
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: too worried about next year and missing the boat when

305
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 3: you still have a whole season ahead of you.

306
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 4: Speaking of baseball, quick shout out to UC Baseball. They

307
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 4: went yesterday to Utall State and they won in a

308
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 4: eleven to one run rule. You tall, I'm sorry, Utah Valley,

Speaker 4: now Utah State, Utah Valley. They're a veteran team. They

310
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 4: made the tournament last year and beat Oregon in the tournament.

311
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 4: They threw some of their best arms, they were rested,

312
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: you see, threw their fifth starter in the game yesterday,

313
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 4: and they won in a run rule. You see was

314
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: on the road, playing their fourth game in five days.

315
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 4: Is it is a noteworthy win for this team who

316
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 4: has picked up a lot of good wins in the

317
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 4: early part of this season. And as we talk about

318
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: what this team is doing Austin, we've not mentioned it

319
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 4: on the show yet. How about Quinton Coates? The early

320
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: season in twenty two games, already has fourteen home runs

321
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 4: in thirty six RBIs is crazy for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

322
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 3: He's slugging over nine hundred. Unbelievable. His ops is one

323
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 3: point three. Yeah, I mean, you want to talk about

324
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 3: just lighting it up, hitting three fifty five all together.

325
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 3: Bearcats have a bunch of dudes over three hundred already

326
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 3: this season. I mean offensively, they've just been They are incredible.

327
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 3: They already have a win at top ten ranked Auburn

328
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 3: this year. They're sixteen and six on the season. They're

329
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: eight and one. The Friendly Confines at home right there

330
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,639
Speaker 3: in Clifton one week from today Crosstown Shootout Baseball Edition

331
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: Boy between the Muskies and the Bearcats. That game, I

332
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 3: believe is at Xavier this year come Home, Yes, so,

333
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: which I think if you've never been there, that's a

334
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,400
Speaker 3: really cool fittle ballpark. Both ballparks here lovely are so

335
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 3: worth worth going over there.

336
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: Shout out to UC Baseball. Saw this yesterday. I have

337
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 4: not been following along with this a ton, but it

338
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 4: looks like we're very close to the NBA expanding to

339
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 4: two more teams.

340
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 3: I saw this, you know, I had heard some stuff

341
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: about this, but I honestly didn't really look into it.

342
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 3: I guess it's gonna be Las Vegas and Seattle are

343
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 3: like the only options the NBA is kind of allowing,

344
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 3: Is that right?

345
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

346
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 4: According to Sham's, next week's Board of Governor's meeting will

347
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,479
Speaker 4: include a vote to explore adding Seattle and Las Vegas.

348
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 4: Franchise is beginning with the twenty eight twenty nine season,

349
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 4: so might be getting some NBA expansion.

350
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 3: Where do you stand on now? Apparently if what I've

351
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: what I read was that if Seattle gets an NBA team,

352
00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:29,119
Speaker 3: the Thunder will give all of that history back to

353
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: that franchise. Really, because the Thunder are formerly the Seattle SuperSonics, Okay,

354
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 3: and that's the same franchise and same people operating it

355
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 3: and all that it just moved to Oklahoma City. Apparently

356
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 3: they're going to like seed all of that to the

357
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 3: new Seattle franchise. Okay. Now, the Ravens did this when

358
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,360
Speaker 3: the Browns came back, you know, the new Browns whatever,

359
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: And a lot of people have been saying this, talking

360
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: about this with Houston and Tennessee with the Titans, because

361
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 3: the Titans have kept all their history. Sure, a lot

362
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,440
Speaker 3: of people don't know that. The Washington Nationals, they still

363
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 3: have all the Expo's history, the Montreal Expos and if

364
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: you go to the ballpark you can see some of

365
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 3: that at Nationals Park. So I don't know. I think

366
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 3: it's a I think it's an interesting debate. I don't

367
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 3: love it, but I do understand it. Sure if I

368
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 3: like if, I just don't know if like if the

369
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: Bengals left and then four years later another title comes in,

370
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if I want that. Yeah, that's what

371
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 3: I'm saying. I don't know. It's obviously a situation I've

372
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 3: never been in as a fan, but I don't know.

373
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,560
Speaker 3: I would almost be in it. I almost want the

374
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 3: fresh start.

375
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, we will have. We didn't do it yesterday. We're

376
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: gonna have a little bit of a pat noon in

377
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: conversation today. Good morning football. Elier today just did a

378
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: brief overview of six years in the NFL for Joe Burrow.

379
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 4: How do you best describe those six years? We'll do

380
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 4: that a little bit today as well. We'll have another

381
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: Bengals cap conversation. There has been a trade in the

382
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:03,680
Speaker 4: NFL earlier to and it's significant the Denver Broncos get

383
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 4: Jalen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. In return, the Broncos

384
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 4: are going to get Miami's twenty twenty six fourth round

385
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 4: pick and Jalen Wattle. But listen to this. The Dolphins

386
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 4: Austin will get Denver's first, third, and fourth in this

387
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 4: upcoming twenty twenty six NFL Draft.

388
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: That's quite a haul. So a fourth round pick swap

389
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 3: a first and a third for Jalen WoT. Yes, that

390
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 3: seems like a price like a a pretty high priced

391
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,720
Speaker 3: has been hurt a lot too. Yeah, I mean, he

392
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 3: does still have the ability to stretch the field, and

393
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: there's some familiarity on that team with him and Patrick

394
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: Shirtan having been teammates at Alabama. Bo Knicks needs weapons.

395
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 3: It feels to me like a trade by the Denver

396
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 3: Broncos to very much be like, Okay, we're willing to

397
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 3: say FM picks, we got a quarterback on a rookie contract.

398
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 3: Let's try to maximize this because we don't know what

399
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahome status is going to be. The Raiders are

400
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 3: still rebuilding, the Chargers have question marks. We went to

401
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 3: the AFC Championship Game last year. Let's try to get

402
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 3: right back there. I think it's interesting move by Denver,

403
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 3: interesting in a great move for Miami. Miami's clearly reset.

404
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 3: I wonder how Malik Willis feels. Hey, sign you to

405
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 3: a big deal. Sorry, tyreeks, all your guys are gone. Yeah,

406
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: we'll see when we come back. Phone lines are open

407
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 3: today five to one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty.

408
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: I also want to hear from you if you're going

409
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 3: to the first for tonight. Strictly to Booshawn Miller, we'd

410
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: like to hear from you today as well. Let's talk

411
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: some more baseball when we get back. A little preview

412
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 3: of tonight Team USA versus Venezuela and what the Reds

413
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 3: did yesterday, and we need to have a starting rotation

414
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 3: conversation already. Next on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station,

415
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: thanks to Skyline, Chiley, Hey, Alexa, what's going on in baseball?

416
00:21:56,240 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 7: No one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

417
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 7: Sports Station.

418
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 8: Sorez leaves into it, sends it in the air, deep

419
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 8: black field, nor into the wall. Let's go Vennis Lenos

420
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 8: on the board, Cino sarees.

421
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: What a home run?

422
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 3: Listen to that.

423
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 4: I mean, that is the roar in the ballpark last

424
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: night when Suarez hit that home run, a solo home

425
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 4: run on the fourth at the time, it cut Italy's

426
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:40,679
Speaker 4: deficit in half two to one. And then Michael Lorenzen

427
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 4: got roughed up for three in the seventh and Venezuela

428
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 4: goes on to beat Team Italy. And we're gonna go

429
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: right into that for little Saint Patti's Day special.

430
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 3: You think they're celebrating Saint Patrick down here in Venezuela

431
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: to a hundred ft set. That place was going bonkers.

432
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 3: I mean, I love this last night scene. This is

433
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 3: just kind of a cozy little pub. You've got darts,

434
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:10,520
Speaker 3: You've got a fire going. Golly, we need a fire,

435
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 3: don't we? Man cold out there again? It almost all

436
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 3: has gone to fire. We kind of buried the lead

437
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: in the first segment. Did you see that that Ohio

438
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,680
Speaker 3: this morning was struck by a meteor? Were we really? Yeah?

439
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 3: You haven't seen this? No, So thank god, finally Cleveland

440
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,479
Speaker 3: got hit by a meteor. We've been rooting for this

441
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: for quite some time. This has been like confirmed by

442
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 3: the National Weather Service in Cleveland that the latest GLM

443
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 3: imagery suggests that the loud boom felt across the state

444
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 3: of Ohio, especially Northeast Ohio, was the result of a meteor. Wow.

445
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: There are multiple videos out there, most of them from

446
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,080
Speaker 3: dash cams or security cameras, that show a meteor falling

447
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 3: from the sky in Cleveland and then a loud boom.

448
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 3: And so I've seen a few of these, and I

449
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 3: am always taking everything with a grain of salt, but

450
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: I saw this one that I believe that I think

451
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 3: this is true. So this was a like a security

452
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: camera footage of these people's backyards and their dogs are

453
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 3: back there playing, dogs are sniffing around, and the dogs

454
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 3: get spooked by the sound of this meteor hitting the ground.

455
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play this for you. Listen to how loud

456
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 3: this is. Okay, backyard dogs sniffing around here it comes?

457
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 3: Is that not crazy? The dogs immediately freak out. One

458
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: runs up to the door and like is patting on

459
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 3: the door to try to get inside. The other one

460
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 3: was like ears, you know, perked back. I retweeted this

461
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: as well. But final Cleveland hit by a meteor. Don't

462
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 3: think that they've ever found like, they haven't found where

463
00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 3: exactly or what happened, and maybe it was in the lake.

464
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's somewhere, but it's somewhere. No

465
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 3: mistaken that the Ohio struck earlier this morning. Unbelievable. Here's

466
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: the craziest part. The Browns just broke ground on their

467
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 3: new stadium in brook Park. There was a tweet yesterday

468
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 3: or two days ago by somebody saying a meteor is

469
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 3: heading for brook Park. And now people are saying, you know,

470
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: he already knew, but a meteor phone unbelievable in Cleveland.

471
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 3: I mean, that is an undeniable sound on that video.

472
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 3: And then the National Weather Service saying that they believe

473
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 3: that's what it was. Wow, I mean, just take a

474
00:25:50,359 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 3: listen one more time. That's crazy. Is that not scary

475
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 3: as it is? Just any time anywhere ominous. Yeah, I

476
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: mean there's nothing you can do. That's it. If that's you,

477
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 3: it's your time. If you look it up. I mean,

478
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: there's a lot of videos out there. It's just in

479
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: the fact that it was in the middle of the day,

480
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 3: basically blue sky fireball falling to the ground and shaking

481
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 3: Northeastern That's insane.

482
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 9: Uh.

483
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 3: Eight pm tonight is the World Baseball Classic final. I

484
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 3: don't know how to talk about that the rest to

485
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: day if you want to.

486
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,400
Speaker 4: I mean, I didn't realize on the Venezuela roster they

487
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 4: got some studs too, Ronald Kunr Junior, Luisa Raies and

488
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 4: El and Heos Suarez, Glaber, Torres, Wilmer, Breu Wilson, Contreres,

489
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 4: Jackson Triio is their nine hole hitter. Yeah, it gives

490
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 4: you a little bit of an idea of that line

491
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 4: up tonight for Team US. I think Nolan uh Nolankling

492
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:53,920
Speaker 4: is getting to start for Team USA.

493
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,960
Speaker 3: He's kind of a nice Irish name to start on St.

494
00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 3: Patrick's Day. But uh yeah, if you say wins tonight,

495
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 3: who's the MVP, I'm gonna say Bobby Witt Junior. Oh,

496
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 3: Robert w Witt Jazz. That's a good that's a good question.

497
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give it to Schwarbo in the Middletown. Yeah,

498
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna hit one like first inning, like at the

499
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 3: three run Jack or something, and then we'll never look

500
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,160
Speaker 3: back and it'll hide the fact that Judge was over

501
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,199
Speaker 3: four three strikeouts. A lot of pressure stuff, but on

502
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 3: Team USA because as a nation, a lot of success

503
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:30,880
Speaker 3: lately in sporting events. Yeah, I don't know if you saw.

504
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:34,160
Speaker 3: Over the weekend we also beat Canada in the Paralympic

505
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 3: gold medal game. Another one. Yeah, which have you heard

506
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: about this show on Netflix called Heated Rivalry? No, well,

507
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 3: it's a show. I think you would like it. And

508
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,479
Speaker 3: it's on Netflix. It's called Heated Rivalry and it's about

509
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 3: it's a hockey show, these two hockey players. And I

510
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 3: gotta give I gotta give credit to Team USA, the

511
00:27:55,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 3: Paralympic Team USA account. Before the game on Sun Day,

512
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:06,040
Speaker 3: they tweeted out seated rivalry. Dang, that's good. You gotta

513
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: a little bit of fun with it. Well done. I

514
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 3: thought that was kind of funny. And then we whipped

515
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: him like seven to three or something. Yeah.

516
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 4: I saw when USA played Canada in the World Baseball

517
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 4: Classic that team Canada was wearing hockey jerseys and I'm like,

518
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 4: what are you? You lost the game? Yeah, you all lost.

519
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 4: You're gonna lose again. Yeah, So Team USA Venezuela at

520
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 4: eight o'clock tonight. Let's take a break. Let's call so

521
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: real quick Kyle Nicholas. Last night, who the Reds traded

522
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: for from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Pitched great.

523
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah for Italy when an inning and a third struck

524
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 3: out two perfect baseball. Yeah, he's been away from the team.

525
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: You get this one other thing on the World Baseball Classic,

526
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 4: Aaron Judge said, quote the World Series, I was in

527
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 4: versus the crowd here and the bigger on we had

528
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 4: against Mexico. It's bigger and better than the World Series.

529
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 4: I believe that. It's insane. I believe that. And as

530
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 4: much as Baseball gets it wrong, World Baseball Classic is

531
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 4: a good part of it.

532
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 3: Shout out to that. Let's talk probably because it's not

533
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 3: run by Major League may.

534
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: Probably let's talk about what happened with the Reds yesterday.

535
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 4: And we constantly go back and forth about not overreacting

536
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 4: to what we see in spring training. Let's just have

537

559
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 4: being said, now I'm gonna ask a question about Andrew

560
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: Abbott on the field Austin nine days away from opening day,

561
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 4: so not thirty nine, not twenty nine. We're under ten

562
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 4: days away from opening day now, Yeah. And I checked

563
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 4: the statistics, I checked the logs, I looked at the

564
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 4: game Vats, and then I looked at them again and

565
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 4: I saw that yesterday Andrew Abbot lasted three innings and

566
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 4: in those three innings, he allowed eight hits and eight

567
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 4: earned runs while giving up one home run. Said, okay,

568
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:23,040
Speaker 4: bad outing. Working on some stuff. Andrew Abbot throughout spring

569
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 4: training this year thirteen innings, twenty four hits, twenty earned runs. Oh,

570
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: I get it. Don't ever react to spring training. Relax,

571
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 4: It's just they're just working on stuff. You're under ten

572
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: days away. How many more opportunities does Andrew abbit have

573
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 4: to get on a mound before he's on the mound

574
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 4: on opening Day?

575
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah? One?

576
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 4: Right, So is it fair to be a little concerned

577
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 4: or have a little bit of a conversation about what

578
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: we've seen from Andrew Abbot. I think we can open

579
00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: up this conversation a little bit more to the starting

580
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 4: pitch as a whole.

581
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean with Abbott specifically, he's given up a

582
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 3: home run every single time he's taken them out, gave

583
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 3: up a homer to the Royals, to the A's, to

584
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 3: the Giants, to the Brewers, to the d Backs. I mean,

585
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: he hasn't had a scoreless outing in spring training. Dudes

586
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 3: are hitting four point thirty one off of him in

587
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 3: his last four starts. Yeah, he's not missing bats, and

588
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: yesterday he really couldn't throw strikes very much. He had

589
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 3: the three walks in that game. He had two walks

590
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 3: in the game before that. I don't know if I

591
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: should be worried about Andrew Rabbit because I feel like

592
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 3: we should always take everything in spring with a greenish salt.

593
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,560
Speaker 3: But like those numbers jump off the screen.

594
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and again he's He's led the Reds and Indians.

595
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 4: Pitched in the spring was thirteen Nicolodolo nine innings, has

596
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 4: given up seven earned runs.

597
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 3: You'll probably pitched tonight. He's gonna get another opportunity. But

598
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: when you look at the rotation as is, and we

599
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,280
Speaker 3: talked about this Austin when the Hunter Green news came down,

600
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: it immediately puts a lot of pressure on the other

601
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: starters one to be good and two your margin for

602
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: air on missing starts it shrinks by a large margin.

603
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 3: And now on the back end of this, we're having

604
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 3: a conversation and again we'll get clarification from Charlie Goldsmith

605
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 3: on Thursday, and we'll talk to maybe Joe Daniman about

606
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 3: this as well. But there's a little now uneasiness in

607
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 3: questioning around Chase Burns, so down Hunter Green until July.

608
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 3: A little uneasiness around Chase Burns. Andrew Abbat your opening

609
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 3: day starter and has given up twenty runs and thirteen

610
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: innings over the course of the spring. This is the

611
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 3: strength of this team, right. They didn't have to address

612
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: a ton of bats because the pitch is so good

613
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 3: and the depth of the pitching staff can carry this team.

614
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 3: They added a guy that hit forty nine home runs.

615
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:10,560
Speaker 3: I get it any Janio Suarez, but are we uneasy

616
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: with what we've seen through spring as we're now nine

617
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,880
Speaker 3: days away? Yeah? I mean if we were talking about

618
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,920
Speaker 3: Brandon Williamson instead of or if we're talking about Andrew

619
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:24,399
Speaker 3: Abbott and you plugged in Brandon Williamson's stats, like you'd

620
00:34:24,400 --> 00:34:26,879
Speaker 3: feel great. Gave up a couple of runs his first

621
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 3: time out, has thrown eight score listenings nine score listenings

622
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:35,879
Speaker 3: since then, hasn't given up any homers, has only walked

623
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 3: two guys in the last three starts. Like, that's what

624
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 3: you would expect out of Andrew Abbott's an interjectory, it's

625
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 3: Brandon Williamson, who is making a legitimate case to be

626
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,720
Speaker 3: in this starting rotation, and I think the Red should

627
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 3: seriously consider that, and maybe they are. And the way

628
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 3: the whole Chase Burns thing is going on just it

629
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 3: just seems a little bit weird and I don't know

630
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 3: exactly what the truth is. And you know, the rotation

631
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 3: in his shoulder or a d load or they're still

632
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 3: ramping him up or the routine, like there's just some

633
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,839
Speaker 3: cloudiness around that. Reet Louder has been fine, but that's

634
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 3: a guy who didn't play at all in the big

635
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 3: leagues last year. Same with Williamson and Brady Singer. I

636
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:20,520
Speaker 3: feel like is maybe the least talked about dude in

637
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,520
Speaker 3: all same training.

638
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 4: I feel like we've talked about him once and it

639
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 4: was a day where we read the lineup and he started.

640
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 4: Outside of that, not another word about Brady Singer.

641
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 3: And he's pitched. He was awesome last year. It was

642
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 3: really good. The bullpen, by the way, oh not great either.

643
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 3: What about Graham so like he existed? Like the thing

644
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 3: that we thought was going to be their biggest strength

645
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,279
Speaker 3: hasn't been very good. And the thing we thought was

646
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,839
Speaker 3: going to be their biggest weakness Matt McLean has you know,

647
00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:53,359
Speaker 3: had me looking at him in l MVP odds. Again

648
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 3: it's weird. Yeah again. It also feels like Ellie's having

649
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:58,760
Speaker 3: a quiet spring.

650
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel again and again this happens all the

651
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 4: time because no matter what we do, if we ignore it,

652
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 4: it's well, you're ignoring it an issue. If you talk

653
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 4: about it, well, it's just spring training. It's a lose

654
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 4: lose I get it. But for the purpose of what

655
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 4: we're doing on a daily basis and being nine days

656
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,320
Speaker 4: away from opening day, is it not a part of

657
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: a conversation that has to be happening. By the way,

658
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,399
Speaker 4: Elie de la Cruz thirty four at bats in the spring,

659
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 4: he's hitting two ninety four. Like you mentioned it, Fine,

660
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 4: he's a quiet two ninety four. But it's also been

661
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:34,439
Speaker 4: weird without Suarez being there. Yeah, it's Suarez has been weird.

662
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 4: Another player. I feel like we haven't talked a ton

663
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,320
Speaker 4: about Spencer Steer.

664
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 3: I think he's like trending up.

665
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 4: One's seventy six over the course of thirty four at bats.

666
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 4: Is he playing any outfield, yes, so you're getting more

667
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:47,800
Speaker 4: starts in the outfield.

668
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 3: He is he's gotten some more outfield opportunities. So again,

669
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 3: it's not overreacting. I get it.

670
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 4: You're you're constantly working on things, but to the point

671
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: of Andrew Abbit will have one more start to ramp

672
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 4: up before the Red Sox are here on opening day.

673
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 4: If you're Andrew Abbit mentally, don't you just want to

674
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 4: see a clean slate. You're gonna go into opening day

675
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 4: not having one clean slate throughout the spring. Yeah, I

676
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 4: think that's important.

677
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 3: By the way. Shout out to Garrett hampsonen we mentioned

678
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 3: him yesterday. He went deep.

679
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 4: He went deep, brought his average up to zero nine

680
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,280
Speaker 4: to four. Yeah, shout out to Garrett Hampson for listening.

681
00:37:31,239 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 4: We'll take a break. I just don't know what the

682
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 4: We're not trying to overreact, We're not trying to panic.

683
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 3: Like I've never really had high expectations for them. I

684
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: think I've always said, like eighty five wins would be

685
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 3: their ceiling, just because I don't trust their offense until

686
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 3: I see it. And I felt really good about the

687
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 3: pitching staff. But I don't feel that way anymore, especially

688
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 3: with Hunter being out. The inconsistencies the young starters we've

689
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:02,279
Speaker 3: seen in spring Ilio Pagan and Tony Santien han't quite

690
00:38:02,280 --> 00:38:05,800
Speaker 3: looked like themselves. Graham Ashcraft keeps walking dudes, like there's

691
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 3: spots up for grabs. I just wonder if they are

692
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: a team that can get out of their own way

693
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: and ahead. Last year, I think we all agree that

694
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 3: the ceiling is very high. Yeah it's the roof, but right,

695
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 3: what ceiling is the roof? Thanks Mike Jordan, what's the floor? Though? Yeah,

696
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 3: it's definitely a conversation. It's something to watch, not freak

697
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:30,920
Speaker 3: out about yet, but it's on a high alert. I

698
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 3: asked somebody yesterday who was in Goodyear. Should I be

699
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:38,319
Speaker 3: worried about Andrew Abbott? And they said, no, I don't

700
00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 3: think so. Okay, he's healthy, there's no issues with his health.

701
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 3: The weird part is that there's not necessarily a theme

702
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 3: to what has led to his struggles. Like it's not

703
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 3: that he can't throw strikes. It's not that he you know,

704
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:55,440
Speaker 3: is missing with his curve ball, like it's something different

705
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 3: every time, which that made me actually freak out a

706
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 3: little bit more. It's like, okay, so everything's bad, instead

707
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,879
Speaker 3: of just one thing that he's working on or struggling with.

708
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 3: So you don't really know until the season starts, and

709
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,000
Speaker 3: guys are different and the ball is different in the

710
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: atmosphere in the stadium, and you know, Cowboy talks all

711
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 3: the time about that third deck when you come into

712
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: a big league ballpark. Yeah, so we'll see, we'll take

713
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 3: a break.

714
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 4: We'll finish up the hour with a phone call or

715
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,720
Speaker 4: to next five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen thirty.

716
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:29,640
Speaker 4: We'll talk to Joe Daniman at the top of our

717
00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 4: number two on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:39,600

721
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: question on the World Baseball Classic Austin.

722
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 3: I was going to ask you if you ever found

723
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,879
Speaker 3: a four leaf clover. I've not okay, what you got,

724
00:39:57,880 --> 00:39:59,359
Speaker 3: have you? I don't think so.

725
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:05,520
Speaker 4: Suarez with Venezuela playing against Team USA. Yeah, root for

726
00:40:05,560 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 4: Team USA and hope Suarez goes deep five to two

727
00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 4: USA win because you still want to do well.

728
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the guy, but I'm against him. No,

729
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: I don't want him to go deep at all, all right,

730
00:40:16,040 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 3: what if it's like eight, like he gets a solo shot.

731
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: I'd like for him to go oh for eight with

732
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: eight strikings.

733
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 4: Okay, and then we'll have the question about hez being

734
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,160
Speaker 4: ready for opening Day. Yeah, as Garrett Crochet on the Man,

736
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:31,920
Speaker 4: for me.

00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:36,319
Speaker 3: Okay, Well said, that would be some content. Well said, Uh,

Speaker 5: Hey? Thanks guys, happy Saint Patrick's digg you too, especially

740
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 5: you Grand Marshall about that. I think it's cool as

741
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 5: heck Tony.

742
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 3: It was. It was very cool. Yes, enjoyed it.

743
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:54,880
Speaker 4: I think as much fun as I had, I think

744
00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 4: the kids had probably twice as much fun.

745
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 5: Oh see, that's why I wanted to ask you. Did

746
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: the kids get to go that? Yeah, they're looking at daddy. Oh,

747
00:41:02,320 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 5: my dad's a big shot.

748
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:03,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

749
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 4: They got to ride in the car, so they were.

750
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 4: They were all pumped up and happy.

751
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 5: Oh man, that they'll never forget that. Dude, that is

752
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:14,239
Speaker 5: so awesome. I'm happy to hear. You made my day

753
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 5: with that. You want to trade the Red stud young

754
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:23,319
Speaker 5: pitching staff for the Dodgers Veterans old men pitching staff? Oh?

755
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:24,160
Speaker 5: Right right now.

756
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 4: Man, It's just it's it's again. You you you. You

757
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 4: understand in the back of your mind that it is

758
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:35,920
Speaker 4: spring training. But as the the opening day date gets closer,

759
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,279
Speaker 4: the thought I had as you kind of ramp up

760
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 4: to this, I just don't see them ramping up in

761
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Speaker 4: the right way right now from a pitching standpoint.

762
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,080
Speaker 5: No, I don't either. But so many times I thought

763
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 5: the same thing over my life and then they come

764
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 5: out and next thing you know, they have the seven

765
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 5: and one with a one point nine to two e R.

766
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 5: But he does need to get.

767
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 8: Rid of that beer belly.

768
00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 3: I don't know what.

769
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 5: I don't know what's up with that. You know, I

770
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,480
Speaker 5: don't even want to go there. That's not fair. Hey,

771
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,560
Speaker 5: I'll tell you what. Now with the bracketology, watch out

772
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 5: for Mixed Team. Mix got his co best player back

773
00:42:12,880 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 5: now playing well and uh and with the way he

774
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,799
Speaker 5: coaches defense, watch out for UCLA. Now they're gonna I'm

775
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 5: not I would not be shocked. Yeah, I know they're

776
00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 5: going to get through the first round. I'm pretty sure.

777
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 5: But Mixed Team will be ready to go, that's for sure. Yeah.

778
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,440
Speaker 4: I feel like too, that second round matchup where you

779
00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 4: get Mick Cronin and Dan Hurley on the sideline together

780
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 4: could be amazing.

781
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, that would be a lot of fun, wouldn't it.

782
00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 5: One thing about that Saint John's team is they look

783
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:45,320
Speaker 5: like they're all nil guys. They look like NBA guys.

784
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 5: That front line. Those are big, tough, burly men. Many

785
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:53,360
Speaker 5: they kind of make a lot of the young guys

786
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 5: look a little bit slight, if you will.

787
00:42:55,960 --> 00:43:00,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, with with Hopkins edge of four and Dylan Mitchell,

788
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 4: they are a formidable front court.

789
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 5: They really are. And I'm just glad Miami got in.

790
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 5: I don't care how they got in, just so they

791
00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 5: got in. I know everybody's squabbling about it, but they're

792
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 5: in and that's all them. Then they got an eleven seat.

793
00:43:13,400 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 5: So I think that playing moniker is kind of meaning

794
00:43:17,480 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 5: and kind of stupid. I don't even know why they but.

795
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 4: We've seen teams that can can win one of those

796
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: games and get a little momentum going into the rest

797
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 4: of the field.

798
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, and you know that league that Santa Clara is in,

799
00:43:28,680 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 5: they got those three coaches. I don't know if I

800
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:34,240
Speaker 5: told you about this, but they got Mark Few, Randy

801
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 5: but Randy the Bennett uh and then Herb Sendek and

802
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 5: all three of those guys you have over five hundred wins.

803
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:43,240
Speaker 3: Ye's been awesome as well.

804
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 5: So they're really good coaches. A Cuff for CALIPARTI, you know,

805
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,319
Speaker 5: Calipari may be the greatest developer of guards I've ever

806
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 5: seen in my life.

807
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 4: And there's a conversation that Acuff might be the best

808
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 4: he's had. He's that good.

809
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: He is Tony, he agreed, and he doesn't care if

810
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,759
Speaker 5: this is He just keeps doing what he's doing.

811
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:05,880
Speaker 3: He's going to keep attacking.

812
00:44:07,120 --> 00:44:10,279
Speaker 5: The one seed that really bothers me is Virginia. I mean,

813
00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 5: they gave Virginia a three seed and I just I

814
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:14,760
Speaker 5: don't get it.

815
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,600
Speaker 11: Do you?

816
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:16,760
Speaker 3: No, It's it's hard.

817
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 4: I don't think the ACC is very good at all

818
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 4: this year, So I'm not I'm not huge on the ACC,

819
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:24,960
Speaker 4: but I don't know. A lot of the seating confuses me.

820
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 4: But you kind of move on and normally the good

821
00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 4: thing with the tournament, it sorts itself out.

822
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:30,239
Speaker 12: Yeah.

823
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 5: I think Florida almost may be laid down a little

824
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,879
Speaker 5: bit when they lost that Vanderbilt game because they might

825
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 5: have been thinking they were tired. You should I shouldn't

826
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 5: say that, But anyway, you guys got to go. Thanks Mike,

827

Speaker 3: Joey D. What's going on? Hi?

865
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 8: Tone, Hi Audi, Tony? How was the Saint Patrick's Day

866
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,120
Speaker 8: Parade on Fox? Nineteen.

867
00:46:36,200 --> 00:46:39,800
Speaker 4: Now it was electric. I did not realize the parade

868
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:43,760
Speaker 4: was as big as it is. The coverage was great,

869
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:46,719
Speaker 4: I did say earlier in the show. Once I got

870
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 4: through my portion of the parade, I walked back and

871
00:46:50,160 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 4: watched the rest of the parade with my family. I

872
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 4: attempted to split a G on a Guinness, and I'll

873
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 4: say this, in my mind, I thought I was gonna,

874
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 4: like stop drinking. It was gonna be like halfway done,

875
00:47:02,600 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 4: and I was gonna be well past the G. I mean,

876
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:06,880
Speaker 4: I was inches away from even getting to the G.

877
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,080
Speaker 4: It was a terrible effort. Outside of that effort, awesome day,

878
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,160
Speaker 4: awesome crowd, awesome parade, and great coverage.

879
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:15,760
Speaker 3: By the way, that's.

880
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 8: An early afternoon Guinness.

881
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 4: I'm not sure, although some of the people on the

882
00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 4: parade route had started much earlier than I did. Sure,

883
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 4: I will say that I've got to ask before we

884
00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:29,200
Speaker 4: dive into this today. I said this at the start

885
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 4: of the show filling out NCAA tournament brackets. I remember

886
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 4: the days where they wheeled the TV into school on

887
00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 4: the Thursday.

888
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 3: Like I'm that old.

889
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,799
Speaker 4: I feel like I like, but I also am old

890
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,000
Speaker 4: enough that I would get like the paper when it

891
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 4: came out and fill it out in the paper. I'm

892
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,840
Speaker 4: still to this day a fill out a bracket on

893
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 4: paper and pen type of guy.

894
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 3: Are you that.

895
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 4: Way or are you just now online and you got

896
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 4: a couple of clicks and your brackets done.

897
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,720
Speaker 8: Paper pen and it has to be penned. It cannot

898
00:48:02,719 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 8: be pencil, nothing can be erased. I'm very much like

899
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 8: Dan Patrick, a one bracket of integrity kind of guy.

900
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 8: And when I was a kid, Tony, this was before

901
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 8: the internet, okay, I would have four pieces of loose

902
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 8: leaf paper. I would have a ruler and I would

903
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,000
Speaker 8: measure out each part of the bracket so it filled

904
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 8: out the entire page. And then I would get a

905
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,520
Speaker 8: piece of scrap paper and as Greg Gumble went through

906
00:48:28,600 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 8: each team, I would write them down quickly what region

907
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:33,680
Speaker 8: they're going to, and then I would fill out my

908
00:48:33,880 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 8: bracket and it was so beautiful. I used to keep

909
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 8: it in like a folder and I would fill it

910
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 8: in as the teams won, to kind of keep track

911
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 8: of who won and lost, and then look at how

912
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 8: I was doing in my predictions. But I always say this, okay,

913
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 8: and I give one piece of bracket advice for a

914
00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:57,879
Speaker 8: guy who has wanted I think three times. Last year

915
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 8: I had the perfect first.

916
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,719
Speaker 3: Round man, Okay.

917
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 8: Thirty two to zero and won zero dollars. How is

918
00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 8: that possible?

919
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:09,640
Speaker 14: You?

920
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 8: How I lost Cooper flag and Continipple choked against Houston.

921
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 3: YEA couldn't get it.

922
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 8: Otherwise I would have gotten it. So my advice is this,

923
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 8: look at winning your tournament bracket, whatever office pull you're in.

924
00:49:23,400 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 8: You have to find value in the champion, because you're

925
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 8: not going to win unless you pick the champion correct

926
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:34,680
Speaker 8: the way seeds and points are weighted in whatever bracket

927
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,799
Speaker 8: pull you're in. Unless you think there's a dominant team

928
00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 8: that there's no way they're going to lose. Like when

929
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 8: you think about the Jalen Brunson and Michale Bridges and

930
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,399
Speaker 8: Dante Devincenzo Villanova team, no one was going to beat them.

931
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 8: You put them in the championship and you work back. Otherwise,

932
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 8: you try to find value in the champion. Like the

933
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,400
Speaker 8: year Virginia one. No one wanted to pick Virginia. There's

934
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:59,400
Speaker 8: a one seed no one wanted to pick, and I said, okay,

935
00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:02,360
Speaker 8: there's my It's like gambling. Where should I find the value?

936
00:50:02,480 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 8: And so I put Virginia as my champion work back

937
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:07,479
Speaker 8: and won the office pool.

938
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:08,240
Speaker 3: Wow.

939
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 4: I have to add to that because it is March Madness,

940
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,879
Speaker 4: and it's different this time of the year because we're

941
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 4: used to, or I've felt like I've been used to

942
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,360
Speaker 4: growing up so many local teams being a part of

943
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 4: the tournament. We haven't had that as of late. We

944
00:50:22,960 --> 00:50:26,759
Speaker 4: don't have it this year. UC has moved on from

945
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 4: Wes Miller. I think Wes Miller lost his job in

946
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 4: the final two minutes against UCF. I think if that

947
00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 4: game goes differently, he's probably still the coach of the Bearcats.

948
00:50:35,480 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 4: They have moved on. What did you make of the

949
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:39,520
Speaker 4: decision to move on from west Miller? And I know

950
00:50:39,560 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 4: it's early in the process, but does it feel like

951
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 4: a clear cut number one that they need to go

952
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:44,959
Speaker 4: to right now?

953
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 8: Yeah, don't make this process harder than it needs to be.

954
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,439
Speaker 8: If you have a candidate that stands out the way

955
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 8: that Jared Calhoun does, I think you jump on it

956
00:50:54,719 --> 00:50:58,240
Speaker 8: and look do process right. You talk to other people,

957
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 8: You look at other people. But if everyone I talked

958
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 8: to who's involved in the program or played for UC

959
00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 8: previously says they want someone who gets uce basketball, and

960
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,080
Speaker 8: I think sometimes a lot of those folks lean too

961
00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 8: much into the Huggins era a little bit. And I

962
00:51:16,400 --> 00:51:18,919
Speaker 8: get it because those were the glory years for people

963
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 8: in our generation. But I do think there is some

964
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:26,479
Speaker 8: merit to having someone who understands Cincinnati basketball and having

965
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,560
Speaker 8: at least a little bit of a taste of what

966
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 8: it means to the program and to the city of Cincinnati.

967
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 8: And Jered Calhoun checks that box. He also checks the

968
00:51:35,680 --> 00:51:38,719
Speaker 8: box up. He's gone to Utah State, which is a

969
00:51:38,840 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 8: higher mid major in the Mountain West, and has now

970
00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,080
Speaker 8: gone to back to back and CAA tournaments two years.

971
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,839
Speaker 8: So if you're talking about checking boxes, that's a guy

972
00:51:48,880 --> 00:51:51,320
Speaker 8: who's checking a lot of boxes. But to your original

973
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,879
Speaker 8: question about Wes Miller, in the idea of him now

974
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 8: moving on from Cincinnati and Cincinnati moving on from him,

975
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,720
Speaker 8: this felt like year five had to be NCAA tournament

976
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 8: or bust. And if that was the feeling in the

977
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,759
Speaker 8: fan base and for people who watched the team, I'm

978
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 8: glad it was the same feeling for the people who

979
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,479
Speaker 8: make decisions about this. I think it's important to say

980
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,319
Speaker 8: this West Miller is a good coach. He's not a

981
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 8: bad coach. I do think the guy can be successful,

982
00:52:20,400 --> 00:52:24,000
Speaker 8: but for whatever reason, it didn't click here in Cincinnati.

983
00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:27,600
Speaker 8: Five years is a long enough window. He didn't get

984
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 8: it done, he didn't go to the tournament. It was

985
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 8: time to move on.

986
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 3: How big of a learning curve do you think there

987
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:35,960
Speaker 3: is for a coach like let's say Calhoun coming from

988
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,399
Speaker 3: Utah State jumping immediately to the Big Twelve, which many

989
00:52:39,440 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 3: believe is the best basketball conference in the country. Like,

990
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:45,280
Speaker 3: what should the runway be? Like? What should the grace

991
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 3: period be? Because that's not easy. I mean for any coach.

992
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:52,399
Speaker 8: It's not I do think there's a little bit of

993
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 8: a grace period for him this year with the transfer

994
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 8: portal date being a little bit later than it was

995
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:01,480
Speaker 8: for saying Richard Patino making the jump from New Mexico

996
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 8: to Xavier. And I know that's not exactly apples to apples,

997
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 8: considering how much you see has in its nil fund

998
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,959
Speaker 8: to pay for its roster compared to what Xavier does.

999
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:15,440
Speaker 8: But you saw the late start that Richard Patino had

1000
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 8: trying to build the team he had e Xavier, and

1001
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 8: then you saw the result this year of a losing

1002
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 8: record in his first year in a power conference, but

1003
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 8: with you see and whoever they decide to bring in

1004
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 8: the coach, and let's just say for conversation's sake, it's

1005
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:33,880
Speaker 8: Jared Calhoun. The portal doesn't open until April seven. You

1006
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 8: tossed eight, let's be honest, is going to be eliminated

1007
00:53:36,600 --> 00:53:38,360
Speaker 8: by the end of this weekend unless they shock the

1008
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 8: world and beat Arizona in the second round after beating

1009
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:43,600
Speaker 8: Villanova in the first round. And then you've answered your

1010
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 8: question about a guy who can beat teams of the

1011
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,360
Speaker 8: Big twelve. So you have to look at it for

1012
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 8: two reasons. For two ways, he gets the extra time

1013
00:53:53,239 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 8: it would take to find guys in the portal. But

1014
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 8: also you're not just jumping into the Big twelve where

1015
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:02,240
Speaker 8: the talent is a different level than he's coached against.

1016
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 8: But you're also coaching against some of the best coaches

1017
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 8: in the country, and this is going to be a

1018
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,959
Speaker 8: trial by fire for a guy in his first year.

1019
00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:13,000
Speaker 8: If they do go with Jared Calhoun going up against

1020
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,400
Speaker 8: the Kelvin Sampsons and the bill selves and pick whatever

1021
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 8: big name coach you want to pick in the Big twelve.

1022
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:21,440
Speaker 8: To me, that's what's most interesting. I think we'll get

1023
00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 8: his roster. We've seen the support the program, hats for

1024
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:28,080
Speaker 8: the fan base from the donors, because even last year

1025
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,560
Speaker 8: when you see was struggling, they still had ten thousand

1026
00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:33,680
Speaker 8: plus in the building. That's there, That infrastructure is there.

1027
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 8: To me, it's can he coach with and against some

1028
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:39,160
Speaker 8: of the best coaches in the country.

1029
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 4: In the background of all this going on, we're now

1030
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 4: nine days away from opening day, and we just had

1031
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 4: this conversation earlier in the show, Joe. Because you're kind

1032
00:54:49,440 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 4: of taught and it's talked about in spring training, don't

1033
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:54,480
Speaker 4: overreact to everything going on in spring training. Guys are

1034
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 4: working on stuff you don't really have a clear understanding yet.

1035
00:54:57,960 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 4: Hunter Green's not going to be available till July. There's

1036
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 4: been some uncertainty around Chase Burns in the last week

1037
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 4: or so with innings and what they're doing with him,

1038
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:08,280
Speaker 4: and then your opening day starter.

1039
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 3: I get it.

1040
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,279
Speaker 4: Spring training has thrown thirteen innings in spring training, twenty

1041
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 4: four hits in twenty runs. Is there a point now

1042
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 4: under ten days away where you do find yourself a

1043
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 4: little bit concerned about this rotation which is clear and

1044
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:25,840
Speaker 4: above supposed to be the strength of this roster.

1045
00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 8: So we talked at the start of this conversation about

1046
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:34,799
Speaker 8: bracket strategy, right, and Austin has invited me into the

1047
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 8: Sincy three to sixty bracket challenge, and I will not

1048
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,520
Speaker 8: fill that out until eleven fifty on Thursday morning because

1049
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 8: I want all the information they can get about these teams.

1050
00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,520
Speaker 8: And that's not me diving in and reading things. It's

1051
00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 8: like a situation in Alabama. What if something happens to

1052
00:55:51,960 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 8: one of these star players for these teams. That's why

1053
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,920
Speaker 8: I don't want to make any predictions until I have to.

1054
00:55:57,080 --> 00:56:04,520
Speaker 8: That's why I want to walk back the wins. I

1055
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 8: shouldn't have done that until opening that I put it

1056
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 8: out there. I got pedigree and my back around Austin,

1057
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 8: I'm going for it. You said, concern, I'm curious. I

1058
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,680
Speaker 8: don't know if I'm concerned at this point. Certainly, Hunter

1059
00:56:20,719 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 8: Green's injury is a big ding. There's no doubt about it. Okay,

1060
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,800
Speaker 8: you can't make up for losing an all star caliber

1061
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 8: pitcher for perhaps half of a season, but the Reds

1062
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 8: are equipped to be able to survive it with what

1063
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 8: they have in depth in their starting rotation. The Chase

1064
00:56:36,120 --> 00:56:38,720
Speaker 8: Burns thing again I think fits right into that curious

1065
00:56:38,800 --> 00:56:42,359
Speaker 8: not concerned bucket. I know there are some projections out

1066
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 8: there that he might not be on the opening day roster.

1067
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 8: I'll believe that when I see that. Okay, I still

1068
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 8: think that Chase Burns is still inside track to be

1069
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 8: on the opening day roster. And maybe I'm wrong. Maybe

1070
00:56:56,320 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 8: the Reds do want to send him down to the

1071
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 8: min Leaks and let him ramp up a little bit

1072
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 8: to be ready for the majority of the season, But

1073
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,799
Speaker 8: I still think there's a chance he's on the opening

1074
00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 8: day roster. The Andrew Abbott thing, the numbers don't bother me.

1075
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:12,600
Speaker 8: What peaks my radar just a little bit is the

1076
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:15,880
Speaker 8: way he talked about it yesterday after his outing, when

1077
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 8: he used words like frustrated that the process is right,

1078
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 8: but the results aren't there, and results maybe don't matter

1079
00:57:22,240 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 8: in spring, but some of the ancillary stuff is a

1080
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 8: little bit curious. The walks are higher. You look at

1081
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 8: his walk to strike out late last year, it was

1082
00:57:33,920 --> 00:57:36,480
Speaker 8: really excellent, and it's not been excellent so far in

1083
00:57:36,480 --> 00:57:38,600
Speaker 8: spring training. And you never know what a guy's working on.

1084
00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 8: But the fact that Andrew says I'm going to try

1085
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 8: to ride out the storm. Hope it starts to click.

1086
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:47,000
Speaker 8: You hope if you're a Reds fans, that when the

1087
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 8: lights turn on on opening Day, everything just falls into

1088
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 8: place and he goes back to being the Andrew Abbott

1089
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 8: we expect him to be, and that's opening day starter,

1090
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:57,439
Speaker 8: that's all star level pitcher. But I think the word

1091
00:57:57,440 --> 00:58:00,960
Speaker 8: I would land on guys is more cure curious at

1092
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 8: this point, a week plus out from opening day, than

1093
00:58:03,800 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 8: I am concerned about the starting rotation.

1094
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 3: How much stock are you buying in Matt McClain, because

1095
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 3: it's not just been a week or two, it's been

1096
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 3: twenty days, twenty days of Matt McLain wearing long pants

1097
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 3: and hitting long homers. So should we be all in

1098
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 3: on this?

1099
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 11: Yes?

1100
00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 8: I was a stockholder on Matt McClain even when he

1101
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,680
Speaker 8: was punning poorly last year, because I thought it was

1102
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,960
Speaker 8: going to be a blip on his long career of

1103
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:35,280
Speaker 8: multiple All Stars on his resume. I go back to

1104
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:39,120
Speaker 8: what he is. Is he the twenty twenty three player

1105
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 8: or is he the twenty twenty five player? And I

1106
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 8: think for his entire life he's been closer to the

1107
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 8: twenty twenty three guy who came up here and looked

1108
00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 8: like one of the best hitters in the organization and

1109
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 8: a would be future star in Cincinnati. The only other

1110
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 8: data point we have is twenty twenty five, but he

1111
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 8: was coming back from the shoulder surgery the show to rehab,

1112
00:59:00,760 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 8: and he looked a little bit lost with his confidence

1113
00:59:03,600 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 8: in twenty twenty five. So I'm going to lean on

1114
00:59:07,080 --> 00:59:10,760
Speaker 8: every other data point that we have that made Matt

1115
00:59:10,840 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 8: McClain a first round pick, that made him a great

1116
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:16,720
Speaker 8: player in his rookie season, and not necessarily buy anything

1117
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 8: that I saw last year. I think it's important he

1118
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 8: uses last year as a data point for himself mentally,

1119
00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 8: things he needs to get better at. You know, I

1120
00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 8: talked to Matt when he's going well. I've asked him,

1121
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 8: what are you doing particularly well when you're going well,

1122
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,360
Speaker 8: and he always says, I'm swinging at strikes and I'm

1123
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 8: not chasing. And I read Charlie Goldsmith's article talking yesterday

1124
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 8: about that exact same idea, being more aggressive on pitches

1125
00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,360
Speaker 8: in the zone, and there's been a lot of talk

1126
00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 8: about him chasing those low and away sliders and making

1127
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 8: the adjustment of trying take that ball to right field.

1128
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,800
Speaker 8: And we've seen that so far in spring training. I

1129
00:59:53,880 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 8: understand spring training numbers are what they are, but when

1130
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,840
Speaker 8: you're hitting like Babe Ruth, give me all the stock.

1131
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,320
Speaker 3: So back to nineties. We're back to nineties.

1132
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:09,360
Speaker 8: Okay, nineties one hundred, one hundred and now Central champions

1133
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 8: and bringing home a World Series championship on the back

1134
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 8: of Maddie long Pants.

1135
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:19,880
Speaker 4: I gotta I've got to ask for the Bengals. We've

1136
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 4: talked a lot about this offseason, Joe, and it feels

1137
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:24,400
Speaker 4: like they've done a lot of really good things. The

1138
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,440
Speaker 4: Dalton Riiser had to happen, the decision with Trey Hendrickson.

1139
01:00:27,880 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 4: They've made three defensive additions that I think are going

1140
01:00:30,840 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 4: to help this team in a big way. They get

1141
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:37,640
Speaker 4: Orlando Brown Junior extended. They're doing a lot of good stuff,

1142
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 4: and yet at the end, it feels like, now there's

1143
01:00:40,240 --> 01:00:44,960
Speaker 4: this conversation happening around the cap and how they're structuring

1144
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 4: these deals based on how other teams across the NFL

1145
01:00:48,600 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 4: are structuring those deals, and they're just not in the

1146
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 4: the frame to restructure Joe Burrows deal. And you see

1147
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 4: that happening across teams across the end. National Football League

1148
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:03,760
Speaker 4: where they restructure the quarterbacks deal, they free up cap

1149
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 4: space and they use that to make the team better.

1150
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow has even said he's open to this. Are

1151
01:01:09,440 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 4: you surprised seeing the cap hits in year one at

1152
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 4: these contracts and that they've not ventured down the path

1153
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 4: of restructuring Burrow for a year?

1154
01:01:18,160 --> 01:01:22,640
Speaker 8: Am I surprised? I am not surprised. I would be

1155
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 8: if I were a Bengals fan, I would be disappointed

1156
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,920
Speaker 8: a little bit by the way free agency in the

1157
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 8: offseason has started, the fact that there was this understanding

1158
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 8: of the urgency of what this offseason meant to this

1159
01:01:37,320 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 8: coaching staff, to the patience of the quarterback that is

1160
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 8: wearing very thin. Very quickly, they understood the assignment. They

1161
01:01:44,760 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 8: got in front of microphones, they got in front of

1162
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:50,160
Speaker 8: whatever person they can get, in front of the media,

1163
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:53,400
Speaker 8: and they said that they got it, that they were

1164
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 8: going to go for it. They knew the urgency of

1165
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 8: the situation, and right now we haven't seen that really

1166
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 8: play out. You have to give them credit. Okay, Mafe

1167
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 8: will help, Allen will help, Cook will help. I said

1168
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 8: before the offseason this team probably needed five new starters

1169
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,520
Speaker 8: on defense to compete for a Super Bowl. Four new starters.

1170
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:16,000
Speaker 8: I think they're back in the playoffs right now. They

1171
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 8: have three new starters. Defensively, they have an address linebacker.

1172
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 8: Makes me think that the Bengals are probably going to

1173
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 8: use the number ten overall pick on a guy that

1174
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 8: they expect to come in and start day one here

1175
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 8: in Cincinnati. So even if they add that guy, that's

1176
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 8: four new starters. But you're relying on running it back

1177
01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:37,480
Speaker 8: with Knight and Carter, and I wonder how much that

1178
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:41,160
Speaker 8: is going to define what the twenty twenty six Bangals are.

1179
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 8: It feels like we always pull something right from the

1180
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 8: Bengals and say this could define the season, and then

1181
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,560
Speaker 8: there we are week ten, Week eleven, week twelve, and

1182
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 8: like we were right, it is defining the season. So

1183
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 8: the Bengals are betting. Unless they go out and get

1184
01:02:56,920 --> 01:03:00,720
Speaker 8: someone that surprises me here in the next couple of weeks,

1185
01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 8: or if perhaps they get lucky and a sunny Styles

1186
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:06,919
Speaker 8: drops to them at number ten, then you're starting another

1187
01:03:06,960 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 8: rookie at linebacker again, when all offseason they said they

1188
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 8: wanted to add someone in that room who has some

1189
01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 8: experience and has proven they can play on Sundays. So

1190
01:03:16,080 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 8: to me, it's going to come down to in twenty

1191
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 8: twenty six if they run this back with Knight and Carter,

1192
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 8: young players that I don't think anybody listening to this

1193
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:27,640
Speaker 8: would say get rid of they can't play, but can

1194
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 8: you rely on them to take the kind of jump

1195
01:03:30,120 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 8: they have to take to help drag this team to

1196
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 8: a different level in twenty twenty six. I'm skeptical. I'm

1197
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 8: a little worried about it, and I'm very curious if

1198
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,640
Speaker 8: this was the plan for them, after investing in those

1199
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,280
Speaker 8: two players last year, to bring them back in twenty

1200
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 8: twenty six as your two starters.

1201
01:03:47,920 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's my question too, is because like, Okay, you

1202
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 3: can see Logan Wilson's in that room. Logan Wilson can

1203
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 3: help them, but then Logan Wilson played terribly and he

1204
01:03:56,320 --> 01:04:00,240
Speaker 3: gets traded, and orn Berg's kind of the same situation,

1205
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 3: wasn't necessarily the best player to help them? And Doke

1206
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 3: Tobin kind of reference that, like, if you're not playing well,

1207
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 3: it's difficult for your message to resonate all that stuff

1208
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 3: that they said about linebacker, and then reading what Paul

1209
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,520
Speaker 3: Daaner reported that they weren't really even in on Caden

1210
01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 3: Ellis or even in on Leo's chanel. That doesn't make

1211
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,680
Speaker 3: sense to me, and I have a hard time understanding

1212
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:25,760
Speaker 3: what the plan actually is to make those two guys

1213
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 3: better as opposed to other than just Hey, you had

1214
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 3: a whole offseason as an NFL player, you had a

1215
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 3: whole season as a rookie, like now you know what

1216
01:04:33,160 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 3: to expect.

1217
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 8: I think you can make the argument that adding the

1218
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:44,720
Speaker 8: players they've added will make them better, sure, right, But

1219
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 8: I think that's hollow. I think that's hollow to the

1220
01:04:46,840 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 8: fan base. I think the fan base wanted to see

1221
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 8: that box checked in free agency. I certainly wanted to

1222
01:04:52,440 --> 01:04:55,200
Speaker 8: see it checked in free agency. And they're so close,

1223
01:04:55,440 --> 01:04:58,680
Speaker 8: right It feels like they're so close to having this successful,

1224
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,760
Speaker 8: well done check every box off season. And I never

1225
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 8: thought they were going to get the big splash. I

1226
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 8: never thought they were going to get the top one

1227
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 8: or two players at whatever position they were going to address.

1228
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 8: But they've improved the pass rush, they've improved the tackling.

1229
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 8: They had to improve linebacker, and it's disappointing that here

1230
01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:24,840
Speaker 8: we are now looking forward, most likely to the draft

1231
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 8: as a place to address it. If they're going to

1232
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 8: address it unless they want to bring in an Orin

1233
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 8: Burks type player, and I don't know how much that's

1234
01:05:31,280 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 8: going to help in that position. It's disappointed the Bengals

1235
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 8: didn't address that, and I think it might at the

1236
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 8: end of the twenty twenty six season be something we

1237
01:05:40,280 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 8: point back at and say, hm, that kind of defined

1238
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 8: the season.

1239
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, wouldn't be surprised if we see a Keem Davis

1240
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 3: Gaither eventually come back. But before we let you go,

1241
01:05:49,880 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 3: your buddy Trey Henderson now a Baltimore Raven.

1242
01:05:53,240 --> 01:06:03,280
Speaker 8: Your reaction, it's interesting, it's a fresh start. Trey is

1243
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 8: an enigma.

1244
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 3: Okay.

1245
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,439
Speaker 8: So I was on a Baltimore radio station last week

1246
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 8: and they were asking me about Trey Hendrickson, and I said, listen,

1247
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 8: you know when he gets in front of the cameras

1248
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 8: and he talks about his faith and his family, and

1249
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 8: those are two pillars. And I'm not saying those two

1250
01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:25,920
Speaker 8: things aren't legitimate. Those are two legitimate things. He also

1251
01:06:26,080 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 8: has a selfish side to him that he doesn't do

1252
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:32,439
Speaker 8: a lot of interviews, and when he did do them,

1253
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:34,320
Speaker 8: he would act like he didn't know how many sacks

1254
01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 8: he had, and then you would see these clips of

1255
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:38,640
Speaker 8: him when he was miked up, calling up to the

1256
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 8: press box making sure he was credited for the sacks

1257
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 8: he got on the field, asking people the number of

1258
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 8: sacks he had. There's a little bit of disingenuous side

1259
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 8: to Trey Hendrickson and all that's saying. When he goes

1260
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:58,480
Speaker 8: to Baltimore, he's going to be productive. Right, Teams value

1261
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 8: what he does well he gets to the quarterback, He's

1262
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:05,840
Speaker 8: going to help Baltimore. But I am glad the Trey

1263
01:07:05,880 --> 01:07:09,520
Speaker 8: Hendrickson era in Cincinnati is done. He did a lot

1264
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,920
Speaker 8: for the Bengals. What he did for them should be

1265
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 8: celebrated on the field. And I understand he was a

1266
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 8: captain in his last year, but sometimes guys leaving is

1267
01:07:20,880 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 8: a good thing, and I think this is a good

1268
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 8: thing for the Cincinnati Bengals.

1269
01:07:24,880 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 4: Do you think there's going to be contingent to Savior

1270
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:28,919
Speaker 4: fans that make the trip to Dayton to Bouchamp Miller today?

1271
01:07:30,080 --> 01:07:32,960
Speaker 8: I would be surprised. Now you've asked I think you

1272
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 8: asked a poll question earlier. What are you watch it?

1273
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:37,040
Speaker 8: And I roll Baseball Classic of the first four I'm

1274
01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 8: watching World Baseball Classic. I'm all in, But I will

1275
01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 8: sample the Texas game to see if anything like that happens.

1276
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 8: I doubt it's anything that comes across through on television.

1277
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 8: There will be some boots, There's no doubt there's some

1278
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 8: people regionally who are going to go to the game

1279
01:07:54,760 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 8: in Boucheawn Miller. I just don't know if it'll make

1280
01:07:56,880 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 8: the kind of impact that would be noteworthy the or

1281
01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:02,640
Speaker 8: heard on television.

1282
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 3: That's fair. Speaking of television, what's a true company? Man?

1283
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 3: He chose the World Baseball Classic on Fox nineteen, Joe, Hey, we've.

1284

01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 8: teams going for that, so we'll be covering that this

1288

1303
01:09:06,120 --> 01:09:09,040
Speaker 8: it to get down through the traffic to the ball

1304
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,639

1305
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 8: our pregame show that goes live on the air immediately

1306
01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 8: after the parade. So this is my big moment, right

1307
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,719
Speaker 8: when I'm jumping in the car and I'm changing clothing

1308
01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:25,519
Speaker 8: to match whatever Jeremy's going to wear to get down

1309

Speaker 8: of the ballpark after the parade. Big day.

1310
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,599
Speaker 4: You ever thought about being on air that long? Maybe

1311
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 4: mixing in a karaoke segment?

1312
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 5: Ha ha ha.

1313
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 8: I was thinking the other day ton about I need

1314
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 8: to work in a new song and what happened to

1315
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:44,040
Speaker 8: my intro music, which was my greatest karaoke moment ever.

1316
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've witnessed some karaoke and I think viewers and

1317
01:09:47,240 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 4: listeners alike would welcome that I have it somewhere.

1318
01:09:50,600 --> 01:09:54,840
Speaker 8: I can't even name the artist anymore because his name

1319
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:55,759
Speaker 8: is so toxic.

1320
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:01,160
Speaker 3: I wish I had it ready. I don't know, it

1321
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:03,479
Speaker 3: would take me a while, but you, uh, you'll bring

1322
01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: it back. You're the best.

1340
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 6: didn't go as well as you hoped. I think this

1341
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:09,759
Speaker 6: year the year you put Matt McClain for MVP Odds,

1342
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 6: because is the way he's playing right now, Oh tiny,

1343
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 6: don't stand a chance. And in honor of nine days,

1344
01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:20,000
Speaker 6: I like to throw out the name Paul Bocco, the

1345
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 6: utility specialist, Juan Castros, and outside of Hobby Valentine, the

1346
01:11:25,600 --> 01:11:27,960
Speaker 6: other pitch shitter Jacob Cruse.

1347
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 3: Wow, I forgot all about Juan Castro. Yep, he played

1348
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 3: quite a bit. Great drop. Paul Bacco was the catcher

1349
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 3: for the Cubs who laced that double into the center

1350
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 3: field on opening Day that destroyed Ken Griffy Junior's shoulder.

1351
01:11:44,920 --> 01:11:49,519
Speaker 3: Man back in Like, what year was that? One? Great

1352
01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 3: pool row two? Paul Bocco.

1353
01:11:52,479 --> 01:11:57,120
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, Jeff and the Richmond Happy First four Tuesdays? Yeah,

1354
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:02,040
Speaker 14: just curious. What's yours are for tonight? Will you be

1355
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 14: watching the first four or is it something that you

1356
01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 14: don't get into until one shining moment at noon on Thursday?

1357
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 3: Take care, have a great day, guys. No, I'm in.

1358
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:15,599
Speaker 3: I'm in now.

1359
01:12:17,080 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 4: I don't have as much interest in UMBC and Howard. Yeah,

1360
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 4: so I will start with the World Baseball Classic. I

1361
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 4: would imagine that Texas NC State tips off about nine

1362
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 4: twenty five, nine thirty. I'll flip over for that, but

1363
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:33,519
Speaker 4: I will most of the time be on the World

1364
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 4: Baseball Classic and less one of the team scores, you know,

1365
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 4: a couple runs early, then I'll switch over to the game,

1366
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,000
Speaker 4: but will march madness for me.

1367
01:12:40,120 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 3: I'll have Fox and watching the World Baseball Classic on

1368
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 3: my big TV. I'll have the tournament on the iPad.

1369
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:51,400
Speaker 3: Probably won't be paying too much attention to the iPad,

1370
01:12:52,040 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 3: and I'll be asleep by the time the Texas game starts.

1371
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,840
Speaker 3: Happy Sat Patty's Day to you Tony on out there.

1372
01:12:58,439 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 5: I hope you're doing well.

1373
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 9: Hope you made it in fakely this morning. Nasty out there. Wow,

1374
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,240
Speaker 9: Wadle going for a fourth round pick. What a cheap

1375
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 9: trade that was, in my opinion, Fellas. We are now

1376
01:13:10,120 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 9: nine kind of nine, Joe Oliver days away from Red.

1377
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 8: Legs opening day. I can't wait to see you guys

1378
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:17,719
Speaker 8: on the twenty six.

1379
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,400
Speaker 3: Take care of everybody and go Red Leggs walk off

1380
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 3: in the World Series. Joe Oliver, there we go, Kevin.

1381
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 3: They did have a first and third round pick in

1382
01:13:27,160 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 3: there as well, Yes, so they swapped the fourth and Awson.

1383
01:13:31,880 --> 01:13:34,040
Speaker 16: I started out in the morning listen to Dan Patrick

1384
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 16: on iHeart, and then I switch over and listen to

1385
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:42,520
Speaker 16: you too. If I hear the Smokey the Bear commercial

1386
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 16: about forest fires one more time, I'm going to punch

1387
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:47,000
Speaker 16: Smoky the Bear right.

1388
01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 3: In the f.

1389
01:13:49,439 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 17: See.

1390
01:13:51,720 --> 01:13:54,720
Speaker 3: I know exactly what you're talking about. I wish I

1391
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,880
Speaker 3: had some control over that, but I don't. I apologize.

1392
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,280
Speaker 18: Oh, I don't think anyone's really going to day to

1393
01:14:00,280 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 18: booth that MT. I think if you really talked to

1394
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 18: Xavier fans, true fans, they don't care. I mean, he

1395
01:14:05,320 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 18: was a coach for how long ago. They've kind of

1396
01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,479
Speaker 18: moved past that year. And if you're going to be

1397
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:12,680
Speaker 18: that bitter about not having anything else to do to

1398
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 18: go boo him and Dayton, then you don't have a life.

1399
01:14:15,600 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 18: I mean, majority of the Xavier fans.

1400
01:14:19,200 --> 01:14:19,719
Speaker 19: Don't care.

1401
01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 3: I mean it's been less than a year, right since

1402
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,080
Speaker 3: he was the head coaches A. Yeah, he coached in

1403
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 3: the first four last year for Xavier. Yeah, my bad, fellas.

1404
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 9: I completely screw that information up there on Waddle. I

1405
01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 9: completely looked at it wrong. Take care all right, Dan.

1406
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 9: He's not afraid to own up to his mistake.

1407
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:39,920
Speaker 20: Good afternoon, gentlemen.

1408
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:43,680
Speaker 9: I guess seeing the space junk even jumping out this

1409
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,559
Speaker 9: guy in Cleveland has proved that nothing wants to be

1410
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:47,760

1435
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:05,400

1436
01:16:05,439 --> 01:16:07,880
Speaker 22: walked the guy, he's given up a homer. Okay, it's

Speaker 22: one of seven whip guys beat in two fifty seven

1438
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,280

1441
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,320

01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 4: This is what we talked about when we bring that up.

1445
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 4: I know we're gonna get hit with Its only spring training,

1446
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,200
Speaker 4: but we'll just delivering information. All I heard right there

1447
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 4: is take the over on opening day.

1448
01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:37,040

01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:47,120
Speaker 19: Patrick's Day. I got a lot of Saint Patrick's Day stories,

1452
01:16:47,160 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 19: but we don't have time for that. Jalen Waddle, I

1453
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 19: I'm really surprised they'd get a one in a three form.

1454
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 19: Gonna be a great tournament.

1455
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 3: Preach.

1456
01:17:01,800 --> 01:17:04,840
Speaker 23: So guys, Big Kahuna in Kentucky, if Tito heady A

1457
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:08,879
Speaker 23: doubles to him, he would find guys like Abbot Green Modolo.

1458
01:17:08,960 --> 01:17:10,800
Speaker 23: He puts a spit on their nose for coming into

1459
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 23: camp out of shake, not ready to play, living it

1460
01:17:13,240 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 23: up too much in the off season. You got guys

1461
01:17:14,960 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 23: like JJ Budey coming in producing laying it online.

1462
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:20,320
Speaker 3: If Budet's not on the opening day roster, that's a

1463
01:17:20,400 --> 01:17:21,600
Speaker 3: coaching male practice.

1464
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 23: And Otti you talking about yesterday, Burrows patients are gonna

1465
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,519
Speaker 23: be wearing thin Who cares.

1466
01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:30,200

1471
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 24: gonna sit on our hands. We're gonna take a big swing,

1472
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:49,880
Speaker 24: not gonna lie. I like the three players that we got,

1473
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 24: But you know what, this is a constant uh over

1474
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 24: promised under deliver. Just really frustrated as a Bengals fan,

1475
01:17:57,760 --> 01:17:58,400
Speaker 24: and I'm Franklin.

1476
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:01,200
Speaker 3: I'm just really tired of it. Guys, have a great day, guys,

Speaker 3: take care. I agree.

1478
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 12: Hello, this is former President Ronald o'reagan and wail Yesterday's

1479
01:18:07,840 --> 01:18:11,800
Speaker 12: discussion about Mick o' cronin underachieving as you See's coach

1480
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 12: in the tournament. Got me the checking on some stats,

1481
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 12: and it's true. He always seemed to get beat by

1482
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 12: lower seeded teams and only once did he upset a

1483
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 12: higher seeded team.

1484
01:18:21,600 --> 01:18:23,200
Speaker 3: Oh, but I can do you one better.

1485
01:18:23,880 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 12: Bob o' huggins never beat a higher seeded team during

1486
01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 12: his tenure at u SEE in the NCAA tournament.

1487
01:18:30,760 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 3: Look it up. How about that? Oh, Bobo Huggins, write

1488
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:35,160
Speaker 3: that down.

1489
01:18:36,360 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 6: I just wanted to say that I'm picking against Kentucky

1490
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:43,839
Speaker 6: and all my brackets because they stole Sincy three sixty

1491
01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 6: from three days.

1492
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:52,200
Speaker 3: So screw you UK. Wow.

1493
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 25: Nah, not panicking yet, but I'm definitely keeping eye on

1494
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,920
Speaker 25: his pitching. We got a problem repping the city. I

1495
01:18:58,040 --> 01:18:59,960
Speaker 25: here in Sonny Man is getting hots.

1496
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:00,840
Speaker 3: I don't know what up, Tony?

1497
01:19:00,880 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 6: What up?

1498
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: Buddy?

1499
01:19:01,640 --> 01:19:01,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

1500
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:04,240
Speaker 25: Every year, same old thing with the script is pitching.

1501
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,280
Speaker 25: Something's going wrong that it's a little shaky. I'm just

1502
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:09,160
Speaker 25: gonna say it's early right now to do that. Too

1503
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 25: early to be panicking, But I am keeping a close

1504
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:12,759
Speaker 25: eye on this situation.

1505
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 3: Yup.

1506
01:19:13,560 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 25: I entered a tournament Chinage I just put myself down.

1507
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:18,240
Speaker 25: I filled my bracket out on the what Joey Dean

1508
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 25: talking about, I'd have went on and did it. I'm

1509
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 25: rolling with the aid even though I'm still Cincinnati.

1510
01:19:24,120 --> 01:19:26,960
Speaker 3: I hope Ronnie ron takes care of himself out there

1511
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 3: with that extreme heat. Yeah, a lot of heat.

1512
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 26: A couple of quick traft thoughts. I think the second

1513
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 26: round we have to take a defensive tackle. There's too

1514
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 26: many kind big names at the top with fifty picks

1515
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 26: or so.

1516
01:19:38,479 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 3: Our first pick.

1517
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:42,040
Speaker 26: If Caleb Downs is gone and Something Styles is gone,

1518
01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 26: I think I'd rather trade back to fifteen to twenty

1519
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,120
Speaker 26: range and get a Keen Mezsador. Everybody's talking about Bating,

1520
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 26: nobody's talking about Mesador and he waked Havoc.

1521
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 3: What do you think? Okay, I'm always down for more

1522
01:19:57,720 --> 01:19:59,840
Speaker 3: edge rushers. I would love to trade back and get

1523
01:20:00,160 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 3: extra pick. I don't believe in them to do that

1524
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,839
Speaker 3: because they don't do that very often.

1525
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:09,320
Speaker 26: Double dipping with all the top picks we spent on

1526
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 26: defensive end and linebacker in the last couple of years,

1527
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:16,839
Speaker 26: I would rather get guys like Cameron Jordan and Bobby Wagner.

1528
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 26: Very old. But there's a reason they're still playing in

1529
01:20:20,840 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 26: the league. It would almost be like having a coach

1530
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 26: on the field. There's so much they could teach our

1531
01:20:25,640 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 26: young guys that could propel us for the next five, six,

1532
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,240
Speaker 26: seven years, hopefully. But I would rather do that than

1533
01:20:32,360 --> 01:20:35,520
Speaker 26: spend money on another starter and have wasted picks.

1534
01:20:35,880 --> 01:20:37,840
Speaker 3: Yep, I would take Bobby Wagner right now.

1535
01:20:38,240 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 27: Yes, hello, guys, Well, just a couple more days of

1536
01:20:42,840 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 27: this kind of rabby weather.

1537
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:46,080
Speaker 3: Be patient.

1538
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 27: Hey, listen, I was listening to you talk about the Reds.

1539
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 27: It just rings in my ear. The pitching, the hitting

1540
01:20:56,520 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 27: lack of They had good pitch games last year and

1541
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:07,879
Speaker 27: we could not score runs and other teams score runs.

1542
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:11,280
Speaker 3: Well, hopefully they'll score more.

1543
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:17,080
Speaker 17: You know the dumb guy that always asks dumb questions.

1544
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:20,960
Speaker 17: This is for my friend that thinks I'm dumb. I

1545
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:22,080
Speaker 17: got a dumb question.

1546
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:26,520
Speaker 28: So my dumb question is, when you fill out your bracket,

1547
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,719
Speaker 28: do you start like, do you pick your elite eight

1548
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 28: and then work backwards or do you pick the entire

1549
01:21:32,960 --> 01:21:34,200
Speaker 28: field and move forward.

1550
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:38,320
Speaker 17: I'm just here ask you dumb questions.

1551
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:39,160
Speaker 3: Is going by.

1552
01:21:40,640 --> 01:21:42,160
Speaker 2: And I'm with you, Tony.

1553
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 27: I will be watching the Baseball Classic, but I'll have

1554
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:46,960
Speaker 27: a double screen so I can see the basketball game.

1555
01:21:47,760 --> 01:21:50,200
Speaker 27: And you know, if it gets the basketball games gets

1556
01:21:50,240 --> 01:21:52,760
Speaker 27: blah blah, then I'll just put the full screen on

1557
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:53,080
Speaker 27: for the.

1558
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:54,640
Speaker 3: TV blah blah.

1559
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:59,639
Speaker 27: Love March Madness, God, I love it. I can't wait

1560
01:21:59,680 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 27: to watch the women to this year. It's just you

1561
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 27: know me, all right, guys, be safe, stay warm.

1562
01:22:05,600 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 4: Now do you start front the back or do you

1563
01:22:08,479 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 4: pick the winner first and then work backwards?

1564
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,280
Speaker 3: I start front the back, okay, but I do like

1565
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 3: I'll like pick through an entire region and then go

1566
01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 3: to the next region. Pick through an entire region.

1567
01:22:17,960 --> 01:22:21,120
Speaker 29: Okay, double dip to you with it? Hey, I got

1568
01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 29: a Thad Mada story. So, uh Skyline the night before

1569
01:22:25,200 --> 01:22:28,920
Speaker 29: the game would have a private party at their downtown location,

1570
01:22:29,840 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 29: and uh so Thad Mada and Bob Huggins were sitting

1571
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 29: at a table signing Basketball's. Thad Mada actually talked to

1572
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 29: me for a couple of minutes. Bob's Huggins sucked, wouldn't

1573
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:45,920
Speaker 29: even look up. I think he was on the phone

1574
01:22:45,960 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 29: the whole time signing basketballs.

1575
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:52,479
Speaker 4: Hey, by the way, with Butler's job being open, can

1576
01:22:52,520 --> 01:22:55,320
Speaker 4: we take a moment Austin for Bruce Pearl who.

1577
01:22:55,160 --> 01:22:58,639
Speaker 3: Got Got yesterday. I'm shocked to hear that fake social

1578
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 3: media account he that said that Travis Steele was already

1579
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,320
Speaker 3: accepted the job at Butler. Now it is Travis Steel's

1580
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:08,160
Speaker 3: alma mata, that's where he graduated from. But Bruce bral

1581
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,479
Speaker 3: got got yesterday. You hate to see it is Butler,

1582
01:23:11,560 --> 01:23:14,400
Speaker 3: like the only school you think that could take Travis

1583
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 3: this year. I'm still not a It's not a ridiculous

1584
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:19,839
Speaker 3: moving away.

1585
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I do think that there is something with

1586
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 4: a school that you spent so much time and graduated

1587
01:23:24,960 --> 01:23:26,840
Speaker 4: from and have the opportunity to go back and coach

1588
01:23:26,880 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 4: in the Big East. Get that chance, like you'd be

1589
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 4: coaching against your former employer who fired you. Yeah, year

1590
01:23:33,479 --> 01:23:34,960
Speaker 4: in and year out. So I think I think it's

1591
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:35,559
Speaker 4: one to watch.

1592
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 3: All right, We're done.

1593
01:23:36,680 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break one segment when we

1594
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,720
Speaker 4: get back today. Yes, sir on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

01:23:54,800 --> 01:23:59,639
Speaker 4: Since he three to sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

1598
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:03,280
Speaker 4: We're gonna have some Bengals conversations happening in the third

1599
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:05,880
Speaker 4: and final hour Joe Burrow's career six years in.

1600
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 3: Let's take a view of that.

1601
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:12,320
Speaker 4: The Bengals cap conversation, which is increasing over the last

1602
01:24:12,320 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 4: couple of days and quite frankly mind boggling with what's

1603
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 4: going on with how these deals are being done in

1604
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 4: the first year from a cap hit standpoint, with what

1605
01:24:21,360 --> 01:24:23,519
Speaker 4: the Bengals are trying to accomplish. Nonetheless, we'll get to

1606
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:26,040
Speaker 4: that an hour. Number three, also a little bit of

1607
01:24:26,080 --> 01:24:29,439
Speaker 4: a pat noon in conversation, the latest buzz around UC

1608
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 4: basketball and their coaching search, and of course Austin. Now

1609
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 4: nine days away from Red's opening Day, which means we've

1610
01:24:36,479 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 4: got to rehash some of the best Reds to wear

1611
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:39,960
Speaker 4: number nine.

1612
01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out here and say, Jack Hannahan is

1613
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 3: on the list. Jack Hannahan, Yeah, where's Hanny at was

1614
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,080
Speaker 3: he on there? Yeah?

1615
01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:53,080
Speaker 4: Twenty thirteen, twenty fourteen, Yeah, what about that one fateful

1616
01:24:53,160 --> 01:24:54,879
Speaker 4: year of Marlon Byrd as a Red.

1617
01:24:54,760 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 3: You know, Marlon Bird. I don't think he was you

1618
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:58,400
Speaker 3: have to look this up. I don't think he had

1619
01:24:58,400 --> 01:24:59,599
Speaker 3: a bad year for the Reds.

1620
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:05,960
Speaker 4: For the Reds in Marlin fifteen forty two ribies, okay,

1621
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:08,880
Speaker 4: nineteen home runs, yeah, for Marlon Bird.

1622
01:25:09,040 --> 01:25:11,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, Marlin Bird was okay, he could play a little bit.

1623
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 4: Marlon Byrd that year for the Reds hit two thirty seven,

1624
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 4: which would have put him right near the top of

1625
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 4: last year's squad.

1626
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:21,320
Speaker 3: I know in twenty ten, Willy Bloomquist was a part

1627
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:23,800
Speaker 3: of that special team. And it's a shame that Moe

1628
01:25:23,840 --> 01:25:27,360
Speaker 3: is missing today because I believe Willy Bloomquist is like

1629
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 3: one of his favorite Reds of all time. Really yeah,

1630
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 3: I mean he only played in eleven games for the

1631
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,679
Speaker 3: Reds that year, but he's a National League Central Division champion?

1632
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 3: Was Willy Bloomquist? Is Mike Mustakas on that list from

1633
01:25:39,560 --> 01:25:43,719
Speaker 3: mo Uh, it's a good question. I'm gonna guess he's

1634
01:25:43,760 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 3: probably not future favorite Reds. Yeah, there was a couple

1635
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,519
Speaker 3: of minutes where Mike Mustakas was fun number nine.

1636
01:25:51,680 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 4: Now, once Moose was done wearing it, he gave it

1637
01:25:54,800 --> 01:25:58,040
Speaker 4: up to the current wearer of number nine and future

1638
01:25:58,160 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 4: nl MVP Award winner Mapics.

1639
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 3: No, there's a couple of good ones in here, like

1640
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 3: obviously you know, Dante Baschett and Joe Oliver and wish

1641
01:26:07,360 --> 01:26:10,719
Speaker 3: it could have been bo How Morris wore a morris Man,

1642
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 3: Jose Perrazza. Yeah, there was a period of time in

1643
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,960
Speaker 3: which I thought Jose Parrazza was the future. He was

1644
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 3: here for a while. What about you remember when Mike

1645
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 3: Mustakas hit those homers during COVID and the grounds crew

1646
01:26:23,800 --> 01:26:26,640
Speaker 3: did the moose sign. That was like one of the

1647
01:26:26,680 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 3: highlights of my Reds fandom. Terry Pendleton in nineteen ninety

1648
01:26:30,280 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 3: seven hit two forty seven for the Red Lights. Terry Pendleton.

1649
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 3: Could he could flat out play? Yeah, a little while,

1650
01:26:35,479 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 3: not always with the red You could go get and

1651
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,840
Speaker 3: come back with it. What about Luis Kenones the East,

1652
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:47,559
Speaker 3: great name Plumber Venable Vinible, Bill Plumber. Yeah, Hank Foyles.

1653
01:26:49,080 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 3: Now you go back a couple of years, nineteen sixty one,

1654
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,760
Speaker 3: Hal bevin Well. I was thinking about nineteen sixty with

1655
01:26:54,880 --> 01:27:00,839
Speaker 3: Dutch Daughterer. M What about Joe Fraser. What about Ray Lomano,

1656
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:05,479
Speaker 3: which is scarily similar to Ray Romano. Yep, Ray sounds

1657
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:09,719
Speaker 3: like he was probably in some type of mafia related shows.

1658
01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:12,080
Speaker 3: So you think he'd be playing for the Italian national team.

1659
01:27:12,640 --> 01:27:19,040
Speaker 3: Lou Riggs, Ray Lomano, Chick Hafey, what about Old Chickster

1660
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 3: He showed up for the Red Legs with his laptop.

1661
01:27:22,400 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 3: I heard I'm gonna be working with the Chickster again

1662
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 3: on draft night, are you? Yeah? You and the Chickster. Now,

1663
01:27:28,360 --> 01:27:30,719
Speaker 3: I think you guys will actually probably have the pick

1664
01:27:30,760 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 3: this year. That would be something be it being tenth

1665
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 3: or less the trade back that would be given to

1666
01:27:37,120 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 3: be in the Chickster, but to another draft night. You know,

1667
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 3: the more I thought about it yesterday, the scenarios we

1668
01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 3: both worked through with PFF and the Draft shim Leader,

1669
01:27:51,520 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 3: people got mad at me for that.

1670
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't't to understand, like that's I feel like

1671
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:59,160
Speaker 4: the further we get into this, the more plausible that

1672
01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:00,880
Speaker 4: is that all those names are going to be off

1673
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 4: the board.

1674
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:06,479
Speaker 3: Like I was just reading Daniel Jeremiah. He released his

1675
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:13,040
Speaker 3: new mock draft and it's very similar. All those guys

1676
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:19,680
Speaker 3: are gone except Caleb Downs. And I legitimately think in

1677
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 3: that scenario, because of how they have screwed up free agency,

1678
01:28:24,360 --> 01:28:28,800
Speaker 3: the Bengals would not take Caleb Downs because they have

1679
01:28:28,960 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 3: a history of painting themselves into a corner and reaching

1680
01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,599
Speaker 3: for need. And this like exact scenario was brought up

1681
01:28:36,640 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 3: to Duke Tobin at the scouting combine where He's asked like, well,

1682
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:42,120
Speaker 3: let's say you sign a safety and then you get

1683
01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 3: to the draft and Caleb Downs is still available, and

1684
01:28:44,200 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 3: he obviously was like, wasn't going to show his hand,

1685
01:28:47,000 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 3: but like, as a very real possibility, I think they

1686
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:52,840
Speaker 3: would take the corner, I really do.

1687
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:54,519
Speaker 4: I'm got me give you this scenario as well. This

1688
01:28:54,640 --> 01:29:00,000
Speaker 4: was Kuiper's mock draft today. Mendoza, David Bailey, Rvel Reese,

1689
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:04,400
Speaker 4: Jeremiah Love, Caleb Downs. He's got Monroe freeling jumping up

1690
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 4: to number six to the Browns.

1691
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that name has been leaked to the Browns quite

1692
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:11,599
Speaker 3: a bit lately. I think there's a real possibility that happens.

1693
01:29:11,680 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 4: Sunny Style seven, Carnel tit eight, Reuben Bain goes nine.

1694
01:29:15,640 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 4: So at ten you would have the ability at Mansor, Delaney,

1695
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:25,680
Speaker 4: Jermal McCoy and Francis Malinoa. Would you still lean now

1696
01:29:26,400 --> 01:29:30,280
Speaker 4: Kuiper has them taking Mansor from LSU to corner if

1697
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 4: that scenario presented itself, is corner a bigger need than

1698
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,639
Speaker 4: Francis Maluiinoa as a tackle?

1699
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 3: It was fran it was it was Malinoa, Delane and

1700
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,120
Speaker 3: who is the other one? Jermal McCoy is still out there,

1701
01:29:44,200 --> 01:29:47,799
Speaker 3: I would take mansor Delane Okay, yeah in that scenario,

1702
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:51,360
Speaker 3: because you really don't know the future of corner and

1703
01:29:51,439 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 3: you have three viable cornerbacks on your roster. That is

1704
01:29:55,600 --> 01:29:57,559
Speaker 3: one of one of the positions where you need to

1705
01:29:57,600 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 3: have at least five dudes that are not going to

1706
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:02,679
Speaker 3: hurt you with a step on the field. They have three.

1707
01:30:03,120 --> 01:30:06,080
Speaker 3: I feel like one of them is a Nickel specialist.

1708
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 4: But I feel like more and more the later this

1709
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 4: gets in the process and the closer the draft gets,

1710
01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:15,080
Speaker 4: I feel like I see corner more than anything else

1711
01:30:15,080 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 4: for the Bengals.

1712
01:30:15,760 --> 01:30:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, because they haven't addressed it, yep. And and teams

1713
01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 3: know how the Bengals, or people know how the Bengals operate,

1714
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:27,439
Speaker 3: and they don't have enough corners. I'm gonna pull up see,

1715
01:30:27,439 --> 01:30:30,639
Speaker 3: I'm pull up my roster here real quick and make

1716
01:30:30,680 --> 01:30:35,800
Speaker 3: sure I have this correct and at cornerback right now.

1717
01:30:35,880 --> 01:30:43,719
Speaker 3: Guys currently on the team, DJ Turner, Dax Hill, Jalen Davis,

1718
01:30:44,920 --> 01:30:54,720
Speaker 3: dj Ivy, Josh Newton, Jalen Kimber, and Braylan Lux. Good

1719
01:30:54,720 --> 01:30:58,479
Speaker 3: point and no disrespect to dj Ivy, And I thought

1720
01:30:58,560 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 3: dj Ivy played good towards the end of last year.

1721
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 3: I think he can compete for that spot. Josh Newton

1722
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 3: hasn't shown it, Jalen Kimber and Brandon Lux haven't seen

1723
01:31:07,120 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 3: the field, and Jalen Davis is a nickel guy. And

1724
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:17,920
Speaker 3: two of those dudes are facing contract extensions. Just knowing

1725
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 3: how they do things and the way that they you know,

1726
01:31:22,520 --> 01:31:26,120
Speaker 3: like the Jesse Bates thing, the Andrew Whitworth thing. Drafting

1727
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:31,400
Speaker 3: to replace players, Yep, I'm almost willing to guarantee that

1728
01:31:31,479 --> 01:31:33,280
Speaker 3: it's going to be a corner, and if it's not

1729
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:36,000
Speaker 3: a corner, it's going to be a defensive tackle because

1730
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:37,160
Speaker 3: they're old at that position.

1731
01:31:38,080 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it would just be interesting because of what the

1732
01:31:40,920 --> 01:31:44,360
Speaker 4: Orlando Brown junior does that news does. Does that take

1733
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:47,880
Speaker 4: them out of MAUI? Noah, who again is yes, I

1734
01:31:47,920 --> 01:31:51,519
Speaker 4: think it does. Yeah, So this will continue to play out.

1735
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:54,200
Speaker 4: We'll continue to talk about it leading up to the draft.

1736
01:31:54,200 --> 01:31:56,640
Speaker 4: But I agree, it does feel more and more like

1737
01:31:56,720 --> 01:32:00,559
Speaker 4: I'm seeing the Bengals in some way or another connected

1738
01:32:00,560 --> 01:32:03,880
Speaker 4: to a corner. At number ten, we'll take a break.

1739
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:07,400
Speaker 4: Our number three starts next. Let's start with the Cincinnati Bengals.

1740
01:32:07,479 --> 01:32:09,880
Speaker 4: Let's revisit a little bit of the cap conversation we

1741
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 4: had yesterday and uh more we know about that and

1742
01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:15,439
Speaker 4: your phone calls five on three, seven four nine, fifteen

1743
01:32:15,520 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 4: thirty on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports.

1744
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:19,959
Speaker 3: Station from the Durban heating temp start.

1745
01:32:20,000 --> 01:32:25,760
Speaker 1: Is Tony Pike since e three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati.

1746
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:30,639
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

1747
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 4: Our number three since E three sixty TESPN fifteen thirty

1748
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Sports Station. Thanks for listening to a long phone

1749
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:50,400
Speaker 4: lines are open. Five one three seven four nine, fifteen thirty, Austin.

1750
01:32:50,400 --> 01:32:52,559
Speaker 4: It became more of a talking point over the last

1751
01:32:52,560 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 4: forty eight hours when the details have been viewed of

1752
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:59,519
Speaker 4: the contracts that the Bengals have handed out in free agency,

1753
01:32:59,560 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 4: and we've talked about this as we've won along the

1754
01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:07,960
Speaker 4: pieces themselves makes sense. According to Pro Football Focus, the

1755
01:33:08,040 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 4: addition of Brian Cook and Boye Mafi Baffe both grade

1756
01:33:11,200 --> 01:33:14,799
Speaker 4: out as a BE for the Cincinnati Bengals, while Jonathan

1757
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:18,760
Speaker 4: Allen is a below average grade for the Bengals. But

1758
01:33:18,800 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 4: they all from a great standpoint, fall the moves themselves

1759
01:33:24,920 --> 01:33:28,320
Speaker 4: in that B B minus range, and collectively, I think

1760
01:33:28,360 --> 01:33:31,200
Speaker 4: there are three pieces that can genuinely help this team.

1761
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:37,320
Speaker 4: The pushback has now changed because of the twenty twenty

1762
01:33:37,360 --> 01:33:38,320
Speaker 4: six cap hits.

1763
01:33:38,320 --> 01:33:39,840
Speaker 3: And we talked about this yesterday.

1764
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty six cap hits in which Boye Mafe,

1765
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:49,080
Speaker 4: Brian Cook, and Jonathan Allen are going to be getting,

1766
01:33:49,720 --> 01:33:53,920
Speaker 4: and it is significantly higher than anyone else in the

1767
01:33:54,000 --> 01:33:59,880
Speaker 4: National Football League. And Joe Goodberry broke this down based

1768
01:33:59,880 --> 01:34:03,160
Speaker 4: on what the Bengals are doing around the league. The

1769
01:34:03,200 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 4: average year one cap hit Austin for free agent contracts

1770
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:12,200
Speaker 4: was fifty percent of their average per year value. The

1771
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:16,160
Speaker 4: Bengals cap hits went to eighty point nine percent. So

1772
01:34:16,200 --> 01:34:20,240
Speaker 4: again that's thirty percent higher of a cap hit than

1773
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 4: the rest of the NFL. And I know Paul Daner

1774
01:34:23,800 --> 01:34:25,639
Speaker 4: Junior was on with Moeger yesterday.

1775
01:34:25,720 --> 01:34:26,320
Speaker 3: I'm just.

1776
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:33,439
Speaker 4: I'm not understanding the rationale behind why the Bengals have

1777
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 4: done this.

1778
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:36,320
Speaker 3: The reason they do it is so that they have

1779
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 3: more control in future years, more cap space. And also

1780
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:44,599
Speaker 3: it appears on paper that they spent all the way

1781
01:34:44,680 --> 01:34:45,559
Speaker 3: up to the cap. Yeah.

1782
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:50,719
Speaker 4: Now, good Barry goes on, there are other teams Austin

1783
01:34:50,760 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 4: that gave out big year one cap hits. But listen

1784
01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 4: to these three teams and tell them what they have

1785
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 4: in common. The Raiders, the Titans, and the Cardinals gave

1786
01:34:58,840 --> 01:35:00,000
Speaker 4: out a ton of money in year one.

1787
01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,960
Speaker 3: They don't have huge quarterback contract, correct, The Cardinals do.

1788
01:35:04,080 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 3: They're still giving a bunch of money to the Kyler,

1789
01:35:05,760 --> 01:35:08,759
Speaker 3: but they don't have a bunch of other guys.

1790
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:10,960
Speaker 4: Tons of caps base and not a quarterback really to

1791
01:35:11,000 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 4: pay the Bengals due. And the Bengals also have a

1792
01:35:14,479 --> 01:35:17,320
Speaker 4: quarterback who has been open and willing to say, I'll

1793
01:35:17,360 --> 01:35:21,120
Speaker 4: restructure so that we can help the cap. And to

1794
01:35:21,160 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 4: go a little bit further, when you look at the

1795
01:35:23,880 --> 01:35:27,960
Speaker 4: Tree Hendrickson deal in detail with the Baltimore Ravens, it

1796
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:33,560
Speaker 4: makes it look even more concerning for the Cincinnati Bengals.

1797
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,640
Speaker 4: Trey Hendrickson, I get it four years, one hundred and

1798
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:39,680
Speaker 4: twelve million per over the cap. But if you look

1799
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:43,760
Speaker 4: at Hal Hendrickson's cap hit breaks down twenty twenty six,

1800
01:35:43,800 --> 01:35:46,880
Speaker 4: he gets fifteen million twenty twenty seven to eighteen million,

1801
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:48,880
Speaker 4: and then he's right around thirty four to thirty five

1802
01:35:48,920 --> 01:35:51,479
Speaker 4: million in twenty twenty eight, twenty twenty nine. But the

1803
01:35:51,600 --> 01:35:53,960
Speaker 4: Ravens can get out of the deal after twenty twenty

1804
01:35:54,040 --> 01:35:59,200
Speaker 4: seven with minimal cap hit based on the structure. Boye Mafe,

1805
01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,519
Speaker 4: for example, is going to get two million dollars more

1806
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:06,320
Speaker 4: from a cap hit than Trey Hendrickson in year one,

1807
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:11,280
Speaker 4: almost four million dollars more in year two. And I

1808
01:36:11,360 --> 01:36:14,200
Speaker 4: get it, Trey Hendrickson wanted guaranteed money in year two.

1809
01:36:14,200 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 4: The Bengals don't really do that. But if you look

1810
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:19,800
Speaker 4: at those cap hits, and you look at the way

1811
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,400
Speaker 4: it's gone with every signing that the Bengals had, and

1812
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 4: then you go back to the Hendrickson deal who was

1813
01:36:24,200 --> 01:36:27,120
Speaker 4: in Cincinnati, all of that adds up to just a

1814
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 4: very puzzling decision from this organization in what has been

1815
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:36,880
Speaker 4: called by Joe Burrow a paramount off season. I just

1816
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 4: worry Austin that they're not putting enough emphasis and urgency

1817
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:43,840
Speaker 4: on winning and trying to compete for a Super Bowl

1818
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:44,719
Speaker 4: in twenty twenty six.

1819
01:36:45,960 --> 01:36:48,280
Speaker 3: I don't worry about that. I just worry about the

1820
01:36:48,280 --> 01:36:50,880
Speaker 3: fact that they're too incompetent to understand what that actually

1821
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:51,320
Speaker 3: looks like.

1822
01:36:51,439 --> 01:36:54,000
Speaker 4: Are they incompetent or or is this just their way

1823
01:36:54,040 --> 01:36:54,800
Speaker 4: of getting around it.

1824
01:36:55,479 --> 01:36:58,880
Speaker 3: That's the point, that's the incompetence. Like the incompetence is

1825
01:36:58,880 --> 01:37:02,519
Speaker 3: that they think this is the best possible strategy and

1826
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 3: the strategy that you have to take in order to win,

1827
01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 3: and they're wrong. I mean, I shouldn't say that, because

1828
01:37:11,080 --> 01:37:13,680
Speaker 3: like it can work, and as I said yesterday, they

1829
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:17,000
Speaker 3: were a play away from it working, so there's something

1830
01:37:17,040 --> 01:37:20,720
Speaker 3: to it. It just makes it a lot harder. And

1831
01:37:20,840 --> 01:37:24,080
Speaker 3: what's inexcusable is is even if they did have these

1832
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,880
Speaker 3: year one cap hits with all these guys as is,

1833
01:37:28,760 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 3: they still could have signed Kaden Ellis, they still could

1834
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:33,559
Speaker 3: have signed le O'shanell. They still could have done it

1835
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:36,639
Speaker 3: their way and figured out a way to make it work.

1836
01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:37,679
Speaker 3: So and yet they didn't.

1837
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:39,559
Speaker 4: So let me ask you on that note, is it

1838
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:42,240
Speaker 4: more concerning the way they've structured this or is it

1839
01:37:42,280 --> 01:37:45,640
Speaker 4: more concerning that they weren't even in on those linebackers.

1840
01:37:45,760 --> 01:37:49,640
Speaker 3: More concerning that they weren't in on those linebackers because

1841
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Speaker 3: for some reason they think that those guys are going

1842
01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:58,360
Speaker 3: to be just fine, or that they're they're going to

1843
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:02,320
Speaker 3: give them another chance, or that the other players can't

1844
01:38:02,360 --> 01:38:06,600
Speaker 3: make them better linebackers. And I think that you know,

1845
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:10,439
Speaker 3: the point that Joe made was boy A Mafe and

1846
01:38:10,479 --> 01:38:13,240
Speaker 3: Brian Cook are gonna have an impact and that's gonna

1847
01:38:13,240 --> 01:38:17,679
Speaker 3: help them, and I agree with that. Is that enough, though,

1848
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,280
Speaker 3: because you still have question marks on the defensive line,

1849
01:38:22,000 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 3: I wonder, because they've done this in the past, if

1850
01:38:24,920 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 3: they'll use Boye Mafe kind of out of position as

1851
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,439
Speaker 3: that stand up linebacker instead of Demetrius Knight. And so

1852
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:36,480
Speaker 3: now Shamar Stewart has a bigger role in rushing the passer,

1853
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 3: Miles Murphy has a bigger role in rushing the passer.

1854
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:42,240
Speaker 3: Those sort of things that to me feels like a

1855
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:45,280
Speaker 3: bit of a mistake, but I don't hate at least

1856
01:38:45,280 --> 01:38:48,280
Speaker 3: seeing what it looks like. And and maybe there's I

1857
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:50,400
Speaker 3: don't know, there's there's a few different ways you can

1858
01:38:50,439 --> 01:38:54,000
Speaker 3: look at that, and I do think just in general

1859
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:58,559
Speaker 3: there should be improvement, but the bar is incredibly low.

1860
01:38:58,840 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 3: Even minimal improve movement is still horrible. Linebacker play, that

1861
01:39:03,479 --> 01:39:06,120
Speaker 3: room needed to be improved, all that stuff that they

1862
01:39:06,160 --> 01:39:07,559
Speaker 3: were looking for, they don't have it.

1863
01:39:07,920 --> 01:39:09,800
Speaker 4: And in free agency there's not a ton of names

1864
01:39:09,880 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 4: left mentioned. Bobby Wagner, Levante, David Jerome Baker is still

1865
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:18,360
Speaker 4: out there, but not a lot of needle movers at

1866
01:39:18,400 --> 01:39:22,800
Speaker 4: linebacker is there any scenario, and I get that it's

1867
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 4: never a scenario the Bengals do. We talk about this

1868
01:39:25,960 --> 01:39:29,640
Speaker 4: every year, talk about them trading down or reaching at

1869
01:39:29,640 --> 01:39:32,760
Speaker 4: a pick. We know that it's just historically not what

1870
01:39:32,800 --> 01:39:36,200
Speaker 4: they do to move up. But in this scenario, Austin,

1871
01:39:36,680 --> 01:39:40,000
Speaker 4: where they are so needy as of right now at linebacker,

1872
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,360
Speaker 4: is there ever a world in which you could view

1873
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,640
Speaker 4: Sunny Styles falling in the seven eight range and the

1874
01:39:47,640 --> 01:39:49,080
Speaker 4: Bengals going to get him.

1875
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:55,080
Speaker 3: No. The reason for that is they've already told you

1876
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 3: what they think of their linebackers, so that's not even

1877
01:39:59,520 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 3: a possible ability.

1878
01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:05,800
Speaker 4: Now, there's other linebackers you could find later, probably Jacob Rodriguez,

1879
01:40:05,880 --> 01:40:08,160
Speaker 4: a guy we've talked about from Texas Tech, Jake Golday

1880
01:40:08,760 --> 01:40:10,440
Speaker 4: right here for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

1881
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 3: But I just I would have a hard time buying

1882
01:40:14,520 --> 01:40:17,280
Speaker 3: in on the defensive side of the ball, Austin. If

1883
01:40:17,560 --> 01:40:22,360
Speaker 3: we start Bengals training camp and the linebacker room is

1884
01:40:22,400 --> 01:40:26,599
Speaker 3: as well, they'll add somebody. It's not gonna be somebody

1885
01:40:26,600 --> 01:40:27,679
Speaker 3: who's gonna play a bunch.

1886
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:31,640
Speaker 4: Right without a without a significant contributor being added to

1887
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:32,000
Speaker 4: this team.

1888
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:38,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, right now, linebackers are Carter Knight, Shaka Hayward,

1889
01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:42,320
Speaker 3: Orn Burke's pass pass, Joe Giles Harris who was awesome

1890
01:40:42,360 --> 01:40:46,600
Speaker 3: on special teams last year, and I believe Antoine Powell Ryland.

1891
01:40:47,760 --> 01:40:51,799
Speaker 3: They get you excited. No, no media, no what about

1892
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:53,200
Speaker 3: what about this? In Buffalo? Though?

1893
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:57,280
Speaker 4: You think this is getting Buffalo excited because Geno Stone,

1894
01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 4: who's the newest member of the Buffalo Bills, was asked

1895
01:41:01,360 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 4: about returning to his Baltimore form from twenty twenty three

1896
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:08,799
Speaker 4: and he said, this, getting back into a winning culture

1897
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,080
Speaker 4: is why he picked Buffalo. Being here, being around the

1898
01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,559
Speaker 4: guys and that kind of thing. The things they've done here,

1899
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:17,600
Speaker 4: it's the reasons I came here, having Josh Allen on

1900
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:19,720
Speaker 4: the other side of the ball, knowing I got a

1901
01:41:19,760 --> 01:41:23,560
Speaker 4: great quarterback I get to play with, buying this from Genostone,

1902
01:41:24,360 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 4: getting back into a winning culture. That's what was missing

1903
01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 4: here for Genostone.

1904
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,720
Speaker 3: He was a huge part of the losing culture. You

1905
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 3: ain't kidding, a large part of the losing culture. I

1906
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:43,160
Speaker 3: think Buffalo fans are excited because DeMar Hamlin was horrible

1907
01:41:43,240 --> 01:41:47,479
Speaker 3: last year and they think that anybody is bad news

1908
01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 3: for you. Yeah, unbelievable. I think I always go back

1909
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 3: to the idea of, well, it can't possibly get worse, Yes,

1910
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:59,800
Speaker 3: it can. We saw it get worse a year ago. Yep,

1911
01:42:00,120 --> 01:42:03,479
Speaker 3: we know that it can get worse. You cannot just

1912
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:09,599
Speaker 3: bank on the if pedigree of if they stay healthy,

1913
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:11,519
Speaker 3: or if they get a full year under their belt,

1914
01:42:11,560 --> 01:42:15,000
Speaker 3: or if these players are added, then they're going to

1915
01:42:15,040 --> 01:42:17,880
Speaker 3: get better, and you just can't bank on that. There's

1916
01:42:17,920 --> 01:42:20,240
Speaker 3: no depth at that position. Man, There's no depth at

1917
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:23,880
Speaker 3: a lot of these positions. And that's what's frustrating to

1918
01:42:23,920 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 3: me is, yeah, those additions are good, but they are

1919
01:42:27,160 --> 01:42:30,400
Speaker 3: not good enough. And because of the structure of the contract,

1920
01:42:30,760 --> 01:42:34,680
Speaker 3: you've hamstrung your ability to add legitimate depth pieces to

1921
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,120
Speaker 3: strengthen the entirety of the unit. Yep, that's it. I

1922
01:42:39,120 --> 01:42:42,320
Speaker 3: mean the defensive line you feel a little bit better about,

1923
01:42:42,360 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 3: and you're probably gonna draft one. Linebacker needs a ton

1924
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 3: of work. Cornerback needs a ton of work. Safety still

1925
01:42:47,960 --> 01:42:53,320
Speaker 3: needs work. Yep. Russ Yeast, PJ. Jewles, and Dejon Anthony

1926
01:42:53,439 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 3: are the safeties behind Jordan Battle and Brian Cook. Oh,

1927
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 3: by the way, you still need to figure out your

1928
01:42:58,800 --> 01:43:01,880
Speaker 3: offensive line. Who's your tackle gonna be? You probably need

1929
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:05,360
Speaker 3: to address tight end and you got a bunch of

1930
01:43:05,439 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 3: dudes that are mid behind Jamar Chase and T Higgins. Yeah,

1931
01:43:10,160 --> 01:43:13,320
Speaker 3: like that's the issue. I mean even like you know,

1932
01:43:13,400 --> 01:43:17,200
Speaker 3: for example, the Eagles today signed Hollywood Brown. I would

1933
01:43:17,240 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 3: have signed Hollywood Brown ten million dollar deal. Yep.

1934
01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:22,800
Speaker 4: I did think about the Eagles today when the Jalen

1935
01:43:22,840 --> 01:43:27,760
Speaker 4: Wattle news came down. Jalen Waddle to the Denver Broncos.

1936
01:43:27,800 --> 01:43:30,120
Speaker 4: They swap fourth round picks and the Dolphins also get

1937
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:32,720
Speaker 4: a first and third. What do you think the the

1938
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,679
Speaker 4: market would be for AJ Brown? Like, do you view

1939
01:43:35,720 --> 01:43:38,759
Speaker 4: AJ Brown as a better weapon than Jalen Waddle?

1940
01:43:40,320 --> 01:43:41,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? I would think so. I think there's a little

1941
01:43:41,720 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 3: bit more off the field drama that you gotta deal with.

1942
01:43:44,360 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 4: But more reliable on field from an injury standpoint probably.

1943
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I mean the price went up right, right,

1944
01:43:54,240 --> 01:43:57,200
Speaker 3: that's for sure. The price went up because of the

1945
01:43:57,240 --> 01:44:00,479
Speaker 3: Jalen Wattle deal if you're the Eagles, so maybe that

1946
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:04,040
Speaker 3: clarified some stuff. But I mean they immediately I wonder

1947
01:44:04,040 --> 01:44:07,320
Speaker 3: if they were trying to trade AJ Brown to the Dolphins, yeah,

1948
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:09,320
Speaker 3: or if they were trying to trade AJ Brown or

1949
01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,639
Speaker 3: not to the Dolphins to the Broncos or something along

1950
01:44:12,680 --> 01:44:16,439
Speaker 3: those lines, because they immediately pivoted to, you know, signing

1951
01:44:16,520 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown. And I don't know what exactly that means

1952
01:44:20,479 --> 01:44:26,000
Speaker 3: for for aj Brown, but I will say this, I

1953
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,360
Speaker 3: was a little bit wrong. Jalen Wattle has played more

1954
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,599
Speaker 3: games than I thought over the last couple of years.

1955
01:44:31,800 --> 01:44:35,960
Speaker 3: Played sixteen games last year, played fifteen games the year

1956
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:38,840
Speaker 3: before that. Yeah, I feel like fourteen twenty twenty three.

1957
01:44:39,040 --> 01:44:40,800
Speaker 3: Someone who had him in fantasy football. I feel like

1958
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 3: he left a lot of games early. Yeah, he always

1959
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 3: had a hamstring injury. I felt like it was never

1960
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:49,439
Speaker 3: he was always questionable. Yeah throughout the week. Yeah, exactly,

1961
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:50,639
Speaker 3: real quick.

1962
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:54,600
Speaker 4: Six years into the Joe Burrow experience here in Cincinnati,

1963
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:57,240
Speaker 4: I don't have much negative to say about Joe Burrow.

1964
01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 4: And it's not really the six years I'm looking at.

1965
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:00,880
Speaker 4: It's going forward.

1966
01:45:02,640 --> 01:45:06,200
Speaker 3: And I know this is a doomsday scenario here in Cincinnati,

1967
01:45:06,240 --> 01:45:09,160
Speaker 3: But if if you had to put a time stamp

1968
01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:12,559
Speaker 3: on it, how long do you feel like the Bengals

1969
01:45:12,560 --> 01:45:15,080
Speaker 3: have to get this right before Joe gets to that

1970
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:21,839
Speaker 3: point of frustration, like to where he would actually say, Okay,

1971
01:45:22,080 --> 01:45:25,599
Speaker 3: send me to a contender. I don't think we're close

1972
01:45:25,640 --> 01:45:31,519
Speaker 3: to that, but I think we're close to him very much,

1973
01:45:32,439 --> 01:45:37,200
Speaker 3: raking the organization over the coals publicly. Yeah, and you know,

1974
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,000
Speaker 3: I know most talked about this a little bit too.

1975
01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:42,719
Speaker 3: We're at the point now where a year from now,

1976
01:45:42,920 --> 01:45:45,479
Speaker 3: extension conversations are going to be happening with Joe Burrow,

1977
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:51,559
Speaker 3: and Joe's going to be laying out the evidence to say,

1978
01:45:51,560 --> 01:45:54,840
Speaker 3: why should I want to play for you? And that

1979
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 3: I think is what's important. I think two years he's

1980
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:01,439
Speaker 3: gonna be what thirty two. I think they've got this year,

1981
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,920
Speaker 3: and they've got twenty six and twenty seven to get

1982
01:46:03,920 --> 01:46:08,599
Speaker 3: it right, and then I would be legitimately concerned about

1983
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:12,599
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow. Yeah, let's take a break, let's come back.

1984
01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 3: There's other concerning news here in Cincinnati right now. One

1985
01:46:16,240 --> 01:46:20,800
Speaker 3: of those concerning avenues is the head coach of FC Cincinnati,

1986
01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:23,680
Speaker 3: who right now finds himself on a little bit of

1987
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 3: a hot seat. Let's talk for a few minutes about

1988
01:46:26,320 --> 01:46:29,760
Speaker 3: Pat Noonan, and we'll also talk about the latest in

1989
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:32,680
Speaker 3: the coaching search at the University of Cincinnati men's basketball

1990
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:36,439
Speaker 3: program as well. Along with your phone calls five one, three, seven, four, nine,

1991
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,120
Speaker 3: fifteen thirty at Cincy three to sixty on ESPN fifteen thirty,

1992
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Station.

1993
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:44,479
Speaker 2: From the Court to the Cage, the Diamond to the Dome.

1994
01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 2: He brings the heat.

1995
01:46:46,520 --> 01:46:52,200
Speaker 10: Moegar today at three pm on ESPN fifteen thirty.

1996
01:46:56,320 --> 01:47:02,040
Speaker 4: Welcome back since he three p sixty ESPN fifteen thirty,

1997
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:07,120
Speaker 4: Cincinnati Sports Station phone lines were open five one, three, seven,

1998
01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:12,600
Speaker 4: four nine, fifteen thirty. Some head coaching conversations. There is

1999
01:47:12,640 --> 01:47:17,680
Speaker 4: a head coaching vacancy in Clifton. Talking about that momentarily.

2000
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:22,880
Speaker 4: There's also a coach that I think Austin. There is

2001
01:47:22,920 --> 01:47:27,599
Speaker 4: an uneasiness growing around the ongin Blue with Pat Newton.

2002
01:47:28,600 --> 01:47:29,759
Speaker 3: How would you describe?

2003
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,160
Speaker 4: Because I saw you put it on Twitter the other

2004
01:47:32,240 --> 01:47:35,519
Speaker 4: night they were bludgeoned at the hands of New England

2005
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:41,160
Speaker 4: six to one. New England took care of FC Cincinnati

2006
01:47:41,680 --> 01:47:47,320
Speaker 4: over the weekend. This comes on the heels of a

2007
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:51,600
Speaker 4: good year last year, but still left a lot to

2008
01:47:51,640 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 4: be desired. It ended in a four to nothing loss

2009
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:59,200
Speaker 4: at TQL Stadium. They didn't really defend TQL Stadium last year.

2010
01:47:59,200 --> 01:48:02,880
Speaker 4: It wasn't a home field advantage like you think it

2011
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 4: can be because of the crowds in the atmosphere that

2012
01:48:05,320 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 4: you get. I think you could look back and say

2013
01:48:07,880 --> 01:48:11,400
Speaker 4: that this team has fallen short of expectations two years

2014
01:48:11,439 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 4: ago with the MLS MVP. They fell short last year.

2015
01:48:15,920 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 4: Albeit you lose the Luciano Acosta, you lose the MVP,

2016
01:48:21,240 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 4: but you put together a good year. It ends in

2017
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,120
Speaker 4: disappointment and then you kind of turn the page and say, Okay,

2018
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:30,519
Speaker 4: not as much turnover on the roster, a little bit

2019
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:33,800
Speaker 4: more normal of an offseason. This is an opportunity for

2020
01:48:33,960 --> 01:48:36,720
Speaker 4: FC Cincinnati to get back on the right track, and

2021
01:48:36,760 --> 01:48:38,080
Speaker 4: they did so early on.

2022
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:40,320
Speaker 3: They beat a bad O and.

2023
01:48:40,439 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 4: M team in the Conka CAF champions Cup thirteen nothing

2024
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:47,280
Speaker 4: an aggregate. They started the MLS season with a two

2025
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:54,320
Speaker 4: nail victory over Atlanta, but since then in the MLS

2026
01:48:55,160 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 4: a tough one nil loss to Toronto, and then they

2027
01:48:58,320 --> 01:49:03,640
Speaker 4: took a six war one beating at New England. They

2028
01:49:03,680 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 4: are already seven points behind New York City FC and

2029
01:49:08,360 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 4: Nashville FC. We know what inner Miami has, Austin. What

2030
01:49:12,240 --> 01:49:16,880
Speaker 4: do you make right now of the temperature of Pat

2031
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:19,720
Speaker 4: Noonan's seat for FC Cincinnati.

2032
01:49:21,560 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 3: I think it's getting a lot warmer. I do think

2033
01:49:24,680 --> 01:49:27,080
Speaker 3: that there is a conversation out there by a lot

2034
01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:30,880
Speaker 3: of fans that think, offensively, there's not a lot of

2035
01:49:30,880 --> 01:49:36,160
Speaker 3: creativity and that there is not getting enough out of

2036
01:49:36,200 --> 01:49:40,120
Speaker 3: the players that they currently have on the roster, and

2037
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:44,479
Speaker 3: they really look towards Pat Noonan for that. They blame

2038
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:51,080
Speaker 3: Pat Noonon for that. And at the same time, you

2039
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:53,640
Speaker 3: look at Chris Albright, who's the person in charge of

2040
01:49:53,640 --> 01:49:57,240
Speaker 3: getting the players, and you don't necessarily have the same

2041
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:00,360
Speaker 3: talent level that you had a year ago. It was

2042
01:50:00,640 --> 01:50:07,080
Speaker 3: a lot of turnover. I look at it. Sorry, some

2043
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:10,160
Speaker 3: people are screaming outside my window right now my door.

2044
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:14,439
Speaker 4: I look at it like, was it the loss against Toronto?

2045
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:17,559
Speaker 4: Pat Nowtan's book for two minutes after the game, very

2046
01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,280
Speaker 4: short and brief. After the six to one loss, he

2047
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 4: took the podium and said, I don't have a lot

2048
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:25,599
Speaker 4: of answers for what we saw. Bad league performance and result,

2049
01:50:25,880 --> 01:50:28,720
Speaker 4: a lot of things done poorly. That's all going to

2050
01:50:28,800 --> 01:50:32,920
Speaker 4: come back on the head coach getting your guys to play.

2051
01:50:33,800 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 4: And I get like, it's very early in the MLS season.

2052
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:41,040
Speaker 4: It is a long and grueling season, and we've seen

2053
01:50:41,080 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 4: this team go on plenty of runs. But I look

2054
01:50:43,800 --> 01:50:46,360
Speaker 4: at the way this team is on the field, Austin,

2055
01:50:46,439 --> 01:50:48,800
Speaker 4: on the on the pitch, but I also look at

2056
01:50:48,960 --> 01:50:51,400
Speaker 4: what I feel like Pat Nowton is dealing with, and

2057
01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:55,679
Speaker 4: it certainly feels like a coach handling himself after these losses,

2058
01:50:56,520 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 4: understanding that it means a little bit more of what's

2059
01:50:58,320 --> 01:50:58,920
Speaker 4: what's going on.

2060
01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:02,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he's frustrated because he may not really

2061
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 3: know what to do. And as crazy as that might sound,

2062
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:10,759
Speaker 3: I think it's a combination of things to where Okay,

2063
01:51:10,840 --> 01:51:13,800
Speaker 3: the turnover and the talent level maybe isn't quite what

2064
01:51:13,920 --> 01:51:17,439
Speaker 3: it is or has been in the past, and you're

2065
01:51:17,479 --> 01:51:21,360
Speaker 3: struggling to get that out of them, to get more

2066
01:51:21,439 --> 01:51:24,519
Speaker 3: out of those players. And we've seen the roster turnover

2067
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:27,120
Speaker 3: quite a bit over the course of a season, Like

2068
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:31,639
Speaker 3: we've seen them get a lot better and acquire players

2069
01:51:31,880 --> 01:51:35,280
Speaker 3: and change and be a much different team in June

2070
01:51:35,400 --> 01:51:39,280
Speaker 3: and July and August than they are in February in March,

2071
01:51:39,880 --> 01:51:42,880
Speaker 3: and that's part of it. But I do think the

2072
01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:46,400
Speaker 3: way that they lost that game a couple of years

2073
01:51:46,400 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 3: ago in the Eastern Conference Finals to Columbus, the way

2074
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:53,559
Speaker 3: that they got embarrassed against Miami a year ago, the

2075
01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:57,160
Speaker 3: way that they have started this season in losing a

2076
01:51:57,200 --> 01:52:00,120
Speaker 3: game in Minnesota that they had no business losing, ye

2077
01:52:01,320 --> 01:52:05,320
Speaker 3: and getting destroyed in New England against a team like that,

2078
01:52:05,720 --> 01:52:08,879
Speaker 3: and even on the national stage on Sunday Night soccer,

2079
01:52:09,439 --> 01:52:12,320
Speaker 3: losing at home to Toronto, a team that really is

2080
01:52:12,360 --> 01:52:14,000
Speaker 3: not very good either and was one of the worst

2081
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:17,840
Speaker 3: teams in MLS last year. It's like, okay, well, you're

2082
01:52:17,880 --> 01:52:20,720
Speaker 3: not even meeting the bare minimum of the standard that's

2083
01:52:20,720 --> 01:52:23,000
Speaker 3: been established in the Pat noon and era. And I

2084
01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:25,400
Speaker 3: think there's blame to go around, because maybe it's fair

2085
01:52:25,400 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 3: to say the players aren't good enough, and at the

2086
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:31,559
Speaker 3: same time, the players that you do have aren't you're

2087
01:52:31,560 --> 01:52:33,960
Speaker 3: not getting as much out of them, and so I

2088
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:35,759
Speaker 3: do think it's a double edged sword.

2089
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:38,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, you mentioned it just we talked to Tommy g

2090
01:52:39,000 --> 01:52:41,839
Speaker 4: To start the year. The emphasis was on starting fast

2091
01:52:41,880 --> 01:52:44,840
Speaker 4: because of the talent in the East and keeping pace.

2092
01:52:45,520 --> 01:52:50,120
Speaker 4: They already have three in the lost column. You are

2093
01:52:49,640 --> 01:52:53,280
Speaker 4: you're you're You're putting yourself behind the eight ball in

2094
01:52:53,320 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 4: a very bad way, and it's not going to get

2095
01:52:56,760 --> 01:52:59,920
Speaker 4: any easier. It's you've got to find answers, and it's

2096
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:04,799
Speaker 4: just a fast moving league. It's it's a long season.

2097
01:53:05,040 --> 01:53:09,280
Speaker 4: Things happen, you go through ups and downs, but starting

2098
01:53:09,920 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 4: one in three or one oh and three is not

2099
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 4: how this was supposed to get started in a year

2100
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:17,800
Speaker 4: that the emphasis was on, as we talked to Tommy early,

2101
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:21,720
Speaker 4: starting fast for FC Cincinnati. Uh, we'll grab some of

2102

2110
01:53:53,560 --> 01:53:55,759
Speaker 4: on the line. Let's head to Fort Thomas. First, Austin,

2111
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 4: what's going on?

2112
01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:57,080
Speaker 3: Brian? How are you?

2113
01:53:59,320 --> 01:54:01,200

2114
01:54:01,200 --> 01:54:03,160
Speaker 3: Happy Saint Patrick's Day?

2115
01:54:04,880 --> 01:54:07,280
Speaker 11: Thank you? I got I guess I got a couple

2116
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 11: of things. First off, that was actually the sonic boom

2117
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:14,040
Speaker 11: that that was It wasn't actually hitting the ground up

2118
01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 11: in Cleveland. Okay, because that because because it because it

2119
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:22,600
Speaker 11: got past the speed of sound. I don't know if

2120
01:54:22,600 --> 01:54:24,479
Speaker 11: you've heard Jet do it, but that's what that was.

2121
01:54:27,600 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 11: So it actually didn't because they can't do that way

2122
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:33,120
Speaker 11: it hit the ground. Next off is a I think

2123
01:54:33,160 --> 01:54:35,680
Speaker 11: my relationship with my sports team, the Bengals, is much

2124
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:40,240
Speaker 11: more of a parent uh K relationship than a merry one,

2125
01:54:40,840 --> 01:54:42,880
Speaker 11: because I don't think it's like I've been divorced and

2126
01:54:42,920 --> 01:54:45,440
Speaker 11: remarried and I love my new wife just as much

2127
01:54:45,480 --> 01:54:48,200
Speaker 11: as my old wife or more now. But you know

2128
01:54:48,200 --> 01:54:50,800
Speaker 11: what I mean. But if I break up with the Bengals,

2129
01:54:50,800 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 11: I will never love another team ever in the same way.

2130
01:54:53,920 --> 01:54:57,600
Speaker 11: I'll never have emotional connection with them, And so I

2131
01:54:57,640 --> 01:55:01,760
Speaker 11: think it's very different. And my main point was is

2132
01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:04,280
Speaker 11: that I feel like this is like it's this year

2133
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:08,000
Speaker 11: for Joe, Like if we had the worst defense in

2134
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 11: the league and we missed the playoffs for whatever reason,

2135
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 11: I just don't see how Joe's gonna stay here long term.

2136
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:18,840
Speaker 11: And if he leaves, a lot of fans, including me,

2137
01:55:18,960 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 11: are gonna leave the team like we were just we

2138
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 11: just can't support him if we've we wasted the opportunity

2139
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,880
Speaker 11: to have a Hall of Fame quarterback.

2140
01:55:28,520 --> 01:55:30,400
Speaker 3: And yeah, and didn't get it right.

2141
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:32,600
Speaker 11: And we just and we and we just and we

2142
01:55:32,680 --> 01:55:35,440
Speaker 11: just vomited away. And we had this opportunity to have

2143
01:55:35,560 --> 01:55:38,840
Speaker 11: our parade, and we screwed up because we weren't willing

2144
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:42,680
Speaker 11: to make, you know, do everything possible, restructure deals. I

2145
01:55:42,680 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 11: mean we could, we could. We could bring in that

2146
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,880
Speaker 11: dude from Las Vegas legitimately if they restructure things and

2147
01:55:48,920 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 11: gave him a first and you know, say hey, we'll

2148
01:55:51,440 --> 01:55:55,320
Speaker 11: give you our first this year, number ten. That's a guaranteed, proven,

2149
01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:59,400
Speaker 11: proven commodity right there, and then we could a one

2150
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 11: in a three, one in two. I mean, I don't

2151
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:04,320
Speaker 11: know why I'm phone right now trying to say, hey,

2152
01:56:04,760 --> 01:56:06,960
Speaker 11: let's do it. Let's win a super Bowl this year.

2153
01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:10,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, Brian, thank you for the phone call. I

2154
01:56:13,040 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 4: your quarterback has come out and said it. He's talked

2155
01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:19,200
Speaker 4: about how paramount the off season is. You know, there

2156
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:22,840
Speaker 4: was a level of angst there last year. There's no

2157
01:56:22,920 --> 01:56:24,880
Speaker 4: reason not to go all in, there's no reason not

2158
01:56:24,960 --> 01:56:27,040
Speaker 4: to get it right. We talked about that all off season,

2159
01:56:27,080 --> 01:56:29,800
Speaker 4: and yet it feels like as we're here today, there's

2160
01:56:29,800 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 4: still a little bit of meat on the bone. It

2161
01:56:32,280 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 4: doesn't feel like a fulfilling off season up to this point.

2162
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:38,440
Speaker 4: One more here, Brian, what's going on?

2163
01:56:38,480 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 3: What's up? Brian?

2164
01:56:40,720 --> 01:56:40,960
Speaker 20: Hey?

2165
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:41,920
Speaker 11: How are you doing good?

2166
01:56:44,000 --> 01:56:44,160
Speaker 5: Hey?

2167
01:56:44,440 --> 01:56:46,760
Speaker 20: Thanks for taking a call. I was just calling. I

2168
01:56:47,440 --> 01:56:49,920
Speaker 20: heard the montjast you guys did yesterday, a lot of it.

2169
01:56:50,680 --> 01:56:53,240
Speaker 20: I'm pretty sure that the top five of those defenders

2170
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:59,840
Speaker 20: are going to be gone obviously Octday, you know. If

2171
01:56:59,840 --> 01:57:01,920
Speaker 20: that and then set an area you you know, if

2172
01:57:01,920 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 20: the Bengals had a GM that was a little bit creative,

2173
01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:13,880
Speaker 20: maybe you trade that first pick or Max Yeah, or

2174
01:57:15,120 --> 01:57:17,400
Speaker 20: Option B would probably be the trade up to try

2175
01:57:17,400 --> 01:57:19,360
Speaker 20: to get styles or downs. I think those would be

2176
01:57:19,360 --> 01:57:24,200
Speaker 20: the two most impactful rookies for them in the first year,

2177
01:57:24,280 --> 01:57:28,000
Speaker 20: especially linebackers, especially now since it's such a glaring need.

2178
01:57:28,960 --> 01:57:30,920
Speaker 20: Maybe even get rbl Reese and try to trade for

2179
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:35,280
Speaker 20: him if he falls, and then Option CE would probably

2180
01:57:35,440 --> 01:57:39,400
Speaker 20: to trade down, you know, Katie McDonald, Tale Banks. I

2181
01:57:39,440 --> 01:57:44,640
Speaker 20: don't I'm not big Peter Woods fan, and and try

2182
01:57:44,640 --> 01:57:46,800
Speaker 20: to trade down again extra twenty seven draft pick because

2183
01:57:46,800 --> 01:57:50,560
Speaker 20: it's gonna be loaded, uh for that class. But as

2184
01:57:50,560 --> 01:57:53,080
Speaker 20: a Bengals fan and as where they're at right now

2185
01:57:53,160 --> 01:57:55,080
Speaker 20: as a GM. If I was a GEAM in the Bengals,

2186
01:57:55,320 --> 01:57:57,960
Speaker 20: it's when now. So the first pick is Max Crosby,

2187
01:57:58,040 --> 01:58:00,000
Speaker 20: or I try to trade up and get a style

2188
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 20: al Begley, a Vein is somebody that's going to be

2189
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:06,560
Speaker 20: impactful this next year for.

2190
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:08,920
Speaker 5: To help us in this little window.

2191
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,000
Speaker 20: You don't get a big window. I do like MAF,

2192
01:58:11,200 --> 01:58:13,560
Speaker 20: I do like Alan Allen I actually wanted when he

2193
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:17,600
Speaker 20: was a regent before. Uh and Cook will add to

2194
01:58:17,600 --> 01:58:20,800
Speaker 20: the secondary. But still you can't if down is there,

2195
01:58:20,840 --> 01:58:21,920
Speaker 20: you got to take another safety.

2196
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, but.

2197
01:58:23,960 --> 01:58:25,880
Speaker 4: That can't be Brian, thank you for the phone call.

2198
01:58:25,920 --> 01:58:27,840
Speaker 4: That that can't be the extent of what you do,

2199
01:58:28,040 --> 01:58:31,000
Speaker 4: and that I think that's the point that we've been

2200
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:34,080
Speaker 4: trying to make is those those three pieces individually are

2201
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:36,520
Speaker 4: good pieces, but that can't be where you draw the line.

2202
01:58:36,520 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 4: And it's okay. As an organization, you've done enough. If

2203
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,320
Speaker 4: those two scenarios are and I know they're both long

2204
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:47,240
Speaker 4: shot scenarios, Austin trade up or trade number ten to

2205
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,320
Speaker 4: get a proven player, which would more likely in a

2206
01:58:50,640 --> 01:58:52,920
Speaker 4: scenario where neither would happen. What would be more likely

2207
01:58:52,960 --> 01:58:59,760
Speaker 4: to happen, move number ten to get a proven Max

2208
01:58:59,800 --> 01:59:03,280
Speaker 4: Crow player or trade up to number seven or eight.

2209
01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 3: First of all, Max Crosby's not gonna happen, but it

2210
01:59:06,400 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 3: would be more likely to get a proven player just

2211
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 3: because it has happened before. I think of Cordy Glynn.

2212
01:59:18,040 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 3: It didn't go well, but I think they had the

2213
01:59:22,560 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 3: twelfth pick in that draft and they traded it away

2214
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:27,880
Speaker 3: for Cordy Glenn and they moved back like nine spots

2215
01:59:27,960 --> 01:59:32,480
Speaker 3: or something. So I think that just because on the

2216
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:36,560
Speaker 3: basis of we've actually kind of seen that before, I

2217
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:41,240
Speaker 3: would say that would be the most likely thing. And

2218
01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:44,920
Speaker 3: Brian's correct, like, that's the mindset that you should have

2219
01:59:45,120 --> 01:59:47,839
Speaker 3: if you were the GM of the Bengals. The issue

2220
01:59:47,960 --> 01:59:51,480
Speaker 3: is that's not the mindset they have, and so we

2221
01:59:51,640 --> 01:59:55,880
Speaker 3: try to figure things out through the lens of historically

2222
01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:58,680
Speaker 3: what they have taught us they will do, and what

2223
01:59:58,720 --> 02:00:02,320
Speaker 3: they like to do, and what their actions suggest how

2224
02:00:02,360 --> 02:00:05,320
Speaker 3: they feel about certain players their position groups. If it

2225
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:09,160
Speaker 3: were up to me, I would trade for Max Crosby today. Absolutely.

2226
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 3: I want that they should be doing that, but they don't,

2227
02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:17,200
Speaker 3: and it's an issue. Yeah. Uh, Chad Brendle stands by

2228
02:00:17,360 --> 02:00:20,800
Speaker 3: to join us next for quick hits. He's in for

2235
02:00:45,320 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 4: How are you doing?

2236
02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 3: Ched? Busy, busy, busy.

2237
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:52,280
Speaker 30: Can't imagine why it's it's it's not a it's not

2238
02:00:52,320 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 30: been a typical first four days of a coaching search.

2239
02:00:56,600 --> 02:01:00,200
Speaker 4: When when this happens in our line of work, your

2240
02:01:00,240 --> 02:01:06,520
Speaker 4: line of work, it's the craziness is unimaginable. But how

2241
02:01:06,560 --> 02:01:09,560
Speaker 4: has this been different than than maybe coaching searches in

2242
02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:10,000
Speaker 4: the past.

2243
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:15,000
Speaker 30: Everybody assumes it's Jared Calhoun, from just telling you off,

2244
02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,600
Speaker 30: from the top of the food chain all the way

2245
02:01:17,640 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 30: to the lowest level person I've talked to. Everybody says

2246
02:01:22,440 --> 02:01:23,600
Speaker 30: all signs point to Jared.

2247
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 4: Now, I've seen folks say you got to make Dan

2248
02:01:25,840 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 4: Hurley say no, I did, Yeah, I.

2249
02:01:27,920 --> 02:01:30,040
Speaker 3: Called, I texted, Uh.

2250
02:01:30,080 --> 02:01:33,040
Speaker 30: He said, what kind of package can the Bengals put together.

2251
02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:37,240
Speaker 3: Okay, that's a start, so I said the other day,

2252
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:40,280
Speaker 3: chant like the Bengals. Oh you see from all those

2253
02:01:40,320 --> 02:01:43,840
Speaker 3: years of using the bubble, Yeah, maybe you know, still

2254
02:01:43,880 --> 02:01:46,480
Speaker 3: make a phone call, maybe throw a little you know,

2255
02:01:46,560 --> 02:01:47,560
Speaker 3: sweet to him.

2256
02:01:47,560 --> 02:01:49,680
Speaker 30: Give him one percent, give him a sweet like I

2257
02:01:49,960 --> 02:01:52,840
Speaker 30: think you might be able to swing it, although I

2258
02:01:52,880 --> 02:01:54,920
Speaker 30: don't think his wife would. Uh, he'd like probably have

2259
02:01:54,960 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 30: to move here by myself. She's a she's a Jersey

2260
02:01:57,760 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 30: girl's or Yeah.

2261
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:01,760
Speaker 4: So imagine like he says no to the Lakers and

2262
02:02:01,800 --> 02:02:04,880
Speaker 4: then comes here because of the Bengals.

2263
02:02:05,080 --> 02:02:06,600
Speaker 30: But I, you know, you got to make him say no.

2264
02:02:06,800 --> 02:02:10,840
Speaker 30: I offered to put him on the hot board. Yeah,

2265
02:02:11,080 --> 02:02:13,240
Speaker 30: as prestigious the baritupt Journal hot board.

2266
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 3: That's a big deal. But he polite didn't make it.

2267
02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:20,200
Speaker 4: He politely declined, Okay, it does feel like and it's

2268
02:02:20,240 --> 02:02:22,600
Speaker 4: it's different, like you mentioned, from a lot of other searches,

2269
02:02:22,600 --> 02:02:26,520
Speaker 4: where it's almost unanimous. Everyone I talked to says, you

2270
02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:28,960
Speaker 4: got to get Jared Calham. Why does he make as

2271
02:02:29,040 --> 02:02:30,800
Speaker 4: much sense for folks that may not know as much

2272
02:02:30,800 --> 02:02:31,280
Speaker 4: about him.

2273
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 30: Well, one, he's one of the two best names on

2274
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 30: this cycle in terms of guys ready to move up.

2275
02:02:39,360 --> 02:02:40,440
Speaker 3: It's him and Josh Shirts.

2276
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:43,240
Speaker 30: Yeah, those are the two guys that everybody looks at

2277
02:02:43,280 --> 02:02:46,520
Speaker 30: and says they've gone They've They've done it at D two,

2278
02:02:46,760 --> 02:02:48,920
Speaker 30: They've done it at a low major. Now they've done

2279
02:02:48,960 --> 02:02:51,800
Speaker 30: it at a mid major. The next step for both

2280
02:02:51,800 --> 02:02:56,160
Speaker 30: of them is the high major level. Cincinnati's one of

2281
02:02:56,160 --> 02:02:59,480
Speaker 30: the However, you want to argue at one to three

2282
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:03,080
Speaker 30: best jobs on the market, You've got one of the

2283
02:03:03,120 --> 02:03:05,560
Speaker 30: two best coaches on the market that has a tie

2284
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:10,080
Speaker 30: to the university, has a connection to the past, and.

2285
02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:10,840
Speaker 3: He's really good.

2286
02:03:11,840 --> 02:03:17,080
Speaker 30: So everything just kind of and like the Kansas State stuff,

2287
02:03:17,280 --> 02:03:19,320
Speaker 30: a lot of people thought that was pretty far down

2288
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:23,800
Speaker 30: the road and then all of a sudden it's off. Yeah,

2289
02:03:24,840 --> 02:03:29,480
Speaker 30: and then Cincinnati opens timing that feels a little.

2290
02:03:30,280 --> 02:03:34,120
Speaker 4: You know, I think you can't overlook enough, and this

2291
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:36,720
Speaker 4: isn't a West Light. You can't overlook enough someone that

2292
02:03:36,840 --> 02:03:40,840
Speaker 4: has ties here and understands the brand of basketball that

2293
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 4: people associate with Cincinnati.

2294
02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:44,720
Speaker 3: Well that I mean, it wasn't just here.

2295
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:48,520
Speaker 30: He also spent five additional seasons with Hugs at West

2296
02:03:48,600 --> 02:03:53,560
Speaker 30: Virginia like he was raised and then like the gap

2297
02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:56,520
Speaker 30: between his time at uc and then when he got

2298
02:03:56,560 --> 02:03:59,960
Speaker 30: to West Virginia, he was at Walsh where Hugs started.

2299
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:03,040
Speaker 3: Yep. So like there's a lot of ties there.

2300
02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:08,080
Speaker 30: There's a lot of connective tissue, if you will, and

2301
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:11,640
Speaker 30: that I know he still has friends, you know, has friendships,

2302
02:04:11,680 --> 02:04:13,440
Speaker 30: has relationships with people in town.

2303
02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:17,240
Speaker 3: It just it makes too much sense.

2304
02:04:17,360 --> 02:04:20,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, while that has been taking a great coaching search. Sure,

2305
02:04:21,080 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 4: and while that has been a large I do think

2306
02:04:23,920 --> 02:04:25,960
Speaker 4: you want to talk about madness. If it's not Calhoun,

2307
02:04:26,080 --> 02:04:28,600
Speaker 4: then madness would ensue because now all of a sudden,

2308
02:04:28,600 --> 02:04:31,680
Speaker 4: it feels like you're probably grasping. Yeah, then what While

2309
02:04:31,720 --> 02:04:34,240
Speaker 4: a lot of attention is drawn to that, I made

2310
02:04:34,240 --> 02:04:35,760
Speaker 4: a point to bring this up today and you can

2311
02:04:35,800 --> 02:04:38,520
Speaker 4: speak on it as well. What you see baseball is

2312
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:41,360
Speaker 4: doing to start this year should not go unnoticed as well.

2313
02:04:42,160 --> 02:04:45,520
Speaker 4: The start that they're off too. Went to Utah Valley,

2314
02:04:45,560 --> 02:04:48,080
Speaker 4: who's a good veteran team, beat them with a run rule.

2315
02:04:48,160 --> 02:04:49,800
Speaker 3: They're playing again today, playing again.

2316
02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:52,280
Speaker 30: I just saw something wild right before we went on

2317
02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:56,800
Speaker 30: the air, Quinton Coates, who is right now one of

2318
02:04:56,800 --> 02:05:01,160
Speaker 30: the top three power hitters in college baseball. Utah Valley

2319
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:06,120
Speaker 30: put four outfielders wow out there with him at the plate.

2320
02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:08,360
Speaker 30: Have you ever seen that in a like in a

2321
02:05:08,480 --> 02:05:12,680
Speaker 30: real game. No, that's little league. Like, you know, there's

2322
02:05:12,720 --> 02:05:15,200
Speaker 30: no fence. You got a lot of ground to cover.

2323
02:05:15,920 --> 02:05:20,400
Speaker 30: Like they put four outfielders in a Division one baseball game.

2324
02:05:20,440 --> 02:05:25,040
Speaker 30: They put four outfielders in the outfield. They're The way

2325
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:30,480
Speaker 30: that they play is perfect for having a guy like

2326
02:05:30,520 --> 02:05:31,720
Speaker 30: Coats in the middle of the lineup.

2327
02:05:31,840 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 3: Sure, they steal bases.

2328
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:36,080
Speaker 30: They bunt, they take walks, they put pressure on a defense,

2329
02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:39,200
Speaker 30: and then you got a guy that's just mashing the

2330
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 30: ball in the middle there.

2331
02:05:41,760 --> 02:05:43,760
Speaker 3: And the pitching's been good.

2332
02:05:43,840 --> 02:05:46,320
Speaker 30: It hasn't been great, but that's you know, there's only

2333
02:05:46,360 --> 02:05:49,560
Speaker 30: so much depth in a college baseball bullpen.

2334
02:05:49,880 --> 02:05:51,200
Speaker 3: But it's been good.

2335
02:05:51,080 --> 02:05:53,280
Speaker 30: Enough to keep them in games and allow them to

2336
02:05:53,360 --> 02:05:54,320
Speaker 30: keep churning out wins.

2337
02:05:54,960 --> 02:05:56,600
Speaker 4: Middle of the fifth. They're down two to one right

2338
02:05:56,600 --> 02:05:59,080
Speaker 4: now against Utah Valley. They took game one of the series.

2339
02:05:59,440 --> 02:06:02,480
Speaker 3: Outside of of obviously a lot of coaching search conversation.

2340
02:06:02,520 --> 02:06:06,080
Speaker 3: What else you got coming up on the show, the

2341
02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:08,040
Speaker 3: Bengals conversation? It just.

2342
02:06:09,720 --> 02:06:12,000
Speaker 30: Why do we keep doing this to ourselves? They have

2343
02:06:12,080 --> 02:06:15,880
Speaker 30: told us who they are, They have told us they're

2344
02:06:15,920 --> 02:06:23,440
Speaker 30: not changing, and we keep going into every offseason trying

2345
02:06:23,480 --> 02:06:26,800
Speaker 30: to believe that somehow it's going to be different. And

2346
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:29,040
Speaker 30: I mean, you and Austin hit on it yesterday, Like,

2347
02:06:29,160 --> 02:06:32,240
Speaker 30: I don't know this for certain, but boy, wouldn't it

2348
02:06:32,240 --> 02:06:34,360
Speaker 30: have been much easier to go get a linebacker and

2349
02:06:34,400 --> 02:06:37,160
Speaker 30: pay them what was needed to pay them if you

2350
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:42,760
Speaker 30: didn't front load every deal and cost yourself double what

2351
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 30: other teams are costing themselves in.

2352
02:06:44,640 --> 02:06:47,080
Speaker 4: Like, but like Austin said, it's not only that, it's

2353
02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:49,440
Speaker 4: the report that comes out that they weren't really interested

2354
02:06:49,880 --> 02:06:52,440
Speaker 4: in the two top remains. So even if they had

2355
02:06:52,440 --> 02:06:55,040
Speaker 4: the money, does that mean they they're just content with

2356
02:06:55,080 --> 02:06:57,800
Speaker 4: what we watched in Demetrius Knight and Barrett Carter.

2357
02:06:57,920 --> 02:07:01,879
Speaker 30: Stop lying to us, Stop telling us a lot veteran

2358
02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:04,720
Speaker 30: linebacker is a priority. And then you get to the

2359
02:07:04,720 --> 02:07:08,360
Speaker 30: point where veteran linebackers should be a priority and you

2360
02:07:08,440 --> 02:07:08,960
Speaker 30: do nothing.

2361
02:07:09,520 --> 02:07:13,200
Speaker 3: And now you know, what does it do to the draft?

2362
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:15,840
Speaker 30: You're gonna You're gonna take another young linebacker and put

2363
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 30: them out there with two other young linebackers.

2364
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:21,200
Speaker 3: Like, what what's the plan?

2365
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:25,480
Speaker 30: Because linebacker was the weakest position on the team last year,

2366
02:07:25,960 --> 02:07:29,360
Speaker 30: the weakest position on a bad defense, and you did

2367
02:07:30,200 --> 02:07:34,080
Speaker 30: nothing and I don't understand it, and then how that

2368
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 30: affects the draft. They also did nothing at cornerback. So

2369
02:07:38,440 --> 02:07:40,640
Speaker 30: now you're you know, if you're in that position, are

2370
02:07:40,640 --> 02:07:43,400
Speaker 30: you going to draft a corner when the two most

2371
02:07:43,400 --> 02:07:47,720
Speaker 30: stable things on your defense are the starting corners from

2372
02:07:47,800 --> 02:07:50,240
Speaker 30: last year And now you're gonna use your draft pick

2373
02:07:50,400 --> 02:07:55,200
Speaker 30: number number ten potentially on a corner because there's nobody

2374
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:57,320
Speaker 30: else behind them in that room. There's no depth in

2375
02:07:57,360 --> 02:08:00,320
Speaker 30: that room. And both of their contracts are up. Yeah,

2376
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:04,560
Speaker 30: so now you're I thought we were all in. Why

2377
02:08:04,560 --> 02:08:08,280
Speaker 30: are we playing for twenty twenty seven? Yeah, the mad

2378
02:08:08,440 --> 02:08:10,400
Speaker 30: decisions feel like they're for twenty twenty seven.

2379
02:08:10,520 --> 02:08:14,640
Speaker 4: Right when the quarterback said this offseason was paramount, leaves

2380
02:08:14,680 --> 02:08:17,480
Speaker 4: a lot to be desired outside of that nine days

2381
02:08:17,520 --> 02:08:20,120
Speaker 4: away from opening day. Talked about this earlier on the

2382
02:08:20,120 --> 02:08:22,840
Speaker 4: show as well. Hunter Green's out till July. I'm worried

2383
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:25,600
Speaker 4: about starting rotation. There's an uneasiness around Chase Berns and

2384
02:08:25,600 --> 02:08:27,760
Speaker 4: Andrew Abbit. In thirteen innings in spring training, he's giving

2385
02:08:27,800 --> 02:08:29,400
Speaker 4: up twenty four hits and twenty runs.

2386
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw I heard somebody call in and talk.

2387
02:08:31,960 --> 02:08:33,520
Speaker 4: Now, we're not supposed to tall it because we can't

2388
02:08:33,520 --> 02:08:34,600
Speaker 4: overreact to spring training.

2389
02:08:34,800 --> 02:08:35,080
Speaker 3: We can.

2390
02:08:35,320 --> 02:08:38,160
Speaker 4: We need to react when you're you're not twenty nine

2391
02:08:38,200 --> 02:08:40,560
Speaker 4: days away, you're nine days away. Andrew Abbat's gonna get

2392
02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:42,600
Speaker 4: one more start and then he's your opening day starter.

2393
02:08:43,320 --> 02:08:45,720
Speaker 30: There's working on some things town. Yeah, there's a question

2394
02:08:45,800 --> 02:08:50,040
Speaker 30: around Chase Burns clicks hope. It's not a strategy now

2395
02:08:50,240 --> 02:08:53,960
Speaker 30: now it is here, we use it here now Burns

2396
02:08:54,040 --> 02:08:57,240
Speaker 30: is we don't know. Yeah, and your potentially let's say

2397
02:08:57,280 --> 02:09:01,680
Speaker 30: he doesn't crack the starting rotation to open the season.

2398
02:09:02,080 --> 02:09:03,400
Speaker 3: Now you're burning his innings in.

2399
02:09:03,440 --> 02:09:07,240
Speaker 30: Louisville for a guy that's gonna have a finite amount

2400
02:09:07,240 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 30: of to throw this year, you're gonna start him in Louisville.

2401
02:09:11,640 --> 02:09:17,920
Speaker 30: And I just what was in typical Cincinnati sports fashion,

2402
02:09:18,640 --> 02:09:22,440
Speaker 30: what was supposed to be the strength feels like there's

2403
02:09:22,480 --> 02:09:26,800
Speaker 30: a question, it's it's it's teetering on being a weakness

2404
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:31,080
Speaker 30: nine days from now and then your bullpen right what

2405
02:09:31,560 --> 02:09:33,400
Speaker 30: what what's going on there? We don't have a great

2406
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:34,240
Speaker 30: feel for that either.

2407
02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:37,080
Speaker 4: Correct. How many brackets do you fill out a year?

2408
02:09:38,440 --> 02:09:39,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes one?

2409
02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:39,839
Speaker 3: Okay?

2410
02:09:40,120 --> 02:09:42,000
Speaker 4: When you do, are you an online. Are you an

2411
02:09:42,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Speaker 4: online brocket or do you like the old school I.

2412
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:47,160
Speaker 30: Used to do paper, used to do on paper, like

2413
02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:53,600
Speaker 30: I would draw the lines as the day of I

2414
02:09:53,680 --> 02:09:58,120
Speaker 30: spent that day getting my bracket sheets ready, one for

2415
02:09:58,200 --> 02:10:02,360
Speaker 30: each region, top and bob them four sheets, filling them

2416
02:10:02,360 --> 02:10:08,080
Speaker 30: out as the TV was going. I fell out of

2417
02:10:08,120 --> 02:10:11,360
Speaker 30: love with doing brackets because I get in my own head,

2418
02:10:11,480 --> 02:10:13,400
Speaker 30: you stop getting right you see on them. No, I

2419
02:10:13,480 --> 02:10:17,400
Speaker 30: just I know too much about like I think too much.

2420
02:10:17,960 --> 02:10:20,440
Speaker 30: I know the teams, I know the players. I've scouted

2421
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:23,680
Speaker 30: the players, like known them since they were in high school.

2422
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:27,000
Speaker 3: I let it consume me.

2423
02:10:27,600 --> 02:10:29,680
Speaker 30: So something like what I will do if I do

2424
02:10:29,720 --> 02:10:34,000
Speaker 30: anything just to have it Thursday before I come in

2425
02:10:34,080 --> 02:10:38,440
Speaker 30: here to do the Mowagger Show since MOE is contractually

2426
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:42,040
Speaker 30: free of work on Thursday and Friday of the tournament,

2427
02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:46,080
Speaker 30: I will fill one out just to have This is

2428
02:10:46,080 --> 02:10:46,760
Speaker 30: what I think.

2429
02:10:47,520 --> 02:10:49,760
Speaker 4: And there's like the stress of like getting everything written

2430
02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:51,040
Speaker 4: on that small line.

2431
02:10:51,240 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 3: Can you fit the whole time? There's a lot that

2432
02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:57,160
Speaker 3: goes into the Kennesaw State. Yeah, boy, that was a

2433
02:10:57,160 --> 02:10:57,760
Speaker 3: tough one.

2434
02:10:58,320 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 4: Michigan State's always a tough one to me, and fitting

2435
02:11:01,080 --> 02:11:04,720
Speaker 4: Vanderbilt a spelling it correctly? Can I get it on

2436
02:11:04,720 --> 02:11:09,360
Speaker 4: the line. Yeah, yep. Chad Breundle is next you. I

2437
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,840
Speaker 4: haven't done. I haven't finished mine yet. I'll wait until

2438
02:11:11,880 --> 02:11:13,800
Speaker 4: you know. I wanted to fill it out. Like Joe

2439
02:11:13,840 --> 02:11:15,880
Speaker 4: Danimon said, someone could get caught with two point one
