And we're 40 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,640 Speaker 2: joined by a former star receiver and return man of 41 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 2: the Bengals, Tim McGee. Tim, I don't know what much 42 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 2: to say, my friend about yesterday day. It just felt like, 43 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 2: even with three games to go, that it was the 44 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 2: official the stamp of the ending on what has been 45 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: a brutal season. 46 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was pretty pathetic and very sad to see. 47 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,519 Speaker 5: Starting with the body language of language of Joe Burrow, 48 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 5: he just didn't seem to be locked in his normal self. 49 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 6: And I know he had said some. 50 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 5: Words previously last week about not having fun, but it 51 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 5: did appear that he was very uninspired. And you know, 52 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 5: typically being in that locker room for so long, you know, 53 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 5: ten years plus and an agent and all that, typically 54 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: something internally has happened where you're not necesarily when I 55 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 5: say getting your way, we're talking about more philosophy and understanding, 56 00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 5: and it's just not going in the direction that he 57 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 5: probably desires, and obviously has showed on the football field 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 5: where the offense was shut out. And that's just you 59 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: could told me Tom ever that the Bengals offense with 60 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: Joe Burrow starting in Jamar Chase in the lineup, that 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: they would get shut out. 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 6: So that was a huge disappointment. 63 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 2: You know, Burrow made those comments tim last week, and look, 64 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 2: there have been a lot of guys that have been 65 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: basically psychoanalyzing Burrow, not only locally but nationally about his comments. 66 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: And then we see what we saw yesterday. Then after 67 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 2: the game he comes out and says, hey, look, I'm 68 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 2: not bashing Cincinnati. We have the right people here to 69 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 2: get the job done and get this thing moving in 70 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: the right direction. Do you think that he's probably just 71 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: saying what a lot of people probably want to hear, 72 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 2: and that he really can't voice or has decided not 73 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 2: to voice the way he really feels about things. 74 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 5: Well, that's cleaned up on our one. You know, he 75 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 5: let out his true feelings at that moment. And you know, 76 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: I couldn't tell you over and over because I've never 77 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 5: had the social media I didn't play in the. 78 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: Social media era. 79 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 5: But when you have a microphone in your at your 80 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 5: lips so much and so consistently that you know, someone 81 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 5: caught him at that right time where he actually, you know, 82 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 5: probably did say this is how I feel. I'm not 83 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 5: having fun, so on his whole forefend. Yeah, you know, 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 5: he didn't necessarily retract it. 85 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 6: It was more of a walking back a little bit. 86 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,800 Speaker 5: To just say, you know, and he's going to have 87 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 5: those And you have to understand, and fans have to understand. 88 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 5: Management has coaches players alike. You have to understand that, 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 5: you know, people, players are humans and they have emotions 90 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 5: and they go up and they go down, and you know, 91 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 5: you try to stay positive and he's he's been one 92 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: of the most positive athletes of all time. But yes, 93 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 5: you got to Losing does wear on you. 94 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 2: Man. 95 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 6: It's hard to go to work every day. 96 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 5: When you're losing, and you when you have his level 97 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 5: of talent and his level of command of an organization, 98 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 5: not just an offense, not just a team. Man, it's 99 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 5: got to be just big time disappointing to him. And 100 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 5: I don't care what field that you work in. You 101 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 5: know people, people are people, and you know you called 102 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 5: him out a week moment and he let people know 103 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: high c out and that's fine with me. 104 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: Okay, Now you have three games left in the regular season. 105 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 2: It's officially over. The playoff hopes are dashed three years 106 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 2: in a row. Now the franchise will not make it. 107 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 2: Two of those years Burrow missed the majority of the seasons. 108 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 2: For these last three weeks, what are you looking for? 109 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,600 Speaker 2: I mean, help us as a fan of what you 110 00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: are looking for or expecting for these final three games 111 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 2: of the year. 112 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 5: You're looking for individual growth, particularly on the defensive side. 113 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 5: You're looking for players to really step up that you 114 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 5: know can be a part of your plans in twenty 115 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 5: twenty six. 116 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,680 Speaker 6: That's exclusively. 117 00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 5: You know what the offense can do, you know what 118 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: the how they can produce, and they're pretty. 119 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 6: Much set on offense. 120 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,919 Speaker 5: But defensively, you are looking at the player that who's 121 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 5: going to be on this roster, who can really help 122 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: us in twenty twenty six And if those players are 123 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 5: on the team right now, they better show up. And 124 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,000 Speaker 5: I guarantee that's exactly what the coaching staff and management. 125 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 6: Is doing right now. They're trying to. 126 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 5: Figure out who can elevate that game that can be 127 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,559 Speaker 5: a big, big part of a very successful defense because 128 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 5: Al Golden's going to be there. I doubt if you 129 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,360 Speaker 5: see any changes, And I know people want changes, they 130 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 5: want somebody's head, they want blood, they want something to 131 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: give them hope, which in a negative fashion. However, you 132 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 5: just need some outstanding play from some individuals, and when 133 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 5: you look at it, some of those young players have 134 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 5: stepped up a little bit on the defensive side, and 135 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 5: you just want that continuous growth. 136 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 2: Look, I think we all agree that from the time 137 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 2: he took over and the state of the franchise at 138 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: the time, I'm not sure anyone did a better job 139 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 2: than Marvin Lewis did for this franchise as the head coach. Now. 140 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 2: I know that he was here for a decade. His 141 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: record was right around five hundred, he never won a 142 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 2: playoff game. I get all that, but the franchise was 143 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 2: in just a complete state of disarray that he had 144 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: to come in here, weed out the bad apples, bring 145 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 2: in some good players, bring in some competitive players. And 146 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: no doubt about it, Marvin Lewis did do that. I 147 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 2: bring that up because you know, you just talked about it. 148 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 2: They're going to be changes, and of course, the one 149 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 2: thing a lot of people around here start screaming for 150 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,119 Speaker 2: and have been for quite some time, is a change 151 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: in the head coach. Now, I would argue that, Look, 152 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: if they went with Marvin for ten years and did 153 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 2: not let him go, then I don't think there's any 154 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: way they're going to make that kind of move with 155 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: a head coach. 156 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 5: Now, I would agree with you one percent, and it's 157 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 5: money on the Marvin Lewis. I always said that, you know, 158 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 5: because since Marvin brought back honor and respect, I thought 159 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 5: he would be a perfect guy for the general manager 160 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 5: position if they ever had a general manager that was 161 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 5: of substance. But yeah, you're I think you're one hundred 162 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 5: percent spot on when you say fans, listen, attention, attention. 163 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 5: If you're looking for hands of the row is just 164 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 5: not going to happen. You had it last year on 165 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 5: the defensive from the defensive coordinator side, and you see 166 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 5: how that worked out. So no, I don't think you're 167 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 5: going to see Zach Taylor go anywhere. 168 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 6: I think that Super. 169 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 5: Bowl run has given him probably five six seven years 170 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 5: total and maybe even more. And the way the Browns 171 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 5: Brown family operate, they're not going to panic. They're just 172 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: going to state of course, and they're going to try 173 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 5: to add some pieces on defense and maybe even through 174 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 5: free agency, hopefully signed Trey and they're going to give 175 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 5: it another shot. 176 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 6: And that's just what you're going to happen. 177 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,599 Speaker 5: And that philosophy and that approach is probably. 178 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 6: Why Joe Burrow has had it. 179 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 5: That's why he's feeling the way he's feeling, because he wants, 180 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: you know, impact players to come in immediately while he's 181 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,960 Speaker 5: still at the prime. 182 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:50,439 Speaker 6: Of his career. 183 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 5: And as I said to you, Tom while we were 184 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,720 Speaker 5: taxing back and forth, right now, you're looking at a 185 00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 5: Dan Marino type career for Joe Burrow right now, wasted talent, wasted, 186 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 5: just a absolutely wonderful player that once in a lifetime 187 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,920 Speaker 5: player for the Cincinnati Bengals, arguably the best quarterback has 188 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 5: ever played. 189 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 6: And of course you got to. 190 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 5: Give Kenny and Gomer some credit there too, But man, 191 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,079 Speaker 5: you're just wasting this guy's career at this point in time. 192 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 2: Well there's no doubt about that. So something's got to 193 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 2: give based on what you just said. If they're not 194 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,840 Speaker 2: going to make changes, and that means a quarterback is unhappy, 195 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 2: we could be, you know, a major fork in the 196 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 2: road sometime in the not too distant future. One thing 197 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 2: I didn't get to ask you about, and you and 198 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,600 Speaker 2: I have talked about this, A very serious series of 199 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 2: concussions ended your career. You wound up in a hospital bed, 200 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 2: and you made the decision, as you've told me before 201 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:43,760 Speaker 2: about with you and your wife and deciding that's it. 202 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 2: What were your thoughts when you saw t Higgins. You know, 203 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 2: he was in concussion protocol. Then he comes out of it. 204 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,559 Speaker 2: He plays clearly, hits his head a couple of times 205 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: during the game. He passed whatever concussion protocol there was 206 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: on the sideline with an independent doctor and then after 207 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: the game was back in concussion protocol. What are your 208 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 2: thoughts about probably where he is or would you have 209 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: anything to say to him if you could. 210 00:10:11,920 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 5: Well, first of all, my family and his family know 211 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 5: each other very well, although I haven't personally met t H. Yeah, 212 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 5: that is a I have watched him, and I have 213 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: I have had mixed emotions. Of course, you want to play. 214 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 5: He's so young, he's so talented. I get that. I 215 00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 5: heard him say he wanted to be out there for 216 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 5: his teammates. But man, when you get up there in 217 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 5: age brother, when the s comes, it rolls off of 218 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 5: your chest and you no longer that superman with that cape. 219 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 5: You become that human and you start having the ill 220 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 5: effect like I do and other players as well, of 221 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: those concussions, especially the accumulative effect. It's something that you 222 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 5: really have to look into it very seriously. And I 223 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 5: think what you will continue to see and monitor that 224 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 5: if he continues to have this, you know you're not 225 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 5: going to have or he probably won't have that ten 226 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 5: year career because obviously the dollars he makes his uh 227 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 5: you know, generational wealth. So at some point in time, 228 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 5: and especially if they're not winning, he's gonna have to 229 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 5: make a decision. But you know, right now, he's young, 230 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 5: he's energetic, youth is on his side, and you know, 231 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: he wants to win. He wants to win for the fans, 232 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 5: he wants to play for the fans and all that, 233 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 5: and I get it. 234 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 6: But the seriousness of concussions. 235 00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 5: People, if it's just this is not some documentary that 236 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 5: you're watching on TV. 237 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 6: You know I've lived it. 238 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 5: I've lived it live and I won't say well, but 239 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 5: live and upfront and very personal. So my advice to 240 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 5: him would be just, you know, obviously concussions happen. There's 241 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 5: nothing you can do to prevent him. And you know, 242 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 5: obviously he's making you know, just great catches and his 243 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 5: head hits by the ground, and you know when you look. 244 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 6: At the concussion. 245 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 5: I asked the abage person like yourself, Tom Hey, imagine 246 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 5: being in ten car accidents. 247 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 6: On every Sunday. Yes, pretty much what thaks to. 248 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 5: So you're human. I don't care how many muscles you have. 249 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 5: I don't care how much you've been spressed. I don't 250 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 5: care how fast you run the forty. Your brain is 251 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 5: in a liquid environment that's getting shaken around and just 252 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 5: like you would be in a car cident. 253 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 6: So it's just not healthy. 254 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 2: All right. Last thing I want to ask you about, 255 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,560 Speaker 2: and we only have about one minute, and that is 256 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 2: Jermaine Burton. Since you and I last visited, the team 257 00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 2: has let him go. A young man, it's been blessed 258 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 2: with all the talent in the world, but for whatever 259 00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: reason or reasons, things did not work out here. What 260 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 2: would you say to him? 261 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 5: You know, you said, all the talent in the world, 262 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 5: all the physical talent in the world, the game is 263 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 5: more mental than it is physical. And that's the piece 264 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 5: that if I had an opportunity to say to him, 265 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 5: it's like, you have to figure it out because if 266 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 5: not just run fast, jump high, catch balls, score touchdown. 267 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 5: It's a lot to do with at the end and 268 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: out of the game and understanding and you know, really 269 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 5: becoming that professional. You really have to sit down, really 270 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 5: grow and understand what what do you want your career 271 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 5: to look like? What do you when you look back 272 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: on your career, are you going. 273 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: To be pleased with yourself? 274 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 5: Because I can just tell you, Tom, I know so 275 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 5: many guys that when they got to their forties and 276 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 5: fifties and sixties was so regrettable that they made immature 277 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 5: decisions opposed to. 278 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 6: Becoming a professional. 279 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 5: And then looking back on it, like myself, I played 280 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 5: ten years. I look back on it and I think 281 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 5: I had a great career. I think I maxed out 282 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: my ability as five ten, one hundred and seventy eight pounds. 283 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 5: You know, it did wonder just for my family, so 284 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 5: on and so forth, And that's what that's called legacy. 285 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 5: And you want to look back and at that kid 286 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,440 Speaker 5: going to want to look back and have a positive legacy. 287 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 5: And if he doesn't change his ways, and I'm not 288 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 5: saying this was a good fit for him, find a 289 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 5: good fit for yourself, and that way you can look 290 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 5: back and go, I'm very proud of my career. 291 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,199 Speaker 2: Jim, thanks you as always for your time and your expertise. 292 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,880 Speaker 2: My friend, have a great rest of your Monday. 293 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 6: Appreciate for having me as always. 294 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: All righty Tim McGee, as always on the morning after 295 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: a long as there rippled. 296 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 1: This is the Bloomberg Money Minute on seven hundred WLW. 297 00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 7: This is a Bloomberg money minute.

But it looks 336 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: like they're not going to use that money to maybe 337 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: go get somebody else. 338 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 8: Well, I think it was a bad a bad choice 339 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 8: of words by whoever made the you know, there was 340 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 8: a there was an actual statement, a tribute to somebody 341 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 8: in the organization that they made that offer to him 342 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 8: because they knew they figured it would increase ticket sales 343 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 8: or something to that effect. And that was a bad 344 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 8: choice of words if someone said that, and I'm sure 345 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:39,600 Speaker 8: they heard about it as a result of becoming a 346 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 8: public issue. Yeah, an actual inclination would be, if you 347 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 8: had that kind of money and you're willing to spend 348 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 8: it for one while, would you not be willing to 349 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 8: spend it or some of it on another hit. I 350 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 8: don't know that there was another one out there that 351 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 8: brought all of the attributes to the table that that 352 00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 8: that Kyle Schwarber did, being from Middletown, being the pre 353 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 8: eminent right now home run hitter in baseball, being a 354 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 8: great clubhouse guy, you check all the boxes. I don't 355 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 8: think there's anybody else out there other than maybe Peter Alonzo, 356 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:13,640 Speaker 8: and I think he'd be a poor second. I just think, 357 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 8: you know, you got to wait and see what happens, 358 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 8: because we've known now for three seasons that this club 359 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,719 Speaker 8: needed a bonafide home run hitter, and some of the 360 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 8: things that bother me sometimes as I see them side 361 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 8: guys and nobody else wants. You know, they'll tell you 362 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 8: that that's to fill out rosters in their minor league system. 363 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 8: Sometimes I believe that, sometimes it's obviously not true. I 364 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 8: just think that this, this lack of power in the 365 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 8: middle of the lineup has been the single biggest culprit 366 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 8: that this ball club has had over the last two 367 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 8: or three years, and I think something has to be 368 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 8: done about that. It certainly needs to be done this 369 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,399 Speaker 8: off season, because you know, the clock is ticking on 370 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,399 Speaker 8: a lot of these guys. If you have good talent, 371 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 8: and I think this club does. I think it's got 372 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 8: pitching like we've never seen in the history of this franchise, 373 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 8: and they've got to do something about that. And this 374 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 8: off season, this winter leading into the spring, is very 375 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 8: very important as far as the ball club is concerned. 376 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 2: Don't you think, Dad, that they're going to have to 377 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: bite the bullet if they're not going to spend a 378 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: lot of money in free agency. And look, there are 379 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 2: guys that could still go out there and get but 380 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 2: if you've made the decision, that's probably not what you're 381 00:18:29,320 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 2: going to do. Are they ultimately going to have to 382 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 2: bite the bullet and trade one of these pitchers, whoever 383 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,400 Speaker 2: that might be. 384 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480 Speaker 8: Oh, I think one of them will get traded if 385 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 8: they're going to make a deal, rather than if they're 386 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 8: going to turn their back on free agency and decide 387 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 8: that we're going to make a trade and they have 388 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 8: an interested partner, then you're going to have to give 389 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,639 Speaker 8: up a pitcher. Yeah, I think so, and I still 390 00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 8: maintain and I'll stand by it till the day. I 391 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 8: would trade Home bail it Hunter Green right now, I 392 00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 8: would trade him right now. I just get blows my mind. 393 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 8: These peoples are one of the top pitchers in baseball. 394 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,199 Speaker 8: You know, you can't get away. They got enough pitching 395 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 8: depth that they can absorb whatever loss there is by 396 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,439 Speaker 8: trading Hunter Green, and they can break the bank. I 397 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 8: don't know what the reluctance is, because I do believe 398 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 8: now during the course of this past season there was 399 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 8: talk and there was interest in trading him this offseason, 400 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 8: despite what anybody says, I believe that, and so I 401 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 8: think this is the guy that you trade. You can 402 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 8: get a lot for him, because I truly believe when 403 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 8: his contract runs out, assuming he doesn't have a debilitating injury, 404 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,440 Speaker 8: God forbid that would limit his effectiveness as long as 405 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 8: he's in the major leagues, he's going to jump so 406 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 8: fast when his contract runs out in twenty twenty nine. 407 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 8: And if you know that now, and you know you 408 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 8: have the kind of pitching depth that can stand you 409 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 8: in good stead even trading him, I would trade him 410 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 8: right now. 411 00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:09,400 Speaker 2: All right, Let's get to the college football Playoff, which 412 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 2: begins this weekend. And basically the way it works is 413 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,360 Speaker 2: and back to back weekend, you'll have a game on 414 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 2: a Friday night, and then the following day you'll have 415 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 2: three games. That olds true this weekend, it will hold 416 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 2: true in round two next weekend. So let's start with 417 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 2: the games, and we begin with the game that will 418 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: be played this Friday night, with the winner facing the 419 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 2: top seed Indiana Hoosiers. That's between Alabama and Oklahoma. Who 420 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:38,919 Speaker 2: do you like? 421 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 8: I like Alabama. 422 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 6: I don't know why I do. 423 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 8: I don't even think they should be in this mix 424 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 8: right now, I really truly don't. I think that I'll 425 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 8: go to my grave knowing that they screw in the 426 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 8: Notre Dame gut was as big as anything I've ever seen. 427 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:59,159 Speaker 8: But I think I think Alabama will beat Oklahoma. 428 00:20:59,320 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: That's my pick, Okay, all right? And then the other game, 429 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: which most feel will be uber competitive, will be the 430 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 2: ten seed Miami Hurricanes taking on the seven seed Texas 431 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: A and m Aggie's with the winner facing the number 432 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: two seed the Ohio State Buckeyes. Who wins Miami v. 433 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 2: A and M. 434 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 8: Well, that's a tough that says, you know what, I'm 435 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 8: gonna go with Miami. I you know, the former Georgia 436 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,960 Speaker 8: quarterback has done such a great job this season for them, 437 00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 8: and I think they're playing extremely well right now. Texas 438 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 8: A and m I don't know. I just have a 439 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 8: feeling that Miami will win that football game and it'll 440 00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 8: be them against the Bucks. 441 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: All right. Then we get to the two games, and 442 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 2: a lot of people think on paper anyway or not 443 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: all that competitive. I'm not so sure about this game. 444 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 2: I think this has a chance to be competitive for 445 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 2: multiple reasons. And that would be number six Old Miss 446 00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 2: against number eleven two Lane, the winner facing the three 447 00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 2: seed Georgia Bulldogs Tulane the Old Miss who do you like? 448 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,199 Speaker 8: You know, I'm not, I'm not I'm inclined to go 449 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 8: with you because you obviously you think that Tulane is 450 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 8: going to show up bigger than most people think that. 451 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 2: That's why I think that it would be a mistake 452 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: in this case to just rule them like they're going 453 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 2: to get rolled over. I think they've got a very 454 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: very good team. They don't play the schedule that Old 455 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 2: Miss plays. I understand that, but what with the Lane 456 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 2: Tiffin situation and all those other things, the game is 457 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: at Ole Miss. But I think this has a chance 458 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 2: to be a good game. 459 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 8: I don't disagree with that. I think I think that 460 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,360 Speaker 8: the Blane kiffn thing's a big deal, although they've had 461 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 8: enough time now to recover from that. It's not like 462 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 8: they had to play last weekend, so they've had extra 463 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:55,919 Speaker 8: time to to recover from him defecting the LSU. But 464 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 8: I just think it's hard to pick against them in 465 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 8: the conference they playing, and in the conference at TU 466 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 8: Lane plays, and I'm still gonna go with the favorite 467 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 8: and pick hole mister win that game. 468 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: Okay, then I'm assuming that the last game with the 469 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 2: winner advancing the number four seed Texas Tech. I think 470 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 2: everybody's just in a state of shocked. The James Madison 471 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 2: is in this thing, and Notre Dame is not taking 472 00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: on the five seed Oregon Ducks. 473 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 8: Yeah, you gotta pick. You gotta go with Oregon. There, 474 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,439 Speaker 8: you gotta pick Oregon. Uh, it would be cool to 475 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 8: see James Madison win. Uh quite honestly, you know I would. 476 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 8: I would be inclined to pull for James Madison, being 477 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 8: a Virginia native as I am. And the fact that they, 478 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:41,200 Speaker 8: uh they they sent a prepared a little bit more 479 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,359 Speaker 8: Kurt Signetty going to Indiana, and uh so I'm gonna 480 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,400 Speaker 8: I'm gonna pick Oregon, but I'd love to see James 481 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 8: Madison win that game. 482 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we got your picks for the opening round, 483 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: and we'll get your picks for the next round. And man, 484 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 2: there could be some killer games on tap next Yes, 485 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: there could be New Year's Eve. The Mighty Bucks will 486 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 2: be in prime time. They are the New Year's Eve 487 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,360 Speaker 2: game at seven point thirty against Miami or Texas. Say it, am, 488 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:08,400 Speaker 2: all right, have a great rest of the day. Luke 489 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 2: is back until you got one where he makes his 490 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:12,080 Speaker 2: way to the Rose Bowl. 491 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 8: Okay, I got one point to make for you, Yes, sir, 492 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,400 Speaker 8: I just want to recommend to all the Bengals fans 493 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 8: the next time they go to a home football game 494 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 8: under snowy conditions, bring their snowblowerway. That's all I got, 495 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 8: That's all I got. 496 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 2: All right, I'll tell you later. I have a great 497 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 2: rest of your day. We love you, talk to you soon.
