00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: is gonna check in with reaction in about nine minutes.

48
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: Let me give you the setup to this, maybe an

49
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: appetizer for our conversation. Here's about a two minute we'll

50
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: call it the two minute drill. But Duke Tobin part

51
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: of his opening comments today here is Duke.

52
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 6: It goes without saying, this season is not what we expect,

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 6: certainly not what we will accept. And everybody here knows

54
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 6: that it was frustrating, it was challenging, it was disappointing

55
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 6: for all of us, but more importantly, it was all

56
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 6: those things for our fans. We feel that that weighs

57
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 6: on us. It hurts us because we know that they

58
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 6: have high expectations for us. We embrace those high expectations.

59
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 6: Believe me, we have high expectations for this football team

60
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,920
Speaker 6: as well. We didn't meet those expectations. The group we

61
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 6: put out there did not fulfill those expectations.

62
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: So it motivates us.

63
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 6: It really motivates us to be better, to put a

64
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 6: group out there that will make the city proud, that

65
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 6: will finish games. We have a lot of work to

66
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 6: do this offseason. We are aware of that. We're motivated

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 6: for it, we're excited about it. We have a football

68
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 6: team that has some challenges that we've got to solve,

69
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 6: But beyond that, we have a football team that has

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 6: a lot of positives to build on and a lot

71
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 6: of things we're proud of and a lot of reasons

72
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 6: for optimism. So those are things that we're excited about.

73
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 6: We just have to this offseason. It's going to be

74
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,559
Speaker 6: all about the who's doing it, the what they're doing,

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 6: and how they're doing it. That's the focus. I really

76
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 6: believe in the group that we have here. I've been

77
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 6: here a long time. I don't take this job lightly.

78
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 6: I don't take it for granted. It's the only job

79
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 6: I've wanted. It's what I've chosen to do with my life.

80
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,279
Speaker 6: This team is part of my fabric I wake up

81
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 6: with the singular focus of how to make this team better.

82
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 7: It's what I do.

83
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 6: It's a part of who I am in the city

84
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 6: that is my home. It hurts when we're not representing

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 6: the city the way that we need to. I think

86
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: we're capable of it. I'm confident. I think there's great

87
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 6: days ahead for our football team. There's a lot of

88
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 6: work to do. We're motivated to do it, We're excited

89
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 6: to be here.

90
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 7: To do it.

91
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: Duke Tobin earlier today opening comments, I saved you having

92
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 2: to listen to him. Patty's players on the back for

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: the energy in which they played with and how engaged

94
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: they were once they were eliminated from the playoffs, which

95
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: I just I simply do not understand how that has

96
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: become a go to for so many coaches, managers, and

97
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: executives in this city, applauding their players for playing hard.

98
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: The only time the effort should be mentioned is when

99
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: it's lacking. I just don't get it. It's just the

100
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 2: start of getting me fired up tonight. Up next Trags

101
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: checks in, I'll ask him what he made of today,

102
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 2: the things that stuck out in his mind, and then

103
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: I'll get your reaction around the corner. Hey, thanks for

104
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 2: being here. The weekend is here. We made it to

105
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: have some fun. It's RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by

106

108

Speaker 2: Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet. Very excited to welcome in.

109
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 2: My first guest covers the Bengals for CLNS. See with

110
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 2: they dot com, host of the Jungle Roar podcast on YouTube.

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,240
Speaker 2: He's already dropped today's latest episode. It's an excellent listen.

112
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 2: That would be the man we call Trags. Mike Petrolia. Mike,

113
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 2: you were there. Let's start broad and then we'll narrow

114
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: it down. Give us your general reaction to the sixty

115
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,159
Speaker 2: three minutes or so with Duke Tobin.

116
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 8: Wow, that's a loaded question, Lamb. Well, I guess my

117
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 8: general reaction is good on the Bengals to make him available.

118
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,679
Speaker 8: It was a very performative and perfunctory press conference.

119
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: What do I mean by that?

120
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 7: I think it was there.

121
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 8: I think it was held so that Duke Tobin could

122
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 8: show his faith on behalf of the front office and

123
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 8: ownership and give their perspective on what happened this past year.

124
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 8: It was also a pr ploy and an intelligent pr

125
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 8: ploy to offer some sympathy to the incredibly frustrated fan base.

126
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 8: That is why you heard Duke Tobin say multiple times

127
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 8: that they are disheartened by Bengal fans being disheartened and

128
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 8: that they are all about trying to change the narrative

129
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 8: by dedicating themselves to improving the roster this offseason. But

130
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 8: when it comes to the nuts and bolts, the x's

131
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 8: and o's of how they're going to go about it,

132
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 8: the people making those decisions aren't going to change. You're

133
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 8: not going to have any additions to the scouting department,

134
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 8: You're not going to have any additions to the Pro

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 8: Football operations staff, the one that does the evaluations in

136
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 8: free agency, for instance, Duke Tobin is not going to

137
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 8: hire an assistant or two to help him evaluate talent.

138
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: Going to do that.

139
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 8: And what I was left with is feeling like, well,

140
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 8: they're just going to run it back with the same people.

141
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 8: And at the very end of the sixty three minutes,

142
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 8: we got an insight to what he meant by that,

143
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 8: and that is that the technique of what they do.

144
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 8: This offseason is going to be a little bit different,

145
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 8: meaning the personnel and the scouting department are going to

146
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,320
Speaker 8: try and tweak what they do. The coaching staff is

147
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:37,959
Speaker 8: going to come back with different schemes, and there's going

148
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 8: to be a little bit of emphasis on the players

149
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 8: to do their jobs better. That's what I was left

150
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 8: with in tragues.

151
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 2: When it comes to why we should believe they can

152
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 2: fix this, the go to answer seems to be because

153
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: we've done it before, and I think that weaves a

154
00:08:55,400 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: lot of fans shaking their hands. Well, year's why it does.

155
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 8: What happened in nineteen eighty one, what happened in nineteen

156
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 8: eighty eight? What has happened so far after twenty twenty one?

157
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 8: All three of those years that I just mentioned, of

158
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 8: course were Super Bowl years. Well, within three years the

159
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 8: team was headed down the slide to oblivion. Now in

160
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,680
Speaker 8: eighty eight they made it back after seven years and fine,

161
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 8: But in three more years after eighty eight, what happened?

162
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 8: They went into the dark, dark ages of Bengal football

163
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 8: and they've been to the playoffs lance twice in ten years.

164
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 8: Skinny on my podcast also mentioned that, and he was

165
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 8: the one who asked Duke today, Well, you've been to

166
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 8: the playoffs just twice in ten years. Why should any

167
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 8: fan believe that you're capable of turning things around you

168
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 8: and your staff? And Duke again came back with the answer,

169
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 8: We've done it before. I believe in the p people

170
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,599
Speaker 8: we have in the building. Well, you may believe in

171
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 8: the people you have in your building, but your fan

172
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 8: base doesn't and the results aren't there. And he mentioned

173
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 8: many times today Lance that the effort and the dedication

174
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 8: of the coaching staff and the young players is exceptional. Well,

175
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 8: that's great, and you see improvement in the young players terrific.

176
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 8: Where's the production and the NFL, as is any major

177
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 8: league sport, professional sport, it's all about production, and the

178
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 8: Bengals production the last three years has been very poor.

179
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 8: Last year they had a winning record, but they were

180
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 8: nine and eight, Lance, they were four and eight with

181
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow starting all twelve of those games, and of

182
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 8: course he started all seventeen. There's a serious fundamental flaw

183
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 8: in the players that are being put around Joe Burrow,

184
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 8: certainly on the defensive side of the ball.

185
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: And you alluded to the scale outing aspect of all

186
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: this and he really doubled down on the fact that

187
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: despite we all know how small the department is, his

188
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: belief that they have all the information they need.

189
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 8: They believe that they would rather have fewer voices contributing

190
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 8: to the pie, if you will, fewer chefs making the meal,

191
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 8: because too many chefs ruin the meal. And they have

192
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,560
Speaker 8: believed that for forty forty five years, Lance, and it's

193
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 8: not going to change now it is.

194
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: I get still worked up over this. I got to

195
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 2: take a breath. He also mentioned finishing in the big

196
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 2: aspect of being not able to finish games, and yet

197
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: is he what's frustrating to me trags? While he pointed

198
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: out the troubles finishing this year, they had troubles finishing

199
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 2: last year and it wasn't fixed.

200
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 8: So it just that's not a costumeist land comment. It's

201
00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 8: a land Yes, what is the natural logic deduction you

202
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 8: take from that? Well, if you can't finish games, it's coaching.

203
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 8: So I interrupted Duke, and I said, well, Duke, you

204
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 8: know what that means. It means that falls at the

205
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 8: feet of Zach and his coaching staff. What do you

206
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 8: think of them? And then he went into this flowery

207
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 8: commendation and praise of Zach Taylor, and I agree, having

208
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 8: covered Zach Taylor now for five full seasons, he's one

209
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 8: of the brightest football people I have ever been around.

210
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 7: But that doesn't mean.

211
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:35,800
Speaker 8: Necessarily he's a good head coach and a situational coach,

212
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 8: especially at the end of games. What did Duke point

213
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,440
Speaker 8: out this afternoon, specifically, we have losing DNA at the

214
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 8: end of games. Players make too many mistakes. They don't

215
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 8: wrap up on tackles like Jordan Battle at the end

216
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 8: of the Bears game. He pointed that game out specifically today,

217
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 8: which really means to me that game stuck in his crawl.

218
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 8: And you know, as much as the Browns game was

219
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 8: a microcosm of the season, that Bears game ticked everybody

220
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 8: off in the organization. And I'm sorry, but you've got

221
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 8: to have better coaching to teach the technique. Jordan Battle

222
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 8: is not a rookie and he, as much as Duke

223
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,960
Speaker 8: Tobin pointed him out as perhaps one of the cornerstones

224
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 8: of the defense going forward, You've got to be much

225
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 8: much better if you're.

226
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: Jordan Battle going forward.

227
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 8: And I think it's up to the coaching staff to

228
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 8: take a long, hard look at how they're going to

229
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 8: get Jordan Battle to be more productive, because right.

230
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: Now I don't think I see it drags. It seems

231
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 2: pretty clear based on what he said and how many

232
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 2: times he referenced it. An emphasis will be on improving,

233
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: upgrading that defensive line and pressure on the quarterback.

234
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 8: Yep, he's all about pressure in the quarterback. He said

235
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 8: that a couple of times this afternoon. Lance that you

236
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 8: got to get after the quarterback. And rebuilding the defense

237
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 8: to Duke Tobin means rebuilding along the defensive line. And

238
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 8: he mentioned by name in twenty twenty one and in

239
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 8: twenty twenty DJ Reader and Larry Ogin Jobi, and he

240
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,320
Speaker 8: needs to go back to the drawing now. DJ Reader

241
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 8: is a free agent this year, but he's not the

242
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 8: same player he was five years ago. Let's not get

243
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 8: too far ahead of ourselves. But Duke Tobin and his

244
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 8: personnel staff have to go out in free agency, spend

245
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 8: the limit and find those players that they sailed to.

246
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 7: Find last year.

247
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: Sixty three minutes, approximately forty seven questions asked you are

248
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 2: the president of the Cincinnati chapter of the Pro Football Writers'

249
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: Association of America. Were you happy with the execution of

250
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: the group today. I thought it was an impressive performance.

251
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 9: I was.

252
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 8: I mean, that's a lot of questions to be asked,

253
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 8: and it is a logistical challenge, to say the least,

254
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 8: to give the Beet people their proper opportunities to ask questions. Myself,

255
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 8: Paul Danner, Junior, Richard Skinner, James Rapine, Kelsey Conway, who

256
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 8: did a fabulous job today, had three questions actually typed

257
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 8: up so that when she had her opportunity, she got

258
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 8: all three questions in. But also it was an opportunity,

259
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 8: as I said, this was performative for TV folks to

260
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 8: get all their questions in, and I thought, given how lumbering.

261
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 9: Environment this is.

262
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 10: I think it was.

263
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 8: I think it was held pretty well. And here's what

264
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 8: I was happy about. It never got to the point

265
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 8: where somebody was show voting and trying to show up Duke,

266
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 8: because what I was concerned about going in is there's

267
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 8: a lot of raw emotion from the fan base and

268
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 8: a lot of reporters got questions like for comments and dms,

269
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 8: we're counting on you, We're counting on you, And yes,

270
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 8: we definitely felt the obligation to ask the questions that

271
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 8: needed to be asked for the fans, but you have

272
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,880
Speaker 8: to do it in a manner where it's respectful to

273
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 8: Duke Tobin, and I thought it was.

274
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 7: I thought it came off.

275
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 2: Very well in that regards.

276
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 7: And one more thing, one more.

277
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 8: Thing, good on Duke Tobin to take time out at

278
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 8: the very beginning to you know, send out sympathy to

279
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 8: Jay Morrison, who I think we all know now has

280
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 8: been through hell and he lost his wife obviously, Nikki.

281
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 8: And for Duke Tobin to you know, start the press conference,

282
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 8: I actually think it was good because kind of kept

283
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 8: everything in perspective.

284
00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: So good on Duke.

285
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 7: For doing that.

286
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: Treggs, You've had a busy day and you were all

00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 2: about this update college basketball? My goodness, Miami the RedHawks

315
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,080
Speaker 2: on the road tonight against Toledo. There's two minutes left

316
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 2: in the first half. Miami has dropped fifty one on Toledo.

317
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: Toledo entered unbeaten in the mac Miami is leading fifty

318
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: one thirty three two minutes to go in the first half,

319
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: the RedHawks trying to get to seventeen and oh on

320
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: the season. More on the Kelsey Chevrolet College Basketball Weekend preview.

321
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,640
Speaker 2: In a bit my Twitter question at Lance Pacalister after

322
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 2: Duke's news conference today was were you satisfied with what

323
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: you heard from Duke Tobin right now? That is running

324
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:04,919
Speaker 2: eighty one percent to eleven percent? Eighty one percent saying no,

325
00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: eleven percent saying yes, What say you? Here's what I say,

326
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 2: Try to decide what order to do it and how

327
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,919
Speaker 2: not to lose my mind or to have my pacemaker fire.

328
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 2: I just find it incredible how much this organization leans

329
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 2: into because they've done it before as the reason why

330
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 2: something will get fixed this time. Why do we why

331
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: should we believe it can get fixed because we've done

332
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: it before. Boy, if I had a dollar for every

333
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: time Zach referenced twenty twenty one and twenty twenty two

334
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 2: and back to back. Well, this, as far as I know,

335
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 2: is twenty twenty six. And what I don't get is

336
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: defaulting to because we've done it before and skipping right

337
00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: past the fact they didn't do it this year or

338
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 2: last year or the year before, and skipping right past

339
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: the fact they haven't done it in eight of the

340
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:14,239
Speaker 2: last ten years. Who stands on the principle and the

341
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 2: talking point of it'll get fixed because we've done it before,

342
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: when it hasn't been done three years in a row

343
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 2: at eight of ten Zach's One of Zach's favorite lines

344
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:33,080
Speaker 2: is because we're and we're all accountable for this. Hell,

345
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: who's accountable? Duke's coming back, Zach's coming back, the assistants

346
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 2: are coming back. So how's it gonna get better? Well,

347
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: we've done it before, but through osmosis. I don't even

348
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: know what to say to that anymore. We're all accountable,

349
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 2: says Zach. Show me who's been accountable for anything? And

350
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: Duke said today, Well, reason to believe it'll get fixed

351
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:07,159
Speaker 2: is because we've done it before. Well, what year do

352
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 2: you think you might be able to get it fixed?

353
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 2: Because for three straight years you've tried and haven't gotten

354
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 2: it fixed. Because we've done it before isn't a logical answer.

355
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: It's just an arrogant answer, and it just kills me.

356
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna pass out. It's only

357
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 2: six forty three. Let me get you to what Duke

358
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: said today about scouting, because that was certainly near the

359
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 2: top of everybody's list, talking about scouting and the state

360
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 2: of the scouting department smallest in the league, and how

361
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: he feels about the scouting department. Here's Duke talking about

362
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: his scouting department earlier today.

363
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 6: Our scouting staff, in my opinion, is it is the

364
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 6: size that it is because I think the collaboration is.

365
00:21:58,359 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 2: Better at that size.

366
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 6: We have never lacked for information on a player. There's

367
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 6: never been a player selected that we didn't know anything about.

368
00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 6: There's never been a player selected that we didn't have

369
00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:15,479
Speaker 6: multiple reports at large background on. It's not about the

370
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,120
Speaker 6: volume of information we have. If we make a mistake,

371
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 6: it's because at the decision point we made the wrong decision.

372
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 6: But it wasn't because we didn't have information on the player.

373
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 6: We have information, and we have plenty of opinion on

374
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 6: the player, you know, and we've.

375
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 2: Made a lot of good picks.

376
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 6: I get that people are don't believe we've made any

377
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 6: good picks. We've made a lot of good picks on

378
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 6: our current roster, on past rosters, and there will be

379
00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 6: more on future rosters. I really believe that.

380
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 2: I'm going to pass out. So your follow up is

381
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: the obvious follow up. Wait a minute, what did you

382
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: just say? And that was the exact follow up. He

383
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: got to listen to this.

384
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 8: Just to clarify from earlier, there is no plan as

385
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 8: of right now to expand the scouting department this offseason.

386
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 2: Is that correct?

387
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 6: This offseason? No, We're right into it right now. There's

388
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 6: a lot of work that's been done. Our guys are great.

389
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 6: We have fantastic scouts. They work in every area. They

390
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 6: are well known around college football, around pro football, and

391
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 6: they give us what we need.

392
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 2: I'm already exhausted. Imagine saying you have all the information

393
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: that is out there and that's needed when it comes

394
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 2: to the draft. When you have the smallest scouting department

395
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: in the NFL, about a third of the average size

396
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: compared to the rest of the league, more eyeballs on

397
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: players offers a more rounded view of players, allowing for

398
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: cross checking of players, allowing UH to see them on

399
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: good days and bad days. It's just that stuff is

400
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: just imagine thinking you are so smart that you can

401
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,440
Speaker 2: scout and evaluate players with one third the size of

402
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: the scouting department of the NFL average. That's what they

403
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 2: are saying. We have all the information we need, despite

404
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 2: the fact the league average is much high, and despite

405
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 2: the fact we have the smallest scouting department, we have

406
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 2: all the information we need. Imagine the level of arrogance

407
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 2: it takes to believe you can operate that way at

408
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 2: one third the size of everybody else. Oh, we have

409
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 2: great guys in that scouting department, he said, yeah, Well,

410
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: could you point out the ones who who scouted and

411
00:24:54,040 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 2: recommended Jermaine Burton? Could we could we bring up to

412
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:08,679
Speaker 2: the front the evaluators of Jackson Carmen, my daughter who's

413
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:12,879
Speaker 2: twenty three, who runs a couple of Fantasy Football League teams.

414
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: My daughter could have selected Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase.

415
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 2: This team is in the position they are in because

416
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: they don't draft well enough. And it is just the

417
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: height of arrogance to believe that the smallest scouting department

418
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 2: has all the bases covered, all the information they need. Well,

419
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 2: if that's the case, why would all the other teams

420
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 2: have so many more scouts? Are are they the dumb ones?

421
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 11: Me?

422
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 2: Why would teams have so many more scouts? I guess

423
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 2: they are. They're they're just dumb. They're they're not a

424
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,879
Speaker 2: smart as the Bengals look at us. We can do

425
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,560
Speaker 2: it with with a six person scouting department. It just

426
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 2: I just I just want to take a hammer to

427
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: my head. I need to take time out. I'm gonna

428
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 2: hyperventilate your turn as we continue. I've carved out from

429
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 2: here until along about maybe seven thirty or so. We'll

430
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 2: see how it goes. I want your reaction to what

431

Speaker 2: the show. You know, if I if I'm Joe Burrow,

437
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 2: I sat back and I thought, Man, if I'm Joe

438
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 2: Burrow today, I'm thinking, man, we are screwed. De facto

439
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: GM back coach back, coaching staff back. It'll get fixed

440
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 2: because they've they've done it before. The emphasis on close

441
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: games today, losing close game games twelve one score games

442
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 2: in the last two years. Well, if it's the players, well,

443
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 2: Duke brought the players. If it's the coaches, well the

444
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: coach is returning. Duke said they were gonna tweak coaching techniques. Well,

445
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 2: while they're tweaking coaching techniques, I'll be standing over here

446
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: watching the clock tick on Joe Burrow's career. Let's go

447
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 2: back or to the phones for the first time tonight,

448
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Mike and Kentucky, you were on seven hunterd wlw oh, Fylance,

449
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: how are you tonight? I'm gonna have them. I'm gonna

450
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: lose my mind.

451
00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:40,679
Speaker 8: Oh buddy, the same same feeling over here listening to

452
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:44,000
Speaker 8: him today. It's just it's just the same thing. I mean,

453
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 8: the last twenty years has been the exact same in

454
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,160
Speaker 8: this city with really all.

455
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 11: The sports franchises.

456
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 8: But the way he talked about the scouting department and

457
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 8: that they got all the information, I mean, it's mind blowing.

458
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 8: It's absolutely mind blowing that they they don't. It's almost

459
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,440
Speaker 8: like they can't read the room.

460
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know. And it'd be one thing if

461
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 2: they had the same size scouting department as the rest

462
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 2: of the league. They are clearly far and away the

463
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: smallest scouting department. So I just don't understand if you're

464
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 2: gonna spend so much money in free agency and you

465
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: have with your Big three, and you've got to nail drafts.

466
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 2: This this franchise with Joe Burrow has got to nail drafts.

467
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,800
Speaker 2: I would think you'd want to do everything possible to

468
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: increase your odds of nailing the drafts, not go with

469
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 2: the smallest scouting department in the league.

470
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 12: Yeah, it is, it is Apps.

471
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 13: I mean at this point, I was.

472
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,159
Speaker 8: I was a season ticket holder for almost a decade,

473
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 8: and I gave them up at the end of last

474
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 8: season because I was sick of it. Just the ideology

475
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 8: of that franchise it is.

476
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 13: It's it'll it'll wear.

477
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 8: You down, like it'll really bring down as a fan.

478
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 7: It's it's wild.

479
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: Hey, Mike, I appreciate you listen injury weekend for sure?

480
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 7: You too?

481
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: All right, thank you? Let me go to uh Mark Montgomery, Mark,

482
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: what do you make of all this today?

483
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 14: You know, so I've been watching this team since nineteen

484
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 14: sixty eight. You know, I'm seventy years old, and as

485
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,720
Speaker 14: far as I'm concerned, it's just the same thing, you know,

486
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 14: for the last fifty seven years. I mean, you know,

487
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 14: nothing's changed. I'm not surprised. And really I've kind of

488
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 14: come to the conclusion here that Mike Brown really looks

489
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 14: at the draft as a crap shoot, don't.

490
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 8: I think that's why wife always likes to compile a

491
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:29,200
Speaker 8: lot of draft picks. I don't think he really thinks

492
00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 8: there's a tremendous skill here, and he just he believes

493
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 8: that if you get enough quality players, you know you're

494
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 8: gonna hit on some players. And as you said, you

495
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 8: know you could pick Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase with

496
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 8: your eyes closed. That's a no good or no brainer picks.

497
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 8: You know, when you're drafting in the first five picks,

498
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 8: you know that that's pretty simple. But I really think

499
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 8: that that's how they look at it. They don't look

500
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 8: at the draft as.

501
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 14: Being any more than a lot of luck, and that

502
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 14: you know that they could spend more money and don't

503
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 14: think they'd have any better life.

504
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 9: And again the.

505
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 14: Question I always ask too with any of these franchises,

506
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 14: and people want to bang on the coaches and the

507
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 14: manager all the time, but you know, is the ownership

508
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 14: of both of these teams doing everything they can to

509
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 14: put the coaching staff and the manager in the best

510
00:30:18,440 --> 00:30:22,880
Speaker 14: position to win, and the answer to that is absolutely no,

511
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 14: never and really have not. So why is anybody surprised?

512
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 14: And quite frankly, I really think probably with this latest lease,

513
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 14: I think the Bengals are out of here in ten

514
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 14: years anyway. I mean, you got five new stadiums coming

515
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 14: on the market here in the next five or six years.

516
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 14: You got a three or four plan, including a couple

517
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 14: of domes, including the one in Cleveland. The had running's

518
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 14: on the wall. Ten years from now, they're going to

519
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 14: want a new stadium. People aren't going to vote for it.

520
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 14: They're going to be out of here, and you know, sadly,

521
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 14: you know, I feel bad for Joe Burrow these guys

522
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 14: because they're in a position. They've got contracts, and I

523
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,160
Speaker 14: don't think the owners going to do a damn thing.

524
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,959
Speaker 2: Mark, thank you, thanks, he feels I feel his frustration,

525
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 2: and uh, I feel it oozing through the radio and

526
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,479
Speaker 2: certainly feel like oozing through social media tonight. Price Hell, Brian,

527
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: what do you think about all this?

528
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 9: Lamb?

529
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 12: Sorry lamp, I dropped my phone, But yeah, I think

530
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 12: that I think that the same thing as uh. I

531
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 12: think they hired or put Joe t and Jamar to

532
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 12: where it's a ticket sales. They care about money, they

533
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 12: don't care about the team, they don't care about people,

534
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 12: they don't care about nothing.

535
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 9: Just like your last caller, he called heads up.

536
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 12: But I think you hot. You put Joe Burrow, T

537
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,160
Speaker 12: Higgins Jamar out there.

538
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 2: It's a ticket sales.

539
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 9: If everybody would.

540
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 12: Stop going to the games and spending money on alcohol,

541
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 12: I guarantee you Mike Brown's pocketbook would start hurting and

542
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 12: things would change. But they're not going to pile keep

543
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 12: scoring and they're not going to change.

544
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 7: What's that?

545
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: No, go ahead, go ahead, but they just.

546
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 12: They I don't see anything changing and it's not going

547
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 12: to Like he said that he was a season ticket holder,

548
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 12: I've been a season ticket holder too as well. And

549
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 12: guess what it just I got rid of mine before

550
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 12: COVID and I'm glad that I did. And everybody's like, oh,

551
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 12: you made the best decision of your life. I did

552
00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 12: because I'm tired of wasting money, spending money down there,

553
00:32:30,160 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 12: tailgate and all.

554
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 7: This other stuff.

555
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 12: And it's sad because nothing's going to change.

556
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 2: Ran, Thank you for taking the tip, Thank you for

557
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 2: taking the time to call tonight. Let's do it again sometime, right.

558
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 12: All, I appreciate it, Lance, thank you, But that.

559
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 2: Was a rapid fire first hour. I think there's more

560
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 2: meat on the bone to get to.

561
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:47,680
Speaker 15: Uh.

562
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 2: It is really frustrating to to look in and feel

563
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: that they are living off of twenty one and twenty

564
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: twenty two, propped up by Joe Burrow. Uh for for

565
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 2: that to be the default position, I got news for you.

566
00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 2: There was a twenty twenty three season, a twenty twenty

567
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 2: four and a twenty twenty five, and that is three

568
00:33:09,840 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 2: consecutive years in the Joe Burrow window they have failed

569
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:16,600
Speaker 2: to make the playoffs. And if you go nice round,

570
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 2: number of the last ten years to have made the

571
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 2: playoffs twice, even prior to Joe, And you're asking me

572
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: to believe doing it twice in ten years should instill

573
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 2: confidence in a belief that from me that they'll be

574
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: able to do it again. Well, what year would that be?

575
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,920
Speaker 2: And how many more years must be checked off in

576
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: the Joe Burrow window? Incredibly frustrating. More of your calls five, one, three, seven, four, nine,

577
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 2: seven thousand, one eight hundred, do the big one. It's

578
00:33:52,000 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 2: Arnel Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevallet seven hundred WW.

579
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 1: The following takes place between seven pm and eight pm.

580
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:22,840
Speaker 2: All right, what do you say we keep this thing movement?

581
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,399
Speaker 2: I see no reason to slow down down. We got

582
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:27,000
Speaker 2: up and running right out of the shoot at six.

583
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 2: We haven't slowed down. Eight o'clock hour and off the

584
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 2: beaten Path topic. I love Friday nights. I know you've

585
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:35,400
Speaker 2: got places to go, people to see, and things to do.

586
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,319
Speaker 2: If you hang out with me on a Friday night,

587
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 2: you are you're good people. I very much appreciate it.

588
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 2: We always try to have some fun and lighten the mood.

589
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: In the eight o'clock hour, got an off the beaten

590
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 2: path topic based on a movie Kelly and I recently watched,

591
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: which I'll spin into a sportstop coming up in less

592
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: than one hour. The news of the day, Duke Tobin.

593
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:03,200
Speaker 2: He addressed the media, spoke for sixty four minutes. He answered,

594
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 2: by my count, forty seven questions. He sat down at

595
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: the podium with a notepad. He had an opening statement

596
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 2: that ran about three and a half minutes, and then

597
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: he fielded those forty seven questions. And I thought it

598
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 2: was I thought the forty seven questions were well organized

599
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 2: and presented. I felt going in really nothing that Duke

600
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: said was going to satisfy the fan base, so my

601
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 2: bar was set kind of. There wasn't an expectation that

602
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,239
Speaker 2: this would be earthshaking, a game changer, nor did I

603
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:44,480
Speaker 2: think anybody would really say I am now fully convinced

604
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,600
Speaker 2: and on board that this team is going to win

605
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl next year. I did not anticipate his

606
00:35:54,320 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 2: go to points being delivered and received, at least on

607
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: my end, and becoming so frustratingly just aggravating on a

608
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:11,239
Speaker 2: couple of different things, including the scouting department, and headlined

609
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 2: by why should anyone believe that you'll fix it or

610
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 2: are capable of fixing it? When the answer is because

611
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 2: we've done it before. It just makes me want to

612
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 2: throw things, if not throw up things. Let me give

613
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 2: you a couple of more samplings. As much as I'd

614
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 2: love to play the entire sixty four minutes, obviously don't

615
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: have time. So I've tried to pick out some things

616
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 2: that caught my ear. Gave you some of the first there.

617
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 2: Let me give you a couple of more. Here's Duke

618
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 2: on how important all of this is to the organization.

619
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:45,040
Speaker 2: To listen.

620
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 6: I think the organization is willing to do anything it

621
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Speaker 6: takes to win. I mean, that's been I've been here

622
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 6: long enough to know that. If that wasn't the case,

623
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 6: I wouldn't say it. You know, the organization wants to win.

624
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 6: Mister Brown wants to win. Katie Troy, Elizabeth, Caroline, Paul,

625
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,320
Speaker 6: they want to win. That's what they want. They're willing

626
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 6: to do whatever it takes.

627
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 2: Duke Tobin earlier today he also and this was a

628
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: talking point he went back to a couple of times

629
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:23,800
Speaker 2: about elements of this team that have to get better,

630
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 2: and that is finishing games, closing out games. They have

631
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 2: twelve losses in the past two years by one score.

632
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 2: Here's what he said about that earlier today.

633
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 6: It irritates me, It really irritates me. You have to

634
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 6: find ways to close games, and that has been our

635
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 6: number one problem is when it comes time to close

636
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 6: the game, we haven't closed it. And so how do

637
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 6: you get over that hump? When we take the field

638
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 6: against any team in this league, we can win and

639
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 6: that team we're playing knows it. We don't go out

640
00:37:56,520 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 6: there and get pummeled. We are in it and a

641
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 6: lot of times should win it. And then don't I

642
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 6: think that last game against Cleveland is just a microcosm

643
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 6: of what we've had. But it's very frustrating that we've

644
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 6: lost so many close games, incredibly frustrating. Had we just

645
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,520
Speaker 6: won our share of those, not more than our share,

646
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 6: we'd be talking about least having opportunities in the playoffs,

647
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 6: which is where we feel we should be. We feel

648
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 6: like we're a championship caliber team. We're six and eleven.

649
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 6: I'm six and eleven. How could you feel that way?

650
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 6: You're an idiot. Well that's the way I feel.

651
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 2: Well, then what I don't understand then is, and it

652
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,520
Speaker 2: goes back to Zach's throwaway line, we're all accountable for this.

653
00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:44,840
Speaker 2: If if that's the feel that they're a championship team,

654
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 2: and they went six and eleven and they've missed the

655
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: playoffs for three straight years, why are they running it

656
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 2: back again? And to his point of close games, yes,

657
00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:01,680
Speaker 2: they lost games this year by one score. They lost

658
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 2: seven games last year by one score, so they clearly

659
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:05,919
Speaker 2: haven't been able to fix that. And yet he also

660
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 2: said we haven't been pummeled. Well, I don't know. You

661
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: lost by thirty eight to Minnesota, you lost by twenty

662
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 2: five to Denver. I don't care who was quarterbacking. You

663
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 2: lost by twenty two to the Steelers, and at home

664
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 2: against a division rival with their playoff hopes still alive.

665
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,719
Speaker 2: They know showed and lost twenty four to nothing. And

666
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 2: yet we don't get pumbled and have a chance in

667
00:39:26,560 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 2: every game. And the answer to that is run it back,

668
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 2: because we've done it before. Sometimes you just can't make

669
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 2: stuff up. Sometimes. Back to the phones, and let's go here, TJ.

Speaker 14: original Montgomery End.

792
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 20: Players are resilient. High level athletes have to be tell

793
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 20: us about kind of the emotional tenor of the team

794
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:18,640
Speaker 20: right now.

795
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 22: Well, first, guys, I'd like to apologize for the way

796
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 22: I came out of the locker room the other night.

797
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 2: Apologize that you obviously talked to you guys off.

798
00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 22: Air yesterday, but I want to say it on air.

799
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 22: None of my emotions or anger or frustration was directed

800
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 22: at you. None of it was directed at any body

801
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 22: of people in particular. You guys are the best. You

802
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 22: guys know how I feel. I don't think you all

803
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:43,719
Speaker 22: took it that way.

804
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 20: We did not for the record, and it's completely unnecessary,

805
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 20: but I appreciate the thought.

806
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 22: No, it needs to be said, and then listen, there's

807
00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 22: a lot of there's so many awesome people. I love

808
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 22: our fan base. That there's standards here, there's expectations. When

809
00:46:59,560 --> 00:47:03,560
Speaker 22: we don't meet those, it's extremely frustrating. I pride myself

810
00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 22: on being professional, handle it the right way when you're

811
00:47:06,880 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 22: supposed to when you lead a program like this. At

812
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 22: that moment, I did, and then for that, I'm sorry,

813
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,839
Speaker 22: But now it's time to move on and let's reach

814
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 22: those standards.

815
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 2: West Miller last night on his radio show That is

816
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 2: Your College Basketball Weekend Preview presented by Kelsey Chevrolet. Let's

817
00:47:21,640 --> 00:47:23,320
Speaker 2: get back into the story of the day. Duke Tobin

818
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: spoke earlier at one o'clock, spoke for sixty four minutes,

819
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: answered approximately forty seven questions, and we have reacted to

820
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 2: things we have heard. Let's go to Harrison. Hey, Rick,

821
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 2: welcome to Sports Talk.

822
00:47:36,520 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 12: Hey, y'all, I answer you.

823
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm okay, how about you good?

824
00:47:41,600 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 5: I just wanted to make a quick observation. Listened to

825
00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:50,720
Speaker 5: most of his press conference today and tried to listen

826
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 5: to what I should say. But after hearing him talk,

827
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:58,359
Speaker 5: I can see why he's coming back, because he is

828
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 5: literally as out of touch and out of reality of

829
00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 5: what needs to be done with the football team as

830
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 5: the entire Brown family.

831
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:14,960
Speaker 2: It certainly left me worried about how aware they are

832
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: of the issues and how capable they are of fixing

833
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:18,560
Speaker 2: those issues.

834
00:48:20,320 --> 00:48:23,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's just after you're hearing him talk, I thought

835
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,480
Speaker 5: him and the Browns are made perfect for each other.

836
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 2: Rick, enjoy your weekend and appreciate you checking in.

837
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 7: You too, and Georgia says.

838
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,080
Speaker 2: Right, thank you, very kind of you. Let's go to Ross. Hey, Ed,

839
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 2: welcome to sports Talk.

840
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:40,879
Speaker 4: Hey IAMB tell you doing tonight, buddy.

841
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to hang in there.

842
00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 4: Well, I'll give you a little tongue in cheek, all right,

843
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 4: all right, So let's here's what happened. I when I

844
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 4: was fifteen years old, was when the Bangels went to

845
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 4: the Super Bowl in eighty one, right, yep. So I

846
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:04,240
Speaker 4: went into a coma right before the game. And today

847
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:09,560
Speaker 4: I woke up from that coma, and the first thing

848
00:49:09,600 --> 00:49:16,239
Speaker 4: that I had on was Duke Toobdan's press conference, and

849
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 4: I was so excited Lance to know that we had

850
00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:22,200
Speaker 4: won seven or eight Super Bowls in the time that

851
00:49:22,239 --> 00:49:24,520
Speaker 4: I had been in a coma to today, because that's

852
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:25,400
Speaker 4: the way that man.

853
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 7: Talked about.

854
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:33,440
Speaker 4: Exactly the way that that man had talked I mean Lance.

855
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 4: When Marvin took over this team, we were still riding

856
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 4: off the coattails of the eighty eight Super Bowl. Right,

857
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 4: Marvin comes in, he drafts questionable players. We didn't care.

858
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 4: We would get to the playoffs and we would lose.

859
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:00,759
Speaker 4: Sixteen years later, a white napkin walks in right and

860
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 4: We're gonna draft better players now, people with character, people

861
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,480
Speaker 4: with honor. We're gonna fill this locker room full of

862
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 4: people with character and honor. And that goes to the

863
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 4: super Bowl the second year, right, yep? What makes Cincinnati

864
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,600
Speaker 4: believe that we're not gonna ride off of Zach's Zach

865
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,439
Speaker 4: Taylor's coattails for that one super Bowl for the next

866
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:27,240
Speaker 4: sixteen years?

867
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 23: Lamb?

868
00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:34,000
Speaker 4: What makes us all thinks? And I'm sick and tired

869
00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 4: of hearing people say I'm not coming back. Well, guess what, Lance,

870
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 4: We're all coming back. We all watch it. You me,

871
00:50:45,680 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 4: everybody that keeps saying that they're not coming back will

872
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 4: be there. Butts will be in seat opening day.

873
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,319
Speaker 2: I feel your frustration, Ed.

874
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 7: Lance as well.

875
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 2: I hear it. I feel it, you know. The more

876
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 2: I look at this and I look at the Duke

877
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 2: Tobin file, I mean, think about it. He's been the

878
00:51:08,120 --> 00:51:11,239
Speaker 2: director of player Personnel since two thousand and two, so

879
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:14,720
Speaker 2: twenty four seasons. He's been in charge of the roster.

880
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 2: As the air quotes the Facto GM, they have eleven

881
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:22,360
Speaker 2: winning seasons. Let me let me put it this way,

882
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 2: in how many other NFL cities do you believe that

883
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:31,960
Speaker 2: would fly Slash be accepted twenty four seasons as the

884
00:51:31,960 --> 00:51:37,640
Speaker 2: director of player personnel and eleven winning seasons, a record

885
00:51:37,680 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: of one eighty five and one ninety nine with four ties.

886
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 2: Does that grant the acceptance of we'll figure it out

887
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:50,680
Speaker 2: because we've done it before. That's that's what leaves me baffled.

888
00:51:51,760 --> 00:51:54,399
Speaker 2: In Lexington, we go, Hey, Joel, welcome to Sports Talk.

889
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,720
Speaker 15: Hey, good evening, Good evening. Yeah, so I was driving

890
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 15: back from Cincinnati. I'm in Lexington, Kentucky now, even wearing

891
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:07,319
Speaker 15: Bengals swag. I'm like your last caller, he kind of.

892
00:52:07,360 --> 00:52:09,239
Speaker 15: I don't have a lot to add to this, but

893
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,200
Speaker 15: I will be back. And I watched the Bengals. I

894
00:52:15,200 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 15: get heartbreak on Sundays with that. But like the last caller,

895
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,399
Speaker 15: and you said, I really we saw him stay with

896
00:52:22,520 --> 00:52:25,920
Speaker 15: Marvin Lewis for a long time. Nice guy, great guy evidently,

897
00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 15: and Zach Taylor like him. But in the world of work,

898
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 15: it's just not reality that it's a performance based business

899
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 15: and the performance isn't there. You're given opportunities, but I

900
00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 15: just I can't believe it either in most jobs or

901
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 15: in most like you said, NFL teams, this kind of record,

902
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,040
Speaker 15: wouldn't keep you employed. And I listened to some of

903
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,120
Speaker 15: that press conference. I'm out of town, like I said,

904
00:52:51,120 --> 00:52:53,360
Speaker 15: I'm in Cincinnati coming back. I listen to some of

905
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 15: that and it's not inspiring. It's really heartbreaking. But I

906
00:52:58,200 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 15: will be back and I'm a bing and but it's

907
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:04,239
Speaker 15: just so disappointing.

908
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 7: I don't know why they do this.

909
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 2: That's a great way. You used some great words. It's

910
00:53:10,600 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 2: not inspiring, heartbreaking, and that's that's a that's a good

911
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 2: way to describe the situation. Hey, Joel, enjoy your weekend,

912

915
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,440
Speaker 2: Charlie and Harry and others. I want to add this

916
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,839
Speaker 2: to the mix. What were you doing ten years ago

917
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: tonight as a Bengals fan? Do you know what you

918

00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 2: be a perfect flip of the script to how we

928
00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:20,680
Speaker 2: have felt through the first couple hours. Then at nine o'clock,

Speaker 2: Dan Carroll is here. He's in for Sterling, He's got you.

00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 2: it would be worthy of an ESPN thirty for thirty,

982
00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:37,520
Speaker 2: honestly disgust me the way this game ended. You know,

983
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,200
Speaker 2: as I'm listening back to that, it now feels like

984
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 2: I'm piling on tonight, like you already heard it in

985
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,680
Speaker 2: a sour enough mood. But it's see it happened on

986
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: this date, Hi Stack. And there are just so many

987
00:57:49,480 --> 00:57:51,919
Speaker 2: things in that game that I mean one, that game

988
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:57,720
Speaker 2: was a absolute bloodback. I mean not not physical, it

989
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 2: was brutality on the field. The Giovanni Bernard knocked unconscious

990
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: by Ryan Shazier. They just oh man, there was just

991
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 2: so much there. And the touchdown catch but between the

992
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 2: legs the pirate or the pirates, the Steelers wide receiver

993
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,160
Speaker 2: in the back of the end zone, and when when

994
00:58:18,840 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 2: perfect intercept, I was jumping up and down with Casey

995
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,919
Speaker 2: looking up to like the football gods above, like they're

996
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 2: going to win a playoff game. They're going to win

997
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 2: a play Fontes perfect personal foul, Adam Jones personal foul.

998
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 2: And I will never forget the smirk on the face

999
00:58:41,280 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 2: of assistant coach Joey Porter when he was on the

1000
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 2: field after Antonio Brown had been hit and was laid out.

1001
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: Joey Porter went out there simply to insight as an instigator,

1002
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 2: and the grin on his face when he drew the

1003
00:58:56,040 --> 00:59:00,640
Speaker 2: second personal foul. And you know what else I remember

1004
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 2: about that and it will it will always bug me,

1005
00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 2: and it is such a steealer thing. The first personal

1006
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:10,959
Speaker 2: foul of the night was against the Steelers offensive line

1007
00:59:11,000 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 2: coach Mike Munchak, who was flagged for grabbing Reggie Nelson's

1008
00:59:16,840 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 2: hair after Reggie Nelson was out of bounds pursuing a

1009
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:29,720
Speaker 2: tackle and he grabbed his hair. If that's not a

1010
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 2: stealer thing, I don't know what it is. Let's go

1011
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 2: back to the phones five one, three, seven four night,

1012
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:41,360
Speaker 2: seven thousand fifty, ten years ago, tonight, ten years ago tonight.

1013
00:59:42,320 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 2: You know what? And the sting has not faded, nor

1014
00:59:45,680 --> 00:59:48,760
Speaker 2: do I think it'll ever fade. Crittendon, we go, Hey, Dwayne,

Speaker 9: You love it, Lance.

00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,400
Speaker 13: You loved putting salt in that loan. Someone actually brought

1018
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 13: the name basic back into both.

1019
00:59:58,440 --> 00:59:59,480
Speaker 4: Thank you so much for that.

1020
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 13: Forget you, my friend.

1021
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 25: We had, we had.

1022
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:05,200
Speaker 13: I had the privilege of working with you back.

1023
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:05,760
Speaker 7: In the nineties.

1024
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 13: You were down the hall in this at the score

1025
01:00:08,640 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 13: with Skinny getting here, and I knew, I knew great

1026
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:14,160
Speaker 13: things were in order for you and that it would

1027
01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 13: all work out. Had I known the trumpy stories, man,

1028
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 13: I would have been down in the hall plugging.

1029
01:00:19,440 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 10: They instead of putting up with Carl.

1030
01:00:21,480 --> 01:00:21,720
Speaker 2: Carl.

1031
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 13: But anyway, Uh, we're like battered wives here, okay, I

1032
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 13: mean we're about the same age the nineties we lived

1033
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 13: through that. I think Willie's great with the zach Schula.

1034
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 13: I mean this tiger and on Cage's spots there Lance Uh,

1035
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:41,000
Speaker 13: Mike Brown. You would think, out of all the pride

1036
01:00:41,160 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 13: the game made his family billionaires. You would think, before

1037
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 13: I die, we were going to go for it everything,

1038
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 13: and you had d one generational quarterback to do it,

1039
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:56,520
Speaker 13: and you screwed it up, and so no, And when

1040
01:00:56,560 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 13: people were on the bandwagon in the beginning, when I

1041
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 13: saw the LSU and I said, the poor guy's coming

1042
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,640
Speaker 13: to Cincinnati and he's going to be abused just like

1043
01:01:05,880 --> 01:01:10,040
Speaker 13: the previous quarterbacks. And it's just sad, It really is sad.

1044
01:01:10,080 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 13: I'm glad you were making a living off of the brother.

1045
01:01:12,960 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 13: Congratulations to your success. You're going to continue to do

1046
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:20,080
Speaker 13: it until you decide to retire like Willie never and

1047
01:01:20,880 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 13: I just I'm proud of you. And it's just sad

1048
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 13: because you would think that billionaire family just once once

1049
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 13: would give everything they got. That guy today, whoever, he's

1050
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 13: got the personality of a pumpkin and the football skills

1051
01:01:37,600 --> 01:01:42,240
Speaker 13: to match. It's sad that this city deserves so much more.

1052
01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 13: And because I was on the air laughing at the

1053
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,400
Speaker 13: tax for the new stadium back in the nineties, then

1054
01:01:47,440 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 13: I had a chance for season tickets in the box

1055
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 13: and I'm like, no, are you kidding me? It's not

1056
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:55,880
Speaker 13: going to change. And when people were getting on the bandwagon,

1057
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 13: I was like, kids, don't you know your kids, You

1058
01:01:58,760 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 13: don't realize who you're dealing with, the Brown family. It's

1059
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 13: not going to change. And that's what's sad that they

1060
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 13: couldn't have sold the franchise to a billionaire. Because the

1061
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:12,480
Speaker 13: billionaires who own teams, that's their toy. They play with it.

1062
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 13: They throw that money at it, you know, like you're

1063
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 13: an owner of a boat. You're never gonna get it's

1064
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 13: a money pit.

1065
01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 9: But they made their living at it.

1066
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 13: So that's all I have to say.

1067
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:24,240
Speaker 2: Dwayne, you made my night with the very kind words.

1068
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 2: They are very much appreciated. It is great hearing your voice.

1069
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 2: And I hope we talk again soon.

1070
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:29,320
Speaker 26: I hope we do.

1071
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:32,000
Speaker 13: Tell Dan Carroll CEC said, man, I.

1072
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,160
Speaker 2: Will do that. Thanks ye all right, thank you brother,

1073
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,560
Speaker 2: there you go. You know what is really kind words,

1074
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:43,560
Speaker 2: thank you? What is just incredibly frustrating is to not

1075
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:47,440
Speaker 2: be aggressively taking advantage of the opportunity that they were

1076
01:02:47,560 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 2: gifted with Joe Burrow. They were gifted with it, and

1077
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 2: yet coasting on him instead of pedal to the metal

1078
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:05,480
Speaker 2: with him three years in a row without making the playoffs.

1079
01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:08,840
Speaker 2: And the answer is to run it back with the

1080
01:03:08,960 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 2: de facto GM, the coaches and all the assistants, the

1081
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 2: head coach and all the assistants in the Joe Burrow window.

1082
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 2: And again, I'll go back to this. I truly believe

1083
01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 2: there is not another team in the NFL. Maybe I'm

1084
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 2: missing one. I don't even think the Raiders would fit this.

1085
01:03:28,040 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Over the last twenty four years, the man building the

1086
01:03:32,360 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 2: roster has built eleven winning teams out of twenty four seasons.

1087
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:46,640
Speaker 2: And he was the one asking you to understand why

1088
01:03:46,760 --> 01:03:48,240
Speaker 2: it's going to get fixed today.

1089
01:03:50,120 --> 01:03:51,880
Speaker 18: I mean, what world are we living?

1090
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 2: Well, we're living in a world with the Indiana Hoosiers

1091
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 2: have just taking a lead on a pick six less

1092
01:03:58,080 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 2: than a minute end of the game. Was that the

1093
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,440
Speaker 2: first play from scrimmage, Indiana has taken the lead and

1094
01:04:05,440 --> 01:04:07,920
Speaker 2: the Peach Bowl. The crowd, which looks to be about

1095
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 2: ninety five percent hoo's your fans. I think that place

1096
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 2: is shaking right now. Holy cow, six nothing pending the

1097
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,120
Speaker 2: extra point on a pick six.

1098
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 15: Man.

1099
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 2: This is RNL Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevalet.

1101
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:29,919
Speaker 2: on the board in the first half, coast a little.

1102
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: In the second half, the Rockets founded a bit of

1103
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 2: a comeback, but fall by fifteen. Selina was undefeated in

1104
01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 2: the MAC and Miami beats him on the road at

1105

1109
01:04:50,440 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: but man, there's gonna be a dramatic shift in tone

1110
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 2: in feeling because it's needed and it's Friday night. We're

1111

Speaker 2: us to new and then the off the Beaten Path topic.

1114
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:05,000

1115
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, Well what I did that night.

1116
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 27: I was so depressed when the game ended, I I

1117
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 27: just laid down, went to sleep, and in the morning

1118
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,400
Speaker 27: I was trying to convince myself that I fell asleep

1119
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 27: during the game and it was just a nightmare, like

1120
01:05:19,560 --> 01:05:20,880
Speaker 27: the worst possible ending.

1121
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:22,880
Speaker 2: Yeah you know, yeah, I know.

1122
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 27: Well, yeah, I'll look at the I look at the

1123
01:05:24,840 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 27: sports news and.

1124
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:26,640
Speaker 7: All the Beckels won.

1125
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:28,640
Speaker 9: But I mean, could I.

1126
01:05:28,800 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 27: Even imagined it any worse than it was? Yeah, you

1127
01:05:33,280 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 27: were asking what we do that time. I usually listened

1128
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,120
Speaker 27: to the post game one way or another, but I

1129
01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:39,680
Speaker 27: was just, Oh, it was so bad.

1130
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 2: I couldn't do it.

1131
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 15: You know.

1132
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 2: It was just God, that's all I need. Thank you.

1133
01:05:44,200 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: It was just such a debilitating punch to the gut,

1134
01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 2: if not lower kind of night with that game. Sat

1135
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:53,280
Speaker 2: Leon we go. Hey Bob, welcome to Sports Talk.

1136
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, love your show.

1137
01:05:57,320 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 7: Thank you big.

1138
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 25: I'm it's Gary Burbank Bengals legend. I appreciate you adding

1139
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 25: the humor of that game because it was just I

1140
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 25: was rooting for the Bengals, not a Bengals fan in

1141
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 25: any way, shape or for him, but when I was watching,

1142
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 25: it was definitely rooting for him. But then to just

1143
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:17,880
Speaker 25: see him like he says, disintegrate and I mean two

1144
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 25: thugs of players that were Yeah, anyways, but it just

1145
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 25: whenever I hear the name Duke Tobin. Just to help

1146
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:33,360
Speaker 25: with that comedy add back in. You remember Brian Fontane

1147
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 25: on anchor Man, Well, he had the lou Dobbin good

1148
01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:41,400
Speaker 25: time winger pouch. So that's the one he gave to Brick.

1149
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:45,000
Speaker 25: So I guess that's just remember him sticking there for

1150
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,240
Speaker 25: Duke Tobin because I don't think he's a whole lot

1151
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 25: better than one with a whole inning.

1152
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,000
Speaker 2: Bob, have a great weekend. It just yeah, I appreciate

1153
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,840
Speaker 2: check it in. I have people are feeling it. I

1154
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:58,680
Speaker 2: said this earlier in the week. If the Bengals believed

1155
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 2: that the the comment from ownership early in the week,

1156
01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,640
Speaker 2: Zach's news conference and then Duke's news conference today was

1157
01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 2: going to smooth things over, I think it's safe to

1158
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: say that did not is not happening. Dayton, We go, Charley,

1159
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:14,919
Speaker 2: Welcome to Sports Talk.

1160
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 28: Hey, Alan's thank you for all your Facebook comment man,

1161
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 28: I really appreciate that.

1162
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 2: Thank you.

1163
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 5: The thing that has stuck with me every single week.

1164
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 17: Isman's comment last year at the com time when he

1165
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:35,760
Speaker 17: said smugly on to pay for the same team.

1166
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 8: And then he did yes, and here we are today

1167
01:07:39,760 --> 01:07:42,320
Speaker 8: with the exact same problem we had last.

1168
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 26: Year, where it's like you didn't bring anybody in on defense.

1169
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 7: What wasn't impressed?

1170
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 10: It's like you still need three starters at least at

1171
01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 10: least maybe yeah, you know, but but you made him

1172
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:59,840
Speaker 10: last year. And really, if he would have came out

1173
01:07:59,880 --> 01:08:04,400
Speaker 10: and said, uh, we're missing our safety, we're missing.

1174
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,800
Speaker 29: Jesse Bates and we need Jesse Bates back.

1175
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 16: Because he's like, we don't have a root on defense,

1176
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 16: He's like, yeah, you should have played with back in

1177
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 16: twenty fifteen and you should have paid bays.

1178
01:08:14,720 --> 01:08:17,920
Speaker 2: Have a good night, Lands, Thank you, Charlie H. Fairfield.

1179
01:08:17,960 --> 01:08:20,080
Speaker 2: We go Andy, give me a memory of ten years

1180
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,280
Speaker 2: ago tonight to Lance.

1181
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 30: My wife and I were dating at the time, as

1182
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,879
Speaker 30: she's not a sports fan. It was the first complete

1183
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 30: football game she ever watched, and I think she had

1184
01:08:31,600 --> 01:08:34,760
Speaker 30: she had more entertainment watching me jump up and down

1185
01:08:34,880 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 30: and then crawl on the floor and I had to

1186
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 30: drive her home at midnight. It was and she the

1187
01:08:41,880 --> 01:08:47,280
Speaker 30: amazing thing. She married me anyway, but it was h

1188
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 30: it was a hilarious It actually made it bearable just

1189
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 30: watching her laugh at me. I bet, I bet the

1190
01:08:54,840 --> 01:08:58,600
Speaker 30: other thing real quick? Isn't the NFL set up to

1191
01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,519
Speaker 30: make this not happen? Between the scheduling and the way

1192
01:09:01,560 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 30: the draft works, it almost seems like it's harder to

1193
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 30: do what the Bengals have done than actually be successful.

1194
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 30: The thought, Hey, I have a great weekend, Andy you too,

1195
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 30: I appreciate it. Thank you man, such kind words today.

1199
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 2: matter how you felt in the first two hours, I'm

1200
01:09:26,240 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 2: gonna put a smile on your face. We're gonna have

Speaker 2: All right into the eight o'clock hour, we go and

1205
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:59,240
Speaker 2: nice answer by the Oregon Ducks. Ducks threw a pick

1206
01:09:59,360 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 2: six the first play the game. Indiana led seven to

1207
01:10:01,800 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 2: nothing in a blink of an eye, and then the

1208
01:10:03,960 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 2: Ducks marched fourteen plays seventy five yards for a score

1209
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 2: touchdown pass from about nineteen yards and we're even. I

1210
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:18,400
Speaker 2: would wonder how many scoring drive touchdown drives of at

1211
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 2: least fourteen plays Indiana allowed this season and Oregon, I

1212
01:10:24,320 --> 01:10:26,439
Speaker 2: don't want to say with relative ease. I mean it

1213
01:10:26,520 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 2: took them a while, but it was fourteen plays seventy

1214
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:31,519
Speaker 2: five yards on a touchdown and we are even buckle

01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: full show, And my idea is, it's the end of

1219
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,880
Speaker 2: the week, and who wants to as much as we

1220
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:46,640
Speaker 2: may have ranted and raved and lost our minds in

1221
01:10:46,640 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 2: the first two hours, who wants to end the week

1222
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,800
Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock hour with ranting and raving and

1223
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 2: screaming and stuff that makes you unhappy. So I always

01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 2: walk around very stressed because it gets later in the weekend.

1232
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,000
Speaker 2: If I don't have it off the beaten path topic,

1233
01:11:15,080 --> 01:11:16,800
Speaker 2: then I'm texting you, see Chris, and I'm saying I

1234
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:19,400
Speaker 2: got nothing. I got nothing. Here's what I'm going to

1235
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: offer up tonight. And as I always say, I could

1236
01:11:22,200 --> 01:11:24,560
Speaker 2: offer it up. It only works if you take it

1237
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 2: and run with it. I think there's something here. I

1238
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 2: went over this with Kelly last night. She thinks there's

1239
01:11:30,320 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 2: something here, So follow me, all right. We watched last

1240
01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:39,200
Speaker 2: week when Peyton was home for a while. It was me,

1241
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 2: Kelly and Peyton, and we watched a movie called Eternity,

1242
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:47,639
Speaker 2: and it is a It came out in twenty twenty five.

1243
01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:52,560
Speaker 2: It's a throwback romantic comedy and it's about eternity, a

1244
01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:58,320
Speaker 2: state of endless existence. And in the movie, souls arrive

1245
01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 2: at a train station to begin their after life, and

1246
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:07,560
Speaker 2: they arrive in the happiest time of their life. It

1247
01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:09,960
Speaker 2: might be when they were nine years old or twenty

1248
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 2: or thirty seven, or sixty five or ninety, but no

1249
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:16,519
Speaker 2: matter when they died, they arrived at this train station

1250
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 2: to begin their after life in the happiest moment of

1251
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 2: their life, and that's how they're going to spend their

1252
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:24,320
Speaker 2: after life.

1253
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 15: Now.

1254
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to get too deep on that, but

1255
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 2: the acting, the threesome, the tree are really good and

1256
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:33,120
Speaker 2: the woman faces a really tough choice in all this.

1257
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 2: For the purposes of the topic, though, I want to

1258
01:12:35,960 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 2: make it about sports, and I'll simply ask this, what

1259
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:47,800
Speaker 2: was your happiest time in your life as a sports fan,

1260
01:12:49,479 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 2: that period in time that it was the very best,

1261
01:12:54,040 --> 01:13:00,680
Speaker 2: the happiest time as a fan, when everything became worth it,

1262
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:04,160
Speaker 2: when everything came together, when there was that sense of pride.

1263
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,439
Speaker 2: Maybe it was with your favorite team that you followed.

1264
01:13:09,920 --> 01:13:13,040
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a team you played on, Maybe it's a

1265
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 2: team you're your child played on. It doesn't matter to me.

1266
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 2: You're the one who gets to answer. In relation to

1267
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 2: the movie Eternity and everybody arriving the soul's arriving at

1268
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 2: this train station and for their afterlife and their happiest

1269
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:29,160
Speaker 2: time of their life. I said, well, wait, Mante, I'm

1270
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,960
Speaker 2: gonna borrow that and make it about sports. So the

1271
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: happiest time in your life related to sports was when

1272
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 2: and why take me back to that time. When was it,

1273
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:44,920
Speaker 2: How old were you?

1274
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:47,240
Speaker 9: What was it like?

1275
01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 2: Relive it for me. I'll give you mine, I'll give

1276
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 2: you mine, you give me yours. Nineteen seventy six, I

1277
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 2: was ten year years old, the big red machine. Now,

1278
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 2: my team had won the previous year, first team that

1279
01:14:09,560 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 2: I followed to win a championship at the age of nine,

1280
01:14:13,080 --> 01:14:17,160
Speaker 2: and that was great. But nineteen seventy six to me

1281
01:14:19,160 --> 01:14:26,200
Speaker 2: was a flex of greatness and domination, larger than life.

1282
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 2: Players that I was rooting for, pros, the definition of

1283
01:14:33,040 --> 01:14:37,519
Speaker 2: professionals and how they went about their business, methodical in

1284
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 2: running rough shot over the National League that year, and

1285
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:44,760
Speaker 2: then over the American League in the World Series, a

1286
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 2: sweep in the NL playoffs, and then a sweep in

1287
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 2: the World Series, a sweep of the postseason. My team

1288
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 2: was king and I was ten year years old. My

1289
01:15:02,320 --> 01:15:05,240
Speaker 2: team was on the cover of Sports Illustrated. It seemed

1290
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 2: like every week, or on the cover of the Sporting News,

1291
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:09,720

1293
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 2: another magazine. Every week. Mel Allen on this week in Baseball,

1294
01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:24,320

Speaker 2: Twip notes that at age ten, for me was my

1297
01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 2: happiest time as a sports fan because that team. I

1298
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 2: just wish I could I could do justice to that

1299
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 2: team in the words I'm choosing to describe them with.

1300
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:51,800
Speaker 2: To those who just don't know weren't fortunate enough to

1301
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 2: follow that team. I swear that team never lost. When

1302
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 2: I went to Riverfront as a kid, I swear every

1303
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,280
Speaker 2: time they all behind early, he is like, no problem,

1304
01:16:01,439 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 2: they'll come back and win. That's my answer. That's the

1305
01:16:06,600 --> 01:16:11,680
Speaker 2: happiest time in my life as a sports fan. How

1306
01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:16,640
Speaker 2: about you. That's the topic tonight. That's the off the

1307
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:21,120
Speaker 2: beaten path topic. Courtesy of the movie Eternity five one three,

1308
01:16:21,240 --> 01:16:24,559
Speaker 2: seven four nine, seven thousand, one eight hundred, The Big One.

1309
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 2: I cannot wait to have you take me back in

1310
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:32,200
Speaker 2: time to what that moment was like for you when

1311
01:16:32,200 --> 01:16:35,639
Speaker 2: you were at your happiest as a sports fan. And again,

1312
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 2: maybe the team you followed, maybe it was a team

1313
01:16:40,200 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 2: that you were playing on, maybe it was a team

1314
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:47,920
Speaker 2: your kids played on. That's the beauty of this because

1315
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,240
Speaker 2: I think it's going to be open ended enough and

1316
01:16:50,600 --> 01:16:53,920
Speaker 2: honestly the way the emotions were running, our emotions, my

1317
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: emotions in the first two hours. This should be a

1336
01:18:16,040 --> 01:18:17,920
Speaker 2: let's see what we can make out of this one.

1337
01:18:17,960 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 2: I highly recommend the movie Eternity. Now, I will admit

1338
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 2: it's good. I had to be explained some things by

1339
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 2: Kelly and Peyton and they kind of rolled their eyes

1340
01:18:25,479 --> 01:18:27,519
Speaker 2: and I'm like, well, I'm not sure what did that mean?

1341
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,400
Speaker 2: And they say, dad. But it really tremendous acting. It's

1342
01:18:31,439 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 2: a really fascinating storyline the way it's set up, and

1343
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 2: I just, you know me, I default to sports and

1344
01:18:39,360 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 2: I thought, way, man, if that movie is about souls

1345
01:18:43,960 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 2: showing up at this train station who are about to

1346
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 2: begin their after life, and they're beginning that after life

1347
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:54,479
Speaker 2: in the moment, they were their happiest in life. And

1348
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,719
Speaker 2: that's part of this storyline of the woman the age

1349
01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:00,280
Speaker 2: she is at because she had a husband who had

1350
01:19:00,320 --> 01:19:02,320
Speaker 2: died and she remarried. And not to get too deep,

1351
01:19:02,400 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 2: but it adds to the intrigue of this storyline. And

1352
01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 2: I thought, willyamit, I'll just turn it into sports tonight,

1353
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 2: for when were we the happiest as a sports fan?

1354
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 2: I think because I leaned on him so much for advice,

1355
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 2: and most of it is accepted. I should begin this

1356
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 2: in Walton with UC Chris, how are.

1357
01:19:22,800 --> 01:19:24,920
Speaker 7: You always good? Talking to you?

1358
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 13: Lance?

1359
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 16: You know, as a obviously you know I'm gigantic Reds fan.

1360
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,240
Speaker 16: Seventy five and seventy six were fantastic, But I was

1361
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 16: eight and nine, I was child. It was great for

1362
01:19:37,680 --> 01:19:46,400
Speaker 16: whiffleballs or plastic you know, helmets or wristbands or batting

1363
01:19:46,439 --> 01:19:50,280
Speaker 16: gloves and all that. That was great, But I quite

1364
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,160
Speaker 16: I don't know if I should admit I enjoyed the

1365
01:19:53,360 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 16: nineties series because I was twenty three. I was an adult.

1366
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,600
Speaker 16: I was able to go to the games, beers, you know,

1367
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:07,000
Speaker 16: go out afterwards and talk about the games. It was fantastic.

1368
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,519
Speaker 16: So that's the Reds. But you're missing the number one

1369
01:20:11,439 --> 01:20:18,280
Speaker 16: major major in any UC fan, the Huggins years. I mean,

1370
01:20:18,520 --> 01:20:22,679
Speaker 16: we were always ranked. You were able to talk crap

1371
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 16: to Xavier fans and the rest of the country. I mean,

1372
01:20:26,840 --> 01:20:28,639
Speaker 16: we went to the final four in the lead eight.

1373
01:20:29,000 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 16: So we lost to the final four in the Michigan

1374
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:33,680
Speaker 16: and then I think in the Elite eight we got

1375
01:20:33,720 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 16: beat by Carolina. Is that correct?

1376
01:20:36,320 --> 01:20:36,439
Speaker 2: Ye?

1377
01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 16: So, but every single year. They were good. They were

1378
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 16: always ranked. Hell, they were number one ranked in the

1379
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:49,800
Speaker 16: country multiple years. So that was my happiest fan, being

1380
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:55,000
Speaker 16: a graduate of the university, had season tickets and listened

1381
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,600
Speaker 16: to every single ball game on the radio for the

1382
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 16: you know, now, and I'm almost sixty years old, I

1383
01:21:02,920 --> 01:21:06,479
Speaker 16: never miss a minute, you know, And I like fabulous here.

1384
01:21:06,600 --> 01:21:09,519
Speaker 2: I like your point because you were older, you were

1385
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 2: more mature, you had more life experiences, and you were

1386
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 2: able to appreciate it more at and older. I kind

1387
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:16,439
Speaker 2: of like where you're going with that.

1388
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 16: No, it is, I mean, because if you noticed, I

1389
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:24,240
Speaker 16: don't even pick on Xavier, Kentucky anymore or Ohio State.

1390
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:24,960
Speaker 13: I don't.

1391
01:21:25,280 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 16: But back in my twenties and thirties, I was young

1392
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 16: and I would always pick how. I got in fights

1393
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 16: with Mike from Kentucky on air on Bob, you know,

1394
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 16: and we argued about the great mid West. You know,

1395
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 16: those days are over, you know. I suddenly listened to Zay,

1396
01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:49,679
Speaker 16: I listened to Byron and Joe every Xavier game.

1397
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: There you go, and you older and calmer.

1398
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 16: But the Huggins years is number one, and nobody can

1399
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 16: actually rebuke that.

1400
01:21:58,160 --> 01:21:58,439
Speaker 7: That's it.

1401
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:00,880
Speaker 2: So what you're telling me is what you're telling me

1402
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,679
Speaker 2: is that this topic has a chance to work.

1403
01:22:03,760 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 11: You like this.

1404
01:22:05,720 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, you didn't ask me about this.

1405
01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 15: I know.

1406
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:09,360
Speaker 2: I was worried about the other one. I know, I

1407
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,760
Speaker 2: know I was worried about. Kelly signed off on it,

1408
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 2: and I said, all right, I'm gonna roll with Kelly

1409
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:16,839
Speaker 2: and and I'll ask you in the future.

1410
01:22:16,960 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 16: So well, I'm not gonna watch that movie because it

1411
01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:23,799
Speaker 16: sounded miserable. If you were miserable not understanding, I certainly

1412
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:24,840
Speaker 16: won't understand it.

1413
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:26,560
Speaker 9: I gotta go.

1414
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:29,559
Speaker 2: I have a good weekend, all right, I'm getting another beer.

1415
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:33,240
Speaker 2: Of course you are. No, it was good. It was

1416
01:22:33,320 --> 01:22:36,000
Speaker 2: a little it got a little deep sometimes and I

1417
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:38,320
Speaker 2: got kind of lost in the flow of the movie

1418
01:22:38,439 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 2: a couple of points, and I turned to Kelly and

1419
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:42,479
Speaker 2: Peyton and they got me back on board. Now, oh,

1420
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:44,519
Speaker 2: what a treat. I'm gonna go from UC Chris, I'm

1421
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 2: gonna go to Loveling and welcome in.

1422
01:22:46,360 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 26: Fran How are you, oh, Lance, I'm doing well. And

1423
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 26: of course Friday Night's and the fun topic. Yes, so

1424
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 26: let me go back here. You're saying you're about ten

1425
01:22:56,200 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 26: or twelve years old. Yep, I'm gonna go back to

1426
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 26: when I was ten or twelve years old, nineteen sixty one,

1427
01:23:01,840 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 26: nineteen sixty two, nineteen sixty three. I hope you see

1428
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 26: Chris is still listening, because you see basketball was number

1429
01:23:09,320 --> 01:23:12,640
Speaker 26: one then. I don't know how he can top that.

1430
01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:15,800
Speaker 26: I mean, this town was crazy. They've won back to

1431
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 26: back championships the Ohio State. I mean I can name

1432
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:24,000
Speaker 26: the guys Weisenham, Bolden, Facker, Yates, Hogue, and then the

1433
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:27,160
Speaker 26: next year when Wilson and Bonham came in, I mean

1434
01:23:27,240 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 26: I was on cloud nine. I lived and died with

1435
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:33,839
Speaker 26: those guys. As I've told you in the past, er five.

1436
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 2: Straight final fours, five extractly and then.

1437
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:40,559
Speaker 26: That's the happiest time in my life. And I'm going

1438
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:42,600
Speaker 26: to come up here with the saddest time on my

1439
01:23:42,760 --> 01:23:46,160
Speaker 26: life nineteen sixty three when they lose to Loyola in

1440
01:23:46,240 --> 01:23:49,240
Speaker 26: the final, could have had three in a row. That

1441
01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:54,320
Speaker 26: was unprecedented for college basketball back then, and I was,

1442
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 26: you know, crushed then that.

1443
01:23:56,920 --> 01:23:59,640
Speaker 9: Jerry, that's it, that was it.

1444
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 26: I rode the ride as long as I could, and

1445
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:07,120
Speaker 26: that's still the happiest of my life.

1446
01:24:07,200 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 7: Let's just leave it at that.

1447
01:24:08,320 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 2: That is perfect.

1448
01:24:09,120 --> 01:24:09,240
Speaker 9: Hey.

1449
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 2: I hope you are well and I hope you'll pass

1450
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 2: on my best to your lovely wife. Phyllis. All right,

1451
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:14,799
Speaker 2: I will. She is listening.

1452
01:24:14,920 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 26: Thank you, Lance for everything.

1453
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,640
Speaker 2: Thanks Fran, take care all right? Yeah, there you go.

1454
01:24:19,080 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 2: Those are two heavy hitters right out of the shoot.

1455
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 2: I like this taking in and running with it, and

1456
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:26,320
Speaker 2: I love the the emotion and the attachment. And there

1457
01:24:26,400 --> 01:24:28,720
Speaker 2: is something too, the ability to just roll. They roll

1458
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 2: off your tongue, the lineups of those teams and the

1459
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:33,719
Speaker 2: happiest time of your life. You don't need to stop

1460
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:35,960
Speaker 2: and think about them, you know. It's like any like

1461
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 2: a conversation with Rose Morgan, Bege Perez, It just boom.

1462
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 2: Let's head to Tip City. Hey Luke, welcome to sports Talk.

1463
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,920
Speaker 11: Hey Lance, I love love the idea of the topic.

1464
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,680
Speaker 11: It's a really creative thank you. So let me let

1465
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,599
Speaker 11: me take you back here for just a minute. Yes,

1466
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:57,559
Speaker 11: I'm I'm thirty two years old, love the Reds, fan

1467
01:24:57,680 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 11: of just about every sport. But I'm gonna give you

1468
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 11: a story that a little bit goofy, but very impactful.

1469
01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:07,080
Speaker 11: So twenty ten, I'm a freshman at Bowling Green State University.

1470
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 11: I'm on the cross country team. My girlfriend at the

1471
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:13,720
Speaker 11: time is on the volleyball team. We were high school sweethearts.

1472
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 11: Like any young freshman boy, I wanted to do whatever

1473
01:25:17,200 --> 01:25:21,639
Speaker 11: I could to impress her, and so my idea, along

1474
01:25:21,720 --> 01:25:23,720
Speaker 11: with somebody, was we were going to do everything we

1475
01:25:23,800 --> 01:25:26,759
Speaker 11: could to give them the best atmosphere at their volleyball

1476
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:31,760
Speaker 11: games throughout the season. That turned into a group called

1477
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 11: the Falcon Fanatics, which today is still the official student

1478
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:38,600
Speaker 11: section of Bowling Green State University. And it started with

1479
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,800
Speaker 11: just a handful of guys by their senior year. Our

1480
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 11: senior year, we were studying attendance records. The best part though,

1481
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 11: was on her senior night they beat Akron. I'm hiding

1482
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 11: kind of in a corner. They're doing their senior night

1483
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,040
Speaker 11: celebrations when of my buddy goes out there and hands

1484
01:25:55,040 --> 01:25:58,920
Speaker 11: out some flowers, gets to my girlfriend and says, unfortunately,

1485
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 11: unfortunately we have run out of flowers, but Luke has

1486
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:05,600
Speaker 11: something for you. I walk out proposed to my girlfriend.

1487
01:26:05,760 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 7: Oh, she says, yes.

1488
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:07,360
Speaker 9: Oh.

1489
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:10,360
Speaker 11: They go on that season to win the MAC Championship

1490
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 11: and it was a Cinderella story. But I'm gonna bring

1491
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,600
Speaker 11: it back to the Reds just for a second. I

1492
01:26:17,720 --> 01:26:21,040
Speaker 11: have said for years I think it would be incredible

1493
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 11: if the Reds had a small section at Great American

1494
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:29,000
Speaker 11: Ballpark for students, college age kids, people who are willing

1495
01:26:29,080 --> 01:26:32,559
Speaker 11: to get the atmosphere going. I'm telling you, something magical

1496
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 11: could happen.

1497
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:36,920
Speaker 2: Oh, Luke, you have hit a home run on this.

1498
01:26:37,120 --> 01:26:39,200
Speaker 2: I had the hair standing up on my arms. That

1499
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:42,120
Speaker 2: was wonderful. That was perfect for this topic. Thank you

1500
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:42,759
Speaker 2: for calling.

1501
01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:44,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, thank you Lance.

1502
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 2: That a great night? Are you as well?

1503
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 31: Oh?

1504
01:26:46,560 --> 01:26:49,840
Speaker 2: My goodness? Three for three out of the shoot? How

1505
01:26:49,960 --> 01:26:51,760
Speaker 2: blessed have I? I got people hanging out with me

1506
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,680
Speaker 2: on a Friday night who are taking part of a

1507
01:26:54,760 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 2: topic we've cooked up and telling fabulous stories. Let me

1508
01:26:58,400 --> 01:27:00,680
Speaker 2: go to colrad Hey, Philip, what he got for me?

1509
01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:02,800
Speaker 12: Hello?

1510
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:06,639
Speaker 23: This is really weak compared to everything of Hardy heard.

1511
01:27:09,640 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 23: My best remember of sports is being a participant in

1512
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:20,000
Speaker 23: eighth grade and church soccer game at church soccer camp.

1513
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:26,240
Speaker 23: I had played soccer in Chicago first, second and third grade,

1514
01:27:26,560 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 23: moved out to the bodies of Indiana, went to a

1515
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 23: church camp in eighth grade for seventh and eighth graders,

1516
01:27:32,920 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 23: and I made like six goals. The other team didn't

1517
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:39,960
Speaker 23: make any at all. And the kids put me on

1518
01:27:40,040 --> 01:27:42,679
Speaker 23: their shoulders, oh, kured me right after the game.

1519
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 4: Yes, you know.

1520
01:27:44,080 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 22: So.

1521
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,759
Speaker 23: I don't know if that counts or not, but as.

1522
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 2: Counts because it means something to you, and you put

1523
01:27:52,360 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 2: a smile on my face. When I hold I can

1524
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,080
Speaker 2: I can imagine you on their shoulders. That's what I'm

1525
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:59,479

01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:22,640
Speaker 2: is in tonight from nine to midnight. But if you're

1534
01:28:22,680 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 2: just tuning in, we're back to the regular swing of

1535
01:28:25,280 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 2: things with sports Talk now on a nightly basis. No

1536
01:28:28,640 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 2: Bengal shows, I'll say, obviously outside of red season, So

1537
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:37,320
Speaker 2: that leaves January February March for just sports talk for me,

1538
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:41,600
Speaker 2: and on Friday nights, that's three hours, always concluding in

1539
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,000
Speaker 2: the eight o'clock hour with the off the beaten Path topic.

1540
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 2: I'm all ears, I've got a stockpile of some I'm

1541
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:50,240
Speaker 2: gonna use in the near future, but if you have one,

1542
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 2: let me know tonight. It's from the movie Eternity, which

1543
01:28:53,600 --> 01:28:58,080
Speaker 2: is a rom com romantic comedy, and it just deals

1544
01:28:58,160 --> 01:29:02,000
Speaker 2: with the after life. It's kind of a copy. I mean,

1545
01:29:02,000 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 2: it's not that serious. It's serious, but it's not that serious.

1546
01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 2: And I just thought, Man, if the people in this

1547
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 2: movie arrived to begin their after life in the happiest

1548
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 2: moment of their life, I said, if I ask sports

1549
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,840
Speaker 2: fans what that moment would be in terms of the

1550
01:29:18,880 --> 01:29:20,880
Speaker 2: happiest moment of their life, what would they give me?

1551
01:29:21,040 --> 01:29:23,880

1564
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 2: moment in your life as a sports fan. If I

1565
01:30:13,200 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 2: could give you one, if I could give it to

1566
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:20,920
Speaker 2: you from a a dad standpoint with Casey and Peyton,

1567
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:25,519
Speaker 2: it would be Peyton being called up as a freshman

1568
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:28,840
Speaker 2: to play in the state final four for Simon Kenton

1569
01:30:28,920 --> 01:30:32,719
Speaker 2: in the high school soccer final four. As a freshman,

1570
01:30:32,800 --> 01:30:34,679
Speaker 2: she got not only called up to be on the roster,

1571
01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,680
Speaker 2: got into the game and I'll never forget and I'm

1572
01:30:37,720 --> 01:30:40,120
Speaker 2: getting shows again, never forget sitting up in the stands

1573
01:30:40,160 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 2: and seeing her get up off the bench, starting to

1574
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:45,600
Speaker 2: warm up and then going into the game and just

1575
01:30:45,720 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 2: the the sense of joy and excitement and also like nervousness, like,

1576
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:52,519
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, she's in a state final game and

1577
01:30:52,560 --> 01:30:54,320
Speaker 2: she's a freshman. I said, just kind of get in,

1578
01:30:54,840 --> 01:30:58,040
Speaker 2: do your thing, and get out. I was so nervous,

1579
01:30:58,400 --> 01:31:01,519
Speaker 2: but I was so happy that day for her to

1580
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:05,080
Speaker 2: experience that, and with Casey, it would be the combination

1581
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,720
Speaker 2: of walking out of this place on the night where

1582
01:31:07,800 --> 01:31:09,720
Speaker 2: he sent me a text that he had made the

1583
01:31:09,960 --> 01:31:14,080
Speaker 2: juniversity baseball team at Simon Kenton and the sense of

1584
01:31:14,439 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 2: happiness at that point. Those would be ones that come

1585
01:31:18,160 --> 01:31:22,040
Speaker 2: to mind from a father standpoint. Let's go back to

1586
01:31:22,080 --> 01:31:24,799
Speaker 2: the phones five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand,

1587
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:27,400
Speaker 2: one eight hundred, the big one. How about union we go?

1588
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:36,559
Speaker 2: Hey Brian, welcome, Hey Brian, good he mean Lance, great topic,

1589
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:38,920
Speaker 2: Thank you? What do you got for me?

1590
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 18: I will head to a direction which I think you

1591
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:45,880
Speaker 18: can relate to at some point, and that is having

1592
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:49,280
Speaker 18: a child with a with a cancer diagnosis, which I

1593
01:31:49,400 --> 01:31:52,680
Speaker 18: did have one of a son that was diagnosed as

1594
01:31:52,680 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 18: a freshman in high school. Let's fast forward to March

1595
01:31:56,280 --> 01:31:59,360
Speaker 18: of twenty one, as a walk on at the University

1596
01:31:59,360 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 18: of Cincinnati baseball team, sitting up in the so you

1597
01:32:04,040 --> 01:32:07,360
Speaker 18: know how sports are, not everyone makes the travel team. Well,

1598
01:32:07,439 --> 01:32:12,479
Speaker 18: his first travel was to across town to Zavier. So

1599
01:32:13,720 --> 01:32:16,400
Speaker 18: my wife and I go, keep in mind, this is COVID,

1600
01:32:16,880 --> 01:32:18,880
Speaker 18: so we're staying on top of the hill on victory

1601
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:23,080
Speaker 18: Parkway watching the baseball game. Well, Cincinnati's up nineteen to three.

1602
01:32:23,720 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 7: Well what do they do?

1603
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:27,160
Speaker 18: They call left in number seventy seven into the game.

1604
01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 18: So you talk about a problem. I'm going from high

1605
01:32:30,560 --> 01:32:35,840
Speaker 18: school to Zaba University and Cincinnati. In his first travel day,

1606
01:32:36,479 --> 01:32:39,799
Speaker 18: it was I mean, I like the rads, the Bangles,

1607
01:32:39,840 --> 01:32:42,679
Speaker 18: Notre Dame. But this is nothing like seeing your child

1608
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:48,960
Speaker 18: compete after such a complex, harder illness. And then then

1609
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:51,719
Speaker 18: we fast forward and played five years at the university

1610
01:32:51,720 --> 01:32:53,720
Speaker 18: since then graduated in twenty twenty four. So it was

1611
01:32:53,720 --> 01:32:55,920
Speaker 18: a great, great, awesome feelings.

1612
01:32:56,040 --> 01:32:59,080
Speaker 2: Oh what a great story. Thank you for sharing that.

1613
01:32:59,479 --> 01:33:02,760
Speaker 2: Congratulate and have a great weekend. All right, appreciate it.

01:33:02,840 --> 01:33:05,960
Speaker 2: Last thank you man hitting home runs tonight. Hitting home runs.

1615
01:33:06,160 --> 01:33:07,720

1616
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 2: was like passing on tips of things we discover. We

1617
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:14,320
Speaker 2: went to a really cool coffee shop in Union two

1618
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:17,679
Speaker 2: weekends ago called the Black Goose. If you're a coffee person.

1619
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:20,160
Speaker 2: There ats a coffee shop and bakery and like antique store.

1620
01:33:20,479 --> 01:33:23,320
Speaker 2: And we found a butcher. We hit so many different

1621
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,880
Speaker 2: butchers around this area. There's a place called the Strip

1622
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:27,880
Speaker 2: in Union, which is really good and by the way,

1623
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 2: they have chicken tenders that they fry in tallow. It's

1624
01:33:31,600 --> 01:33:35,640
Speaker 2: just unbelievably good. My tips of the night. I like

1625
01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 2: when I get tips, and I like to give tips.

1626
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 2: So those are my two tips of the night. How

1627
01:33:39,760 --> 01:33:42,439
Speaker 2: about Springfield? Hey, Mike, tell me a story.

1628
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:44,920
Speaker 10: Well, I tell you.

1629
01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:47,320
Speaker 32: You and I've talked in the past. You and I

1630
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:50,200
Speaker 32: are almost the same, exact same age. I just turned

1631
01:33:50,240 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 32: sixty here a couple of weeks ago, so we chewed

1632
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,240
Speaker 32: the same ground at the same time. And if you

1633
01:33:56,400 --> 01:34:00,160
Speaker 32: think about it, I mean, I've got so many I

1634
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:02,840
Speaker 32: could say were my greatest. But just think about in

1635
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:09,000
Speaker 32: the era which we grew up, pre Internet, pre you know,

1636
01:34:09,160 --> 01:34:11,439
Speaker 32: all the other things that distract us. All we had

1637
01:34:11,640 --> 01:34:15,120
Speaker 32: was the TV and the radio or going to something

1638
01:34:15,479 --> 01:34:20,000
Speaker 32: in person. And you know, I'm just sitting there thinking

1639
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:24,880
Speaker 32: and random ortar here the things that I experienced, sports

1640
01:34:24,920 --> 01:34:25,240
Speaker 32: were big.

1641
01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:26,680
Speaker 2: I'm a baby of seven.

1642
01:34:26,479 --> 01:34:27,840
Speaker 18: Boys and.

1643
01:34:29,720 --> 01:34:30,519
Speaker 10: Sports were big.

1644
01:34:30,920 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 32: So I mean I started out I barely remember it

1645
01:34:34,040 --> 01:34:36,760
Speaker 32: that I became a Miami Dolphins fan because of the

1646
01:34:36,840 --> 01:34:39,960
Speaker 32: seventy two seasons and because they had.

1647
01:34:39,880 --> 01:34:41,599
Speaker 7: A running back named Mercury Morris.

1648
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:47,480
Speaker 32: My last name is and so U so a seventeen

1649
01:34:47,640 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 32: oh and o season, and then came the Big Red Machine,

1650
01:34:51,880 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 32: and then came Larry Bird in Magic Johnson, and then

1651
01:34:57,560 --> 01:35:01,680
Speaker 32: came the Celtics and the Lakers, and in there the

1652
01:35:01,760 --> 01:35:04,519
Speaker 32: Bengals of course in the eighty one game, in the

1653
01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:08,080
Speaker 32: eighty nine game, and then Michael Jordan comes around, and

1654
01:35:08,200 --> 01:35:13,080
Speaker 32: then the the pros playing in the Olympics, and uh

1655
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:15,920
Speaker 32: then then you know Michael Jordan and the Bulls in

1656
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,280
Speaker 32: the ninety I mean, just think of all of that

1657
01:35:18,520 --> 01:35:20,840
Speaker 32: was pre internet, and internet really didn't hit so what

1658
01:35:21,040 --> 01:35:26,680
Speaker 32: ninety five and we just lived the greatest in the

1659
01:35:26,760 --> 01:35:30,160
Speaker 32: greatest period of time period. And now you throw in

1660
01:35:30,280 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 32: there to nineteen eighty. I was our county's scoring champion

1661
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 32: in basketball and my team won the county championship in

1662
01:35:40,479 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 32: the eighth grade year, and and it just it was

1663
01:35:44,439 --> 01:35:48,919
Speaker 32: just one thing after another after another wrapped around sports

1664
01:35:51,080 --> 01:35:54,360
Speaker 32: until until the PC crowd and the lawyers and everybody

1665
01:35:54,439 --> 01:35:57,439
Speaker 32: else took it over. We we just when it when

1666
01:35:57,520 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 32: it came to sports. I mean the crowd that I

1667
01:35:59,840 --> 01:36:02,360
Speaker 32: ran with, I mean everything was about sports.

1685
01:36:52,360 --> 01:36:55,760
Speaker 31: what I could about the details. Back then it was

1686
01:36:55,800 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 31: hard to get information. But that was a big moment

1687
01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 31: in my life at that point in time. But then
