The folks 20 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 3: at Fox nineteen were at the Combine last week. We've 21 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 3: got a ton to catch up with our guy Joe 22 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: Daniman with including a very big night of college basketball 23 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 3: ahead this evening as well.

A win and this 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 3: thing just keeps on rolling for Miami, it would get 29 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: them to thirty and zero on the season. A loss 30 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 3: would make them a point of conversation every single day. 31 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 3: Based on earlier conversations this week of what Bruce Pearl 32 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: had to say about Miami and if they don't win 33 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: their conference tournament that they shouldn't be in and it's 34 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 3: led to a lot of back and forth. Is led 35 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: to a lot of conversations on this show. I saw earlier. 36 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 3: The athletic director of the Miami RedHawks, David Saylor, was 37 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 3: on Wake Up Barstool this morning. He's all over the place. 38 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 3: The red Hawks are over the place. Would you go 39 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 3: as far Austin as to say that Miami has become 40 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 3: America's team? 41 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 4: I don't know that I have the ability to speak 42 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 4: for America. I think, you know, the Auburn area probably 43 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: wouldn't say that they are America's team. 44 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 3: I think Bruce Pearl is finding out that there are 45 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 3: a lot of Miami fans out there. 46 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 4: I don't think Cincinnati fans would say they're rooting for 47 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 4: the red Hawks. 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: I mean, now you're rooting hard for the RedHawks. Yeah, 49 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 3: for all of our time. Oh yeah, you know, our 50 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 3: guy Kyle Decker was on last week. He's pushing and 51 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 3: making a push to increase your Twitter followers. I can 52 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 3: imagine that that Kyle would want to see you coming 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 3: out the Miami haters using your platform, which I'm sure 54 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 3: you would. Yeah, I'm sure you speaking of coming at people, 55 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 3: oh and using my platform. 56 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 4: You want to know who should be ashamed of themselves? 57 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 4: The coaches of the Horizon League. Oh, because there was 58 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 4: a complete travesty yesterday when it was announced that Donovan 59 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 4: o Day, Oh Day all Day, the great guard for 60 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 4: the NKU Norse, was not ranked first team All Horizon League. 61 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 3: One of the more disgusting developments happening. 62 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 4: They voted Donnovan O Day second Team Horizon League. Huh, 63 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: he's averaging eighteen points a game. He's shooting fifty percent 64 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: from the field. 65 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 3: Sure. 66 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 4: I mean, you know, I did some research and I 67 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 4: may or may not have been helped by the Great 68 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 4: Reverend Richard Browing on this absolutely, But you know Ken 69 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 4: Pom right, everybody loves Ken Pom. 70 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: Yeah. 71 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 4: Well, he started doing all league teams in twenty thirteen 72 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 4: and twenty fourteen, Ken himself. And you know when whenever 73 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 4: a player ranks or he ranks the top five players 74 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 4: in each conference, and every year he's done that, one 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 4: of the top two players in his rankings have won 76 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: the Horizon League Player of the Year. Sure, every single 77 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 4: season for twelve years straight, Odey was top two. Like 78 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 4: most of the year in these rankings, he finished third. 79 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 4: He didn't even make first team in the Horizon League 80 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 4: First team All Conference team. It's disgusting, it's embarrassing. And 81 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 4: he's second in the league in scoring, He's tenth in 82 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: field goal percentage. He's made the second most free throws, 83 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: He's got the third highest free throw percentage. He's an 84 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 4: absolute menace on the defensive end, second in the conference 85 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 4: in steels. And these coaches, guys like Doug Gottlieb didn't 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 4: vote of an O Day. Yeah, as the first team. 87 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 4: What about Greg Campy? What's that old man doing? What's 88 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: who's he voting for? This is a bunch of nonsense. 89 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 4: I got of an O Day should be first team 90 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 4: All Horizon League, and it's nonsense that he's not. 91 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 3: I would go as far as blasphemy. 92 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 4: I wouldn't walk across the street to see Gottlieb or 93 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 4: Campy or any of those guys. Who's the guy at 94 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: Wright State? What's his now? I bet he didn't vote? Oh, 95 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: Clint Colonel Sergeant Hurdle. Gosh, yeah, he makes Clint Hurdle 96 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 4: look good, and that's not easy to do. 97 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 3: TJ. Birch Att Wright State good player average just over 98 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 3: eleven points a game, couple assistant game. He made first team? 99 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: Why All League? The other players that I saw on 100 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 3: this list DeShawn Good. Deshaun Good was in the top ten. 101 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 3: He was number ten in scoring in the Horizon League. 102 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 3: Corey had not He's pretty good. He leads the league 103 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: in scoring. Orlando loved Joy. What did you say, who's 104 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 3: the first guy's name? Deshaun? 105 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 4: TJ Birch, No, No, something good DeShawn Good? Yeah, more 106 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 4: like Deshaun average. 107 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 3: Thank you, Brody Robinson at Oakland. He's fifth in the 108 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 3: league in scoring. Yeah, somehow, oh Day all Day number 109 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: two in the league in scoring. And it's not like 110 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 3: he's that high because he just shoots a ton and 111 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: the volume is high. He shoots at fifty percent from 112 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 3: the field. Yeah, I think it's a I think it's 113 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 3: one of the more disrespectful things we've seen as of late. 114 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 4: I mean, this is the dude who came over from 115 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 4: cal State Fullerton, where he'd been for the last couple 116 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: of years, and his field goal percentage immediately just jumps 117 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 4: seven percent. He improves his three point shooting, he improves 118 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 4: his free throws. I mean, you jump from that that 119 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 4: to this. 120 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: Who should be the average responsible parties that are six 121 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: more points a game that are held accountable. I guess 122 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 3: it's the coaches. I mean, because I mean we saw 123 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 3: Gottlieb get up there and throw a temper tantrum. No, 124 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: Gottlieb don't know anything. There's this disgusting behavior. I don't 125 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 3: get it from the Horizon League. Should be first team 126 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: All Horizon. I agree. College basketball outside of the snub 127 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 3: in the Horizon League. Kentucky Athletic director Mitch Barnhardt, this 128 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: is a big one. Is expected to retire at the 129 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: end of this season. That's a big one in the Bluegrass. 130 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 3: Any relation to Tucker, it's a great question. But I'd 131 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: like to know what Big Blue Nation thinks of this. 132 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 3: Is Mitch a good guy? Bad guy? Do they like him? 133 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 3: Do they hate him? Down there? What does this mean 134 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 3: going forward? We'll talk about more college basketball today again, 135 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 3: including the Big Slate tonight, and we'll talk about what 136 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 3: Richard Patino Junior had to say last night at the 137 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 3: Coaches Show when he was asked point blank, a lot 138 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,440 Speaker 3: of people out there think you're gonna up and bolt. 139 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 3: Shout out to Sue who asked the question last night 140 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: at the Coaches Show. We'll get into that audio this afternoon. 141 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 3: The Atlanta Falcons the atl Austin They're gonna play a 142 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 3: game in Madrid this year. There's a chance that with 143 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 3: that game happening in Madrid, that the Bengals could be 144 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 3: the opponent in that one. 145 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: Two of the Bengals scheduled road opponents, the Washington Commanders 146 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: in the Atlanta Falcons, are set to host international games, 147 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 4: and many believe there's a very good chance that the 148 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 4: Bengals would be one of those. Now, there's also this 149 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 4: belief that with the Bengals having an extra home game 150 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 4: the following season twenty twenty seven, that they could be 151 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 4: waiting for that. Now, a couple of other teams on 152 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 4: the Falcons schedule, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears. 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 4: They have marketing rights in Spain. You might know, the 154 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: NFL has certain countries you're allowed to market in, and 155 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: for the Bengals is one of them. 156 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: The Chiefs and Bears are in Spain. 157 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: Now, I would imagine that the Falcons would vehemently protest 158 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 4: the idea of losing a home game when the Chiefs 159 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 4: come to town, because it's the Chiefs and they only 160 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360 Speaker 4: come there every eight years and they have a huge 161 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 4: fan base. The Bears probably less likely, because less likely 162 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 4: that they would protest that because the Bears come, you know, 163 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 4: with some degree of regularity in the NFC, and with 164 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 4: the Bengals, I don't know that there is much of 165 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: a draw, although it is an easy drive for a 166 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 4: lot of Bengals fans. I think right now I would 167 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 4: put the Bears as the favorite, just because they're kind 168 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 4: of a league sweetheart at the moment as well, but 169 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 4: they did play over there recently as well. Either way, 170 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 4: I just hope and pray, and as an anti staunchly 171 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: anti international football person myself, I really hope the Bengals don't. 172 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 3: The Atlanta Falcons in the news. Atlanta Hawks found themselves 173 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 3: in the news Man not because former Hawk Trey Young, 174 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 3: who's now a Washington Wizard before he's even played a 175 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: game for the Wizard, got tossed from the bench last night. 176 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: What's he been doing? Why has he not been playing? 177 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 3: I don't know. Is he hurt. I don't know what's 178 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: going on. I don't know about Tree Young. You know, 179 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 3: he kind of just moves, doesn't move the needle anymore 180 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 3: from me. But the Atlanta Hawks have collaborated Austin and 181 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 3: doing a Magic City Night, Magic City Monday, Magic City Monday. 182 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 3: Now they announced a Magic City Monday. They've got gear 183 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 3: Austin this Magic City hoodie that the Atlanta Hawks themselves 184 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 3: put out. They They said that the night will show 185 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 3: love to the quote cultural institution with appearances from legends 186 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 3: like Ti, the Establishment's famous chicken wings merch and more. 187 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 3: Nowhere in the release did the Hawks acknowledge Magic City's 188 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 3: fame as a strip club, right, And that got Charlotte 189 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: Hornet forward Luke Cornett all up in arms. He said, 190 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,480 Speaker 3: this is disrespectful to women. I believe Luke Cornett plays 191 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: for the Spurs. The Spurs, Yes, I'm sorry, he said. Quote. 192 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 3: The NBA should desire to protect an esteem women, many 193 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: of who work diligently every day to make this the 194 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 3: best basketball league in the world. We should promote an 195 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 3: atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, 196 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 3: mothers and partners that we know and love. Regardless of 197 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 3: how a woman finds her way into adult entertainment industry, 198 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 3: many in this space appearing experience abuse, harassment, and violence 199 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 3: to which they should never be subjected. What do you 200 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: make of this id Magic City? It is very much 201 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 3: a It is a cultural institution. And in Atlanta, Yes, 202 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: I mean, my guy Tarren talks about Magic City almost 203 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 3: every day. 204 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 4: Like he goes to Atlanta. He goes to Magic City 205 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 4: like that's he loves it there. It's a destination. They 206 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 4: are known world famously for their chicken wings. True, I 207 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: don't know that the women that dance at this club 208 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 4: would necessarily say that that, you know, This is kind 209 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 4: of like the pinnacle right of strip clubs. 210 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: I think it's pretty good money if you're in that industry. 211 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 3: This is this is your spot. 212 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: GQ called Magic City America's most important club. 213 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: Oh wow. 214 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 4: Now, for research purposes, I went to the Magic City 215 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: website and on this website they have many celebrities sitting 216 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: down talking about the importance of Magic City, one of 217 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 4: which is Shaquille O'Neill. You know Shaquille O'Neil and Chuck 218 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: and Ernie and all those guys. They're based in Atlanta 219 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 4: and for many years they have not shied away from 220 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 4: mentioning Magic City. Be careful Magic City on inside the NBA. 221 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 4: I don't know that. I don't know how to feel 222 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 4: about this. It being Magic City Night is pretty funny 223 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 4: that they like it is so ingrained in the culture 224 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 4: of Atlanta and in the NBA that this was never 225 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 4: even a second thought for the team correct to be like, oh, yeah, 226 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 4: everybody loves Magic City, We'll do a Magic City Night. 227 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 4: I feel like most people know Magic City for their 228 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 4: wings then they do that it's. 229 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: A strip club. I think so too. 230 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 4: I think people should be able to do whatever they want, 231 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 4: and if you don't agree with this and don't want 232 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 4: to support this, then you don't have to. And Luke Cornett, 233 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: I get where he's coming from. Sure, I totally understand. 234 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 4: I think the hoodie collaboration's pretty solid. The hoodie looks great, 235 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 4: it's a good looking hoodie just Magic City. But uh, 236 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 4: I'm with you on this one. I think we're in 237 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 4: agreement here. I don't know that the I would need 238 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: to speak to the women who work there to understand 239 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 4: if they feel like they are objectified and mistreated because 240 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 4: of what they do. 241 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: I don't know. It feels and seems to me like 242 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 3: if the Hawks, who are an NBA institution, if they 243 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: went as far as to collaborating and doing this night, 244 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 3: you would think that they would collaborate with the women 245 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: as well. You would say that the women would say, yeah, absolutely, 246 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 3: let's sign off on this. 247 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 4: And I think, you know, it's a slippery slope when 248 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 4: it comes to the objectification and mistreatment of women. Out 249 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 4: of doubt that Luke Cornet Cornett is talking about, because 250 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: does he then believe that there should be no cheerlead 251 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 4: or dance teams across the NBA? Because I would You 252 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 4: could probably make the argument that those women are also 253 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 4: objectified and mistreated based off of the way that they 254 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 4: look and the moves that they make. 255 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: I don't know. 256 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: I just feel like there's a lot to this, and 257 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 4: I don't know that Luke Cornett, with all due respect, 258 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 4: understands just how much that is intertwined in the culture 259 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: of that city. That's like Red's opening Day, like that 260 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 4: is that is where you go. I was just, you know, 261 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 4: listening to Dan Patrick not that long ago, and they 262 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: were going to Atlanta for something and they did a 263 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 4: night at Magic City the radio team, so like it's. 264 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:52,040 Speaker 3: It is. 265 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 4: You got to get some reservations. But I think it's 266 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 4: one of the funniest stories of all time. 267 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 3: It is. It's something to watch for sure. Last night 268 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: college basketball, Arizona wins the Big twelve. They clinched that 269 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: and Duke clinches the ACC title. 270 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 4: I wonder where Magic City stands in terms of, like 271 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 4: the economic impact in the state of Georgia, because again 272 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: research economy, research purposes. I'm going to this website and 273 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: looking at some of the photos. A lot of cash, 274 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: a lot of dollars being spent, yep at a place 275 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 4: like this, So then it becomes okay, well, how important 276 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 4: is the economy. 277 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 3: We're getting deep now, one last thing before we break in. 278 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: And this is hard because I don't want to dive 279 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 3: too far into this because Austin, you and I were 280 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 3: talking about earlier. I just don't know the validity of 281 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 3: it yet. But our guy James Rapine covering the Bengals 282 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 3: on SI did write about it, and I just did 283 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 3: want to mention that. Core Kinnan noted that Ohio State 284 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: product Caleb Downs was flagged for an injury at last 285 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 3: week's Combine. This according to Corey, he was told this 286 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 3: by an NFC scout that no one expected Downs to test, 287 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: so it flew under the radar a little bit. But 288 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 3: it was told that Caleb Downs was flagged with a 289 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 3: partially torn meniscus, which is not a serious concern, but 290 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 3: also was flagged with a potentially degenerative ACL. Now, again 291 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 3: this is not being widely reported, so it's hard to 292 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 3: tell the validity. And you and I spoke earlier, Austin. 293 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 3: This could very well be an NFL team leaking this 294 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 3: in hopes that Caleb Downs falls in the draft to them. 295 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 3: But that is something to watch out for, and that's 296 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 3: why these teams have to do their due diligence when 297 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 3: drafting a player, especially in the top ten, to make 298 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 3: sure that there aren't circumstances like that at play. 299 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, the medicals are probably the 300 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 4: most important part of the combine these days, and obviously 301 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 4: for a guy that you're considering picking in the top 302 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 4: ten or the top fifteen or the first round altogether, 303 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 4: you're gonna do your due diligence and figure out, Okay, 304 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 4: what exactly does this mean, how did this happen, what 305 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 4: are the steps forward? Does it affect your availability for 306 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 4: this year? And so on? So I get where they're 307 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 4: coming from. I can't Half the people I read say 308 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 4: it's not true. Half the people say it it is true. 309 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 4: Most people think it's probably been leaked by a team 310 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 4: that wants him to fall. 311 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know. 312 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: I would need to learn more, and maybe our conversation 313 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 4: with Bob Manjean later this week can shed some light 314 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 4: on what it means to be a degenerative ACL and 315 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: what kind of long term problems that could have. 316 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 3: Certainly something to keep an eye on, as well as 317 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 3: what today is, which is tag day across an National 318 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 3: football league. What this means for the Bengals and what 319 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 3: it means throughout the NFL. We'll dive into that to 320 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 3: kick things off next on the Home of the Bengals 321 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 3: ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 322 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 5: Hey, Alexaport, No one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen 323 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 5: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, and. 324 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 6: I will, and it'll be all my goodness sakes destroyed 325 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 6: by Matt McClain, Oh my goodness of the tree.

It 340 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 4: was the first of two three run bombs for McClain, 341 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: six RBI for him, had a couple of just strong 342 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 4: walks too, where he was just spitting on pitches, not 343 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 4: interested in that stuff you're throwing outside the zone. Matty 344 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 4: long pants goes Matty longballs and he's looking lockdown. 345 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 3: We'll spend more time on Red spring training here in 346 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 3: our number three today. Speaking of baseball though, baseball news 347 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 3: right now, Austin, Remember Jerrekson Profar? I remember him? Did 348 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 3: he get in trouble again? Right now? ESPN reporting that 349 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:46,399 Speaker 3: Atlanta Braves d h Jerrikson Profar is facing a one 350 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two game suspension after testing positive for 351 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 3: a for a performance enhancing drug for the second time. 352 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 3: I wonder if he went to Magic City, so Jerkson Profar, 353 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,120 Speaker 3: who was a big part of a big lineup in Atlanta, 354 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 3: that would be a substantial loss before the season gets underway. 355 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: I was pounding the table for without a doubt. Now, 356 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 3: probably good that the Reds missed on that drain. 357 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 4: I would assume that would be the end of one 358 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 4: Jerrickson Profar's career. 359 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 3: It is tag day across the National Football League. Teams 360 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: have until four o'clock this afternoon to place the franchise 361 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 3: tag on their players. One of the dominoes has already 362 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 3: fallen today. The New York Jets have placed the franchise 363 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 3: tag on running back Breese Hall. This is the non 364 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 3: exclusive version, meaning he can negotiate with other teams and 365 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 3: sign an offer sheet. The Jets have the right of 366 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 3: first refusal and would receive two first round picks as 367 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 3: compensation if they declined to match a prohibitive price for 368 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 3: a running back. So all in all, Breece Hall is 369 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 3: not going anywhere, No, wouldn't think so. 370 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 4: That would be the third franchise tag handed out, the 371 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 4: first one to George Pickens in Dallas, Kyle Pitts in Atlanta, 372 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 4: and now Brece Hall. I think there's some wondering about 373 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 4: the franchise tag in Indianapolis as well, on Daniel Jones 374 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,520 Speaker 4: or Alec Pierce and how they're trying to figure out 375 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,080 Speaker 4: what exactly they want to do with those two. I 376 00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 4: know they've been negotiating with Daniel Jones for a little while, 377 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 4: but I don't know that we're going to see many 378 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 4: more other than maybe in Indianapolis. 379 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: The big name obviously here in Cincinnati is that of 380 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson, a franchise tag would put Trey Hendrickson at 381 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: thirty point two million dollars. But as Adam Schefter pointed 382 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 3: out earlier today, I don't think Trey Hendrickson has any 383 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: idea what's happening today. Schefter said, quote, he's waiting to 384 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 3: see whether or not the Bengals placed the franchise tag 385 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: on him. They have not communicated it. He's waiting to hear. 386 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 3: There haven't been any conversation. So, as Schefty went on 387 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 3: to say, Hendrickson sitting in Florida waiting to hear one 388 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: way or another what the Bengals are going to do. 389 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 3: We did talk about and Schefter did also acknowledge that 390 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 3: the Bengals have checked around the league with the idea 391 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 3: to see if teams would be interested in trading for 392 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson, in which case they would tag him and 393 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 3: tag him to trade him. But from the understanding that 394 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 3: a lot of folks are getting, there just wasn't a 395 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 3: lot of interest in that scenario for Trey Hendrickson. So 396 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 3: the Bengals have a decision to make by four o'clock. 397 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 3: I think at this point Austin at least I would 398 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 3: and I'm not speaking for you, but I would be 399 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 3: shocked if a tag was placed on Trey Hendrickson at 400 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 3: this point, meaning at four o'clock today, he would become 401 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: a free agent, and according to most would be one 402 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 3: of the highest rated free agents available in the NFL. Yeah. 403 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 4: I think he's a highly ranked free agent because of 404 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 4: what he's done over the last couple of years. And 405 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 4: I get that, but when it comes to signing a 406 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 4: guy to a long term extension, you've got to be 407 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 4: able to say he can continue to produce at that 408 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 4: level for an extended amount of time. That's gonna make 409 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 4: him worth that money. Yep, Trey is now into his thirties. 410 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 4: He just suffered a strange injury. He had a core 411 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 4: muscle injury. He had offseason surgery. I don't know that 412 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 4: teams are looking at him saying, Okay, we're willing to 413 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 4: commit a ton of money to him. I don't know 414 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 4: that he's not going to get Max Crosby, He's not 415 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 4: gonna get Miles Garrett money. I don't know that he's 416 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 4: going to get Daniel Hunter money. And so his value 417 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 4: has really cratered, at least from a draft pick compensation point, 418 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 4: especially when you consider picks that are in next year's draft, 419 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 4: because that draft class is stacked, so teams aren't really 420 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 4: willing to give up certainly picks going into this draft, 421 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 4: and especially not picks going into next year's draft. And 422 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 4: so because of all those res I don't know that 423 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 4: there's a ton of value there for Trey Hendrickson. 424 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I. 425 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 3: Don't know that he's going to get the deal that 426 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 3: he wants. So that's my thought, and that's why I 427 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 3: was going to go next with this because our guy 428 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: John Shearon posts a video on X today and it 429 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,199 Speaker 3: essentially said, Trey Hendrickson's going to sign somewhere else, and 430 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: when he does, there will be a lot of folks 431 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 3: in Cincinnati that say, what, Well, I can't believe Cincinnati 432 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,959 Speaker 3: wouldn't pay him that sure, because it might come across 433 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 3: as a very team friendly deal, to which a lot 434 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 3: of people would say, well, how can't the Bengals get 435 00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 3: that done when they need so much on defense? And 436 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:36,880 Speaker 3: that might be the case, or if you go buy 437 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 3: other projections. For an instance, the athletics Daniel Popper Austin 438 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: predicted Trey Hendrickson to the Chicago Bears for a three 439 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: year ninety nine million dollar deal. Now, if the Bears 440 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,640 Speaker 3: or someone went and gave Trey Hendrickson thirty three million dollars, 441 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,800 Speaker 3: good for you. You played the system and it worked. 442 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 3: But I lean to John Shearon's view of that, in 443 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,679 Speaker 3: all likelihood, he's not going to get the money he 444 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 3: was hoping. He's gonna sign a lower deal, and it 445 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:12,199 Speaker 3: it's what happens, it will have people in Cincinnati saying, well, 446 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 3: why couldn't the Bengals get that done? 447 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 9: Well? 448 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 4: And I think you also might have to keep in 449 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 4: mind that the price for Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati the 450 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 4: Bengals price he's charge and may not be the price 451 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 4: he's charging somewhere else, sure, because he may just view 452 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: it the same way that maybe the Bengals do, which 453 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 4: is like, yeah, you know, I don't want to be here, 454 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 4: it's time for a change, and so in order to 455 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 4: get me to stay, I'm gonna have to charge you 456 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: a little bit more. I don't know, but yeah, I 457 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 4: think Trey is gonna get out there and realize, yeah, 458 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 4: people are interested, but nobody's willing to pay me like 459 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 4: the top flight guy that I think I am. And 460 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 4: it's not to take away from Trey. I think a 461 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: lot of people have almost like become critical of him 462 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 4: as a player. There's nothing to be critical of Trey 463 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 4: Hendrickson of as a player other than not the best 464 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 4: run defender. But you can live with that because of 465 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 4: the crazy amount of sacks and the pressures and the 466 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 4: stuff that he's had to deal with. He's not a 467 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 4: perfect player. He's not at the level in my opinion 468 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 4: of Crosby and Garrett and some of those others. But 469 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 4: he's been a really productive player. He's been an incredible 470 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 4: guy in the community. I mean, I don't know if 471 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 4: I've said this on the air or not, but I 472 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 4: have a friend who's very young daughter has cancer and 473 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 4: there've been in and out of the hospital and all 474 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 4: this stuff dealing with it. In one day, randomly you 475 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 4: get a knock on the door and Trey Henderson shows up. 476 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 3: This was like a month ago, and he's. 477 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 4: Wearing a Bengals jersey and he spends time with her 478 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 4: and talks to the family. This is an unbelievable person 479 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 4: off the field as well. There's no reason to disparage 480 00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 4: the guy on the way out of the door. It 481 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:58,120 Speaker 4: just feels like this has come to an end, and 482 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 4: you can't be mad about it. 483 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 3: It's the best free agent signing in the history of 484 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 3: this franchise. Yep. 485 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 4: I mean the production you've gotten from him, and obviously 486 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: the distractions and stuff that have come with that frustrating 487 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 4: towards the end. But you can't look back on the 488 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 4: Trey Hendrickson era and say, damn, that wasn't a success. 489 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 3: It was. Yeah, it's just time to move on to me. 490 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 3: It just it signifies, or it will signify the end 491 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 3: of a great tenure, but also a I don't want 492 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: to say confusing, but just clunky one as well. The 493 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 3: way it's ended, sure, and the way it finished and 494 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 3: the numbers and the way he produced. And you know, 495 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 3: you asked me before the show today and I go back, 496 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 3: I mean, how looking back on it now, him showing 497 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 3: up to training camp like he was getting ready to 498 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 3: go play eighteen holes, holding his own media account like 499 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 3: it just it's such a crazy, weird ending, you know. 500 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 3: And here's an organization of the Bengals that did take 501 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 3: a chance on Trey Hendrickson, and yes, they were rewarded 502 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: for that, and I think rewarded Trey Hendrickson as well. Sure, 503 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: But what an odd ending to this chapter for the 504 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 3: Bengals and Trey Hendrickson. Just again how it ended I 505 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 3: would have And again, no endings are ever really good. 506 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 3: There's never really the mutual where all sides are happy. 507 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 3: But what a strange way as this kind of all 508 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: seemingly will be coming to an end over the next 509 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 3: few hours with the Bengals and with Trey Hendrickson. Now 510 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 3: it draws into light I think the importance of the 511 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 3: Bengals getting it right this offseason and the pressure that 512 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 3: that puts on the team going into next year. Adam 513 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 3: Schefter joined the folks earlier this morning on Sportsmanlike on 514 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 3: ESPN Radio, and we'll give you a little bit of 515 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 3: that clip as it pertains to Joe Burrow and the 516 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 3: Bengals when we return.

Before we get to any 527 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 3: of that, a little bit here on Joe Burrow with 528 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 3: the Bengals, and then your phone calls to finish up 529 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 3: our number one, So stick with us on hold. We'll 530 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: get to those in just a few moments. Earlier this afternoon, 531 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 3: earlier this morning, if you will right here on this station, 532 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 3: I was gonna say, I know, I got a been 533 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: up for a while. I've been up for a long time. 534 00:30:57,240 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 3: When did you wake up this morning? Usually I'm about 535 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 3: seven o'clock? Okay, when did you wake up this morning? 536 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 3: I'll ask again, since he didn't answer that question, seven fifteen. Okay, 537 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 3: kids slept in today. Bearcats have a late start tonight. 538 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,280 Speaker 3: Will you be taking a nap? I don't take naps. 539 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 3: I can't do it. Okay. I feel worse after the 540 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: nap than before than nap. This was actually though a 541 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:22,240 Speaker 3: piece of audio this morning on Unsportsmanlike right here on 542 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: ESPN Radio from Adam Schefter as he was talking a 543 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 3: little bit about the Bengals and Joe Burrow. 544 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 10: I expect Joe Burr to beat Cincinnati and then I 545 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 10: think this year becomes a referendum on what he wants 546 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 10: to after this year. I think it's a year by year. 547 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 10: I think if he's happy and Cincinnati, all is good. 548 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 10: I think if there's another rocky year and there's more losing, 549 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 10: all options are on the table. 550 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 3: So short and sweet, that's from Adam Schefter, take with 551 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 3: it what you want. And again I'm not at the 552 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: point where I'm like, Okay, it's it's the Andrew Lucker 553 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 3: or Joe Burrow's gonna want out of Cincinnati. But whether 554 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 3: that is accurate or not to me Austin that audio clip, 555 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 3: that's how the Bengals have to operate now and going forward. 556 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 3: That's all I'm asking. The Bengals have to operate with 557 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 3: the urgency that if they don't figure this out, they 558 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 3: could mess up what they have at quarterback. 559 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow will not tolerate an aggressive anything other than 560 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 4: aggressive pursuit of a championship. And if you do not 561 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 4: align with what he needs and his philosophy, which should 562 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 4: be your philosophy. Correct if these two do not align, 563 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 4: then who could blame Joe Burrow? 564 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 11: Much? 565 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 4: Like I've said for years, when it comes to Carson Palmer, 566 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 4: Carson Palmer Bengals fans should love him because he was 567 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 4: demanding more from the organization. And this same situation's happening 568 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 4: with Joe Burrow if they screw it up again. And 569 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 4: so the urgency of this offseason cannot be understated. When 570 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 4: it comes to draft picks, when it comes to free agency, 571 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 4: when it comes to extensions, when it comes to coaching decisions, 572 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 4: everything is on the line because if you screw this 573 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 4: up again, you are risking your entire franchise, the face 574 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 4: of your franchise, the future of your franchise, your season 575 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 4: ticket holders, your fan base, your potential future stadium, all 576 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 4: of it hangs in the balance by what you do 577 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 4: this offseason. 578 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 3: And that's my thing. I don't care who reports it. 579 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 3: I don't care if it's Adam Schefter. I don't care 580 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 3: if it's someone local. I don't care if it's someone 581 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 3: that doesn't even live in this country. I don't know 582 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 3: the lengths in which these other folks know what Joe 583 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 3: Burrow would or wouldn't do. But you hit the nail 584 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 3: on the head. Anything less than the aggressive pursuit of 585 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 3: a championship, and you're rolling the dice on this becoming 586 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 3: a reality, and that, to me, among anything else that 587 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: happens this offseason, that should be the driving force on 588 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 3: which the Bengals operate between now and the start of 589 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 3: the regular season. Tip of the cap, as we mentioned yesterday, 590 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 3: they made the layup, Dalton Reisner. That's a layup. What 591 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 3: else are you going to do? You got to move 592 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 3: back a little bit, hit a mid range, you got 593 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 3: to hit the free throws, you got to hit a three, 594 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 3: maybe come up with a half court shot, maybe come 595 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 3: up with something that you don't even see coming. And 596 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 3: it completely changes the trajectory of where this team is going. 597 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 3: But are you in a position, if you are this 598 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 3: organization to say, Joe Burrow's happy here, We don't need 599 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 3: to to operate out of our norm You're not. You 600 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 3: have to operate with the urgency that this could be 601 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 3: a reality if you don't get this fixed. 602 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 4: You know, Duke Tobin said this week when or last 603 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 4: week when he was at the Combine that he hasn't 604 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 4: had a chance to sit down with Joe Burrow and 605 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 4: do a full debrief. 606 00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 3: Huh it's March. 607 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:56,120 Speaker 12: Now. 608 00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:58,480 Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know what you know Joe 609 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 3: is doing. He says he talks to Joe a lot. 610 00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,960 Speaker 4: That's fine, and maybe that to me could be indicative 611 00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 4: that it could be slightly overblown because if Joe's not 612 00:35:08,400 --> 00:35:10,560 Speaker 4: in his office, or maybe Duke is lying about it 613 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 4: and they have I don't know. But you know what 614 00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 4: I am most interested in, and I believe this will happen, 615 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 4: is does Duke Tobin operate like a guy who feels 616 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:23,399 Speaker 4: like he has to win now? 617 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 3: I should? 618 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 13: You know. 619 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 4: I was listening to Lewis Riddick talking about the way 620 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 4: that gms and front offices operate, especially when it comes 621 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 4: to positional value in the draft, and there are teams 622 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 4: who are thinking years down the line, and we'll say, okay, well, 623 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 4: I'm not going to take a safety at number ten 624 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 4: because we need the edge rusher. And the Bengals could 625 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 4: be applicable to this, right Caleb Downs or Reuben Bain. 626 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 4: We've talked about it a lot. Now, guys that are 627 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 4: new on the job and have a new head coach 628 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 4: and all this, they might be thinking, Okay, we need 629 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 4: the cheap labor right away. 630 00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,240 Speaker 3: We need to you know, we're not gonna. 631 00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 4: Worry about years down the line, and we're gonna get 632 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:14,520 Speaker 4: the best player available and it might be Caleb Downs yep, 633 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,960 Speaker 4: or there are other guys who are thinking, shoot, we 634 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,200 Speaker 4: gotta win right now. I'm not worried about that down 635 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 4: the line with Caleb Downs and what he's gonna cost me. 636 00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,560 Speaker 4: I need to get this, dude, and that's where the 637 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,800 Speaker 4: Bengals need to be. That's where the Bengals need to 638 00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 4: operate out of I'm curious if Duke Tobin operates that way. 639 00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 4: Does he operate like a guy who knows if I 640 00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:41,719 Speaker 4: don't fix this, I'm going to lose my job. I 641 00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 4: think that's how Zach Taylor's operating has to. 642 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 3: And I think if you're like you mentioned, not having 643 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 3: the conversation, I don't see Joe Burrow as the guy 644 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 3: that's gonna say, dude, can we talk please. I think 645 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: Joe's the types are gonna say, Okay, I'm gonna wait, 646 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 3: I'm gonna sit back, I'm gonna see if things are different. 647 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,520 Speaker 3: I'm gonna see if things are changing, let's see what happens. Yeah, 648 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 3: And if that's the case, then Duke should be on 649 00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 3: the phone saying, hey, can we get together.

That's how I hope it's going, 652 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 3: not the latter.

They would get 680 00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:24,840 Speaker 4: a compensatory pick for Trey, depending on if a certain 681 00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 4: stuff is met, but more than likely nothing. 682 00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 15: Oh my god, yeah god, all right, that's okay, Yeah, 683 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,160 Speaker 15: there's about that's about part for part of course. 684 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yes, sir, that's That's the thing that I think 685 00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 3: a lot of people are going to wrestle with, is well, 686 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:43,520 Speaker 3: if it got to this point, should they have gotten 687 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:45,680 Speaker 3: it done last year? And who know, Like we don't 688 00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 3: know though, what the offer or what offers ever were 689 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:48,840 Speaker 3: for Trey Hendrickson. 690 00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:53,480 Speaker 4: I remember talking to people, uh this time last year, 691 00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,759 Speaker 4: and they all told me they need to trade him 692 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,720 Speaker 4: right now. And and these are people that I trust, 693 00:39:00,960 --> 00:39:03,399 Speaker 4: and I was still over here thinking, okay, well maybe 694 00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:06,319 Speaker 4: the defense will be better and Trey if all right, 695 00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:08,760 Speaker 4: But but they all told me they need to trade 696 00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,480 Speaker 4: him right now. His value will never be higher and 697 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 4: this is why. And they thought that they were going 698 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,600 Speaker 4: to be a lot better on defense. They were wrong, yep, 699 00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 4: And so they've missed the boat on that. And then 700 00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:22,239 Speaker 4: he got hurt and his value cratered and there's just 701 00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 4: not any more value there for him. 702 00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's where we're at right now. Mark, what's 703 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 3: going on. 704 00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,920 Speaker 9: And how's it going? 705 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 1: Two things. 706 00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,360 Speaker 9: I won't make a point about the Reds and I 707 00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:36,400 Speaker 9: got a Bengals point. My Reds point is I need 708 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 9: one more thing. I need a left handed reliever at 709 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,319 Speaker 9: the back end of the bullpee pull pen that can 710 00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 9: throw some meat, because I think you need two guys. 711 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,319 Speaker 9: I think I like two guys that can close games out. 712 00:39:49,400 --> 00:39:53,000 Speaker 9: They bought put Gon back and that was fine. He 713 00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,680 Speaker 9: did a pretty good job last year, except when he 714 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,560 Speaker 9: had to face the middle of the lineup. Okay, but 715 00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:01,839 Speaker 9: I would like a left that could do the same 716 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 9: thing because I think you need two two guys can call. 717 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:07,279 Speaker 17: Yeah. 718 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:11,240 Speaker 9: And then on the Bengals front, aside from the players 719 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,840 Speaker 9: that they need on defense to help them out, you know, 720 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:17,839 Speaker 9: aside from the big picture, I would like to see 721 00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 9: a philosophy change with them. It's like, if you need 722 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:25,320 Speaker 9: a guard, let's draft a guard. If you need a safety, 723 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:30,320 Speaker 9: let's draft a safety. You know, let's stop drafting tackles 724 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,960 Speaker 9: and making them guards. And like with dak Seel, I 725 00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:37,640 Speaker 9: think it was a slock corner in college and then 726 00:40:37,800 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 9: they bought him, they drafted him, and then wanted them 727 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,000 Speaker 9: to play safety. So aside from all the needs that 728 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,360 Speaker 9: you know, whatever position we need, let's draft that position. 729 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:51,360 Speaker 9: Like they need a safety, So whoever the best safety 730 00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 9: is at the time that they're picking, Let's draft the safety. 731 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 9: Let's not draft a cornerback and Jen try to convert 732 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:02,640 Speaker 9: into a safety. You know how about that that novel concept? 733 00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, now I get that going forward. 734 00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 9: So that was my point and then I'll get all 735 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,799 Speaker 9: of this to the rest of the show. 736 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,719 Speaker 3: Mark, thank you, And I think that goes to the 737 00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:15,080 Speaker 3: whole conversation about Duke Tobin of biggest need versus best 738 00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:20,800 Speaker 3: player available and can cannot mess, cannot match for this 739 00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 3: team this year at number ten in the draft. One 740 00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:24,640 Speaker 3: more and then we'll get a break and we'll get 741 00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:28,360 Speaker 3: to Joe Danaman. What's up, John? That's a new fellows. 742 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:29,080 Speaker 3: How are you good? 743 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:29,400 Speaker 9: How are you? 744 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 18: We're hanging in there, hanging in there, and this disastrous 745 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 18: winter we're dealing with it. As far as Trey Hendrickson, 746 00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 18: I would just move on. And as far as a 747 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,560 Speaker 18: compensatory pick, I mean that gets kind of worked out 748 00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 18: in the wash, depending on what they do as signing 749 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:48,280 Speaker 18: free agency free agents themselves. So you know that's already 750 00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:50,799 Speaker 18: something that could be determined later. But I just think 751 00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,279 Speaker 18: it's time to move on from him. I think you 752 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 18: could spend the money more wisely for a younger player 753 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 18: and a sending player like Odafe Olway. 754 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 11: From the Trigers, who were probab cost you. 755 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,400 Speaker 18: Half the money. He's five years younger. He's as sending 756 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:06,480 Speaker 18: that to me, the wiser use of money. And look, 757 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 18: the defense at times looked better without him last year. 758 00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,680 Speaker 18: I mean, the defense played better than the second half 759 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 18: of the year, or at least the final third of 760 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 18: the year, not saying much, but the final third of 761 00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,239 Speaker 18: the year compared to the first two thirds of the year, 762 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:22,399 Speaker 18: and he was nowhere to be found. And again lack 763 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 18: of leadership. I mean last year in training camp, like 764 00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,560 Speaker 18: you said, Tony shows up looking like he's ready. 765 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:26,960 Speaker 1: To play golf. 766 00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 18: And the year before, te Higgins and Jamar Chase had 767 00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:32,160 Speaker 18: contract issues, but they were in camp the entire time 768 00:42:32,480 --> 00:42:34,560 Speaker 18: and they were ready to go when they got the 769 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,279 Speaker 18: contracts done. I kind of was disappointed that Henderson there's 770 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 18: no way to be found for most of the training camp. 771 00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, that to me, it just and that's why I 772 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,279 Speaker 3: went back. It was just a weird ending to the 773 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,640 Speaker 3: Hendrickson tenure in Cincinnati, a tenure that brought a lot 774 00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:53,000 Speaker 3: of good and as Austin said earlier, he can go 775 00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,920 Speaker 3: down as arguably the best free agent signing in franchise history. 776 00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 3: Just a weird ending to what at once was a 777 00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:02,520 Speaker 3: very promising and productive tenure as a Bengal. 778 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:04,319 Speaker 9: Yeah. 779 00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:06,960 Speaker 18: I mean, obviously they're kind of built like the Colts 780 00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 18: were twenty years ago. Great quarterbacks, score a lot of 781 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,359 Speaker 18: points and then have edge rushers that you know, kind 782 00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 18: of close the game that the last couple of years 783 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,359 Speaker 18: haven't been able to do that because they can never 784 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,960 Speaker 18: quite get separation because their defense has been so bad. 785 00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 18: But I think it'd be time to just move on 786 00:43:21,280 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 18: and go for someone younger, cheaper, who can be as productive, 787 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 18: if not more productive, and then obviously, you know, try 788 00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 18: to build through the draft and whatever other free. 789 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:31,160 Speaker 3: Agents that you have out there. 790 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:32,359 Speaker 11: But I think it'd be time to move. 791 00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,560 Speaker 3: On from Trey Is. 792 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:35,840 Speaker 18: As great as he's been here, it might just be 793 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:36,960 Speaker 18: it's time to move on. 794 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:39,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's run its course at this point and you 795 00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:43,600 Speaker 3: move on from it. I agree. Thanks fellows, John, thank you, 796 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:47,120 Speaker 3: appreciate you. I think that's a good way to put 797 00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:47,560 Speaker 3: at Austin. 798 00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:48,120 Speaker 19: It is. 799 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:52,160 Speaker 3: It's been a good tenure, but it's just it's not 800 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,560 Speaker 3: working in Cincinnati anymore. 801 00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 4: And on top of that, they have failed to adequately 802 00:43:56,800 --> 00:44:00,920 Speaker 4: build around him. Other players haven't developed this quickly. Other 803 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 4: players hasn't produced the way you've wanted them to. Some 804 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 4: of the other signings haven't quite worked out. And because 805 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,920 Speaker 4: of that, instead of dedicating more money to one player, 806 00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:13,839 Speaker 4: you need to dedicate that money to multiple players. It's 807 00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,359 Speaker 4: not just, hey, the Bengals don't like Trey and Trey 808 00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,120 Speaker 4: doesn't like the Bengals. It's not just he's injured or 809 00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 4: he's older. It's hey, we got to spend this money 810 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 4: more wisely to make the defense as a whole better. 811 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,880 Speaker 3: It's there's a lot of layers to it. Yeah, without 812 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:33,160 Speaker 3: a doubt, maybe some layers that Joe Daniman can help 813 00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:35,319 Speaker 3: us peel back as we get to our number two. 814 00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,160 Speaker 3: He joins us next eight on ESPN, fifteen thirty Cincinnati 815 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:40,040 Speaker 3: sports station. 816 00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 20: KY Cincinnati, make us the number one pre set on 817 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,640 Speaker 20: your car radio and on the free Knew It Improved 818 00:44:45,680 --> 00:44:48,439 Speaker 20: iHeartRadio ad free never sounded so good. 819 00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:50,200 Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty. 820 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,359 Speaker 2: This is Tony Pike since E three sixty about Cincinnati 821 00:44:57,680 --> 00:45:01,560 Speaker 2: from Cincinnati.

So I'm standing 833 00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 12: outside of pay Course Stadium in the middle of the 834 00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,480 Speaker 12: afternoon doing TV stuff on Dalton Reisner resigning with the Bengals, 835 00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:49,640 Speaker 12: and there's some construction work going on outside of the stadium, 836 00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,640 Speaker 12: and a young man and a hard hat walked. 837 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:56,400 Speaker 11: By as I'm in front of the camera and yelled, yeek. 838 00:45:57,200 --> 00:46:00,960 Speaker 12: I'm telling you the nation stands up. 839 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 11: Made my day. It always does. 840 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,239 Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. I love it. You mentioned being there 841 00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,040 Speaker 3: yesterday for the Dalton Reisner. Dude, we talked about it 842 00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,360 Speaker 3: on air. I don't think I've ever heard from a 843 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 3: more excited and grateful free agent signing than what you 844 00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,239 Speaker 3: got from Dalton Reisner yesterday. And I know everyone kind 845 00:46:19,280 --> 00:46:21,839 Speaker 3: of assumed it was a layup and the Bengals made 846 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,799 Speaker 3: the layup, But what did you make of the news 847 00:46:24,920 --> 00:46:29,279 Speaker 3: yesterday and making sure Reisner's here and now a question 848 00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:30,880 Speaker 3: that we don't have to answer that we had to. 849 00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,000 Speaker 3: I think each of the last five or six years, 850 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:36,120 Speaker 3: you don't really have to answer much about the offensive 851 00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 3: line going forward. 852 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 12: I think that's the biggest takeaway from this is that 853 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 12: both Joe Burrow and Dak Taylor said at the end 854 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,200 Speaker 12: of the year, this is the best the offensive line 855 00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:49,279 Speaker 12: has played in Joe Burrow's era in Cincinnati. 856 00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:51,720 Speaker 11: And I think if you get that, you hold onto 857 00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:52,879 Speaker 11: it for as long as you can. 858 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 12: And you think about the many conversations we've had about 859 00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,319 Speaker 12: the Bengals offensive line and getting it fixed and getting 860 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 12: it right. They've got it to a point where it's good. 861 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:04,200 Speaker 12: It's kind of quietly good across the league. I'm not 862 00:47:04,280 --> 00:47:07,280 Speaker 12: sure how many people actually look at the numbers outside 863 00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:10,719 Speaker 12: of Cincinnati and see how good they were this last year. 864 00:47:10,920 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 12: And he's a big part of that. He's a guy 865 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,400 Speaker 12: who wants to be here. He wrapped his arms around Cincinnati. 866 00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,560 Speaker 12: It seems like the fan base did it right back 867 00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:22,040 Speaker 12: to him. I thought the comment yesterday of him saying, 868 00:47:22,080 --> 00:47:24,080 Speaker 12: I'm gonna hug Joe Burrow. We'll see if he hugged 869 00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,640 Speaker 12: me back was a great line. I mean, he lit 870 00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:28,680 Speaker 12: up the room and he does that every time he talks, 871 00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,400 Speaker 12: and those kinds of people matter at a workplace and 872 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 12: inside of the locker room. 873 00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:34,640 Speaker 11: But the fact that Ted. 874 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:38,480 Speaker 12: Karris and Amarius Mims talk about playing their best football 875 00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:41,040 Speaker 12: with him out there last year and want him to 876 00:47:41,160 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 12: be next to them this coming year, I think speaks volumes, 877 00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:45,839 Speaker 12: but the terminology is right. 878 00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,239 Speaker 11: It was a layup for both sides. They both wanted 879 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:50,120 Speaker 11: to get it done. They got it done. And what 880 00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,680 Speaker 11: do they always say, right, it's march, it's madness. And 881 00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:55,040 Speaker 11: in basketball, if you. 882 00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,360 Speaker 12: Just see the ball go through the net once, that's 883 00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,080 Speaker 12: when you start cooking. The angles got to lay up 884 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:03,160 Speaker 12: on the board. Now, we'll see if they can knock 885 00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:04,080 Speaker 12: down some jump shots. 886 00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:07,240 Speaker 3: I think, barring a surprise in the next few hours 887 00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,920 Speaker 3: with Trey Hendrickson and the Tag, a lot of us 888 00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:13,120 Speaker 3: assume Trey Hendrickson's time here in Cincinnati is now done. 889 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,520 Speaker 3: If that's the case, which we assume it to be, 890 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:19,480 Speaker 3: how do you sum up Trey Hendrickson as a Cincinnati Bengal. 891 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:24,800 Speaker 12: That it's probably the best free agent signing that I 892 00:48:24,920 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 12: can remember for the Bengals, considering what he was in 893 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 12: New Orleans and what he became in Cincinnati is a 894 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,400 Speaker 12: big part of what the Bengals did to get to 895 00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,799 Speaker 12: a super Bowl, and a defense that carried them through 896 00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,439 Speaker 12: the playoffs that year to get to the super Bowl. 897 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,839 Speaker 12: The shame of it is is I still believe there's 898 00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,280 Speaker 12: a lot of really good football left in Trey Hendrickson, 899 00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,880 Speaker 12: and whoever he ends up playing with next year, I 900 00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:48,279 Speaker 12: think you're going to look at it and you're going 901 00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 12: to say, man, which he was still here in Cincinnati, 902 00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:53,440 Speaker 12: because the Bengals could use that kind of production. 903 00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:54,960 Speaker 11: But it's over. 904 00:48:55,560 --> 00:48:58,360 Speaker 12: It's a divorce and both sides kind of feel like 905 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:02,040 Speaker 12: they want to go their own separate ways, and I 906 00:49:02,160 --> 00:49:05,000 Speaker 12: think now it's run its course. The way last year 907 00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:06,960 Speaker 12: played out in the second half of the year was 908 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,759 Speaker 12: kind of the final nail in the coffin for Trey 909 00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 12: Henderson's time in Cincinnati. But I think it's important for 910 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,640 Speaker 12: people to look back at the totality of what he 911 00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,080 Speaker 12: did in Cincinnati as far as his production and not 912 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:23,200 Speaker 12: just be soured by the final year and the final 913 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,480 Speaker 12: half season where he wasn't playing and ultimately it seems 914 00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,440 Speaker 12: like he forced his way out of Cincinnati. He's the 915 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 12: best free agency signing I can remember for this team 916 00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 12: having and what he did as far as production and 917 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:40,080 Speaker 12: helping this team get to places they hadn't been in. 918 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:40,719 Speaker 11: A long time. 919 00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 12: I hope that's what's remembered for him, not just the 920 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,560 Speaker 12: way it ended with the Bengals. 921 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:50,960 Speaker 3: You had a chance to cover the combine, and the 922 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:53,719 Speaker 3: combine has now passed. But in doing so we heard 923 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 3: from Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor and Dan Pitcher and 924 00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,640 Speaker 3: Al Golden and Darren Simmons. Did you gather anything leaving 925 00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:06,200 Speaker 3: the combine and going forward of maybe how they're looking 926 00:50:06,280 --> 00:50:08,720 Speaker 3: to attack this offseason or looking to attack the draft 927 00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 3: that has changed for you. 928 00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:14,440 Speaker 12: I think the word attack is the right word because 929 00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,480 Speaker 12: I think the tone I felt, and I felt this 930 00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:20,719 Speaker 12: ever since Duke Tobin got in front of a microphone 931 00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:25,400 Speaker 12: in January and the very rare postseason media availability with 932 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:30,840 Speaker 12: Duke Tobin was they understand the urgency of this off season, 933 00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:33,440 Speaker 12: and while they might not be able to express it 934 00:50:33,560 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 12: to kind of tip their hand on what they're doing, 935 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:42,920 Speaker 12: I'm fully believing and expecting them to be very aggressive 936 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:47,600 Speaker 12: in free agency and try to fix this roster defensively 937 00:50:48,160 --> 00:50:49,240 Speaker 12: as soon as possible. 938 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,279 Speaker 11: They know coaching. 939 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:56,360 Speaker 12: Seats are warming, they know the quarterback's patients is thinning, 940 00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 12: and they have to get this thing right this off 941 00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:02,040 Speaker 12: season and into the season, otherwise there's going to be 942 00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:07,560 Speaker 12: some really difficult decisions made by the higher ups, the 943 00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 12: ownership group, the front office about what this team looks 944 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:12,839 Speaker 12: like in twenty twenty seven. 945 00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:13,400 Speaker 11: They get that. 946 00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 12: I think they fully understand that. I also think there's 947 00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 12: an excitement for Al Golden for the way the year 948 00:51:20,600 --> 00:51:24,560 Speaker 12: finished with the defense playing more functional football in the idea, 949 00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:26,480 Speaker 12: he's going to get some new ingredients to play with 950 00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,680 Speaker 12: this year. I feel like for ten to twelve weeks 951 00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:34,680 Speaker 12: last year, Al Golden was coaching with basically kid gloves 952 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,000 Speaker 12: on and really couldn't execute the kind of style of 953 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:41,200 Speaker 12: defense he wanted to try to deploy here in Cincinnati. 954 00:51:41,239 --> 00:51:44,280 Speaker 12: So I think there's real excitement talking to him about 955 00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 12: specific players and about what it might look like when 956 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:51,000 Speaker 12: he gets more pros on his defense in twenty twenty six. 957 00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,399 Speaker 12: So I know it's one of those things I see 958 00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 12: better than I hear. But what I've been hearing from 959 00:51:57,560 --> 00:52:00,759 Speaker 12: the Bengals so far ever since the season ended, was 960 00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,320 Speaker 12: an understanding of the urgency to get it right in 961 00:52:04,400 --> 00:52:08,360 Speaker 12: twenty twenty six or else there will be consequences across 962 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:09,279 Speaker 12: the board with this team. 963 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:11,240 Speaker 4: That was kind of what I was thinking too, because, 964 00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,239 Speaker 4: like I've said a couple of different times that I 965 00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:18,360 Speaker 4: think that they understand. I think that they will be active. 966 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 4: Some of the things that they've said would suggest that 967 00:52:21,239 --> 00:52:25,520 Speaker 4: as well. But I don't really trust them to understand 968 00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:30,200 Speaker 4: the urgency of the offseason, or their definition of urgency 969 00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 4: might be different than than what everyone else is. So 970 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,239 Speaker 4: I guess where does the the urgency come from? 971 00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:39,120 Speaker 3: Is it from Burrow? 972 00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,640 Speaker 4: Is it from the fact that you know, they haven't 973 00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 4: won in three three years, not gone back to the playoffs, 974 00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:48,040 Speaker 4: and and why should Bengals fans feel like they actually 975 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,800 Speaker 4: do understand the urgency. 976 00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,040 Speaker 12: I think it's very fair for you to say there 977 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 12: should be skepticism because they've had this window now for 978 00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,800 Speaker 12: ever since Joe Burrow walked in the door, or and 979 00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:03,200 Speaker 12: they really only push their chips to the middle in 980 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:06,400 Speaker 12: that one off season of big time free agency spending. 981 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,280 Speaker 12: So I think it's the three years Austin. 982 00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:10,360 Speaker 11: I think it's three. 983 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,080 Speaker 12: Years of not going to the playoffs. Wait when you 984 00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 12: step back and look at it and see what you 985 00:53:15,400 --> 00:53:19,000 Speaker 12: invested with Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase and t Higgins, and 986 00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 12: the return on that investment is three years without the playoffs. 987 00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:25,279 Speaker 12: If you can't look in the mirror and say we 988 00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 12: have to do something different this offseason besides just rafting 989 00:53:29,640 --> 00:53:32,759 Speaker 12: and developing and trying to retain our own guys and 990 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:37,280 Speaker 12: think that's going to work again, then that's just that's insane. 991 00:53:37,840 --> 00:53:40,480 Speaker 12: That's the definition of infanity if you can't do something 992 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,239 Speaker 12: different after seeing it three years in a row. So 993 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:47,240 Speaker 12: I think that's the impetus behind it is the unacceptable 994 00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:51,279 Speaker 12: outcomes of the last three years. You know, you can 995 00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,759 Speaker 12: have a one off year, Your quarterback can get hurt, 996 00:53:54,360 --> 00:53:56,520 Speaker 12: things might not go your way. It might have a 997 00:53:56,600 --> 00:53:58,160 Speaker 12: bad break, your division. 998 00:53:57,920 --> 00:54:00,399 Speaker 11: Might be stacked. All those things can be a one 999 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:01,120 Speaker 11: off year. 1000 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:04,360 Speaker 12: I get that, But three years in a row and 1001 00:54:04,480 --> 00:54:08,680 Speaker 12: then the quarterbacks starting to show some patients cracking, I 1002 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,080 Speaker 12: think those have to be the buttons you push when 1003 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,120 Speaker 12: it's time to be urgent and address this thing as 1004 00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:19,600 Speaker 12: soon as possible. Now, coaches can be urgent, quarterback can 1005 00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,720 Speaker 12: be urgent, front office can be urgent. But the question 1006 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 12: is is will they be given the kind of monetary 1007 00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 12: tools they have to use to do it? Okay, I 1008 00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,120 Speaker 12: mean right, you know, you can go to the grocery 1009 00:54:32,120 --> 00:54:33,640 Speaker 12: store and you can say I want this ingredient, I 1010 00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:35,600 Speaker 12: want to make that I want to do this, But 1011 00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 12: then the person with money says, hey, listen, now, we 1012 00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,560 Speaker 12: can't be spending all this money, and then you're stuck 1013 00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,880 Speaker 12: with what you're stuck with. And so it has to 1014 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:46,239 Speaker 12: be from every level within that organization and in that 1015 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 12: building to be on the same page and to have 1016 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:52,000 Speaker 12: the same kind of urgency to get this done. 1017 00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:52,160 Speaker 15: Here. 1018 00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,719 Speaker 3: In twenty twenty six, I found it strange that Duke 1019 00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 3: Tobin said he hasn't had time to meet with Joe 1020 00:54:57,320 --> 00:55:02,080 Speaker 3: Burrow to have a full debrief. What did What did 1021 00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:03,400 Speaker 3: you think of that comment. 1022 00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:09,239 Speaker 12: I don't know how often Joe's been in town. This 1023 00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,319 Speaker 12: felt like the the the off season where Joe has 1024 00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:16,600 Speaker 12: just kind of wanted to be away and to get away, 1025 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,560 Speaker 12: and that's understandable. He seemed frustrated. 1026 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 11: We all saw it. 1027 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:26,200 Speaker 12: He seemed angry sometimes when those emotions kick in, and 1028 00:55:26,239 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 12: I don't want to psychoanalyze someone I don't know, but 1029 00:55:29,360 --> 00:55:32,520 Speaker 12: I'm just trying to connect some dots here. If you're 1030 00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:35,800 Speaker 12: having a bad couple of months at work and you 1031 00:55:35,960 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 12: have a lot of PTO to use, I would want 1032 00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:40,560 Speaker 12: to get away from work for as long as I 1033 00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:42,600 Speaker 12: could and just kind of clear my head and do 1034 00:55:42,719 --> 00:55:45,440 Speaker 12: whatever I had to do. Now, they might not be 1035 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:49,000 Speaker 12: in front of each other sitting down having meetings, but 1036 00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:53,000 Speaker 12: I'm sure if there's communication that needs to be had, 1037 00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,319 Speaker 12: Joe Borrow is going to have that communication with Duke 1038 00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,719 Speaker 12: Cobin and the important people in that building. But I 1039 00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,480 Speaker 12: kind of think it's probably by Joe's choice that Joe 1040 00:56:02,640 --> 00:56:03,920 Speaker 12: just kind of wanted to get away. 1041 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,279 Speaker 11: And you know, I don't believe all the pictures I 1042 00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 11: see on social media. 1043 00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:10,440 Speaker 12: I don't believe anything anymore when it comes to pictures 1044 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,840 Speaker 12: I don't know if it's ai, if it's real, but 1045 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:17,319 Speaker 12: he's everywhere right everywhere but here he's been. He's been 1046 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:20,480 Speaker 12: all over the globe showing up with the most random places, 1047 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,279 Speaker 12: and I don't know if it's real or not, but 1048 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,040 Speaker 12: it just kind of feels like Joe wanted to get away. 1049 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,960 Speaker 12: And that's good, that's fine, that's what he has to do. 1050 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,960 Speaker 12: Just just get away for a while and come back 1051 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:35,160 Speaker 12: refreshed and let the people who are paid to make 1052 00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 12: these kinds of decisions to fix this and get this 1053 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 12: roster right. Although fair to be skeptical, let them cook. 1054 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:47,279 Speaker 3: On the red side of things. You had a chance 1055 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 3: to visit the Reds at spring training, and we've seen 1056 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,800 Speaker 3: what this team has done the early part of spring training. 1057 00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:56,359 Speaker 3: Is there any question as to Matt McClain's success being 1058 00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,239 Speaker 3: tied to his pant length at this point? 1059 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 12: You know what, guys, I'm waiting for somebody to talk 1060 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:05,560 Speaker 12: me off the ninety win LTG. 1061 00:57:05,840 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 11: Okay, yeah, that's where I am right now. 1062 00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,399 Speaker 12: You know, I mean, it's an eighty three win team 1063 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:12,600 Speaker 12: and you go back last year and you brought up 1064 00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,719 Speaker 12: Matt McClain. If I were to challenge you to go 1065 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,439 Speaker 12: through the entire roster. You would go through the roster 1066 00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,880 Speaker 12: and said, well, Matt McClain left a lot on the bone. 1067 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,400 Speaker 12: Spencer Steer didn't perform like we thought he would. La 1068 00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:25,360 Speaker 12: Da La Cruz has another level. 1069 00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:25,680 Speaker 9: He could hit. 1070 00:57:26,080 --> 00:57:28,200 Speaker 12: You go into the pitching staff, guys who were hurt, 1071 00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,800 Speaker 12: Nick Wodolo the blister. There are so many players this 1072 00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,840 Speaker 12: team counts on as their core who I would say 1073 00:57:36,280 --> 00:57:41,040 Speaker 12: underperformed or we expected more of last year, and they'd 1074 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,960 Speaker 12: scraped together in an eighty three win season and made 1075 00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 12: the playoffs. Now if even half of those guys or 1076 00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,440 Speaker 12: all of those guys takes a leap forward and they 1077 00:57:51,560 --> 00:57:54,800 Speaker 12: have a growth year, and then you add Aohanneo Suarez 1078 00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:57,880 Speaker 12: and now you have left handed specialists in the bullpen. 1079 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 12: Why can't this be a ninety win team. Why can't 1080 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:05,360 Speaker 12: that be a baseline for this team going forward. It's 1081 00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:08,040 Speaker 12: funny because you know, Austin and I were texting yesterday 1082 00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:11,200 Speaker 12: about Matt McClain and his two arm run day, and 1083 00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 12: I said, yeah, you know what, you know, Matt McClain 1084 00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:14,760 Speaker 12: had a nice spring last year. 1085 00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:16,320 Speaker 11: And I went back and looked at it. 1086 00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,200 Speaker 12: He really did. He struck out seventeen times in fifty 1087 00:58:19,240 --> 00:58:22,320 Speaker 12: five at bats, he hit about two point fifty at spring. 1088 00:58:22,840 --> 00:58:25,960 Speaker 11: What's his pine? I guess whatever. But then he looked 1089 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:26,520 Speaker 11: this year. 1090 00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:29,760 Speaker 12: Fourteen at backs, one strikeout and he got pop. And 1091 00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 12: he's been able to try to cover the outside part 1092 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,120 Speaker 12: of the plate that gave him so much trouble at 1093 00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,080 Speaker 12: the end of last year and hit one out to 1094 00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 12: write center yesterday. And if that's the harbinger of what 1095 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,560 Speaker 12: his season's going to be better played coverage, long pants 1096 00:58:44,840 --> 00:58:48,280 Speaker 12: and having success. I just look at this team and say, 1097 00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,040 Speaker 12: there were so many guys last year that just didn't 1098 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 12: have great years, and we expect more from And if 1099 00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 12: those guys take that step, you're looking at a team I. 1100 00:58:57,240 --> 00:59:00,000 Speaker 11: Think should be above ninety wins. It should be the expectation. 1101 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,200 Speaker 12: And I want people to talk me off that expectation. 1102 00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:06,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, my rebuttal, my attempt to talk you off of 1103 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:10,439 Speaker 4: that ledge would be the words you used about five 1104 00:59:10,560 --> 00:59:16,480 Speaker 4: times during that spiel was if if if, if, if, if? 1105 00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:19,960 Speaker 4: Why should I believe that those guys are going to rebound? 1106 00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 4: Why should I believe that everybody's going to get through 1107 00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 4: the season entirely healthy? Like I don't have a lot 1108 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,600 Speaker 4: of right, That's what I'm saying, Like those things are 1109 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:33,360 Speaker 4: going to happen, and I just don't you know, the 1110 00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:35,960 Speaker 4: Matt McClain that we've seen, Yes, it was a pretty 1111 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,040 Speaker 4: small sample size in twenty twenty three. We haven't seen 1112 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:43,640 Speaker 4: much of it since then. Suarez, Yeah, okay, I'm all 1113 00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,600 Speaker 4: all on board with that, but he's going to strike 1114 00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,680 Speaker 4: out a lot. And who's to say that he can 1115 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,120 Speaker 4: keep hitting forty five plus homers a year. It doesn't 1116 00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:53,439 Speaker 4: happen all the time for a lot of people. Hunter 1117 00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:57,880 Speaker 4: Green continues to have injury issues. I just I understand 1118 00:59:57,920 --> 00:59:59,880 Speaker 4: where people are coming from because I do think the 1119 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,840 Speaker 4: the ceiling is really high, and I said it yesterday. 1120 01:00:01,840 --> 01:00:04,440 Speaker 4: I think they could win the National League Central. I 1121 01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:06,920 Speaker 4: just don't know that I trust them to put it 1122 01:00:07,040 --> 01:00:09,840 Speaker 4: all together at the same time, because I haven't seen 1123 01:00:09,880 --> 01:00:12,160 Speaker 4: them do that other than for twelve games in twenty 1124 01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 4: twenty three and have that team's gone. 1125 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:19,720 Speaker 12: Because the IF comes with pedigree, and the pedigree of 1126 01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,360 Speaker 12: a Matt McLain is a first round draft pick who, 1127 01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:26,040 Speaker 12: when we saw him healthy in twenty twenty three, looked 1128 01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:29,280 Speaker 12: like a rising star. The IF with Hunter Green comes 1129 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 12: with being the number two overall pick with an arsenal 1130 01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:35,400 Speaker 12: of elite stuff that we've seen be an All Star. 1131 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 12: The IF comes with pedigree with Spencer steer of a 1132 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 12: guy that's hit more than twenty home runs in three 1133 01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:46,760 Speaker 12: straight years. The pedigree matters to me that when these 1134 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:50,520 Speaker 12: guys are evaluated at a young age and smart baseball 1135 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 12: people project them to be a certain level of player, 1136 01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:59,360 Speaker 12: those guys typically aren't that far off of what guys 1137 01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 12: become out. Careers can be changed by injury, and that's 1138 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:06,840 Speaker 12: where we are with Matt McClain is wondering what his 1139 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:10,120 Speaker 12: career arc is. Is he twenty twenty three Matt McClain 1140 01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,000 Speaker 12: or is he twenty twenty five Matt McLain the only 1141 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:16,840 Speaker 12: two seasons we've seen him in Cincinnati, So excuse your fire, right, 1142 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,080 Speaker 12: is it the Matt McClain that's going to be a 1143 01:01:19,120 --> 01:01:21,160 Speaker 12: star in twenty twenty three or is it twenty twenty 1144 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,720 Speaker 12: five Matt McLay. You're wondering is he ever going to 1145 01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,600 Speaker 12: be the same. And it's hard for me to stand 1146 01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,240 Speaker 12: on this call here and say it's going to be 1147 01:01:28,320 --> 01:01:30,840 Speaker 12: one way or the other. But my IF is going 1148 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,080 Speaker 12: to lean on the pedigree with with Matt McClain and 1149 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 12: with Hunter Green, and certainly when you talk about any team, 1150 01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,560 Speaker 12: the idea of health is at the crux of all 1151 01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:42,560 Speaker 12: of it. I mean, what are the Dodgers going to 1152 01:01:42,600 --> 01:01:46,200 Speaker 12: do with shilhilo, Otani and Yamamoto get injured. I know 1153 01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 12: their depth is insane and they'll be fine and will 1154 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:50,480 Speaker 12: make the playoffs, but without. 1155 01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 11: Those guys, they're probably not winning a World Series. 1156 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,000 Speaker 12: I do like the depths of the Reds rotation, and 1157 01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:58,360 Speaker 12: that's baked into this as well, the fact that they 1158 01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 12: have probably sick for seven starters. If you want to 1159 01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,040 Speaker 12: throw Brandon Williamson in there, that can help this team 1160 01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:06,640 Speaker 12: over one hundred and sixty two game schedules, they're. 1161 01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:08,600 Speaker 11: Going to need all of them. Everybody wants to. 1162 01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,040 Speaker 12: Debate it's Chase Burns, Areett Loud or the fifth starter. 1163 01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:14,520 Speaker 12: They're going to need all seven of those guys throughout 1164 01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 12: this season to get to where they want to go. 1165 01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 12: I like that now you're seeing some of these utility guys, 1166 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 12: these role guys has moments in spring. 1167 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 11: Nathaniel Lowe's had some moments. 1168 01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:29,360 Speaker 12: JJ Blade's had some moments, Dane Myers has had some moments, 1169 01:02:29,680 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 12: and I understand it's spring training, but it feels like 1170 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 12: the roster is deeper, especially on the starting rotation. It 1171 01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,560 Speaker 12: feels like it's deeper and more proven in the bullpen. 1172 01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,280 Speaker 12: And if they can get the front line guys in 1173 01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:45,280 Speaker 12: their every day eight to take a step forward, I 1174 01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,200 Speaker 12: get it if. But I think that if comes with 1175 01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,000 Speaker 12: a lot of pedigree for a lot of these guys 1176 01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,640 Speaker 12: that we expect that if step this year to. 1177 01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,080 Speaker 3: Get to that ninety win plateau, you would need others 1178 01:02:56,160 --> 01:02:58,400 Speaker 3: to chip in and help. And I feel like everyone 1179 01:02:58,480 --> 01:03:01,200 Speaker 3: we've talked to that's been at spring training has talked 1180 01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:03,880 Speaker 3: about south Stewart, and they've talked about Chase Burns a lot. 1181 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,240 Speaker 3: South Stewart has had a great start so far to 1182 01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 3: spring hitting over four to twenty. He's got two home runs, 1183 01:03:09,440 --> 01:03:11,360 Speaker 3: and then you look at what Chase Burns has done 1184 01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,800 Speaker 3: fifty four percent with rate, including a seventy five percent 1185 01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,919 Speaker 3: with rate on the slider that he's been throwing. Which 1186 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:21,920 Speaker 3: of those two players' success would contribute to more wins 1187 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:23,880 Speaker 3: over the season. If you had to talk about what 1188 01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 3: you're getting out of Chase Burns or what South Stewart 1189 01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,439 Speaker 3: could be for this lineup, if you had to pick 1190 01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,560 Speaker 3: one which one could be more impactful. 1191 01:03:31,640 --> 01:03:34,640 Speaker 12: Such an awesome question to try to pick which one 1192 01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 12: would affect winning more for the rest. My stock line 1193 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,120 Speaker 12: on Chase Burns is this, While the debate at spring 1194 01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:45,240 Speaker 12: has been he's in competition for the fifth spot, I 1195 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 12: think by the end of the year he'll be closer 1196 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:51,400 Speaker 12: to the competition of being in the Reds playoff rotation 1197 01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:53,280 Speaker 12: one of those spots than he is to the back 1198 01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,600 Speaker 12: of the rotation. That's where I think he is. And 1199 01:03:55,680 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 12: I understand Hunter Green, Andrew Abbott and Nicolodolo exists. I 1200 01:04:00,360 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 12: think he can leap frog Nick Lidolo this year if 1201 01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:07,800 Speaker 12: everything goes right for Chase Burns and we'll see about innings, etc. 1202 01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 8: Etc. 1203 01:04:08,840 --> 01:04:12,080 Speaker 12: But I think his upside is higher even this year 1204 01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,640 Speaker 12: towards the top of the rotation than it is for 1205 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 12: the back of the rotation. But the fact that the 1206 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:20,320 Speaker 12: Reds have that depth at starting pitching and we saw 1207 01:04:20,440 --> 01:04:22,760 Speaker 12: last year a team that was shut out what thirteen 1208 01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 12: times and really struggle to score runs any pop consistently 1209 01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:30,959 Speaker 12: you can put into this lineup, I think is going 1210 01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:35,360 Speaker 12: to be more of an indicator of this team's success 1211 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:38,959 Speaker 12: than It's hard to say, because baseball is all about 1212 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 12: pitching another elite arm. So if you put my feet 1213 01:04:42,560 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 12: to the fire and say take one that's going to 1214 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,160 Speaker 12: affect winning, I'll take the guy that plays every single 1215 01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:51,680 Speaker 12: day and there isn't as much depth at that part 1216 01:04:51,720 --> 01:04:52,479 Speaker 12: of the game. 1217 01:04:52,560 --> 01:04:53,680 Speaker 11: I'll take South Stewart. 1218 01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:57,360 Speaker 12: But I think Chase Burns feeling is higher, maybe. 1219 01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,840 Speaker 11: Than anyone on the team not named Eligam. 1220 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:03,040 Speaker 3: I have two quick basketball questions before we let you go. 1221 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:03,240 Speaker 7: One. 1222 01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:06,280 Speaker 3: I saw Jeremy Ralph post a photo today of finishing 1223 01:05:06,360 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 3: up coaching this year. How would you describe, if you've 1224 01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,160 Speaker 3: understood it all, Jeremy Rause's coaching style. 1225 01:05:13,680 --> 01:05:16,200 Speaker 12: I would say this about Jeremy Ralph's coaching style. He 1226 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 12: gets very frustrated as youth basketball players, which cracked me up, 1227 01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,480 Speaker 12: and it's a reminder to me why I've never done it. 1228 01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:29,560 Speaker 12: I just don't feel like I could commit myself with 1229 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,120 Speaker 12: this schedule to find a way. And good on him, 1230 01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,000 Speaker 12: he found a way to get it done. But I've 1231 01:05:35,120 --> 01:05:38,200 Speaker 12: seen now my kids are moving out of youth sports 1232 01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:43,720 Speaker 12: and their high school sports. Now is the parents playing 1233 01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:48,680 Speaker 12: time debate, And I'm so glad I've gotten out of 1234 01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:52,040 Speaker 12: that where every kid has to play the same amount 1235 01:05:52,080 --> 01:05:55,720 Speaker 12: of time world, and I don't envy any coach who 1236 01:05:55,800 --> 01:05:56,840 Speaker 12: has to live in that world. 1237 01:05:56,960 --> 01:06:00,320 Speaker 11: So good on Jeremy. He smoked the cigar in a 1238 01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:02,640 Speaker 11: hot sub in Arizona, and I think it was because 1239 01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:03,880 Speaker 11: the season was coming to an end. 1240 01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:11,000 Speaker 3: Secondly, we've entered the stage of I guess far sighted 1241 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 3: bubble watch for the Cincinnati Bearcats. And listen, I know 1242 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,000 Speaker 3: the start of the year, in the early on, there 1243 01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,560 Speaker 3: were some bumps along the way, and this team had 1244 01:06:19,600 --> 01:06:24,040 Speaker 3: every opportunity to roll over Joe. After the West Virginia loss, 1245 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 3: they've done just the opposite. They've got an opportunity for 1246 01:06:27,080 --> 01:06:29,840 Speaker 3: two quad one wins to close out the regular season. 1247 01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:34,320 Speaker 3: Tell me about the opportunity that presents itself at Fifth 1248 01:06:34,360 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 3: Third Arena tonight. 1249 01:06:36,240 --> 01:06:37,560 Speaker 11: B Yu is vulnerable. 1250 01:06:38,360 --> 01:06:42,040 Speaker 12: They've been vulnerable since Richie Saunders left the lineup. They've 1251 01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:46,600 Speaker 12: lost two straight games. Their defense can't stop anybody. This 1252 01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:49,800 Speaker 12: is right there for you see now, what's the number? Okay, 1253 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:55,080 Speaker 12: you see the sixteen right now? Sixteen wins is twenty one. 1254 01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,000 Speaker 12: The number is twenty The number because that would be 1255 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:00,439 Speaker 12: two wins to end the regular season, and that would 1256 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:02,800 Speaker 12: be two wins in the Big twelve tournament, and it 1257 01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:03,320 Speaker 12: would be a. 1258 01:07:03,400 --> 01:07:05,280 Speaker 3: Ten and eight regular season in the Big twelve. 1259 01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:07,959 Speaker 11: And I pushed the brakes. 1260 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:11,800 Speaker 12: Right because every year on Selection Sunday, I want to 1261 01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:15,120 Speaker 12: write in my note app that the tournament committee does 1262 01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,160 Speaker 12: not care about the conference tournament as much as we do. 1263 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:23,800 Speaker 12: It just feels that way every single year. But twenty 1264 01:07:23,920 --> 01:07:27,200 Speaker 12: wins and you played in the Big twelve and you've 1265 01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 12: looked like a tournament team with Gisel James, what's that saying? 1266 01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:36,880 Speaker 12: You put yourself in position to be in position, get 1267 01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,480 Speaker 12: it done tonight, get it done this weekend, and now 1268 01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,080 Speaker 12: you've got a beating heart going to Big twelve tournament. 1269 01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:45,880 Speaker 3: Is there any sort of IF pedigree for Westviller? 1270 01:07:48,200 --> 01:07:50,280 Speaker 11: Well done? Yes, well done. 1271 01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:52,560 Speaker 3: If you're at twenty wins and then you look and 1272 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:54,480 Speaker 3: you're like man ten and eight in a very good 1273 01:07:54,520 --> 01:07:57,560 Speaker 3: Big twelve, I think it gives you life.

I would 1468 01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 4: ask you to close your iHeartRadio app, assuming you're listening 1469 01:17:48,280 --> 01:17:51,519 Speaker 4: on the iHeartRadio app, close your app and reopen it. 1470 01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,759 Speaker 4: And if it continues. Please let us know because clearly 1471 01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:56,720 Speaker 4: we don't want that. 1472 01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,799 Speaker 3: Hey call me crazy, and you know I am crazy. 1473 01:18:01,240 --> 01:18:01,720 Speaker 3: Yes you will. 1474 01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:04,360 Speaker 27: I apologize for my deep wheezy voice. 1475 01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 3: I got a deep chest cold going on. 1476 01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:07,639 Speaker 8: Anyway. 1477 01:18:07,920 --> 01:18:11,680 Speaker 27: I'm looking at Matthew Stafford. I think as soon as 1478 01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:15,719 Speaker 27: he retires, I think Burrow will go play for Sean McVay, 1479 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:19,320 Speaker 27: to go for that ring. Mark it down, you know, 1480 01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,840 Speaker 27: I think Burrow will be I've had enough of this crap. 1481 01:18:23,960 --> 01:18:26,040 Speaker 27: I'm going to go play for Sean McVay in the 1482 01:18:26,200 --> 01:18:26,880 Speaker 27: LA Rams. 1483 01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, he does have a contract here in 1484 01:18:30,320 --> 01:18:33,840 Speaker 3: Cincinnati for the next three or four years, so that's right. 1485 01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,560 Speaker 30: A couple things about employee ninety one. I think his 1486 01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,519 Speaker 30: number one problem is Harold Lewis's agent. This guy's basically 1487 01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:42,240 Speaker 30: a Jerry Maguire. He represents one other guy making over 1488 01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:45,200 Speaker 30: ten million bucks, and that's marcz Valdez. Scanley probably ain't 1489 01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:47,599 Speaker 30: in the league next season. If I'm Douke Tobin, I'm 1490 01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:49,960 Speaker 30: sitting down, I'm saying, Trey, we've shopped you around. You're 1491 01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,200 Speaker 30: not worth what you're asking for. I'll give you a 1492 01:18:52,240 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 30: one year extension with seventeen million bucks. 1493 01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:57,000 Speaker 3: That's it. Take it or leave it. You can go 1494 01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:57,439 Speaker 3: out there. 1495 01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:00,200 Speaker 30: Harold can can pull a rabbit out of his hat 1496 01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,120 Speaker 30: and get something for you, but it's likely not going 1497 01:19:02,200 --> 01:19:02,519 Speaker 30: to happen. 1498 01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:03,400 Speaker 3: Stay in Cincinnati. 1499 01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 4: Or I did see that Craze agent and Shamar Stewart's agent. 1500 01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,680 Speaker 4: We're headlining a clown convention in Newport.

Yeah, you guys are always 1542 01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:17,400 Speaker 16: talking negative. It seemed like Joe Maman was wanting to 1543 01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,679 Speaker 16: talk to everybody up to see the Reds are gonna 1544 01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:23,439 Speaker 16: do well and you guys always take the opposite side 1545 01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 16: of well, you're always on that negative side. You guys 1546 01:21:27,200 --> 01:21:29,600 Speaker 16: gotta look on the positive side sometimes. 1547 01:21:30,200 --> 01:21:32,960 Speaker 3: Man, I'm just I don't know if I can entertain that. 1548 01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,400 Speaker 3: I don't think you are like that. I think you're 1549 01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:38,400 Speaker 3: my positive, disgustingly positive. 1550 01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,639 Speaker 4: Too many times I will raise my hand and say, 1551 01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,639 Speaker 4: when it comes to the Reds, I'm the most negative 1552 01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,600 Speaker 4: person on the planet. And the reason for that is 1553 01:21:45,680 --> 01:21:50,120 Speaker 4: that the Reds have sucked my entire life. My entire life, 1554 01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,760 Speaker 4: they have been terrible, and so I don't buy into pedigrees. 1555 01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,040 Speaker 4: I don't buy into if I don't buy into the 1556 01:21:57,080 --> 01:21:59,840 Speaker 4: back of the baseball card, I buy into what have 1557 01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,720 Speaker 4: you done for me lately? And yeah, I think there's 1558 01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,639 Speaker 4: plenty of reason to look at this team and say, yeah, 1559 01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,920 Speaker 4: they have the talent, but there's a difference between talent 1560 01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:14,040 Speaker 4: and execution. And for thirty years, the Reds have pulled 1561 01:22:14,240 --> 01:22:16,680 Speaker 4: the rug out from underneath me, and they have not 1562 01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:22,560 Speaker 4: advanced in the postseason. They have been a doormat for 1563 01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,559 Speaker 4: most of that. So I don't choose to be positive 1564 01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,760 Speaker 4: when I don't have anything to be positive about. 1565 01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:36,120 Speaker 33: Fair let's go you see, yeah, byu, they're a little 1566 01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 33: ever rated.

You know, 1738 01:32:03,439 --> 01:32:06,640 Speaker 39: you never ever know, with the world of Twitter, what 1739 01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,120 Speaker 39: bombs are gonna hit you at any moment, you know, 1740 01:32:09,280 --> 01:32:12,280 Speaker 39: And I remember the day of the Providence game. All 1741 01:32:12,280 --> 01:32:15,040 Speaker 39: of a sudden, your phone's buzzing and I'm like, what 1742 01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,439 Speaker 39: is going on here? So I tried to squash that quickly. 1743 01:32:18,520 --> 01:32:23,160 Speaker 39: Here here's what I could tell everybody here. I promise 1744 01:32:23,240 --> 01:32:25,519 Speaker 39: you I will never leave after a fourteen or fifteen 1745 01:32:25,560 --> 01:32:29,720 Speaker 39: win season because that that that's not my intent at all. 1746 01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:36,160 Speaker 39: You know, I appreciate greatly what Savior has given me. 1747 01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:38,320 Speaker 39: Will I say I'm never gonna leave. 1748 01:32:38,360 --> 01:32:40,960 Speaker 3: I have no idea. I have no idea. They may 1749 01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:42,800 Speaker 3: tell me to leave in a couple of years. I haven't. 1750 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,120 Speaker 3: That's happened to me as well. 1751 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,840 Speaker 39: But what I can tell you, what I really, really, 1752 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,599 Speaker 39: really pride myself in, is building a championship program. 1753 01:32:52,479 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 3: I left New Mexico. I loved New Mexico. 1754 01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,479 Speaker 39: I didn't want to leave, but I held my hot 1755 01:32:57,600 --> 01:32:59,360 Speaker 39: head high in the sense that I cut down two 1756 01:32:59,439 --> 01:33:01,240 Speaker 39: nets in a row. So I went to the NCAA 1757 01:33:01,320 --> 01:33:04,680 Speaker 39: tournament twice, and it felt like I gave everything to 1758 01:33:04,880 --> 01:33:08,120 Speaker 39: New Mexico. I have not given a lot to Xavier 1759 01:33:08,280 --> 01:33:11,519 Speaker 39: just yet. So if that tells you what my answer 1760 01:33:11,680 --> 01:33:14,559 Speaker 39: is right there, Like we've got a lot of work 1761 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:19,280 Speaker 39: to do and the job is not even close to finish. 1762 01:33:19,920 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 39: So I would tell you nobody needs to worry about 1763 01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:25,040 Speaker 39: any of the stuff they're reading on the internet. Those 1764 01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:27,720 Speaker 39: things are really really hard when people tweet those things out. 1765 01:33:27,800 --> 01:33:31,800 Speaker 39: And I was telling Byron this, like, for one speculation 1766 01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,960 Speaker 39: when a coach still has a job. It's really really 1767 01:33:35,040 --> 01:33:37,360 Speaker 39: hard for me to ever address something like that, you 1768 01:33:37,439 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 39: know what I mean? Like that that's inappropriate to how 1769 01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:45,360 Speaker 39: hard this profession is. But with that being said, I 1770 01:33:45,439 --> 01:33:48,000 Speaker 39: hope to build a championship team here. I want to 1771 01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,679 Speaker 39: win the Big East in the worst way. At Xavier, 1772 01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:54,040 Speaker 39: we're not even close to there yet, so all my 1773 01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:57,599 Speaker 39: focus and my energy is into that. And I can 1774 01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,320 Speaker 39: promise you as well. This girl wants to finish high 1775 01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:04,200 Speaker 39: school at Summit and she's got three more years, So 1776 01:34:04,720 --> 01:34:06,599 Speaker 39: there you go. Me a couple more years. 1777 01:34:08,840 --> 01:34:09,640 Speaker 8: But we really do. 1778 01:34:09,840 --> 01:34:10,080 Speaker 17: I mean. 1779 01:34:11,160 --> 01:34:13,160 Speaker 39: The one thing I hope you guys learn about me, 1780 01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:17,519 Speaker 39: I don't really speak in coach speak. And when I 1781 01:34:17,720 --> 01:34:20,599 Speaker 39: left New Mexico, I think it was received as well 1782 01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:22,599 Speaker 39: as it could ever have because I was very honest 1783 01:34:22,640 --> 01:34:26,280 Speaker 39: with people. I wanted to get back East. If a 1784 01:34:26,320 --> 01:34:28,920 Speaker 39: Big East job came available that I thought was a 1785 01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,120 Speaker 39: really good one, I'd be very very intrigued with it. 1786 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:34,400 Speaker 39: So Xavier checks all the boxes. The next thing we 1787 01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:35,960 Speaker 39: got to do is win a lot more games, and 1788 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:37,120 Speaker 39: that's the plan moving forward. 1789 01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:40,280 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I like the way this guy operates. 1790 01:34:40,320 --> 01:34:43,840 Speaker 3: Man too, very easy to be like, yeah, I'm not 1791 01:34:43,960 --> 01:34:46,439 Speaker 3: talking about any of that. That's crazy. And I think 1792 01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:48,240 Speaker 3: what he said there at the end holds true. He's 1793 01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,280 Speaker 3: not in the normal sense of coach speak. 1794 01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:54,280 Speaker 4: And shout out to Sue speaking of journalism. Man, she's 1795 01:34:54,360 --> 01:34:54,879 Speaker 4: not afraid. 1796 01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:57,680 Speaker 3: No. I like what he said too. Of Look, I 1797 01:34:57,760 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 3: gave everything I had to New Mexico, and I was 1798 01:34:59,479 --> 01:35:01,880 Speaker 3: honest with the process. And I've talked about on this 1799 01:35:01,960 --> 01:35:04,880 Speaker 3: show before. The way Mark D'Antonio left when I was 1800 01:35:04,880 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 3: at the University of Cincinnati versus the way Brian Kelly 1801 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:08,840 Speaker 3: left when I was at the University of Cincinnati was 1802 01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:12,640 Speaker 3: exactly that. Mark D'Antonio was open, he was honest, He 1803 01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:16,360 Speaker 3: had the conversations up front about things, and I think 1804 01:35:16,600 --> 01:35:19,439 Speaker 3: people view him a lot differently than when Brian Kelly 1805 01:35:19,520 --> 01:35:23,920 Speaker 3: left the program. So I appreciate what Richard Patino did 1806 01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:26,960 Speaker 3: and how he attacked that, and I also know that 1807 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,040 Speaker 3: that it's true what Richard Patino said. They got to 1808 01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,680 Speaker 3: win a lot more games at Xavier. They got a 1809 01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:34,599 Speaker 3: long way to go, and that is the goal. That's 1810 01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,439 Speaker 3: where they want to be. They get another chance to 1811 01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:42,639 Speaker 3: bite into that tonight at the Cintas Center. Against Seaton Hall. 1812 01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:45,760 Speaker 3: For Xavier, it's a chance to get their seventh Big 1813 01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:47,280 Speaker 3: East win of the year, and they would get them 1814 01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:49,080 Speaker 3: back to five hundred on the season. They sit at 1815 01:35:49,120 --> 01:35:52,479 Speaker 3: fourteen and fifteen. You want to talk about implications and 1816 01:35:53,240 --> 01:35:55,560 Speaker 3: where we are in the process here, at least some 1817 01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:59,880 Speaker 3: of us bubble watch what's going on around the bubble. 1818 01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:03,320 Speaker 3: If you are a team like you see that has 1819 01:36:03,400 --> 01:36:05,760 Speaker 3: a ton of work to do, you have to take 1820 01:36:05,800 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 3: care of business, and we'll get to that in a moment. 1821 01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:10,400 Speaker 3: You also need other teams to help you out as well. Tonight. 1822 01:36:11,200 --> 01:36:13,600 Speaker 3: Xavier is one of those teams. If you are a 1823 01:36:13,680 --> 01:36:17,840 Speaker 3: Cincinnati Bearcat fan, you want the Xavier Musketeers to win 1824 01:36:17,880 --> 01:36:21,040 Speaker 3: tonight because Seton Hall is a team according to most 1825 01:36:21,560 --> 01:36:25,400 Speaker 3: that is squarely on that Joe Lonardi bracketology bubble as well. 1826 01:36:26,200 --> 01:36:30,320 Speaker 3: So that is it's kind of the lens in which 1827 01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:34,840 Speaker 3: we're viewing this austin which teams can help, which teams 1828 01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,960 Speaker 3: can hurt going forward, and who do you got to 1829 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:40,639 Speaker 3: root for? So that's what Xavier has ahead of them tonight. 1830 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:46,320 Speaker 3: Other action tonight, especially in the top twenty five TCU 1831 01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:50,679 Speaker 3: is at Texas Tech Bubble Watch Asia. You want Texas 1832 01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:52,679 Speaker 3: Tech to win that game if you're hoping the Bearcats 1833 01:36:52,720 --> 01:36:55,639 Speaker 3: can make a run. Mentioned at the start of the show, 1834 01:36:56,360 --> 01:36:59,920 Speaker 3: a lot going on around Miami's basketball program right now 1835 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,240 Speaker 3: as they look to go to thirty and Ohero. They 1836 01:37:02,360 --> 01:37:07,320 Speaker 3: take on the Toledo Rockets tonight at Malette Hall. Miami 1837 01:37:07,439 --> 01:37:11,200 Speaker 3: right now in this game listed as a seven and 1838 01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:14,040 Speaker 3: a half point favorite. They got to win at Toledo 1839 01:37:14,120 --> 01:37:17,439 Speaker 3: eighty seven to seventy three early in the year, so 1840 01:37:17,520 --> 01:37:21,200 Speaker 3: it's an opponent they know well. And you know the 1841 01:37:21,280 --> 01:37:26,160 Speaker 3: biggest thing for Miami right now, Austin, I think Miami's resume. 1842 01:37:26,880 --> 01:37:30,439 Speaker 3: If they win tonight and they beat Ohio on Friday, 1843 01:37:30,479 --> 01:37:32,120 Speaker 3: I think they're in because I don't think even with 1844 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:35,120 Speaker 3: one loss they miss. The only way the door gets 1845 01:37:35,600 --> 01:37:38,880 Speaker 3: opened around Miami is if they slip up tonight or 1846 01:37:38,920 --> 01:37:40,839 Speaker 3: Friday and then they lose again in the MAC Tournament. 1847 01:37:42,040 --> 01:37:45,080 Speaker 3: That's where I think this could get interesting. So two 1848 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:47,920 Speaker 3: more chances to take care of business. They jumped on 1849 01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:51,000 Speaker 3: Toledo early in that first match of fifty six to 1850 01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:53,800 Speaker 3: thirty six at a half. That would be kind of 1851 01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:56,160 Speaker 3: what needs to happen. What do you view Miami wise, 1852 01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:57,680 Speaker 3: do they need to win the next two if they 1853 01:37:57,760 --> 01:37:58,920 Speaker 3: fall short in the MAC Tournament. 1854 01:37:59,600 --> 01:38:03,240 Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, I don't think you can keep a team 1855 01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,920 Speaker 4: out that's undefeated in the regular season. 1856 01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:09,599 Speaker 3: Yes, with one conference tournament loss. Yeah, I think it's 1857 01:38:09,680 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 3: interesting if they lose one of the next two and 1858 01:38:11,560 --> 01:38:12,759 Speaker 3: then don't win the MAC Tournament. 1859 01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:16,479 Speaker 4: I also don't think. I think if they're undefeated in 1860 01:38:16,479 --> 01:38:19,200 Speaker 4: the regular season, they'll be good regardless. But I also 1861 01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,360 Speaker 4: don't think they can lose in the first round of 1862 01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:26,360 Speaker 4: the back sure, yeah, barring something early in that tournament. 1863 01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:32,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. Nebraska Ucla tonight a team A lot of people 1864 01:38:32,800 --> 01:38:35,240 Speaker 3: may view UCLA as a bubble team at this point. 1865 01:38:35,880 --> 01:38:38,160 Speaker 3: Arizona State. You don't want to see them creep back 1866 01:38:38,200 --> 01:38:40,639 Speaker 3: into it. You want to see Kansas knock them off tonight, 1867 01:38:41,680 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 3: But a lot of local action tonight that will kind 1868 01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:48,680 Speaker 3: of have bubble implications. Louisville, by the way, who has 1869 01:38:48,840 --> 01:38:52,599 Speaker 3: fallen now out of the top twenty five. They're back 1870 01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,000 Speaker 3: in action tonight at the Young Center against a bad 1871 01:38:55,160 --> 01:38:58,200 Speaker 3: Syracuse team. Again, I don't think Louisville's a team that 1872 01:38:58,320 --> 01:39:01,200 Speaker 3: has to worry about their nca eight tournament hopes, but 1873 01:39:01,320 --> 01:39:03,200 Speaker 3: it is a team that kind of needs to write 1874 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:05,840 Speaker 3: the ship of where they're at. And then a very 1875 01:39:05,920 --> 01:39:09,760 Speaker 3: interesting one tonight on the road at Texas A and 1876 01:39:09,920 --> 01:39:13,400 Speaker 3: M for the Kentucky Wildcats. Right now Texas A and 1877 01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,040 Speaker 3: M one of the last four buys, so still living 1878 01:39:17,160 --> 01:39:19,599 Speaker 3: kind of close to that bubble. You'd like to see 1879 01:39:19,680 --> 01:39:24,040 Speaker 3: him take care of business, I mean, the Kentucky Wildcats 1880 01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:26,320 Speaker 3: to take care of business. And then none of this 1881 01:39:26,439 --> 01:39:29,040 Speaker 3: matters if we're talking about the bubble if U see 1882 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:32,280 Speaker 3: does not take care of BYU tonight. It's a nine 1883 01:39:32,960 --> 01:39:38,800 Speaker 3: pm tip off, a nine pm tip off televise on 1884 01:39:39,040 --> 01:39:40,720 Speaker 3: ESPN two, but more importantly, you can hear it on 1885 01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,640 Speaker 3: seven hundred WLW with Dan Hord and Terry Nelson. 1886 01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:43,720 Speaker 9: On the car. 1887 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:46,360 Speaker 3: Now you're getting it, you see, it's only been years 1888 01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:50,639 Speaker 3: two and a half point favorite tonight. It's an interesting 1889 01:39:50,760 --> 01:39:56,080 Speaker 3: BYU team because as of the latest Lonardi bracketology, he's 1890 01:39:56,080 --> 01:40:01,280 Speaker 3: still got BYU as a six seed. But BYU as 1891 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 3: of late, has lost three out of four. They've lost 1892 01:40:05,280 --> 01:40:08,280 Speaker 3: their second leading scorer for the season in Richie Saunders, 1893 01:40:08,840 --> 01:40:11,559 Speaker 3: and then those two losses neither of them very competitive. 1894 01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:14,760 Speaker 3: They got blown out at home against UCF where they 1895 01:40:14,800 --> 01:40:17,920 Speaker 3: gave up ninety seven points to the Knights, and then 1896 01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:22,599 Speaker 3: just earlier or later last week they went to West 1897 01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:24,880 Speaker 3: Virginia and lost seventy nine to seventy one. They do 1898 01:40:25,040 --> 01:40:28,000 Speaker 3: have a win over Iowa State in that time, I 1899 01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:31,160 Speaker 3: lost to Arizona. But this is BYU without their second 1900 01:40:31,240 --> 01:40:33,479 Speaker 3: leading scorer. It's a team that's all of a sudden 1901 01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:38,200 Speaker 3: giving up a lot of points and an opportunity, as 1902 01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:40,800 Speaker 3: Joe Daniman said, for the Bearcats to make a little 1903 01:40:40,800 --> 01:40:43,560 Speaker 3: bit of a statement, that's what they have. They have 1904 01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:49,080 Speaker 3: two Quad one opportunities left tonight at Fifthirth Arena, quad 1905 01:40:49,160 --> 01:40:53,160 Speaker 3: one opportunity on the road at TCU this weekend. And 1906 01:40:53,400 --> 01:40:58,760 Speaker 3: if you follow the net rankings in college basketball, TCU 1907 01:40:58,920 --> 01:41:03,799 Speaker 3: is high enough in the net that that would quantify 1908 01:41:03,840 --> 01:41:06,320 Speaker 3: as a Quad one win right now on the road 1909 01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:10,960 Speaker 3: at TCU the latest net rankings, I was pulling them 1910 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,960 Speaker 3: up just a moment ago. TCU's forty fifth in the net. 1911 01:41:14,080 --> 01:41:17,040 Speaker 3: So it's still an opportunity at a Quad one for 1912 01:41:17,120 --> 01:41:21,280 Speaker 3: the Bearcats, who right now quad one wins on the season, 1913 01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:27,880 Speaker 3: they're two for ten. That number could change drastically if 1914 01:41:27,920 --> 01:41:32,479 Speaker 3: you get to four in ten Quad one opportunities. They're 1915 01:41:32,479 --> 01:41:35,479 Speaker 3: four and two in those quad two opportunities. So it's 1916 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:40,000 Speaker 3: an interesting team. It's an interesting case study. But here's 1917 01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:44,679 Speaker 3: my overall thought on the Bearcats. Who will honor Gisel 1918 01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:49,920 Speaker 3: James tonight? I'm not sorry they honored Dayde Thomas, Jayleen, Celestine, 1919 01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:58,120 Speaker 3: Babba Miller. It's an opportunity to one finish the Big Twelve. 1920 01:41:58,200 --> 01:42:00,479 Speaker 3: If they win tonight, they guarantee you five hund finishing 1921 01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:02,680 Speaker 3: the Big twelve. If they win the next two, that's 1922 01:42:02,720 --> 01:42:07,519 Speaker 3: a ten and eight Big Twelve season. That's good. Then 1923 01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:09,320 Speaker 3: they go to the Big twelve tournament and if they 1924 01:42:09,400 --> 01:42:12,679 Speaker 3: win two in that, now it's a twenty win team. 1925 01:42:13,240 --> 01:42:15,320 Speaker 3: So if you're going down the committee list, you say, okay, 1926 01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,639 Speaker 3: twenty wins, what are they in the Big twelve? Ten 1927 01:42:18,680 --> 01:42:23,120 Speaker 3: and eight? Well, what are their wins? Kansas on the road, 1928 01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:27,000 Speaker 3: Iowa state? You would add BYU, you would add TCU. 1929 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,960 Speaker 3: All of a sudden, the resume gets built and built 1930 01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,160 Speaker 3: and built a little bit higher. So none of this happens, 1931 01:42:34,600 --> 01:42:37,439 Speaker 3: none of it if you don't take care of business tonight. 1932 01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:42,840 Speaker 3: But take care of business tonight, and that conversation gets 1933 01:42:43,040 --> 01:42:45,479 Speaker 3: a little more real, leading into Saturday, and if you 1934 01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:49,800 Speaker 3: win Saturday, that conversation certainly goes up to another level 1935 01:42:50,200 --> 01:42:53,960 Speaker 3: the following weekend. So the Bearcats are here in this 1936 01:42:54,080 --> 01:42:56,120 Speaker 3: spot because they lost, call it what it is, to 1937 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:58,000 Speaker 3: Eastern Michigan, and they lost to Xavier, who are not 1938 01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:01,519 Speaker 3: having good seasons. The other losses you could probably get 1939 01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:05,479 Speaker 3: away with, maybe one of the West Virginia games, maybe 1940 01:43:05,520 --> 01:43:07,559 Speaker 3: Arizona State. But even though you look past that, because 1941 01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:10,799 Speaker 3: it's tough in the Big Twelve, it's the non conference 1942 01:43:10,840 --> 01:43:15,240 Speaker 3: that has crushed the Cincinnati Bearcats and it's kind of 1943 01:43:15,320 --> 01:43:21,000 Speaker 3: led to this point where it's must win situations now. 1944 01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:24,720 Speaker 3: Surely the last two regular season games, some say, win 1945 01:43:24,880 --> 01:43:27,280 Speaker 3: one Big Twelve tournament game and you got a chance 1946 01:43:27,320 --> 01:43:30,120 Speaker 3: at nineteen. I still think twenty is the number I think. 1947 01:43:30,680 --> 01:43:32,719 Speaker 3: I think a twenty win team with ten Big Twelve 1948 01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:35,800 Speaker 3: wins is hard to keep out of the tournament if 1949 01:43:35,840 --> 01:43:39,160 Speaker 3: you're going on conference strength of schedule. That's just how 1950 01:43:39,200 --> 01:43:42,280 Speaker 3: I view it. Are the buck guys back in action 1951 01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:46,120 Speaker 3: tonight Austin. You get action there tomorrow. They don't play 1952 01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:48,599 Speaker 3: till tomorrow tomorrow, and then they have a big one 1953 01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:52,559 Speaker 3: on Saturday against another bubble team. Uh, with the Indiana Hoosiers. 1954 01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,639 Speaker 4: I can't stop looking at the videos of the big 1955 01:43:56,760 --> 01:44:00,320 Speaker 4: twelve led court. Oh man, that changes to all the 1956 01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:03,559 Speaker 4: different teams courts, and now people are are big scared 1957 01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:06,479 Speaker 4: that this thing is gonna get hacked. I saw that, 1958 01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:11,439 Speaker 4: and there's gonna be some bad stuff potentially on the floor. 1959 01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:14,360 Speaker 4: What do you think about this? Because like they show that, 1960 01:44:14,439 --> 01:44:17,000 Speaker 4: you see one and the floor is black. Yeah, but 1961 01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,840 Speaker 4: then they'll flip to Colorado or Arizona State and it's 1962 01:44:19,920 --> 01:44:21,240 Speaker 4: like a typical wood floor. 1963 01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:22,200 Speaker 17: Yeah. 1964 01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:25,360 Speaker 3: I think it's a cool look. But I just anytime 1965 01:44:25,439 --> 01:44:29,200 Speaker 3: you're talking about technology, like to me, what if there's 1966 01:44:29,240 --> 01:44:31,360 Speaker 3: like a short and all of a sudden, like the 1967 01:44:31,439 --> 01:44:35,840 Speaker 3: three point line just disappears or you know what. I 1968 01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:39,360 Speaker 3: just I I think it's cool. Don't get me wrong. 1969 01:44:39,400 --> 01:44:41,560 Speaker 4: I think it's a it's a it's a How is 1970 01:44:41,600 --> 01:44:45,000 Speaker 4: it possible that it doesn't like it bounces the same 1971 01:44:45,040 --> 01:44:48,599 Speaker 4: as a normal floor would? Also true, that doesn't seem possible, right, 1972 01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:52,240 Speaker 4: I don't think so they say it does. But what 1973 01:44:52,320 --> 01:44:54,479 Speaker 4: if somebody gets hurt then they're gonna blame the floor, 1974 01:44:54,640 --> 01:44:57,160 Speaker 4: And yeah, what if people can shoot poorly because of 1975 01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,320 Speaker 4: the I just I just want to know, is is 1976 01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,240 Speaker 4: this really necessary? 1977 01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:06,040 Speaker 1: It looks cool? 1978 01:45:06,360 --> 01:45:08,439 Speaker 3: Now there are like there are there are places that 1979 01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 3: do like and I've seen this all over now that 1980 01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:14,160 Speaker 3: do like the really cool player intros that have like 1981 01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:18,360 Speaker 3: the sure the dynamic introduction type things videos, But that's 1982 01:45:18,439 --> 01:45:22,719 Speaker 3: more like a projector above the court. This being used 1983 01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:25,880 Speaker 3: throughout the game. I think, is it's gonna be interesting, 1984 01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:27,519 Speaker 3: That's what I was gonna say. Do we know what 1985 01:45:27,600 --> 01:45:30,120 Speaker 3: the plan is like throughout the game? Are they going 1986 01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:32,519 Speaker 3: to change the floor during the game? I would imagine 1987 01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,280 Speaker 3: like timeouts and things like that, it changes all the time, sure, 1988 01:45:35,400 --> 01:45:40,120 Speaker 3: but like during up there, yeah, surely, Like during the game. 1989 01:45:40,160 --> 01:45:42,120 Speaker 3: It's not like can you imagine a three goes in 1990 01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:44,320 Speaker 3: and there's like a fireball that shoots across the court 1991 01:45:44,600 --> 01:45:47,000 Speaker 3: kind of cool, or like when the ball dribbles there's 1992 01:45:47,120 --> 01:45:49,799 Speaker 3: like you can see indents on the court underneath. 1993 01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:52,599 Speaker 4: I've seen yeah, almost like they're playing on glass, yes, 1994 01:45:52,720 --> 01:45:55,920 Speaker 4: breaking or something. Because I have seen floors like this 1995 01:45:56,280 --> 01:46:01,919 Speaker 4: used at practice facilities to like each plays and spacing 1996 01:46:02,040 --> 01:46:04,439 Speaker 4: and positioning, and that I think is cool. I know 1997 01:46:04,520 --> 01:46:07,599 Speaker 4: that that's the case in some NBA places where they're 1998 01:46:07,600 --> 01:46:09,400 Speaker 4: able to do that I just don't know about a 1999 01:46:09,439 --> 01:46:10,640 Speaker 4: full fledged game on it. 2000 01:46:10,880 --> 01:46:11,160 Speaker 3: Okay. 2001 01:46:12,120 --> 01:46:15,120 Speaker 4: Will the floor at some point be broken during the 2002 01:46:15,160 --> 01:46:19,160 Speaker 4: Big twelve Tournament. I think in some way it will be. Okay, 2003 01:46:19,760 --> 01:46:23,000 Speaker 4: I think somebody I think it's a hard foul, comes 2004 01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 4: down hard, just shorts out. 2005 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,800 Speaker 3: And I'm sure to an extent that's something that you'll 2006 01:46:27,840 --> 01:46:31,479 Speaker 3: be able to bet on. Yeah, probably so I know 2007 01:46:31,600 --> 01:46:36,479 Speaker 3: something else you can bet on. Matty long Pants, Matt McClain, 2008 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:41,439 Speaker 3: Matthias w Longball spring training home runs. Let's talk about 2009 01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:44,679 Speaker 3: what home run derby looked like in Goodyear Arizona yesterday, 2010 01:46:45,200 --> 01:46:48,120 Speaker 3: and some other top spring training performances going on around 2011 01:46:48,160 --> 01:46:52,240 Speaker 3: Major League Baseball.

Man, I think this is this is weird. 2023 01:47:39,240 --> 01:47:41,160 Speaker 3: I think you cried the first time we played this 2024 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,880 Speaker 3: on Might half. I know I had goosebumps. Yeah, it's 2025 01:47:44,880 --> 01:47:47,840 Speaker 3: hard not to just let songs like this go. I 2026 01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:51,760 Speaker 3: know it's not what we're supposed to do anyway, man, 2027 01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:58,560 Speaker 3: But when those gates swing open wide, come on in, 2028 01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:07,160 Speaker 3: come home in none to see here, it's tough. It's 2029 01:48:07,160 --> 01:48:09,920 Speaker 3: a daily battle, gates of hell. That's what pictuers see 2030 01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:12,640 Speaker 3: when going up against Maddy long Pants. I mean, not 2031 01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:15,240 Speaker 3: only Maddy long Pants, how about this whole roster right now. 2032 01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:20,840 Speaker 3: Oh kidd, bad day to be a Cub pitcher yesterday. 2033 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:24,960 Speaker 3: Not a great day to be Brady Singer either, But well, 2034 01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:26,439 Speaker 3: Brady Singer didn't get any help. 2035 01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:27,960 Speaker 4: I don't know if there was something going on with 2036 01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:31,559 Speaker 4: that high sky out there in Arizona, but nobody seemed 2037 01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:33,559 Speaker 4: to be able to catch the baseball even when they 2038 01:48:33,600 --> 01:48:34,400 Speaker 4: hit him in the gloves. 2039 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,519 Speaker 3: You think it was hiding something out there A little 2040 01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:39,200 Speaker 3: bit tell you they're just The way that they just 2041 01:48:39,320 --> 01:48:42,360 Speaker 3: give out hits is crazy. Yeah. 2042 01:48:42,560 --> 01:48:45,759 Speaker 4: I think Tommy Thrall described the official scorer as Oprah 2043 01:48:45,840 --> 01:48:47,719 Speaker 4: down the hall, giving hits away to everybody. 2044 01:48:47,840 --> 01:48:48,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. 2045 01:48:48,080 --> 01:48:49,960 Speaker 3: I looked at the box square to the game, and 2046 01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 3: I saw that there wasn't one air charged to the 2047 01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:57,280 Speaker 3: Reds yesterday. And that's wrong. It's not ideal, and Brady 2048 01:48:57,320 --> 01:48:59,400 Speaker 3: Singer is the one that has to answer for that. Yeah, 2049 01:48:59,479 --> 01:49:03,040 Speaker 3: poor guy. Brady Singer's final line two winning, seven hits, 2050 01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:05,920 Speaker 3: five earned runed, earned runs, with two walks. 2051 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,559 Speaker 4: The worst part about that is the walks. Yeah, those 2052 01:49:08,960 --> 01:49:12,479 Speaker 4: runs are not all earned. And it was his first 2053 01:49:12,520 --> 01:49:15,320 Speaker 4: appearance of the spring. Brady Singer did not pitch as 2054 01:49:15,400 --> 01:49:17,519 Speaker 4: poorly as that line would indicate. 2055 01:49:18,400 --> 01:49:25,400 Speaker 3: Agreed, Agreed, But nonetheless, the walks are are talking point 2056 01:49:26,160 --> 01:49:28,800 Speaker 3: going forward. I'll tell you what I also want to 2057 01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,120 Speaker 3: make note of. Tj Antone had a nice inning yesterday. 2058 01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,639 Speaker 3: And I'm not just saying this because you know he's 2059 01:49:35,680 --> 01:49:38,679 Speaker 3: a friend of the show, but I hope tj Antone 2060 01:49:38,680 --> 01:49:39,800 Speaker 3: finds a way to make this roster. 2061 01:49:40,200 --> 01:49:40,400 Speaker 8: Yeah. 2062 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:42,639 Speaker 4: I mean if Graham Ashcraft keeps doing what he's doing, 2063 01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:47,400 Speaker 4: but I wouldn't, I wouldn't have a legitimate shot to 2064 01:49:47,520 --> 01:49:48,320 Speaker 4: make the ball club. 2065 01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:52,560 Speaker 3: But you talk about a guy multiple Tommy John surgeries 2066 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:55,840 Speaker 3: that is still going out there and still trying to 2067 01:49:55,880 --> 01:49:58,880 Speaker 3: make a ball club. I give him credit for what 2068 01:49:58,920 --> 01:50:02,719 Speaker 3: he's doing and what he's going through, and hope nothing 2069 01:50:02,800 --> 01:50:05,439 Speaker 3: more than to see him succeed. Sam Mall had a 2070 01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:11,680 Speaker 3: two strikeout, scoreless inning as well. Brandon Williamson also when 2071 01:50:11,800 --> 01:50:14,280 Speaker 3: two innings, struck out two, did walk one, but did 2072 01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:17,479 Speaker 3: not give up a hit. For the Cincinnati Reds, yesterday 2073 01:50:17,600 --> 01:50:20,200 Speaker 3: was not as much about the pitching, though, It was 2074 01:50:20,280 --> 01:50:24,559 Speaker 3: about what this team did at the plate. Noelve Marte, 2075 01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:30,280 Speaker 3: Garrett Hampson, Reese Hines, Matt McClain twice. I said, Matt 2076 01:50:30,360 --> 01:50:35,360 Speaker 3: McClain twice, you want to talk about seeing the ball, clearly. 2077 01:50:35,520 --> 01:50:39,120 Speaker 3: South Stewart also hit a home and it's not like 2078 01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,200 Speaker 3: these guys are hitting home runs Austin that are just 2079 01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:47,000 Speaker 3: clearing the wall. These guys are hitting bombs, right, absolute bombs. 2080 01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:49,240 Speaker 3: And look, I know every game is not going to 2081 01:50:49,280 --> 01:50:52,200 Speaker 3: come together like it did yesterday, But you don't just 2082 01:50:52,240 --> 01:50:55,040 Speaker 3: talk about the home runs, you know, you talk about 2083 01:50:55,400 --> 01:50:58,120 Speaker 3: key Brian Hayes with a nice double into the gap. 2084 01:50:58,200 --> 01:51:01,120 Speaker 3: Spencer Steer got him off an extra base hit. It 2085 01:51:01,720 --> 01:51:04,200 Speaker 3: was one of those games where it just felt like 2086 01:51:04,280 --> 01:51:07,840 Speaker 3: kind of everything coming together for the Cincinnati read south Stewart, 2087 01:51:07,840 --> 01:51:09,680 Speaker 3: along with that home run, had a double in the 2088 01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:10,360 Speaker 3: game as well. 2089 01:51:11,160 --> 01:51:14,040 Speaker 4: I think what I liked from yesterday's game is the 2090 01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:19,439 Speaker 4: mix of patients and really punishing the pitches that were 2091 01:51:19,520 --> 01:51:22,280 Speaker 4: in the zone. They had eight walks as a team 2092 01:51:22,960 --> 01:51:26,400 Speaker 4: and just four strikeouts. Sign me up for that every 2093 01:51:26,600 --> 01:51:30,880 Speaker 4: single time I possibly can have it. I think Hayes 2094 01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:32,800 Speaker 4: is a good example of that. McClain, I think is 2095 01:51:32,840 --> 01:51:34,680 Speaker 4: the best example of that. There were a couple of 2096 01:51:35,320 --> 01:51:39,000 Speaker 4: plate appearances in which you could just tell he was 2097 01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:43,080 Speaker 4: seeing the ball really well and could immediately say, Okay, 2098 01:51:43,160 --> 01:51:45,800 Speaker 4: that is a non competitive pitch. I'm not even worried 2099 01:51:45,800 --> 01:51:48,320 Speaker 4: about it. I'm not even considering that pitch. I'm spitting 2100 01:51:48,360 --> 01:51:52,280 Speaker 4: on it. And for him to be able to obviously 2101 01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:55,040 Speaker 4: be that locked in, I think is a really good 2102 01:51:55,120 --> 01:51:58,360 Speaker 4: sign about his approach and the adjustments that he's made, 2103 01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:00,280 Speaker 4: and I think it's also a good sign for the 2104 01:52:00,360 --> 01:52:02,840 Speaker 4: rest of the team. Key Brian Hayes was one of 2105 01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:06,720 Speaker 4: those guys two hits and a walk. Jose Travino had 2106 01:52:06,760 --> 01:52:10,439 Speaker 4: a walk, JJ Blede had to walk, Sal Stewart walked, 2107 01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:13,960 Speaker 4: TJ Friedo walked. Like all of these guys being able 2108 01:52:14,040 --> 01:52:19,000 Speaker 4: to really, you know, not swinging at pitches outside the 2109 01:52:19,080 --> 01:52:20,519 Speaker 4: zone that are going to get them in trouble or 2110 01:52:20,560 --> 01:52:22,400 Speaker 4: turn them into easy outs. I think that's been a 2111 01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:25,799 Speaker 4: theme for the most part offensively to this point in spring. 2112 01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:28,759 Speaker 3: I think it's worth noting, and Joe danim Gonna alluded 2113 01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:30,880 Speaker 3: to this as well, and it's a smaller sample size. 2114 01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:35,080 Speaker 3: I like the thought process here. Matt McClain, We've talked 2115 01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:36,479 Speaker 3: a lot about him, we will talk a lot about 2116 01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,040 Speaker 3: him because he's such a key part of this team. 2117 01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:47,920 Speaker 3: So far, one strikeout in spring training this year. So 2118 01:52:48,360 --> 01:52:51,400 Speaker 3: I just look at a guy in Matt McClain who 2119 01:52:52,160 --> 01:52:55,240 Speaker 3: last year struggled so much. In fourteen at bats this year, 2120 01:52:55,920 --> 01:52:59,880 Speaker 3: a double, three home runs, nine RBIs, he's walked three 2121 01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:03,000 Speaker 3: times and struck out just once. For a guy who's 2122 01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:06,240 Speaker 3: swinging mis rate was so high last year and became 2123 01:53:06,360 --> 01:53:09,679 Speaker 3: so problematic, that was really really good to see yesterday 2124 01:53:10,320 --> 01:53:12,720 Speaker 3: the strikeout numbers as a whole. As you mentioned being 2125 01:53:12,840 --> 01:53:15,200 Speaker 3: down for the Cincinnati Reds, I thought it was good 2126 01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:18,519 Speaker 3: to see Spencer Steer get himself an extra base hit. 2127 01:53:18,600 --> 01:53:22,559 Speaker 3: But anytime you put up seventeen runs and you hit 2128 01:53:22,640 --> 01:53:24,840 Speaker 3: fourteen times, there's not going to be a lot that 2129 01:53:24,920 --> 01:53:26,080 Speaker 3: you don't like from an outing like that. 2130 01:53:26,360 --> 01:53:29,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, and there are certainly things that you take it 2131 01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,760 Speaker 4: with a grain of salt, like out there in Arizona, 2132 01:53:32,880 --> 01:53:35,360 Speaker 4: breaking balls don't move as much just because of the 2133 01:53:35,400 --> 01:53:38,040 Speaker 4: way that the air and sometimes they can hang up 2134 01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:41,240 Speaker 4: there and sometimes they can kind of flatten. But I 2135 01:53:41,320 --> 01:53:44,760 Speaker 4: mean everybody is going through that. Every pitcher is dealing 2136 01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:47,880 Speaker 4: with that, and it's not uncommon. And there are also 2137 01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:50,160 Speaker 4: guys that don't hit the ball very well in spring training. 2138 01:53:50,680 --> 01:53:52,240 Speaker 4: And the other part to me that I think is 2139 01:53:52,439 --> 01:53:56,479 Speaker 4: important is they put up six earned runs on Jamison 2140 01:53:56,600 --> 01:54:00,240 Speaker 4: tie On hit two homers against Jamison Town. It's the 2141 01:54:00,320 --> 01:54:02,840 Speaker 4: Cubs were out there throwing their worst minor leaguers. I mean, 2142 01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:05,519 Speaker 4: James and Tyne has had a very good big league 2143 01:54:05,600 --> 01:54:09,040 Speaker 4: career and he's no slouts. He's gonna be a guy 2144 01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:11,240 Speaker 4: who pitches some big innings for the Cubs this year. 2145 01:54:11,320 --> 01:54:14,000 Speaker 4: And so to be able to do that against quality 2146 01:54:14,080 --> 01:54:18,240 Speaker 4: pitching and not just low end non roster guys is important. 2147 01:54:18,880 --> 01:54:22,840 Speaker 3: Mentioned this with Joe Daneman at the start of our 2148 01:54:22,960 --> 01:54:26,559 Speaker 3: number two but MLB dot com David Adler put together 2149 01:54:26,600 --> 01:54:31,320 Speaker 3: a list of some of Spring training's most impressive performers 2150 01:54:31,920 --> 01:54:36,000 Speaker 3: up to this point cutting off today, and Chase Burns 2151 01:54:36,160 --> 01:54:39,600 Speaker 3: was listed on that list number one. He had Carlos 2152 01:54:40,280 --> 01:54:44,480 Speaker 3: Lagrange for the Yankees. His average fastball velocity has been 2153 01:54:44,520 --> 01:54:47,520 Speaker 3: at one hundred miles an hour. Twenty two year old 2154 01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,800 Speaker 3: prospect has been killing it for the Yankees. Number two 2155 01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:54,120 Speaker 3: Caglioni for the Royals. Number three we've talked about Connor 2156 01:54:54,120 --> 01:54:56,360 Speaker 3: Griffin a lot for the Pittsburgh Pirates, but number four 2157 01:54:56,400 --> 01:54:59,840 Speaker 3: on his list Chase Burns. Last year four or five 2158 01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:05,000 Speaker 3: seven ERA. It says as a rookie that era doesn't 2159 01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:09,440 Speaker 3: show ridiculously how nasty he is. Pay attention to the 2160 01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:12,680 Speaker 3: thirty six percent strikeout rate and thirty two percent swinging 2161 01:55:12,760 --> 01:55:16,040 Speaker 3: mis rate last year, and he's doin it again this year. 2162 01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:21,000 Speaker 3: Two outings so far, he's getting swinging misses on fifty 2163 01:55:21,080 --> 01:55:25,000 Speaker 3: four percent of his pitches. That's the second highest wift 2164 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:27,680 Speaker 3: rate of any pitcher with at least twenty five swings 2165 01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,840 Speaker 3: that get him against him in spring training ninety seven 2166 01:55:30,920 --> 01:55:33,720 Speaker 3: average on the fastball, forty one percent with rate. And 2167 01:55:33,760 --> 01:55:36,640 Speaker 3: how about this Austin the slider that we talked about 2168 01:55:36,640 --> 01:55:40,920 Speaker 3: with Chase Burns seventy five percent with rate, ninety mile 2169 01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:44,200 Speaker 3: an hour average right now, he has been absolutely nasty. 2170 01:55:44,720 --> 01:55:47,800 Speaker 3: And others, not just here in Cincinnati, anyone that's been 2171 01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:50,200 Speaker 3: at spring training, has talked about Chase Burns. He's being 2172 01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:52,080 Speaker 3: talked about at a national level as well. Right now, 2173 01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:56,000 Speaker 3: he's been awesome. Let's take a break. When we come back, 2174 01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:58,600 Speaker 3: We'll grab a couple of your phone calls before getting 2175 01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:11,520 Speaker 3: to Moeger ONPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. Welcome back, 2176 01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:16,400 Speaker 3: since he three to sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 2177 01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:18,920 Speaker 3: Before we get to Mowago, Let's grab a couple of 2178 01:56:19,000 --> 01:56:21,480 Speaker 3: your phone calls. Greg is calling in. What's going on? Greg? 2179 01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,879 Speaker 34: How much you know when you were mentioning the Aracats 2180 01:56:25,960 --> 01:56:27,920 Speaker 34: what they had to do. And you know I've heard 2181 01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:31,360 Speaker 34: this before, you know, on Selection Sunday. But I think 2182 01:56:31,440 --> 01:56:35,200 Speaker 34: another real big thing to add is if, and that's 2183 01:56:35,240 --> 01:56:38,320 Speaker 34: a big if they can get that four game winning streak, 2184 01:56:38,400 --> 01:56:42,080 Speaker 34: because I've heard over the years they said, well, this 2185 01:56:42,200 --> 01:56:45,000 Speaker 34: team only won nineteen games, but you know they won 2186 01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:48,120 Speaker 34: sticked out of their last seven. They had a strong finish, 2187 01:56:48,200 --> 01:56:51,720 Speaker 34: and I think that strong finish really sticks out any 2188 01:56:51,760 --> 01:56:55,760 Speaker 34: way he can get it. And then on Maddy Longpans, 2189 01:56:57,120 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 34: I really think that the fact that he had such 2190 01:57:00,640 --> 01:57:03,920 Speaker 34: he had a shoulder injury, and I'm just hoping that 2191 01:57:04,080 --> 01:57:06,640 Speaker 34: that's what kept him down. And you know I always 2192 01:57:06,720 --> 01:57:10,040 Speaker 34: parking back to you know, Devin Mezeraka about fifteen years 2193 01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:14,440 Speaker 34: ago that shoulder injury finished him. So you know, I 2194 01:57:14,800 --> 01:57:18,320 Speaker 34: just think that could be, you know, let's holding him back. 2195 01:57:18,560 --> 01:57:20,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, one day I want. 2196 01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:23,360 Speaker 34: To mention, Uh, you know, I always like Mike's phone calls. 2197 01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:25,720 Speaker 34: But he said I think was last week we were 2198 01:57:25,760 --> 01:57:29,280 Speaker 34: talking about Gus Bell and Wally Post and how Gus 2199 01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:33,240 Speaker 34: Bell finished is a platoon with Wally Well, let me tell. 2200 01:57:33,080 --> 01:57:34,600 Speaker 3: You that never happened. 2201 01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:39,520 Speaker 34: Gus Bell was a good hitter. He's probably the top 2202 01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:41,880 Speaker 34: center other than Willie Mays back in the day. He 2203 01:57:42,040 --> 01:57:44,080 Speaker 34: was the top center fielder period. 2204 01:57:44,480 --> 01:57:48,080 Speaker 11: And he didn't push him with with Wally Post. 2205 01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:49,720 Speaker 8: So anyway, that's not a big deal. 2206 01:57:49,800 --> 01:57:52,640 Speaker 34: But I guess that wasn't the fact for Mike. 2207 01:57:53,400 --> 01:57:56,200 Speaker 3: All good by the way we play at noon on Sunday, 2208 01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:56,920 Speaker 3: tournament action. 2209 01:57:58,160 --> 01:57:59,000 Speaker 29: So what that was? 2210 01:57:59,360 --> 01:57:59,800 Speaker 3: That's great? 2211 01:58:01,080 --> 01:58:04,360 Speaker 40: When is the time of my most important. 2212 01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:11,920 Speaker 3: That's it noon high noon on Sunday. Okay, I love it. 2213 01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:15,920 Speaker 3: Thanks Greg, Hey see Budd, you know, shout out Austin 2214 01:58:15,960 --> 01:58:18,120 Speaker 3: to Greg who has back to back weeks come and 2215 01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:21,200 Speaker 3: checked out the Evendale Rec League on Sunday and was 2216 01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:24,080 Speaker 3: nice enough this past Sunday he brought me a birthday 2217 01:58:24,120 --> 01:58:25,840 Speaker 3: card wow from him and his wife. 2218 01:58:25,880 --> 01:58:28,800 Speaker 4: Well, Greg is incredibly kind to his and I, you know, 2219 01:58:28,880 --> 01:58:32,360 Speaker 4: I worry he must not have much going on. If 2220 01:58:32,400 --> 01:58:36,040 Speaker 4: he's goings on Sundays back to back weeks. 2221 01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:38,440 Speaker 3: That's it. You want to talk about missing football season? 2222 01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:42,400 Speaker 3: Tournament time coming up on Sunday as well. We're ready 2223 01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:44,840 Speaker 3: to go. Uh, Mike is calling him? 2224 01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:45,160 Speaker 8: What's up? 2225 01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:45,400 Speaker 3: Mike? 2226 01:58:47,200 --> 01:58:50,080 Speaker 40: Hey, guys, thanks for letting me on. Did that guy 2227 01:58:50,120 --> 01:58:53,760 Speaker 40: that just called say something about Wally Posted with Gush Bell? 2228 01:58:54,280 --> 01:58:57,120 Speaker 3: That's he said that? You were incorrect? 2229 01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:02,120 Speaker 40: You're well, he's dead ass. Well, I don't know who 2230 01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:03,920 Speaker 40: this clown is, but he's wrong. 2231 01:59:03,960 --> 01:59:06,480 Speaker 3: All right, we don't need to call names. We like Greg. 2232 01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:07,560 Speaker 3: Greg's a good guy. 2233 01:59:08,600 --> 01:59:10,480 Speaker 40: I'm sure he is a good guy. But he's wrong 2234 01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:14,680 Speaker 40: on that because Wally Posts only played right field or 2235 01:59:14,800 --> 01:59:17,480 Speaker 40: left field, I'm sorry, and gust Beell only played left 2236 01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:21,600 Speaker 40: field wide because Frank Robinson owned right field and Vada 2237 01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:25,440 Speaker 40: Penston owned center field. So you're wrong, my friends. I'm 2238 01:59:25,440 --> 01:59:27,280 Speaker 40: sure you're a wonderful man, but you're wrong. 2239 01:59:28,040 --> 01:59:30,080 Speaker 4: Well, they both you know, if you go back to 2240 01:59:30,200 --> 01:59:32,600 Speaker 4: the fifties, Mike, I mean they're both when they were 2241 01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:34,720 Speaker 4: both playing for the Reds, They're both played at one 2242 01:59:34,800 --> 01:59:36,520 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty plus games a year. 2243 01:59:39,640 --> 01:59:41,840 Speaker 40: Well, no, they both didn't play one hundred and fifty 2244 01:59:41,880 --> 01:59:44,480 Speaker 40: plus games a year because they platooned him in left field. 2245 01:59:44,880 --> 01:59:47,480 Speaker 4: I'm looking at the stats right now. In fifty four, 2246 01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:51,640 Speaker 4: Gus Bell played in one hundred and fifty three games 2247 01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:53,920 Speaker 4: with the Reds. In fifty five he played one hundred 2248 01:59:53,920 --> 01:59:55,840 Speaker 4: and fifty four, and fifty six he played in one 2249 01:59:55,920 --> 01:59:58,760 Speaker 4: hundred and fifty. What about Wally and Wally post in 2250 01:59:58,880 --> 02:00:01,480 Speaker 4: nineteen fifty four plus one hundred and thirty. In nineteen 2251 02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:03,480 Speaker 4: fifty five he played in one hundred and fifty four. 2252 02:00:03,560 --> 02:00:05,880 Speaker 4: In nineteen fifty six he played one hundred and forty three. 2253 02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:09,600 Speaker 40: And here's the reason for that, because Gus was a 2254 02:00:09,720 --> 02:00:13,680 Speaker 40: left handed left fielder, which is more advantageous, and he 2255 02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:17,160 Speaker 40: he a lot of times came in for defensive reasons 2256 02:00:17,240 --> 02:00:20,520 Speaker 40: depending on the pitcher. Anyway, I won't be labor that point, 2257 02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:24,240 Speaker 40: but I know what I saw at Crosley Field probably 2258 02:00:24,320 --> 02:00:28,120 Speaker 40: fifty times as a young Laddiebucks and the guy that 2259 02:00:28,240 --> 02:00:32,280 Speaker 40: called earlier that said, you know, if Wes Miller's smart, 2260 02:00:32,880 --> 02:00:36,600 Speaker 40: he'll double team the prolific scorer from bringing me up 2261 02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:39,640 Speaker 40: well breddy. If it was that easy, everybody would have 2262 02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:40,160 Speaker 40: done that and. 2263 02:00:40,200 --> 02:00:41,720 Speaker 11: The guy wouldn't be the scorer or he is. 2264 02:00:41,840 --> 02:00:44,000 Speaker 40: So it's not as easy as that, am I correct? 2265 02:00:44,040 --> 02:00:48,400 Speaker 3: Tony correct? I think what's the hardest part about Debonsta 2266 02:00:49,120 --> 02:00:52,200 Speaker 3: is his game is all around. He's very hard to 2267 02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:55,120 Speaker 3: double because of how well he moves without the basketball. 2268 02:00:55,520 --> 02:00:57,480 Speaker 3: He's not just a guy that requires the ball in 2269 02:00:57,560 --> 02:01:00,560 Speaker 3: his hands at all times. And if you look at 2270 02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:05,920 Speaker 3: the success other teams have had UCF crushed BYU, de 2271 02:01:06,040 --> 02:01:09,160 Speaker 3: Bonsta had twenty nine. He had thirty five in a 2272 02:01:09,240 --> 02:01:12,560 Speaker 3: loss against Arizona. He had thirty six and a two 2273 02:01:12,600 --> 02:01:16,760 Speaker 3: point win against Baylor. What I'm getting at is there 2274 02:01:16,800 --> 02:01:18,800 Speaker 3: are a lot of games this year that BYU has 2275 02:01:18,920 --> 02:01:23,200 Speaker 3: lost and de Bonsta has had fantastic games without Saunders. 2276 02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:26,200 Speaker 3: My approach would be, Okay, I know de bons is 2277 02:01:26,240 --> 02:01:29,000 Speaker 3: going to get his I can't let anybody else go off. 2278 02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:31,640 Speaker 3: If I can contain the other four and de bons 2279 02:01:31,680 --> 02:01:34,160 Speaker 3: to scores thirty, I still think the Bearcats can win 2280 02:01:34,240 --> 02:01:34,480 Speaker 3: the game. 2281 02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:39,800 Speaker 40: I well I know the Bearcats can win the game 2282 02:01:39,840 --> 02:01:42,320 Speaker 40: if those two big guys do anything and then deep 2283 02:01:42,480 --> 02:01:44,920 Speaker 40: data shows up. Yeah, for a change, I. 2284 02:01:45,000 --> 02:01:47,200 Speaker 3: Just don't think you put so much focus on AJ 2285 02:01:47,800 --> 02:01:50,720 Speaker 3: because other teams haven't. He's gonna get his points. Just 2286 02:01:50,760 --> 02:01:53,080 Speaker 3: don't let anyone else go off for big nights against you. 2287 02:01:54,160 --> 02:01:54,640 Speaker 9: I got you. 2288 02:01:54,920 --> 02:01:56,080 Speaker 40: Well, we're rooting for the Cats. 2289 02:01:56,160 --> 02:01:59,080 Speaker 11: Cards. Let's see if you give. 2290 02:01:59,040 --> 02:02:01,600 Speaker 40: Me another minute, get my brain back in gear here. 2291 02:02:03,920 --> 02:02:08,880 Speaker 40: Do you think it's possible if if if Burns and 2292 02:02:09,200 --> 02:02:12,320 Speaker 40: either Petty or what's the other guys the other loud 2293 02:02:12,400 --> 02:02:15,960 Speaker 40: good rookie. Yeah, if either one of those guys turns 2294 02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:19,040 Speaker 40: out great. I wonder if Tito would consider a six 2295 02:02:19,160 --> 02:02:21,879 Speaker 40: man rotation because there are two or three other managers 2296 02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:24,440 Speaker 40: in the league that are going to six man rotations 2297 02:02:24,520 --> 02:02:26,280 Speaker 40: this year to save from arms. 2298 02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:28,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the big thing. I think it's 2299 02:02:28,640 --> 02:02:31,200 Speaker 3: the it's the inning. Is there an inning restriction on 2300 02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:33,880 Speaker 3: Chase Burns? Is there one on Red Louder? Because that 2301 02:02:33,960 --> 02:02:37,280 Speaker 3: would maybe help you out in that sense. But but 2302 02:02:37,360 --> 02:02:40,040 Speaker 3: I look what Joe Daneman said today. He could see 2303 02:02:40,480 --> 02:02:42,680 Speaker 3: a scenario where by the end of the year, Chase 2304 02:02:42,720 --> 02:02:44,720 Speaker 3: Burns is not battling for the fit spot. But he's 2305 02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,320 Speaker 3: he's your two or three in the rotation. I think 2306 02:02:47,320 --> 02:02:48,520 Speaker 3: he's got that much upside. 2307 02:02:49,400 --> 02:02:52,160 Speaker 40: Well, let's hope. So boy, that would be an awesome situation, 2308 02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:52,680 Speaker 40: wouldn't it. 2309 02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:56,120 Speaker 3: Yes, seventy five rate on the slider right now is 2310 02:02:56,160 --> 02:02:56,600 Speaker 3: pretty good. 2311 02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:59,760 Speaker 40: That's pretty good. But again, we can't put something we 2312 02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,360 Speaker 40: don't want to get too high on this spring training stuff. 2313 02:03:02,360 --> 02:03:04,880 Speaker 40: I mean, it's hard not to because you do it 2314 02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:09,200 Speaker 40: out of out of hope, right out of like yeah, 2315 02:03:09,520 --> 02:03:14,280 Speaker 40: but it's but it's really not very realistic. And last, 2316 02:03:14,320 --> 02:03:17,120 Speaker 40: but not least, I think the four best teams in 2317 02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:22,280 Speaker 40: college basketball Arizona, Yukon, Florida, and Duke. That's not a 2318 02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:27,160 Speaker 40: genius revelation. However, wouldn't it be cool if each one 2319 02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:29,960 Speaker 40: could be in a separate region, if they would do 2320 02:03:30,040 --> 02:03:32,200 Speaker 40: it the way they should, Yukon would be in the East, 2321 02:03:32,880 --> 02:03:37,640 Speaker 40: Duke would be in the Southeast. I don't know then 2322 02:03:37,720 --> 02:03:40,200 Speaker 40: Cozona is going to be out west, so it depends 2323 02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:42,400 Speaker 40: how they distribute Yukon, Florida and Duke. 2324 02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:45,600 Speaker 3: Right yes, I think right now it's it's hard to 2325 02:03:45,600 --> 02:03:47,400 Speaker 3: go against Florida, but it's also hard to go against 2326 02:03:47,440 --> 02:03:48,880 Speaker 3: the way Duke's playing right now as well. 2327 02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:52,680 Speaker 40: You're right, But I just hope that two of those 2328 02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:56,040 Speaker 40: teams aren't in the same dog gone, because then you're 2329 02:03:56,080 --> 02:03:59,080 Speaker 40: not going to see one of them. Yeah, and you 2330 02:03:59,200 --> 02:04:02,520 Speaker 40: see any team at this point that you think could 2331 02:04:02,640 --> 02:04:06,200 Speaker 40: just get hot and blow people. I thought of Arkansas, 2332 02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:07,000 Speaker 40: but not anymore. 2333 02:04:07,280 --> 02:04:10,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I think over the next week 2334 02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:12,400 Speaker 3: or so you still might see a little bit of separation. 2335 02:04:12,560 --> 02:04:18,280 Speaker 3: Michigan State's always dangerous this time of the year. Yeah, Michigan. Yeah, 2336 02:04:18,320 --> 02:04:21,400 Speaker 3: Michigan with their bigs in the style they play. I 2337 02:04:21,480 --> 02:04:24,120 Speaker 3: think Saint John's if they're playing the right basketball and 2338 02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:26,280 Speaker 3: can score it. Alabama is always a team because of 2339 02:04:26,320 --> 02:04:29,560 Speaker 3: the percentage in which they shoot outside. But those top 2340 02:04:29,640 --> 02:04:31,720 Speaker 3: four right now are those top five when you throw 2341 02:04:31,760 --> 02:04:33,680 Speaker 3: Floord into the mix. I think it's hard to go 2342 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:34,440 Speaker 3: against any of that. 2343 02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:40,600 Speaker 40: Austin, are you going over to Tony's March Madness party 2344 02:04:40,680 --> 02:04:43,200 Speaker 40: on Friday when you guys are off, It's gonna be wild? 2345 02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:43,480 Speaker 13: No? 2346 02:04:44,400 --> 02:04:46,200 Speaker 3: I didn't ortunately. 2347 02:04:47,440 --> 02:04:49,880 Speaker 40: Yeah, my buddy goes down to that bar everybody likes 2348 02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:52,480 Speaker 40: and ready, and he said, the deal is, everybody's going 2349 02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:56,400 Speaker 40: to Tony's house that's. 2350 02:04:55,480 --> 02:04:57,520 Speaker 3: News to me.

In twenty twelve, I went 2375 02:06:34,520 --> 02:06:38,720 Speaker 25: through a divorce. My first wife and I got separated 2376 02:06:38,760 --> 02:06:43,640 Speaker 25: in April, but we had the divorce hearing in July. 2377 02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:46,400 Speaker 25: Very amicable divorce, so you have to get a divorce. 2378 02:06:46,960 --> 02:06:49,560 Speaker 8: This was the way to do it. But I remember, 2379 02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:50,760 Speaker 8: like after three. 2380 02:06:50,640 --> 02:06:53,800 Speaker 25: Months of kind of knowing, like, all right, the court 2381 02:06:53,920 --> 02:06:57,120 Speaker 25: date is here, walking into that courthouse with her and 2382 02:06:57,160 --> 02:07:01,720 Speaker 25: looking at her, going like really this And that's how 2383 02:07:01,760 --> 02:07:03,080 Speaker 25: I feel about Trey Hendrickson. 2384 02:07:03,320 --> 02:07:06,920 Speaker 8: Man, I'm ready to move on, but I'm not entirely sure. 2385 02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:07,640 Speaker 8: I'm ready to move on. 2386 02:07:09,160 --> 02:07:11,600 Speaker 25: I have and we have, together, the three of us, 2387 02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:16,240 Speaker 25: we have milked this cow to the point that the 2388 02:07:16,360 --> 02:07:17,280 Speaker 25: Teats have rations. 2389 02:07:18,600 --> 02:07:20,160 Speaker 8: The cow has been very good to us. 2390 02:07:20,920 --> 02:07:27,000 Speaker 25: First Ballot fifteen thirty Ring of Honor inductee, So as 2391 02:07:27,080 --> 02:07:30,080 Speaker 25: a Bengals fan, best free agent signing in the history 2392 02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:33,640 Speaker 25: of the franchise, as a sports talk radio host, Trey, 2393 02:07:34,600 --> 02:07:37,160 Speaker 25: thank you, yes, thank you for the last two years. 2394 02:07:37,280 --> 02:07:39,760 Speaker 3: Thank you for showing up before you went and played eighteen. 2395 02:07:39,920 --> 02:07:42,800 Speaker 25: It's been an absolutely awesome run.

Okay, I'm not 2412 02:08:28,240 --> 02:08:31,080 Speaker 25: sure there's a human being alive who feels more ready 2413 02:08:31,120 --> 02:08:33,880 Speaker 25: to move on from Trey Hendrickson than Paul Danner, mainly 2414 02:08:33,920 --> 02:08:35,600 Speaker 25: because I've made him talk about him every day for 2415 02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:36,120 Speaker 25: two years. 2416 02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:39,720 Speaker 3: Scott's he's going to walk in smoking a cigar today. 2417 02:08:40,560 --> 02:08:41,360 Speaker 8: No, he has one for me. 2418 02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:44,760 Speaker 25: Scott Sadderfield's on the show at four oh five, and 2419 02:08:45,160 --> 02:08:50,200 Speaker 25: Hunter Samsum, the official bracketologist of our show, and apparently 2420 02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:53,960 Speaker 25: Lances does this always happened where I find folks to 2421 02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:55,760 Speaker 25: get on and then they just get cherry picked. 2422 02:08:55,840 --> 02:08:56,000 Speaker 40: Yep. 2423 02:08:56,640 --> 02:08:58,960 Speaker 3: What's hard to think about the Bearcats. We're gonna find 2424 02:08:59,000 --> 02:09:01,280 Speaker 3: out at five oh five. What does he think about 2425 02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:04,839 Speaker 3: the RedHawks? What do you think about the RedHawks? 2426 02:09:05,400 --> 02:09:07,120 Speaker 8: I think if they win their next two games or 2427 02:09:07,160 --> 02:09:08,040 Speaker 8: a tournament team. 2428 02:09:08,440 --> 02:09:10,040 Speaker 3: I said today, if they lose one of the next 2429 02:09:10,080 --> 02:09:12,520 Speaker 3: two and don't win the MAC Championship, it could get dicey. 2430 02:09:13,160 --> 02:09:15,720 Speaker 8: I don't think they're getting in the two losses. They're 2431 02:09:15,720 --> 02:09:16,160 Speaker 8: not getting in. 2432 02:09:16,720 --> 02:09:17,040 Speaker 3: I don't. 2433 02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:20,120 Speaker 25: I mean, i'd feel bad, but I don't think they 2434 02:09:20,200 --> 02:09:22,640 Speaker 25: can survive two losses because they're not Q one. Now 2435 02:09:22,920 --> 02:09:25,600 Speaker 25: we would see if they lost to Akron, but they're 2436 02:09:25,600 --> 02:09:28,080 Speaker 25: not gonna be Q one or Q two losses, lose 2437 02:09:28,120 --> 02:09:31,440 Speaker 25: the Toledo at home and then losing the MAC tournament. 2438 02:09:31,520 --> 02:09:34,320 Speaker 25: I find it unfortunately hard to believe that Miami is 2439 02:09:34,800 --> 02:09:36,360 Speaker 25: gonna have its name called on selections. 2440 02:09:36,400 --> 02:09:40,320 Speaker 3: Signe. I have finalized my Bearcat take. Okay, twenty's the number, 2441 02:09:40,560 --> 02:09:44,360 Speaker 3: okay with the committee. They see twenty wins, they then go, okay, 2442 02:09:44,400 --> 02:09:46,920 Speaker 3: well what are they in the Big twelve? Whoa ten 2443 02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:50,760 Speaker 3: and eight? Okay, winning record in the Big twelve. Maybe 2444 02:09:51,240 --> 02:09:53,280 Speaker 3: at that point they say in and they don't keep 2445 02:09:53,320 --> 02:09:55,520 Speaker 3: scrolling down and see if they lost to Eastern Michigan. 2446 02:09:56,320 --> 02:09:59,760 Speaker 3: Oh it had to be at home. Yeah, it obviously 2447 02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:02,240 Speaker 3: art tonight and I think if if they win tonight, 2448 02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:06,160 Speaker 3: this discussion becomes a little bit louder going forward, but 2449 02:10:06,760 --> 02:10:08,640 Speaker 3: should be a good opportunity and hopefully it's a great 2450 02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:11,080 Speaker 3: environment tonight at a fifth third roe. 2451 02:10:10,960 --> 02:10:14,120 Speaker 25: I think it will be like it's aj debantsa likely 2452 02:10:14,200 --> 02:10:16,120 Speaker 25: to be the top overall pick in the draft. 2453 02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:17,960 Speaker 8: It's a winnable game. I was wrong. 2454 02:10:18,000 --> 02:10:21,080 Speaker 25: I thought they'd be slight dogs, their slight favorites, and 2455 02:10:22,040 --> 02:10:23,480 Speaker 25: they do have an at large chance. 2456 02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:24,760 Speaker 8: It's not a great one. 2457 02:10:25,320 --> 02:10:30,280 Speaker 25: And you know, if the Bearcats win the next four, okay, 2458 02:10:30,400 --> 02:10:32,560 Speaker 25: then what do all those teams in front. 2459 02:10:32,360 --> 02:10:32,760 Speaker 18: Of them do? 2460 02:10:32,960 --> 02:10:37,240 Speaker 25: A lot that happen, but like force force the committee's hand, 2461 02:10:37,400 --> 02:10:41,560 Speaker 25: like make it a conversation. I would feel great if 2462 02:10:41,600 --> 02:10:42,480 Speaker 25: they won the next five. 2463 02:10:43,000 --> 02:10:45,440 Speaker 3: Sure, if you win the next four, though, you, you 2464 02:10:45,520 --> 02:10:48,760 Speaker 3: make the argument how well they're playing going into the tournament. Yeah, 2465 02:10:49,240 --> 02:10:51,240 Speaker 3: I don't know how much that would bode for them, 2466 02:10:51,280 --> 02:10:53,080 Speaker 3: but I think that would be at least a conversation long. 2467 02:10:53,080 --> 02:10:54,440 Speaker 25: Time ago, when I was a kid, it was how 2468 02:10:54,480 --> 02:10:56,240 Speaker 25: are you doing in your last ten They don't really 2469 02:10:56,360 --> 02:10:59,600 Speaker 25: view that as they were part of the process. But 2470 02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:01,720 Speaker 25: I think the thing for me that I hang my 2471 02:11:01,840 --> 02:11:04,880 Speaker 25: hat on is they're playing well. I mean, five of 2472 02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:06,840 Speaker 25: the last six games, I think in four and a 2473 02:11:06,880 --> 02:11:09,760 Speaker 25: half of them, they've played like more than just an 2474 02:11:09,840 --> 02:11:12,800 Speaker 25: NCAA tournament team. The team that I've watched for the 2475 02:11:12,880 --> 02:11:14,640 Speaker 25: better part of the last three and a half weeks 2476 02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:17,760 Speaker 25: can win each of these next four games. And I 2477 02:11:17,840 --> 02:11:20,840 Speaker 25: say that not completely knowing who they would play in 2478 02:11:20,960 --> 02:11:24,160 Speaker 25: the first two in Kansas City, But to me from 2479 02:11:24,200 --> 02:11:27,960 Speaker 25: a basketball perspective, like you give them a shot against 2480 02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:30,160 Speaker 25: BYU because of how they are playing, and you give 2481 02:11:30,240 --> 02:11:32,760 Speaker 25: them a shot on the road against DCU because of 2482 02:11:32,880 --> 02:11:34,880 Speaker 25: how they're playing, and you give them a shot in 2483 02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:38,960 Speaker 25: Kansas City because of how they're playing. Now watch tonight, 2484 02:11:39,000 --> 02:11:41,000 Speaker 25: they'll go like two for twenty one from behind the arc. 2485 02:11:41,320 --> 02:11:43,960 Speaker 25: But they are they do look the part, and they 2486 02:11:44,040 --> 02:11:46,520 Speaker 25: are playing well enough to rattle off a bunch of wins. 2487 02:11:46,560 --> 02:11:49,880 Speaker 3: You mentioned a Bonsta obviously, No, Richie Sounders is a 2488 02:11:49,920 --> 02:11:52,360 Speaker 3: big deal you put on your coaching. How are you 2489 02:11:52,480 --> 02:11:54,960 Speaker 3: trying to limit him? Or like, I'm looking at their 2490 02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:59,080 Speaker 3: their recent games thirty thirty five, twenty nine, twenty nine, 2491 02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:01,400 Speaker 3: twenty four, like, but they've lost three of those like, 2492 02:12:01,560 --> 02:12:03,480 Speaker 3: so it's almost like, do you let him say, Hey, 2493 02:12:03,560 --> 02:12:05,520 Speaker 3: he's gonna get his but we're not gonna let anyone 2494 02:12:05,520 --> 02:12:08,440 Speaker 3: else be think So, he's so talented, he works off 2495 02:12:08,480 --> 02:12:10,080 Speaker 3: the ball, you're not gonna take him out of the game. 2496 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:12,680 Speaker 25: It was interesting, you know, the different types of players. 2497 02:12:12,760 --> 02:12:16,160 Speaker 25: But last week Christian Anderson, they they didn't change how 2498 02:12:16,200 --> 02:12:18,400 Speaker 25: they defended him. No, they did not, and they ran 2499 02:12:18,480 --> 02:12:21,800 Speaker 25: two guys at him and couldn't really figure out a 2500 02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:24,600 Speaker 25: way to stop anybody else or for that matter, Christian Anderson. 2501 02:12:24,680 --> 02:12:27,200 Speaker 25: So I wonder if there's something that could be applied 2502 02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:28,280 Speaker 25: from that game to tonight. 2503 02:12:28,720 --> 02:12:31,400 Speaker 3: I'm excited for it. I'm obstoked. Yes, before we get 2504 02:12:31,400 --> 02:12:33,480 Speaker 3: to that, I get to stoke The Mowagger Show shortened 2505 02:12:33,560 --> 02:12:35,600 Speaker 3: version because of Kentucky basketball.

All right, we'll see you 2507 02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:39,960 Speaker 3: down there for the early happy hour. I think they 2508 02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:43,400 Speaker 3: should bring Trey Hendrickson tonight to the game tonight. Just 2509 02:12:43,520 --> 02:12:46,600 Speaker 3: one final, just one final. Yeah, he's got to. 2510 02:12:46,600 --> 02:12:48,760 Speaker 8: Do one more silly thing. Leak. 2511 02:12:48,840 --> 02:12:52,440 Speaker 4: The text was Zach Taylor on his way out, show 2512 02:12:52,520 --> 02:12:55,160 Speaker 4: the screenshots that he talked about.
