Speaker 3: cool it has been last couple weeks We've had Travis

12
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 3: Steel in studio twice. That's pretty cool. Yeah, I mean

13
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: today he showed up with his suitcase. He's going from

14
00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: here to Miami to oh Hill and still meantile well Athens,

15
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, and still made time to stop by.

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 4: That is that's really cool.

17
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 5: Hey, it's Jim in Milf Yes, Jane. When I was

18
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 5: doing my first take of this talkback Miami to Hip

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 5: police pulled up alongside of me as I was driving.

20
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 5: Ooh yeah, nothing happened, but hey, let's talk superstitions. Okay,

21
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 5: I want to know, Tony, if was there any superstitious

22
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 5: players when you were in the NFL, please tell.

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: I don't think I was around many superstitious players. Maybe

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: some that were a little stitious, but none at the

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 3: point of superstitions. None at the point I was never

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 3: a really superstitious player either.

27
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 4: You didn't have any like pregame routines. No, I saw

28
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 4: videos just locked in. Mabby Wombach was on a podcast

29
00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 4: recently and she talked for like ten minutes about all

30
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 4: her pregame rituals and routine. Sure. Also, I can't say

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 4: this for sure, but I would imagine if you told

32
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: the police officer what was going on. Yeah, you know,

33
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: I'm sure they listen and probably secretly leave talkbacks as well.

34
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 6: Some guys nikahoone and Kentucky Addie, you got my mouth

35
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 6: water and since launch yesterday wanting to Bacon raft Sushie,

36
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 6: where'd you.

37
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 4: Say you got that thing? From? Dorothy and Tony.

38
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 6: I'm glad Jerry Calhoun's starting to lose, because, like I said,

39
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 6: I don't want that Eric Colt coming here.

40
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:29,679
Speaker 4: I'm good.

41
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 6: I think you let West Miller State one more year

42
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 6: and just ride his contract out like Arizona state is

43
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,400
Speaker 6: Bobby Harley. Let Calhoun go somewhere else. Don't bring that

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 6: jueve Eric Kut back here. And what do y'all think

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 6: about a little double dip going after Kyler Murray? Let

46
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 6: him back up Burrow but then also play baseball. You

47
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 6: could split the contract.

48
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: Oh, Kyler played for the reds Hey Fells.

49
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: It's Fenny.

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 7: Unbelievable, man, the star's finally on line often tony and electric.

51
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 4: It was.

52
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 7: I couldn't believe it, man. I actually felt my athletic

53
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 7: ability increased tenfold up.

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 8: It was gees huge.

55
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 7: But guys, what are we doing out meeting him a

56
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 7: wild like that with Maurice Austin and Tony Man And

57
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 7: I don't know who the other guy was, but he

58
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:12,519
Speaker 7: must be important to this. Rumor has it that Jesse

59
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 7: at Skips is actually.

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 4: Loud talk back Guys.

61
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 3: I would have never never guessed meeting Vinnie that that

62
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: would have come.

63
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 4: The fruition there. It's my favorite thing. Incredible in the world.

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Is I mean Vinnie very polized, very buttoned up, looks

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: like he holds a very important position in this building.

66
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: And then you get that the Jesse at uh that's

67
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 4: that's inside baseball. Right, Yeah, that's good stuff.

68
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 9: Hey guys, I'm sorry you've already covered this, But just

69
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 9: the fact that we're letting Trey walk, does that indicate

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 9: that we're probably conceding free agency this season in the

71
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 9: sense that we're not going to be going after these big,

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 9: you know, high profile free agents in order to get

73
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 9: the comp pick next year.

74
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 10: I just don't understand if we're all in or have

75
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 10: or I don't know.

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 9: For Duke, it seems like the glass is always half full,

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 9: but for us it always feels half empty.

78
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: That's trolling, right. The move from haven't heard for this

79
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: guy in a while, so he may not be trolling.

80
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: The move from on from Trey Henderson does not, I think,

81
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 3: signify that they're not going to be aggressive in trying

82
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: to get some splash players.

83
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 4: Correct. Every person that covers this team all says the

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: same thing. They expect them to be very active in

85
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 4: free agency. So no, I don't think it is a

86
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: concession on this year's free agency.

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,559
Speaker 11: It's the Lord, Tony Austin, I've got a start bench cut.

88
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 11: What are you most excited about during the NFL offseason?

89
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 11: Start bench cut, the NFL Draft, the NFL combine, the

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,640
Speaker 11: NFL schedule release.

91
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 3: For me, it's the draft, and then it's the combine,

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: and then it's the schedule release.

93
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: For me, it's the draft and it's close, and then

94
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 4: it's the schedule release because you get to plan out

95
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 4: the rest of the year, at least for my purposes,

96
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 4: and then the combine after that.

97
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 11: What are the chances of the Bengals signing Khalil Mack?

98
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 3: Probably not zero, not zero, But I don't think great

99
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 3: because Khalil Mack is old, just like you.

100
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 8: I liked you for a reason.

101
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 4: Bruno mars Man.

102
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 12: That man can see.

103
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: Yes.

104
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 12: I have his albums on repeat all throughout the year,

105
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 12: just good vibes, little old school loves songs.

106
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: It's really good. He's a really good singer.

107
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 9: Plus had the best Super Bowl halftime.

108
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 4: Show in my opinion.

109
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 12: That's a very unpopular opinion, but that was the year

110
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 12: that the Austin Bronco's played was a.

111
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 4: Blowout, and that man owned the shage.

112
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 8: I think he even had red hot Chili Peppers on

113
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 8: there to really good performance. Free watch it.

114
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 4: He was good.

115
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: And he's only like I mean, not that it matters,

116
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,919
Speaker 3: he's only like five to four, but he brings to

117
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 3: think just as smaller than I think you would. I

118
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: think you're being a high list again. You would see

119
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 3: him be way man.

120
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 4: Hi, Tony in Austin.

121
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:05,559
Speaker 1: Shoot.

122
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 7: It is a rainy, great day.

123
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 6: Hey, I got tears in my ears from lying in

124
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 6: my bed on my back while I crawl over you.

125
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 7: That turned me off the country that I have expanded

126
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 7: my genre since then, and the music's gotten a little

127
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 7: bit different.

128
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: Have a great day, guys, Please be safe. That was fantastic. Yeah,

129
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: beautifully beautifully.

130
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 12: Sun Hey fellas Happy Friday Eve. It's DJ frum hell.

131
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 12: I gotta tell you, guys. Ever since west Miller cried

132
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 12: at that press conference a few weeks ago, my basketball

133
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 12: life has gotten much better. Bearcats playing like a top

134
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 12: ten program.

135
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 4: Yep.

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 8: The Charlotte Hornets, My Charlotte Hornets Italian records.

137
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 12: Set by Golden State twenty seventeen.

138
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 8: My second or third grade girls killed.

139
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 12: At the hoop fast a few weeks ago, into Halfy

140
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 12: field House, and I just left wondering is this what

141
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 12: life is?

142
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: Now?

143
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 11: Is this real life?

144
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 4: Have a great day, man. The Hafey field House down

145
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 4: in readiness is one for the history. So just ask

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 4: Travis if he's ever considered crying in front of his

147
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: team to get them way better next time we get them. Gentlemen,

148
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 4: I got to start bench cut for you.

149
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 8: Who do you trust for Red's medical staff, the Golden

150
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 8: Archers to give you hot fries.

151
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm out on fries for the time being, But do

152
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 4: you trust them? I trust them the most. I would

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 4: think they get the most trust right now in that group. Yes,

154
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 4: I'd bench Duke and I'd probably have to cut the

155
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: Reds medical right now. I agree Dookie picks one.

156
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: I just want to go back and say that that

157
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: which tass State team was seventeen home wins, twelve road winds,

158
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: six and one neutral. The neutral lost was to my Wildcats.

159
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: That was the team that had Van Vliet and Ron Baker.

160
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: Baker the only team Beach on their schedule Tennessee and Bama.

161
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: You can only play who's in front of you.

162
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean those Tennessee and Bama are certainly impressive wins.

163
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 3: There was an article out today and we might get

164
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: to it here if we got time.

165
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 4: At the end of the hour. EUR three of.

166
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: Kind of an in depth look of who Miami actually

167
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 3: tried to schedule and got turned down. So it wasn't

168
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 3: This wasn't a case of they set the schedule, they

169
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: wanted to schedule more difficult, and they couldn't get a

170
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: team to take it.

171
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: Where would Wade Miley end up in the rotation for Cuba?

172
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 4: And where would Tony Pike end up in the batting order?

173
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 4: I mean I'd hit Tony Pike would have to be,

174
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 4: you know, in the lineup. He'd be at the end

175
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 4: of the bench.

176
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 3: I would hit third.

177
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 4: Interesting to think about.

178
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: Maybe fourth, because I don't have the speed in which

179
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 3: I once thought I did. But I think I could

180
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 3: go clean up for Cuba. No, you could, and and

181
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 3: I'd welcome some batting practice off Wade Miley.

182
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: You could maybe make the team, but you ain't getting

183
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 4: a hit against anybody in the world baseball. Class doesn't

184
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: matter if it's Chinese, Taipei and and Stuart Fairchild, doesn't matter,

185
00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 4: if it's Israel, if it's Australia, sure as hell, you

186
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 4: ain't touching trek school ball. Walk back is in regards

187
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 4: to Miles Garrett getting speeding ticket on iced one, not

188
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 4: the nine tickets I did not know about earlier.

189
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 8: When I looked at that Citiian it was a mile

190
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 8: post one and ninety five. Now at that part on

191
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 8: seventy one, if anyone has done since that, oti to Cleveland,

192
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 8: Colundless of Cleveland is three lanes all the way to

193
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 8: the airport in Cleveland. It's easy to speed twenty five

194
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 8: over over there.

195
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, you just got to have the other eight speeding

196
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 4: tickets before that.

197
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 13: Yeah, I have to double dip on the The State

198
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 13: Highway Patrol office is right outside of Ashland, so obviously

199
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 13: once you passed Aceland within ten miles of that area,

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 13: there's always going to be a State Highway patrol pulling

201
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 13: over any speeders on there.

202
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 8: I know it. I always carved siventy one all the

203
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 8: time to get to New England. You just know that

204
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 8: you just can't go that fast over there.

205
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 4: All right?

206
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: Now, this might be was that where a rolled As

207
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 3: Chapman got pulled over to No, this might be a

208
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 3: dumb question. And I've only received one ticket in my life.

209
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: Knock on wood. Is there not a limit to how

210
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: many tickets you can get before like you get your

211
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: license taken away or something else happening.

212
00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 4: I did see a post this morning this said Miles

213
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 4: Garrett has more points on his license in the Browns

214
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 4: offense average last year. Yikes.

215
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,439
Speaker 14: Oh love me some Lou Holtz.

216
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 10: I never forgave his coach and Chaskins saw they were

217
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 10: playing Oklahoma. I think it was the Cotton Bowl, Arkansas

218
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 10: big underdog, his wide receivers and running backs gotting a

219
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 10: bunch of sananigans. He wouldn't let him play. People are like,

220
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 10: how can you do that? You're gonna get blown out.

221
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 10: He's like, they got to follow the rules. They ended

222
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 10: up crushing Oklahoma.

223
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 4: Thank you, Ah busted.

224
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,479
Speaker 8: This is Super Bowl champion ron Gronkowski.

225
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 12: How about this Dalton Roadhouse riser blocking, protecting, keeping the

226
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 12: bartender safe.

227
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow all right, see you guys. Okay, that was Gronk.

228
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 15: Thanks Gronk, Yo, Tony. Great interview with coach Steele. I'm

229
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 15: a diehard Xavier fan, definitely one of the guys pounding

230
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 15: my fists to get him out of Xavier after his tenure.

231
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: But I don't hate the guy.

232
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 15: And really, man, I loved how he answered your question

233
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 15: about how do you handle the adversity as it comes

234
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 15: up losing guys, and he said it starts with him.

235
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 15: That's a coach who knows his role. He knows exactly

236
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 15: who these guys see him as. Yeah, I'm rooting for him.

237
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 13: Man.

238
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 4: It was awesome. Yeah, some calling America's team and.

239
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 8: There's Tony Piake globbing softballs to Travis Steeles.

240
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 15: Tony, he had one shot to ask him if he

241
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 15: was going to take any players with of the Cincinnati

242
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 15: next season.

243
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 4: I didn't do it. That would be crazy. Where's he going? Yes, a.

244
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 10: Question.

245
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 8: Is Jake Browning still on the roster or has he

246
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 8: been released?

247
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 4: I haven't seen anything. Jake Browning's contract expires in a

248
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 4: couple of days.

249
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, Paul from Cleaves here. My question is is

250
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 14: there a quarterback out there right now that we are

251
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 14: going to sign as a backup? We know Joe Flacco

252
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 14: is going to look for a starting job. I'm just

253
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 14: curious if there's a or do you think we can

254
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 14: draft a quarterback to back up Burrow?

255
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 4: What do you guys think?

256
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 14: Is there a quarterback out there?

257
00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:53,959
Speaker 3: I've not reached this point in my NFL offseason checklist.

258
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: But hold on, I got a trusted list. Austin just

259
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: pulled something off the wall. Yeah, here's I'll go from

260
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 4: the bottom up. Start from the bottom to get here.

261
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 4: Potential guys. Easton Stick, John Wolford, friend of the show,

262
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 4: just got engaged ripping, Okay, Jeff Driscoll. We've had those guys,

263
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 4: know for Skyler Thompson, Brandon Allen Nope, Ted Bridgewater, sure,

264
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 4: Josh Johnson No, Kyle Allen, No, Sam Howell, maybe Trey Lance,

265
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson. Can you pick it? Tyler Huntley, Carson Wentz,

266
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 4: Carson Wentz. I don't know if any of those guys

267
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 4: are realistic opportunities. I'll give you number one. I think

268
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 4: they will draft one late. Number two. I'll give you

269
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 4: a name to keep an eye out on, Okay, Dorian Thompson, Robbins,

270
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 4: d t R something to think about. Okay, I think

271
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 4: they could draft on.

272
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, I keep hearing how it was no big

273
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 16: deal not to tag Trey, But I'm still kind of curious.

274
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 16: Why didn't go ahead and tagg him and see what

275
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 16: kind of interest It really was quite sure that every

276
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 16: team is going to say, now we only make a

277
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 16: trade waiting for him the releasing, because that's always been

278
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 16: their moo. I'm just curious what would have happened. I mean,

279
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 16: he doesn't sign it, they rescind it. In a week

280
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 16: and there's no harm done. What do you think I

281
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 16: think be aggressive.

282
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 4: They've tried to trade him for over a year.

283
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 3: I think if there was a team legitimately interested, they

284
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 3: would have correct if they I mean, yes, there they were,

285
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 3: just it just wasn't there.

286
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 4: It was our last one. It wasn't there. Sorry.

287
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: I know that a lot of people don't want to

288
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: go down that path, but you know I and that's

289
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 3: I guess that's the part of it. I get when

290
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 3: you're not in the trenches here in Cincinnati and covering

291
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: this team like we have the opportunity to do. If

292
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 3: you're if you're not following the Bengals day to day Austin,

293
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 3: you would say, okay, Trey Hendrickson now immediately becomes too

294
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 3: many the top available free agent on the defensive side

295
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 3: of the ball. The Bengals had an awful defense, and

296
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: they chose to let the presumed top free agent to go.

297
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: I could see how maybe folks would view that as

298
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 3: all the Bengals are just being the Bengals. If you

299
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: followed this situation for a couple of years, this was

300
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: the end. This was the conclusion that we all expected

301
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 3: to happen. I get on the outside. How it may

302
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 3: optically look, just didn't work here. And by the way,

303
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 3: the year he led the NFL in sacks, they were

304
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 3: still one of the worst defenses in the NFL.

305
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 4: The Bengals tried to trade him. Now, should they have

306
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: just taken what they could have gotten, Yes, but at

307
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: this point just let it go. We could talk more

308
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 4: about it. We have time.

309
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 3: We have two segments, Yes, in our number two, and

310
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 3: we'll get to Kegan Nickoson to kick off our number

311
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 3: three along with Bob manjeen A's since he three to sixty.

312
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 3: By the way, your phone calls, if you want to

313
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 3: get a phone call in five to one, three, seven, four, nine,

314
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:01,680
