00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: No one so was the Bengals Like ESPN fifteen thirty

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,080
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports say, this.

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 3: Is really, really, really good. This is good. You probably

7
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 3: have no idea what I'm talking about, but that's okay.

8
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 3: This is what's good, right, And you could have done

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: this last year. But the Red's TV deal with fan

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 3: Duel Sports Network has has blown up, and there's a

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 3: lot of it that's not good. I guess there's probably

12
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: gonna be some collateral damage. I guess Annie Sabo is

13
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 3: going to be working on Reds broadcast moving forward. And

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 3: what drove that decision, I don't know. But Annie is

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 3: good at her job. She's been nice to our show,

16
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 3: and so that stings. And with this whole like Red's

17
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: TV deal, you know, very selfishly, what I've wondered about

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 3: more than anything is what's going to cost in terms

19
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: of jobs? Right, we already have enough media companies just

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 3: laying people off and letting people go left and right.

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 3: We don't need more. But you're still gonna be able

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: to watch the games. You're still gonna be able to

23
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: watch the games I think the way you have and

24
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 3: that's good. But the fact that this is a subscription model,

25
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: largely a subscription model when it comes to the app

26
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: and being able to buy the service, this is good

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 3: and we're gonna get to it here in just a second. Also,

28
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 3: we got a college basketball coach crying poor, which is unbecoming.

29
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 3: The possibility of Trey Hendrickson playing for the Baltimore Ravens

30
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: has been brought up, and we're gonna go to San

31
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 3: Francisco and talk with our guy, Sean Sayad, who's a

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 3: part of our show every week during the football season

33
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 3: when they're in the Bengals season, He's gonna join us

34
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: from San fran to talk about the game, some Bengals topics,

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: and so much more that coming up at five oh five.

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,320

Speaker 3: later on this hour three forty five. On the Bearcats,

43
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 3: you see hosts West Virginia tonight, a rare Thursday night

44
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 3: game for the Bearcats that'll tip off at seven o'clock.

45
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 3: Cincinnati trying to bounce back after getting drubbed by Houston

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 3: on Saturday. So Auhanio Suarez is back with the Reds,

47
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: which is great, great because, as we've said often this week,

48
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 3: he solves their biggest issue. Their biggest issue last year

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 3: was lack of pop. But he solves another issue, and

50
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 3: this is more emotional than mechanical. For months on end,

51
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: it has felt like the Reds are doing nothing. For

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 3: months on end, it has felt like the Reds have

53
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,920
Speaker 3: been almost hell bent on having the same team as

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 3: last year. Maybe those criticisms have been unfair, but they've

55
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 3: been out there, and I feel like there's been a

56
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 3: malaise that is set in where any excitement that was

57
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: there in September from the Reds playoff push was evaporated

58
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 3: by not getting Kyle Schwarber and then spending much of

59
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 3: the offseason not doing much of anything. There hasn't been

60
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 3: a ton of excitement. That doesn't mean that the Reds

61
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: have had mechanically speaking, a bad offseason. They've added some relievers,

62
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 3: some pretty good relievers. It is completely fair to expect

63
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: the Reds to have a good bullpen, based on largely

64
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: at least the work done by Nick Krawl, But relief

65
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: pictures don't move the emotional meter. Good bullpens don't get

66
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 3: people excited dudes who hit home runs due especially if

67
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 3: dudes who hit home runs are guys who used to

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: play here and are fan favorites, which is what a

69
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: Eugenio Suarez is. And so now there's been a little

70
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: bit of an uptick. By the way, I've seen sports

71
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: books that have taken the Reds win total eighty one

72
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: and a half and have pushed it to eighty two

73
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: and a half or eighty three and a half. Eighty

74
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 3: one and a half. I feel pretty good about eighty

75
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: three and a half is a little ambitious, but we

76
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 3: will see. Also, there was a jolt of energy that

77
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 3: surged through the fan base. I don't know that anybody

78
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: looks at the Reds as a team that's gonna be

79
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: favored to win the National League. I'm not sure anybody's

80
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 3: gonna look at the Reds as a team that should

81
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 3: be favored to win the National League Central. But still

82
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: you could feel it like a little surge of optimism

83
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 3: or at least a sense of relief. Hey, they did something,

84
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 3: they did something, and they did address their biggest need.

85
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: I wonder, and we're not gonna have any way of

86
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,239
Speaker 3: knowing this for sure. Red's TV model, now, like last year,

87
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 3: maybe framed a little bit differently. If you are an

88
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: Ulti Fiber subscribe and you got FanDuel Sports Network, I

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 3: think there's a very good chance you don't have to

90
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 3: do anything. Just Red's TV is gonna pop up and

91
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 3: you'll be able to watch the games. But if you're

92
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 3: a cord cutter and you've you've got to stream it

93
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: on an app, well you can. You can buy a

94
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 3: subscription and it's like ninety nine for the year or

95
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety nine per month. So the Reds just came

96
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 3: out with this. How many subscriptions will they have sold

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: versus how many subscriptions will they have sold if they

98
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 3: didn't do anything to address their biggest issue? Simply put

99
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 3: pre I you Hanio Suarez, how many folks are like

100
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: you know what, I'm just I'm watching my money carefully

101
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 3: and I already pay for a lot of streaming services,

102
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: and I already subscribe to a lot of different things,

103
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: and so you know, the Reds didn't really make their

104
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 3: offense any better, so I'm gonna hold off. And then

105
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: they signed Souarez and it's like, all right, Like maybe

106
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 3: they are trying. Maybe there's a legitimate effort here, and

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 3: maybe this offense and this team, by extension, is going

108
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: to be a little bit more interesting and maybe a

109
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: little bit better than I originally thought. This era that

110
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 3: we're in, I think is awesome. For years, teams have

111
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: had to sell tickets, and when folks in Cincinnati have

112
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 3: stopped buying tickets the Reds, the Reds have responded. Remember

113
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. Twenty eighteen was like a low point in

114
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 3: the history of this franchise. First of all that the

115
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 3: team was terrible, and it was also, let's see, the

116
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 3: fourth consecutive year they lost way more than ninety games,

117
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: and in twenty eighteen they had their lowest attendance since

118
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: nineteen eighty four. So that offseason, the front office is like, Okay,

119
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 3: it's time to start trying. They went on and got

120
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,480
Speaker 3: Y s el Peak and Matt Kemp and Kyle Farmer

121
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 3: and Alex Wood all in the same deal, and it

122
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 3: was like they had to do something. I think they

123
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 3: felt like they had to do something, and they made

124
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: the team a little bit better. Wasn't all that good

125
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, but still this franchise has reacted to

126
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 3: folks not buying tickets. But now they got to do

127
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: more than sell tickets. They got to sell subscriptions. They've

128
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 3: got to sell subscriptions, and they've got to get people

129
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 3: to keep renewing their subscriptions. Let's look at it like this.

130
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: Let's say you're a month to month buyer of Red's TV,

131
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,120
Speaker 3: and you go, okay, nineteen ninety nine a month season's

132
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: going to begin in late March. I'll pay the freight

133
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 3: for the first month. Let's see how they do. And

134
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: the team is okay in April and the g a right, well,

135
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 3: I'm not going to bail in the season quite yet.

136
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 3: Let's buy May, and then in May they're wretched, like

137
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: they just they have a tough stretch and they fall behind,

138
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: and you're looking at the National League Central standings and

139
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: they're already like nine and a half, ten and a half,

140
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 3: eleven and a half games out. But you know what, hey,

141
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 3: long season. Okay, fine, I'll buy June. But if things

142
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: aren't any better by June, I'm gonna take that twenty

143
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 3: bucks a month and do something else with it this summer.

144
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 3: And then June comes in there not any better, and

145
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: you go, you know what, not only emotionally am I

146
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 3: on to football. I'm done watching Reds games this season,

147
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: and I'm done paying extra to have to watch Reds

148
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: games this season. This is good. This is good. I

149
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: think to a degree, this could help solve tanking. I

150
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: think to a degree this could help solve the Reds

151
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 3: and other teams because there have been many trying to

152
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 3: sell their fans on what the Reds tried to do

153
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 3: in the middle of the twenty tens. Remember that we've

154
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: got to rebuild? Can we got a rebuild? The first

155
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: time we ever started talking about rebuilds in Cincinnati was

156
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 3: trade deadline twenty fifteen, because that's you know, hit the

157
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: EJEC button on Johnny Quato and move on from Mike League.

158
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 3: And that's when rebuild became in an everyday part of

159
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 3: how we talk about the Cincinnati Reds. And you know,

160
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 3: at the time, it's like, all right, rebuild, How long

161
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 3: is that going to take. It's gonna take a while,

162
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 3: and you know, frankly, it's taken a decade, and that

163
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: rebuild that started in twenty fifteen, there was never a

164
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: real payoff to it, right. The best they did was

165
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 3: make the postseason in the drive through season of twenty twenty.

166
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 3: But you can't go in this era if you're trying

167
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: to sell not only tickets but subscriptions to get people

168
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:28,079
Speaker 3: to consume your product. You can't go three four five

169
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,400
Speaker 3: years of being totally irrelevant and expect people to watch

170
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: when they're having to make a special payment to watch.

171
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: It's one thing if you're a cable subscriber or you

172
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 3: have a service where the network that the Reds are

173
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 3: on is a part of the package, and you can decide, well,

174
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: I'm just not gonna watch. I'm still kind of paying

175
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: for it. It's a part of my package, but I'm

176
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: not gonna watch. It's something else entirely. If you've got

177
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 3: to go out of your way to pay for it,

178
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 3: like you do Netflix, or like you might with Amazon Prime,

179
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: it's something entirely. I've got Red's TV for a couple

180
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 3: of months, but dude, July, they're twenty three and a

181
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 3: half games out, I'm good. Or let's see what they

182
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 3: do with the deadline, and the deadline comes and goes

183
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 3: and they don't do anything, and now you can go,

184
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: We'll screw that. They're not getting my twenty bucks a

185
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: month for August in September, I'm out this era. It

186
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: could be a really good thing. Now. Eventually it feels

187
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 3: like every team is going to be doing something like this.

188
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 3: But it's one thing when you've got to sell tickets,

189
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: and I think teams have often said, well, you know,

190
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: we can make up for the lost revenue by being

191
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 3: bad and not selling tickets, by slashing payroll, something else entirely,

192
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: something else entirely. And by the way, in many seasons

193
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 3: where teams have been bad, including in Cincinnati, the TV

194
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: ratings have always been pretty good. I can tell you this.

195
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: In seasons where the Reds have been bad, the radio

196
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 3: ratings for the games themselves are still really, really good.

197
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 3: But radio is free, which is why it's the best.

198
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 3: And historically TV it's just been a part of a package.

199
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: You're not going to cancel cable because the Reds are bad,

200
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: but you will cancel your Reds TV subscription. So now

201
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: you have something here that you, as a fan can

202
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: use to hold ownership and hold management more accountable. You're

203
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: not gonna try it the deadline. That's fine. I'm done

204
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: for the rest of the season, not getting my money.

205
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 3: You know what, I'm waiting to see if I'm re

206
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: upping my subscription, go do something this off season and

207
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 3: the Reds have. This gives you and I as fans,

208
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 3: a tiny bit of empowerment. What fan doesn't want to

209
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: be empowered? So this era that we're in I think

210
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 3: is better than what we used to be going through.

211
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: It's it's better than it used to be, and it's

212
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 3: taking some getting used to. I understand that you're gonna

213
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 3: find some cord cutters who are like, look, I'm just

214
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 3: paying for the entire season. I don't want to worry

215
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 3: about it. By the way, that would be me. I'm

216
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: not yet a cord cutter for what it's worth. But

217
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a lot of folks, you know, like

218
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: there there are people who they get rid of Netflix.

219
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 3: So they get rid of Peacock because a favorite show

220
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: is is is finished in first run, or you know what,

221
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 3: I was subscribing and now I get other stuff I

222
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: want to pay for and so I hate to do it,

223
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: but this is going to be the service that I cancel.

224
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 3: Now Cincinnati Reds games are going to be a part

225
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 3: of that discussion. You're going to be a little bit

226
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 3: more discerning. You've got the power to cancel. You've got

227
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: the power to not pay for something if you're not

228
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,840
Speaker 3: getting what you're looking for out of it. This is,

229
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 3: in a small, small way, a really good era for

230
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 3: fan empowerment because not only now can you say I'm

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 3: not gonna buy tickets, now you could say I'm not

232
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: going to subscribe to watch the games at home. Sixteen

257
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 3: Why are their events happening before the opening ceremonies?

258
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 2: I was about day.

259
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: I thought that the ceremonies was Friday. Since tomorrow, right

260
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 3: is that it's not tomorrow? Already in Courtena, Milano, so

261
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 3: the the opening ceremonies don't take place until tomorrow. But

262
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:39,000

265
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 3: the men's Big Air snowboard. I had to look on

266
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: FanDuel and see if I can get odds on the

267
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 3: Jay Canter from the US is currently in eighth place.

268
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: I gotta see what odds we can get him out.

269
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 3: I decided this year because my college basketball teams aren't

270
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: very good, I'm gonna be all into Thelympics all in,

271
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 3: like I like the Olympics, like the Olympics a lot.

272
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 3: Olympic hockey is the best. But like this year, I'm

273
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 3: gonna go overboard. But I'm also going to pretend like

274
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: I'm an expert on all the sports. So I'm gonna

275
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: like chime in on social media, which is a great

276
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 3: place to sort of show your expertise that nobody was

277
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: aware of. And I'm gonna go on and explain, like,

278
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: you know, well, why this Bob's letter was the better

279
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 3: bobsledter of the other bob's letters. And I might do

280
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: it here. In the men's Big Air snowboarding competition, which

281
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 3: is currently being led by Japan's h Ogiwara I don't

282
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 3: know what the age stands for. We don't have a

283
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 3: guy in the top six, but I will keep you

284
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: up to date and let you know what's happening. And

293
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 3: on a tweet, the better. But we love tweets. Despite

294
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: all the the other advancements in social media, all the

295
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 3: other ways you can put yourself out there on the Internet,

296
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 3: Twitter is still the most relevant. And yes I still

297
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 3: call it Twitter at Moeger thanks to Delta Dental, which

298
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,360

Speaker 3: Delta Dental. Oh dot com, Uh, Chad Brendle and the

300
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 3: Bearcats coming up in just about twenty minutes. I've said

301
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 3: a few times on this show that I am a

302
00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 3: huge admirer of the University of Houston's basketball program, which

303
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: the Cougars have. Another great team rank in the top ten.

304
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 3: Last night destroyed a pretty good UCF team by twenty

305
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 3: four points. Kingston Flemings. If I rooted for an NBA

306
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 3: team that had a top ten pick in the draft,

307
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:14,479
Speaker 3: that would be who I wanted. Not the number one

308
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 3: pick in the draft, but that would be who I wanted.

309
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 3: He just looks and feels like a Houston basketball player.

310
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 3: I admire that program because A they have an identity,

311
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 3: and it's never been more difficult to carve out an

312
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 3: identity in college basketball. B. For the most part, the

313
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: identity they have is the one that you see used

314
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 3: to have, and so I'm envious. But I really admire

315
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 3: that program. I wanted Houston badly to win the national

316
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 3: championship last year, and barring some miraculous run by one

317
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 3: of the teams that I root for, that's who I

318
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 3: want to win it this year. Kelvin Samson, the Kelvin

319
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 3: Sampson rebrand has been I think, really fun to watch.

320
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 3: Disgraced former IU coach is probably gonna be in the

321
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 3: Nate Smith Memorial Hall of Fame because of his work

322
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 3: at Houston and obviously prior to that Oklahoma. But this

323
00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: is weak. I'm sorry. This is Kelvin Sampson after last

324
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 3: night's twenty four point victory, crying poverty on behalf of

325
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 3: the Houston Athletic Department.

326
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 6: Now, we participate in the NIO just like everybody else.

327
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 6: We know what our kids market value is. I mean

328
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 6: they're trust me, they're not starving here. They're getting They're

329
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:39,679
Speaker 6: getting exactly what the market is for them. But you know,

330
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 6: we have a very poor athletic department.

331
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: We're poor.

332
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 6: You know, we're poor when I got here, and we're

333
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 6: still poor. We probably have the lowest budget of anybody

334
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 6: in power for you know, and you know the way

335
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 6: our recruiting is going, we have to stop at some

336
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 6: point because we don't have enough money to keep bringing

337
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 6: in really good players. And that's not easy for us

338
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 6: to do. People ask about recruiting. You know, teams that

339
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 6: have the best recruiting classes usually have the most money.

340
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 2: That's the way it is today.

341
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we we know, uh you know, we signed

342
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: uh I Kenna and Arathon early. You know a lot

343
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 6: of these kids we have will come back. But who

344
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 6: knows what else will all sign be thereu's how much.

345
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 2: Money we have.

346
00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 6: It's not about who do we want to sign, it

347
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 6: is who can we afford to sign. And even even

348
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 6: though we've been doing this h nil thing that it

349
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 6: still feels funny for me to even say that. It's

350
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 6: like a culture shot that that's coming out of my

351
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 6: mouth because for so many years it's illegal to do that.

352
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 6: But it's legal now. That's why they call it nil.

353
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:54,879
Speaker 6: Now it's legal.

354
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 3: Just quickly here he Houston has qualified for the last

355
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,479
Speaker 3: six Sweet sixteens, the last three NCAA tournaments, They've been

356
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 3: a one seed. They were this close to winning a

357
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 3: national championship last year. And maybe they're doing all of

358
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 3: that in spite of having a quote poor athletic department.

359
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 3: Here's what I'm looking for. He may be right. I'm

360
00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:25,679
Speaker 3: sure in comparison to other Big twelve schools, other schools

361
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,959
Speaker 3: in the state of Texas, but they could pay for

362
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,160
Speaker 3: players pales in comparison. Now, I'd be willing to bet

363
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 3: a guy like Travis Steele's over there or a guy

364
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,239
Speaker 3: like Rich Patino's over there going. I'd like to have

365
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 3: those problems. Also, Houston has football. Do what you want

366
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: with that, I'm looking for the first college football or

367
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,760
Speaker 3: basketball coach who will publicly say, you know what, we're

368
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 3: we're actually flush with cash. Maybe that's happened and I

369
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 3: missed it. We are, We're loaded. In fact, we don't

370
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 3: don't need any more money. We're good, right a check

371
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: to something else donated to the school's academic endeavors. I

372
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 3: am mostly all in on ANIL have been for a while.

373
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 3: Certainly believe that there should be more regulation than there is.

374
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 3: I don't know how we get there. But the one

375
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: thing I don't like about this is like everybody has

376
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: their pockets out. Now, everybody's got their hands out. Now

377
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: when you're losing, it's an excuse, and now when you're winning,

378
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 3: it's a preemptive excuse in case the winning stops. I

379
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 3: like Kelvin Samson. I'm gonna admire of his program. When

380
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 3: you're twenty and two, nobody wants to hear about how

381
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 3: poor you are. By the way, there's never going to

382
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 3: be a level playing field in college boards because there

383
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,480
Speaker 3: never has been. Somebody is always going to have more,

384
00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: somebody's always going to have more resources. That was the

385
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: case ten years ago. It was the case eighty years ago.

386
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 3: It's getting me the case twenty years from now. But

387
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 3: the sort of like crummy part about this is is now,

388
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 3: if you lose, it's it's our finances. It's what we

389
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 3: don't have financially. Now. When you win, yeah, but when

390
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 3: we lose, it's going to be because we don't have

391
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: enough money. So keep pumping money into those golfers. Twenty

392

Speaker 3: nine away from four o'clock. Let's make some money on

413
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 3: you who's winning, but I'm sure that information is accessible

414
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 3: to you if you need it. Here's what we need.

415
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 3: We need our guy Lee Sterling Paramount sports dot com.

416
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,000
Speaker 3: A staple of our show during the regular season. College

417
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 3: and pro football makes us a lot of money. We

418
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 3: have them on on the Thursday before the Super Bowl

419
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 3: every year. So talk about the game, some props inside

420
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: the game, maybe some props that have nothing to do

421
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 3: with the game, and of course his daughter's famous national

422
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,159
Speaker 3: anthem over underpick. Lee is on Twitter at Paramount sports

423
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 3: dot com. How you been, I'm good.

424
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 2: I'm good. Came up forty yards short in the National

425
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 2: Championship Game, but other than that, can't complain quite a run.

426
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: So feel pretty good about the run, and feel good

427
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 2: that Hurricanes football looks like we're finally back.

428
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: It sure does, it sure does. Let's you're back too,

429
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: So let's let's talk. Let's talk about some actual, like

430
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 3: football related props first.

431
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So most people love to play who's going

432
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,239
Speaker 2: to score the first touchdown? It is so random that

433
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 2: if you're wagering on this with serious money, probably not

434
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: the way to go here. So I would rather take

435
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 2: a player who I think will score during the game,

436
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 2: And I think the best guy is probably someone like

437
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:03,440
Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker, the third running back for Seattle. Anytime touchdown

438
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 2: minus one twenty, take a shot on him.

439
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 7: You know, if you got twenty twenty five people.

440
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: At the party you're going to and you want to

441
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 2: just put names in a hat, then you can do

442
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: first down at a time touchdown. That would be fun

443
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 2: that way. A couple others. There's a couple of receivers.

444
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Cooper cup Wide receiver for Seattle over

445
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: two and a half receptions. The Patriots love to use

446
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 2: a lot of zone defense. He's really good at reading

447
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: zone defenses and knowing where to go, what seem when

448
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 2: to sit down in these zone defenses, and they're starting

449
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 2: to use them worse. I'll take Cooper Cup over two

450
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: and a half receptions. Two receivers. I like, either going

451
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: four or against them. For the New England Patriots Mac Hollins,

452
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: so he's only going to catch probably two or three passes,

453
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: but when they do, you're not going to see many

454
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 2: flanker screens from him. They use him to go down

455
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:58,439
Speaker 2: the field.

456
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 7: He's six y four two twenty.

457
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:04,879
Speaker 2: Physical long arms. They have him as over fifteen and

458
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: a half yards longest reception. I love that. I'll go

459
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 2: over there and Stefan Diggs. Four and a half receptions

460
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 2: is his number, and it's probably because he's caught four

461
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 2: and five balls the last two games, but I think

462
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: he's lost a step and he's going to face a

463
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: lot of Manda Man coverage. So I'll go under four

464
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 2: and a half receptions here for Stefan Diggs.

465
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 3: All right, Lee Sterling is with us from Paramount sports

466
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 3: dot com. Are there any props outside of the game

467
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: itself you want to give me?

468
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: So I don't do the gatorade or anything like that.

469
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,119
Speaker 2: Most of those will come out this afternoon, tonight or

470
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. We'll study those more.

471
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 3: Now.

472
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: As you know, we love the national anthem, Yes, and

473
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 2: maybe this year more than most years. The first nine

474
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: times my daughter did it pretty easy. The last two

475
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: years have been tough. Two years ago, Reeveen McIntyre, my

476
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,399
Speaker 2: daughter had the under the under, but she decided to

477
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: sing the last line home with the brave twice right.

478
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 2: And so what happened was most books paid it both ways.

479
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 2: They figured, hey, we're gonna most don't allow more than

480
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars to be what bet on that wager,

481
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: so it's a good will gesture. They paid both sides.

482
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 2: Last year she liked the under, didn't love it. She

483
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 2: said it's going to be tight. Boy was it tight.

484
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 2: Came in by anywhere from a half a second to

485
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 2: a second. So she's right now we'll call it a

486
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 2: ten oh in one. So this year, Charlie Poot is

487
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: going to be singing the national anthem. He's never sung

488
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:45,280
Speaker 2: it before. Never, there's no video, no sporting event he

489
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: has ever sung it. So you're saying, well, how can

490
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 2: you handicap him singing over under a minute in fifty

491
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 2: nine and a half seconds, Well, He actually did an

492
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 2: interview my daughter found with Ryan Seacrest a little over

493
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: two weeks ago. He said he takes it seriously, said

494
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,919
Speaker 2: that the other New Jersey native that did it with

495
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 2: him has done the national anthem, Whitney Houston is the

496
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: gold standard. No one will touch that. But he said

497
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 2: he's going to do it differently. And he he's a

498
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:18,439
Speaker 2: composer also, and he said he's going to do it

499
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 2: with a choir and an orchestra. So I have a

500
00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 2: feeling and she does too, that it's going to play

501
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 2: out a little longer than normal. So it sits right

502
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: now at a minute in fifty nine and a half seconds.

503
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: She likes the over a lot on that.

504
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 3: All right, very good. The track record is unimpeccable or unimpeachable,

505
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 3: so you can't argue with your daughter. Game itself, Seattle,

506
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 3: the line has held study at four and a half

507
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 3: since it came out late. We should go this past

508
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,880
Speaker 3: Sunday to post a total forty five and a half.

509
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Do you feel strongly either way about one of the other.

510
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: I actually like the game now. The last seven years

511
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 2: team less having tries, the team has been favored by

512
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 2: four more points. Oh to seven against spread. The last

513
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: time a favorite it's covered by more than four points

514
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 2: was going back to Peyton Manning in the Indianapolis culture

515
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 2: of the Chicago Bears. I feel that New England's not

516
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 2: quite there yet. I think by being able to play

517
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:26,200
Speaker 2: Denver in the AFC Championship was to their supreme advantage

518
00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: and could have lost that game. If they would have

519
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,840
Speaker 2: gone down ten to nothing might have been different. But

520
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 2: Sean Payton decided to go for a fourth and one

521
00:29:34,920 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: early in the first late in the first quarter, and

522
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 2: they never were able to mount anything after that point,

523
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: lost ten to seven. I think that something's wrong with

524
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 2: Drake May's shoulder. He's thrown eight interceptions in the last

525
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: thirteen games. Also, it's about explosive plays in the NFL,

526
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 2: and right now Romande Stevenson is fine, he's playing well,

527
00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 2: but he's due to fumble. I would if I was them,

528
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 2: I would probably look to maybe move more into Henderson

529
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 2: into the lineup. He has I think three or four

530
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 2: runs of more than fifty yards for touchdowns. But let's

531
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: Stevenson fumbles that. It doesn't look like it's going to

532
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: be the case. So I think that Seattle's legion of

533
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 2: Boom Defense is right there. They probably forced a fumble

534
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 2: in an interception. I think Sam Darnold has finally figured

535
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 2: it out. I'm gonna take Seattle Lay the four and

536
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 2: a half. I have winning twenty seven to sixteen.

537
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: Great minds think Alikely, we've been on the same page

538
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 3: with pretty much everything you've articulated, mainly that right there,

539
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 3: Seattle and Lay in the point. Sorry, Paramount sports dot com.

540
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:42,880

Speaker 8: Hot Pilates, getting ready to make my way towards Fifth

590

Speaker 8: Third Arena. Wow, what an exciting Thursday.

591
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: It really sounds like it. It sounds like an amazing Thursday.

592
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 3: Is Seanabayev gonna play for the Bearcats again this year?

593
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 8: I mean if his ankle heels Yeah, what benefit I

594
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 8: had this question asked last night on the bcjpod. What

595
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 8: benefit would he have to shut it down? He hasn't

596
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 8: played well, right, so if he's gonna play college basketball

597
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 8: again next year, like he needs to come back and

598
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 8: play well down the stretch of the season. Like the

599
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 8: he's obviously not gonna I mean, he might do it,

600
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 8: but he's not gonna be selected in the NBA draft,

601
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 8: so like he has to help his value on the

602
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 8: open market. So I mean, I just don't see, Like,

603
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:31,879
Speaker 8: if his ankle gets back to healthy, it doesn't make

604
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 8: any sense for me for him to shut it down

605
00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 8: because nobody's gonna have a positive opinion of him at

606
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,439
Speaker 8: that point.

607
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,560
Speaker 3: Will Jalen Haynes play for the Bearcats this season?

608
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:48,960
Speaker 8: If ever, that's a tougher question. The problem there is

609
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,520
Speaker 8: logic would say sit it out, get a waiver play

610
00:34:55,600 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 8: next year, but from my understanding, that's not a guarantee.

611
00:35:01,160 --> 00:35:05,839
Speaker 8: He would have to go through the NCAA to get

612
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 8: a waiver on a season where he competed in games back.

613
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 8: I think his second year in college basketball, and they've

614
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 8: cracked down on some of what his waiver case would be.

615
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 8: So there's a possibility this is his last opportunity to

616
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 8: play college basketball. They know more about that than I do,

617
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 8: so I couldn't tell you one hundred percent what the

618
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 8: thinking is there, but there is a chance that his

619
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 8: only ability to play college basketball to finish out this season.

620
00:35:42,040 --> 00:35:47,879
Speaker 8: That said, Mo, he's still doing non contact stuff at practice.

621
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 8: That's a long way to go from and he hasn't

622
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:56,799
Speaker 8: played since late June early July, and he's still not

623
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 8: doing contact work. I don't know that he would physically

624
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 8: be able to play even if you know they got

625
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,520
Speaker 8: to a point where he wanted to.

626
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 3: Are they gonna beat West Virginia tonight?

627
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 8: I think so, But with with the inefficiency inconsistent. They

628
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 8: are consistently inconsistent, which I feel like is something we've

629
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 8: said too many times over the last five years. The

630
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 8: splits this year say much better at.

631
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:29,359
Speaker 2: Home than on the road.

632
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 8: They should have beat West Virginia. At West Virginia, you

633
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 8: would think you'll get a much more advantageous performance from

634
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:48,640
Speaker 8: Gisel James and Dayde Thomas than we've seen on the road.

635
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 8: So I think they're better than West Virginia playing at home.

636
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 8: But then again, with the way that they struggle to

637
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 8: close out games, they could have the game in hand

638
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 8: with two minutes left and and still not end up

639
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 8: victorious like we saw in Morgantown. So if I was

640
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:13,279
Speaker 8: wagering your money, I would bet on the Bearcats. If

641
00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 8: I was wagering my money, I'd probably just keep it

642
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:16,880
Speaker 8: in my pocket.

643
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 3: That that sounds like the prudent the prudent action there,

644
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 3: Chad Brendle's with his Bearcat journal dot com. I played

645
00:37:23,840 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 3: the audio earlier of Kelvin Sampson crying poverty for his

646
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 3: athletic department. Have you heard a coach in college basketball

647
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 3: or college football talk about how flushed their athletic department

648
00:37:37,040 --> 00:37:37,880
Speaker 3: is with money?

649
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 8: I guess not. You know what we had Mark Students

650
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:48,240
Speaker 8: a couple of years ago, like basically telling the fans,

651
00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 8: we're losing because you're not giving us enough money. That

652
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,799
Speaker 8: was that was a great look. That really that really

653
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 8: did him well. I think that was the start of

654
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 8: his demise. No, I don't think so. But what Kelvin saying,

655
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 8: They're going to have to cut back on their spending,

656
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 8: So what they're only going to get two five stars

657
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 8: next year. That's three five star players this year. One

658
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 8: of them is the top five player in the sport

659
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 8: in Kingston Flemings and Chris Sinak has been excellent over

660
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 8: the past two weeks or so for Houston, Like, oh,

661
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 8: save me the low as me. Kelvin Samson's not going

662
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 8: to be able to build a roster. And plus Bo

663
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,919
Speaker 8: that's a guy that was paying players under the table seven, eight,

664
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 8: ten years ago, Guy Dondireau. Yeah, he got money to

665
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:47,880
Speaker 8: transfer to Houston. So like, spare me the indignation on

666
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 8: how the sport is being ruined just because you don't

667
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 8: have the advantages that you had when they weren't letting

668
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 8: everybody cheat miss me on that.

669
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:02,240
Speaker 3: Just one of the few things I don't like about

670
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 3: this is when you're losing, this is just the go

671
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:08,279
Speaker 3: to excuse, right, it's it's not my fault, it's we

672
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 3: don't have enough money. But now when you're winning, it's

673
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 3: an excuse in case we somehow end up continuing to

674
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 3: not win. I got to get out in front of

675
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,880
Speaker 3: it by just saying like, ah, we're winning in spite

676
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:20,719
Speaker 3: of what we don't have financially.

677
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's just a crunch, and and they're all

678
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 8: leaning on it one thousand percent. Like, I wonder how

679
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,200
Speaker 8: many of the big donors are like, man, I just

680
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 8: cut a three million dollar check for you to buy

681
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:37,439
Speaker 8: good players. What do you mean you don't have enough

682
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 8: money to.

683
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 2: Buy a roster.

684
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 8: That's what I want to hear. I want to hear

685
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 8: the expos a from a donor and it's like, and

686
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:47,120
Speaker 8: I gave them all the money I had. I'm bankrupt

687
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 8: now because I paid for this roster?

688
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 3: How much? In the sport as a whole. This doesn't

689
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: have to necessarily be about u CEO though obviously that's

690
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 3: that's the school, that's the athletic department you cover. You

691
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:04,480
Speaker 3: hear the term donor fatigue even for winning programs. I've

692
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 3: got to think that not only has that set in,

693
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 3: but it's going to start to become almost reality for

694
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 3: so many programs, including possibly here.

695
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:17,719
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's the big thing. That's why everybody talks about

696
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,759
Speaker 8: having like billionaire donors. Right right, If I've got three

697
00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 8: hundred dollars and you want twenty of it, like, that's

698
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,919
Speaker 8: that's you know, a substantial amount of like dollars. I'm

699
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 8: giving you. If I have five thousand dollars and you

700
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 8: want twenty, that's a little bit more reasonable, right.

701
00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 9: So the donor fatigue.

702
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 8: Part, like there are going to be these large state

703
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 8: land grand institutions that are just going to be better

704
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 8: able to sustain this a place like Cincinnati, like there's

705
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:55,279
Speaker 8: not a billionaire donor. There's not a guy that you

706
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 8: can just hey, write me some checks and make everything okay.

707
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,479
Speaker 8: So then you're leaning on guys that you know might

708
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 8: have a hundred million or two hundred million, which is

709
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 8: an absurd amount of money. But people that have that

710
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 8: amount of money didn't get there by giving large percentages

711
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 8: of it away turn on investment.

712
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 3: So well, I think Chad went away. I think we

713
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,239
Speaker 3: lost him. That's okay, that is all right. Chad needs

714
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: a billionaire to help fund better sell service. Chad Brendle

715
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:35,560

Speaker 3: we're having a hard time making phone calls four o'clock.

718
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty win one thousand dollars just entered this nation.

719

720
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 3: Enter it now, that's me five out or four. This

721
00:41:55,520 --> 00:42:00,759
Speaker 3: is ESPN fifteen thirty. It has been related there at

722
00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl that Trey Hendrickson may go play for

723
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens, and you know what, that's okay, more

724
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:13,000
Speaker 3: on that here in just a few minutes plus. Pretty

725
00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,560
Speaker 3: good chance you're not paying attention to what's happening with

726
00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:19,920
Speaker 3: the Detroit Tigers and their players and arbitration cases. But

727
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 3: it points out something that the Reds have done that's really,

728
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,399
Speaker 3: really smart that I don't believe, and you may disagree.

729
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,439
Speaker 3: I don't believe they get nearly enough credit for. I'll

730
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 3: explain that coming up here in just a bit, just

731
00:42:34,440 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: quickly to dovetail off what Chad and I were just

732
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 3: talking about. We played the Kelvin Sampson audio before. I

733
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 3: think there's two things about the griping about nil money.

734
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,640
Speaker 3: Number One, if the idea is for everybody to be

735
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,240
Speaker 3: on a level playing field, that's never going to happen.

736
00:42:49,760 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 3: It's never happened in the history of college sports, never

737
00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,319
Speaker 3: prior to nil becoming a thing in twenty twenty one,

738
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 3: where Ohio State and US see on the same level.

739
00:43:02,040 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 3: No I'm as big of a Bearcat fanashill find and

740
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 3: there was never going to be anything that leveled that

741
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,560
Speaker 3: playing field. Now, the transfer portal has, I think, allowed

742
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 3: for a wider distribution of talent where you know, you

743
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 3: got guys who don't want to be backups at a

744
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 3: place like Ohio State, but they're Ohio State caliber players,

745
00:43:22,040 --> 00:43:24,759
Speaker 3: and they go and find a place that they might

746
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 3: not have ordinarily gone to because they can start. And

747
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:30,400
Speaker 3: so a place that ordinarily might not get a player

748
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: that good now gets them because there's at least opportunity.

749
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,120
Speaker 3: But you know, the widening of the gap because of

750
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:41,520
Speaker 3: nil like a sout recap, isn't going to change things

751
00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:46,719
Speaker 3: that dramatically. It will have an effect, and I'm not

752
00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 3: entirely opposed to it, but we've never had level playing

753
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 3: fields in college sports. There's a reason why we've had

754
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: so much movement among coaches, right because they're always you know,

755
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 3: it's interesting. You never hear coaches talk about how there

756
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 3: has to be a cap on their salaries.

757
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 8: Do you.

758
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,560
Speaker 3: Know you never hear, well, you know, the coach at

759
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: Central Michigan should make as much money as the coach

760
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 3: at Michigan. You never hear that it's not realistic, nor

761
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,080
Speaker 3: is it realistic to expect schools to spend all the

762
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 3: same on recruiting and travel and marketing and all the

763
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 3: different things they invest in. And that's been the case

764
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,760
Speaker 3: for a very long time. I don't recall anybody complaining

765
00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 3: about it, you know, back in the day, and I

766
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 3: guess to a degree, maybe we'll say it's credit. But

767
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 3: back in the day, when Mick Cronin first became the

768
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,800
Speaker 3: basketball coach at you see, he loudly made the case

769
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,320
Speaker 3: for like I got to be able to have planes

770
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: at my disposal. I need to be able to jump

771
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 3: on a plane and go on recruiting trips. I need

772
00:44:53,239 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 3: my team to charter it, you know, when Bob Huggins

773
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,839
Speaker 3: was the coach. And this isn't just to uce thing,

774
00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 3: but like they're still flying commercial for the most part,

775
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,840
Speaker 3: whether it was for recruiting or making trips to go

776
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:11,719
Speaker 3: play road games or neutral site games. Uh. And Mick

777
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,440
Speaker 3: was like there were folks who like said, well, mixed

778
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 3: whining too much and like Mick does complain, say what

779
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,719
Speaker 3: you want, but he's whining too much. Point was like,

780
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,680
Speaker 3: I'm at a disadvantage here because of travel. I'm at

781
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:26,640
Speaker 3: a disadvantage here because my team's gonna fly commercial. I'm

782
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 3: going to disadvantage here because me or my staff wants

783
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:32,439
Speaker 3: to go see a dude go recruiting, like I gotta,

784
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 3: I gotta go to Expedia and book a flight on Delta,

785
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,799
Speaker 3: and I'm at the mercy of the airlines. And by

786
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 3: the way, much of that got rectified. But there have

787
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:46,520
Speaker 3: always been inequities. Twenty eighteen NCAA tournament, Xavier and UC

788
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:50,040
Speaker 3: played in the same place. Xavier flu u see bust.

789
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 3: You know, Like so this, this search for a level

790
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 3: playing field is a search for something that's never existed

791
00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:04,920
Speaker 3: in the In the mid two thousands, UC started to

792
00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 3: spend more money on football recruiting, but I think even

793
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 3: at the height of Brian Kelly, they were still maybe

794
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:19,160
Speaker 3: the lowest team in terms of Big East recruiting expenditure rankings.

795
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:22,360
Speaker 3: I don't know that I needed to quite put it

796
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 3: that way. Never been a level playing field, So you

797
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: really want to level of the playing field. Let's have

798
00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: everybody operate with the same recruiting budget. Let's give everybody

799
00:46:30,200 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: the same TV and media money. Right, Let's put a

800
00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 3: limit on what schools can invest in facilities. We're obviously

801
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:44,680
Speaker 3: talking about amazingly unrealistic things, and that's okay. But this

802
00:46:45,160 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 3: search for a level playing field is a search for

803
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: something that we've never said we wanted before, and now

804
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,160
Speaker 3: somehow we're looking for it. I think the other thing

805
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:58,640
Speaker 3: is Chad used the perfect word before his phone died. Crutch,

806
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 3: Like this is the only part of it that I really, really,

807
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 3: really dislike. It's a crutch. My team underperformed. We didn't

808
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 3: make a bowl game, we didn't compete for a league title,

809
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 3: we had no chance of playing in the playoff. We're

810
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:17,840
Speaker 3: not a tournament team. It's not your coaching, it's not

811
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 3: your decision to recruit these particular players. It's not your

812
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:27,600
Speaker 3: ability or lack thereof to blend a team together, none

813
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:33,760
Speaker 3: of that. It's money beyond my control. Money. It's a crutch.

814
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:37,040
Speaker 3: It's a crutch for bad teams being coached by people

815
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 3: who underperform. It's also now going to become a crutch

816
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:46,399
Speaker 3: for the coaches who are killing it. Calvin Sampson's got

817
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 3: a team that's got a chance to win the national

818
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 3: title this year. But hey, in the event that the

819
00:47:53,800 --> 00:48:00,319
Speaker 3: good times cease, not my fault not enough money. I mean,

820
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:03,520
Speaker 3: it's it's not unlike baseball owners, like so much of

821
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 3: what has been exasperating about being a baseball fan for

822
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:10,400
Speaker 3: the last you know, really thirty years has been just

823
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:15,280
Speaker 3: the non stop, just incessant pulling out of the empty

824
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 3: pockets by small market owners and the sorry, we just

825
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,399
Speaker 3: and by the way, it's it's at times not even

826
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 3: small market owners. The Cubs have done this. Previous ownership

827
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:29,400
Speaker 3: of the New York Mets did this. And you know,

828
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,840
Speaker 3: when something is said repeatedly, eventually there are gonna be

829
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,840
Speaker 3: people who buy it. That's happened in baseball.

830
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 2: Now.

831
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's financial inequities. We all know what they are.

832
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 3: But we've allowed financial inequity in baseball to be an

833
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 3: excuse to be a crutch or we're not winning. But

834
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,759
Speaker 3: surely it's not your inability to develop players. Surely it's

835
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:53,239
Speaker 3: not the players who invested in underperforming. Surely it's not

836
00:48:53,360 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 3: decisions being made in the dugout. It's well, we just

837
00:48:57,200 --> 00:48:59,759
Speaker 3: we don't have any money. And now you're seeing that

838
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:04,880
Speaker 3: in college sports, it's a crutch. I mean, I like

839
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 3: Scott Saderfield. I know opinions on him are aren't very

840
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 3: high right now because and understandably so, because of what's

841
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,360
Speaker 3: happened in November and any amount of frustration being aimed

842
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 3: at him. I think he would be the first to

843
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:20,880
Speaker 3: admit he deserved but right when the season ended. He

844
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:22,879
Speaker 3: did it in an interview with Tony Pike, right after

845
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 3: I think the last regular season game of the year,

846
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 3: where he talked about, like, need more money. I'm paraphrasing

847
00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 3: him here, like after your team has lost it's what

848
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,120
Speaker 3: was it, fourth consecutive game to end the season. That's

849
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 3: not what anybody wants to hear. It may be true

850
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 3: in many cases, but now it's the crutch, pull out

851
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 3: your empty pockets. Don't have any cash. Not me, It's

852
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 3: not our coaching, it's not the coaches I hired. It's

853
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 3: it's not the players that we chose not being as

854
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,840
Speaker 3: good as we thought. It's well, we don't have any money.

855
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,719
Speaker 3: And that's There's so much about nil and play compensation

856
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,920
Speaker 3: that I love, that is fair, that is overdue. I

857
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,520
Speaker 3: can't think of a college sports fan that doesn't want

858
00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:11,239
Speaker 3: some degree of regulation. I do. But the biggest part

859
00:50:11,280 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 3: I don't like about this is it's it's now just

860
00:50:13,560 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: built in. If we stink. It's money we can blame.

861
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 3: And when you blame money, you're you're really blaming fans.

862
00:50:20,880 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 3: You might be blaming the more well healed fans among fans,

863
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: but you're you're still blaming fans. But it's it's like

864
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 3: blaming a team's bad attendance for it not winning in

865
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 3: the pros. We'll have enough money. By the way, there's

866
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:38,240
Speaker 3: some there have been some really brazen college coaches. Kenny Dillingham,

867
00:50:38,280 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 3: the coach at Arizona State, toward the end of the season,

868
00:50:41,760 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 3: like was blatantly saying, like, hey man, there's got to

869
00:50:44,360 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 3: be restaurants in this area that should you know, give

870
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 3: our players like a thousand bucks a name of sandwich

871
00:50:49,520 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 3: after him. Now, my counter to that was, if you

872
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:53,880
Speaker 3: own a restaurant, take that thousand dollars and give it

873
00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:56,279
Speaker 3: to a line cook or a bar back, or a

874
00:50:56,320 --> 00:51:01,839
Speaker 3: server or a host or hostess. But and I get,

875
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,000
Speaker 3: I get like they're they're all trying to earn as

876
00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:09,040
Speaker 3: much money for their programs as possible, but it's it's

877
00:51:09,160 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 3: just become the go to and in it, like college

878
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:17,160
Speaker 3: programs weren't sticking their hands out for money for all

879
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:20,880
Speaker 3: sorts of things to begin with. But now even before

880
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 3: your roster isn't nearly as good, we're hearing about how

881
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:27,920
Speaker 3: poor you are. Like that's it's going to get so fatiguing.

882
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 3: That's the off putting part about this era that we're in.

883
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 3: Quarter after four on ESPN fifteen thirty five Win three

Speaker 3: Reds to this day, I don't think get credit for

00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,719
Speaker 3: something they deserve credit for that. Coming up at four

906
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 3: times there's times I want to take a nap during

907
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 3: the show. There are times where during the show it

908
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:53,680
Speaker 3: sounds like I'm half napping, no offense.

909
00:52:54,760 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: Uh.

910
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes when we go to Mike, we catch him like

911
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 3: mid nap. Let's see it's joining US Radio Road tomorrow.

Speaker 3: What? What was rude?

916
00:53:08,840 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 2: Well?

917
00:53:09,040 --> 00:53:10,200

00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: Sometimes we go to you and you're either napping that's

919
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:18,160
Speaker 3: happened before, or you're doing something else. I'm just I'm

920
00:53:18,239 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 3: using I'm using your track record. But but now you're

921
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: obviously wide awake. Are you just sitting on hold so

922
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 3: you could hear the show?

923
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, because we're having trouble with the Wi Fi in

924
00:53:30,160 --> 00:53:32,600
Speaker 9: the building the last week or so, so gotcha?

925
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 2: Oh that's why, gotcha?

926
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 9: And uh, I hate to bother you with the emails,

927
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 9: but uh, well we do.

928
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,279
Speaker 3: We do prefer if it's possible for you to listen

929
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app if if Traditional fifteen thirty on

930
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 3: the AM band is not available.

931
00:53:48,000 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 9: Gotcha? Okay, now my first question to you listen is

932
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 9: smarty pants.

933
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

934
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,920
Speaker 9: Well, I'll get to the end regarding Super Bowl paraphernalia,

935
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 9: love to pick up for you?

936
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,879
Speaker 3: And oh how about that? All right? Now, now you've

937
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 3: gotten our attention. We're gonna get some some swag out

938
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:06,880
Speaker 3: of this.

939
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:07,080
Speaker 5: Now.

940
00:54:07,280 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 3: Now I'm perked up, I'm ready to go. What else

941
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 3: is on your mind?

942
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:14,640
Speaker 9: Okay? Why are you the publicist for Houston Cougars?

943
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: Why am I the publicist for the Houston Cougars. I

944
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 3: just spent five minutes ripping their coach?

945
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:22,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, but you love that team?

946
00:54:22,840 --> 00:54:23,240
Speaker 3: I do?

947
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:24,479
Speaker 9: You love that team?

948
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 3: I do? Yes? I love how they play. Yes. I've

949
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 3: explained this to you before, Mike. I think in this

950
00:54:30,800 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 3: era of college basketball, it's increasingly difficult for a program

951
00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 3: to have an identity, and yet they do. Would you

952
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:38,880
Speaker 3: disagree with that?

953
00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I think it's the identity is gonna start

954
00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 9: fading away because they're too slow, They're not.

955
00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 3: The most athletic team. They're also twenty and two playing

956
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 3: in the Big twelve.

957
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:55,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not so sure. The Big twelve a lot

958
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 9: better than the Big Ten this year.

959
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:00,840
Speaker 10: But anyway, you know, everybody, every time I mentioned Houston,

960
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,360
Speaker 10: you seem to take issue with the fact that I

961
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 10: give you the same explanation all the time. They're twenty

962
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 10: and two, They've made five consecutive Sweet sixteens. They were

963
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 10: in the National Championship Game last year, like, all right, so,

964
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 10: and they're twenty and two this season.

965
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 2: What is there not to like listening?

966
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 9: When I've been listening to you for a long time,

967
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 9: until the last few years, I never heard you even

968
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:23,880
Speaker 9: ever mentioned the Houston koude.

969
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,000
Speaker 3: Right, because it was within the last few years that

970
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 3: that identity. Why would I have mentioned them seven years ago?

971
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:31,840
Speaker 2: Hegan?

972
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 3: Why would I have mentioned them seven years ago? I

973
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 3: don't know, right, I wouldn't have. But Mike, you have

974
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,160
Speaker 3: asked me this like four times, and I've given you

975
00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:46,719
Speaker 3: the same answer every single time. As a UC fan,

976
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 3: I think Houston has Cincinnati's identity lead the country and

977
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: playing hard, hard and knows tough defense, smart players, high IQ,

978
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 3: they rebound the hell out of the ball, and in

979
00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:01,400
Speaker 3: some respects they do things that even my favorite UC

980
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 3: teams didn't do as well. They run great half court stuff.

981
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,760
Speaker 3: But in this era of college basketball, like right now,

982
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:15,800
Speaker 3: what is Kentucky's identity? What's Louisville's identity? What's Michigan's identity?

983
00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 3: Those are you know, Michigan's really good team, Louisville's good,

984
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:22,839
Speaker 3: Kentucky's okay. What are the identities of those programs? There's

985
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 3: only a handful that I can give it to you.

986
00:56:24,560 --> 00:56:27,840
Speaker 3: I think Alabama in recent years offensively have been something

987
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:30,680
Speaker 3: to behold. I'll give them credit for that. Under Natoates,

988
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,399
Speaker 3: what's Duke's identity right now? Duke was in the final

989
00:56:33,440 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 3: four last year? What is that program's identity? That's no

990
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 3: knock on any of those programs. And it's really hard

991
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 3: with so much roster turnover for you to be able

992
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 3: to say, I know what this program is going to

993
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:46,680
Speaker 3: bring to the table every single year. You could say

994
00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,680
Speaker 3: that about Houston. Would you disagree? No?

995
00:56:49,800 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 9: But they don't win the tournament?

996
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 3: So what So the only measure of whether you can

997
00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:56,560
Speaker 3: admire a program is that they win the tournament. That

998
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 3: means no UC basketball team in the last sixty plus

999
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 3: years was deserving of attention. That means that no Xavier

1000
00:57:03,719 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 3: basketball team in history was deserving of attention. You really

1001
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:13,760
Speaker 3: believe that Saint John's basketball has never won the NCAA tournament,

1002
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: Purdue has been in one final four, IU hasn't won

1003
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 3: a title in forty years, but there has There haven't

1004
00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 3: been teams in those programs that we should celebrate. There

1005
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 3: haven't been Hall of Fame coaches. There haven't been players

1006
00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 3: deserving of individual accolades. Like if the only measuring stick, Mike,

1007
00:57:31,320 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 3: there's three hundred but more than three hundred and fifty

1008
00:57:33,480 --> 00:57:36,280
Speaker 3: Division one basketball teams. If the only one that we

1009
00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 3: could give any credit to is the team that wins

1010
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 3: the tournament, following this sport is going to totally suck.

1011
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 3: How many? What's your favorite college basketball team? What? No,

1012
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:53,200
Speaker 3: Mike again, you asked this question all the time, and

1013
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,520
Speaker 3: God love you, I give you the same answer. What

1014
00:57:55,600 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 3: is your favorite college What is your favorite college basketball program?

1015
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 3: Louisville is your favorite college basketball program? Would you like

1016
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 3: to have? Okay, what is your absolute favorite college basketball program?

1017
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,760
Speaker 3: All right? If I told you the Bearcats. Over the

1018
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 3: next five years, we'll go to five consecutive sweet sixteens,

1019
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 3: two final fours, and play for the national championship, but

1020
00:58:20,960 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 3: not win it. Would you sign up for that?

1021
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 9: Sure?

1022
00:58:24,280 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 3: Of course.

1023
00:58:26,360 --> 00:58:28,479
Speaker 9: I get your point. I'm not gonna bring it up again.

1024
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 9: And I didn't mean to get your damage.

1025
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,560
Speaker 3: I like, there's certain like I don't understand why this

1026
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 3: bothers you. I mean, in our entire audience, I've not

1027
00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 3: heard any pushback to like, God, Houston's really good. I

1028
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 3: wish we were like that. Boy, Houston's got this like

1029
00:58:44,600 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 3: the same team every year, Like it bothers you for

1030
00:58:47,480 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 3: some reason, Like don't be bothered by the teams that

1031
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 3: are good. By the way, I've just been five minutes

1032
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 3: ripping the coach for what he said, But don't hate

1033
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 3: the programs that are good, hate the ones that underachieve.

1034
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 3: But if the only measuring stick is you in the

1035
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 3: national title, oh boy, then then following this program, following

1036
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: this sport is going to be almost pointless.

1037
00:59:08,040 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 9: No, I just I get well, your affinity for this

1038
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 9: program has then since they were in the same conference

1039
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 9: with UC, So I get it now.

1040
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 3: I think they've been in the same conference with UC

1041
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:20,959
Speaker 3: for a long time now.

1042
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 9: Yeah, well, yeah, that's true. It is import than the AAC.

1043
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 9: They were in the AAC.

1044
00:59:28,720 --> 00:59:32,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, they they played UC in the AC Tournament championship

1045
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:36,200
Speaker 3: game in twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen. Cincinnati won both.

1046
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 9: All right, I won't bring it up again now my

1047
00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 9: blood pressure is too No, it's not really. Hey, I heard,

1048
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 9: to change the subject. I heard they traded a Bretseuito

1049
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 9: to the Halos.

1050
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 3: Right, well, he signed as a free agent.

1051
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 9: He signed a free agent, so he's got to pitch

1052
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:56,160
Speaker 9: at the Big A, which is the fourth oldest ballpark

1053
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 9: in the major leagues, and that still astounds me.

1054
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it only hosted one World Series, Mike, So

1055
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 3: does it matter?

1056
01:00:04,640 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 8: No, not really.

1057
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 9: It kind of sits off the freeway. It's not as

1058
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,920
Speaker 9: nearly as attracted as Dodger Stadium. But well, I just

1059
01:00:11,920 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 9: thought it was pretty cool because most people wouldn't you

1060
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 9: think of Fenway and Rigley, maybe the Dodgers Stadium, but

1061
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 9: never I never heard anybody say the fourth you know,

1062
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,360
Speaker 9: the Big A. I never heard anybody say that.

1063
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 3: I think you're right. I think if you ask most

1064
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,360
Speaker 3: baseball fans to name the five oldest parts, they would

1065
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:30,720
Speaker 3: easily get the first two, right. They would they would

1066
01:00:30,720 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 3: get Dodger Stadium. I'm not sure they would get Anaheim.

1067
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,240
Speaker 3: And then also in the top five I believe is

1068
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 3: Kansas City.

1069
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,439
Speaker 9: I'm not sure. I just looked at the top four

1070
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 9: and then I got distracted with some kind of interveners.

1071
01:00:47,960 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 9: Intervenous got Okay, So I wanted to ask you guys

1072
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 9: about what you might like from the uh, the super Bowl,

01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:08,400
Speaker 3: to do something nice that.

1122
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 9: What about Crosley? No, well, let's let's focus.

1123
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 3: On Crosley has more clothes than she knows what to

1124
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 3: do with. She does, there's there's a lot of My

1125
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 3: wife also has more clothes than she knows what to

1126
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 3: do with. She wears a uniform to work, so you

1127
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:28,200
Speaker 3: know she doesn't really care.

1128
01:03:30,080 --> 01:03:33,280
Speaker 9: Okay, And one last thing, if you give me a time, well,

1129
01:03:36,160 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 9: go ahead. I'm looking at this Dodger's lineup since they've

1130
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 9: got Tucker in there, scary. It's not even fair. But

1131
01:03:45,040 --> 01:03:47,200
Speaker 9: I just want you to let people know that it's

1132
01:03:47,200 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 9: time to start practicing pictures and catchers and reporting. It's

1133
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 9: time to start practicing with the preseason baseball.

1134
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 3: On the home Dog, well, I would I would not

1135
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 3: suggest you bet on spring training games beyond the first

1136
01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 3: five innings, but the home Dog strategy is, well, yeah, practice,

1137
01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,440
Speaker 3: but here's the thing. In spring training, they don't play series.

1138
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 3: And the whole, the whole philosophy behind the home dog

1139
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 3: strategy is betting a series. In spring training, they don't

1140
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:15,960
Speaker 3: play series.

1141
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 9: But my point is is to start looking at the

1142
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 9: games daily and getting.

1143
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:23,720

01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 3: the helm, Baltimore could steal Hendrickson away from an AFC

1226
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 3: North rival and deploy him as the centerpiece of a

1227
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,439
Speaker 3: pass rushing unit that must improve. In twenty twenty six,

1228
01:09:02,479 --> 01:09:06,160
Speaker 3: Baltimore's thirty sacks this past season tied for the third

1229
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,439
Speaker 3: fewest in the league and marked as significant regression from

1230
01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 3: the fifty four second most in the NFL the team

1231
01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,160
Speaker 3: amassed the prior year. Two things about this Number One,

1232
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:18,200
Speaker 3: does anybody in real life ever use the word helmed

1233
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:23,640
Speaker 3: or helm? Like if let's say the next program to

1234
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 3: hire a coach, is it going to be like, Oh,

1235
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:28,880
Speaker 3: so and so is at the helm Zach Taylor. Hey

1236
01:09:29,040 --> 01:09:31,559
Speaker 3: can't believe Zach Taylor is back at the helm of

1237
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals.

1238
01:09:32,200 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 2: No.

1239
01:09:33,160 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 3: Number two, Okay, Trey Hendrickson is probably not going to

1240
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:41,639
Speaker 3: sign a long term contract with the Bengals. Our friend

1241
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 3: Paul Danner Junior illustrated all the possibilities for Trey in

1242
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:49,920
Speaker 3: his three part series on edge rushers or pass rush

1243
01:09:49,920 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 3: improvement at the Athletic dot Com. It wasn't obviously just

1244
01:09:53,439 --> 01:09:55,600
Speaker 3: on edge rushers, because he talked about the scarcity of

1245
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:59,639
Speaker 3: defensive tackles. It feels like the most likely outcome here

1246
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 3: is Leaves. Now there's a thought of franchise tagging him.

1247
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:06,280
Speaker 3: He plays for the Bengals for close to thirty million dollars.

1248
01:10:06,840 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 3: I'm not sure that's the most prudent use of resources,

1249
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:13,479
Speaker 3: but okay, or you could tag him and try to

1250
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:19,080
Speaker 3: trade him. Lots of different possibilities, But the Bengals were

1251
01:10:19,360 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 3: pretty comfortable a year ago not having Trey in their

1252
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 3: plans for twenty twenty six. Many disagreed, but it was

1253
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 3: very clear they had no plans for Trey beyond twenty

1254
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 3: twenty five. If they did, they probably would assign him.

1255
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 3: Has anything changed since now? When Tray was healthy last year,

1256
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:43,920
Speaker 3: he did play pretty well, but he wasn't as healthy.

1257
01:10:43,920 --> 01:10:45,320
Speaker 3: He's going to be thirty two by the end of

1258
01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:48,679
Speaker 3: the season. If the concerns a year ago were health

1259
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 3: and age, I can't imagine last year did anything to

1260
01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 3: ease concerns about health and age. And you know that,

1261
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 3: plus all the different sort of I don't know, standoff

1262
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,559
Speaker 3: issues and the back and forth and the trays of

1263
01:11:05,600 --> 01:11:10,120
Speaker 3: our lives thing copyright Paul. It just it feels like

1264
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:14,120
Speaker 3: it's time for these two parties to separate. Your guess

1265
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,519
Speaker 3: is as good as mine as to what they'll do

1266
01:11:16,600 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 3: to make the past rush better. Your guess is as

1267
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 3: good as mine as to where Trey is going to

1268
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,760
Speaker 3: end up. But if you're comfortable with letting him go,

1269
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:31,840
Speaker 3: then you have to be comfortable with any possibility for

1270
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 3: where he may go, which means you're comfortable with him

1271
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:43,439
Speaker 3: playing against you twice. You can't change your mind, you know.

1272
01:11:43,479 --> 01:11:46,639
Speaker 3: Well wait a minute, wait, wait, hang on, he could

1273
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 3: he could go to the Steelers. I'm not sure that

1274
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 3: makes sense for them, but I'm not sure a lot

1275
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 3: of the things the Steelers are doing right now makes

1276
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 3: sense for them. We're comfortable with him not being in

1277
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:02,600
Speaker 3: our plans. But he could go. He could go to

1278
01:12:02,600 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 3: the Ravens. Ooh, remember years ago UC did not want

1279
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 3: to move its spring game or any other game to

1280
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 3: Paul Brown Stadium, so that Ohio State was like player

1281
01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 3: spring game at Paul Brown Stadium. And you see fans,

1282
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 3: including some folks that you see were like what no, no, no, no,

1283
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 3: It's like, hey, man, if you're not going to do it,

1284
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 3: they are. If you're comfortable saying no, then you have

1285
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 3: to understand, well, there's there may be some other outcomes

1286
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:38,479
Speaker 3: that you don't like. You can't you can't base your

1287
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 3: decisions about a player based on fear as to which

1288
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 3: specific team he may end up at. It's not unlike

1289
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,799
Speaker 3: how we talk about trades. If you trade away a player,

1290
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,360
Speaker 3: he may still thrive elsewhere, he may thrive against you.

1291
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:54,799
Speaker 3: You've got to be comfortable with what you're getting in return.

1292
01:12:55,200 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 3: You've got to be comfortable with letting that player go.

1293
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 3: You know, the one of the examples for me where

1294
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: we've talked about this, you've got to go back now

1295
01:13:01,640 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 3: seventeen years when the Reds traded Edwin and Carnassion for

1296
01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:08,320
Speaker 3: Scott Rowland, and Edwin and Carnassion went on to just

1297
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 3: crush it for the next like ten years. That's cool.

1298
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,599
Speaker 3: You knew that was a possibility. He at least at

1299
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:18,920
Speaker 3: least had to confront that being at least a slight possibility.

1300
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,080
Speaker 3: But if you were comfortable with what you got out

1301
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,719
Speaker 3: of the deal, which I think the Reds were, then okay, fine,

1302
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 3: Let Edwin and Carnassion go on to be a star elsewhere.

1303
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 3: Same here. If you've been comfortable this entire time with

1304
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson leaving at the end of the season, which

1305
01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 3: has been the Bengals plan apparently all along, that cannot

1306
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 3: change just because wait a minute, no, no, wait, hang on,

1307
01:13:42,520 --> 01:13:44,559
Speaker 3: and they didn't say he was gonna play against us.

1308
01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:48,320
Speaker 3: Can't work that way, because if it does, then you're

1309
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,759
Speaker 3: you're letting other things dictate your decision making. You're also

1310
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 3: then making not totally well thought out moves, like if suddenly,

1311
01:13:58,200 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 3: and I don't think this would be the case, but

1312
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 3: if suddenly, after two years of not having a plan

1313
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,120
Speaker 3: for Trey to play for you in twenty twenty six,

1314
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,599
Speaker 3: you change your mind because oh oh, the Ravens could

1315
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 3: be interested. Then you didn't think this that well, you

1316
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:16,800
Speaker 3: didn't think this out that well, you didn't really plan appropriately.

1317
01:14:18,960 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 3: That's bad planning, that's bad decision making. So all right,

1318
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 3: he may end up with Baltimore. He may end up

1319
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,920
Speaker 3: making them pay. He may have like four sack games

1320
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 3: against the Bengals. He may be a Defensive Player of

1321
01:14:32,360 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 3: the Year finalist for the Baltimore Ravens. If you have

1322
01:14:35,479 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 3: decided already we don't have him and our plans, then

1323
01:14:40,040 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 3: you know that you've acknowledged it and you're willing to

1324
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 3: live with it. You're willing to live with it, and

1325
01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 3: you still have a plan to replace him. We'll see

1326
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 3: if they do. Your plan to replace him still has

1327
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,360
Speaker 3: a good chance of working. Oh and by the way,

1328
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 3: when you do play against Trey Hendrickson, your guys are

1329
01:14:55,240 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 3: going to be able to block him. If the thinking

1330
01:14:59,240 --> 01:15:01,479
Speaker 3: is suddenly I think this is more of how we

1331
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 3: as fans do this. If the thinking is suddenly, whoa

1332
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 3: whoa whoa whoa way so he could sack Joe Burrow,

1333
01:15:10,320 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 3: let's rethink this, then you didn't think this out that well.

1334
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:17,840
Speaker 3: You didn't really vet out this entire decision to not

1335
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 3: have him come back. So yeah, man, it sucked. Like

1336
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 3: there's no more semantically responsible way of putting it. We

1337
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 3: all would prefer if you're on board with just letting

1338
01:15:31,160 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Trey go. He plays at some outpost. Chances are he's

1339
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,680
Speaker 3: not going to sign with a very bad team. Why

1340
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 3: would a very bad team throw a bunch of money

1341
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:44,000
Speaker 3: at a thirty one year old edge rusher who had

1342
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 3: surgery at the end of the season, So he's probably

1343
01:15:46,439 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 3: gonna go to a team that's equipped to win, and

1344
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 3: you may play high stakes games against him. That possibility

1345
01:15:56,320 --> 01:15:59,800
Speaker 3: was already accounted for when you decided he wasn't a

1346
01:15:59,800 --> 01:16:04,639
Speaker 3: part to your plan for twenty twenty six. Five point three,

1347
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:08,640
Speaker 3: seven four nine, fifteen thirty is our phone number. I

1348
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 3: got into it with Mike there about Houston, like number one.

1349
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:17,320
Speaker 3: If the only standard of success is winning a national title,

1350
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:19,919
Speaker 3: do you know how many otherwise really good college basketball

1351
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 3: programs don't get any credit for anything. Gonzaga for the

1352
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 3: last quarter century plus doesn't matter. No Xavier basketball team

1353
01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:32,599
Speaker 3: ever matters, No UC team since nineteen sixty two matters.

1354
01:16:34,400 --> 01:16:36,639
Speaker 3: If I said right now you could have Houston's last

1355
01:16:36,680 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 3: seven years for your program, or whatever's behind door number two,

1356
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 3: you would not take whatever's behind door number two. It's

1357
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 3: what makes the NCAA tournament so awesome. It's what makes

1358
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 3: this sport so awesome. It's the hardest championship to win.

1359
01:16:53,280 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 3: I believe that more Southern college football. It's the hardest

1360
01:16:55,479 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 3: championship to win. So you could also celebrate some of

1361
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 3: the most revered teams in this city, not only didn't

1362
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:10,760
Speaker 3: win a national title, they never really came close. Identity

1363
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:13,400
Speaker 3: in college basketball is awesome. The most fun thing about

1364
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:15,599
Speaker 3: being a UC fan for a long time was your

1365
01:17:15,600 --> 01:17:19,720
Speaker 3: program had an identity. Some fitted more than others, but

1366
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:25,240
Speaker 3: your program always had an identity. And I'm jealous of

1367
01:17:25,280 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 3: the ones that do, and I think it's admirable when

1368
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:33,080
Speaker 3: you can have one. With the way college basketball works now,

1369
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 3: and Houston, I think has done that better than anybody else.

1370
01:17:37,800 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 3: Ten away from five o'clock, Cincinnati Reds get criticized for

1371
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 3: a lot of things, but there's one thing they've done

1372
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 3: really well that at the time I don't think they

1373
01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 3: got nearly enough credit for. I'm not sure they do

1374
01:17:50,760 --> 01:17:54,599

Speaker 3: very very early this morning. Eh didn't learn anything. I

1399
01:19:23,600 --> 01:19:26,120
Speaker 3: think John Elway is like, among a lot of fans,

1400
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:32,320

Speaker 3: I'm thrilled to do this because he's a cornerstone of

1421
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 3: our show during the Bengals season. Every Tuesday, he's for

1422
01:20:38,720 --> 01:20:40,840
Speaker 3: the second consecutive here. I think he has been crowned

1423
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:46,040
Speaker 3: King of Radio Row. He's with Summer Sports, which is

1424
01:20:46,200 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 3: an invaluable resource and one of the authors of these

1425
01:20:49,080 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 3: stats and scheme newsletter. Our guy Sean sayed, how many

1426
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 3: shows have you been on this week?

1427
01:20:55,439 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 11: No, look my voice, it's struggling a little bit. Be

1428
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,800
Speaker 11: a lot, but Ale'll talk about a lot of different things,

1429
01:21:00,880 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 11: of course, saving the best stuff for you as we

1430
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:05,439
Speaker 11: get towards the end of media week here.

1431
01:21:05,560 --> 01:21:07,479
Speaker 3: Beyond that, what is the best show you've been on

1432
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:07,920
Speaker 3: so far?

1433
01:21:10,040 --> 01:21:10,559
Speaker 2: Good question?

1434
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 3: I mean the Super Sport Show of course.

1435
01:21:13,080 --> 01:21:15,640
Speaker 11: Actually, it's been really fun to talk to you some

1436
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:17,599
Speaker 11: of the players, have them come on. I actually really

1437
01:21:17,640 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 11: like No, I'll tell you the Irish NFL show. Yes,

1438
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 11: a ton of fun. They were really well prepared. They

1439
01:21:23,040 --> 01:21:24,879
Speaker 11: asked some great questions. We had a really good conversation

1440
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 11: about some stuff.

1441
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 3: I've been lucky enough to be a guest on their show.

1442
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 3: I don't know why they asked, but those guys, as

1443
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 3: we say, no ball and I've watched them and I've

1444
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:38,559
Speaker 3: seen that they're at Radio Rows, so so good for them.

1445
01:21:38,920 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 3: What about let's talk about both these teams from a

1446
01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:43,920
Speaker 3: Bengals perspective, which you're kind enough to do with me

1447
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 3: every single week during the season. Let's start with New

1448
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 3: England Schematically, as a Bengals fan, what can I learn

1449
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:51,800
Speaker 3: from what the Patriots.

1450
01:21:51,320 --> 01:21:52,840
Speaker 2: Do to me?

1451
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 11: Their safeties I think are pretty flexible where they're playing

1452
01:21:56,080 --> 01:21:58,320
Speaker 11: a little bit, you know, Gallon Hill sometimes on these

1453
01:21:58,320 --> 01:22:00,559
Speaker 11: inbreaking routes. That's been a really good way to do it.

1454
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,400
Speaker 11: And I think they change things up overall just so

1455
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:06,280
Speaker 11: much like they are and they have a different approach

1456
01:22:06,360 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 11: to the seaufining. The pitchers are a little bit more aggressive.

1457
01:22:09,160 --> 01:22:10,960
Speaker 11: It feels like when you bring in that big money

1458
01:22:11,000 --> 01:22:13,680
Speaker 11: free agent, and I like Nolan Williams be able to

1459
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:15,840
Speaker 11: change some things for your defense. Even though no I

1460
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,920
Speaker 11: end up missing a bunch of the season as he

1461
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:20,160
Speaker 11: was injured, it still thinks like we are building this

1462
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:22,200
Speaker 11: thing really through that defensive line.

1463
01:22:22,920 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 3: Now from a Seattle perspective, now.

1464
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:28,640
Speaker 11: The Seahawk's perspective is kind of similar but also very

1465
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:32,320
Speaker 11: fun to where their defensive line less than it unlocks everything.

1466
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,719
Speaker 11: They're happy to just have four defensive linemen on the field.

1467
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,080
Speaker 3: They can stop the run that.

1468
01:22:36,040 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 11: Way, they can rush the passer that way, it just

1469
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 11: makes us feel like, all right, got to keep on

1470
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 11: drafting the defensive line. Mean, even though of course we're

1471
01:22:42,000 --> 01:22:43,960
Speaker 11: gonna have situations like the Angles have had in the

1472
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 11: past where not everything's gonna feel like it hit, it

1473
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:48,360
Speaker 11: just always feels like that's kind of a safe way

1474
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:49,559
Speaker 11: to start building your team.

1475
01:22:49,800 --> 01:22:54,240
Speaker 3: Can I run a couple of takes past, you'll fly though.

1476
01:22:54,320 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 3: Here's what I love most about the Patriots this season.

1477
01:22:57,560 --> 01:23:01,840
Speaker 3: All eleven of their draft choices wore a uniform. This year,

1478
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:07,080
Speaker 3: all eleven played. Mister irrelevant has played in a playoff game. Now,

1479
01:23:07,680 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 3: some of them less than others, But like you know,

1480
01:23:10,840 --> 01:23:12,679
Speaker 3: in a day and age where you've got to get

1481
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 3: instant return on your draft picks. We've talked a lot

1482
01:23:16,080 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 3: about the Bengals inability to get instant return from their

1483
01:23:19,439 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 3: draft choices. The Patriots have done that in spades. That's

1484
01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 3: Bengals won't have eleven picks next season. That's a goal.

1485
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,000
Speaker 3: And I know folks are gonna say, well, wait a minute,

1486
01:23:28,200 --> 01:23:30,920
Speaker 3: all the Bengals draft choices at some point played this year.

1487
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 3: All eleven Patriots picks played for a team that's in

1488
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,400
Speaker 3: the super Bowl. That's what I want next season.

1489
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,559
Speaker 11: It's such a good thing to have where look, we

1490
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:41,920
Speaker 11: know it's a salary cap league, right, so any sort

1491
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 11: of costen gold talent that you have, it makes things

1492
01:23:44,880 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 11: so much easier where it allows you to take some

1493
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 11: home run swings at different positions. So unfortunately, I mean,

1494
01:23:51,400 --> 01:23:53,400
Speaker 11: you know, some teams will built through free agency, but

1495
01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 11: you have to have to have to be able to

1496
01:23:55,520 --> 01:23:57,720
Speaker 11: find a way to build through the draft to get

1497
01:23:57,760 --> 01:24:00,599
Speaker 11: some of those starters. I keep thinking about the Bengals defense. Right,

1498
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 11: of course you'd like to continue to build along the

1499
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:05,680
Speaker 11: offensive line, but well, next year we've got to be

1500
01:24:05,720 --> 01:24:07,600
Speaker 11: able to talk about some of these battle drafticks that

1501
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 11: are starting on the defense's side of the wall.

1502
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna give you another one here, right

1503
01:24:11,320 --> 01:24:13,600
Speaker 3: with Seattle. I see a team that did something that

1504
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 3: in real time was difficult. Right, They were willing to

1505
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,879
Speaker 3: move on from Russell Wilson. That move is paid dividends

1506
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:20,840
Speaker 3: if you look at who they got for the picks

1507
01:24:20,840 --> 01:24:24,519
Speaker 3: they acquired from them, DK Metcalf moving on from him

1508
01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:27,439
Speaker 3: not quite apples to apples, but still difficult. New England

1509
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:30,960
Speaker 3: moves on from a coach who's like a franchise legend

1510
01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 3: after just one year because there's a better option available.

1511
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 3: Sometimes you got to do what's difficult. Sometimes you got

1512
01:24:36,600 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 3: to do what's unpopular. There are times, not all the time,

1513
01:24:39,880 --> 01:24:41,879
Speaker 3: but there are times where I've wanted about the Bengals

1514
01:24:41,880 --> 01:24:42,640
Speaker 3: willingness to do that.

1515
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 11: I mean, this whint is Zach Taylor wanted, like the

1516
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 11: most tenured head coaches in the entire NFL, I wish

1517
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,720
Speaker 11: is almost a wild thing to think about. But I

1518
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:55,479
Speaker 11: do agree with you where. Look, sometimes it's a different

1519
01:24:55,479 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 11: both see you need. Sometimes it's a game management type situation.

1520
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,840
Speaker 11: With Seattle, of course, like Nadal, it's a home run

1521
01:25:01,160 --> 01:25:02,880
Speaker 11: at the offensive coordinator spot that's.

1522
01:25:02,760 --> 01:25:03,559
Speaker 3: Going to be an important thing.

1523
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:05,280
Speaker 11: End with the Rabel as well, you have a guy

1524
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 11: who has that built in offensive coordinator where you probably

1525
01:25:08,400 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 11: feel like, hey, this guy's most likely not going to

1526
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:12,160
Speaker 11: go ahead and be found a head coach. So I

1527
01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 11: agree with you where a lot of times it is

1528
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 11: that tough decision, and it's scary because nine wins and

1529
01:25:17,160 --> 01:25:19,160
Speaker 11: being near the playoffs is a really nice thing I

1530
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:21,720
Speaker 11: feel consistent about. But sometimes you just got to break

1531
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 11: that bank.

1532
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,200
Speaker 9: You got to make that big decision and move on to.

1533
01:25:24,160 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 3: Your head coach. Are you ready for one more? Absolutely,

1534
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:29,680
Speaker 3: I wish I had a time machine. I wish I

1535
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:31,519
Speaker 3: had a time machine for a lot of different reasons,

1536
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:34,160
Speaker 3: but I wish I had a time machine because this

1537
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 3: time last year when I was screaming for the Bengals

1538
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 3: to sign Milton Williams, they didn't and they should have.

1539
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:42,400
Speaker 3: So if we go back in time they can It

1540
01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 3: would be nice.

1541
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:45,280
Speaker 11: You know, I think maybe we get that top machine.

1542
01:25:45,280 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 11: I'm sure, yes, there are some other things perhaps that

1543
01:25:47,200 --> 01:25:49,920
Speaker 11: we would both be interested in texting, but I do think, yes,

1544
01:25:50,040 --> 01:25:51,080
Speaker 11: like you are.

1545
01:25:51,200 --> 01:25:52,960
Speaker 3: It's a rare situation.

1546
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 11: Because and to be clear, Bil Williams, did you get

1547
01:25:55,080 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 11: He got injured this year, missed a bunch of time,

1548
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 11: but still in the playoffs he's able to really emerge

1549
01:25:59,640 --> 01:26:01,040
Speaker 11: and can and you to play the way that he

1550
01:26:01,120 --> 01:26:03,360
Speaker 11: did as a philo dumping evil. And it is a

1551
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 11: rare thing for a high level pass rushing type player

1552
01:26:07,280 --> 01:26:09,240
Speaker 11: to hit the open market. It is just too hard

1553
01:26:09,280 --> 01:26:11,759
Speaker 11: now these days, where teams are a little bit smarter.

1554
01:26:11,880 --> 01:26:15,240
Speaker 11: I think front office members understand, hey, we can't let

1555
01:26:15,280 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 11: these guys get frequency. We want to kind of sign

1556
01:26:17,200 --> 01:26:19,240
Speaker 11: that maybe a year early, maybe even two years early.

1557
01:26:19,479 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 11: At some times when you extend him, so it would

1558
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:23,880
Speaker 11: have been nice. No, certainly, and you gonna make your

1559
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:26,439
Speaker 11: linebackers like the easier. There's so many wonderful effects to

1560
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 11: when you have a high quality defensive line.

1561
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 3: Have our guys. Sean Side is with us from Suomer Sports.

Speaker 3: draft yet?

1566
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:42,519

1567
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 3: So I have not done.

1568
01:26:44,120 --> 01:26:46,920
Speaker 11: Will say sumer sports has our draft guide for this

1569
01:26:47,000 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 11: upcoming year. I believe it's already live on Summer Sports

1570
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 11: dot com, so it has all the advanced data for

1571
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 11: all of the top however many consensus big board picks.

1572
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:57,120
Speaker 11: It's going to be a real fun one where you're

1573
01:26:57,160 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 11: going to give a look at that information. I'm excited

1574
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:00,479
Speaker 11: how to follow that through with some of.

1575
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 3: The film this off season? Are you allowed to tell

1576
01:27:03,080 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 3: me who you think is going to win the game

1577
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 3: on Sunday?

1578
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1579
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:06,840
Speaker 3: I me up boring.

1580
01:27:06,880 --> 01:27:08,160
Speaker 11: I think it's going to be the Sea offfs I

1581
01:27:08,160 --> 01:27:09,360
Speaker 11: do you think it's apt to win the game at

1582
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 11: three points?

1583
01:27:09,840 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 8: Though?

1584
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 9: So, I feel like the Patriots are going.

1585
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 11: To be able to keep it close in a few

1586
01:27:13,560 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 11: different ways where I think the Patriots defensive line and

1587
01:27:16,400 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 11: create some issues for that center, that right guard for

1588
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 11: the seaoffs.

1589
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,520
Speaker 2: I could see it be a situation.

1590
01:27:21,240 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 11: Where, you know, even when you have a guy like

1591
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:25,559
Speaker 11: JSN who is really unguardable, I can see a little

1592
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:27,679
Speaker 11: bit of a defensive slug best going atster this game?

1593
01:27:28,880 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 3: Well said, how many more shows do you have to do?

1594
01:27:32,320 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 3: However many today? Tell me is that for many I've

1595
01:27:34,400 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 3: left it too. Wow. All right, the star of Radio Row.

1596
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 3: Who's the most famous person you've seen a Radio Row?

1597
01:27:41,800 --> 01:27:43,600
Speaker 11: Oh that's a good question, that see, I mean all

1598
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:47,320
Speaker 11: the players, those are big ones usually like on Friday

1599
01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 11: and like you start to see the guys like the

1600
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,240
Speaker 11: rock and then there's no movie starts kind to run

1601
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:52,120
Speaker 11: around of here as well.

1602
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, well there's no bigger star than you. And thank

1603
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 3: you for carving out some time for his suomer Sports

1604
01:27:57,920 --> 01:28:00,320
Speaker 3: dot Com check out sumer Live. You're the best man.

1605
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,439
Speaker 3: Thanks so much, Oh, thanks so much, appreciate you. That's

1606
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 3: our guy, Sean Saya, the star. I've said that Radio

1607
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 3: Row is the saddest place on Earth, and it is.

1608
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:16,680
Speaker 3: But Seansayaed who is awesome and we love having him

1609
01:28:16,720 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 3: on the show and brings a level of enthusiasm that

1610
01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 3: is unfortunately exceedingly rare. The fact that he has been

1611
01:28:25,600 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 3: the breakout star of radio Row and I look on

1612
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:31,120
Speaker 3: social media and he's doing different shows. We're gonna get

1613
01:28:31,120 --> 01:28:32,760
Speaker 3: to a point where he's too big for us, but

1614
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:36,320
Speaker 3: we're not there yet. Sumer sports dot Com Canada, sixth,

1615

Speaker 3: Italy two fifth end of this curling match, the day

1616
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:44,519
Speaker 3: before the actual opening ceremonies. By the way, I just

1617
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:49,920
Speaker 3: noticed this, So tonight is the NFL Honors. We get

1618
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 3: NFL Honors tonight, the big award show where all the

1619
01:28:52,520 --> 01:28:55,519
Speaker 3: big league awards are handed out. This was This was

1620
01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:57,880
Speaker 3: a night of anticipation last year because I don't think

1621
01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:59,840
Speaker 3: any of us thought Joe Burrow was going to be MVP,

1622
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 3: but he was at least a finalist. He did win

1623
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 3: for the second time the Comeback Player of the Year award,

1624
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,800
Speaker 3: and Trey Hendrickson was up for Defensive Player of the

1625
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:10,800
Speaker 3: Year and Jamar Chase was up for Offensive Player of

1626
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:15,599
Speaker 3: the Year and neither guy won, which is fine. Tonight though,

1627
01:29:15,800 --> 01:29:17,560
Speaker 3: we're gonna find out who the NFL Man of the

1628
01:29:17,640 --> 01:29:19,559
Speaker 3: Year is. Ted Carris up for that honor for a

1629
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:23,360
Speaker 3: second consecutive year. I maybe this is just me. I

1630
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:27,360
Speaker 3: don't think an award for character and service is the

1631
01:29:27,400 --> 01:29:31,479
Speaker 3: sort of thing that should be decided by hashtags or

1632
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:36,120
Speaker 3: a fan vote, but rooting like hell for Ted and

1633
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 3: then obviously we find out tonight who's gonna be in

1634
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 3: the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of twenty twenty six.

1635
01:29:43,720 --> 01:29:47,639
Speaker 3: I desperately want to be wrong about this. I'm gonna

1636
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 3: guess Ken Anderson doesn't get in. By the way history

1637
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 3: is on the side of that prediction, I feel like

1638
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:59,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be Roger Craig. And Roger Craig has a

1639
01:29:59,160 --> 01:30:01,240
Speaker 3: Hall of Fame resume. Nothing against him, man. I mean

1640
01:30:01,280 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 3: as watching the forty nine Ers as a kid, it

1641
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:09,120
Speaker 3: was Montana and Rice and Craig, and then obviously John

1642
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,000
Speaker 3: Taylor unfortunately because he scored the game winning touchdown, and

1643
01:30:12,080 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 3: later on Brent Jones. But it is like the big

1644
01:30:14,560 --> 01:30:19,280
Speaker 3: three was Montana, Rice and Craig. Roger Craig was a

1645
01:30:19,400 --> 01:30:25,479
Speaker 3: terrific player with somewhat of a short peak. You know,

1646
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,960
Speaker 3: one of those guys that was like Roger Craig's production

1647
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:33,240
Speaker 3: dipped quickly, but there was a time where I thought

1648
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:36,200
Speaker 3: he was already a Hall of Famer, So nothing against him,

1649
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:41,760
Speaker 3: but I fear that he's got the forty nine Ers

1650
01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:48,240
Speaker 3: machine behind him. Elsie Greenwood made benefit from something similar.

1651
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 3: Really really really really good players from historically great teams,

1652
01:30:52,600 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 3: I think sometimes are given a little bit more weight,

1653
01:30:56,040 --> 01:30:58,720
Speaker 3: or are considered a little bit more or there's just

1654
01:30:58,720 --> 01:31:04,439
Speaker 3: more of a preference toward them then from players who weren't. Plus,

1655
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,759
Speaker 3: the game is technically it's in Santa Clara, but it's

1656
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:12,000
Speaker 3: San Francisco is hosting the Super Bowls. Roger Craig mainly

1657
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,840
Speaker 3: played for the forty nine Ers, So we'll see about

1658
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 3: Ken Anderson. Obviously Willy Anderson. We're all holding out hope

1659
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,200
Speaker 3: that one day he gets to Canton. I just noticed this,

1660
01:31:22,800 --> 01:31:29,839
Speaker 3: he tweeted just before two thirty today. If you're holding

1661
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:35,599
Speaker 3: on to hope for good news tonight, and then he's

1662
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:43,200
Speaker 3: got the gift and the dude's name, it's off the

1663
01:31:43,200 --> 01:31:47,560
Speaker 3: top of my head, it's Jonah Hill. Thank you, Jonahill

1664
01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:50,519
Speaker 3: doing the throat slash like cut it out thing from

1665
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:51,920
Speaker 3: whatever award show that was.

1666
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:52,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1667
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:58,599
Speaker 3: Jonah Hill from super Bad and Moneyball, Willy Anderson, as

1668
01:31:58,640 --> 01:32:01,000
Speaker 3: he did last year, suggested that there's not going to

1669
01:32:01,040 --> 01:32:05,479
Speaker 3: be good news for him tonight, which stinks. We'll see,

1670
01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 3: but the NFL Honor Show is tonight, and you hate

1671
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 3: for the NFL because that show takes a back seat

1672
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 3: to the UC West Virginia game tonight at seven o'clock.

1673
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 3: All right, got some red stuff, good news and a

1674
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:19,759
Speaker 3: good job. I'll make it make sense next.

1679
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 5: Police and toe Cruz are on the scene of an

1680
01:32:41,560 --> 01:32:45,479
Speaker 5: accident on eastbound two seventy five after Taylor Mill Road,

1681
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:48,200
Speaker 5: a thirty minute to lay back from Dixie Highway. That's

1682
01:32:48,240 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 5: blocking off the left lane on Zor Road. There is

1683
01:32:51,439 --> 01:32:54,400
Speaker 5: an accident at Mounts Road right now. CRUs are directing

1684
01:32:54,479 --> 01:32:57,839
Speaker 5: traffic around that area. I'm at Ezelic with traffic.

1685
01:32:58,040 --> 01:33:01,320
Speaker 3: This report is ESPN F teen thirty. Moweger really do

1686
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:05,920
Speaker 3: appreciate you listening today. Five point three seven four nine

1687
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,439
Speaker 3: fifteen thirty is our number. There's a very good chance

1688
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:16,919
Speaker 3: you have not been following the arbitration case of Detroit

1689
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:19,719
Speaker 3: Tigers Starr and arguably the best pitcher in the game,

1690
01:33:20,280 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 3: UH Trek Scooble. So the Tigers went to arbitration with him,

1691
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:28,479
Speaker 3: the two time reigning American League Say Young Award winner.

1692
01:33:29,720 --> 01:33:32,280
Speaker 3: The Tigers went to arbitration with him, which is stupid,

1693
01:33:32,320 --> 01:33:35,600
Speaker 3: but they did that options available to him. Schooble won

1694
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 3: his arbitration case and he's now going to make thirty

1695
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:43,160
Speaker 3: two million dollars in twenty twenty six, a deal that

1696
01:33:43,200 --> 01:33:47,120
Speaker 3: will surpass Juan Soto. Is the largest arbitration salary in

1697
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:50,559
Speaker 3: MLB history. Previous high for a picture, I'm reading this

1698
01:33:50,600 --> 01:33:53,599
Speaker 3: from a spot track. The previous high for a picture

1699
01:33:53,680 --> 01:33:56,719
Speaker 3: was sho Hey Otani with the Angels in twenty twenty three. Obviously,

1700
01:33:56,760 --> 01:34:00,960
Speaker 3: show Hey did other things beyond pitching. And David Price

1701
01:34:01,080 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 3: with Detroit nineteen point seventy five million dollars in twenty fifteen.

1702
01:34:07,479 --> 01:34:11,720
Speaker 3: Just to apply some context, and Hunter Green is not

1703
01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:16,639
Speaker 3: Trek Scouble. Nobody is Hunter Green is the red staff Ace.

1704
01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:21,360
Speaker 3: Andrew Abbod provided very legitimate competition for that title last year.

1705
01:34:21,680 --> 01:34:23,519
Speaker 3: And look the idea is for there to be so

1706
01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:26,120
Speaker 3: many good pitchers that we can have fun discussions about

1707
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:30,639
Speaker 3: who the staff ace is. Hunter Green, when completely healthy,

1708
01:34:30,680 --> 01:34:32,679
Speaker 3: is still one of the very best pitchers in this sport.

1709
01:34:33,720 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 3: It would be awesome if he can get through a

1710
01:34:35,280 --> 01:34:39,080
Speaker 3: full season healthy. He couldn't last year. But Hunter Green

1711
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:44,679
Speaker 3: over the next three seasons will make combined forty million dollars,

1712
01:34:44,960 --> 01:34:46,559
Speaker 3: and then at the end of that season, which is

1713
01:34:46,600 --> 01:34:49,960
Speaker 3: twenty twenty eight, there's a club option for twenty twenty nine,

1714
01:34:51,360 --> 01:34:54,599
Speaker 3: but for the next three seasons, Hunter Green is going

1715
01:34:54,680 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 3: to earn combined forty million dollars. Trek Scuoble for this

1716
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,320
Speaker 3: season will make thirty two. Again, the two pitchers aren't

1717
01:35:02,320 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 3: the same. Paul Skenes had to see that news today

1718
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:11,040
Speaker 3: and go, hell yeah, But the Reds don't get credit

1719
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 3: for this to this day, and they should. Hunter signs

1720
01:35:14,080 --> 01:35:17,640
Speaker 3: that contract a few years ago, which locks in his

1721
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:21,280
Speaker 3: salary for all of his arbitration years and is what

1722
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:27,599
Speaker 3: would have been his first free agency season. It was smart,

1723
01:35:28,800 --> 01:35:34,360
Speaker 3: maybe stop short of brilliant, but still smart, proactive, the

1724
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 3: kind of thing that agents will advise against their clients signing,

1725
01:35:42,680 --> 01:35:44,960
Speaker 3: the kind of deal that no other Red has signed

1726
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:48,679
Speaker 3: since Hunter Green last season, which when he was healthy

1727
01:35:48,720 --> 01:35:51,639
Speaker 3: he was terrific. And again we're all waiting for him

1728
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,559
Speaker 3: to get through a full season healthy, but when he

1729
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 3: was healthy, he was awesome. Hunter Green this season will

1730
01:35:59,439 --> 01:36:03,040
Speaker 3: get a two million dollar a year raise. Last year

1731
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:05,679
Speaker 3: made six point three. This year, he'll make eight point three.

1732
01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:09,920
Speaker 3: Can you imagine what that number would have looked like

1733
01:36:12,240 --> 01:36:15,439
Speaker 3: had he not been already locked into a specific salary

1734
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 3: for twenty twenty six, Like sign your ace early. We've

1735
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:25,639
Speaker 3: discussed many reasons why the Reds should try to sign

1736
01:36:25,720 --> 01:36:29,040
Speaker 3: Ellie Teller Cruz, and there's many reasons why Ellie te

1737
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:32,120
Speaker 3: La Cruz is like, yeah, man, I am good. I

1738
01:36:32,200 --> 01:36:35,240
Speaker 3: might want to be Baseball's highest paid player. I probably

1739
01:36:35,280 --> 01:36:38,679
Speaker 3: really can't do that unless I hit free agency, But yeah,

1740
01:36:38,720 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 3: you want to get out in front of some of

1741
01:36:39,960 --> 01:36:42,360
Speaker 3: these things. Sometimes it's gonna blow up in your face.

1742
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 3: If you look at the Reds in the twenty tens,

1743
01:36:44,760 --> 01:36:47,519
Speaker 3: a lot of moves that are similar to this kind

1744
01:36:47,520 --> 01:36:52,519
Speaker 3: of blow up in their face. This one so far

1745
01:36:52,640 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 3: has not. This one so far looks really smart. I

1746
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,040
Speaker 3: haven't looked, but I referenced that a lot last year.

1747
01:36:58,120 --> 01:37:01,200
Speaker 3: Last season, Hunter Green was I think the eighty second

1748
01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:05,240
Speaker 3: highest paid starting pitcher in baseball. My guess is he's

1749
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 3: going to be somewhere in that range this season. It's

1750
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:10,080
Speaker 3: not that hard to look up to this day, I

1751
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 3: don't think the Reds have gotten proper credit for getting

1752
01:37:12,200 --> 01:37:16,720
Speaker 3: that done, And to this day, I'd be willing to

1753
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 3: bet that if Hunter has a bad start, you will

1754
01:37:19,640 --> 01:37:24,120
Speaker 3: hear folks talk about how the Reds overpaid him. Like

1755
01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:26,400
Speaker 3: I understand that when the deal first came out, the

1756
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 3: entire value of the contract, which I think was ninety

1757
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:32,639
Speaker 3: six million dollars, you know, that was a lot of money, right,

1758
01:37:32,680 --> 01:37:34,760
Speaker 3: and it, obviously in the real world, is a lot

1759
01:37:34,800 --> 01:37:36,760
Speaker 3: of money. But I think a lot of folks saw

1760
01:37:36,800 --> 01:37:40,560
Speaker 3: that and said bad contract. In reality, it's a great contract.

1761
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:42,720
Speaker 3: Sign your ace.

1762
01:37:44,400 --> 01:37:44,719
Speaker 2: Again.

1763
01:37:44,920 --> 01:37:49,280
Speaker 3: Trek Scoob was a once in a lifetime guy. Maybe

1764
01:37:49,320 --> 01:37:51,280
Speaker 3: your ace is never going to be as good as him,

1765
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:56,720
Speaker 3: But the going rate for an ACE only climbs. If

1766
01:37:56,760 --> 01:38:01,800
Speaker 3: you can lock into one early, all the better and

1767
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 3: all the more flexibility you'll enjoy. Moving forward, twenty six

1768
01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:10,519
Speaker 3: minutes after five o'clock, the Reds TV deal has been

1769
01:38:10,560 --> 01:38:11,960
Speaker 3: talked about a lot, but the Reds are going to

1770
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 3: get specifically for their TV deal. I haven't seen. I

1771
01:38:16,080 --> 01:38:18,320
Speaker 3: don't know that it's out there. It's been reported the

1772
01:38:18,360 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 3: Cardinals are going to take a big, like twenty million

1773
01:38:20,680 --> 01:38:23,120
Speaker 3: dollar haircut from their TV deal from last year to

1774
01:38:23,160 --> 01:38:25,599
Speaker 3: this year. We'll see what that means for the Reds.

1775
01:38:25,920 --> 01:38:28,640
Speaker 3: The TV deal uncertainty. I've hated what it's meant for

1776
01:38:28,680 --> 01:38:32,400
Speaker 3: the people who work to produce Reds games. Annie Sabo

1777
01:38:32,479 --> 01:38:34,120
Speaker 3: apparently is no longer going to be a part of

1778
01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:38,440
Speaker 3: Reds coverage, which stinks because Annie did a good job.

1779
01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:43,560
Speaker 3: But there's something about this that is great because I

1780
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:47,120
Speaker 3: think it gives you, as a Reds fan, a little

1781
01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:50,479
Speaker 3: bit more power over them, and maybe not that much,

1782
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,080
Speaker 3: but still a little bit more power over them. Historically,

1783
01:38:54,400 --> 01:38:58,720
Speaker 3: the loudest statement you can make in sports is not

1784
01:38:58,800 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 3: buying tickets. But by the way, there have been large

1785
01:39:01,160 --> 01:39:04,280
Speaker 3: stretches of time where people have stopped buying Reds tickets,

1786
01:39:04,320 --> 01:39:06,719
Speaker 3: and occasionally they'll hear that and go, uh oh, gotta

1787
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 3: do something else. They acquired yes THEELP week in a

1788
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 3: trade that brought them three other dudes. Because attendance bottomed

1789
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 3: out to a thirty four year low, in twenty eighteen.

1790
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:22,000
Speaker 3: But now, obviously if you have cable or an Ulti

1791
01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,519
Speaker 3: Fiber account that sort of thing, and you got the

1792
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:27,680
Speaker 3: FanDuel Sports Network, my understanding is you're not really going

1793
01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:30,120
Speaker 3: to have to do anything different. You'll still get Reds TV,

1794
01:39:31,160 --> 01:39:33,679
Speaker 3: But there would be a lot of people who get

1795
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,120
Speaker 3: Reds TV on a subscription that they pay a monthly

1796
01:39:36,160 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 3: fee for. I think it's going to be nineteen ninety nine.

1797
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 3: Maybe you buy the full season, but I think you're

1798
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 3: gonna have a lot of folks maybe you who you

1799
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:50,320
Speaker 3: buy the nineteen ninety nine subscription per month, and if

1800
01:39:50,360 --> 01:39:52,000
Speaker 3: we get to July and the teams out of it,

1801
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 3: guess what, ejeck button no more than nineteen ninety nine

1802
01:39:56,360 --> 01:40:00,360
Speaker 3: a month, or hey, I'm going to renew. I'm gonna

1803
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:04,400
Speaker 3: renew my subscription this offseason. But I need to see

1804
01:40:04,439 --> 01:40:07,040
Speaker 3: you do something. Need to see you try to win

1805
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:12,200
Speaker 3: like this is good. Now you're accountable to a different

1806
01:40:12,360 --> 01:40:16,040
Speaker 3: type of consumer, one that wants to watch your games.

1807
01:40:16,080 --> 01:40:18,360
Speaker 3: Some that will watch the games no matter what, but

1808
01:40:18,520 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 3: others maybe a little bit more discerning. Who go, Okay,

1809
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm already buying a bunch of subscriptions, do I really

1810
01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:26,320
Speaker 3: want to show out another twenty bucks for Reds games

1811
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:29,240
Speaker 3: when they're a thousand games out of first place. Like

1812
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:31,720
Speaker 3: there's a little bit more power in your hand right now.

1813
01:40:31,720 --> 01:40:34,680
Speaker 3: If you're a Reds fan and in an era where

1814
01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:37,679
Speaker 3: it feels like fans are more and more powerless, how

1815
01:40:37,720 --> 01:40:41,840
Speaker 3: could that be anything but good? What's not good are

1816
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:43,880

01:41:26,720 --> 01:41:29,719
Speaker 3: All right, we've talked a lot about coaches in NIL

1829
01:41:29,800 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 3: and crying about not having money. Calvin Samson, whose team

1830
01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:35,600
Speaker 3: is twenty and two is played in five Street sweet sixteens,

1831
01:41:35,960 --> 01:41:39,240
Speaker 3: whose team played for a national championship last year, the

1832
01:41:39,320 --> 01:41:41,760
Speaker 3: latest after his team wins by twenty four last night

1833
01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:45,519
Speaker 3: against a good UCF team, the latest coach to cry

1834
01:41:45,560 --> 01:41:48,120
Speaker 3: about being broke. Here it is.

1835
01:41:49,520 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 6: Now we participate in the NIO just like everybody else.

1836
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:58,439
Speaker 6: We know what our kids market value is. I mean,

1837
01:41:58,439 --> 01:42:03,839
Speaker 6: the trust not starving here are getting. We're getting exactly

1838
01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:10,040
Speaker 6: what the market is for them. But you know, uh,

1839
01:42:10,200 --> 01:42:12,360
Speaker 6: we have a very poor athletic department.

1840
01:42:12,560 --> 01:42:13,080
Speaker 2: We're poor.

1841
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:16,400
Speaker 6: You know, we're poor when I got here, and we're

1842
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,519
Speaker 6: still poor. We probably have the lowest budget of anybody

1843
01:42:19,520 --> 01:42:23,600
Speaker 6: in power for you know, and uh, you know, the

1844
01:42:23,640 --> 01:42:25,680
Speaker 6: way our recruiting is going, we have to stop at

1845
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 6: some point because we don't have enough money to keep

1846
01:42:27,920 --> 01:42:32,200
Speaker 6: bringing in really good players. And that's not easy for

1847
01:42:32,320 --> 01:42:37,680
Speaker 6: us to do. You people ask about recruiting, you know,

1848
01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,640
Speaker 6: teams that have the best recruiting classes usually have the

1849
01:42:41,680 --> 01:42:42,439
Speaker 6: most money.

1850
01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:44,040
Speaker 2: That's the way it is today.

1851
01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, like we we know, uh, you know, we signed

1852
01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:54,479
Speaker 6: uh I Kenna and arafon early. You know, a lot

1853
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,200
Speaker 6: of these kids we have will come back, but who

1854
01:42:57,280 --> 01:43:00,559
Speaker 6: knows what else will sign, pays how much money. Yeah,

1855
01:43:00,760 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 6: it's not about who do we want to sign, is

1856
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:07,920
Speaker 6: who can we afford to sign? And even even though

1857
01:43:07,920 --> 01:43:10,719
Speaker 6: we've been doing this inn il thing that it still

1858
01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:11,960
Speaker 6: feels funny for.

1859
01:43:11,880 --> 01:43:12,680
Speaker 2: Me to even say that.

1860
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:15,439
Speaker 6: It's like a culture shot that that's coming out of

1861
01:43:15,439 --> 01:43:19,280
Speaker 6: my mouth because for so many years it's illegal to

1862
01:43:19,360 --> 01:43:22,640
Speaker 6: do that, but is legal now. That's why they call

1863
01:43:22,680 --> 01:43:25,439
Speaker 6: it an il. Now it's legal.

1864
01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:29,120
Speaker 3: I think there's a couple of different things here. One,

1865
01:43:29,160 --> 01:43:31,880
Speaker 3: there's a search for a level playing field. I don't

1866
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,439
Speaker 3: know in my lifetime that we've ever had a level

1867
01:43:34,439 --> 01:43:37,840
Speaker 3: playing field in sports. Some schools have always been able

1868
01:43:37,840 --> 01:43:44,320
Speaker 3: to spend more on recruiting, on travel, on coaches, on marketing,

1869
01:43:45,320 --> 01:43:49,439
Speaker 3: on things that just enhance the program more than other schools.

1870
01:43:50,560 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 3: Like there are reasons why Ohio State is Ohio State.

1871
01:43:54,280 --> 01:43:56,080
Speaker 3: And that's not to say they haven't that great coaches,

1872
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,160
Speaker 3: great players, but they've had more at their disposal than

1873
01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:03,519
Speaker 3: or Miami or Bowling Green or Akron or anybody else

1874
01:44:03,560 --> 01:44:05,799
Speaker 3: in the state, much less pretty much anybody in the country.

1875
01:44:06,280 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 3: So whenever I hear coaches go on and on about

1876
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:13,920
Speaker 3: nil and the disparity. I wonder a hotcome coaches never

1877
01:44:13,960 --> 01:44:17,120
Speaker 3: talk about the pool of money out there for coaches

1878
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:19,840
Speaker 3: and how it needs to be spread evenly. Number two,

1879
01:44:20,240 --> 01:44:25,240
Speaker 3: like Kelvin Samson needs more dough. Houston will always be

1880
01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 3: at a disadvantage in some way, shape or form when

1881
01:44:28,560 --> 01:44:30,760
Speaker 3: compared to someone else, whether it's somebody in the Big

1882
01:44:30,800 --> 01:44:34,960
Speaker 3: twelve or another school in the state of Texas. But

1883
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 3: the other part of this is I love so much

1884
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:42,120
Speaker 3: about the NIL era. Certainly there should be more regulation,

1885
01:44:42,680 --> 01:44:47,360
Speaker 3: Certainly there should be things that rained things in a

1886
01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,599
Speaker 3: little bit here, But it's also now like a built

1887
01:44:50,640 --> 01:44:53,840
Speaker 3: in excuse, it's a built in crutch. If your team

1888
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:56,479
Speaker 3: is no good, it's not how you coach the team.

1889
01:44:56,840 --> 01:44:59,320
Speaker 3: It's not your decision to bring in the players you're coaching.

1890
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 3: It's not decisions you made on the bench. It's not

1891
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:08,000
Speaker 3: personnel decisions, it's not strategic decisions. It's not players underperforming

1892
01:45:08,080 --> 01:45:11,479
Speaker 3: relative to their expectation. It's simple, we need more money.

1893
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 3: We don't have enough. And now, if you're good and

1894
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:17,719
Speaker 3: Houston is twenty and two in the top ten, they've

1895
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:21,040
Speaker 3: been a Big twelve powerhouse since entering the league. They've

1896
01:45:21,040 --> 01:45:26,479
Speaker 3: been a sweet sixteen mainstay for six years now. It's

1897
01:45:26,479 --> 01:45:30,559
Speaker 3: an excuse even when you're winning, just in case there

1898
01:45:30,680 --> 01:45:33,800
Speaker 3: ends up being a dip in the winning. How's that

1899
01:45:33,880 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 3: good for anybody? How's that good for anybody? And it

1900
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 3: plants in everybody's head the thought that, well, it's not

1901
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:45,559
Speaker 3: the variables that a program or a coach can control.

1902
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:49,000
Speaker 3: If we lose, it's simply because we're not rich enough

1903
01:45:49,479 --> 01:45:53,559
Speaker 3: and the rules are slanted against us, which is exactly

1904
01:45:53,560 --> 01:45:55,920
Speaker 3: what we have in baseball. Let's try to win some

1905
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:56,920
Speaker 3: money on the Super Bowl.

1906
01:45:57,040 --> 01:46:02,200
Speaker 4: Next Cincinnati's esp' on fifteen thirty.

1907
01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:06,160

1911
01:46:15,920 --> 01:46:19,639
Speaker 5: blocked off from an accident on southbound seventy one seventy five.

1912
01:46:19,720 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 5: That's at two seventy five in erl Anger with a

1913
01:46:22,479 --> 01:46:26,479
Speaker 5: forty minute delay back from Kyle's lane. Also a disabled

1914
01:46:26,560 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 5: vehicle northbound seventy one after Red Bank, that one blocking

1915
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,120
Speaker 5: off the right lane. I'm at Ezelic with traffic.

1916
01:46:33,760 --> 01:46:35,559
Speaker 3: All right, let's make some money on the Super Bowl.

1917
01:46:35,640 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 3: Lee Stirling from Paramount sports dot com, who's on Twitter

1918
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 3: at Paramount Sports, is with US Seahawks four and a

1919
01:46:42,000 --> 01:46:44,320
Speaker 3: half point favorites. We'll get to the game itself here

1920
01:46:44,320 --> 01:46:47,080
Speaker 3: in a bit, but let's talk about some pure football

1921
01:46:47,120 --> 01:46:48,400
Speaker 3: prompts for the game on Sunday.

1922
01:46:49,200 --> 01:46:53,760
Speaker 2: So most people love to play who's going to score

1923
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,160
Speaker 2: the first touchdown? It is so random that if you're

1924
01:46:57,200 --> 01:47:01,639
Speaker 2: wagering on this with serious money, probably not the way

1925
01:47:01,680 --> 01:47:06,400
Speaker 2: to go here. So I would rather take a player

1926
01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 2: who I think will score during the game, And I

1927
01:47:09,760 --> 01:47:12,559
Speaker 2: think the best guy is probably someone like Kenneth Walker,

1928
01:47:12,720 --> 01:47:16,599
Speaker 2: the third running back for Seattle. Anytime touchdown minus one twenty,

1929
01:47:17,000 --> 01:47:18,120
Speaker 2: take a shot on him.

1930
01:47:18,600 --> 01:47:22,160
Speaker 7: You know, if you got twenty twenty five people at.

1931
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:23,519
Speaker 2: The party you're going to and you want to just

1932
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:25,719
Speaker 2: put names in a hat, then you can do first

1933
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:29,719
Speaker 2: time at a time touchdown. That would be fun that way.

1934
01:47:29,880 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 2: A couple others. There's a couple of receivers. I'm looking

1935
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 2: at Cooper cup Wide receiver for Seattle over two and

1936
01:47:36,240 --> 01:47:39,240
Speaker 2: a half receptions. The Patriots love to use a lot

1937
01:47:39,320 --> 01:47:42,960
Speaker 2: of zone defense. He's really good at reading zone defenses

1938
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:47,320
Speaker 2: and knowing where to go, what seem when to sit

1939
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,519
Speaker 2: down in these zone defenses, and they're starting to use

1940
01:47:50,560 --> 01:47:53,120
Speaker 2: some words. I'll take Cooper cup over two and a

1941
01:47:53,160 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 2: half receptions. Two receivers. I like either going four or

1942
01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 2: against them for the New England Patriots Collins so he's

1943
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:04,720
Speaker 2: only gonna catch probably two or three passes, but when

1944
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:08,479
Speaker 2: they do, you're not going to see many flanker screens

1945
01:48:08,479 --> 01:48:10,639
Speaker 2: from him. They use him to go down the field.

1946
01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:15,000
Speaker 2: He's six four two twenty physical long arms. They have

1947
01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:18,839
Speaker 2: him as over fifteen and a half yards longest reception.

1948
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:23,160
Speaker 2: I love that. I'll go over there and Stefan Diggs.

1949
01:48:24,320 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 2: Four and a half receptions is his number, and it's

1950
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:29,320
Speaker 2: probably because he's caught four and five balls the last

1951
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:31,920
Speaker 2: two games. But I think he's lost a step and

1952
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:34,799
Speaker 2: he's going to face a lot of Manda Man coverage.

1953
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 2: So I'll go under four and a half receptions here

1954
01:48:37,880 --> 01:48:38,840
Speaker 2: for Stefan Diggs.

1955
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:41,960
Speaker 3: All right, Lee Sterling is with us from Paramount sports

1956
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,800
Speaker 3: dot com. Are there any props outside of the game

1957
01:48:44,840 --> 01:48:45,880
Speaker 3: itself you want to give me?

1958
01:48:47,320 --> 01:48:49,760
Speaker 2: So I don't do the gatorade or anything like that.

1959
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:53,360
Speaker 2: Most of those will come out this afternoon, tonight or

1960
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:56,559
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning. We'll study those more. Now, as you know,

1961
01:48:56,640 --> 01:48:59,400
Speaker 2: we love the national anthem, yes, and maybe this year

1962
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:03,000
Speaker 2: more than most years. The first nine times my daughter

1963
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:06,800
Speaker 2: did it pretty easy. The last two years have been tough.

1964
01:49:06,880 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 2: The last two years ago we've been MacIntyre. My daughter

1965
01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 2: had the under, It wouldn't have hit the under, but

1966
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,360
Speaker 2: she decided to sing the last line home with a

1967
01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 2: braave twice right. And so what happened was most books

1968
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:26,240
Speaker 2: paid it both ways. They figured, hey, we're gonna, we're gonna.

1969
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:29,439
Speaker 2: Most don't allow more than five hundred dollars to be

1970
01:49:29,479 --> 01:49:32,439
Speaker 2: what bet on that wager, so it's a good will gesture.

1971
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 2: They paid both sides. Last year she liked the under,

1972
01:49:35,800 --> 01:49:38,360
Speaker 2: didn't love it. She said it's gonna be tight. Boy

1973
01:49:38,600 --> 01:49:41,080
Speaker 2: was it tight. Came in by anywhere from a half

1974
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:44,880
Speaker 2: a second to a second. So she's right now we'll

1975
01:49:44,920 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 2: call it a ten oh in one. So this year,

1976
01:49:48,080 --> 01:49:50,920
Speaker 2: Charlie Pout is going to be singing the national anthem.

1977
01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 2: He's never sung it before. Never, there's no video, no

1978
01:49:56,520 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 2: sporting event he has ever sung it. So you're saying, well,

1979
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:03,080
Speaker 2: how can handicap him singing over under a minute in

1980
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,960
Speaker 2: fifty nine and a half seconds. Well, he actually did

1981
01:50:06,000 --> 01:50:09,719
Speaker 2: an interview my daughter found with Ryan Seacrest a little

1982
01:50:09,760 --> 01:50:12,960
Speaker 2: over two weeks ago. He said he takes it really seriously,

1983
01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:16,680
Speaker 2: said that the other New Jersey native that did it

1984
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:21,200
Speaker 2: with him has done the national anthem, Whitney Houston is

1985
01:50:21,240 --> 01:50:23,360
Speaker 2: the gold standard. No one will touch that. But he

1986
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:26,320
Speaker 2: said he's going to do it differently, and he he's

1987
01:50:26,360 --> 01:50:30,479
Speaker 2: a composer also, and he said he's going to do

1988
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:35,760
Speaker 2: it with a choir and an orchestra. So I have

1989
01:50:35,880 --> 01:50:38,200
Speaker 2: a feeling and she does too, that it's going to

1990
01:50:38,280 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 2: play out a little longer than normal. So it sits

1991
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,519
Speaker 2: right nowt a minute in fifty nine and a half seconds.

1992
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,360
Speaker 2: She likes the over a lot on that.

1993
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:52,560
Speaker 3: All right, very good. The track record is unimpeccable or unimpeachable,

1994
01:50:52,640 --> 01:50:56,640
Speaker 3: so you can't argue with your daughter. Game itself, Seattle.

1995
01:50:56,640 --> 01:50:58,799
Speaker 3: The line has held study at four and a half

1996
01:50:58,880 --> 01:51:01,720
Speaker 3: since it came out late or we should go this

1997
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:05,640
Speaker 3: past Sunday posted total forty five and a half. Do

1998
01:51:05,720 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 3: you feel strongly either way about one or the other.

1999
01:51:09,479 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: I actually liked the game now the last seven years,

2000
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,719
Speaker 2: a team least seven tries a team has been favored

2001
01:51:14,720 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 2: by four more points oh to seven against the spread.

2002
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:20,120
Speaker 2: The last time a favorite it's covered by more than

2003
01:51:20,160 --> 01:51:23,160
Speaker 2: four points was going back to Peyton Manning in the

2004
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:27,800
Speaker 2: Indianapolis culture of the Chicago Bears. I feel that New

2005
01:51:27,840 --> 01:51:31,160
Speaker 2: England's not quite there yet. I think by being able

2006
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 2: to play Denver in the AFC Championship was to their

2007
01:51:36,840 --> 01:51:41,320
Speaker 2: supreme advantage and could have lost that game. If they

2008
01:51:41,360 --> 01:51:43,799
Speaker 2: would have gone down ten to nothing might have been different.

2009
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 2: But Sean Payton decided to go for a fourth and

2010
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:49,040
Speaker 2: one early in the first late in the first quarter,

2011
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:53,360
Speaker 2: and they never were able to mount anything after that point,

2012
01:51:53,439 --> 01:51:57,240
Speaker 2: lost ten to seven. I think that something's wrong with

2013
01:51:57,400 --> 01:52:00,960
Speaker 2: Drake May's shoulder. He's thrown eight sections in the last

2014
01:52:00,960 --> 01:52:05,879
Speaker 2: thirteen games. Also, it's about explosive plays in the NFL,

2015
01:52:06,520 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 2: and right now Romande Stevenson is fine, he's playing well,

2016
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:13,800
Speaker 2: but he's due to fumble. I would if I was them,

2017
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:19,640
Speaker 2: I would probably look to maybe move more into Henderson

2018
01:52:19,800 --> 01:52:22,200
Speaker 2: into the lineup. He has I think three or four

2019
01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:25,800
Speaker 2: runs of more than fifty yards for touchdowns. But let's

2020
01:52:26,280 --> 01:52:28,519
Speaker 2: Stevenson fumbles. That's it doesn't look like it's going to

2021
01:52:28,600 --> 01:52:32,160
Speaker 2: be the case. So I think that Seattle's legion of

2022
01:52:32,160 --> 01:52:36,160
Speaker 2: boom defenses is right there. They probably forced a fumble

2023
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:40,040
Speaker 2: in an interception. I think Sam Darnold has finally figured

2024
01:52:40,080 --> 01:52:42,640
Speaker 2: it out. I'm gonna take Seattle lay the four and

2025
01:52:42,680 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 2: a half. I have'm winning twenty seven to sixteen.

2026
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 3: Great minds think a likely. We've been on the same
