Speaker 2: the talkbacks today in our number two. But it's not

12
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 2: just a normal start to the week here on ESPN

13
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. It is officially start of Opening Day week

14
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: on ESPN fifteen thirty, and that carries a little bit

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 2: more weight. If you're not familiar, you've never been to

16
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,959
Speaker 2: an opening day in the city of Cincinnati, you know

17
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: that Thursday, Well, it hits a little bit differently here locally,

18
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: and we will celebrate that every day this week leading

19
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 2: up to Thursday. There it is three days left until

20
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: the Reds and the Red Sox hit the field at

21
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: Great American Ballpark for Opening Day, so we obviously have

22
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: a lot to get to today, and we will talk

23
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: college basketball. The Sweet sixteen is set, we'll have the

24
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: mid Major conversation. We'll talk about Thursday and Friday's games

25
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 2: that are upcoming. We'll recap the first two rounds of

26
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: the NCAA Tournament as well. All throughout the afternoon today,

27
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: we'll welcome in your phone calls five, one, three, seven, four, nine, fifteen,

28
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: thirty and a slew of other topics with the Bengals

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 2: mock Draft Monday is here, and so much more. And

30
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: I will say, and I want this to be kind

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: of what drives us here in our number one Austin

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 2: on January sixth, What on January sixth? What year? This year? Okay,

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: the Reds were slated to win eighty three and a

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: half games. As I look right now at DraftKings, the

35
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: Reds are slated to win eighty and a half games.

36
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 2: Their number has gone down by three games, and understandably so.

37
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: The Hunter Green news came out after January, so we

38
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: now know that the ace of the Cincinnati Reds is

39
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 2: not going to pitch and probably till at least July.

40
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: But I feel like, and we've talked about this a

41
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: little before the show Austin, it feels like everywhere we look,

42
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: there are not many people out there predicting the Reds

43
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 2: to go over five hundred this year. I mean, I'm

44
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: not talking about win the NL Central Playoffs. We're talking

45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: about just get to the five hundred plateau. Yeah, I

46
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: want to know why today. And if you're listening and

47
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: you're on the other side of the fence and you

48
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 2: think everyone else is wrong and you see this team differently,

49
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: then let's start a Monday with some positivity. Let's give

50
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 2: reasons for optimism. Why the folks that cover Major League

51
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 2: Baseball are off, Why those that put out these lines

52
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas are often that the Reds are gonna

53
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,799
Speaker 2: win over eighty and a half games if they do,

54
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: we want to know why. We'll talk biggest questions remaining

55
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: between now and Thursday. We'll talk about the lineup, who's

56
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 2: going to be hitting cleanup. Also the news that happened

57
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: over the weekend. Nick Lodolo left in the first inning

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 2: of his final spring training start with a blister. We'll

59
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 2: wait and see any updates from that, But for Nick

60
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 2: Lodolo Austin, it's not just like this is a one

61
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: time thing. Nick Lodolo in August of twenty twenty five

62
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: went on the fifteen day injured list after he ripped

63
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: open a blister. In June of twenty twenty four, Nicklodola

64
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: went on the fifteen day injured list with a blister

65
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: on his left index finger. In twenty two twenty one,

66
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: when he was in Double A, he missed three weeks

67
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: due to a blister on the same finger. So what

68
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: we're getting at is this isn't just a one off

69
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 2: for Nicklodolo. This has been a problem dating back to

70
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: twenty twenty one until now it's now reared its head

71
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 2: in spring training. And with that, we'll talk about the

72
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: possible ramifications from not only Nicklodolo's blister, but Brady Singer's

73
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: blister that he left his start with as well. So

74
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 2: how do you describe the week now leading up to

75
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 2: opening day? Knowing it's not Hunter Green, knowing Nicklodolo just

76
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: left to start, Knowing Brady Singer left to start. Are

77
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: we approaching Thursday with caution at this point? Yeah?

78
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: I mean I've kind of been under the mindset that

79
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: I'm approaching the entire season with caution because I don't

80
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 3: want it to be like, okay, that the carrot is

81
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 3: being dangled in front of me again. The Reds went

82
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 3: to the playoffs last year, Surely they'll be right back

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 3: in at this year. And they've got the better offense,

84
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: and they've got the pitching and blah blah blah blah

85
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 3: blah blah blah. The Reds have a history of major

86
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 3: injuries derailing seasons. It's happened repeatedly, over and over and

87
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 3: over and over again. And is the Hunter Green injury

88
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,600
Speaker 3: enough to derail this season on its own.

89
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: Probably not.

90
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,680
Speaker 3: But if you misstarts, sir Nicolodolo, if the blister becomes

91
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 3: a thing that leaks into the summer, if there's something

92
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 3: that goes on with Brady Singer, You've still got some

93
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: unproven guys in Rehet Louder and Chase Burns. Brandon Williamson

94
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 3: is on an innings limit. All those guys are on

95
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 3: innings limits. You're starting pitching can get away from you know,

96
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 3: by the way, your opening day starter isn't hurt but

97
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 3: is not performing well at all through any of his

98
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 3: appearances in spring training, and so I'm worried that this

99
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: season is just going to get off to a slow start,

100
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: and I fear that they'll put themselves in a hole

101
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: that I don't know if they'll be able to dig

102
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: themselves out of. And I'm not trying to be negative,

103
00:05:56,440 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: because you just said, let's start with positivity. Positivity is offensively,

104
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 3: they look really good, and you feel very confident about

105
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 3: their ability to score runs and help that pitching staff.

106
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: But I've just seen this movie so many times that

107
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 3: I am very skeptical that's it, that the Reds are

108
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,480
Speaker 3: going to be able to stay healthy enough to you know,

109
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: be in it at the end.

110
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: That to me is kind of where this starts. The

111
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: skepticism of how many times have we been led down

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 2: this path and not only derailing things Austin. It's and

113
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: I'm not this isn't just the Reds. We've had this

114
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 2: with Bengal seasons as well, seasons that just never feel

115
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 2: like they get off the ground. Right here, they paid

116
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 2: and they brought in Johannio Suarez and Ellie is healthy

117
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: and Matt McClain I heard earlier with Tom Brennan, Marty

118
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: Brenneman said today that he doesn't recall ever seeing anyone

119
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 2: have a spring training like Matt McLain has had. Yeah,

120
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 2: that's quite the the praise for Matt McClain, but I

121
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: can't help every time I do this in the back

122
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: of my mind to say, don't get too excited, because

123
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 2: we've seen how this goes and it's already going that way.

124
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 2: When Hunter Green went down, we said, well, they have

125
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 2: depth in the rotation, but it it shrinks the margin

126
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 2: for air. Well, a blister would be a margin of

127
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: air for Brady Singer, for Nick Ladolo. I mean, it's

128
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: not like in his final work in the spring training

129
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 2: that Andrew Abbott was clean, right, So Andrew Abbott is

130
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 2: essentially getting through all of spring training. And I would

131
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: I would venture to say, if you've got to describe

132
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: Andrew Arabbit right now, what do you feel? Not good? Yeah? Ezy?

133
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 3: And you know, I know this is something we'll get

134
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 3: into a little bit later, is like, you know, how

135
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: do you balance the excitement you feel for Matt McClain

136
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: and the caution you feel or I don't want to

137
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 3: say dread. I don't think dread's the right word. But

138
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 3: the doubt you feel about Andrew Abbott. Yeah, because of

139
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: course smtt McLean's not going to bat five hundred and

140
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 3: fifty for a one hundred and sixty two game season.

141
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: But I also don't think Andrew Abbitt's gonna give up

142
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 3: four runs every time he takes the mound. Yeah, there's

143
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 3: a balance there that I think some Reds fans might

144
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: be struggling with. And maybe you're the type of fan

145
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 3: that's like, I don't care about anything that happens in

146
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 3: spring training. It's an entirely different process in the big leagues.

147
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: And I agree with you. I think there's something to that.

148
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 3: But all I can do is go based off of

149
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: what we've seen up into this point, and that just

150
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: makes me a little bit nervous.

151
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 2: And I don't know if we get into.

152
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 3: It a little bit later on the way the red

153
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 3: schedule works in the first month, that to me will

154
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 3: skew a little bit more positive. That makes me feel

155
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: a little bit better. But once May rolls around, you

156
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:47,440
Speaker 3: better be ready to go.

157
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: So so, see what you just did there, You've now

158
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 2: made it imperative that this team does what out of

159
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 2: the gate start fast. They don't do that, They don't

160
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 2: do that.

161
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: So if they can go what if they can go

162
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 3: three oh and two in March?

163
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 2: Okay, the great, but no like that. That to me

164
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 2: is the same. Like we've had this conversation. We'll be

165
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: at Smoke Justice on Thursday. Every Thursday of opening Day

166
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: when you and me and Moager get together, we put

167
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: an emphasis on what the first day of the season.

168
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,079
Speaker 2: This team has to start fast. And now when you're

169
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 2: looking ahead to May, Okay, well, if if the end

170
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: of March and April are manageable, you better not do

171
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 2: what coming out of the gate fall flat, because then

172
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: it feels like again season doesn't even get off. It's

173
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: it's legs that I think is the fear. What we're

174
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 2: looking for today is the optimism. We'll do a lot

175
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 2: on the reds here in our number one. The latest

176
00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 2: in the UC basketball coaching search will update obviously the

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 2: name Jared Calhoun. Why is that differently because Jared Calhoun

178
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: and his Utah State squad lost to Arizona last night.

179
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 3: I have a report, okay about the UC head coaching job. Okay,

180
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 3: are you ready for this please? I can confirm in

181
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 3: talking to multiple sources that the next head coach of

182
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:13,440
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bearcats will not be Wes Miller, because Wes

183
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: Miller has signed a five year deal today tone to

184
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 3: be the new head coach of the Charlotte forty nine ers.

185
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 2: How about that. And here's I think the weird part.

186
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 2: And I don't say weird part, but everything I said

187
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 2: about Wes, I hope West goes to Charlotte and crushes it.

188
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: I hope he has a great, great coaching career at Charlotte.

189
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: Speaking of Charlotte, if you are a diehard Bearcat fan,

190
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 2: you remember the name Diego Gevara, who at times crushed

191
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bearcats. I believe their coach at the time

192
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 2: was Bobby Lutz, you see, and Charlotte used to have

193
00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: some battles this.

194
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 4: Yeah.

195
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: With Wes going there, maybe you revive that that non

196
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:53,320
Speaker 2: conference game.

197
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to want to come

198
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 3: up here and that works something out? Would I think not?

199
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: Where you see he goes there, I think it would.

200
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: Be a good decision on his part to maybe wait

201
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: a couple of years. FC Cincinnati Austin, on the brink

202
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: of disaster, salvaged one over the weekend.

203
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,880
Speaker 3: They got up off the mat the lads. There's no

204
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 3: quit in those lads. I was ready to come onto

205
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 3: this show today and start talking about people's jobs moving forward.

206
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 2: But FC Cincinnati, to their.

207
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: Credit, and what was an unusually hot day, to the

208
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 3: point where they were taking hydration breaks at TQL Stadium

209
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,679
Speaker 3: because it was so hot. They were down a man

210
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 3: for the final thirty five minutes of the game. They

211
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:41,160
Speaker 3: actually played what was it forty two minutes total because

212
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 3: there was twelve minutes of stoppage time down a man,

213
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: and they were able to score two goals and knock

214
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 3: off Montreal at TQL Stadium. That was a huge win

215
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 3: for them. I just think just a huge win for

216
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: their mental must because they were I mean, they gave

217
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 3: up a goal in the first six minutes to Montreal,

218
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 3: and every time they would score, Entrereal would answer right back. Finally,

219
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:06,199
Speaker 3: Kevin Denk, with about six or seven minutes to go

220
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,599
Speaker 3: in stoppage time, delivered the nail in the coffin of

221
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 3: Montreal and gave f C Cincinnati a much needed win.

222
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: Shout out to FC Cincinnati. Speaking of coaching opportunities, there

223
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 2: is some college basketball news. Doug McDermott has stepped down

224
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: as the coach of Creighton. I believe you mean Greg McDermott,

225
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: doug his son who played for him and with the Bulls, Right, Yeah,

226
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 2: Dougie b buckets with the Bulls. McDermott is done.

227
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 3: They already had a success in place, Alan Haas, I

228
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 3: believe is that correct? I saw that Syracuse hired their

229
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 3: head coach. Jarry McNamara is coming back to Syracuse.

230
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: So it's big time and about the possibility of some

231
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 2: high level jobs North Carolina, a job to keep an

232
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: eye on and after they're lost to Saint John's yesterday,

233
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: which we'll get into when we talk college hoops. I

234
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 2: think there are questions out there about the future of

235
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 2: Bill self at Kansas.

236
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,760
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be you know, I'm being very

237
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,440
Speaker 3: honest here. How nervous does it make you feel as

238
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 3: a UC fan that there is potentially a Kansas and

239
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: a North Carolina potentially opening and the number one candidate

240
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: available is Jared Calhoun.

241
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,439
Speaker 2: Yeah? What it would tell me is, if I'm John Cunningham,

242
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 2: I have to get that deal done today, name your price, right,

243
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 2: Like that's essentially what it is. Yeah, Because those jobs

244
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: officially open, it's going to be a different conversation. Get

245
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 2: the deal done now. Hopefully the deal was being talked

246
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: about last night. Hopefully the deal is being signed today,

247
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: because I don't think you want to afford the idea

248
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 2: of waiting and then disaster happening like that.

249
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 3: Did that cat from Saint Louis over officially announce his extension?

250
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Josh Shurtz is that his name?

251
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't think so.

252
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 3: By the way, our Tony Pike Sincy three to sixty

253
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 3: bracket Challenge right, an update for you. Through the first

254
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 3: couple of rounds of the tournament, leading us all, there's

255
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: a two way tie for first place between Scott Drago

256
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 3: I hope I'm saying that correctly and Daniel Chase. Scott

257
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,960
Speaker 3: Drago's name is best Dude Drago and Chase's name is

258
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 3: first bracket vibes both of those guys ninety nine point

259
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 3: nine percent accuracy to the first couple of rounds of

260
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 3: the tournament. Daniel has Arizona winning, while Scott has Duke winning.

261
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: You may have noticed that the otman is ranked seventy

262
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 3: third in our bracket challenge and his national champion was

263
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 3: disposed of this weekend. Florida has been eliminated from going

264
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: back to back. Shout out to Maso. He's tied for sixteenth. Wow,

265
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: he's putting together a good, good run. But you know,

266
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 3: I saw I was a little disappointed in some of

267
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 3: the names I saw towards the bottom of the list.

268
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if you've looked at this at all.

269
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 3: Come in in four hundred and eleventh place, Charlie Goldsmith.

270
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?

271
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: Sixteen point four percent Charlie for Charlie Goldsmith. Charlie but

272
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 3: not far ahead of him is in three hundred and

273
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 3: eighty third place Keegan Nickoson. Oh my god, Kegan with

274
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 3: just twenty five point nine percent accuracy, and shout out

275
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 3: to our guy here. I have to assume this is

276
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: a bit our guy talkback mic multi personality Mic, He's DFL.

277
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: He's dead last. Not easy to do with nine point

278
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:42,000
Speaker 3: eight percent. Had to be going for that nine point

279
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 3: eight percent, and his national champion Arizona is still a cup. Also,

280
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if you noticed this or not, but

281
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 3: in our our work bracket challenge, there was one of

282
00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 3: our coworkers who picked every single fifteen seed to win. Okay,

283
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: that's questionable. He picked every single that's question. He's actually

284
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 3: worse than Mike's. His percentage is eight point six percent.

285
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, so at least you're not him Mike, I guess. Yikes.

286
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot to take in from the college basketball weekend.

287
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 2: Who's fun. We will h We'll dive into everything. The

288
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: tournament was fun too. Yeah, we'll dive into everything college

289
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 2: hoops related. Didn't follow a long a ton in the

290
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 2: build up to this flag football event, but in watching

291
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: some of the highlights, I I'm good to not see

292
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow back on the flag football field on many one,

293
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: a lot of stopping and starting. He got tackled at

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 2: one point he had to put his feet down and

295
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 2: cut and kind of lost his balance. I I want

296
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 2: guys to have fun. I don't need to see Joe

297
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: Burrow doing that. And then I'm watching Logan Paul who's

298
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: on the field hitting Jalen hurts arm as he's throwing

299
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: the ball forward, which could result in major, major injury

300
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: for a quarterback. The premise is fun. I'm good seeing

301
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow do any more of that.

302
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 3: What makes me, I think the most nervous is when

303
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 3: you're out there on the field with guys who are

304
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 3: not NFL players, correct like a Paul or even like

305
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 3: Team USA who they were going up against, and those

306
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: dudes have something to prove and are going as hard

307
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 3: as they possibly can, Whereas and you would know this

308
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 3: like an NFL practice or an NFL joint practice or

309
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 3: scrimmage or anything like, there is a certain pace and

310
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 3: understanding of that to keep everybody clean. I think that's

311
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 3: hard to replicate in a flag football exhibition where I'm

312
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 3: sure those dudes are being paid a lot of money.

313
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure. I mean, because like you said, those guys

314
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:54,959
Speaker 2: have heard like, oh, we got to get NFL players,

315
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 2: like no, we want to go to the Olympics, right,

316
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: And that, I guess is the team that would probably

317
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 2: the Olympics started to day would probably be representing US.

318
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 4: And those dudes were legit, like I'm.

319
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 2: Good with they whooped, I'm good with letting them HANDLEFL guys,

320
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: but yeah, man, it was uh, it's their show. It was.

321
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: I watched most of the first game and then I

322
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:18,359
Speaker 3: was like, Okay, I'm not that interested in this and

323
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: I went and did other stuff, watch other stuff. But

324
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 3: after watching the highlights, I'm glad I wasn't watching a

325
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 3: lot of that borrow stuff live agree because I would

326
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 3: have been agreed, probably saying and doing things I regret.

327
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: Mock Draft Monday will happen this afternoon. Jackson Smith and

328
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Jigba the highest paid wide receiver now in NFL history

329
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 2: four years, one hundred and sixty eight point six million

330
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 2: dollars with the Seattle Seahawks.

331
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:43,959
Speaker 5: Uh.

332
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: Tyler Reddick. Austin won another NASCAR race over the weekend,

333
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 2: just another Sunday Death Taxes Michael Jordan and Tyler Reddick

334
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 2: sharing high fives and victory Lane on Sundays. You see

335
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: baseball now receiving Austin Oats in the top twenty five.

336
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 2: I saw them in one publication. Actually came in at

337
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 2: number twenty five in the country. So shout out to

338
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: UC baseball continuing to rise up the record boards. They

339
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,159
Speaker 2: are having an excellent, excellent start to their season. They

340
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 2: just took two out of three from Utah over the weekend.

341
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 2: They are nineteen and seven overall and our guy, Quintin Coats.

342
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 2: Austin hit three more home runs this weekend. He's up

343
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:34,639
Speaker 2: to eighteen on the year. He is leading all of

344
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,359
Speaker 2: college baseball and home runs. He resides right here in Cincinnati,

345
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 2: and he's flying planes. I saw and he's flying planes. Also,

346
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,479
Speaker 2: there's a lot of ty Simpson buzz going around.

347
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,160
Speaker 4: That's good.

348
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 2: It is good the Bengals. I want that. Dan Orlofsky

349
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,120
Speaker 2: said earlier on Get Up that he thinks ty Simpson

350
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: is the best quarterback in the class, and then Mike

351
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 2: Tannenbaum said in talking to clubs this opinion is shared

352
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 2: by other teams as well. So maybe maybe ty Simpson

353
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 2: helps out the Bengals and goes maybe in that top

354
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 2: six or seven range, and one of these players can

355
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,159
Speaker 2: then in turn drop to the Cincinnati Bengals. We have

356
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 2: so much more that we need to get to for

357
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: right now, our first break, and let's start with the

358
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 2: week that it is opening day. Let's talk a little

359
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: bit about the excitement of Matt McLean, a little bit

360
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 2: about the caution around Andrew Abbott and these starting lineups.

361
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 2: We'll get the phone calls as well. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,

362
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. We're just getting started Sincy three sixty on

363
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 2: the Home of the Bengals, ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

364
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 4: No pressure on entry.

365
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 2: They gained the inbounder.

366
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 3: It's Condon the league driving to the cup, underneath paying Away.

367
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 6: Taking a shot, an isle of wins.

368
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: A sun Side State stunner, isle of.

369
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 6: Bunsas Florida in Tampa, seventy three, seventy two, the rating

370
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: champion Dators are done, The one is done in the South,

371
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 6: and the nine is on to Sweet sixteen.

372
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: Now that voice on the call of Iowa knocking off Florida,

373
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 2: and we'll get to college basketball to start hour two,

374
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 2: a familiar voice, John Sadak on the con Sadak on

375
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 2: the call.

376
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 3: For Westwood Ones coverage of the NCAA Tournament, and John

377
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 3: emptied the clip on that one.

378
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: Defending champs are bound, Sunshine State stunner, Gator's gone love

379
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 2: it one is done, well done, well done.

380
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 3: John didn't have a lot of baseball broadcasts this spring,

381
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: so he's got to get loose.

382
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 2: You're ready for the Big Ones six on Thursday one

383
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 2: sixty two. It's the length of the Major League baseball

384
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:56,959
Speaker 2: regular season, which means Austin that the Reds projected total

385
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: eighty and a half. That means that there are more

386
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 2: people right now betting on them to go under five

387
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: hundred than even get to the five hundred plateau one

388
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 2: sixty two. That means if they win eighty one, they're

389
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 2: five hundred. His team went to the playoffs last year,

390
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: not even projected right now to win fifty percent of

391
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 2: their games. Now, let's start with the differentiating springs of

392
00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: Andrew Abbot and Matt McLain. Andrew Abbot, his spring is

393
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: done often. Seventeen and two thirds, twenty eight hits, twenty

394
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 2: five runs, twenty three of them earned. He gave up

395
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: six home runs while walking eight batters. That's not ideal

396
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: from the man that'll take the mound on Thursday, an

397
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: opening day against the Boston Red Sox. Now could he

398
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 2: go out there Thursday and throw a gem, Absolutely, we've

399
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: seen that from Andrew Abbot. But we're also in a

400
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: business where your production is going to be evaluated, and

401
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: whether or not you put any stake into spring training

402
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 2: at all. Seventeen and two thirds innings and twenty three

403
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: earned runs with twenty eight hits is not I think

404
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: reason for much optimism. And again, come out on Thursday

405
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: and things feel completely different, and then this conversation was

406
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 2: for nothing. But on the other end of the thing,

407
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 2: if you're one to say well, spring training doesn't matter,

408
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: then we can't sit here and talk about how good

409
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: Matt McLain has been for this team in spring training.

410
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 2: Matt McClain, over fifty one played appearances, is hitting five

411
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: twenty nine. He belted seven home runs this spring for

412
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds, eleven more hits than number two on

413
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 2: this list, which I think Austin is just as impressive.

414
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 2: Rees Hines and just thirty nine at bats, had sixteen hits.

415
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 2: He had himself a great spring as well well, but

416
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 2: the South Stewart fifteen hits came in third, by the way,

417
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: over forty five at bats. But it's it's hard because

418
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,159
Speaker 2: on one hand, I want to get excited about Matt McClain,

419
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 2: But if I get excited about Matt McClain, that would

420
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 2: mean I'm evaluating spring training at bats, which I'm told

421
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 2: not to do when it relates to Andrew Abbott.

422
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, and there's these these different ways to look at

423
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 3: the spring training at bats. It's like, well, do you

424
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 3: throw the first two weeks out the window because pitchers

425
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: are still working on stuff, and pitchers are ahead of hitters,

426
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: and you just don't are behind hitters. You just don't

427
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: know exactly what to put all the stock into. And

428
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 3: also like, over the course of time, we've seen where

429
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: a guy will have a monster spring and just have

430
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 3: an average regular season, or we've seen where a guy

431
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,160
Speaker 3: has not performed very well in the spring and has

432
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 3: been a monster during the regular season. Like, there's no

433
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 3: exact science to it, there's no way to pinpoint, Okay,

434
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: this is indicative of that when it comes to spring

435
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 3: training in the regular season. I do like though, that

436
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 3: we went into spring training thinking, Okay, who's going to

437
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 3: be the number two hitter. Matt McClain was given the

438
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,919
Speaker 3: first crack at it, and he did not relinquish it

439
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,479
Speaker 3: at all. From day one. He dominated. He took control

440
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: of that. And from everybody who's been there and talked

441
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 3: to Matt McClain and been able to watch him in person,

442
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 3: they say there are tangible things about his swing that

443
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 3: you can look at and say, Okay, this is better

444
00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 3: than it was a year ago. He's approaching this pitch better,

445
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 3: he's getting his foot down at the right spot, he's

446
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 3: getting the extension that he needed to get. His hands

447
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 3: are in the right spot, and that's going to equal

448
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: more of the Matt McClain that we saw a couple

449
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 3: of years ago. I don't know that there's really a

450
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 3: theme for what Andrew Abbott has done. And that's the

451
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: part that's frustrating, is like, Okay, well he's not hurt

452
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,399
Speaker 3: and it's not like he's not locating his fastball. I

453
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 3: think his fastball has been pretty good. But it's the

454
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: other pitches. Is he not able to get hitters out

455
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: with his secondary pitches? And then also what exactly is

456
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 3: he working on? Like yesterday he threw or two days

457
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: ago he threw a three to two change up that

458
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 3: got rocked, and I was listening to the radio broadcast

459
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,959
Speaker 3: and they're like, I don't think that's a pitch that

460
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 3: Andrew Arabbit's gonna throw in the regular season. Why would

461
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 3: he throw a change up in a three to two

462
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 3: count considering the circumstances, blah blah blah. So it's really

463
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 3: difficult to, I think, evaluate pitchers as opposed to hitters

464
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 3: in spring training. I feel like the technique in the

465
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 3: physical part of what Matt McClain has done to his

466
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 3: swing is more indicative of a successful regular season than

467
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 3: what we can look at with Andrew Abbot. And that's

468
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: that's hard because, like I said, there's no exact science

469
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 3: to it at all.

470
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: It is it's unique in the sense that you know,

471
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: you want to evaluate as much as possible, and it

472
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 2: is a analytic driven time in sports, So you want

473
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,959
Speaker 2: to dive into the good. But when you do that,

474
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 2: you also have to dive in to the bad or

475
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 2: the uncomfortable as well. Another thing that I thought was

476
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 2: interesting since his return to red spring training, I think

477
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people Austin just assumed when e Henio

478
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 2: Suarez was brought to the Cincinnati Reds that he was

479
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: going to slot in right behind Elie de la Cruz

480
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 2: in the lineup. And we pretty much know at this

481
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: point what one two three looks like. TJ. Friedo, Matt McClain,

482
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 2: Elie de la Cruz, that's going to be your one

483
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 2: two three. But the interesting part now about what the Reds,

484
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 2: or at least Terry Francona, is doing, is since Suarez

485
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: has been back, he's tinkered a little bit with the

486
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 2: lineup and he's got South Stewart hitting cleanup behind Elie

487
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: de la Cruz and Suarez then hitting in the five hole. Now,

488
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 2: Charlie Goldsmith dug into this a little bit more and

489
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 2: just how rare this has been and Terry Francona's entire

490
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: career as a manager. Hitters who are twenty two years

491
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: old are younger to hit cleanup in a season. Scott

492
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 2: Rowland did it eighty times in nineteen ninety seven, Lars

493
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: Anderson did it once in a Red Sox game in

494
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,640
Speaker 2: twenty ten, and South Stuart three times last year. That's

495
00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 2: the whole list. Is this more about what it says

496
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 2: about what Terry Francona thinks about South Stuart, that opportunity

497
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 2: is even being talked about with a player as young

498
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,719
Speaker 2: as South Stewart being thrown into a clean up role

499
00:28:31,760 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 2: as early as opening day.

500
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: I think it also says a lot about Ellie de

501
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: la Cruz, because the whole idea was au Hanio Suarez

502
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 3: is going to protect Ellie de la Cruz well, with

503
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 3: South Stuart behind him, maybe a pitcher is more apt

504
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 3: to pitch around Ellie to get to South Stuart. That

505
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: creates its own can of worms because you're putting Ellie

506
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 3: on the bases. Good luck with that if you're a pitcher.

507
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 3: But also I think it says that the Reds are

508
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: comfortable with Ellie's ability to understand how he's being pitched.

509
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 3: And I think that was a big step forward for

510
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 3: him last year, was not swinging at pitches he can

511
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 3: do nothing with and not getting himself into trouble and

512
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 3: getting himself into outs. I think it says a lot

513
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 3: about their trust in Ellie's ability to perceive the strike

514
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 3: zone and his discipline at the plate, and also, to

515
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: your point, says a lot about what South Stuart has done.

516
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 3: Francona says all the time he forgets he's a rookie,

517
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: which is a great quality to have for a big

518
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 3: leaguer because you know, you have this confidence in this

519
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,760
Speaker 3: belief and this ability that like, yeah, I'm supposed to

520
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: be here, this is what I'm supposed to be doing.

521
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 3: And you thrive in those type of roles when you

522
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 3: have that type of confidence. So yeah, I think it's

523
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: it makes a lot of sense. And oh, by the way,

524
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 3: you add that protection now to South Stewart because of

525
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 3: Auhaniosuarez behind him.

526
00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 2: Terry Francona's quote about the lineup, he said, I kind

527
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: of reserve the right to make a lineup out that day.

528
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 2: The reason we've been doing it, and that's Gino in

529
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,719
Speaker 2: the five hole is I think it sets Gino up

530
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 2: to drive in more runs because I think with Ellie

531
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 2: hitting third. He also said this, and we talked a

532
00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 2: lot about this Ellie and Gino, that's a lot of strikeouts. Yep.

533
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 2: Terry Francona said, with doing that, we can separate some strikeouts,

534
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 2: but we also have a guy that can trail Ellie,

535
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 2: and I think Gino can clean up some of that mess,

536
00:30:25,720 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: which is the idea, and that is a chance to

537
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 2: be more productive. So I don't think, like, first of all,

538
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: I don't think this is an indictment of Eu Honeyosuarez, right, No,

539
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: this is not. This is Ellie and this is South Stewart.

540
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:44,680
Speaker 2: So I think this is something to watch as it

541
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 2: relates to Opening Day getting a little bit closer. Here

542
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 2: for the Cincinnati read speaking of opening Day getting closer,

543
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: they're doing the scrimmage today and tomorrow Milwaukee. That's right. Also,

544
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: Terry Francona, thanks to Charlie Goldsmith, shed a little light

545
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,480
Speaker 2: on that. He said, quote, we don't ever hit in

546
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 2: the stadium in spring. Hit on the backfields. Even the

547
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,520
Speaker 2: stadiums are big, but most teams take VP in the

548
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 2: stadium we want to get into that. You want to

549
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 2: make sure you play Milwaukee is a guarantee because they

550
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,360
Speaker 2: have a roof, so it doesn't mess up your pitching schedule.

551
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: That's the idea, so more the idea of hitting in

552
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 2: a Major League Baseball park and not running the risk

553
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 2: of going there and then it getting rained out. So

554
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 2: a little bit more clarification on why this team is

555
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: going to spend the next two days in Milwaukee ahead

556
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 2: of Thursday's opening.

557
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 3: If you remember, they've done those like showcase games where

558
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 3: they'll go to Dayton or they'll go to Louisville and

559
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 3: they'll play the prospects. Yeah, and the last couple of

560
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: times the weather has just been a troch. Yes, And

561
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 3: I think it means a lot to go up there,

562
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 3: and especially a place that you have not performed well at,

563
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 3: you guarantee to get the games in. You can have

564
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 3: complete control basically over the way you want to do it.

565
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: In conjunction with Pat Murphy or the Brewers, I think

566
00:31:57,560 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 3: it just makes a lot of sense. I think your

567
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 3: team gets more out of it than they would, you know,

568
00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 3: maybe dealing with the weather and the nonsense in an

569
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 3: outdoor game in Dayton or Louisville or even here in Cincinnati.

570
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 2: I just think that makes a lot of sense. I

571
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 2: think that's a good move. Let's take a break. Let's

572
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,800
Speaker 2: talk about in particular, the first month of this Red

573
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:19,480
Speaker 2: season that's upcoming, along with any reasons for hope that

574
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 2: you may have. We we pretty much understand what the

575
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 2: lineups for hope, reasons for hope. We know what the

576
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: lineup essentially is going to be at this point, with

577
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of tinkering, I.

578
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 3: Think the lineup is going to surprise some people on

579
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 3: opening Day. Yeah, Okay, we'll talk more about that. We'll

580
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:35,800
Speaker 3: get to some phone calls after that. Here at the

581
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,640
Speaker 3: endpur number one five, one, three, seven nine, fifteen thirty,

582

Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station, Tony.

588
00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 3: We've got some breaking news from Baton Rouge. Okay, LSU

589
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:22,960
Speaker 3: Pro Day today, Okay, future Bengal cornerback mansor Delayne just

590
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: ran a four point three eight forty yard dash, just

591
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 3: picking them up and laying them down. Well, that'll do

592
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 3: man sore, that'll do four three forty man. I have

593
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: not seen if the Bengals are there. I am assuming

594
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: that they are. I know that is a big assumption

595
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 3: knowing this franchise. But LSU Pro Day is today. There's

596
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 3: a couple of my know, Michigan was over the weekend.

597
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 3: I think there's Georgia may have happened in Ohio. States

598
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 3: is coming up tomorrow, I believe so a lot we'll

599
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 3: get from those.

600
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 2: We will continue to pack pro days the first month

601
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: of the red season. Why is the first month and

602
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,839
Speaker 2: the start of the season always is when we talk

603
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: about the Cincinnati Reds. Why does this year start so

604
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 2: much different in your opinion, I don't know that it's so.

605
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 3: Much different, but it makes me feel a little bit

606
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 3: better if they're not at full strength going into the start.

607
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,920
Speaker 3: And the reason for that is over the first month,

608
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 3: so from when they play Thursday until the end of April,

609
00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:31,720
Speaker 3: they have five off days.

610
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:33,720
Speaker 2: Okay, so that's.

611
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,360
Speaker 3: Five days that you're able and that's part of the

612
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 3: reason also why they're doing this six man rotation. We'll

613
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 3: see if that changes, if Lodolo has to go on

614
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 3: the IL or not. But five off days, you play

615
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: a lot of home games, and you play teams that

616
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 3: you're supposed to be better than. Now, Boston's pretty good,

617
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 3: but we talked about last week. Ranger Suarez is not

618
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,680
Speaker 3: going to pitch in Cincinnati. He's going to be moved

619
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:00,799
Speaker 3: to the back of their rotation. Is he dealing with something?

620
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 3: So you're not gonna face their biggest free agent acquisition.

621
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 3: You are gonna face Garrett Crochet, but you've had success

622
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:08,640
Speaker 3: against Garrett Crochet and he also was not very good

623
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 3: in spring training. You've got Pittsburgh. You are probably gonna

624
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:17,319
Speaker 3: face Paul Skeian's one of those not great. But the

625
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 3: Texas Rangers, the Miami Marlins, the Los Angeles Angels, those

626
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 3: are teams that the Reds are top to bottom better

627
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 3: than not even close. You also play the Minnesota Twins

628
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 3: who are openly tanking. The Tampa Bay Rays, who have

629
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 3: had some injuries. By the way, Gavin Lux hurt. He's

630
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 3: not starting. He's gonna start the season on the io

631
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 3: with shoulder impendum. Sure, you finished the season the month

632
00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 3: with three against the Colorado Rockies at home. Abismo, horrible

633
00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,720
Speaker 3: team that's not trying to win. Your most difficult games

634
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 3: are three against the Giants, but those are in Cincinnati,

635
00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,319
Speaker 3: and three against the Tigers, and those are in Cincinnati.

636
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:59,280
Speaker 3: So for that reason, I feel a little bit better

637
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 3: about out. Okay, maybe they're not at full strength, but

638
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 3: it's not like they're going through everybody in the National

639
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 3: League Central. They don't have the Dodgers, they don't have

640
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: the Phillies, they don't have the Mets in any of

641
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 3: that stretch, the teams that you're expecting to be at

642
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 3: the very top of the National League and you only

643
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,400
Speaker 3: play three n L Central games in that entire stretch.

644
00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that makes me feel a little bit better.

645
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 2: It's it to me. That's that's it, the race to May,

646
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: because then May comes and you're on the road to

647
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 2: start the first seven days in May in the Division

648
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 2: at Pittsburgh. In Chicago, the Houston Astros come into town

649
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:40,279
Speaker 2: a good team, the Nationals are an improved team. You

650
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 2: go to Cleveland, that's a team expected to compete. The

651
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,879
Speaker 2: Phillies are expected to compete. That's on the road in May.

652
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: Still you got to go play three at the Mets.

653
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 2: Then comes the Atlanta Braves and then the Kansas City Royals.

654
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 2: You got to go to San Diego and as it's

655
00:36:55,200 --> 00:37:00,400
Speaker 2: a lot, May and June is a lot YEP, this team,

656
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,359
Speaker 2: with the way the pitching staff is in question right

657
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: now or in a little bit of limbo right now,

658
00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 2: it is imperative that this team start the season fast.

659
00:37:10,520 --> 00:37:13,439
Speaker 2: I mean you could make the case Austin that at

660
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 2: home and you are missing Ranger Suarez, go out and

661
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 2: win the first series. Beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in a series. Now, Texas,

662
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 2: I get it. Miami win a series, Angels win a serree,

663
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,960
Speaker 2: they shouldn't be dogs in all, but probably through or

664
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 2: three of those series through April. What can you do

665
00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 2: with that? And this I think was an issue that

666
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,560
Speaker 2: this team's had for years. They've not beaten the bad

667
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:44,840
Speaker 2: teams as well as they should. They've got to do

668
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:49,759
Speaker 2: better at beatings of teams that they should beat, because

669
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot of teams in April or in May

670
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 2: and June that on paper you're probably not supposed to beat.

671
00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 2: They have got to get off to a fast start.

672
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 2: We talk about it every year. It feels just as

673
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: if not more imperative this year for this version of

674
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:07,760
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Reds, especially with the questions at the pitching staff.

675
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: It's also kind of crazy they don't play Milwaukee until

676
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 3: June twenty second. It's kind of hard to believe. And

677
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 3: then they play them twice over the course of three series.

678
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 3: But I mean, they're playing these two games up there

679
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 3: in this exhibition style and then they don't see them

680
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: until the end of June.

681
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, very very interesting. As the schedule will get underway,

682
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,319
Speaker 2: we'll finish up our number one with some of your

683
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: phone calls. Next we'll talk college hoops to kick off

684
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 2: the second hour. I'm sorry, sorry, give me your reason

685
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: for optimism in your tall tacks today. Are still upset

686
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 2: about the Bearcats? A little upset.

687
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,279
Speaker 3: I haven't heard any news yet, so I'm getting a

688
00:38:41,280 --> 00:38:43,200
Speaker 3: little choked up. Head over to the water fountain during

689
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: the break.

690
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,919
Speaker 2: Give us your reason for optimism with your talkbacks today

691
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 2: around this version of the Cincinnati Reds. And we've got

692
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 2: a lot of NFL and football to get to in

693
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 2: our number three, including mock draft Monday. Your phone calls

694
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,480
Speaker 2: finish up the hour next on sinty three to sixty

695
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:57,240
Speaker 2: Thanks to Skyline, Chile on the home of the Bengals,

696
00:38:57,440 --> 00:38:59,399

Speaker 2: three to six. You we're going to break down the

701
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament here in just a few minutes. We've been

702
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 2: mostly reds in Major League Baseball. To start, let's grab

703
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,120
Speaker 2: a couple of phone calls before we wrap the hour.

704
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 2: John is starting this office up, John, Tony Austin, Happy Monday.

705
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 7: How are you, fellows?

706
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 2: Copy Monday? Happy Monday, Tony, you nailed it.

707
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:38,760
Speaker 8: I do not need to see Joe Burrow play flag football.

708
00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:39,479
Speaker 9: I'm done again.

709
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:41,919
Speaker 10: Nope, yeah, yeah.

710
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 8: Just take the alohead band, hide it from him so

711
00:39:44,520 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 8: he doesn't get to wear it on the field, Hide

712
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 8: the cleats, hide whatever. We don't need about the I

713
00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 8: know whose idea was to throw a pass pattern to them.

714
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,160
Speaker 8: That was really completely idiotic. I mean, these guys are competitive, right, Tony.

715
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 8: You know that better than anymore. He's going up to

716
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 8: catch the ball, it's his instinct, and he comes down

717
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 8: and you crush your fingers that he's not hurt and

718
00:40:02,480 --> 00:40:05,200
Speaker 8: I think someone took a run at his knees as well. Yeah,

719
00:40:05,360 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 8: edition of Jalen's hurt's arm And what's the logan Paul's

720
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 8: doing out there? Like it was like bizarre?

721
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 2: It is. It's one thing if you're thinking of just

722
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 2: like all right, seven on seven, quarterback drops back and

723
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 2: throws the ball. It's not that you know you're getting

724
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: free rushers. There are two quarterbacks often on the field

725
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 2: at once. They're throwing the ball to each other. You

726
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 2: have quarterbacks cutting and making moves after catching the ball,

727
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 2: which just isn't safe because that's not a move you

728
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 2: do often as a quarterback. Like when Joe Burrow's training,

729
00:40:34,080 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: he's training dropping back and moving in the pocket. He's

730
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 2: not training running full speed down the field, putting his

731
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 2: foot in the ground and cutting. Especially in the month

732
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: of March, I just thought it was way different than

733
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,759
Speaker 2: what I expected it to be and definitely definitely a

734
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: little bit too much that I think a lot of

735
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: Bengals fans would have liked to see.

736
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 8: Well, that leads me to bashing Tom Brady because now

737
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 8: the biggest rivalry in football.

738
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 11: Tom Brady versus Joe Burrow.

739
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 8: So that's interesting, right, because uh yeah, I'm gonna I'm

740
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 8: gonna take over Skip Baylis stole my take when he

741
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 8: said that Brady's jealous of Borrow. At this point, it's

742
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 8: almost like the senior hot girl in high school. All

743
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 8: of a sudden, the hawt girl comes in. It's a

744
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,760
Speaker 8: sophomore that guys are even more into and fall over.

745
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:17,160
Speaker 11: And he gets she gets jealous.

746
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 8: I mean I almost get a feeling that he is

747
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 8: jealous of him, says the part of being that is

748
00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:22,680
Speaker 8: and I'm.

749
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 4: Bit serious about this.

750
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,719
Speaker 8: Brady's had to really work hard to cultivate this coolness

751
00:41:26,719 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 8: that people that he has, Like you know, the hair

752
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:32,920
Speaker 8: transplant and the face lifts and the botox and everything

753
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:35,280
Speaker 8: he's done is scripted with with Burrows just seems natural.

754
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 8: Like he may show off with purple hair one day

755
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 8: and it's kind of cool. And I just find it

756
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 8: funny that Brady who has become less likable in the

757
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 8: retirement because now he's an owner with the Raiders, he's

758
00:41:46,200 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 8: the de facto GM with the Raiders, He's the lead

759
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:52,279
Speaker 8: analyst on Fox. Now he's mentoring Jalen Hurts, like, if

760
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 8: I'm part owner.

761
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,759
Speaker 2: Of the Raiders, I'm like, what are you doing him for?

762
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 4: He plays for the Eagles.

763
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 8: Yeah, we're gonna draft Mendoza. It's just it's just kind

764
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 8: of weird. He's the up himself into a weird guy,

765
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 8: whereas Alex Rodriguez in retirement seems.

766
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:04,400
Speaker 2: To become more likable.

767
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 8: Yeah you know, yeah, he's part owner of the Timberwolves.

768
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 8: We don't see in the model designing plays like Brady

769
00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:11,359
Speaker 8: was doing up in the booth on a Monday night game.

770
00:42:11,440 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 8: So Brady has become just like a kind of childlike,

771
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 8: I mean, lets someone else play flag football, even for

772
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 8: the NFL guys.

773
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 11: Let's let's the other guys play.

774
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 4: Keep the quarterbacks out of it.

775
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,240
Speaker 8: We don't lose a bottle of stupid play like Edwards

776
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:25,279
Speaker 8: in his career with twenty someone years ago.

777
00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: Correct, deal, appreciate you John.

778
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 7: Guys, we'll talk to you on Wednesday to preview Red

779
00:42:29,960 --> 00:42:30,600
Speaker 7: Sox Red.

780
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,400
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, yes, sir, have a great one. All right, brothers, Okay,

781
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,960
Speaker 2: thank you John. One more here before the top of

782
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: the hour. What's up, Mike, Hey?

783
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:40,960
Speaker 11: Those what a fun weekend of.

784
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,399
Speaker 2: Who yes, yes, so good.

785
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 11: A lot of fun, A lot of fun. I Tartar

786
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 11: Lootski convinced me this morning on ESPN that Ty Simpson's

787
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 11: a better quarterback than Fernando Mendoza. Totally convinced me.

788
00:42:56,760 --> 00:43:01,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a lot of people pushing direction, and every

789
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 2: year we get a lot of the buzz leading up

790
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 2: to the draft, and I understand, but from I listened

791
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:09,880
Speaker 2: to it today as well, and I was impressed with

792
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 2: Ordorolofki said, and then to double down and see Tanebaum say, well,

793
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:15,960
Speaker 2: that's just not something that he thinks. That's that's something

794
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,160
Speaker 2: that a lot of other gms across the NFL buy

795
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 2: into as well. So as we in closer to the draft,

796
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: I think that can become a little bit of a

797
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 2: talking point and it is one that benefits the Bengals

798
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 2: if another team tries to get into the top ten

799
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: to get Ty Simpson.

800
00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,920
Speaker 11: Absolutely, that's how I was thinking. One brother, Okay college,

801
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:36,719
Speaker 11: So I know you're going to get into it next hour,

802
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,319
Speaker 11: but I won't feel over to be on, although I

803
00:43:38,400 --> 00:43:44,400
Speaker 11: will be listening. You can bet on that. I still

804
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 11: think the greatest college basketball call by an announcer I've

805
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 11: ever heard was mister Marty Brenham calling the Christian Latner

806
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 11: around seventeen footer not to win the championship. A lot

807
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:59,840
Speaker 11: of people think it was to win the championship. For

808
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 11: it was just to advance to the final four. I

809
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 11: think yeah. But that called by Marty. Marty is a

810
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 11: great basketball announcer. I mean, you know, he was an

811
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 11: announcer for the Virginia Schoires in the Ada before he

812
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,160
Speaker 11: came to the Reds, so he was he was so

813
00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:22,319
Speaker 11: good at it. The Florida game and Iowa, you tell

814
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 11: me how in the hell you let them get three

815
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:30,160
Speaker 11: on two. I would get three on two and a

816
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:30,840
Speaker 11: wide open.

817
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 7: That was bad.

818
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: We'll discuss it too in the next hour. But but

819
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: Golden at Florida, the coach, his rationale made no sense

820
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,440
Speaker 2: because they were up to and he said we were

821
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 2: He said, we wanted to foul, and I'm like, why

822
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: would you want to foul? He said, we wanted to

823
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,719
Speaker 2: foul and that way put pressure on them to make

824
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 2: the free throws. We would get the last shot and

825
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,200
Speaker 2: then overtime. And I've never heard a coach with the

826
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 2: two point lead say, well, we we want to foul them.

827
00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:57,640
Speaker 2: That just made no sense to me.

828
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 11: Well, I was of disappointed in him, I agree, but

829
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:06,320
Speaker 11: that sounds that sounds I mean, even you're saying it

830
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,759
Speaker 11: right now, it sounded dumb. I mean, he's won the

831
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 11: championship with the other game. Patino, the genius of Patino,

832
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:17,239
Speaker 11: the genius. He says, Uh, they were planning, did you

833
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 11: hear him talk? They were planning on some different plays

834
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 11: and back cuts blah blah blah blah blah. And then

835
00:45:22,360 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 11: Rick all of a sudden says, wait a minute, Darling

836
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 11: hasn't scored a basket in this game.

837
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:28,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he.

838
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 11: Can go coat. Let's just let him go coast to coast.

839
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 2: And they watched him do it, yep, after using up

840
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 2: all the fouls. What I like the most about Patino

841
00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 2: after the game is he was he made reference. You know,

842
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 2: I wouldn't mind one more game winner. I'd like to

843
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 2: beat Duke on a game winner, so maybe we can

844
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: get a little retribution and everyone stops talking about the

845
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 2: Latner shots. So I think the way Patino's handled it

846
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 2: back and forth, it's it's been so fun to watch,

847
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 2: and uh, it's it's gonna make for some really enticing

848
00:45:55,320 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: games on Thursday and Friday.

849
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,880
Speaker 11: You better be ready, Duke, you better be ready. Yes,

850
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 11: you are not gonna have physical this team. This team

851
00:46:02,239 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 11: is going to play you like a dog.

852
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 2: Correct, correct, Thanks, Thanks, Mike, appreciate you.

853
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 11: On Austin, Thank you, buddy.

854
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, let's piggyback that Austin. Let's let that start

865
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 2: NCAA Tournament for the first time today. Also some college

866
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,920
Speaker 2: basketball news, the former head coach of the Cincinnati Bearcats,

867
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,120

Speaker 2: the next head coach at Charlotte. So congratulations and good

869
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 2: luck to Wes Miller. Other coaching news, Jerry McNamara, the

870
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:21,320
Speaker 2: former Syracuse Orange basketball player who won a national title

871
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: at Syracuse, who was the head coach at Sienna, who

872
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: almost knocked off Duke Austin with one of the crazier

873
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,840
Speaker 2: statue'll ever see. It was the first time since nineteen

874
00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:34,200
Speaker 2: seventy four that a team played just five players every

875
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: minute of the game. Sianna falls to Duke in the

876
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 2: first round, seventy one to sixty five. McNamara is the

877
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 2: new head coach at Syracuse and has a chance to

878
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 2: coach the son of a player he won that national

879
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 2: title with. That would be Carmelo Anthony. His son is

880
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:58,760
Speaker 2: at Syracuse. Other news, Sean McDermott is out. I say, Sean, now, Doug, Sean,

881
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 2: what are we doing here? Struggling with this, struggling with

00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 2: McDermott today, it's Greg. Greg's out, He's done at Sean.

883
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 2: Sean is also out. Seawan's also done. I think he's

884
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,719
Speaker 2: taking a year off of coaching. Yeah, we'll see, We'll

885

886
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 2: Alan Husk coaching waiting is is already going to be

887
00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 2: the head coach at at Creighton. There is some interesting

888
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 2: schools to watch, North Carolina and potentially after hearing Bill

889
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 2: self in his post game yesterday, he's gonna take some

890
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 2: time to talk to his family, evaluate his health, his health.

891
00:48:35,680 --> 00:48:38,880
Speaker 2: That could be an interesting job opening as well. In

892
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:45,840
Speaker 2: the Kansas Jayhawks, the bracket itself, no mid majors, no

893
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:48,680
Speaker 2: mid majors, Austin make up the Sweet sixteen.

894
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:53,919
Speaker 3: People are complaining about this. They say there's no more Cinderellas. Yeah,

895
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:57,160
Speaker 3: that's because there's the money's different. Let's call it what

896
00:48:57,160 --> 00:49:00,560
Speaker 3: it is, the money's different. I don't think that it

897
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 3: necessarily means there can't be a Cinderella. I mean, we've

898
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 3: been close. It's not like you know, I mean, there

899
00:49:07,040 --> 00:49:11,080
Speaker 3: hasn't been a ton of them. But yeah, I mean

900
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:14,359
Speaker 3: I don't know that I'm necessarily surprised. No, I don't

901
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 3: feel like I'm less entertained.

902
00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: No, I see that that's me too. I feel like

903
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 2: it's been a very fun opening round or opening two rounds.

904
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 2: I mean Tommy Lloyd, the head coach for Arizona, who

905
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 2: knocked off a very good run from Utah State last

906
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 2: night after the game, said, look, there's going to be

907
00:49:30,960 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 2: a breaking point for some of the lesser programs that

908
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:36,759
Speaker 2: just don't have the finances. It's kind of what it is.

909
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 2: The mid major teams are not going to have the

910
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:45,319
Speaker 2: same financial opportunities as these major teams, and that's I

911
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 2: think why you're seeing the representation that you do in

912
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:52,399
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen. Some really cool moments over the course

913
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: of the first full weekend of the NCAA tournament. Let's

914
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: start in the East where Dukes squeaked by CNNA. They

915
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:02,840
Speaker 2: then took care of business against TCU, and they have

916
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:07,000
Speaker 2: set themselves up with a matchup coming up against Saint John's.

917
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 2: Saint John's a sixty seven sixty five winner on the

918
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,440
Speaker 2: Dylan Darling layup as time expired in that game, So

919
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:17,479
Speaker 2: number one Duke gets number five Saint John's in the East.

920
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 2: And then at the bottom half of that bracket, uh,

921
00:50:20,239 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 2: Michigan State has taken care of business in their first

922
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: two games and Yukon, after a slow start, took care

923
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,160
Speaker 2: of UCLA last night. So your final four teams in

924
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:34,400
Speaker 2: the East region Duke, Saint John's, Michigan State, and Yukon.

925
00:50:34,680 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 3: It was cool to see Mick Cronin lose to Dan Hurley.

926
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,120
Speaker 3: You want a fun factor back about Mick cronin What's

927
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 3: up so overall his head coaching record. Now this is

928
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,160
Speaker 3: according to his Wikipedia page. I don't know if it's

929
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:51,000
Speaker 3: been updated with what happened, but he has a five

930
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,240
Speaker 3: to twenty seven and two forty seven career head coaching record.

931
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:55,279
Speaker 2: That's sixt eighty one.

932
00:50:56,480 --> 00:51:01,400
Speaker 3: In postseason tournaments, he is sixteen in sixteen in the

933
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 3: NC DOUBLEA tournament, five hundred one and one in the

934
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 3: n I t oh and one in the CBI. Mick Cronin,

935
00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 3: if you go buy those numbers under five hundred in

936
00:51:11,600 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 3: his career in postseason tournament insane as a head coach, insane,

937
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 3: and once again could not get by a team seated

938
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,880
Speaker 3: higher than him in the NC DOUBLEA tournament.

939
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 2: Insane. Let's go out west for what is the bigger

940
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 2: surprise of the tournament, Not that Arizona is still alive.

941
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 2: I do think that that Arizona Arkansas matchup on Thursday.

942
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 3: Is going to be really good. I got myself leaning

943
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 3: towards the Razor.

944
00:51:39,640 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 2: I mean Arkansas. They have I think the best point

945
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 2: guard in the country in acuff Arizona is so massive inside,

946
00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: but the athleticism of Arkansas feels like that team that's

947
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:52,800
Speaker 2: peaking at the right time they got by High Point,

948
00:51:53,320 --> 00:51:55,480
Speaker 2: who upset Wisconsin on Day one of the tournament.

949
00:51:55,560 --> 00:52:00,360
Speaker 3: I heard somebody say this morning that could you say

950
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 3: that John Caliperi and Rick Patino are the two guys

951
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: best positioned to lead this era of college basketball based

952
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,759
Speaker 3: off of their experience coaching Ja Crows. You could also,

953
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,600
Speaker 3: by the way, talk about that with Nebraska. Nebraska led

954
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,560
Speaker 3: by Fred Hoiberg, who was in the NBA for a

955
00:52:20,560 --> 00:52:25,560
Speaker 3: little while. I'm curious about that now. How much does

956
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 3: it affect, you know, the actual game by game I

957
00:52:29,760 --> 00:52:32,360
Speaker 3: don't know, maybe not as much, but dealing with people,

958
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 3: roster building, the financial side of things. I'm not surprised

959
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 3: to see Saint John's in Arkansas right back in in

960
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 3: the Sweet sixteenth.

961
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 2: Winner of the Sean Miller Invitational last week in Dayton.

962
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:48,399
Speaker 2: Sean Miller himself has a Sweet sixteen squad. They beat

963
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:52,879
Speaker 2: BYU and then Gonzaga. What's going on with Mark Few

964
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:55,480
Speaker 2: and the Zags. It's the same thing every year. They

965
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:56,680
Speaker 2: could just kind of running stale.

966
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:57,959
Speaker 4: Well.

967
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 3: I saw a post this morning it's like, understand Mark

968
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 3: Few is the Gonzaga program, Like if you want him

969
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,600
Speaker 3: to leave, you wanted to get fired like we might

970
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 3: not hear from we might not hear from Gonzaga again. Yeah,

971
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 3: I think you could kind of make that comparison with Kentucky. Yeah,

972
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 3: Like we were going to talk about the Tyrese Halliburton

973
00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 3: tweet over the weekend. So who was it that that

974
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 3: beat Kentucky? Ioway, they beat him? They Yeah, So Iowa

975
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 3: beats Kentucky and Tyrese Halliburton in the NBA with the

976
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:32,200
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers and Iowa State alum said he went to

977
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 3: go text all as Kentucky boys and talk some smack,

978
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 3: and now they all consider themselves Arkansas alum, Like there

979
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:41,600
Speaker 3: are lums of Coach Cow more than they are alums

980
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,320
Speaker 3: of the Kentucky program. I also saw some Kentucky people

981
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:47,280
Speaker 3: over the weekend saying, we really thought that the program

982
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:48,320
Speaker 3: was bigger than Coach.

983
00:53:48,120 --> 00:53:51,479
Speaker 2: Cow, but maybe we were wrong. Well, what was big

984
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 2: in Kentucky if you go to the Midwest region is

985
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:55,479
Speaker 2: the twenty two million dollars they spent on the roster,

986
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 2: only to be beat by nineteen points in the second

987
00:53:59,480 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 2: round by Iowa State. Now, I will say this, Iowa State,

988
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,040
Speaker 2: who was without their second best player, I thought was

989
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 2: extremely impressive. They said at the halftime show. There's not

990
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 2: a defense Kentucky scene all year that's playing as aggressive

991
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 2: and strong as Iowa State is. They forced a ton

992
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 2: of turnovers. But what do you make Austin of a

993
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 2: year where you spend over twenty million dollars on a

994
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 2: roster to be a seventh seed and not even make

995
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen. Yeah, I mean, that's that's an interesting

996
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 2: interesting spot. Now in Lexington, Iowa State advances. They take

997
00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 2: on Tennessee, who knocked off the Cinderella run of Miami

998
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:40,040
Speaker 2: over the weekend seventy eight to fifty six. Then Tennessee

999
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 2: knocked off Virginia. Iowa State and Tennessee will play and

1000
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 2: the winner of that game will get the winner of Michigan,

1001
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 2: who at this point has slept walk essentially through to

1002
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 2: the Sweet sixteen. They now get Alabama Austin, Alabama ninety

1003
00:54:53,400 --> 00:54:56,000
Speaker 2: to sixty five winner over Texas Tech. Last night. I

1004
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:59,719
Speaker 2: think everyone saw Alabama, their second leading scorer got kicked off.

1005
00:55:00,080 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 2: He got a two point one pounds of weed that

1006
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,640
Speaker 2: we're in. It was in his room, so everyone kind

1007
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 2: of wrote them off. They beat Hofstra by twenty They

1008
00:55:08,080 --> 00:55:10,920
Speaker 2: beat Texas Tech by twenty five. Playing at the right

1009
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,680
Speaker 2: time right now with Alabama might be a sneaky good

1010
00:55:13,719 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 2: one against Michigan on Friday. Yeah, I mean, Roll Todd.

1011
00:55:19,120 --> 00:55:22,360
Speaker 2: I wonder what the conversations are in Lexington right now,

1012
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 2: and I'm sure we'll hear it from some talkbackers and

1013
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,000
Speaker 2: Big Blue Nation of what's transpiring with the Kentucky program.

1014
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 2: Outside of that, the final said, any of these lines

1015
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:36,000
Speaker 2: surprise you? Sweet sixteen lines? I mean you just mentioned

1016
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:38,200
Speaker 2: that game. Michigan's favored by ten and a half A

1017
00:55:38,239 --> 00:55:40,879
Speaker 2: little bit. I thought Iowa State would be favored by

1018
00:55:40,880 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: more in all honesty against Tennessee. That line's four and

1019
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 2: a half produced six and a half over an eleven

1020
00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 2: seed as a two seed is surprising to me. Arizona

1021
00:55:50,840 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 2: Arkansas eight and a half feels a little bit big.

1022
00:55:53,960 --> 00:55:56,120
Speaker 2: Michigan State Yukon, I feel like it's a coin flip

1023
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 2: and it's only a two and a half point spread.

1024
00:55:58,120 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: I think Duke Saint john six and a half is

1025
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,120
Speaker 2: probably right, although I could see away in which Saint

1026
00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 2: John's wins that game. And then, obviously in the South

1027
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,320
Speaker 2: the final region has the biggest upset so far of

1028
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:14,839
Speaker 2: the tournament. Iowa knocks off top ranked Florida seventy three,

1029
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 2: seventy two and Austin. It sets up what would be

1030
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 2: a great football matchup Iowa Nebraska.

1031
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,400
Speaker 3: That is one of them, that is one of the

1032
00:56:23,440 --> 00:56:27,719
Speaker 3: best rivalries that nobody talks about in college sports. I mean,

1033
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:32,399
Speaker 3: those two teams hate each other, and I think that'll

1034
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 3: be a lot of fun.

1035
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 2: Now you get that. And on the other side of that,

1036
00:56:35,280 --> 00:56:39,640
Speaker 2: Illinois has cruised through their first two. Houston cruise through

1037
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: their first two. Houston and Illinois. That's going to be

1038
00:56:42,560 --> 00:56:44,759
Speaker 2: a ten o'clock start on Thursday. Just a three and

1039
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:45,840
Speaker 2: a half point spread.

1040
00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,799
Speaker 3: Right now, who do you want Houston to win the

1041
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:53,960
Speaker 3: National Championship? Not picking your bracket, just like who were

1042
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:56,520
Speaker 3: you most interested in winning the National.

1043
00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,480
Speaker 2: Championship at this point? There are three teams that I

1044
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 2: think would be awesome story and every team would be

1045
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,320
Speaker 2: a great storyline. I think Samson getting one in Houston

1046
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 2: would be cool. I think Saint John's and Patino or

1047
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 2: Cal in Arkansas would be awesome.

1048
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,319
Speaker 3: I was gonna say Patino and Cal Perry. I just

1049
00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:14,920
Speaker 3: think it would be a cool story. YEP agreed.

1050
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 2: Out of the final remaining sixteen teams, just one ACC

1051
00:57:21,120 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: team remains. Yeah, they were terrible this year. The Big

1052
00:57:23,760 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 2: Ten has been dominant. Yeah, I mean, say what you

1053
00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 2: want about also, I just what the regular season looks like.

1054
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:33,720
Speaker 2: They have been dominant in the Sweet sixteen.

1055
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 3: I'm not one of those people that believes you should

1056
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 3: root for the conference of your favorite team. I'll never

1057
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 3: root for Michigan and Michigan State, I'm sure as I'm

1058
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 3: not rooting for Illinois, like I'm not rooting for any

1059
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: of those Big Ten teams.

1060
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:47,320
Speaker 2: Iowa.

1061
00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously somebody something's got to give in that game.

1062
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 3: But I've just never been that. I've never subscribed to

1063
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: that belief that you should root for your conference.

1064
00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 2: I think that's kind of silly. What what do you

1065
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 2: kind of views as the best Sweet sixteen matchup out there?

1066
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 2: Is it Duke Saint John's.

1067
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, probably. I think Illinois and Houston will probably probably

1068
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 3: be like a sneaky good one.

1069
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, And like you said, the the the tension with

1070
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 2: Iowa Nebraska should be phenomenal.

1071
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, where is that game being played? Do we know

1072
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:24,080
Speaker 3: that is in Houston? Okay, So that was one of

1073
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: the things when that when the bracket came out, that

1074
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 3: was interesting as Houston had to travel for their first

1075
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 3: two games, but if they could make the Sweet sixteen,

1076
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 3: they're they're Sweet sixteen, an Elite eight game or in

1077
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 3: their hometown. Yeah, they're playing in Houston. So I think

1078
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,720
Speaker 3: that's something to watch with Kelvin Samson's Houston Cougar's as well.

1079
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 3: I did see per ESPN they had like twenty six

1080
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,400
Speaker 3: or twenty eight million million brackets filled out, only two

1081
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 3: remaining are perfect. I think that's over now, is I

1082
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 3: think the none Florida loss destroyed that. Wow, from what

1083
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 3: I heard this morning. Okay, but don't quote me on

1084
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 3: to see if I can that's that double check?

1085
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 2: If so, out of twenty six or twenty eight million,

1086
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:11,080
Speaker 2: that's insane. Good for those folks who made it that far.

1087
00:59:11,200 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I haven't seen that there are any yes, zero

1088
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:16,840
Speaker 3: man perfect brackets.

1089
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:18,760
Speaker 2: Not even one Sweet sixteen game in.

1090
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 3: I saw that the person who had a perfect bracket

1091
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 3: last year never got paid. Really, so I don't know

1092
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 3: what the story is there. I'm sure there's probably something interesting.

1093
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 3: I do think it's you can go on the celebrity

1094
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 3: brackets page on ESPN and see what some of these people,

1095
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:41,959
Speaker 3: if we care, have have filled out how about Peter

1096
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 3: Schreger picked the Arkansas Razorbacks to win the national championship.

1097
00:59:47,880 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 2: Okay, so a.

1098
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 4: Lot of Arizona on here notes that that did happen.

1099
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,800
Speaker 2: Iowa State mentioned Jefferson, who was out he hopes to

1100
00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:59,920
Speaker 2: return in the Sweet sixteen. That Kentucky lost was its

1101
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 2: worst Kentucky worst tournament loss since nineteen seventy two. And

1102
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 2: March Madness listen to this has its best television start

1103
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 2: since twenty eleven. Viewership was up five percent. So since

1104
01:00:20,680 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 2: CBS and TNT began showing all the games in twenty eleven,

1105
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 2: their viewership has seen the best start. And I think

1106
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 2: that's always interesting, Austin, when you go about people that

1107
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,600
Speaker 2: talk about nil and the transfer portal ruining the sport,

1108
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: a lot of people are still tuning into it. Yeah,

1109
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: I know.

1110
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:37,800
Speaker 3: Mode did a whole segment on that not that long

1111
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 3: ago about how everybody can say, yeah that this is

1112
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,440
Speaker 3: ruining the sport and it's the wild wild West and

1113
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 3: I can't stand this, and I can't stand then now

1114
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,720
Speaker 3: you're it's still watching it.

1115
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,960
Speaker 2: Let's grab one phone call before we get to our talkbacks.

1116
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: David is calling in.

1117
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:00,760
Speaker 13: What's up, David, Yeah, just because I don't like what

1118
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:01,920
Speaker 13: they're doing doesn't mean I'm not going.

1119
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:03,480
Speaker 11: To watch they.

1120
01:01:04,160 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 13: First off, audio, you said something great that I've been

1121
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,680
Speaker 13: telling people too, that the Calipari's and the Patinos not

1122
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,600
Speaker 13: only are they obviously been in the NBA and they're

1123
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:15,160
Speaker 13: coaching that way, but they've also turned their entire athletics

1124
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 13: system into an NBA franchise. They've got the general managers,

1125
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 13: they've got scouts, they've got people who are dedicated just

1126
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:24,320
Speaker 13: to the NIL market. And if you've got that kind

1127
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:27,600
Speaker 13: of cachet and you can convince your athletic department to

1128
01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 13: do that, I think that's where the success is going

1129
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 13: to be. Side note as well too. I've gotten my

1130
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:35,400
Speaker 13: bracket Saint John's over Arkansas in my final game, so

1131
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,720
Speaker 13: I'm loving life and I'm doing really way. I did

1132
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 13: not get into your bracket because everybody and their brother

1133
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 13: asked me to get into THEIRS. I nailed thirty one

1134
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 13: out of thirty two first round games. I have no

1135
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 13: idea how I did it. I don't know why I

1136
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 13: picked High Point I got them, but anyway, for what

1137
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 13: it's worth, I was in Saint Louis and I wanted

1138
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,360
Speaker 13: to say this because I got back home here and

1139
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 13: I'm hearing all these Kentucky fans, are people talking about

1140
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 13: that game, and I'll tell you what Iowa State is

1141
01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:06,880
Speaker 13: just I mean, even without their best player. Yep, yesterday,

1142
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:10,160
Speaker 13: Oh my goodness, I see Xavier up close. I've seen

1143
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 13: a lot of big teams. That team was something else.

1144
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 13: We were all remarking that we've never seen something as

1145
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 13: like like Iowa State's currently putting up there on a

1146
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,440
Speaker 13: side notice as well too. I was thrilled to be

1147
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:27,600
Speaker 13: the statistician and called Brandon Smith's breaking assist record in

1148
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 13: the Purdue game on Friday. So rarely do I get

1149
01:02:30,440 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 13: one of those moments where I go, Wow, that's going

1150
01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:34,720
Speaker 13: to last forever possibly or a really long time. Hurleys

1151
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:36,840
Speaker 13: was out there for a good twenty something years, so

1152
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:41,240
Speaker 13: I'm excited about that very anyway. I would also like

1153
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,160
Speaker 13: to say to watch an always shot right where I

1154
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 13: was at, too holy, that was not you could not

1155
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 13: call that time out. The rules say too late, sorry,

1156
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 13: too late on that one. Finally, you guys were talking

1157
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 13: earlier about you see baseball.

1158
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Do you know what tomorrow is, Xavier? The crossdown shootout schedule.

1159
01:02:57,400 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 13: Yeah, the crosstown shootouts. So let me start with this.

1160
01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 13: The number is eighty eight and seventy four days since

1161
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 13: the Bearcats has beaten Xavier in the sinis there. But

1162
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 13: even bigger, this is this is what's crazy. You know,

1163
01:03:08,640 --> 01:03:11,280
Speaker 13: It's been one thousand and ninety seven days since the

1164
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 13: UC baseball team has beaten the Xavier baseball team at

1165
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 13: Hayden Field. Take it further, they haven't even beaten Xavier

1166
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 13: at all in seven hundred and thirteen days.

1167
01:03:22,200 --> 01:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Wow.

1168
01:03:22,520 --> 01:03:25,240
Speaker 13: So hey, you see, get your act together or just

1169
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 13: let Xavier keep running all over.

1170
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Many a challenge David Big David had a busy weekend.

1171
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 11: Cool.

1172
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 3: That's unbelievable out there doing stats. I'll tell you that's

1173
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 3: one thing I'll never be able to do. I don't

1174
01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 3: have the brain power for stats a statistician like I've

1175
01:03:44,160 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 3: worked on some some radio broadcasts before, for like NFL games,

1176
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,800
Speaker 3: and the stats people amaze me the way that they

1177
01:03:51,840 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 3: can so quickly get the numbers to the play by

1178
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 3: play high or the analysts like it is fat Like

1179
01:03:58,320 --> 01:03:59,959
Speaker 3: I just don't have a brain that works.

1180
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 2: The otega Oway game winner against Santa Clara. What a cool,

1181
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,440
Speaker 2: cool moment in the tournament.

1182
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:10,280
Speaker 3: Did you see the video of like a car dealership

1183
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 3: in Lexington that like a customer walked in for like

1184
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 3: the final minute of the game and they the customer

1185
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:20,600
Speaker 3: gets mad and throws his pen, and all the sales guys,

1186
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 3: they're all just kind of standing around watching the game,

1187
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,520
Speaker 3: and then they all just next thing you know, it's pandemonium.

1188
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,520
Speaker 3: They're high five and they're hugging each other. This cool moment,

1189
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:30,120
Speaker 3: crazy craziness.

1190
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:32,240
Speaker 2: And the unfortunate thing for Kentucky they turned it over

1191
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 2: twenty times yesterday and it led to a blowout loss.

1192
01:04:34,360 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 3: You'll always have that one buzzer beater in the tournament though, Yep,

1193
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 3: nobody will ever be able to take that away from you.

1194
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 2: You get that moment. They can't take that back from you.

Speaker 3: I was listening to this yesterday, so I had to eat.

1222
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 3: I was about to have to eat some crow because

1223
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 3: Graham Ashcraft had like not walked anybody in three appearances.

1224
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 3: But of course I'm listening as I'm making a run

1225
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 3: to the store, and Tommy Thrall, who God bless him.

1226

1227
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,520
Speaker 3: by himself, and he had to do another one by

1228
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 3: himself yesterday. And he's going on and on about how

1229
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 3: Graham Ashcraft had a rough start to the spring, but

1230
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 3: he's really turned it around. He stopped walking batters and

1231
01:06:36,720 --> 01:06:40,160
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah blah. Sure he walked the lead

1232
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:43,200
Speaker 3: off guy he faced. He's gotta lead the league in

1233
01:06:43,240 --> 01:06:43,960
Speaker 3: that category.

1234
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 2: Can you just see like now, like Trevor, like, Ashcraft

1235
01:06:51,240 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: comes in in like the seventh Trevor story leads off

1236
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: into four pitch walk. Yeah, and I expected.

1237
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,880
Speaker 3: I mean I've seen Graham Ashcraft almost every pitch he's

1238
01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:01,880
Speaker 3: ever thrown in his career.

1239
01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know what to expect.

1240
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:03,920
Speaker 7: Yep.

1241
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:08,360
Speaker 15: Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan. And well, I'm

1242
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 15: checking into a juicy rumor that just came across my

1243
01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:17,160
Speaker 15: desk about Utah State basketball coach Jared Calhoun. It says

1244
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 15: that Calhoun, who served under Bob Huggins, just may be

1245
01:07:21,760 --> 01:07:26,840
Speaker 15: related to John C. Calhoun, who served as vice president

1246
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:30,920
Speaker 15: under both John Quincy Adams Junior Third and Andrew Jackson.

1247
01:07:31,400 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 15: Stay tuned for further details.

1248
01:07:33,200 --> 01:07:34,480
Speaker 2: Wow, I didn't know this.

1249
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:38,720
Speaker 3: How many people have served as vice president for two

1250
01:07:38,760 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 3: different presidents or more than one president?

1251
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,600
Speaker 2: Great question? Write that down.

1252
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 17: Hey, guys, good show. Since you guys got power of

1253
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 17: the airwaves, you might want to tell Joe Burrow take

1254
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 17: it easy on the flag football stuff. Over the weekend.

1255
01:07:51,200 --> 01:07:53,320
Speaker 17: He did a couple of spin moves here and there.

1256
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:56,960
Speaker 17: His ankle could have gotten worse as knee or as

1257
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:01,440
Speaker 17: aco could have been torn all for what nothing. I mean,

1258
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 17: come on, man, the Bengals need him this year and

1259
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,360
Speaker 17: this is not the time right now to do all this.

1260
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 17: If I'm the owners of the Bengals or the power

1261
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,320
Speaker 17: of the airwaves like you guys do, I'd say something.

1262
01:08:12,080 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 2: To him, Well, we don't have the power to say

1263
01:08:14,400 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 2: anything to him. Well what do you mean? I mean,

1264
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:18,640
Speaker 2: we can say what we have in power the air

1265
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: when speaking directly to Joe. They're listening right now, you know.

1266
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:25,280
Speaker 2: I was. I was even okay until I saw like

1267
01:08:25,439 --> 01:08:27,960
Speaker 2: the throwback at the top of the field to Burrow

1268
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,040
Speaker 2: or he caught it and then simultaneously tried to cut

1269
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 2: and I'm like, what what are we doing? At this point?

1270
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,320
Speaker 3: I also will say this not for nothing. The dudes

1271
01:08:36,320 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 3: are making a lot of cash doing that. I would

1272
01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,040
Speaker 3: love to know the amount of money that Joe Burrow

1273
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 3: was paid for the Pro Bowl and for that, I

1274
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,479
Speaker 3: bet it's a lot of mine more aware more at

1275
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,720
Speaker 3: that or more at the Pro Bowl. Probably more at that,

1276
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:50,160
Speaker 3: I would assume.

1277
01:08:50,439 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1278
01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 3: Also, I'm pretty sure he has to approve this stuff

1279
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 3: with the Bengals. Joe Tobin made a comment about that that, like,

1280
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 3: I've talked to Joe and Joel asked me for permission

1281
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:02,800
Speaker 3: on things and stuff like that.

1282
01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:06,600
Speaker 2: Right that, That, to me is the the part that

1283
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:09,559
Speaker 2: I think a lot of people probably don't look into

1284
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 2: very rarely, especially the way contracts are and how much

1285
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 2: money the organization is paying him and any other player.

1286
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 2: At this point, I don't see a scenario where that

1287
01:09:20,200 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 2: player is playing without the consent of their organization.

1288
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:28,839
Speaker 3: Right, And Jayden Daniels played, Jalen Hurts played, Yeah.

1289
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:36,040
Speaker 4: He minded.

1290
01:09:36,080 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 18: Everybody over today is almost here, really excited for it. Man,

1291
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:43,439
Speaker 18: we had some baseball weather yesterday. Today it feels like

1292
01:09:43,479 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 18: football weather. That temperature dropped quicker than my bracket didn't

1293
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,720
Speaker 18: in the bracket. Yeah, I can't wait to see you

1294
01:09:48,760 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 18: all and everybody on Thursday and a big shout out

1295
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:52,439
Speaker 18: to the bozo over the weekend.

1296
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:55,080
Speaker 2: They're old cam scatter brain on the remarks he had.

1297
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: Did you see the scout scoutaboo remarks?

1298
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:01,720
Speaker 3: I didn't see what he said, but I saw he

1299
01:10:01,760 --> 01:10:03,599
Speaker 3: had to apologize for saying it.

1300
01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: Yeah. Why did he say CTE isn't real or something? Essentially? Yes, okay,

1301
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 2: he's He also said that asthma was was fake as well.

1302
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,519
Speaker 2: He said, if you have that, you're just soft. So

1303
01:10:18,840 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 2: you know, asthma is something that affects about two hundred

1304
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:21,799
Speaker 2: and sixty million folks.

1305
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, and people who have asthma will tell you it's

1306
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 3: very freaking real.

1307
01:10:26,200 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1308
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 10: Yep, Happy Monday, guys. EJ on the East End. Can't

1309
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 10: wait for another mock draf Monday. Please take the offensive

1310
01:10:34,600 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 10: tackle guys, stop overthinking it with the cornerback and linebacker.

1311
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,559
Speaker 10: Remember the mantra you got to get the big guys early.

1312
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:46,960
Speaker 10: Take the okey uh. The bracket died last night. No

1313
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,799
Speaker 10: more battling it out with Richard Skinner for eightieth place

1314
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 10: or whatever. And props to Audi for repping the tofu

1315
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:55,439
Speaker 10: tacos down there.

1316
01:10:55,640 --> 01:11:01,000
Speaker 3: Dudep oh, I saw that so had chance to go

1317
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 3: down Michael and Anderson was gracious enough to send down

1318
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 3: an invite to go down to the Reds ballpark food

1319
01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,960
Speaker 3: tasting and everything was awesome, and I was like, you know,

1320
01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 3: there's some Tofu tacos over there that look pretty good.

1321
01:11:14,920 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 3: They were called Tofuego tacos. I didn't know Tofu could

1322
01:11:19,160 --> 01:11:22,599
Speaker 3: taste that good. Wow, it was I could have eaten

1323
01:11:22,640 --> 01:11:23,800
Speaker 3: a thousand of those things.

1324
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 2: What was your favorite?

1325
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 3: It was those, for sure, but they had burnt ends,

1326
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:32,320
Speaker 3: stadium burnt ends that were now my fantastic Dan Horde.

1327
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 2: When we travel to Kansas City or somewhere like that,

1328
01:11:36,560 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 2: he will map out the best spot to grab some

1329
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,800
Speaker 2: burn D's. Oh yeah, big burn in guy's hoard. Dan

1330
01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 2: and I talk more about food than we do sports.

1331
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:51,519
Speaker 15: Double Dipper Gipper here. You know, I'm really regretting when

1332
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,320
Speaker 15: I said that the Reds need to get off to

1333
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:55,759
Speaker 15: a blistering start.

1334
01:11:56,360 --> 01:12:00,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, gotta worry about that word. Hey, Jeff Case here

1335
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:01,920
Speaker 2: coming in on.

1336
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:04,680
Speaker 19: The Reds went out to Arizona last week for the

1337
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 19: first time and went to spring training and h washed

1338
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:11,720
Speaker 19: a game, sew some practice things like that, And I

1339
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:12,320
Speaker 19: gotta tell you.

1340
01:12:12,560 --> 01:12:15,040
Speaker 2: It was pretty cool. I did not know what to

1341
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 2: expect going into it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it.

1342
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:20,360
Speaker 19: If anybody ever gets out there, I recommend going.

1343
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:23,679
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think i've ever heard for a good season.

1344
01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone's ever said anything negative here the

1345
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 2: way he said that, Yeah, it's just so for good.

1346
01:12:30,040 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 2: You got to see spring training, so you're good.

1347
01:12:32,120 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 3: I did not when we went. We did not go

1348
01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:37,040
Speaker 3: to a practice. But I do think that would be

1349
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:37,919
Speaker 3: cool to see.

1350
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 20: With blisters being a problem for Reds pitchers for multiple seasons,

1351
01:12:42,720 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 20: you think they would have discovered callous building to prevent

1352
01:12:45,280 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 20: them by now. It seems like a pretty fast and

1353
01:12:48,200 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 20: effective way of dealing with blisters, So why don't they

1354
01:12:51,200 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 20: already do this?

1355
01:12:54,120 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 2: It is so sure they try to figure out ways.

1356
01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,920
Speaker 3: I would assume the reason for that would be the

1357
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:03,240
Speaker 3: grip on the ball. You have to be able to

1358
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:06,000
Speaker 3: have a grip on the ball that can create that spin,

1359
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 3: and if you have a callous you probably can't grip.

1360
01:13:11,040 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 2: I wonder if the heat as well in Arizona, had

1361
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,280
Speaker 2: something to do with it. That's what they say.

1362
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,040
Speaker 3: They say the heat makes it happen quicker and it

1363
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 3: was well over one hundred in Arizona for.

1364
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:23,479
Speaker 4: Like two weeks, so I'm sure that played a role.

1365
01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 21: It's greg three days before opening day, Hunter Green out,

1366
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 21: Nick Ladola out Gee. I hope Tyler Stevenson can make

1367
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:37,200
Speaker 21: it another three days and be able to play Thursday.

1368
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 21: Those three guys are nothing but soft.

1369
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:45,720
Speaker 2: Wow, it's quite an accusation. So when will we know

1370
01:13:45,840 --> 01:13:48,919
Speaker 2: more about the Lodolo side of things today?

1371
01:13:48,960 --> 01:13:52,840
Speaker 3: I would assume. I would assume today, so they talk,

1372
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:54,800
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know who all is going to

1373
01:13:54,840 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 3: be in Milwaukee.

1374
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,759
Speaker 2: My concern though, covering is that when talking about the blister,

1375
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,639
Speaker 2: Francona said, quote they popped it over in the training

1376
01:14:02,720 --> 01:14:06,000
Speaker 2: room and drained some of it. So if that's the

1377
01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 2: case that if it's popped, I don't know, that's not

1378
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 2: the early stage of a blister. That's that's kind of

1379
01:14:12,520 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: on the back end of it.

1380
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 3: Not ideal, And there's like a there's something they call

1381
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 3: second skin that you can put on that.

1382
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:24,559
Speaker 2: I guess it's just all about the recovery. In August

1383
01:14:24,560 --> 01:14:27,160
Speaker 2: of last year, he had the blister issue and he

1384
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:28,160
Speaker 2: missed twenty three days.

1385
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:35,120
Speaker 22: Yeah, Delta Airlines canceled my trip to Hawaii last week.

1386
01:14:35,200 --> 01:14:38,840
Speaker 22: Because of bad weather, I ended up staying in Los

1387
01:14:38,840 --> 01:14:43,080
Speaker 22: Angeles for several days. While there, I asked people, do.

1388
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:43,960
Speaker 4: You know Tony Pike?

1389
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:47,360
Speaker 22: No one knew Tony Pike except one guy hesitated. He

1390
01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:48,720
Speaker 22: was like the architect.

1391
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:50,320
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, never mind.

1392
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:53,519
Speaker 22: Anyway, it's good to be back, Austin. I heard you

1393
01:14:53,560 --> 01:14:56,200
Speaker 22: in the first hour say I'm dead last in some

1394
01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:57,320
Speaker 22: basketball pool.

1395
01:14:57,560 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 2: You got the wrong guy, brother, I'm not in any

1396
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,599
Speaker 2: basketball Oh sure you're not. Man, is it a poster?

1397
01:15:04,360 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 2: Maybe it is. I guess we don't know.

1398
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:10,240
Speaker 23: I got a question about the show. Who decides the

1399
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,759
Speaker 23: starting times of each show or is it just based

1400
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 23: on like ads, because I know you guys usually start

1401
01:15:17,040 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 23: at twelve oh one and then Moe starts using like

1402
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 23: three oh six, So I'm just wondering what determines that.

1403
01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 3: So our clock is a little bit different than Moe's clock,

1404
01:15:28,360 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 3: and it's based off of ESPN. So if you listen

1405
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,720
Speaker 3: during MOS show, they do a top of the hour

1406
01:15:35,840 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 3: sports center, or at least when Moe hits it on time.

1407
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:42,559
Speaker 3: So three o'clock you hear a sports center, four o'clock

1408
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:44,479
Speaker 3: you hear a sports center, five o'clock. You hear a

1409
01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 3: sports center, so i'm we go sports center, and then

1410
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 3: some spots and then Mo starts. Yeah, I think, and

1411
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:54,880
Speaker 3: I don't know this for sure, but I think when

1412
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,559
Speaker 3: this show started, the goal was to make it very

1413
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 3: different than anything else, which meant that it started at

1414
01:16:03,439 --> 01:16:08,759
Speaker 3: the top of the hour, which was once people start listening,

1415
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:11,320
Speaker 3: they'll stay there, as opposed to Okay, you go over

1416
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 3: to one station to hear the news and then you

1417
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 3: come back to come to this and blah blah blah

1418
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 3: blah blah blah blah.

1419
01:16:15,240 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 2: I think I wasn't it originally with I think it

1420
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 2: was with three sixty It was three segments in the hour.

1421
01:16:20,760 --> 01:16:22,679
Speaker 2: Segments were a little louder at one point or longer

1422
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:23,719
Speaker 2: at one point. Yeah.

1423
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 3: And the whole purpose was that James, I think, would

1424
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 3: take one topic yeah and look at three different sides

1425
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:31,439
Speaker 3: of it.

1426
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 2: Yeah. So yeah, and its inception.

1427
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 24: My reason for optimism this season for the Threads is

1428
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:42,439
Speaker 24: pretty simple. I think we'll score more runs than they

1429
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 24: did last year. Those two to one ball games that

1430
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,960
Speaker 24: we seemingly always lost. I feel like we'll be on

1431
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 24: the other side of that spectrum, just simply because we're

1432
01:16:50,840 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 24: going to score more runs. I feel like we can

1433
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 24: hit better, and if that's the case, I think we

1434
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,320
Speaker 24: have a potential to have a very very good season.

1435
01:16:57,840 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 4: Take the over, let's go.

1436
01:17:00,240 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 2: My pushback would be how many games are they going

1437
01:17:02,320 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 2: to be giving up too? Or fewer runs? Great questions.

1438
01:17:04,920 --> 01:17:06,400
Speaker 2: That's what fellas Happy Monday.

1439
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:10,360
Speaker 25: Unlike Wes Miller, Pat Noonan may have just bought himself

1440
01:17:10,439 --> 01:17:13,520
Speaker 25: a little more time yesterday. I mean, what a comeback.

1441
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:16,519
Speaker 25: Giving up the PK to go down three to two

1442
01:17:16,720 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 25: in the sixty fourth minute with the Miles Robinson red

1443
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 25: card did not leave me with a lot of hope.

1444
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:25,800
Speaker 25: But somehow, some way they did it. Hey, is it

1445
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 25: too late to substitute Nick Haglin and for Andrew Abbott

1446
01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:30,920
Speaker 25: on an opening day? I mean that throwing for the

1447
01:17:30,960 --> 01:17:33,000
Speaker 25: game winning goal was spot on?

1448
01:17:33,400 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Haglin for Lodolo now, but jokes aside.

1449
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:40,280
Speaker 25: We did go from a possible top five rotation to

1450
01:17:40,560 --> 01:17:43,839
Speaker 25: Hunter Green out for half the season. Another Dolo blister

1451
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 25: that may linger and our opening day starter getting rocked

1452
01:17:47,600 --> 01:17:48,120
Speaker 25: all spring.

1453
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1454
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 25: I expect the offense to be better, but it's unlikely

1455
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 25: to make a difference if our top of the rotation,

1456
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 25: guys aren't available or effective.

1457
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:56,920
Speaker 13: Yea.

1458
01:17:57,400 --> 01:18:01,160
Speaker 25: Having said that, absolutely stoked for third. Hope to see

1459
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 25: you guys down at Smoke Justice have a good one.

1460
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I always think it's unique as well. Like we've

1461
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 2: talked to Bob Manjan from Novacare about this before. How

1462
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:10,439
Speaker 2: you deal with an injury at the start of a

1463
01:18:10,479 --> 01:18:12,800
Speaker 2: season versus the middle of the season versus the end

1464
01:18:12,800 --> 01:18:15,519
Speaker 2: of the season. You know, how cautious are you at

1465
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:17,680
Speaker 2: the start of the year to make sure it's not

1466
01:18:17,720 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 2: something that lingers throughout a whole year.

1467
01:18:21,760 --> 01:18:27,479
Speaker 26: Love the tournament, I'll tell you Kansas, Florida played some

1468
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:31,760
Speaker 26: horrible defense at the end. You know, Kansas, you gotta

1469
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:34,439
Speaker 26: let some time run off the clock, And I wonder

1470
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 26: what the hell Florida was doing. I think reds be

1471
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:42,960
Speaker 26: optimistic about South Stewart Sorez McClain.

1472
01:18:43,720 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 27: Okay, okay, hey, fellas, it's Mike in La. I'm gonna

1473
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,679
Speaker 27: proceed to talk about how good Florida is for sixteen

1474
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:58,000
Speaker 27: weeks straight and continue to clog up the airways with

1475
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,400
Speaker 27: how good they are, and then they're going to get

1476
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:01,719
Speaker 27: bounced in the second round.

1477
01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:02,600
Speaker 28: Are you kidding me?

1478
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 11: Oh?

1479
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:08,280
Speaker 3: Jeez, dang, There's been a lot of criticism towards Mike

1480
01:19:08,320 --> 01:19:10,919
Speaker 3: in La the last couple unbelievable.

1481
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:15,520
Speaker 29: Hi, Tony and Austin. I'm believing. Yeah, there still are cinderellas.

1482
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:20,960
Speaker 29: Look at Iowa. Iowa stunk this year and here they are,

1483
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 29: so you know, who knows. We'll see how far that

1484
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 29: takes them. I was really hoping Akron would be the Cinderella,

1485
01:19:29,120 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 29: but yeah, that didn't happen either. Okay, guys, have a

1486
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 29: great day and a great week.

1487
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,479
Speaker 2: I don't think it's as much about cinderellas as it

1488
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 2: is the mid majors. Like the Iowa Hawkeys has a

1489
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 2: nine seed, great story. They have the money available in

1490
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 2: the Big ten. I think it's more about the nil

1491
01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,880
Speaker 2: dollars in the mid majors, like eleven seeded Texas that

1492
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:54,640
Speaker 2: could be a Cinderella story, but Texas plays in a

1493
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,719
Speaker 2: power conference. Texas spends a lot of money on their roster.

1494
01:19:57,840 --> 01:19:59,519
Speaker 2: That's a little bit different than what the mid majors

1495
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:00,120
Speaker 2: are able to do.

1496
01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 27: I mean, yeah, Austin, in an air of college sports

1497
01:20:05,280 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 27: where you can pay the athletes legally, who would it

1498
01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 27: be surprised where Patino and John Colin pr.

1499
01:20:10,920 --> 01:20:16,639
Speaker 23: Review the two most successful coaches noted, yeoh, Tony, I'm

1500
01:20:16,640 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 23: going to assume you don't have any idea how to

1501
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:20,639
Speaker 23: clip what someone says.

1502
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 30: But Austin just said, yeah, I mean roll Tide, you

1503
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 30: should probably clip that.

1504
01:20:27,320 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 2: Save it. He's got like probably thirteen of you.

1505
01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:34,120
Speaker 3: That's true. Stand I mean, I stand by it. That's

1506
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,240
Speaker 3: true for the as far as the context is concerned.

1507
01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:42,120
Speaker 3: I mean, here's one go box, yes, most saying go Bucks.

1508
01:20:42,240 --> 01:20:42,719
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1509
01:20:42,920 --> 01:20:45,080
Speaker 3: I used to have one of you saying go Bucks,

1510
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:51,479
Speaker 3: but it's apparently apparently disappeared. Really, so, I don't know

1511
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 3: if maybe you had one of your guys cronies come

1512
01:20:54,760 --> 01:20:56,200
Speaker 3: in here and take care of.

1513
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:57,600
Speaker 7: That, and the minute you decide you want to be

1514
01:20:57,600 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 7: a buckeyt of your left changes forever.

1515
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 3: That ain't it. That was coach day, that ain't it.

1516
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:03,880
Speaker 3: But I can't find the one I had of you,

1517
01:21:04,479 --> 01:21:08,520
Speaker 3: so I imagine it was part of your signing bonus.

1518
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:14,599
Speaker 2: Interesting, Hey, guys, Marcus from the groove Marcus uh pope.

1519
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:20,599
Speaker 30: Yes, the roster construction of that team was just awful.

1520
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 30: He said it over and over that he never had

1521
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 30: a true backup point guard. Well, guess what whose fault

1522
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:31,160
Speaker 30: is that yours? It's yours. I don't think he deserves

1523
01:21:31,160 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 30: a third year, just a dominant team and it wouldn't

1524
01:21:35,439 --> 01:21:35,920
Speaker 30: even close.

1525
01:21:36,320 --> 01:21:37,559
Speaker 28: It's just a sad day.

1526
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 2: Now, see that would That's more on what I was

1527
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:44,679
Speaker 2: leaning into. Are are we as a Kentucky fan base

1528
01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:47,280
Speaker 2: who listens to this show? Are you at the point

1529
01:21:47,280 --> 01:21:49,439
Speaker 2: where you're ready to move on from Mark Pope already?

1530
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,599
Speaker 3: I don't like to hear Marcus like that. What's supposed

1531
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,280
Speaker 3: to be a joyous week?

1532
01:21:55,560 --> 01:21:57,160
Speaker 2: Yes for him? Go Bucks?

1533
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:57,840
Speaker 10: There it is?

1534
01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,640
Speaker 2: Okay, go Bucks found that.

1535

Speaker 2: That's my favorite.

1537
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,560
Speaker 4: With the amount of deep threes going on in the

1538
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:12,719
Speaker 4: NCAA tournament, do you think they should move to three

1539
01:22:12,800 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 4: point line back?

1540
01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:14,599
Speaker 5: Now?

Speaker 30: Uh.

1560
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 28: You can find his commentary somewhere online, but he he

1561
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,880
Speaker 28: pretty much laid out what the problem is with Pope.

1562
01:23:22,520 --> 01:23:26,559
Speaker 28: Uh and uh around here people just thought aren't real

1563
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:30,240
Speaker 28: happy with him. So there's that, all right, go big

1564
01:23:30,280 --> 01:23:31,479

01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 5: What's up, Tony and Austin. It's me Carson Hill from Fairborne, Ohio.

1571
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 5: I would like to say that the Beagles fan mock draft.

1572
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:03,679
Speaker 5: I think Caleb Downs is an interesting decision. I think

1573
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,560
Speaker 5: with the addition Brian Cooks, we have a good secondary

1574
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:11,360
Speaker 5: in a safety room. I think we should draft the

1575
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,520
Speaker 5: corner out of LSU Monsieur.

1576
01:24:16,720 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 2: Did he purposely get all those names wrong? Monsieur is

1577
01:24:20,640 --> 01:24:24,240
Speaker 2: interesting from Fairborne, so Monsur is an interesting one.

1578
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:25,439

1624
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:09,120

1625
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:12,760
Speaker 2: Red's opening Day, let's continue our countdown here, Austin. I

1626
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 2: think number three a lot of people are just going

1627
01:27:15,320 --> 01:27:17,800
Speaker 2: to go to the goat himself. Ken Griffy Jr. Yeah,

1628
01:27:17,800 --> 01:27:20,040
Speaker 2: I mean, there's nobody else really that you need to

1629
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 2: talk about. And really, from two thousand and eight Griffy's

1630
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,880
Speaker 2: final season to really twenty twenty four, no one really

1631
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:30,200
Speaker 2: pushed for the number twenty three. There were some in there,

1632
01:27:30,360 --> 01:27:36,120
Speaker 2: mean three, yes, Scooter Jeanette, Freddie, galvis I Avondejesus, Chris Volakia,

1633
01:27:36,439 --> 01:27:39,640
Speaker 2: Patrick Kivlahan. But it wasn't until twenty twenty four, when

1634
01:27:39,720 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 2: jam Or Candelario donned it that it felt like number

1635
01:27:43,120 --> 01:27:44,599
Speaker 2: three was back in its rightful spot.

1636
01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:45,080
Speaker 4: Wrong.

1637
01:27:45,479 --> 01:27:48,120
Speaker 3: Oh, what about Gookie Dawkins In two thousand and two,

1638
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,480
Speaker 3: how could we forget about gooky pokies?

1639
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:52,599
Speaker 2: For many years was number three?

1640
01:27:52,680 --> 01:27:57,559
Speaker 3: I loved Pokey rees. So also, no Ernie Lombardi. What's

1641
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 3: crazy about this? No Ernie Lombardi. But for the better

1642
01:28:01,200 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 3: part of fifty years, over fifty years, nobody wore number

1643
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 3: three from the Reds.

1644
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:07,680

01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:13,000
Speaker 3: Nobody wore the Estelle crabtree in nineteen forty four, nobody

1646
01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:15,599
Speaker 3: wore it again until Pokey in nineteen ninety seven.

1647
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:20,160

1673
01:29:56,760 --> 01:29:59,240

1674
01:29:59,280 --> 01:30:02,120
Speaker 2: a couple names on that list do make sense for

1675
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:05,000
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. And then, of course there's the upcoming

1676

1682
01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:30,639

1683

1684
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:39,040
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh will go remote for those three days. Okay,

1685
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:39,920
Speaker 2: how about that?

1686
01:30:40,200 --> 01:30:40,479
Speaker 10: Cool?

1687
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:44,200

1688
01:30:44,200 --> 01:30:45,519
Speaker 2: you can say, why don't you just give them at

1689
01:30:45,600 --> 01:30:48,679
Speaker 2: least one day? That got rejected to make them go remote,

1690
01:30:49,120 --> 01:30:51,719
Speaker 2: you know once, but they went back to the remote learning.

1691
01:30:51,840 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 3: I do I want to say this before I saw

1692
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,600
Speaker 3: it on my timeline. I think our listeners need to

1693
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 3: know this before we get fully into the football conversation.

1694
01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 3: CNL Perez, Oh the Highway. He has made the Washington

1695
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:11,080
Speaker 3: Nationals Opening day roster. Really, according to Francis Romero, who

1696
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:17,479
Speaker 3: is a reporter covering the Nationals, so CNL Perez, who

1697
01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:21,160
Speaker 3: spent most of his time in Cincinnati on I seventy one,

1698
01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:25,800
Speaker 3: going back and forth from Louisville to Cincinnati, Nice and

1699
01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:27,479
Speaker 3: the CNL Perez Express, will be.

1700
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,479
Speaker 2: An All Star this year. He's back All Star season

1701
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:33,200
Speaker 2: coming for CNL. He actually has been pretty good the

1702
01:31:33,280 --> 01:31:36,720
Speaker 2: last couple of years. Yep, Baltimore, We'll take your phone calls.

1703
01:31:36,760 --> 01:31:38,720
Speaker 2: In just a few moments before that, though, Austin, we

1704
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 2: teased a little something going into the break the upcoming

1705
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:44,840
Speaker 2: NFL Draft, as we just mentioned April twenty second to

1706
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 2: twenty fourth in Pittsburgh, which means we are just around

1707
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 2: a month away from the Bengals being on the clock

1708
01:31:51,960 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 2: at number ten. Now, I don't think this prospect is

1709
01:31:55,920 --> 01:32:00,880
Speaker 2: on the clock at number ten for the Bengals day two,

1710
01:32:01,680 --> 01:32:06,439
Speaker 2: potentially a steal in Day three. Former UC linebacker Jake

1711
01:32:06,520 --> 01:32:11,200
Speaker 2: Golday spend some time with Kay Adams today talking about

1712
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,280
Speaker 2: a Top thirty visiting as up coming with the Cincinnati Bengals,

1713
01:32:14,400 --> 01:32:18,480
Speaker 2: and she was asking him basically like, why does Cincinnati

1714
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,800
Speaker 2: mean so much to you? Why would it be cool

1715
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:23,599
Speaker 2: for you to be a Cincinnati Bengal.

1716
01:32:23,680 --> 01:32:25,920
Speaker 31: I don't know, It's just I really haven't had too

1717
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 31: many conversations with the Bengals to be honest with you,

1718
01:32:28,240 --> 01:32:30,080
Speaker 31: but I would just I mean, I would be a

1719
01:32:30,120 --> 01:32:32,599
Speaker 31: blessing to go play everywhere, but I've kind of made

1720
01:32:32,600 --> 01:32:35,240
Speaker 31: a name for myself here in Cincinnati, so it would

1721
01:32:35,240 --> 01:32:38,400
Speaker 31: definitely be a cool opportunity to stay here in Cincinnati.

1722
01:32:38,439 --> 01:32:40,680
Speaker 2: I love it here. I love the people in Cincinnati.

1723
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,200
Speaker 31: But like I said, at the end of the day,

1724
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:43,840
Speaker 31: it's gonna be a blessing to go play anywhere, and

1725
01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:45,640
Speaker 31: I'm excited for any opportunity.

1726
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 2: I don't like this idea that they haven't a lot

1727
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,799
Speaker 2: of conversations with you. It sounds not like sounds pretty stupid.

1728
01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:53,120
Speaker 2: I have a visit set up. I have a visit

1729
01:32:53,240 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 2: set up, so they're getting me in the building. There

1730
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:01,360
Speaker 2: you go, Okay, Bengals need a linebackers. If they weren't

1731
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:02,600
Speaker 2: even going to have him in the building, that was

1732
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 2: going to be a different issue. Like had that cut

1733
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:08,080
Speaker 2: off at just like I haven't talked to him, and

1734
01:33:08,800 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 2: Jake Golda is right here in your backyard. He was

1735
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 2: on the Bruce Feldman freaklist, had an unbelievable year, tested

1736
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:20,240
Speaker 2: extremely well at the Combine. We know linebacker's a position

1737
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 2: of need. Can the Bengals Austin risk waiting to draft

1738
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,120
Speaker 2: or waiting to address linebacker until the second or third

1739
01:33:29,200 --> 01:33:30,479
Speaker 2: round of the draft, or do they have to do

1740
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:31,639
Speaker 2: something between now and then.

1741
01:33:33,320 --> 01:33:35,360
Speaker 3: I would like for them to do something between now

1742
01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 3: and then. I don't know that there's anyone left that's

1743
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 3: really going to change anything, So I don't know that

1744
01:33:42,040 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 3: it matters.

1745
01:33:42,720 --> 01:33:48,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's that's essentially part of the issue

1746
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 2: that's arrived, that has got us to this point is

1747
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:55,120
Speaker 2: that there's just not a lot of names still out there. Now,

1748
01:33:55,479 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 2: there are some names looking into kind of that next

1749
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 2: wave of free agency and obviously the draft, but some

1750
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 2: names here, Austin, let me know if these names do

1751
01:34:06,840 --> 01:34:13,120
Speaker 2: anything at all for you. Kalaias Campbell, he's gonna turned forty. Yeah,

1752
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:14,880
Speaker 2: I would say it's gonna have sacks last year. I

1753
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:17,479
Speaker 2: would take Kalaeis Campbell, but I don't think. I don't

1754
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:20,880
Speaker 2: know if he's all that interested in the Bengals. Would

1755
01:34:20,920 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 2: you be interested in a player like Klais Campbell? Also

1756
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 2: just for the development that absolutely they could provide to

1757
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:29,360
Speaker 2: a Shamar Stewart, not even I don't even know if

1758
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:33,080
Speaker 2: development on the field more as off the field. Yeah.

1759
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:40,519
Speaker 2: Joey Bosa, Yeah, take Joey Buffalo played fifteen games last year,

1760
01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:42,080
Speaker 2: five sacks in a rotation.

1761
01:34:42,240 --> 01:34:46,680
Speaker 3: He's he's been hurt a lot, so they don't want

1762
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:47,920
Speaker 3: to spend a ton of money on him.

1763
01:34:47,920 --> 01:34:51,000
Speaker 2: But the corner position we've we've talked a lot about

1764
01:34:51,240 --> 01:34:56,400
Speaker 2: the depth at corner Trayvon Diggs. Could that be a

1765
01:34:56,479 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 2: by low for you?

1766
01:34:57,840 --> 01:34:57,960
Speaker 5: Uh?

1767
01:34:58,240 --> 01:35:00,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess a by low. I mean he horrible,

1768
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:04,880
Speaker 3: probably have to be bought, very low, horrible. Cam Jordan

1769
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 3: of the Saints. Yeah, why not ten and a half

1770
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 3: sacks last year, same situation?

1771
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:16,240
Speaker 2: Uh, Jadeveon Clowney, Yes, you want waves and waves and

1772
01:35:16,320 --> 01:35:20,439
Speaker 2: waves of past rusher DJ Reader, Uh, okay, we'll have

1773
01:35:20,520 --> 01:35:28,439
Speaker 2: any problem with that. Bobby Wagner, Yeah, what about David

1774
01:35:28,439 --> 01:35:29,240
Speaker 2: and joku.

1775
01:35:30,680 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 11: H?

1776
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 2: I think you would be foolish not to so, even sure,

1777
01:35:35,600 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 2: he wants a lot of money, I say, but even

1778
01:35:37,479 --> 01:35:41,920
Speaker 2: in that, there are obviously still names here right and

1779
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 2: I think if you're looking at this Bengals team right now,

1780
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,840
Speaker 2: you say, yes, d ND is still in need, you

1781
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 2: would certainly say linebacker is still in need. There are

1782
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:55,000
Speaker 2: some that are going to say, now corner or safety

1783
01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:59,520
Speaker 2: is a position of need. Would you describe any offensive

1784
01:35:59,560 --> 01:36:03,080
Speaker 2: position as a position of need right now?

1785
01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 4: Yes?

1786
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:07,479
Speaker 2: Tight end because John Shearon our front from a his

1787
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,559
Speaker 2: E Sports actually kind of jumped into that as well.

1788
01:36:11,120 --> 01:36:14,600
Speaker 2: That offensive line. Yeah, that tight end is still a

1789
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:16,439
Speaker 2: position that this team has to look at.

1790
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:18,280
Speaker 28: Now.

1791
01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:21,840
Speaker 2: I know from a draft perspective, it is a tight

1792
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 2: end class. You could find some good value at tight end.

1793
01:36:25,520 --> 01:36:27,479
Speaker 2: Eric Hall is also returning to this team, so it

1794
01:36:27,520 --> 01:36:29,080
Speaker 2: would be a nice build in luxury if you had

1795
01:36:29,120 --> 01:36:31,639
Speaker 2: a tight end and that Eric Hall reaches the potential

1796
01:36:31,680 --> 01:36:34,280
Speaker 2: that a lot of people see him reaching. I like

1797
01:36:34,479 --> 01:36:37,439
Speaker 2: Eric All, but he's about as reliable as Hunter Green,

1798
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 2: which is fair. And we mentioned last week eric All

1799
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,360
Speaker 2: kind of said okay, like James Rapine said the same

1800
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 2: thing on Twitter and Eric All responded to that and

1801
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:48,400
Speaker 2: good cope. Eric All proves everybody wrong. Cool, but you

1802
01:36:48,520 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 2: can't operate if you're the Bengals by just him saying

1803
01:36:51,920 --> 01:36:52,679
Speaker 2: he's going to be fine.

1804
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:57,280
Speaker 3: And also is a guy like him after those knee surgeries,

1805
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:03,040
Speaker 3: even if he's a service player, is he enough?

1806
01:37:03,800 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 2: Correct? You can't at this point, you know, I asked

1807
01:37:10,200 --> 01:37:12,200
Speaker 2: earlier on the Reds, what's a reason that you can

1808
01:37:12,360 --> 01:37:15,880
Speaker 2: hope that the Reds get this turned around? Like you

1809
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,280
Speaker 2: can't operate anymore in the sense for the Bengals and

1810
01:37:18,400 --> 01:37:20,080
Speaker 2: just say, well, we hope that Joe buris, that Joe

1811
01:37:20,120 --> 01:37:22,920
Speaker 2: Burrow stays healthy and the receivers around him continue to

1812
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:28,600
Speaker 2: produce like you can't hope in that sense anymore. You

1813
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:33,160
Speaker 2: gotta play defense. You got to add quality players on

1814
01:37:33,240 --> 01:37:35,559
Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. You have to create

1815
01:37:35,680 --> 01:37:38,960
Speaker 2: more depth on the offensive side of the ball, like

1816
01:37:39,320 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 2: a There are just a lot of things that still

1817
01:37:42,439 --> 01:37:47,560
Speaker 2: need to be addressed by this Cincinnati Bengals organization, and

1818
01:37:47,640 --> 01:37:49,840
Speaker 2: as we close in on almost a month now out

1819
01:37:49,880 --> 01:37:53,120
Speaker 2: from the draft, it still feels like this team has

1820
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:56,960
Speaker 2: a ton that they have to accomplish before the draft arrives.

1821
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:01,599
Speaker 2: We'll see what that looks like as we go. We'll

1822
01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: dive into a mock draft Monday. In just a few

1823
01:38:04,479 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 2: moments before that, Let's grab a phone caller too. Brian

1824
01:38:08,680 --> 01:38:09,559
Speaker 2: is calling in. What's up?

1825
01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:12,200
Speaker 11: Brian, Hey, how are.

1826
01:38:12,120 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 7: You guys going today?

1827
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:13,160
Speaker 5: Good?

1828
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:13,560
Speaker 2: Thank you?

1829
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 9: Thank you?

1830
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:15,360
Speaker 31: Good?

1831
01:38:15,600 --> 01:38:18,200
Speaker 7: Hey, I was calling. I just want to uh call

1832
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 7: about that Talkbacker has something to sell thee to say

1833
01:38:20,400 --> 01:38:20,880
Speaker 7: about Mike.

1834
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 11: I really don't appreciate that. I enjoy Mike's calls and

1835
01:38:25,120 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 11: I think, uh, he had a lot of values.

1836
01:38:27,120 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 7: To the show and I just think if he's got

1837
01:38:29,320 --> 01:38:31,240
Speaker 7: something to say, he can call and talk to you

1838
01:38:31,360 --> 01:38:33,799
Speaker 7: guys like you know a person.

1839
01:38:34,200 --> 01:38:35,600
Speaker 11: Yeah, I really don't appreciate that.

1840
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 2: It's always been something Brian. I appreciate the phone call.

1841
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 2: Thank you, Austin. We've already been very clear in this situation.

1842
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:43,360
Speaker 2: If if you are unhappy about someone that calls or

1843
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:46,240
Speaker 2: talk like you have the ability to call in as well. Yeah,

1844
01:38:46,320 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 2: and we take those phone calls as well, also have

1845
01:38:49,760 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 2: the ability to uh to leave a talk back. That's

1846
01:38:51,960 --> 01:38:55,080
Speaker 2: fine too, correct. Not everybody is everybody's cup of tea.

1847
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 2: You know about that. There are a lot of people

1848
01:38:57,560 --> 01:38:59,320
Speaker 2: you mean you and usually pick somebody there.

1849
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 4: That's true.

1850
01:39:00,680 --> 01:39:02,160
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who feel just like

1851
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 3: Brian and love Mike. There are a lot of people

1852
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:06,960
Speaker 3: who do not like Mike. That's okay, that's part of it.

1853
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:09,960
Speaker 3: There are a lot of people who like you that

1854
01:39:10,080 --> 01:39:14,000
Speaker 3: don't like me. That's that's part of it. It's okay.

1855
01:39:14,760 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 2: Everybody's allowed to have an opinion. AYMN, what's up? JT,

1856
01:39:19,880 --> 01:39:20,920
Speaker 2: Hey I like you both?

1857
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:21,519
Speaker 11: Is that okay?

1858
01:39:21,720 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely? I don't know, you got to pick one, pick

1859
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:25,160
Speaker 2: one of us.

1860
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:30,080
Speaker 7: I don't leaning towards Audie, but you know, funny you.

1861
01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 2: Know slash thanks JJ.

1862
01:39:33,400 --> 01:39:39,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know the blister thing blisters on my middle

1863
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 7: finger during my senior year of high school. It pretty

1864
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 7: much wiped out my entire uh senior year of high

1865
01:39:48,240 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 7: school baseball. And I sort of feel like when people

1866
01:39:52,840 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 7: hear the word like blister, it's kind of like turf

1867
01:39:55,600 --> 01:39:58,000
Speaker 7: toe in a way. It's like, Oh, what's the matter, Bud?

1868
01:39:58,120 --> 01:40:00,879
Speaker 7: You did you stub your toe a little piece.

1869
01:40:00,640 --> 01:40:02,040
Speaker 4: Of terf or does it hurt that bad?

1870
01:40:02,640 --> 01:40:02,680
Speaker 28: Like?

1871
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:07,960
Speaker 7: No, man, Like, I went to this pitching camp at

1872
01:40:08,000 --> 01:40:10,240
Speaker 7: a local university and they were teaching me how to

1873
01:40:10,360 --> 01:40:14,160
Speaker 7: throw a breaking ball and a slider and all.

1874
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 11: Of those pitches.

1875
01:40:15,880 --> 01:40:18,840
Speaker 7: They required to spin that ball and you put the

1876
01:40:18,920 --> 01:40:21,560
Speaker 7: seams of the ball right in the middle of like

1877
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:24,519
Speaker 7: between your the last knuckle and your middle finger.

1878
01:40:24,720 --> 01:40:26,240
Speaker 11: And you had to have that grip.

1879
01:40:26,840 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 7: So so throwing the ball, throwing the ball, about the

1880
01:40:31,000 --> 01:40:33,840
Speaker 7: third or fourth start that I had in high school,

1881
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:37,240
Speaker 7: I know this. You know, it got a little bit puffy.

1882
01:40:37,640 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 7: I'm like, yeah, you know what, it's a bliss. I

1883
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,640
Speaker 7: didn't tell the coach or anything, and so I just

1884
01:40:41,720 --> 01:40:44,439
Speaker 7: went on and on, and by about like the fourth inning,

1885
01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,000
Speaker 7: I looked down in my glove or i'm sorry, my

1886
01:40:48,080 --> 01:40:51,080
Speaker 7: hand and it was just like a bloody, stinking mess.

1887
01:40:51,920 --> 01:40:55,680
Speaker 7: And you know, I was called off the mound, and

1888
01:40:56,360 --> 01:40:58,640
Speaker 7: you know, like, okay, just just give it a like

1889
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,320
Speaker 7: a week or two. But the thing is, man, it

1890
01:41:01,479 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 7: was like an open crater. Like my my finger was throbbing,

1891
01:41:05,479 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 7: Like I remember trying to sleep at.

1892
01:41:07,000 --> 01:41:09,679
Speaker 4: Night and my mom was getting like as for azel.

1893
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 7: My finger looked like ET's middle finger and it was

1894
01:41:13,560 --> 01:41:17,000
Speaker 7: just disgusting. But it was kind of like using. You know,

1895
01:41:17,400 --> 01:41:20,439
Speaker 7: I don't want to get too graphic with it, but anyway,

1896
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:23,920
Speaker 7: when when your skin heels from that blister, it's that

1897
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 7: kind of soft skin that you know when you want

1898
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:29,800
Speaker 7: to scam falls off. You know, it's like kind of

1899
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 7: like in between skin that you can't like do things

1900
01:41:33,640 --> 01:41:37,360
Speaker 7: that you're you're normally used to doing. So anyway, I'm

1901
01:41:37,400 --> 01:41:40,759
Speaker 7: missing like three or four weeks of high school baseball,

1902
01:41:40,840 --> 01:41:43,720
Speaker 7: which you know back then that was like an eternity

1903
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:47,120
Speaker 7: for me. And I came back to early because said okay, okay,

1904
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:50,920
Speaker 7: And so like the second batter that I faced, I

1905
01:41:51,080 --> 01:41:52,599
Speaker 7: ripped all that skin off again.

1906
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 13: I didn't tell the coach.

1907
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:55,920
Speaker 7: I was like, there's no way I'm gonna let a

1908
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 7: little blister like ruin my season. I get pitching and

1909
01:41:59,439 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 7: pitching and then after like four innings, my finger was

1910
01:42:03,280 --> 01:42:05,479
Speaker 7: so bloody and disgusting that that was the end of

1911
01:42:05,640 --> 01:42:07,360
Speaker 7: my high school pitching career.

1912
01:42:07,880 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 11: Yeah.

1913
01:42:08,160 --> 01:42:10,439
Speaker 7: So I'm just trying to say, like, blisters are a

1914
01:42:10,479 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 7: big sicken deal. It hurts more than anything because you

1915
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:16,040
Speaker 7: know when it's trying to rehab from that, like you

1916
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 7: feel great, your body feels great, and you look at

1917
01:42:18,400 --> 01:42:20,160
Speaker 7: this one little thing on your finger, like this is

1918
01:42:20,240 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 7: what's prohibiting me from playing like the support that I love.

1919
01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:25,559
Speaker 4: It's tough, dude. So that's what I'm saying.

1920
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,519
Speaker 2: Ben, appreciate you, Jat, thank you. Yeah. The blister thing

1921
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:31,000
Speaker 2: is it's frustrating in many ways awesome, but again I

1922
01:42:31,120 --> 01:42:35,839
Speaker 2: think it's it's caused. At least it does. It's caused

1923
01:42:35,880 --> 01:42:40,439
Speaker 2: because you just have that repetition of your finger on

1924
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:42,479
Speaker 2: the ball and on the seams and all the friction

1925
01:42:42,640 --> 01:42:46,639
Speaker 2: that's being created. And I don't think the average baseball

1926
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:50,080
Speaker 2: fan understands like how much pressure each part of the

1927
01:42:50,160 --> 01:42:52,679
Speaker 2: finger is pushing on the baseball and on the seams

1928
01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:56,040
Speaker 2: based on each pitch. And you you you lengthen that

1929
01:42:56,080 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 2: out over time and overstarts and over bullpen sessions, and

1930
01:42:59,320 --> 01:43:03,120
Speaker 2: it does it it becomes a very nagging injury that

1931
01:43:04,200 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 2: creates problems down the road and runs the risk of

1932
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,320
Speaker 2: re injury, which is obviously something Nickelodolo is going through.

1933
01:43:10,920 --> 01:43:12,840
Speaker 2: What I'm most interested in all of this, Austin, I

1934
01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:14,479
Speaker 2: know we're gonna get back to mock Draft Monday here

1935
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:18,200
Speaker 2: in a moment, are the Reds or do the Reds

1936
01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:21,960
Speaker 2: approach this much more cautiously with it being the start

1937
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:26,760
Speaker 2: of the season then they would, let's say, stretch run

1938
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:29,240
Speaker 2: or middle of the season. Do you have to approach

1939
01:43:29,280 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 2: this differently so it doesn't become an issue that you're

1940
01:43:32,439 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 2: dealing with the whole season For Nickelodolo, I don't know

1941
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:37,719
Speaker 2: that it changes. I don't know that it matters.

1942
01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:41,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, for a what it feels like a chronic issue

1943
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:43,960
Speaker 3: or for repeated injury, it's just fix it.

1944
01:43:44,160 --> 01:43:48,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, we'll find out. Once we hear anything else

1945
01:43:48,520 --> 01:43:51,360
Speaker 2: about Nickelodolo, we will will pass that along when we

1946
01:43:51,520 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 2: get back. Let's partake in a little mock draft Monday,

1976
01:45:31,840 --> 01:45:36,720
Speaker 1: It's time for mock Draft Monday on CINCY three sixty.

1977
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:42,200
Speaker 2: Welcome back since E three to sixty, ESPN fifteen thirty

1978
01:45:42,840 --> 01:45:46,880
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Sports Station. Now, what I think makes this mock

1979
01:45:47,000 --> 01:45:49,560
Speaker 2: draft conversation interesting as we now gear up kind of

1980
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:53,160
Speaker 2: a month away from the actual draft in Pittsburgh, Austin,

1981
01:45:53,280 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 2: is what happens if there is a rise in a

1982
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:00,280
Speaker 2: player like Ty Simpson who's all of a sudden getting

1983
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:02,800
Speaker 2: a lot of draft buzzed. Dan Orlofsky said that he's

1984
01:46:02,840 --> 01:46:05,000
Speaker 2: the top quarterback in his opinion in the draft. Mike

1985
01:46:05,040 --> 01:46:08,639
Speaker 2: Tannebaum said that he can attest to what dan Orlofsky

1986
01:46:08,680 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 2: says and the other gms around the League feel the

1987
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:14,439
Speaker 2: same thing, So that could obviously throw a wrench in

1988
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:20,160
Speaker 2: all of this. Now, I went with USA Today's mock

1989
01:46:20,280 --> 01:46:21,040
Speaker 2: draft today.

1990
01:46:22,840 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 3: As my By the way, we are exactly one month away,

1991
01:46:26,040 --> 01:46:28,479
Speaker 3: exactly one month away from the NFL Draft.

1992
01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:35,680
Speaker 2: USA Today. Number one, Fernando Mendoza. No surprise there. Number two, Oh,

1993
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:37,720
Speaker 2: let me put a name on it. You're right, Uh,

1994
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:42,120
Speaker 2: this would be Michael Middlehurst Schwartz. Wow, we have not

1995
01:46:42,320 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 2: used his mock draft before.

1996
01:46:43,720 --> 01:46:48,120
Speaker 3: Michael Middlehurst Schwartz. That's right, Okay, I like this guy already.

1997
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 2: USA Today. Okay, Middlehurst, Fernando Mendoza, Rvel Reese to the

1998
01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 2: Jets number three. The Arizona Cardinals take David Bailey. Tennessee

1999
01:46:59,120 --> 01:47:02,760
Speaker 2: Titans takes styles makes sense to me. The New York

2000
01:47:02,880 --> 01:47:08,320
Speaker 2: Football Giants select Jeremiah Love, okay. The Cleveland Browns at

2001
01:47:08,400 --> 01:47:13,160
Speaker 2: number six take offensive tackle Monroe Freeling number seven, The

2002
01:47:13,320 --> 01:47:17,719
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders take Caleb Downs, the Saints grab Carnell Tate,

2003
01:47:18,479 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 2: and the Kansas City Chiefs go get Ruben Baine junior

2004
01:47:23,479 --> 01:47:29,280
Speaker 2: junior at number ten. That leaves Francis Mawinoa right, and

2005
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 2: the Corners mansor Delaney.

2006
01:47:32,200 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 3: What about Mkay Lemon, McKay Lemon, what about that guard

2007
01:47:35,439 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 3: from Penn State? What about the guard? What about Spencer Fano? Okay,

2008
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 3: but what about the tight end Kenyon Sadiq?

2009
01:47:42,840 --> 01:47:46,120
Speaker 2: But he's there to our friend, could be a friend

2010
01:47:46,160 --> 01:47:49,720
Speaker 2: we don't know yet. Michael Middlehurst Schwartz. He has the

2011
01:47:49,760 --> 01:47:54,879
Speaker 2: Bengals at number ten, selecting Dylan Thieneman, oh the safety

2012
01:47:55,880 --> 01:47:58,600
Speaker 2: from Morgan. He says, even with the moves that the

2013
01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:02,640
Speaker 2: Bengals have made at safety downs, has still been his

2014
01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 2: choice for Cincinnati, and he would be a no brainer

2015
01:48:05,400 --> 01:48:08,280
Speaker 2: for a defense that still could lack someone to take charge.

2016
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:11,360
Speaker 2: But could the Bengals simply look to another safety for

2017
01:48:11,400 --> 01:48:15,439
Speaker 2: their first choice. While Feneman seems like a stretch here

2018
01:48:15,520 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 2: to many to turn deep shots with a rangy and

2019
01:48:18,320 --> 01:48:22,439
Speaker 2: its instinctive coverage, aase would go a long way toward

2020
01:48:22,560 --> 01:48:25,960
Speaker 2: curing several of this unit's most pressing ills.

2021
01:48:26,400 --> 01:48:28,640
Speaker 3: It makes me think and reading that description, what we

2022
01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 3: talked about right after the Bengals had signed Brian Cook

2023
01:48:33,439 --> 01:48:36,160
Speaker 3: is that the kind of untapped part of his game

2024
01:48:36,240 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 3: that we saw at you See that we didn't see

2025
01:48:38,320 --> 01:48:41,360
Speaker 3: in Kansas City was his ability to come down into

2026
01:48:41,360 --> 01:48:43,639
Speaker 3: the box was to be a Blitzer was to put

2027
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 3: some pressure on quarterbacks, was to you know, deal with

2028
01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:51,280
Speaker 3: running backs and just in general play downhill from that

2029
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:54,880
Speaker 3: part sure of the field that you know, if you're

2030
01:48:54,880 --> 01:48:58,559
Speaker 3: gonna use somebody in that situation, would create a space

2031
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:03,040
Speaker 3: for somebody who is as he described, rangy and instinctive

2032
01:49:03,160 --> 01:49:07,839
Speaker 3: coverage ace to be on the back end. Dylan Caenaman

2033
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:11,719
Speaker 3: has skyrocketed over the course of the last two months.

2034
01:49:12,080 --> 01:49:15,439
Speaker 3: He was a guy that many mocked the Bengals taking

2035
01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 3: in round number two. I remember having a conversation with

2036
01:49:19,360 --> 01:49:22,519
Speaker 3: Joe Goodberry about a month ago down the dial on

2037
01:49:22,720 --> 01:49:25,679
Speaker 3: seven hundred WLW, and I asked him about some prospects

2038
01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 3: that he thinks people are going to start finding out about.

2039
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:30,639
Speaker 3: And he said, Dylan Thenaman will eventually be a first

2040
01:49:30,720 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 3: round pick. Didn't say he'd be a top ten pick,

2041
01:49:34,600 --> 01:49:37,680
Speaker 3: but more and more continues to come out about him.

2042
01:49:38,080 --> 01:49:40,640
Speaker 2: And this kind of is this transition is because we

2043
01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:42,920
Speaker 2: are a month out to that time where now you

2044
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,439
Speaker 2: start to see some risers, you start to see some followers,

2045
01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:48,400
Speaker 2: you start to see some buzz around these players. We

2046
01:49:48,479 --> 01:49:53,040
Speaker 2: talked already today Mansord Delaney at LSU's pro To today

2047
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:55,760
Speaker 2: clocked in in a sub four to four. So he

2048
01:49:55,840 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 2: did himself some favors this afternoon as well. But I

2049
01:49:59,200 --> 01:50:02,040
Speaker 2: went into yes, last week we did the uh uh,

2050
01:50:02,080 --> 01:50:05,040
Speaker 2: the PFF dot com mock draft, we did live. We

2051
01:50:05,120 --> 01:50:07,280
Speaker 2: did it live. People got big mad about that. Well,

2052
01:50:07,320 --> 01:50:10,400
Speaker 2: I threw it in today and I just for the

2053
01:50:10,520 --> 01:50:14,799
Speaker 2: sake of the conversation, had the Browns taking Ty Simpson

2054
01:50:14,840 --> 01:50:19,320
Speaker 2: at number six. Oh okay, didn't really change much for

2055
01:50:19,400 --> 01:50:25,920
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah, because Reese Bailey, Maui, Noah Baine,

2056
01:50:26,280 --> 01:50:29,120
Speaker 2: Downs and Sunny Styles were still already off the clock,

2057
01:50:29,200 --> 01:50:32,160
Speaker 2: off the board, which even in that case would lead

2058
01:50:32,240 --> 01:50:36,360
Speaker 2: to mansor Delayane uh, Carnell Tate, Dilan.

2059
01:50:36,200 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 3: Gotta gotta figure out. You got to pick one. Delaney,

2060
01:50:40,200 --> 01:50:44,200
Speaker 3: it's pronounced delaane. But yeah, you what you want to say? Yeah,

2061
01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:47,679
Speaker 3: because you just used two different words. What you can't

2062
01:50:47,760 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 3: Sincy three sixty for Tony Pike.

2063
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 9: You can't.

2064
01:50:51,880 --> 01:50:54,840
Speaker 3: I would like for you just to for clarification to

2065
01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 3: our listeners, for our listeners to maybe pick.

2066
01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:02,840
Speaker 2: One even with all of that. Delaney, Tate, Theeneman, fanan

2067
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:08,559
Speaker 2: Il Freeling, Kenyon, Sadik mackay Lemon, Yeah, Jermad McCoy, they'd

2068
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:13,639
Speaker 2: all still be there now. In this particular mock draft,

2069
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,960
Speaker 2: the Browns take the pick at number six, and Baine,

2070
01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:22,040
Speaker 2: Downs and Styles are still on the board. Now they

2071
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 2: go in the next three picks. But is there a

2072
01:51:26,640 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 2: player in this draft that if they fall past number five,

2073
01:51:32,400 --> 01:51:35,120
Speaker 2: even if it's not in the Bengals nature, that you

2074
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,920
Speaker 2: would be willing to trade up to get. If I

2075
01:51:37,960 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 2: said it's just one player, which player out of the top,

2076
01:51:41,479 --> 01:51:43,760
Speaker 2: would you say, yes, I'm running to the podium to

2077
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:46,080
Speaker 2: trade up if that player is available past number five

2078
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,360
Speaker 2: or is there one? I don't know if there is one.

2079
01:51:51,840 --> 01:51:54,280
Speaker 3: If there is, just for like in terms of what

2080
01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 3: makes sense for the Bengals, I would probably say Ruben.

2081
01:51:57,520 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 2: Bang Okay, I thought you. I thought maybe a Sunny Styles. Yeah,

2082
01:52:04,280 --> 01:52:06,600
Speaker 2: but I just don't know that they're going to do

2083
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:10,160
Speaker 2: that again. Yeah, I think he would be worth it, right,

2084
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 2: I guess that. I guess that's that would be more

2085
01:52:12,960 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 2: so it was worth it to you. I think maybe

2086
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,320
Speaker 2: Bannon Styles would be worth it. Yeah, because the move

2087
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:21,280
Speaker 2: they made with Cook, even if Downs was was in

2088
01:52:21,439 --> 01:52:23,040
Speaker 2: that mold. I think he has to be there at

2089
01:52:23,080 --> 01:52:25,720
Speaker 2: ten to pull the trigger. I don't think you don't

2090
01:52:25,800 --> 01:52:27,680
Speaker 2: trade up. I don't think they're going even if he

2091
01:52:27,760 --> 01:52:28,920
Speaker 2: was there, you don't think they take him.

2092
01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:32,320
Speaker 3: No, because I think they're stupid. I don't I don't

2093
01:52:32,439 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 3: trust him at all. I think they're going to take

2094
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:36,439
Speaker 3: a corner back. Okay, They're either going to take a

2095
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:38,080
Speaker 3: corner and they're going to reach on one of those

2096
01:52:38,120 --> 01:52:41,719
Speaker 3: d tackles. That's what I seriously think is going to happen.

2097
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:47,000
Speaker 3: And you know, I was tweeted with Joe Goodberry earlier

2098
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:50,759
Speaker 3: talking about the fact that they have put themselves behind

2099
01:52:50,800 --> 01:52:53,599
Speaker 3: the eight ball so much means that once again they're

2100
01:52:53,640 --> 01:52:56,200
Speaker 3: going to have to nail the twenty twenty six draft.

2101
01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:59,080
Speaker 3: They're going to have to hit on positions of need

2102
01:52:59,240 --> 01:53:01,880
Speaker 3: because they didn't get them in free agency, which means

2103
01:53:01,920 --> 01:53:05,080
Speaker 3: they're taking best player available off their board so that

2104
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 3: they can get the best player availab or they can

2105
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:08,479
Speaker 3: get the.

2106
01:53:08,720 --> 01:53:09,519
Speaker 2: Position of need.

2107
01:53:10,560 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 3: And also because if you look around tight end, swing tackle, interior,

2108
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 3: offensive line, depth, wide receiver, three backup safety, defensive end, linebacker,

2109
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:31,479
Speaker 3: defensive tackle, just that's nine spots right there that they

2110
01:53:31,640 --> 01:53:35,200
Speaker 3: need guys in those positions that need to get either

2111
01:53:35,479 --> 01:53:38,599
Speaker 3: for depth or backfill or whatever, that's nine.

2112
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:40,080
Speaker 2: They have eight picks.

2113
01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:44,479
Speaker 3: They're going to, I think, have to trade back at

2114
01:53:44,560 --> 01:53:49,559
Speaker 3: some point, and honestly, the first one we just did

2115
01:53:49,640 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 3: there with Middlehurst Schwartz ya today maybe that's a situation

2116
01:53:56,960 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 3: where they trade back because Enaman Malinoa, Delaye, Fanu McCoy,

2117
01:54:07,840 --> 01:54:12,040
Speaker 3: CJ Allen, Caden Proctor all still on the board.

2118
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:13,040
Speaker 4: TJ.

2119
01:54:13,240 --> 01:54:15,880
Speaker 3: Parker, I think that's a guy who fits what the

2120
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:18,760
Speaker 3: Bengals want to do. I wouldn't be surprised if they

2121
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:19,479
Speaker 3: reached for TJ.

2122
01:54:19,680 --> 01:54:22,439
Speaker 2: Parkers that word, but that word freaks me out now

2123
01:54:22,479 --> 01:54:26,519
Speaker 2: a month away, the word reach because you mentioned earlier

2124
01:54:26,680 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 2: interior defensive line. According to Pro Football Focus today they're

2125
01:54:30,560 --> 01:54:34,920
Speaker 2: updated rankings. Cayden McDonald is their best available interior defensive

2126
01:54:34,960 --> 01:54:38,760
Speaker 2: lineman at number twenty eight, Caleb Banks thirty two, Peter

2127
01:54:38,800 --> 01:54:41,320
Speaker 2: Woods thirty three. Caleb Banks has a broken foot. I

2128
01:54:41,400 --> 01:54:46,760
Speaker 2: am terrified that they reach for interior defensive line.

2129
01:54:46,760 --> 01:54:49,160
Speaker 3: It's been my guests all along, and then I switched

2130
01:54:49,200 --> 01:54:54,440
Speaker 3: it to cornerback just last week. Yeah, I still think

2131
01:54:54,440 --> 01:54:57,320
Speaker 3: it's one of those two positions. But I also think

2132
01:54:57,720 --> 01:55:01,200
Speaker 3: if there is a year to trade back, it would

2133
01:55:01,240 --> 01:55:06,080
Speaker 3: be in this draft. Now either first or the second round.

2134
01:55:06,360 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 3: Doesn't have to be both, but I think one of

2135
01:55:09,600 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 3: those two rounds it makes a lot of sense for

2136
01:55:11,560 --> 01:55:14,760
Speaker 3: them to trade back because of number one, the amount

2137
01:55:14,800 --> 01:55:18,240
Speaker 3: of defensive ends, the amount of tight ends, and the

2138
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:20,440
Speaker 3: amount of stuff that you need to fill out your

2139
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:25,600
Speaker 3: roster with. And again, they have a lot of money

2140
01:55:25,640 --> 01:55:29,520
Speaker 3: that they haven't spent. That okay, if you acquire two

2141
01:55:29,600 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 3: more picks and I think it's only four in the

2142
01:55:32,240 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 3: top one eighty, if you can get two more in

2143
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:38,520
Speaker 3: the top one eighty, and just how financially all that

2144
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:40,760
Speaker 3: that might work out, I don't know.

2145
01:55:40,800 --> 01:55:42,280
Speaker 2: I just think that makes a lot of sense. I

2146
01:55:42,360 --> 01:55:44,480
Speaker 2: just don't know if they'll do it. I don't think

2147
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:49,640
Speaker 2: I have ever publicly been open to trading back, except

2148
01:55:50,400 --> 01:55:56,360
Speaker 2: except if the scenario unfolds in a month where Reese

2149
01:55:57,160 --> 01:56:01,600
Speaker 2: Bailey Bane downs and I don't even throw Jeremiah Love

2150
01:56:01,680 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 2: because if for some reason Jeremiah Loves there at ten,

2151
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:06,280
Speaker 2: then you start thinking about the Jamiir Gibbs, when the

2152
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,520
Speaker 2: Lions already seemed to have their running back room filled

2153
01:56:08,520 --> 01:56:12,080
Speaker 2: out and they took Gibbs. Nonetheless, if none of those

2154
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:15,280
Speaker 2: players are there, which most mock drafts now Austin Reese,

2155
01:56:15,400 --> 01:56:18,400
Speaker 2: love Bailey baying Down styles are all off the board.

2156
01:56:18,400 --> 01:56:23,520
Speaker 2: Before number ten, I would listen. I would listen to

2157
01:56:23,640 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 2: the idea of trading back. I almost think I would

2158
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:31,200
Speaker 2: listen to that more so than maybe taking man sword Delaney.

2159
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:39,600
Speaker 2: Maybe it's a beautiful callback. Maybe I think this is

2160
01:56:39,680 --> 01:56:42,240
Speaker 2: the year it makes the most sense. Yes, and I've

2161
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:45,560
Speaker 2: never been one for trading back, but this year I

2162
01:56:45,560 --> 01:56:47,840
Speaker 2: could be persuaded into just get the feeling.

2163
01:56:47,880 --> 01:56:50,600
Speaker 3: They love one of those deep tackles, stop, they love

2164
01:56:50,640 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 3: one of those corners.

2165
01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:53,600
Speaker 2: Stop. I think even TJ.

2166
01:56:53,800 --> 01:56:57,640
Speaker 3: Parker might be like that linebacker mix that they might

2167
01:56:57,720 --> 01:56:59,720
Speaker 3: be looking for, which I Don'm not not saying I

2168
01:56:59,760 --> 01:57:02,800
Speaker 3: agree with that. I'm just saying, you know, knowing how

2169
01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:05,320
Speaker 3: this dude works. And by this dude, I mean that

2170
01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:09,360
Speaker 3: dude a combination dis dude human that is Mike Brown

2171
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:12,520
Speaker 3: and Duke Tobin and whatever you would want to call

2172
01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 3: that person.

2173
01:57:15,720 --> 01:57:19,320
Speaker 2: I just man, I'm getting nervous, and they need they

2174
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:21,280
Speaker 2: need picks. I'm getting nervous already.

2175
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:24,640
Speaker 3: We do have a little a little bit more bearcat news.

2176
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:27,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if you saw this. As far as

2177
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 3: the NFL is concerned. The Patriots are signing former Bearcat

2178
01:57:30,800 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 3: James Hudson to a one year deal. He was with

2179
01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:37,000
Speaker 3: the Giants previously, Brown's before that, and Patriots need some

2180
01:57:37,080 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 3: ol depth, so they got got some with James Hudson.

2181
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:43,240
Speaker 2: All right, well done, We'll put a ball on the

2182
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 2: rest of what we have when we come back quickly,

2183
01:57:45,200 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 2: and then we'll welcome in Mowagar for quick hits. It

Speaker 4: The biggest Reds offseason acquisition is a familiar face. A

2190
01:58:18,720 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 4: Uganio Suarez has returned to Cincinnati, joining the Reds this

2191
01:58:22,360 --> 01:58:25,560
Speaker 4: winter after hitting forty nine home runs last season with

2192

2200
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:55,040
Speaker 1: You found Cincinnati's ESPN fifteen thirty.

2201
01:59:08,120 --> 01:59:13,880
Speaker 2: Welcome back since E three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

2202
01:59:13,920 --> 01:59:21,840
Speaker 2: Sports Station. Now I'm looking at this from a couple

2203
01:59:21,880 --> 01:59:24,800
Speaker 2: of minutes ago with Ian Rappaport. Did you see what

2204
01:59:24,920 --> 01:59:29,400
Speaker 2: he reported with Travis Kelce? I did three year fifty

2205
01:59:29,440 --> 01:59:33,840
Speaker 2: four million dollar deal can obviously be worth up to

2206
01:59:33,920 --> 01:59:37,120
Speaker 2: fifty seven million dollars. Year one is a twelve million

2207
01:59:37,160 --> 01:59:40,720
Speaker 2: dollar deal plus three million incentives. This is obviously his

2208
01:59:40,840 --> 01:59:42,600
Speaker 2: last deal in the NFL. Do you think he makes

2209
01:59:42,640 --> 01:59:46,640
Speaker 2: it all three No. I kind of felt like it

2210
01:59:46,760 --> 01:59:47,520
Speaker 2: was just this year.

2211
01:59:48,360 --> 01:59:52,920
Speaker 3: I assumed when reading that that it was like those

2212
01:59:52,960 --> 01:59:54,080
Speaker 3: are two void years.

2213
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:57,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't know though, Yeah, I would have to

2214
01:59:57,480 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 2: get more of the details. But I was just because

2215
02:00:00,600 --> 02:00:03,400
Speaker 2: all along, I just thought, yeah, one year, he's gonna

2216
02:00:03,400 --> 02:00:05,280
Speaker 2: give it one more run. I was a little interested

2217
02:00:05,320 --> 02:00:07,040
Speaker 2: in the three year, fifty four million dollar number.

2218
02:00:07,320 --> 02:00:11,720
Speaker 3: Year one is twelve million with three million in incentives,

2219
02:00:13,600 --> 02:00:15,640
Speaker 3: which makes the rest of it seem kind of strange.

2220
02:00:15,760 --> 02:00:15,960
Speaker 2: Yeah.

2221
02:00:16,720 --> 02:00:19,560
Speaker 3: Interesting, But if maybe there's more than a year left

2222
02:00:19,600 --> 02:00:23,080
Speaker 3: for Travis Kelson, I mean, I guess next year they

2223
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:26,920
Speaker 3: expect the cap to go up, and the year after that.

2224
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 3: I mean, you can always just restructure Mahomes's deal. So

2225
02:00:32,320 --> 02:00:34,920
Speaker 3: I guess they can basically look at it and be like, hey, Travis,

2226
02:00:34,960 --> 02:00:37,760
Speaker 3: if you ever want a seat at the table, sure,

2227
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,600
Speaker 3: we're here. Yeah, but I would assume, and I have

2228
02:00:40,760 --> 02:00:43,280
Speaker 3: not looked, and I haven't seen it anywhere, I would

2229
02:00:43,280 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 3: assume that twenty seven and twenty eight are void years.

2230
02:00:47,600 --> 02:00:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, makes sense. Moegar, not a void year coming up

2231
02:00:52,280 --> 02:00:55,680
Speaker 2: for Mowegar, big year coming up for the Eggman, who's

2232
02:00:55,760 --> 02:00:59,120
Speaker 2: back on the Moweger Show. He joins us next for

2233
02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:01,880
Speaker 2: Quick Hits fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Speaker 1: Now, it's time for a quick hits on Tony Pikes.

2235
02:01:07,120 --> 02:01:10,960

2236
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,280
Speaker 4: for quick hitch. Hi everybody, Hello, what's going on?

2237
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:14,600
Speaker 20: Hey?

2238
02:01:14,680 --> 02:01:14,720
Speaker 5: Mo?

2239
02:01:14,840 --> 02:01:16,840
Speaker 4: How are you wonderful? How about you guys?

2240
02:01:16,880 --> 02:01:20,080
Speaker 2: It's great, Yeah, it's great. Snow, it's Opening day week.

2241
02:01:20,240 --> 02:01:22,200
Speaker 2: It is Opening Day week, Opening day.

2242
02:01:22,280 --> 02:01:24,440
Speaker 4: It's the one day year the three of us get

2243
02:01:24,480 --> 02:01:28,600
Speaker 4: a chance to be together on air. Optimism pouring out Thursday,

2244
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:32,400
Speaker 4: it's smoke, justice, excitement. I am optimistic and I'll tell

2245
02:01:32,400 --> 02:01:32,760
Speaker 4: you why.

2246
02:01:33,080 --> 02:01:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, you must have some blister experts you've been talking to.

2247
02:01:35,600 --> 02:01:39,000
Speaker 4: At three oh five. Okay, Uh, the Nickelodolo blister thing

2248
02:01:39,120 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 4: is a problem. Yeah, because it keeps happening. If something

2249
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,400
Speaker 4: only happens once, it's not a problem. If something keeps happening,

2250
02:01:45,480 --> 02:01:48,840
Speaker 4: it's a problem. Nickelodolo's blisters are now our problem. Yes,

2251
02:01:49,080 --> 02:01:50,440
Speaker 4: just like Hunter Green's other injuries.

2252
02:01:50,560 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 2: Do you think the blister injury gets handled differently going

2253
02:01:54,200 --> 02:01:56,440
Speaker 2: into a season? Then maybe it would in the middle

2254
02:01:56,520 --> 02:01:57,680
Speaker 2: or end of a season? Like do you have to

2255
02:01:57,760 --> 02:01:59,280
Speaker 2: be more cautious now? Do you have to keep them

2256
02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:00,000
Speaker 2: out a longer amount?

2257
02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:03,919
Speaker 4: I have no idea. I know nothing really about blisters

2258
02:02:03,960 --> 02:02:05,600
Speaker 4: and how you treat them and how you handle them

2259
02:02:05,800 --> 02:02:07,520
Speaker 4: and what the remedies are. I don't know. I just

2260
02:02:07,600 --> 02:02:08,440
Speaker 4: know they keep happening.

2261
02:02:08,520 --> 02:02:10,480
Speaker 2: How do you balance your excitement of what Matt McClain

2262
02:02:10,480 --> 02:02:13,720
Speaker 2: Marty Brenneman said today that the best spring he's ever seen.

2263
02:02:14,600 --> 02:02:17,360
Speaker 2: How do you balance that excitement versu maybe a little

2264
02:02:17,400 --> 02:02:19,640
Speaker 2: caution with what Andrew Abbot has turned in throughout the spring,

2265
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:23,480
Speaker 2: because so many people say you can't, you can't look

2266
02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:24,240
Speaker 2: into spring training.

2267
02:02:25,080 --> 02:02:29,360
Speaker 4: So for Andrew Abbott, what I wonder is we had

2268
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:32,720
Speaker 4: the dude on from ESPN like five weeks ago who said,

2269
02:02:33,440 --> 02:02:35,200
Speaker 4: you know, initially like the Reds, we're gonna have a

2270
02:02:35,240 --> 02:02:39,200
Speaker 4: bottom five rotation. And then he's like, ah, I misinterpreted

2271
02:02:39,280 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 4: my model, and it's like, isn't it your model? But

2272
02:02:43,120 --> 02:02:46,480
Speaker 4: one of his basic premises was Andrew Abbott in the

2273
02:02:46,560 --> 02:02:49,040
Speaker 4: second half of the season wasn't the same picture he

2274
02:02:49,240 --> 02:02:51,080
Speaker 4: was in the first half, And what he was in

2275
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:54,240
Speaker 4: the second half is maybe a little bit more reflective

2276
02:02:54,280 --> 02:02:56,640
Speaker 4: of what he's going to be this year. How much

2277
02:02:56,840 --> 02:03:01,320
Speaker 4: of his spring performances are evidence of that. I'm actually

2278
02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:04,360
Speaker 4: more bullish on this team offensively than I am bullish

2279
02:03:04,400 --> 02:03:05,200
Speaker 4: on this team's pitching.

2280
02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:07,960
Speaker 2: Okay, believe it or not. So from January of this

2281
02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,960
Speaker 2: year till now, the win total has gone from eighty

2282
02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 2: three and a half to eighty and a half.

2283
02:03:12,080 --> 02:03:12,560
Speaker 4: It has sunk.

2284
02:03:12,640 --> 02:03:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not just in one publication. We've talked

2285
02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:18,360
Speaker 2: about this earlier. There's not a lot of places out

2286
02:03:18,400 --> 02:03:19,960
Speaker 2: there that view this as a team that's going to

2287
02:03:20,000 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 2: get over five hundred.

2288
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:21,880
Speaker 7: Do you.

2289
02:03:23,800 --> 02:03:27,240
Speaker 4: If I had to guess a specific number of wins,

2290
02:03:27,880 --> 02:03:30,760
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the exact same win total as last year, Okay,

2291
02:03:30,960 --> 02:03:33,120
Speaker 4: which I set on opening day, by the way, okay,

2292
02:03:33,280 --> 02:03:35,080
Speaker 4: eighty three? All right, I think they're an eighty three

2293
02:03:35,160 --> 02:03:35,560
Speaker 4: win team.

2294
02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:38,600
Speaker 2: Much more of a of a betting perspective when we

2295
02:03:38,680 --> 02:03:40,880
Speaker 2: get to Smoke Justice as well, depending on how many

2296
02:03:40,960 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 2: drinks maybe we get off the ladder.

2297
02:03:44,000 --> 02:03:46,040
Speaker 4: Well, you know, there's a little bit of a game

2298
02:03:46,120 --> 02:03:49,240
Speaker 4: we play, right, which one of our colleagues will show

2299
02:03:49,320 --> 02:03:52,720
Speaker 4: up to Smoke Justice. Who among our supportive coworkers will

2300
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:55,640
Speaker 4: be there, who's going to stop in to maybe bias

2301
02:03:55,680 --> 02:03:56,120
Speaker 4: of beverage?

2302
02:03:56,200 --> 02:03:58,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we will see who's going to send someone up

2303
02:03:58,920 --> 02:03:59,320
Speaker 2: the ladder.

2304
02:03:59,600 --> 02:04:04,560
Speaker 4: Last year, I think that the number was one correct? Correct?

2305
02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:06,520
Speaker 2: You really we really felt the love? Yes, it was

2306
02:04:06,560 --> 02:04:06,920
Speaker 2: last year.

2307
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:11,160
Speaker 4: Last year it was like love you guys, love everything

2308
02:04:11,280 --> 02:04:13,640
Speaker 4: you do? Cool, gonna come to our opening day show.

2309
02:04:17,960 --> 02:04:19,680
Speaker 4: You know, they have to make sound effects before they

2310
02:04:19,680 --> 02:04:21,920
Speaker 4: give the answer and make a face. Same thing for

2311
02:04:22,040 --> 02:04:24,920
Speaker 4: our show. It's like when Andy Dalton was the Bengals quarterback.

2312
02:04:25,200 --> 02:04:26,640
Speaker 4: We used to joke about this all the time, the

2313
02:04:26,720 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 4: Andy Dalton face. Ask anybody about Andy Dalton, don't make

2314
02:04:29,840 --> 02:04:32,040
Speaker 4: a face or make a sound before they give the answer.

2315
02:04:32,440 --> 02:04:34,720
Speaker 4: The face or the sound matters more than the answer.

2316
02:04:35,120 --> 02:04:37,880
Speaker 4: Same when we ask most of our colleagues how are

2317
02:04:37,880 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 4: you gonna come by? Or Opening days show? They do

2318
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:42,760
Speaker 4: that first, like like they just like jaged something into

2319
02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:46,640
Speaker 4: their tae. See what had happened? Was I was going

2320
02:04:46,720 --> 02:04:49,440
Speaker 4: to but uh, you know, the the bridge to sell

2321
02:04:49,520 --> 02:04:51,320
Speaker 4: down into the Ohio River and I couldn't make it like,

2322
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:53,480
Speaker 4: oh I did that? Or oh you have a show?

2323
02:04:53,800 --> 02:04:53,960
Speaker 9: Yes?

2324
02:04:55,160 --> 02:04:56,760
Speaker 2: Do you want to put a who's gonna be with you?

2325
02:04:57,040 --> 02:04:58,320
Speaker 2: Do you want to put a total on the number

2326
02:04:58,360 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 2: of times we use the term start fast on Thursday? Well,

2327
02:05:01,480 --> 02:05:04,280
Speaker 2: we do that every year, but this year they really

2328
02:05:04,360 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 2: need to.

2329
02:05:05,400 --> 02:05:09,600
Speaker 3: I can't wait for discussing Dane Myers in the opening

2330
02:05:09,680 --> 02:05:13,360
Speaker 3: day lineup because there's always like there's gonna be the shock,

2331
02:05:13,440 --> 02:05:16,520
Speaker 3: you don't expect the surprise. I expect Dane Myers to

2332
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:17,400
Speaker 3: be in the opening day.

2333
02:05:17,320 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 4: Line I'll take Dane Myers in the opening day lineup

2334
02:05:19,640 --> 02:05:23,839
Speaker 4: ahead of whoever the equivalent of I Jebbo is charging

2335
02:05:23,920 --> 02:05:26,840
Speaker 4: out when that bullpen gate flings open Ascraft walk his

2336
02:05:26,920 --> 02:05:31,040
Speaker 4: first batter. Who I have I have been two hundreds

2337
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:32,400
Speaker 4: of Reds games in my life.

2338
02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 5: I have been.

2339
02:05:33,800 --> 02:05:36,960
Speaker 4: I was at Games three, four, and five against San Francisco.

2340
02:05:37,400 --> 02:05:40,560
Speaker 4: I've seen them lose some heartbreakers. I have never heard

2341
02:05:40,760 --> 02:05:44,800
Speaker 4: anything like the sound forty two thousand people made last

2342
02:05:44,880 --> 02:05:49,000
Speaker 4: year when that bullpen door flung open and there was

2343
02:05:49,120 --> 02:05:53,440
Speaker 4: like this pause and then out came in Jibbo to

2344
02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:56,920
Speaker 4: sound the ballpark made like you knew he was gonna

2345
02:05:56,960 --> 02:05:59,800
Speaker 4: cough it up. So what's this year's version of that?

2346
02:06:00,040 --> 02:06:00,400
Speaker 2: I like it.

2347
02:06:00,640 --> 02:06:02,960
Speaker 4: We're not gonna say the terms Tito effect as many

2348
02:06:03,080 --> 02:06:06,720
Speaker 4: times as we did last year. Tito, the Tito, the Magnificent,

2349
02:06:06,800 --> 02:06:08,680
Speaker 4: the Tito effect. What's the Francoona effect?

2350
02:06:08,760 --> 02:06:08,920
Speaker 11: Yeah?

2351
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:12,800
Speaker 4: How many is well established? How many wins is Tito going.

2352
02:06:12,720 --> 02:06:13,160
Speaker 2: To be good for?

2353
02:06:13,840 --> 02:06:15,240
Speaker 4: I think they're in eighty three win team.

2354
02:06:15,280 --> 02:06:17,560
Speaker 2: Okay, what else you got coming up on the show today?

2355
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 4: March madness has never been better. Call it what it is. Yes,

2356
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:25,520
Speaker 4: it's Chalky. Yes, that's awesome. We'll discuss. We'll get to

2357
02:06:25,600 --> 02:06:28,000
Speaker 4: the Reds and they're opening day roster with our guy

2358
02:06:28,120 --> 02:06:30,480
Speaker 4: Jeff Carr. He's going to join us at three twenty

2359
02:06:30,560 --> 02:06:33,960
Speaker 4: locked on Reds Podcast. The most remarkable thing that has

2360
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,400
Speaker 4: happened in Cincinnati sports in maybe three years is happening

2361
02:06:37,520 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 4: right now. I'll explain, and we have Sean King, the

2362
02:06:40,920 --> 02:06:44,640
Speaker 4: head coach of the Cincinnati Slingers four thirty five, plus

2363
02:06:45,360 --> 02:06:48,040
Speaker 4: the return of Brennman and Jones.

2364
02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:52,280
Speaker 2: Maybe on baseball is what's happening in Cincinnati? Is that

2365
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:53,120
Speaker 2: happening in Clifton?

2366
02:06:54,800 --> 02:06:56,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is the smoke emerg no No?

2367
02:06:57,120 --> 02:06:58,680
Speaker 2: I thought you maybe you were talking about Quintin coach

2368
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:02,800
Speaker 2: dude and his eighteen home runs for the twenty fifth

2369
02:07:02,840 --> 02:07:03,960
Speaker 2: rank Bearcat. How about that.

2370
02:07:05,840 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 4: Outing at the Reds game or the Bearcats game.

2371
02:07:08,720 --> 02:07:12,120
Speaker 2: I thought you were kind of the guy no organized,

2372
02:07:12,120 --> 02:07:13,240
Speaker 2: I said, I would be all about it.

2373
02:07:13,400 --> 02:07:15,880
Speaker 4: I didn't want to be the point person. I said,

2374
02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:18,400
Speaker 4: if somebody else takes charge, then I'll show up.

2375
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:21,280
Speaker 2: I missed that part. I'm sorry. Wes Miller lands at

2376
02:07:21,440 --> 02:07:22,120
Speaker 2: in Charlotte.

2377
02:07:22,160 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 4: Good for him.

2378
02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,280
Speaker 2: You want to get a series back with Charlotte, not

2379
02:07:25,400 --> 02:07:27,040
Speaker 2: really build back some of that bad blood.

2380
02:07:27,200 --> 02:07:31,080
Speaker 4: So we could bring back the time that Diego Diego

2381
02:07:31,160 --> 02:07:35,400
Speaker 4: Guevara his friend and the batteries being thrown and Ryan

2382
02:07:35,520 --> 02:07:38,320
Speaker 4: Fletcher throwing a ball at something. No, we're I'm okay,

2383
02:07:38,400 --> 02:07:40,440
Speaker 4: I'm good speaking of being okay and good. Guess it's

2384
02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:42,040
Speaker 4: a Q one game, then yes, are.

2385
02:07:41,960 --> 02:07:45,040
Speaker 2: You okay and good with seeing Joe Burrow playing more

2386
02:07:45,080 --> 02:07:45,720
Speaker 2: flag football?

2387
02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:48,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, a flag football doesn't do it for me.

2388
02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, seeing him cutting and catching past like that, and

2389
02:07:52,360 --> 02:07:55,240
Speaker 2: then seeing like Logan Paul hit Jalen Hurt's arms while

2390
02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:57,480
Speaker 2: he's throwing the ball forward. What are we doing? We're

2391
02:07:57,560 --> 02:07:58,440
Speaker 2: just asking for it At this.

2392
02:07:58,480 --> 02:08:00,440
Speaker 4: Point, I don't really have a need to watch Joe

2393
02:08:00,480 --> 02:08:04,240
Speaker 4: Burrow do anything besides play football. I really don't look

2394
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:05,840
Speaker 4: man to each their own. And if we have a

2395
02:08:05,880 --> 02:08:09,440
Speaker 4: flag football event in the Olympics and the NFL players

2396
02:08:09,520 --> 02:08:12,720
Speaker 4: go okay, flag football doesn't do it for me. Yeah,

2397
02:08:14,040 --> 02:08:16,520
Speaker 4: anything that I can go watch a crc CO ed

2398
02:08:16,600 --> 02:08:17,320
Speaker 4: League team player.

2399
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:20,840
Speaker 2: Uh, why did Florida want a foul down too?

2400
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:23,040
Speaker 4: I have no remote idea. I don't know what Todd

2401
02:08:23,080 --> 02:08:24,880
Speaker 4: Golden was doing. He's too mad at the other coach.

2402
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:28,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't like Todd Golden down the stretch. No,

2403
02:08:28,200 --> 02:08:30,880
Speaker 2: what do you make of the temperature for Mark Pope

2404
02:08:30,960 --> 02:08:34,480
Speaker 2: in Kentucky pretty damn hot. You know, it's a weird season,

2405
02:08:35,000 --> 02:08:35,320
Speaker 2: it was.

2406
02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:38,400
Speaker 4: I thought we used this a lot, like I thought

2407
02:08:38,440 --> 02:08:40,680
Speaker 4: the game yesterday was a little bit of a microcosm.

2408
02:08:41,240 --> 02:08:43,480
Speaker 4: They jump out to a twenty to nine lead, and

2409
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:46,280
Speaker 4: you thought like, all right, as you often did with

2410
02:08:46,440 --> 02:08:48,680
Speaker 4: UK this year, But even when they were at their best,

2411
02:08:48,840 --> 02:08:50,720
Speaker 4: you kept waiting for the other shoot to drop, which

2412
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:53,800
Speaker 4: it did amid all the turnovers. I just like I

2413
02:08:53,920 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 4: watched that game with my wife and I said to her, like,

2414
02:08:56,440 --> 02:08:59,320
Speaker 4: Kentucky doesn't look or feel like Kentucky. No, even like

2415
02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:04,120
Speaker 4: you know, you typically expect big Blue Nation to show

2416
02:09:04,240 --> 02:09:06,960
Speaker 4: up and dominate an arena, didn't feel like that was

2417
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:09,960
Speaker 4: the case in Saint Louis good proximity, I guess for

2418
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:14,040
Speaker 4: Iowa State, but like, Kentucky just doesn't feel like Kentucky.

2419
02:09:14,600 --> 02:09:16,560
Speaker 4: And I don't know that I feel like that's gonna

2420
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:19,720
Speaker 4: change with Mark Pope. I think Kentucky will always put

2421
02:09:20,160 --> 02:09:23,280
Speaker 4: competitive teams on the field because it's Kentucky, and because

2422
02:09:23,280 --> 02:09:25,720
Speaker 4: they'll always be able to pay for players. That's no knock,

2423
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:28,440
Speaker 4: that's just the reality. But I don't feel like Mark

2424
02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 4: Pope gives them a decided advantage when it comes to

2425
02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:35,760
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament or high level games in the SEC.

2426
02:09:36,280 --> 02:09:38,720
Speaker 2: Is there a team who's chances you like better today

2427
02:09:38,760 --> 02:09:41,920
Speaker 2: than maybe you did going into the tournament awe sixteens? Yea, yeah,

2428
02:09:41,920 --> 02:09:43,000
Speaker 2: because now all of a sudden they get to go

2429
02:09:43,080 --> 02:09:47,560
Speaker 2: home for two. Yeah, and yeah, Florida is out. They

2430
02:09:47,560 --> 02:09:51,040
Speaker 2: would have to get past Illinois, and again they're playing

2431
02:09:51,120 --> 02:09:55,200
Speaker 2: at home. We talked about this earlier. I think Arkansas

2432
02:09:55,320 --> 02:09:57,080
Speaker 2: can can push Arizona a little bit.

2433
02:09:57,240 --> 02:09:59,080
Speaker 4: Darius Acuff is my favorite player in the country.

2434
02:10:00,080 --> 02:10:01,839
Speaker 2: Iowa State strong.

2435
02:10:02,400 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 4: Sure are they going to be one hundred percent in

2436
02:10:04,880 --> 02:10:07,840
Speaker 4: the Sweet sixteen? We'll see. What they did defensively to

2437
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 4: Kentucky was something to behold. But I think Houston because

2438
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:14,160
Speaker 4: of the way they played in the first two games.

2439
02:10:15,640 --> 02:10:17,560
Speaker 4: You know they're going to be playing at home. I

2440
02:10:17,640 --> 02:10:19,920
Speaker 4: do really like that Illinois team, but the fact that

2441
02:10:20,480 --> 02:10:24,840
Speaker 4: it's home, that bracket no longer has Florida. They're playing

2442
02:10:24,920 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 4: really well. I like the Cougars chances now more than

2443
02:10:29,560 --> 02:10:32,440
Speaker 4: I did going into the dance when I originally did

2444
02:10:32,560 --> 02:10:35,160
Speaker 4: pick in the bracket Illinois to be Houston.

2445
02:10:35,400 --> 02:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Chances for Saint John's upside, Duke, I.

2446
02:10:37,800 --> 02:10:40,640
Speaker 4: Give him one. Duke hasn't played well in this event.

2447
02:10:41,200 --> 02:10:43,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean they're not great. They may win the

2448
02:10:43,040 --> 02:10:44,520
Speaker 4: whole thing, but for.

2449
02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:47,360
