40
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: Last night, Austin Xavier winners in a tight one. I

41
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 3: think Xavier went off is a twenty two and a

42
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 3: half point favorite last night over the Lemoinne Dolphins. Leamoye

43
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 3: made that one interesting. Xavier wins it seventy four sixty nine.

44
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Richard Patino earlier in the week said something along the

45
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 3: lines of get comfortable in the uncomfortable. You're gonna be

46
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 3: playing a lot of close games this year. Xavier has

47
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: played two already. Now, Xavier is gonna keep getting better.

48
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: They will keep improving under Richard Patino. So get him

49
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: now if you can. But last night some good things

50
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: for Xavier. Some things you gotta work on, for sure.

51
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: But what I saw as well last night, Austin is

52
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: a team that's going to continue to get better. Now,

53
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: I'll say this, we here in Cincinnati are extremely spoiled

54
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: when it comes to broadcast. Dan Hord and Dave Lapham,

55
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,120

95
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: the Muskies last night, I mean as as a whole.

96
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 3: Leamoye shot fifty two percent from the field. Yeah, so

97
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 3: that in and of itself and they out. They had

98
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 3: more points, more points in the paint than Xavier by twelve. Crazy.

99
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: As Steve said on the broadcast last night, you live

100
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 3: by the three, you die by the three. Yeah, Xavier,

101
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 3: I thought shot way too many threes. Are gonna have

102
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 3: to work and get into the rim.

103
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 2: But twenty five threes, yeah, hoisted up there by the Muskie.

104
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 3: They have found ways to win two tight ones. The

105
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 3: schedule's only going to get harder. We understand that, especially

106
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 3: when you get into Big East play. But two and

107
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 3: oh is two and o Xavier wins. Speaking of college basketball, tonight,

108
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 3: you see will play host to Georgia State. Kentucky will

109

Speaker 3: play host to Valpariso in Miami. The RedHawks will play

110
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 3: host to Trinity Christian Trolls. The Trinity Christian Trolls.

111
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 4: That's fun, man, that's fun to say.

112
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: In a Top twenty five matchup tonight. Blue bloods in

113
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 3: college basketball, Kansas and North Carolina do battle.

114
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 4: Let's stick on the college slate.

115
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: Surprised, I think is an understatement Austin to read this

116
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 3: out of Madison, Wisconsin, it has been said that head

117
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 3: coach Luke Fickel will return in twenty twenty six. This

118
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: says the athletic director of Wisconsin. How surprised are you

119
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 3: for this Wisconsin football team that is yet to win

120
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: a game inside the Big Ten. They are two and

121
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 3: six overall and the schedule remaining has Washington, Indiana, Illinois,

122
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: and on the road at Minnesota. I don't know that

123
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 3: Wisconsin wins a Big Ten game? Is it too early

124
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 3: for the ad in this world? Of nil and raising money.

125
00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 3: Is it too early for the AD to come out

126
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 3: and say, yes, Luke Fickle's gonna return twenty twenty six.

127
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 3: Or does it help recruiting knowing that the coach is

128
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: going to be still in place.

129
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: I have no idea. I don't know if that's a

130
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 2: good thing or not.

131
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: I feel like the temperature in Wisconsin is people are

132
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: done with him.

133
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: It's just the thing is like there's there's nothing really

134
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 2: to build on, Like what is there? Does it feel

135
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: like is going in the right direction with them? I

136
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 2: remember when I was in Green Bay ahead of the

137
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: Bengals Packers game. I went to this sports bar and

138
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 2: watching the Brewers play, and they had the Wisconsin football

139
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: game on, and the things that these locals, these wonderful, nice,

140
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: lovely people were saying about Wisconsin.

141
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: Football, It's unbelievable.

142
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: It's it does not add up with the great, nice,

143
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: hospitable Wisconsin people. So they seem to be fed up.

144
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: And I don't know that you're going to get a

145
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: lot of public support for a decision like that. How

146
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 2: are you going to go raise money? But maybe maybe

147
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: the idea has been we haven't given him a fair

148
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 2: chance financially and now we will Maybe that's gonna be

149
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: how they sell it. I think it's going to be

150
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,920
Speaker 2: difficult to secure such funds after all of this, But okay,

151
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,840
Speaker 2: I guess they're being honest and transparent.

152
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: I'll never complain about that.

153
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: Sticking to the college world, how about Kentucky quarterback Zach Calzada.

154
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: If you're not familiar with Zach, Zach is the Kentucky quarterback.

155
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 3: He is also a seventh year senior. He's been benched

156
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 3: after a shoulder injury and then a poor performance in

157
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,800
Speaker 3: the first two games of the twenty twenty five season.

158
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: Apparently him and this fan named Garrett were beefing on

159
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 3: social media. Okay, and so Zach took to his social

160
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: media and started throwing around just stacks of cash, and

161
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean stacks of cash. This is about a forty

162
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: second video of Zach just sorting through one hundred dollars bills. Garrett, Garrett,

163
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: get your money up, Garrett, get your money up. What

164
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 3: an incredible week message from our starting quarterback in college football,

165
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: especially a seventh year senior quarterback in college football, and

166
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 3: I think obviously points to a much bigger problem that's

167
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: going on. With Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats. Yeah,

168
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 3: just ill advised, bad look all around. MLB qualifying offers

169
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 3: were sent out yesterday Austin. Were there any surprises among

170
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 3: I believe fourteen players Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, Bob Bashett Framber, Valdez,

171
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 3: Dylan CIEs, rangers for as, Edwin Diaz, Glaber, Torres, Brandon Woodruf,

172
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 3: Zach Gallins, Shoto In Monaga, Michael King, and Trent Grisham

173
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: all given out tender the twenty two million dollar qualifying offer.

174
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 3: They have until November eighteenth to accept or reject the

175
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: one year deal. But I don't think any surprises there

176
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 3: in Major League Baseball. Yeah, I mean, I don't think

177
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: any of our surprises. I don't expect Tucker to accept it. Obviously,

178
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: Schwarber is not going to accept it. I think immen

179
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 3: Naga is interesting because he was a bit of a

180
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: roller coaster for the Cubs last year, did lead the

181
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: league if I'm not mistaken in home runs given up,

182
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 3: and I'm just curious about the Cubs plan as a whole.

183
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 3: I mean, that would be a team that I would

184
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 3: be frustrated with when it comes to just a sheer

185
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: amount of money that they could be spending and they don't.

186
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 3: But other than that, no, not really any surprises whatsoever.

187
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 3: A couple NFL storylines here as we wind down segment

188
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:31,079
Speaker 3: number one. Good news for Jaden Daniels of the Washington Commanders,

189
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:35,480
Speaker 3: no ligament damage in the dislocated left elbow and won't

190
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 3: be placed on injured reserve.

191
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 4: He will not require surgery.

192
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: He's going to be reevaluated during Washington's bye week in

193
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 3: week eleven. So best case scenario news for Jaden Daniels,

194
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: worst case scenario news, And unfortunately, Austin, you just kind

195
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 3: of felt that this was going to be coming at

196
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 3: some point. Antonio Brown was arrested on an attempted murder

197
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 3: trad stemming from a mace shooting after a celebrity boxing

198
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 3: event in Miami. He was taken into custody by US

199
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 3: Marshalls in Dubai, flowing to Essex County, New Jersey, where

200
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: he's being held pending extradition to Miami. It's unfortunate, but

201
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 3: if you followed along at all with Antonio Brown post career,

202
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 3: kind of probably saw something like this coming.

203
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: Honest to god, I have not followed along with him

204
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,559
Speaker 2: he's been doing. If you look up my muted words

205
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,439
Speaker 2: and blocked accounts anything, Antonio Brown is one of them.

206
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm not a fan of that dude, and even more

207
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,760
Speaker 2: reason not to be with this alleged this allegation now,

208
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 2: so you just hope that he doesn't hurt people or

209
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 2: hurt himself. He obviously gets the help that he needs.

210
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 2: You brought this up to me before the show today,

211
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 2: and I want to make note of it. Carly Hearsay.

212
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 3: Gordon went to the GM of the Indianaupis cult Ballard

213
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: ahead of the Sauce Gardner trade and apparently she asked, Chris,

214
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 3: do you want a band aid to fix or do

215
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 3: you want to fix it long term? When talking about

216
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 3: the defense, I cannot respect this woman any more than

217
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 3: what I do.

218
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I.

219
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: Guess it's just kind of been She slipped through the

220
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 2: cracks over the last several years because she has handled

221
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,079
Speaker 2: day to day operations with the Colts for a long time.

222
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 2: She has been on the sideline more than just this year.

223
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 2: But she's now thrust into the spotlight because of the

224
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: passing of her father, and you're starting to see more

225
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 2: of the impact that she has and maybe she does

226
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: have a bigger impact now that he's no longer there,

227
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 2: But she's one of the best stories in the NFL

228
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:48,680
Speaker 2: right now, yep. And her direct impact on the vision

229
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: in the direction of the Indianapolis Colts. And if you're

230
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: Chris Ballard, who has gotten plenty of chances and maybe

231
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 2: Colts fans would argue too many chances for her in

232
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 2: the midst of all the turnover and change that's happened

233
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: with the Colts to recognize in this moment band aid

234
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 2: or long term, you have the option to decide that,

235
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 2: and you know, giving Chris Ballard the freedom to go

236
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: and to do that tells me a lot. Number one,

237
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: that they believe in Daniel Jones. Number two, that the

238
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 2: ownership group believes in Chris Ballard, and that the Colts

239
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: may have found something here. And now, unfortunately bad news

240
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: for the Colts today, DeForest Buckner is going to go

241
00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 2: on injured reserve due to a neck injury. But still

242
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 2: that's the type of thing you're talking about. One into

243
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 2: your defense is injured, but you've added to the other

244
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 2: end of your defense that's going to help everybody in

245
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: the long term. So just very impressed by Carli ers

246
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: A Gordon.

247
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 3: Lastly, how would you put into words last night's Thursday

248
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 3: night football match ten to seven Broncos when Gino Smith

249
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 3: was injured at one point in the game through an interception,

250
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: he pick it came in. He wasn't great. Bo Knicks

251
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: pedestrian one hundred and fifty yards, one touchdown, two interceptions.

252
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of Denver because nothing

253
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 3: about what they're doing is clean, but they're also eight

254
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: and two.

255
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: I thought Sean Payton got a little too cute last night,

256
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: tried to do stuff he shouldn't do or didn't need

257
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 2: to do, and repeatedly hurt the Broncos center, a rookie

258
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 2: punter that had the yips could barely kick the ball.

259
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: And what's even more frustrating because I was rooting for

260
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 2: the Raiders in that game. Gino Smith is not very

261
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: good Nope, and his body language is not good. He

262
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 2: doesn't operate that offense very well. I also think Chip

263
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 2: Kelly's not been great. They have got to run the

264
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: football more. They got away from that, They got a

265
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean you invest a pick like that. They've invested

266
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: in their offensive line, and I understand Alex Kappa had

267
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: to come into that game, which probably throws a wrench

268
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: into things. But they they got to run.

269
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: The football more. I thought they ran it well early.

270
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: They did, and then they stopped and they went six

271
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 2: possessions in a row without picking up a first down.

272
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 4: I just don't understand it.

273
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: In a really good performance by the Raiders defense last night,

274
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: I was impressed by that. I forgot Jamal Adams was

275
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 2: still playing. He had a good night. Max Crosby was impactful.

276
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 2: So it's not a game that they're gonna put up

277
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 2: on the video board and the Pro Football Hall of

278
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,360
Speaker 2: Fame in Canton, that's for sure. But I think if

279
00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 2: you're the Raiders, you're kicking yourself over multiple missed opportunities.

280
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: And if you're the Broncos, you're thinking, hey, if we

281
00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: can win a game where we play like that, we

282
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 2: might have.

283
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 4: A chance in January.

284
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 3: I'll tell you this, six more sacks for the Broncos

285
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: defense last night. They had forty six through ten games,

286
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: which is the most in the NFL, and it puts

287
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 3: them on pace Austin to break the single season sock

288
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 3: record in the NFL of seventy two. They're currently averaging

289
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 3: just under five sacks per game. If that holds, they'll

290
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 3: finish with seventy eight sacks. Nick Benito has nine and

291
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: a half, Jonathan Cooper seven and a half, Zach Allen

292
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 3: has six. That is a nasty, nasty defense.

293
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 4: You have that you have a chance in any game

294
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: you play.

295
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: Amen, let's take a break, let's come back, and let's

296
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: do something fun on a Friday.

297
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 4: Let's rile some people up.

298
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:18,640
Speaker 3: Let's play some audio from ESPN's first take around Joe

299
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 3: Burrow and a question that some Jet fans have come

300
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 3: up with. We'll play the audio, we'll react to it,

301
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 3: and we'll open up the phone lines to get your reaction.

302
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,959
Speaker 3: Five one, three, seven, four nine, fifteen thirty. This happens

303
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: next on the Friday Football Frenzy on ESPN fifteen thirty

304
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 3: Cincinnati Sports Station.

305
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 4: Now your chance to WINNFL
