From Cincinnati. 2 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 3 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,480 Speaker 2: Welcome back, Cincy three to sixty. Thanks for listening on 4 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. 5 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 2: We'll get to some of your phone calls. Our phone 6 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 2: lines are our up and running, so we'll take some 7 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: phone calls here. As an hour two gets a little 8 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 2: bit further underway, let's talk a little bit about the 9 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,840 Speaker 2: Pro Football Hall of Fame class of twenty twenty six. 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 2: Those who did make the Hall of Fame. Drew Brees 11 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:46,159 Speaker 2: and his first year eligible is a Hall of Famer. 12 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Larry Fitzgerald in his first year eligible is a Hall 13 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 2: of Famer as dominant at his position as you can 14 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: get right here from Cincinnati, Ohio, Saint Xavier High School, 15 00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: Boston College to the Carolina Panthers. Luke Keikley is a 16 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 2: Hall of Famer. He is a seven time Pro Bowl selection, 17 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 2: five time All Pro in an All Decade selection. Also, 18 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: he was the Defensive Player of the Year in twenty thirteen. 19 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 2: That was just his second year in the league, so 20 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 2: he went defensive rookie of the Year and then Defensive 21 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: Player of the Year. Played all three downs, went sideline 22 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: to sideline. He had one hundred tackles at least in 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: all eight of his NFL seasons, led the league in 24 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: tackling twice. And how about this, deflected sixty seven passes 25 00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,680 Speaker 2: and had eighteen interceptions. Upon his retirement, Luke Keigley said, 26 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: there was only one way to play the game since 27 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 2: I was a little kid. Play fast, play physical, and 28 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:50,080 Speaker 2: play strong. So well deserving not only on the field 29 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 2: but for the person that he is off the field. 30 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 2: Luke Keighley is a Hall of Famer, Adam Vinteri is 31 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: a Hall of Famer, and Roger Craig is a Hall 32 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 2: of Famer. That unfortunately meant last night that both Willie 33 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 2: Anderson and Ken Anderson were not selected this year into 34 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: the NFL Hall of Fame's it feels like more of 35 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: a blow each year because it feels like as the 36 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: years go by, maybe you lose that opportunity a little 37 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: bit more. My thoughts on ten Anderson, I thought Mike 38 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 2: Petralia summed it up pretty well. He says that Ken 39 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 2: Anderson's not in the Hall of Fame because there are 40 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: too many people who don't know football and don't know 41 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: what they're watching. Beyond that, beyond his Hall of Fame 42 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: worthy statistics, as Petrellia said, he literally helped redefine offensive football. 43 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: The late Bill Walsh would tell you this much. He 44 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: chose Ken Anderson to run his new offense ten years 45 00:02:57,240 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 2: before he knew of Joe Montana the process as a joke. 46 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 2: And we've learned that over the last couple of weeks. 47 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 2: Whether it's Ken Anderson, whether it's Willy Anderson. I think overall, Austin, 48 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 2: it's just tough to know that there are so many 49 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 2: players who impacted the organization and the city of Cincinnati 50 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 2: in such a way that are not being recognized at 51 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: the highest level. And there is a true frustration that 52 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: comes with that. And I understand that frustration from people 53 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 2: as well. But you kind of just you move on 54 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 2: and you hope that next year is the year. 55 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: Yeah. 56 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 4: I don't get the feeling that Ken is going to 57 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 4: get in just based off of the way things work, 58 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: and maybe there will be changes to the process for 59 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 4: the Senior Committee moving forward. And even one of the voters, 60 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: Mike Sando, who writes for The Athletic in Seattle replied 61 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 4: to my tweet last night and said he thinks Willy 62 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 4: Anderson has better odds than Ken Anderson moving forward, and 63 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 4: he's one of those voters. And on that panel there 64 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: are Hall of famers Dan Fouts, Tony Dungee, James Lofton, 65 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 4: Bill Pollian, people that have played and worked in the 66 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 4: NFL for a really long time, People that do know 67 00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 4: football are a part of that. But again, I think 68 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: the biggest issue is the process itself when it comes 69 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 4: to the Senior Committee. And there were you know, I 70 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 4: posted this long thing last night about about Ken Anderson, 71 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: and there were multiple voters that liked that tweet that 72 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 4: agreed with me about Ken Anderson. And so I think 73 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 4: that says something like there there's a reason why craft In, 74 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 4: Belichick and ELC Greenwood and Ken Anderson, all those guys 75 00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: didn't get in is because of the way that the 76 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 4: voting is set up and votes work against other guys 77 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,440 Speaker 4: instead of in favor of the dudes. As far as 78 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: Willie Anderson and is concerned, that I think, and this 79 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: is not to take away from Ken Anderson, is egregious 80 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 4: as hell. There was no more dominant or right tackle 81 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 4: in the history of the NFL nobody, I mean, just 82 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 4: as good as Willie Anderson. And in his era there 83 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 4: was nobody better and it wasn't even close. And part 84 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: of the issue with the Hall of Fame I have 85 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: right now is that you never see offensive lineman get in. 86 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 4: I mean, Joe Thomas was the last one to get in. 87 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: It's they barely ever get in. And I don't quite 88 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 4: understand that now, you know, he's the good news with 89 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 4: Willy is he's automatically a finalist again next year. 90 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: Along with what Marshayanda and Terrell sucks. 91 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, and again Marshall Yanda another dude that very well 92 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: could be in the Hall of Fame. And now you're 93 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 4: going to start getting guys like Andrew Whitworth. Andrew Whitworth 94 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: is going to be a first time eligible player next year. 95 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 4: Ben Roethlisberger is going to be a first time lay. 96 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 5: Peterson. 97 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 4: I mean, I think looking at that list, like right away, Gronk, 98 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: you know he's getting in. I don't know about the 99 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: rest of him. I don't know if Antonio Brown would 100 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 4: get in. I don't know if they'd put Whitworth in 101 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 4: right away. I'm not sure. So maybe he has a 102 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 4: pretty decent chance next year, but I really thought this 103 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: year was the year because I felt like, based off 104 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 4: of the people that were in there, I thought Venetia 105 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,720 Speaker 4: would wait a year, but they put him in right away. 106 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: I was a little surprised by that, only the third 107 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: kicker inducted in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. But 108 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: I think overall, fans of this franchise feel like no 109 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 4: one at the national level or the people that vote 110 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 4: at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Bengals fans don't 111 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 4: feel seen, and Bengals players don't feel seen and don't 112 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: don't feel respected. And part of that has to do 113 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 4: with the fact that for a while they didn't win, 114 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: especially in the Willie Anderson era, they didn't win. And 115 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 4: when I think there's this idea that you're out of sight, 116 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 4: out of mind, I think that's changed over the last 117 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 4: several years, especially like the Bengals are in the spotlight 118 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 4: now more than they've ever been, and that's good and 119 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: that will help them, and you know, Jamar Chase is 120 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 4: going to be in the Hall of Fame and Joe 121 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 4: Burrow and those guys down the line, like it'll help 122 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: them then, but for a while, you know, the Bengals 123 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 4: were a little bit out of sight, out of mind, 124 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: and unfortunately, I think it's hurt them. 125 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 2: Yeah. 126 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 4: I don't think it's like an intentional thing. I just 127 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,600 Speaker 4: think it's hurt them. 128 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: Among those other twenty twenty seven first time eligible candidates 129 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: you mentioned Andrew Whitworth, the Killer Bees, Le'Veon Bell, Antonio Brown, 130 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: Ben Roethlisberger. How much does Antonio Brown's trouble off the 131 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: field impact his chances to get in? He was a 132 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: seven time Pro bowler. 133 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, four years in a row, all Pro four years 134 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 4: in a row was back and forth between him and 135 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: Julio Jones and Bengals fans here would say aj Green, 136 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,800 Speaker 4: but between those guys for who's the best wide receiver 137 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 4: in the NFL, and that I think means a lot. 138 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 4: But you can compare him to Chad Johnson. Ocho Cinco 139 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 4: had a four year stretch where there was like I 140 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 4: think he led the AFC and receiving yards for four 141 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 4: years in a row. Yep, that dude was unbelievable and 142 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 4: then it just kind of stopped. Same thing happened to 143 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: Antonio Brown. 144 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: Yeah. 145 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 4: The way things went in Las Vegas, the way things 146 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 4: have gone went in Tampa and the other places. I 147 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 4: think he will get in eventually, but I don't think 148 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 4: it'll be soon. 149 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 2: Does Cam Newton have a case? No, I don't think 150 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 2: so either. Super Bowl sixty happens on Sunday. I have 151 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: two quarterback questions for you. Does a win on Sunday 152 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: make Sam Darnold an elite quarterback? 153 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 3: No? 154 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 2: I don't think so either. Although his stats over the 155 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,679 Speaker 2: last two years, if you take away the melt down 156 00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 2: at the end of last year and this year, he's 157 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: been a really, really solid quarterback. I don't think elite though. 158 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: And then they had a conversation earlier on first take, 159 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: is Drake May playing with house money? What do you mean, like, 160 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 2: is this house money for Drake May? Because Steven A 161 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: said yes, and Ryan Clark said yes, and then Cam 162 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: Newton and dan Orlowsky yesterday were kind of the voice 163 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 2: of reason of well, you could make the case for 164 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 2: a guy like Cam Newton, and Cam said as much today. 165 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: He said, listen, if you'd have told me when we 166 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 2: went to the Super Bowl that there is not a 167 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 2: chance I would be back, I would have told you 168 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: you were crazy. I knew I was going to go 169 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 2: back to the Super Bowl. Yet I never did. And 170 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,559 Speaker 2: he lays the list out of you know Marino and 171 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 2: threw Joe Burrow in there on the list of you know. 172 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 2: You could have made the argument when Joe Burrow went 173 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 2: to the Super Bowl, you could have said, well, this 174 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 2: is house money. Joe Burrow is going to be back 175 00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 2: to more Super Bowls. He hasn't been. I don't I 176 00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 2: think there's a thing is house money when it comes 177 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: to playing in the Super Bowl. 178 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 4: No, I don't think sve it's a dumb talking point. 179 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I just I don't. I don't think that's there anymore. 180 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 2: Now again, if if Drake May wins on Sunday at 181 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: his age, it resets the whole trajectory and expectation of 182 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: his career. I'll say that. 183 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 4: I mean, think about it from your perspective as a player. 184 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: You let's say you're playing in the Super Bowl. Are 185 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 4: you thinking I'm good if I don't win this? 186 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 2: Well, that's what Cam's Newton point. Cam Newton's point was, 187 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:33,560 Speaker 2: even after we lost the Super Bowl, I thought to myself, 188 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: I'll be back. 189 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't. 190 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:35,720 Speaker 2: I don't good. 191 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 4: I don't like I don't agree with that mentality. And 192 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 4: he never came back. He also didn't dive on a 193 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: loose ball in the Super Bowl. 194 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 2: Well, we also think the same of Like I thought 195 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 2: the same of Joe Burrow, like after the Super Bowl, like, well, 196 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 2: Joe's gonna be back to a super Bowl. The Bengals 197 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 2: will be back. 198 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:47,920 Speaker 3: Yeah. 199 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 4: But I don't I don't think Joe put yourself in 200 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 4: the in the mindset of the player. I don't think 201 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow is looking at like, Oh, I'm gonna We're 202 00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 4: gonna keep going back to the Super Bowl over and 203 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 4: over and over again. I think in the moment, you're thinking, 204 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: this is the most important game of my life. This 205 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 4: will change my life. We have to win this game now. 206 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 4: Maybe after the game and down the line, you're thinking, Okay, 207 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,960 Speaker 4: we can get back there, like I know what it 208 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,680 Speaker 4: takes now and you have confidence. But like in the 209 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 4: moment leading up to this week, you're not thinking, yeah, 210 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 4: we're about to go on a run of a bunch 211 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 4: of Super Bowls. I don't think anybody thinks that way. 212 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 2: For the game itself. Who's your pick? 213 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 4: Seattle twenty seven, New England seventeen. 214 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 2: I'm going to say Seattle twenty four, New England twenty one. 215 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 2: I think I think New England covers the number. I 216 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 2: think Seattle wins the game. I think it's more of 217 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 2: a late score to cut up to three for New England. 218 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: My biggest thing with this game, it just feels to 219 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 2: me like the front four of Seattle is going to 220 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,280 Speaker 2: provide enough pressure and when need to. I know you 221 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 2: highlighted this as well. We talked about this yesterday. Seattle 222 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 2: is not not against bringing pressure from the secondary, but 223 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,079 Speaker 2: I think early in the game they're gonna kind of 224 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: let their front four do their work. You look at 225 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 2: a rookie left tackle in the Super Bowl, Will Campbell 226 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: starting for the New England Patriots, has a lot of 227 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: pressure on him. I look at the front four for Seattle, 228 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: and I think that becomes a serious, serious problem for 229 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 2: the New England Patriots offense. So give me Seattle twenty 230 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: four because I do think the Patriots defense, I think 231 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 2: Christian Gonzalez Vus Jackson Smith and Jigba is gonna be awesome. 232 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: Who's your Super Bowl MVP? 233 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 4: I think the betting favorite and the smart play would 234 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: be Sam Darnold. But I'm gonna say Rashid Schiet. 235 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,480 Speaker 2: That's such a a he was my kind of off 236 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 2: the radar pick as well, because he can affect the 237 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: game as a runner, as a receiver, and a return guy. 238 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 4: If there's a specialty touchdown. 239 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 2: And I think I think you're gonna I think it's 240 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 2: gonna be more low scoring. I don't think you're gonna 241 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 2: have a quarterback though, for three hundred yards and four touchdowns. 242 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 2: I think Shaheed's ability like he could very well easily 243 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 2: go over one hundred receiving rushing yards. You already saw 244 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 2: the kick return earlier in the playoffs, He's had a 245 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 2: punt return. He's he's kind of done at all. I 246 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: think he's a very sneaky long like. I don't know 247 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 2: what his odds are right now to be the Super 248 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,079 Speaker 2: Bowl MVP, but I would imagine he's pretty much of 249 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: a long shot that you could probably get some pretty 250 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: pretty good odds on. I mean, it's hard to go 251 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:38,319 Speaker 2: against quarterback because if if Seattle wins going away, I 252 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:40,319 Speaker 2: think I think it's gonna be Donald because I think 253 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 2: you look at the loss of Zach Charbonnet and how 254 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 2: much can Kenneth Walker do. I think more will put 255 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 2: on Donald's shoulders. I think New England has a clear 256 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: advantage in the run game, so maybe you get something there. 257 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 2: But I do think that that a Shaheed MVP for 258 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,439 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl has a chance to hit. So we're 259 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: in an agreement. There any other super Bowl talking points 260 00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 2: that we haven't got to this week, I. 261 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 4: Don't think so. I think it's pretty much summed up. 262 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 4: And that's two words, right, Yes, super Bowl is two words. 263 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 4: It's very important that people understand that. Last chance that 264 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 4: we get that outre drives me nuts. Last chance Rashid Shaheed. 265 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 2: My biggest pet peeve is plus thirty three hundred right 266 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: now to win MVP. Those are pretty good odds. 267 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: Speaking of MVP, I'm meant to bring this up earlier 268 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 4: when we were talking about the awards. Did you see 269 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 4: the current odds to win the MVP next year? 270 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 2: No. 271 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 4: In the NFL, Josh Allen is the favorite at plus 272 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,520 Speaker 4: six hundred, Lamar Jackson at plus seven to fifty, Drake 273 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 4: May at plus eight fifty. Joe Burrow is fourth at 274 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 4: plus one thousand. 275 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 2: Seems like a pretty good sprinkle. 276 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 4: Herbert and Mahomes are next at a eleven hundred. Stafford, 277 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:04,080 Speaker 4: the reigning champ, plus fourteen hundred. 278 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 2: Interesting those top two odds leaders will be doing it 279 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: with new systems and coaches in place. 280 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 4: I don't think there is a single non quarterback in 281 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 4: the top twenty who. 282 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: Would be the top out of the Pukah b Jhon 283 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: Robinson probably I cut the list off after tract twenty, 284 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 2: But I mean, I'm looking at Tyler Shuck as plus 285 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: ten thousand. I'm looking at a list right now that's 286 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 2: got Jackson, Dart and Tyler Shuck with better odds than 287 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 2: Bijon and Puka Akua. 288 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 4: Yeah that's what mine says too. 289 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, all right. Uh, we have a ton of phone 290 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 2: calls that we'll try to get to when we return, 291 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 2: and then we'll turn it to Bob Man Jean all 292 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: here in our number three since he three to sixty. 293 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 294 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: Is ESPN fifteen thirty. 295 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 4: Tony a quick piece of Reds news before we get 296 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,720 Speaker 4: back to the phone calls. We are waiting on the 297 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:05,720 Speaker 4: results of two arbitration cases for the Reds, Yes, Tyler 298 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: Stevenson being one, Graham Ashcraft being the other. Jeff Passion. 299 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 4: ESPN reports that Graham Ashcraft has won his arbitration case 300 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 4: against the Reds. That makes the players five and zero 301 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 4: so far in arbitration. There are six cases remaining and 302 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 4: two are awaiting decisions apparently, so not sure exactly when 303 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 4: we will hear something on Tyler Stevenson, but Graham Ashcraft 304 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:33,720 Speaker 4: won his. 305 00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: There you go, let's go. Well done to the phone 306 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: lines for the first time today.

Hey, Hey, how's it going. 309 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 6: God? My opinion about the Hall of Fame I think 310 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 6: is watered down. You know, when I look at a 311 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 6: Hall of Fame players, like in his air that he played, 312 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 6: was he one of the top one or two players 313 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 6: at his position? 314 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 5: You know? 315 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 6: I think unfortunately for Ken Anderson, I think what you 316 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 6: got to ask yourself with him? Was he one of 317 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 6: the top three quarterbacks in his ear? 318 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 2: Sure? 319 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 6: I mean, but I think three things hurt him. When 320 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 6: Bill Walsh left and he had that was three seasons 321 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 6: seventy seven, seventy eight, seventy nine. Well, he didn't have 322 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 6: not so good seasons, sure, and he came back and 323 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 6: won the MVP in eighty one, but he had a 324 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 6: three year stretch where he didn't he didn't do so well, 325 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 6: and the Biggles even drafted a quarterback to take his plates, 326 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 6: Jack Thompson. And then the other thing I think hurt 327 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 6: him if he wins that Super Bowl in eighty eight. 328 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 6: I think that might have pushed him over. 329 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 2: Yep. 330 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 6: So that I just think he has a couple of 331 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 6: things working against them. As far as Willie Anderson, I 332 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 6: asked you this before, do they Yeah? Does that? Could 333 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 6: maybe think more of left tackles good right tackles, because 334 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 6: I think if he was a left tackle, I think 335 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 6: he would have been in Yeah. 336 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,560 Speaker 2: And I think we'll see that with Witworth coming in 337 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty seven, of how quickly he can get 338 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: in and maybe, you know, gather a little bit more 339 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 2: to that theory of the left tackle position versus the right. 340 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,199 Speaker 4: I think there is something there. I also think there 341 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 4: are two different ways to balance that out. Number one, 342 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 4: like looking as the game has evolved over the last 343 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 4: twenty years, pass rushers have been have turned into mutants 344 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 4: right and you pass the ball constantly, and has made 345 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 4: both of those tackle spots really important. And I think 346 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 4: for a while the idea was the left tackle is 347 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 4: important because he protects the passer. But I also would 348 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 4: argue that during Willie Anderson's era, which was a run 349 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,640 Speaker 4: first era of football, the right tackle was equally as 350 00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 4: important in the run game as the left tackle was 351 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 4: in the pass game. And when you look at the 352 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 4: players that ran behind will Anderson, especially somebody like Corey Dillon, 353 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: the seasons that Rudy Johnson had as well, I think 354 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 4: that is a big part of his legacy as well. 355 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 4: That gets overlooked. 356 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: Well, well, I think the big thing. 357 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 6: Wow, I would vote him in. He could run, bock 358 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 6: block and. 359 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: He could pas block, yes, exactly. 360 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 6: Well, he might give up one or two sacks in 361 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 6: a season, so it was hard to get him around him. 362 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 4: So I think the official count is thirteen sacks in 363 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 4: sixteen seasons, yeah, or sixteen sacks in thirteen seasons or 364 00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 4: something like that. 365 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 6: Yeah. I think he could do both. So I think 366 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 6: eventually he'll get in. But I'm wondering about Ken Anders 367 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 6: and that could go. That can go either way, So 368 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,840 Speaker 6: I'll get off in a little bit rest of itself. 369 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: Mark, I appreciate it, man, Thank you, John. What's going on? 370 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 7: Is Willie Anderson still available to play? Because those numbers 371 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 7: are incredible. 372 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 2: I think he could right now I think he could 373 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: come give you at least a couple snaps. 374 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 7: Yeah, thirteen sacking sixteen seasons, that's incredible. I'm all with you, 375 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 7: guys on Joe Burrow MVP twenty twenty six to make 376 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,760 Speaker 7: up my big losses in twenty twenty five, and then 377 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: plus on thousand. It's the better spread than it was 378 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 7: last year. 379 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 4: So let's go in. 380 00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 7: As a famous man once said, you can't fall off 381 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 7: the bat bed if you sleep on the floor, So 382 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 7: go at it again. We're all in on that one. 383 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 3: As far as the. 384 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 7: Game on Sunday, I think it's gonna be Patriots twenty 385 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 7: to seventeen, low scoring game. Both defenses are better than 386 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 7: the offense is when it comes to the trenches. I 387 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,719 Speaker 7: think it's gonna be come for either team to run 388 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 7: the football. But there was one stat that really stood 389 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 7: out to me, guys, is that Seattle's thirty first in 390 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 7: offense when facing third and long. The Patriots are first 391 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 7: defensively when facing third and long. That's a major difference 392 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 7: between the two teams. If they can get Seattle on 393 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 7: third eight, third, nine, maybe you start to get some turnovers. 394 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:48,119 Speaker 7: And before I go Marcus Jones, I think is a 395 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 7: great long shot to win MVP at sixty to one. 396 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 7: He returns punts as well as where she's he does, 397 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 7: and he's also a defensive back who may get a 398 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 7: pick six out of it. So I would say Patriots 399 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 7: with the points, Patriots money line and under, and Marcus 400 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 7: Jones to win MVP and UH. With my betting record 401 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 7: from this year, I'm sure people will. 402 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: Tail the other way. Tailor, John, have a great one man, 403 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 2: enjoy the Super Bowl, Sir. I think if it feels 404 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: like in this soup with both of these defenses, it 405 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 2: wouldn't be a bad idea to have a defensive touchdown 406 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 2: bet on Sunday. I mean, both these defenses can force turnovers, 407 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: both can score points. I think that'd be a nice 408 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,959 Speaker 2: little sprinkle. Mike, what's happening? 409 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,440 Speaker 8: Okay before that, now, give me a little time since 410 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,640 Speaker 8: Marcus burn everything up. 411 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,360 Speaker 2: Okay, we only got a few minutes, Mike, stupid. 412 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 8: Well okay, souvenir, what do you guys want? You guys 413 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,359 Speaker 8: want anything for the Super Bowl or not. 414 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 4: You don't have to get us anything, Mike. 415 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm great. We appreciate greatly. 416 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 8: Zorry, what do you want? I don't want anything. 417 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:57,359 Speaker 2: I'm good. I haven't. I haven't even looked at what 418 00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 2: they would have to me. Unless my team's in it. 419 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 2: I probably wouldn't get much out of him. 420 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 4: Mike. If if you insist on getting us something, the 421 00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: first thing you see that makes you think of us, 422 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 4: it is all right, I like, all. 423 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 8: Right, give me some latitude, good idea. Okay. Roger Craig 424 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 8: probably got in because he was on a dominant multi 425 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 8: super Bowl team. You know that Larry Fitzgerald. I didn't 426 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 8: realize he's second all time on the list of the 427 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 8: total yardist behind Jerry Rice, which is pretty incredible when 428 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 8: and he also played his whole career with the with 429 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 8: the Cardinals, which is impressive in this day and a. 430 00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 4: And a of a lot of bad quarterbacks too. 431 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, until Warner came along, right. 432 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 4: Warner and Palmer were about the only good one years. 433 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 8: I'm with you. I got Seattle winning this thing big 434 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 8: thirty one fourteen. Uh, I got the Marcus Lawrence being 435 00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 8: if there's a weirdo, I'm went John about Marcus Jones 436 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 8: if New England would win, but England, but I got 437 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 8: I got the Marcus Lawrence with four sacks in an 438 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 8: intercept and if he don't win it, then Kenneth Walker 439 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,000 Speaker 8: will because he's gonna have over one hundred yards. 440 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean with without without Zach Charbonnay, you 441 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,120 Speaker 2: think he's going to handle a lot more of the workload. 442 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 2: New England's going to probably try to double Jackson Smith 443 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: and Jig but should open some stuff up for Kenneth Walker, 444 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 2: I would think. 445 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 5: So. 446 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 8: I was looking at these all time right tackles and 447 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 8: I know you got to go. It's pretty impressive list 448 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 8: of all time best right tackles Forrest Briggs at the 449 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 8: top of the list, and ray Field right from Dallas, 450 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 8: Jackie Slater from the Rams, Ron Nicks, who I remember 451 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 8: him vividly for the Chargers, and Dan's remember Dan beardof 452 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:38,840 Speaker 8: Dark the announcer. 453 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 2: He was a tell of a right tackle with Cardinal. 454 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 8: Saint Louis Cardinals. And that's all I got. Guys, though, 455 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 8: thank you and enjoy the game. 456 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,080 Speaker 2: I'll text you from the Super Bowl, Mike, enjoy the 457 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, man.

It was it was about Aaron 468 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 9: Donald and they were saying and War's that was like, well, 469 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 9: who who do he? Who was he going against? So 470 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 9: Warsatt was saying he bought to win the Edisons, so 471 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,960 Speaker 9: that let me know what should. 472 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 2: Be Yeah, yeah, I know. Willie is so respected by 473 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,439 Speaker 2: others that played the game in the NFL, and I do. 474 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 2: As for for people that think the narrative is the 475 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 2: Bengals they didn't win enough, I think a great comparison 476 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 2: is Joe Thomas, who was great and into yeah, great, 477 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 2: great player but never won anything in Cleveland but still 478 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,760 Speaker 2: a a an easy Hall of Famer. I think that's 479 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 2: a good comparison, right. 480 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 9: I appreciate it, Gay, Yes, thank you. 481 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 3: Appreciate you. 482 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. Also, what I was on the phone talking to 483 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: to Terrell when you were talking about the defensive player 484 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 4: to score, Yeah, I almost actually I believe I hit 485 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 4: Cooper Cup last year he had to pick six. Oh yeah, 486 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 4: and I had or not Cooper Cup, Cooper Dejene with 487 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 4: the Eagles, and I had Cooper Degene to win Super 488 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 4: Bowl MVP. 489 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 2: Ooh. 490 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 4: And I thought for sure that I was going to 491 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 4: cash in on that bad boy. And then the Chiefs 492 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,679 Speaker 4: were just awful and couldn't score and the Eagles just 493 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 4: poured it on and ended up going. 494 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 2: To hurt and taking Dejene.

Luckily, you guys aren't 521 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 2: worried about having to take a trip anywhere. You play 522 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 2: at home on Sunday against UCF, so a couple home 523 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,439 Speaker 2: days here. What I did want to ask, we're getting 524 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: the opening ceremonies of the Olympics happening today in Milan, 525 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: but some of the events have already started, and some 526 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 2: of the training events have already started. And one that 527 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 2: happened a couple hours ago revolved around Lindsay Vonn, the 528 00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 2: forty one year old who is coming back from one 529 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 2: week ago tearing her ACL. She is still competing. And 530 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: what I thought was even more remarkable about this is 531 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 2: her event, the women's downhill. It feels like that's an 532 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 2: event that's going to put a lot of pressure on 533 00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 2: the lower body. So let's just start with the how 534 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,920 Speaker 2: one week after tearing an ACL, how is Lindsay Vaughn 535 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 2: still able to compete in the Olympics. 536 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 5: Years ago, we did a study when I was at 537 00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:46,480 Speaker 5: a company called since A Sports Medicine, and we looked 538 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 5: really closely at kids that tore their acls and what 539 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 5: percent needed surgery, what percent didn't need surgery. And you know, again, 540 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 5: there is a small population of athletes who tear the ACL, 541 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 5: but they're genetically gifted enough with excellent quad control, excellent 542 00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 5: hamstring control, good balance that you could try to survive 543 00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 5: participating in sports. The other thing I want to say is, 544 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,919 Speaker 5: you know, when people get their knees injured, a lot 545 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 5: of them don't go to the er, they don't go 546 00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 5: to their doctor, and they end up discovering that they 547 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:26,240 Speaker 5: toured their ACL sometime later. So when we did an 548 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 5: initial study on that, we've found in four percent of 549 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 5: the people who tour the acls, we're able to continue 550 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 5: to participate even without the ACL and not even known 551 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 5: about it and not picking it up till they went 552 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 5: through some sort of screening, either at a college level 553 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 5: program or an NFL level program. So again, it's not 554 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 5: completely impossible to participate without an ACL. The other thing 555 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,840 Speaker 5: is Lindsay Bondsman throw a lot. She's had multiple knee injuries, 556 00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 5: She's been rehabbed multiple times. She has a good idea 557 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 5: of what her can withstand. So when you get an 558 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 5: older athlete who you know has been through multiple sessions 559 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 5: of physcotherapy, way training getting back to a high level 560 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 5: of complete, you know, they sort of have an idea 561 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 5: of what, you know, what they're capable of doing and 562 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,239 Speaker 5: what they're not capable of doing. And again, like we 563 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 5: talk about every week, we're not one hundred percent you're 564 00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 5: exactly you know, in her case, what's wrong with their knee, 565 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 5: we're only guessing that. You know, she has an isolated 566 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 5: terror to r ACL, But again, you know there are 567 00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 5: other complex issues that kind occur if you have a 568 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 5: re injury or injuries that occur with the ACL that 569 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 5: you try to push through. So you know, I had 570 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 5: a one of my kids played football and he survived 571 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 5: the season without an ACL, but again it was you know, 572 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 5: very protected through the whole season. 573 00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 2: Well, what I think is interesting is she took to 574 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: social media and actually explained and gave some details about 575 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 2: the severity because people are wondering what was the what 576 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: was the state of the ACL before the injury, how 577 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 2: how much percentage is it ruptured? She confirmed that it 578 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 2: was a fully functioning ACL until last week and that 579 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 2: it is one hundred percent ruptured, not eighty percent, not 580 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,600 Speaker 2: fifty percent, it's one hundred percent gone. So knowing that, 581 00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:21,239 Speaker 2: what other risk is she taking on and competing at 582 00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 2: the Olympics just a week later. 583 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 5: Well, when you look at the literature on that, you know, again, 584 00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,480 Speaker 5: I she can be very successful. She's a high level, 585 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 5: skilled compete athlete. She's I'm sure she's undergoing you know, extensively. 586 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 5: We have right now by you know, the staff with 587 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 5: US Skiing and their physical therapy staff. And again there 588 00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 5: are studies out there that say you can survive and 589 00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 5: compete without an ACL. Your biggest concern is in repeat 590 00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,760 Speaker 5: injuries and you tear a miniscus, then all of a sudden, 591 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 5: your knee starts to decompensate and you start to have 592 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,960 Speaker 5: more issues. So you know, again only knowing that she's 593 00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 5: got a quote unquote fully toward ACL and potentially everything 594 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 5: else was fine. But you know, there was no comment 595 00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 5: on any other structure. So I think that at this point, 596 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,600 Speaker 5: the assumption is that you know, for the Olympics, which 597 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,120 Speaker 5: is a two week time period, you know, you can 598 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,719 Speaker 5: try your best to you know, become prepared to participate 599 00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 5: in that activity, and if you have a repeat injury, 600 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 5: you're going to suffer the consequences. I think it was 601 00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,840 Speaker 5: about eight years ago there was a quarterback at the 602 00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 5: NCAA level towards ACL kind of toward the end of 603 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 5: the season, great season going on. So this university, which 604 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 5: was at that point of power five university, decided to 605 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 5: have the athlete continue to participate, and in the very 606 00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 5: next game, he you know, tore his latterminiscus and some 607 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 5: other structures and the next thing, you know, it went 608 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,680 Speaker 5: from just an ACL to something more complicated. So you 609 00:31:56,680 --> 00:32:01,440 Speaker 5: can always test quote unquote the me and make sure 610 00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 5: that it's found enough to participate within you know, within 611 00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 5: the compete level that you're at, or within the time 612 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:13,080 Speaker 5: period where you're at. And so I mean again, she's 613 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 5: a high level athlete, highly trained, highly motivated, and for 614 00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 5: a two week period, I'd certainly give it a shot 615 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 5: without surgical intervention. And I'd certainly give it a shot, 616 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,280 Speaker 5: which is you know, rehaving her really hard, especially her 617 00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 5: balance control, her coactivation as we call it, core body control. 618 00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 5: And again these are things that she's probably like trained 619 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 5: at a high, high, high level. So you know, I 620 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 5: don't I think there's probably minimal risk for her at 621 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 5: this point. 622 00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:45,400 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean we're talking about a chance to 623 00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,120 Speaker 2: compete in the Olympics. It happens once every four years, 624 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:52,680 Speaker 2: and for Lindsay Vaughan forty one years old, it's it's 625 00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 2: your last Olympics'. You've worked to this, You're going to 626 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 2: try everything possible to do it. So I think you 627 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:02,960 Speaker 2: take can do account her age what the events are 628 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: and things like that, as opposed to let's say, if 629 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,280 Speaker 2: it's a player on UC's basketball team or a player 630 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: doing a different sport where they're younger, you know they 631 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 2: they've got a lot more time to play in front 632 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 2: of them. Then you're gonna have different conversations about, Okay, 633 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 2: is it best to push through it, or is it 634 00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 2: best to get this fixed or to rest all of 635 00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,800 Speaker 2: those things coming to the equation. But I think you 636 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,080 Speaker 2: look at the time and place of a forty one 637 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:30,200 Speaker 2: year old athlete in our last Olympics, go try everything 638 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,640 Speaker 2: you possibly can to get that job done as opposed 639 00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 2: to you know, someone in their early twenties that has 640 00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,840 Speaker 2: a lot of sports still ahead of them. Yeah. 641 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:41,840 Speaker 5: I mean you played with an athlete here one time 642 00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 5: that he tours ACL against Miami of Ohio and you know, 643 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 5: obviously I can't say the name and we get a 644 00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 5: reconstruction on them. And you were around when we played 645 00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,520 Speaker 5: in the International Bowl, and you know, twelve weeks later, 646 00:33:56,760 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 5: actually eleven weeks from six days he played in the INTERNETSSABLE. 647 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 5: So there are people out there that I kind of 648 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 5: call genetic freaks who can have injuries and who can 649 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:12,000 Speaker 5: come back and participate maybe early. Who was it Terrell 650 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,359 Speaker 5: not maybe Terrell Owens who tours ACL and came back 651 00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:20,280 Speaker 5: early and had a little bit of a complication. But again, 652 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 5: you know, if you tear your ACL and you're a 653 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:26,440 Speaker 5: listener out there and you've had a knee injury, you 654 00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,640 Speaker 5: need to get into and be evaluated with rehabby you know, 655 00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 5: a physiotherapist who's experienced with knees, experienced with the dynamic 656 00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 5: balance that the knee requires before you go back and 657 00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,879 Speaker 5: try to play. Just don't go to your document and say, hey, 658 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 5: you tore your ACL and thinking that well, Lindsey Vonn 659 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 5: can go back and see I can go back and 660 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 5: play basketball. You need to have that evaluated to see 661 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:54,279 Speaker 5: your muscle strength, your dynamic balance, your core strength, and 662 00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,680 Speaker 5: correct any deficits you had before you would give it 663 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 5: a try. And certainly there is a small population, small 664 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 5: percentage in my mind, who can just go about and 665 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 5: continue to compete or participate and not have much problem. 666 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 5: But if you do have that second problem, you can 667 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 5: go downhill with our tritic changes pretty quickly. 668 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just again the risk reward and we could 669 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:25,879 Speaker 2: essentially tie this to any conversation that we have right 670 00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:28,959 Speaker 2: of do you play to arrest? How do those things look? 671 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,280 Speaker 2: I just think it's fascinating to think of an athlete 672 00:35:32,320 --> 00:35:35,120 Speaker 2: at forty one years old in her final Olympics in 673 00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,920 Speaker 2: a week out, tears her ACL and still able to compete. 674 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: It's very impressive. And again that stuff doesn't happen without 675 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 2: her ability to get it done, but also at the 676 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:48,440 Speaker 2: same time the training staff around her to give her 677 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:50,359 Speaker 2: body an opportunity to go compete as well. 678 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,920 Speaker 5: Absolutely, you have to have really, really people who understand 679 00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 5: the injury, the mechanism, the sport, that's are participating in 680 00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 5: and then design your pro grammar around all that. 681 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 2: Bob man Jean, University of Cincinnati and Novacare, you're the best, Bob. 682 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:08,279 Speaker 2: Enjoy the weekend, get a win on Sunday, and I 683 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,880 Speaker 2: look forward to talking again next week. 684 00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:14,080 Speaker 5: Okay, Tony, I have a good weekend as always, stay 685 00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,320 Speaker 5: you know, stay warm, and make sure you having me 686 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:17,040 Speaker 5: snowtires on. 687 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:21,000 Speaker 2: That's it.

Obviously, 706 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 2: I want to ask you about last night. Last night 707 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 2: felt different in a lot of ways, and I had 708 00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,400 Speaker 2: this conversation with a couple different people, like there have 709 00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 2: been there have been coaches at U see quite honestly, Mo, 710 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,200 Speaker 2: that leave and you're like, all right, good Rittans, move 711 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 2: on and let's get the next one. A lot of 712 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,000 Speaker 2: people felt that way when Brian Kelly left. People felt 713 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,040 Speaker 2: that way with Butch Jones, a lot of people felt 714 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,040 Speaker 2: that way with Tommy Tubberville. The conversations I had last 715 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:43,120 Speaker 2: white and last night. I won't feel that way with 716 00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,719 Speaker 2: Wes Miller because I genuinely feel like he's trying to 717 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:49,560 Speaker 2: put the work in, and after last night, I genuinely 718 00:37:49,600 --> 00:37:52,839 Speaker 2: think he cares about the results, and he cares about 719 00:37:52,840 --> 00:37:55,680 Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati. That can be true, but it 720 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 2: also can be true that it just seems like in 721 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,319 Speaker 2: a conference like the Big Twelve, the top of college basketball, 722 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 2: feels like from a coaching standpoint, he's in overshead a 723 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:04,279 Speaker 2: little bit. 724 00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,239 Speaker 11: This is a results oriented business. I didn't need last 725 00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,520 Speaker 11: night for me to believe that Wes has poured his 726 00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 11: heart and soul into this job. Sure, but the results 727 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 11: aren't there. And we're going to talk about this today. 728 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,840 Speaker 11: But I thought the postgame radio and the interaction with 729 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,520 Speaker 11: fans outside the locker room, I thought those were very 730 00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:27,479 Speaker 11: human moments. And I know there's a lot of folks 731 00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 11: who don't want to hear that. You know, you talked 732 00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:32,680 Speaker 11: about all the coaches who have left. From a basketball perspective, 733 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 11: this is going to be the first. If we assume 734 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,360 Speaker 11: that the school is going to move on from Wes, 735 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:41,080 Speaker 11: and I think right now that's a fair assumption. This 736 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:44,920 Speaker 11: is going to be the first one that is motivated 737 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:48,879 Speaker 11: solely by on court results. You know, there's no off 738 00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,160 Speaker 11: court issue. There's no academic issue, there's no cheating issue. 739 00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,600 Speaker 11: He hasn't brought embarrassment to the program by his off 740 00:38:56,600 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 11: court behavior. There's been no player mistreatment, and no laws 741 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 11: have been broken. There's been none of that. It's it's 742 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:08,440 Speaker 11: simply he's been given five years to achieve certain results 743 00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:12,040 Speaker 11: and he hasn't, and so is this is treated differently. 744 00:39:12,080 --> 00:39:14,880 Speaker 11: And I think also, like you know, the end of 745 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 11: the Tubberville regime kind of felt this way, but we 746 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:23,680 Speaker 11: haven't gone through this like lame duck dead man walking 747 00:39:23,719 --> 00:39:28,479 Speaker 11: thing before. Look, man, maybe they come out of left 748 00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,919 Speaker 11: field and go on a run and he saves his job. 749 00:39:30,960 --> 00:39:34,960 Speaker 11: And I think right now, everybody who follows the program 750 00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,480 Speaker 11: and cares about the program expects there to be change. 751 00:39:37,320 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 3: At the end of the season. 752 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 11: That is a conclusion that I think people arrived at 753 00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,799 Speaker 11: well before last night. And so there's been just this 754 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:50,239 Speaker 11: weird sort of everybody playing their role, not necessarily going 755 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:54,799 Speaker 11: through the motions, but everybody's sort of existing understanding that 756 00:39:54,960 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 11: when this is over, when this season ends, as a 757 00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 11: very strong likelihood of a change. And that's it's not 758 00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,440 Speaker 11: that's not comfortable for everybody. It's why it's fair to ask, 759 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,800 Speaker 11: and we're going to talk about this today. It's why 760 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,439 Speaker 11: it is fair to ask, if the decision has been 761 00:40:08,440 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 11: made to move on, do you go ahead and just. 762 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:11,640 Speaker 3: Do it now? 763 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 4: Sure? 764 00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,440 Speaker 11: But yeah, look, I hope Wes has a Travis Steele 765 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:20,239 Speaker 11: sort of resurgence somewhere. There's no reason for me or 766 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 11: anybody else to root against him. He has tried, he 767 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 11: has cared, he has put in the effort. 768 00:40:25,760 --> 00:40:26,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, players like him. 769 00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,800 Speaker 3: Yes, you're judged on results. 770 00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,560 Speaker 11: The results aren't there, and after a long period of 771 00:40:32,560 --> 00:40:34,880 Speaker 11: time of the results not being there, you start to 772 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,719 Speaker 11: look for somebody else. 773 00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 2: What else you got coming up on the show today? 774 00:40:39,400 --> 00:40:41,759 Speaker 3: Well, I guess a couple of things. 775 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 11: First of all, Austin, have you bought your your your 776 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,720 Speaker 11: new Big ten hoodie T shirt? 777 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:46,880 Speaker 5: Like? 778 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,319 Speaker 3: How many of those are you get to buy? 779 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:48,759 Speaker 2: That is? 780 00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,800 Speaker 4: So that's just important? Stupid? 781 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,120 Speaker 11: What a cool idea you haven't well as a fan 782 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,080 Speaker 11: of a Big ten program. And for those who who 783 00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:03,920 Speaker 11: haven't seen, the Big Ten is now selling championship Trifected 784 00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 11: t shirts with the Big ten logo and it says 785 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:11,520 Speaker 11: Trifecta and then underneath are the logos of Michigan, which 786 00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:13,640 Speaker 11: won the title two years ago, with. 787 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,040 Speaker 3: Which one. I don't see an asterisk on the T shirt. 788 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:20,200 Speaker 4: No, there should be, but there is. There isn't on 789 00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:23,000 Speaker 4: the shirt, but there I know there isn't on the shirt, 790 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,759 Speaker 4: but just so we all know, there is an asterisk 791 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,440 Speaker 4: next to their tear not on the shirt, I said, 792 00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:34,920 Speaker 4: but just in general, it doesn't have on Wikipedia. That's fine. 793 00:41:35,640 --> 00:41:37,759 Speaker 4: You guys can choose not to see it, or you 794 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:39,800 Speaker 4: can choose not to acknowledge it. That's fine. 795 00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:44,280 Speaker 3: I acknowledge what's out there. I acknowledge like concrete things. 796 00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 11: If there was an asterisk, I would acknowledge that, right, 797 00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 11: Like I mean, if you want to believe it's tainted, 798 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:50,880 Speaker 11: that's fine. 799 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 4: But but there's no asterisks, right. If you want to 800 00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:54,399 Speaker 4: believe it's not, then that's fine as well. 801 00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,960 Speaker 3: So anyway, have you bought the T shirt yet? 802 00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:00,839 Speaker 4: No, I have been. I've had this for as long 803 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 4: as I can remember, both on the air and off 804 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,200 Speaker 4: the air. I don't root for my conference. I was 805 00:42:05,280 --> 00:42:08,399 Speaker 4: rooting against Indiana in the Big in the National Championship game. 806 00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:11,399 Speaker 4: I think that is so stupid. I would never root 807 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,120 Speaker 4: for the Steelers or the Ravens or the Browns. I'm 808 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 4: certainly not gonna root for anybody in my conference, and 809 00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:17,960 Speaker 4: so I'm sure as hell im not gonna wear a 810 00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,319 Speaker 4: shirt with the other two schools on. 811 00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:23,480 Speaker 11: All right, we're on the same Yeah, I'm great.
