The folks 18 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 2: at Fox nineteen were at the Combine last week. We've 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,119 Speaker 2: got a ton to catch up with our guy Joe 20 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 2: Daniman with including a very big night of college basketball 21 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: ahead this evening as well. Tonight we'll see multiple multiple 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 2: local teams and a lot of bubble action happening as well. 23 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: Of course, one of the most talked about teams right 24 00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:29,119 Speaker 2: now in all of college basketball is the Miami RedHawks. 25 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 2: They host the Toledo Rockets tonight. A win and this 26 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 2: thing just keeps on rolling for Miami, it would get 27 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: them to thirty and zero on the season. A loss 28 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,119 Speaker 2: would make them a point of conversation every single day. 29 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 2: Based on earlier conversations this week of what Bruce Pearl 30 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 2: had to say about Miami and if they don't win 31 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: their conference tournament that they shouldn't be in and it's 32 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 2: led to a lot of back and forth. Is led 33 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 2: to a lot of conversations on this show. I saw earlier. 34 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 2: The athletic director of the Miami RedHawks, David Saylor, was 35 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: on Wake Up Barstool this morning. He's all over the place. 36 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 2: The red Hawks are over the place. Would you go 37 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 2: as far Austin as to say that Miami has become 38 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: America's team? 39 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 3: I don't know that I have the ability to speak 40 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:29,320 Speaker 3: for America. I think, you know, the Auburn area probably 41 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 3: wouldn't say that they are America's team. 42 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 2: I think Bruce Pearl is finding out that there are 43 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: a lot of Miami fans out there. 44 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: I don't think Cincinnati fans would say they're rooting for 45 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 3: the red Hawks. 46 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: I mean, now you're rooting hard for the RedHawks. Yeah, 47 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: for all of our time. Oh yeah, you know, our 48 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 2: guy Kyle Decker was on last week. He's pushing and 49 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 2: making a push to increase your Twitter followers. I can 50 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: imagine that that Kyle would want to see you coming 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 2: out the Miami haters using your platform, which I'm sure 52 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: you would. Yeah, I'm sure you speaking of coming at people, 53 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: oh and using my platform. 54 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: You want to know who should be ashamed of themselves? 55 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: The coaches of the Horizon League. Oh, because there was 56 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 3: a complete travesty yesterday when it was announced that Donovan 57 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 3: o Day, Oh Day all Day, the great guard for 58 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 3: the NKU Norse, was not ranked first team All Horizon League. 59 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: One of the more disgusting developments happening. 60 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 3: They voted Donnovan O Day second Team Horizon League. Huh, 61 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 3: he's averaging eighteen points a game. He's shooting fifty percent 62 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 3: from the field. 63 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: Sure. 64 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I did some research and I 65 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 3: may or may not have been helped by the Great 66 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: Reverend Richard Browing on this absolutely, But you know Ken 67 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 3: Pom right, everybody loves Ken Pom. 68 00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: Yeah. 69 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: Well, he started doing all league teams in twenty thirteen 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 3: and twenty fourteen, Ken himself. And you know when whenever 71 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 3: a player ranks or he ranks the top five players 72 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 3: in each conference, and every year he's done that, one 73 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 3: of the top two players in his rankings have won 74 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 3: the Horizon League Player of the Year. Sure, every single 75 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 3: season for twelve years straight, Odey was top two. Like 76 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 3: most of the year in these rankings, he finished third. 77 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 3: He didn't even make first team in the Horizon League 78 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: First team All Conference team. It's disgusting, it's embarrassing. And 79 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 3: he's second in the league in scoring, He's tenth in 80 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 3: field goal percentage. He's made the second most free throws, 81 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 3: He's got the third highest free throw percentage. He's an 82 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: absolute menace on the defensive end, second in the conference 83 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: in steels. And these coaches, guys like Doug Gottlieb didn't 84 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 3: vote of an O Day. Yeah, as the first team. 85 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: What about Greg Campy? What's that old man doing? What's 86 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 3: who's he voting for? This is a bunch of nonsense. 87 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: I got of an O Day should be first team 88 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 3: All Horizon League, and it's nonsense that he's not. 89 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,840 Speaker 2: I would go as far as blasphemy. 90 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 3: I wouldn't walk across the street to see Gottlieb or 91 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,600 Speaker 3: Campy or any of those guys. Who's the guy at 92 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: Wright State? What's his now? I bet he didn't vote? Oh, 93 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: Clint Colonel Sergeant Hurdle. Gosh, yeah, he makes Clint Hurdle 94 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 3: look good, and that's not easy to do. TJ. 95 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 2: Birch Att Wright State good player average just over eleven 96 00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: points a game, couple assistant game. He made first team? 97 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 2: Why All League? The other players that I saw on 98 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 2: this list DeShawn Good. Deshaun Good was in the top ten. 99 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 2: He was number ten in scoring in the Horizon League. 100 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 2: Corey had not He's pretty good. He leads the league 101 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 2: in scoring. Orlando loved Joy. 102 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: What did you say, who's the first guy's name? 103 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 2: Deshaun? 104 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 3: TJ Birch, No, No, something good DeShawn Good? Yeah, more 105 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: like Deshaun average. 106 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: Thank you, Brody Robinson at Oakland. He's fifth in the 107 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: league in scoring. Yeah, somehow, oh Day all Day number 108 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 2: two in the league in scoring. And it's not like 109 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 2: he's that high because he just shoots a ton and 110 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: the volume is high. He shoots at fifty percent from 111 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: the field. Yeah, I think it's a I think it's 112 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: one of the more disrespectful things we've seen as of late. 113 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 3: I mean, this is the dude who came over from 114 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 3: cal State Fullerton, where he'd been for the last couple 115 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 3: of years, and his field goal percentage immediately just jumps 116 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,279 Speaker 3: seven percent. He improves his three point shooting, he improves 117 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: his free throws. I mean, you jump from that that 118 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 3: to this. 119 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: Who should be the average responsible parties that are six 120 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 2: more points a game that are held accountable. 121 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: I guess it's the coaches. 122 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: I mean, because I mean we saw Gottlieb get up 123 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 2: there and throw a temper tantrum. 124 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: No, Gottlieb don't know anything. 125 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: There's this disgusting behavior. I don't get it from the 126 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: Horizon League. Should be first team All Horizon. I agree. 127 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: College basketball outside of the snub in the Horizon League. 128 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 2: Kentucky Athletic director Mitch Barnhardt, this is a big one. 129 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 2: Is expected to retire at the end of this season. 130 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 2: That's a big one in the Bluegrass. Any relation to Tucker, 131 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: it's a great question. But I'd like to know what 132 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 2: Big Blue Nation thinks of this. Is Mitch a good guy? 133 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: Bad guy? Do they like him? Do they hate him? 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: Down there? What does this mean going forward? We'll talk 135 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: about more college basketball today again, including the Big Slate tonight, 136 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: and we'll talk about what Richard Patino Junior had to 137 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 2: say last night at the Coaches Show when he was 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 2: asked point blank, a lot of people out there think 139 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 2: you're gonna up and bolt. Shout out to Sue who 140 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: asked the question last night at the Coaches Show. We'll 141 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: get into that audio this afternoon. The Atlanta Falcons the 142 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 2: atl Austin They're gonna play a game in Madrid this year. 143 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: There's a chance that with that game happening in Madrid, 144 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 2: that the Bengals could be the opponent in that one. 145 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 3: Two of the Bengals scheduled road opponents, the Washington Commanders 146 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 3: in the Atlanta Falcons, are set to host international games, 147 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 3: and many believe there's a very good chance that the 148 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 3: Bengals would be one of those. Now, there's also this 149 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 3: belief that with the Bengals having an extra home game 150 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 3: the following season twenty twenty seven, that they could be 151 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: waiting for that. Now, a couple of other teams on 152 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: the Falcons schedule, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Chicago Bears. 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,719 Speaker 3: They have marketing rights in Spain. You might know, the 154 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 3: NFL has certain countries you're allowed to market in, and 155 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: for the Bengals is one of them. The Chiefs and 156 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 3: Bears are in Spain. Now, I would imagine that the 157 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 3: Falcons would vehemently protest the idea of losing a home 158 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: game when the Chiefs come to town, because it's the 159 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: Chiefs and they only come there every eight years and 160 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: they have a huge fan base. The Bears probably less likely, 161 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 3: because less likely that they would protest that because the 162 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 3: Bears come, you know, with some degree of regularity in 163 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 3: the NFC, and with the Bengals, I don't know that 164 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 3: there is much of a draw, although it is an 165 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,959 Speaker 3: easy drive for a lot of Bengals fans. I think 166 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 3: right now I would put the Bears as the favorite, 167 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 3: just because they're kind of a league sweetheart at the 168 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,320 Speaker 3: moment as well, but they did play over there recently 169 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 3: as well. Either way, I just hope and pray, and 170 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 3: as an anti staunchly anti international football person myself, I 171 00:09:58,720 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 3: really hope the Bengals don't. 172 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,680 Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons in the news. Atlanta Hawks found themselves 173 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 2: in the news Man not because former Hawk Trey Young, 174 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 2: who's now a Washington Wizard before he's even played a 175 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 2: game for the Wizard, got tossed from the bench last night. 176 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 3: What's he been doing? Why has he not been playing? 177 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 2: I don't know. Is he hurt. I don't know what's 178 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 2: going on. 179 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: I don't know about Tree Young. 180 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: You know, he kind of just moves, doesn't move the 181 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: needle anymore from me. But the Atlanta Hawks have collaborated 182 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 2: Austin and doing a Magic City. 183 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,839 Speaker 3: Night, Magic City Monday. 184 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 2: Magic City Monday. Now they announced a Magic City Monday. 185 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 2: They've got gear Austin this Magic City hoodie that the 186 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 2: Atlanta Hawks themselves put out. They They said that the 187 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 2: night will show love to the quote cultural institution with 188 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 2: appearances from legends like Ti, the Establishment's famous chicken wings 189 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 2: merch and more. Nowhere in the release did the Hawks 190 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 2: acknowledge Magic City's fame as a strip club, right, And 191 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 2: that got Charlotte Hornet forward Luke Cornett all up in arms. 192 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: He said, this is disrespectful to women. I believe Luke 193 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 2: Cornett plays for the Spurs. The Spurs, Yes, I'm sorry, 194 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: he said. 195 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: Quote. 196 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 2: The NBA should desire to protect an esteem women, many 197 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 2: of who work diligently every day to make this the 198 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 2: best basketball league in the world. We should promote an 199 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: atmosphere that is protective and respectful of the daughters, wives, sisters, 200 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: mothers and partners that we know and love. Regardless of 201 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 2: how a woman finds her way into adult entertainment industry, 202 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 2: many in this space appearing experience abuse, harassment, and violence 203 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 2: to which they should never be subjected. What do you 204 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: make of this id Magic City? It is very much 205 00:11:55,559 --> 00:12:01,400 Speaker 2: a It is a cultural institution. And in Atlanta, Yes, 206 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 2: I mean, my guy Tarren talks about Magic City almost 207 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,959 Speaker 2: every day. 208 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,959 Speaker 3: Like he goes to Atlanta. He goes to Magic City 209 00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: like that's he loves it there. It's a destination. They 210 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 3: are known world famously for their chicken wings. True, I 211 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 3: don't know that the women that dance at this club 212 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 3: would necessarily say that that, you know, This is kind 213 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 3: of like the pinnacle right of strip clubs. 214 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 2: I think it's pretty good money if you're in that industry. 215 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: This is this is your spot. 216 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 3: GQ called Magic City America's most important club. 217 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 2: Oh wow. 218 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: Now, for research purposes, I went to the Magic City 219 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: website and on this website they have many celebrities sitting 220 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: down talking about the importance of Magic City, one of 221 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,560 Speaker 3: which is Shaquille O'Neill. You know Shaquille O'Neil and Chuck 222 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: and Ernie and all those guys. They're based in Atlanta 223 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 3: and for many years they have not shied away from 224 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 3: mentioning Magic City. Be careful Magic City on inside the NBA. 225 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 3: I don't know that. I don't know how to feel 226 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: about this. It being Magic City Night is pretty funny 227 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 3: that they like it is so ingrained in the culture 228 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 3: of Atlanta and in the NBA that this was never 229 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,560 Speaker 3: even a second thought for the team correct to be like, oh, yeah, 230 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 3: everybody loves Magic City, We'll do a Magic City Night. 231 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 3: I feel like most people know Magic City for their 232 00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 3: wings then they do that it's. 233 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: A strip club. I think so too. 234 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 3: I think people should be able to do whatever they want, 235 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 3: and if you don't agree with this and don't want 236 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 3: to support this, then you don't have to. And Luke Cornett, 237 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: I get where he's coming from. Sure, I totally understand. 238 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 3: I think the hoodie collaboration's pretty solid. The hoodie looks great, 239 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 3: it's a good looking hoodie just Magic City. But uh, 240 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 3: I'm with you on this one. I think we're in 241 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: agreement here. I don't know that the I would need 242 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 3: to speak to the women who work there to understand 243 00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: if they feel like they are objectified and mistreated because 244 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 3: of what they do. I don't know. 245 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: It feels and seems to me like if the Hawks, 246 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 2: who are an NBA institution, if they went as far 247 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: as to collaborating and doing this night, you would think 248 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 2: that they would collaborate with the women as well. You 249 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 2: would say that the women would say, yeah, absolutely, let's 250 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 2: sign off on this. 251 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 3: And I think, you know, it's a slippery slope when 252 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: it comes to the objectification and mistreatment of women. Out 253 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 3: of doubt that Luke Cornet Cornett is talking about, because 254 00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 3: does he then believe that there should be no cheerlead 255 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 3: or dance teams across the NBA? Because I would You 256 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 3: could probably make the argument that those women are also 257 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 3: objectified and mistreated based off of the way that they 258 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,080 Speaker 3: look and the moves that they make. I don't know. 259 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 3: I just feel like there's a lot to this, and 260 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 3: I don't know that Luke Cornett, with all due respect, 261 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: understands just how much that is intertwined in the culture 262 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 3: of that city. That's like Red's opening Day, like that 263 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 3: is that is where you go. I was just, you know, 264 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 3: listening to Dan Patrick not that long ago, and they 265 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: were going to Atlanta for something and they did a 266 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 3: night at Magic City the radio team, so like it's 267 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 3: it is. You got to get some reservations. But I 268 00:15:57,640 --> 00:15:59,480 Speaker 3: think it's one of the funniest stories of all time. 269 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 2: It is. It's something to watch for sure. Last night 270 00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 2: college basketball, Arizona wins the Big twelve. They clinched that 271 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 2: and Duke clinches the ACC title. 272 00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 3: I wonder where Magic City stands in terms of, like 273 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: the economic impact in the state of Georgia, because again 274 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: research economy, research purposes. I'm going to this website and 275 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: looking at some of the photos. A lot of cash, 276 00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 3: a lot of dollars being spent, yep at a place 277 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 3: like this, So then it becomes okay, well, how important 278 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 3: is the economy. 279 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 2: We're getting deep now, one last thing before we break in. 280 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 2: And this is hard because I don't want to dive 281 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 2: too far into this because Austin, you and I were 282 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: talking about earlier. I just don't know the validity of 283 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 2: it yet. But our guy James Rapine covering the Bengals 284 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 2: on SI did write about it, and I just did 285 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 2: want to mention that. Core Kinnan noted that Ohio State 286 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 2: product Caleb Downs was flagged for an injury at last 287 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 2: week's Combine. This according to Corey, he was told this 288 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: by an NFC scout that no one expected Downs to test, 289 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: so it flew under the radar a little bit. But 290 00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: it was told that Caleb Downs was flagged with a 291 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 2: partially torn meniscus, which is not a serious concern, but 292 00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:32,399 Speaker 2: also was flagged with a potentially degenerative ACL. Now, again 293 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: this is not being widely reported, so it's hard to 294 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: tell the validity. And you and I spoke earlier, Austin. 295 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 2: This could very well be an NFL team leaking this 296 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,440 Speaker 2: in hopes that Caleb Downs falls in the draft to them. 297 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 2: But that is something to watch out for, and that's 298 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,360 Speaker 2: why these teams have to do their due diligence when 299 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 2: drafting a player, especially in the top ten, to make 300 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 2: sure that there aren't circumstances like that at play. 301 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, the medicals are probably the 302 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: most important part of the combine these days, and obviously 303 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 3: for a guy that you're considering picking in the top 304 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: ten or the top fifteen or the first round altogether, 305 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: you're gonna do your due diligence and figure out, Okay, 306 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 3: what exactly does this mean, how did this happen, what 307 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,679 Speaker 3: are the steps forward? Does it affect your availability for 308 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 3: this year? And so on? So I get where they're 309 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:28,120 Speaker 3: coming from. I can't Half the people I read say 310 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 3: it's not true. Half the people say it it is true. 311 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 3: Most people think it's probably been leaked by a team 312 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 3: that wants him to fall. I don't know. I don't know. 313 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 3: I would need to learn more, and maybe our conversation 314 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 3: with Bob Manjean later this week can shed some light 315 00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Speaker 3: on what it means to be a degenerative ACL and 316 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 3: what kind of long term problems that could have. 317 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 2: Certainly something to keep an eye on, as well as 318 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,399 Speaker 2: what today is, which is tag day across an National 319 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,880 Speaker 2: football league. What this means for the Bengals and what 320 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 2: it means throughout the NFL. We'll dive into that to 321 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,720 Speaker 2: kick things off next on the Home of the Bengals 322 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 2: ESBN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station. 323 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 4: Hey, Alexaport, No one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen 324 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: thirty Cincinnati Sports Station, and. 325 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 5: I will, and it'll be all my goodness sakes destroyed 326 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,920 Speaker 5: by Matt McClain, Oh my goodness of the tree.

I've never you can't unsee what 334 00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 5: he just did. 335 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 2: All right, I'm starting to dip my toes back into 336 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 2: Mount McLean water. 337 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 3: That was the call yesterday on Red's TV featuring John 338 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 3: Saidak Jeff Brantley in a midgame interview with the Skip 339 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 3: Tito Francona with the oh my goodness sakes as Matt 340 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 3: McClain launched one four hundred and twelve feet yep. It 341 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 3: was the first of two three run bombs for McClain, 342 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 3: six RBI for him, had a couple of just strong 343 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:21,119 Speaker 3: walks too, where he was just spitting on pitches, not 344 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 3: interested in that stuff you're throwing outside the zone. Matty 345 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,280 Speaker 3: long pants goes Matty longballs and he's looking lockdown. 346 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 2: We'll spend more time on Red spring training here in 347 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,400 Speaker 2: our number three today. Speaking of baseball though, baseball news 348 00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 2: right now, Austin, Remember Jerrekson Profar? 349 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,880 Speaker 3: I remember him? Did he get in trouble again? 350 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 2: Right now? ESPN reporting that Atlanta Braves d h Jerrikson 351 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: Profar is facing a one hundred and sixty two game 352 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,840 Speaker 2: suspension after testing positive for a for a performance enhancing 353 00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 2: drug for the second time. 354 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 3: I wonder if he went to Magic City. 355 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: So Jerkson Profar, who was a big part of a 356 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: big lineup in Atlanta, that would be a substantial loss 357 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 2: before the season gets underway. I was pounding the table 358 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 2: for without a doubt. Now, probably good that the Reds 359 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 2: missed on that drain. 360 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 3: I would assume that would be the end of one 361 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,200 Speaker 3: Jerrickson Profar's career. 362 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 2: It is tag day across the National Football League. Teams 363 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 2: have until four o'clock this afternoon to place the franchise 364 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 2: tag on their players. One of the dominoes has already 365 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 2: fallen today. The New York Jets have placed the franchise 366 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 2: tag on running back Breese Hall. This is the non 367 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 2: exclusive version, meaning he can negotiate with other teams and 368 00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 2: sign an offer sheet. The Jets have the right of 369 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: first refusal and would receive two first round picks as 370 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 2: compensation if they declined to match a prohibitive price for 371 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 2: a running back. So all in all, Breece Hall is 372 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:06,879 Speaker 2: not going anywhere. 373 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 3: No, wouldn't think so. That would be the third franchise 374 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: tag handed out, the first one to George Pickens in Dallas, 375 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts in Atlanta, and now Brece Hall. I think 376 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:24,720 Speaker 3: there's some wondering about the franchise tag in Indianapolis as well, 377 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 3: on Daniel Jones or Alec Pierce and how they're trying 378 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: to figure out what exactly they want to do with 379 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,160 Speaker 3: those two. I know they've been negotiating with Daniel Jones 380 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:37,400 Speaker 3: for a little while, but I don't know that we're 381 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,959 Speaker 3: going to see many more other than maybe in Indianapolis. 382 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 2: The big name obviously here in Cincinnati is that of 383 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, a franchise tag would put Trey Hendrickson at 384 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 2: thirty point two million dollars. But as Adam Schefter pointed 385 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 2: out earlier today, I don't think Trey Hendrickson has any 386 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 2: idea what's happening today. Schefter said, quote, he's waiting to 387 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 2: see whether or not the Bengals placed the franchise tag 388 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 2: on him. They have not communicated it. He's waiting to hear. 389 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 2: There haven't been any conversation. So, as Schefty went on 390 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 2: to say, Hendrickson sitting in Florida waiting to hear one 391 00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 2: way or another what the Bengals are going to do. 392 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 2: We did talk about and Schefter did also acknowledge that 393 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 2: the Bengals have checked around the league with the idea 394 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:23,800 Speaker 2: to see if teams would be interested in trading for 395 00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, in which case they would tag him and 396 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,440 Speaker 2: tag him to trade him. But from the understanding that 397 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 2: a lot of folks are getting, there just wasn't a 398 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 2: lot of interest in that scenario for Trey Hendrickson. So 399 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:38,320 Speaker 2: the Bengals have a decision to make by four o'clock. 400 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 2: I think at this point Austin at least I would 401 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 2: and I'm not speaking for you, but I would be 402 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 2: shocked if a tag was placed on Trey Hendrickson at 403 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 2: this point, meaning at four o'clock today, he would become 404 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 2: a free agent, and according to most would be one 405 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,919 Speaker 2: of the highest rated free agents available in the NFL. 406 00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 6: Yeah. 407 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 3: I think he's a highly ranked free agent because of 408 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: what he's done over the last couple of years. And 409 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 3: I get that, but when it comes to signing a 410 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 3: guy to a long term extension, you've got to be 411 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 3: able to say he can continue to produce at that 412 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,479 Speaker 3: level for an extended amount of time. That's gonna make 413 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,760 Speaker 3: him worth that money. Yep, Trey is now into his thirties. 414 00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 3: He just suffered a strange injury. He had a core 415 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:24,159 Speaker 3: muscle injury. He had offseason surgery. I don't know that 416 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: teams are looking at him saying, Okay, we're willing to 417 00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 3: commit a ton of money to him. I don't know 418 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 3: that he's not going to get Max Crosby, He's not 419 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 3: gonna get Miles Garrett money. I don't know that he's 420 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 3: going to get Daniel Hunter money. And so his value 421 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: has really cratered, at least from a draft pick compensation point, 422 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 3: especially when you consider picks that are in next year's draft, 423 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 3: because that draft class is stacked, so teams aren't really 424 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,680 Speaker 3: willing to give up certainly picks going into this draft, 425 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,239 Speaker 3: and especially not picks going into next year's draft. And 426 00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 3: so because of all those res I don't know that 427 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 3: there's a ton of value there for Trey Hendrickson. 428 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I. 429 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 3: Don't know that he's going to get the deal that 430 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 3: he wants. 431 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 2: So that's my thought, and that's why I was going 432 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: to go next with this because our guy John Shearon 433 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 2: posts a video on X today and it essentially said, 434 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,960 Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson's going to sign somewhere else, and when he does, 435 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 2: there will be a lot of folks in Cincinnati that say, what, Well, 436 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 2: I can't believe Cincinnati wouldn't pay him that sure, because 437 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 2: it might come across as a very team friendly deal, 438 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 2: to which a lot of people would say, well, how 439 00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:30,920 Speaker 2: can't the Bengals get that done when they need so 440 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 2: much on defense? And that might be the case, or 441 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 2: if you go buy other projections. For an instance, the 442 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 2: athletics Daniel Popper Austin predicted Trey Hendrickson to the Chicago 443 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 2: Bears for a three year ninety nine million dollar deal. Now, 444 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 2: if the Bears or someone went and gave Trey Hendrickson 445 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 2: thirty three million dollars, good for you. You played the 446 00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 2: system and it worked. But I lean to John Shearon's 447 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 2: view of that, in all likelihood, he's not going to 448 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 2: get the money he was hoping. He's gonna sign a 449 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 2: lower deal, and it it's what happens, it will have 450 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 2: people in Cincinnati saying, well, why couldn't the Bengals get 451 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:13,440 Speaker 2: that done? 452 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 6: Well? 453 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,399 Speaker 3: And I think you also might have to keep in 454 00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 3: mind that the price for Trey Hendrickson in Cincinnati the 455 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 3: Bengals price he's charge and may not be the price 456 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 3: he's charging somewhere else, sure, because he may just view 457 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 3: it the same way that maybe the Bengals do, which 458 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,200 Speaker 3: is like, yeah, you know, I don't want to be here, 459 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 3: it's time for a change, and so in order to 460 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: get me to stay, I'm gonna have to charge you 461 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 3: a little bit more. I don't know, but yeah, I 462 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 3: think Trey is gonna get out there and realize, yeah, 463 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 3: people are interested, but nobody's willing to pay me like 464 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:50,959 Speaker 3: the top flight guy that I think I am. And 465 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 3: it's not to take away from Trey. I think a 466 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 3: lot of people have almost like become critical of him 467 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 3: as a player. There's nothing to be critical of Trey 468 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 3: Hendrickson of as a player other than not the best 469 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: run defender. But you can live with that because of 470 00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 3: the crazy amount of sacks and the pressures and the 471 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 3: stuff that he's had to deal with. He's not a 472 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 3: perfect player. He's not at the level in my opinion 473 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,439 Speaker 3: of Crosby and Garrett and some of those others. But 474 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: he's been a really productive player. He's been an incredible 475 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,959 Speaker 3: guy in the community. I mean, I don't know if 476 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,639 Speaker 3: I've said this on the air or not, but I 477 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 3: have a friend who's very young daughter has cancer and 478 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,159 Speaker 3: there've been in and out of the hospital and all 479 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,520 Speaker 3: this stuff dealing with it. In one day, randomly you 480 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:37,520 Speaker 3: get a knock on the door and Trey Henderson shows up. 481 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 3: This was like a month ago, and he's wearing a 482 00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 3: Bengals jersey and he spends time with her and talks 483 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,199 Speaker 3: to the family. This is an unbelievable person off the 484 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 3: field as well. There's no reason to disparage the guy 485 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 3: on the way out of the door. It just feels 486 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: like this has come to an end, and you can't 487 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 3: be mad about it. It's the best free agent signing 488 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 3: in the history of this franchise. 489 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 2: Yep. 490 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: I mean the production you've gotten from him, and obviously 491 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 3: the distractions and stuff that have come with that frustrating 492 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,919 Speaker 3: towards the end. But you can't look back on the 493 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 3: Trey Hendrickson era and say, damn, that wasn't a success. 494 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 3: It was. Yeah, it's just time to move on to me. 495 00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,120 Speaker 2: It just it signifies, or it will signify the end 496 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:32,480 Speaker 2: of a great tenure, but also a I don't want 497 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 2: to say confusing, but just clunky one as well. The 498 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 2: way it's ended, sure, and the way it finished and 499 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 2: the numbers and the way he produced. And you know, 500 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: you asked me before the show today and I go back, 501 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 2: I mean, how looking back on it now, him showing 502 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 2: up to training camp like he was getting ready to 503 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 2: go play eighteen holes, holding his own media account like 504 00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:56,200 Speaker 2: it just it's such a crazy, weird ending, you know. 505 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 2: And here's an organization of the Bengals that did take 506 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 2: a chance on Trey Hendrickson, and yes, they were rewarded 507 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 2: for that, and I think rewarded Trey Hendrickson as well. Sure, 508 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: But what an odd ending to this chapter for the 509 00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:12,160 Speaker 2: Bengals and Trey Hendrickson. Just again how it ended I 510 00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: would have And again, no endings are ever really good. 511 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 2: There's never really the mutual where all sides are happy. 512 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,840 Speaker 2: But what a strange way as this kind of all 513 00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 2: seemingly will be coming to an end over the next 514 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 2: few hours with the Bengals and with Trey Hendrickson. Now 515 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,640 Speaker 2: it draws into light I think the importance of the 516 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 2: Bengals getting it right this offseason and the pressure that 517 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 2: that puts on the team going into next year. Adam 518 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,479 Speaker 2: Schefter joined the folks earlier this morning on Sportsmanlike on 519 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 2: ESPN Radio, and we'll give you a little bit of 520 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,000 Speaker 2: that clip as it pertains to Joe Burrow and the 521 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 2: Bengals when we return.

Before we get to any 532 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 2: of that, a little bit here on Joe Burrow with 533 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: the Bengals, and then your phone calls to finish up 534 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,200 Speaker 2: our number one, So stick with us on hold. We'll 535 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 2: get to those in just a few moments. Earlier this afternoon, 536 00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 2: earlier this morning, if you will right here on this station, 537 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I know, I got. 538 00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 3: A been up for a while. 539 00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 2: I've been up for a long time. When did you 540 00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 2: wake up this morning? Usually I'm about seven o'clock? Okay, 541 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 2: when did you wake up this morning? I'll ask again, 542 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 2: since he didn't answer that question, seven fifteen. Okay, kids 543 00:31:06,480 --> 00:31:10,400 Speaker 2: slept in today. Bearcats have a late start tonight. Will 544 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 2: you be taking a nap? I don't take naps. I 545 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: can't do it. 546 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 3: Okay. 547 00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:16,040 Speaker 2: I feel worse after the nap than before than nap. 548 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 2: This was actually though a piece of audio this morning 549 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 2: on Unsportsmanlike right here on ESPN Radio from Adam Schefter 550 00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:27,160 Speaker 2: as he was talking a little bit about the Bengals 551 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:28,280 Speaker 2: and Joe Burrow. 552 00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:30,440 Speaker 7: I expect Joe Burr to beat Cincinnati and then I 553 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 7: think this year becomes a referendum on what he wants 554 00:31:32,760 --> 00:31:34,200 Speaker 7: to after this year. I think it's a year by year. 555 00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 7: I think if he's happy and Cincinnati, all is good. 556 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 7: I think if there's another rocky year and there's more losing, 557 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 7: all options are on the table. 558 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 2: So short and sweet, that's from Adam Schefter, take with 559 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,480 Speaker 2: it what you want. And again I'm not at the 560 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 2: point where I'm like, Okay, it's it's the Andrew Lucker 561 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,880 Speaker 2: or Joe Burrow's gonna want out of Cincinnati. But whether 562 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 2: that is accurate or not to me Austin that audio clip, 563 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 2: that's how the Bengals have to operate now and going forward. 564 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,520 Speaker 2: That's all I'm asking. The Bengals have to operate with 565 00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: the urgency that if they don't figure this out, they 566 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 2: could mess up what they have at quarterback. 567 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:18,280 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow will not tolerate an aggressive anything other than 568 00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:22,600 Speaker 3: aggressive pursuit of a championship. And if you do not 569 00:32:22,760 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 3: align with what he needs and his philosophy, which should 570 00:32:28,200 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 3: be your philosophy. Correct if these two do not align, 571 00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:34,840 Speaker 3: then who could blame Joe Burrow? 572 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:35,320 Speaker 6: Much? 573 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 3: Like I've said for years, when it comes to Carson Palmer, 574 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 3: Carson Palmer Bengals fans should love him because he was 575 00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 3: demanding more from the organization. And this same situation's happening 576 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,040 Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow if they screw it up again. And 577 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: so the urgency of this offseason cannot be understated. When 578 00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 3: it comes to draft picks, when it comes to free agency, 579 00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,760 Speaker 3: when it comes to extensions, when it comes to coaching decisions, 580 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:06,560 Speaker 3: everything is on the line because if you screw this 581 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:12,800 Speaker 3: up again, you are risking your entire franchise, the face 582 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 3: of your franchise, the future of your franchise, your season 583 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 3: ticket holders, your fan base, your potential future stadium, all 584 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 3: of it hangs in the balance by what you do 585 00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:24,280 Speaker 3: this offseason. 586 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 2: And that's my thing. I don't care who reports it. 587 00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 2: I don't care if it's Adam Schefter. I don't care 588 00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 2: if it's someone local. I don't care if it's someone 589 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 2: that doesn't even live in this country. I don't know 590 00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 2: the lengths in which these other folks know what Joe 591 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 2: Burrow would or wouldn't do. But you hit the nail 592 00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 2: on the head. Anything less than the aggressive pursuit of 593 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 2: a championship, and you're rolling the dice on this becoming 594 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,640 Speaker 2: a reality, and that, to me, among anything else that 595 00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 2: happens this offseason, that should be the driving force on 596 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,600 Speaker 2: which the Bengals operate between now and the start of 597 00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 2: the regular season. Tip of the cap, as we mentioned yesterday, 598 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 2: they made the layup, Dalton Reisner. That's a layup. What 599 00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,680 Speaker 2: else are you going to do? You got to move 600 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,040 Speaker 2: back a little bit, hit a mid range, you got 601 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 2: to hit the free throws, you got to hit a three, 602 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:18,000 Speaker 2: maybe come up with a half court shot, maybe come 603 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,400 Speaker 2: up with something that you don't even see coming. And 604 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,399 Speaker 2: it completely changes the trajectory of where this team is going. 605 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 2: But are you in a position, if you are this 606 00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 2: organization to say, Joe Burrow's happy here, We don't need 607 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:36,040 Speaker 2: to to operate out of our norm You're not. You 608 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:38,600 Speaker 2: have to operate with the urgency that this could be 609 00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 2: a reality if you don't get this fixed. 610 00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 3: You know, Duke Tobin said this week when or last 611 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,240 Speaker 3: week when he was at the Combine that he hasn't 612 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 3: had a chance to sit down with Joe Burrow and 613 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:56,800 Speaker 3: do a full debrief. Huh it's March now. I don't know, 614 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 3: I don't know what you know Joe is doing. He 615 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,480 Speaker 3: says he talks to Joe a lot. That's fine, and 616 00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 3: maybe that to me could be indicative that it could 617 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 3: be slightly overblown because if Joe's not in his office, 618 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:10,920 Speaker 3: or maybe Duke is lying about it and they have 619 00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. But you know what I am most 620 00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 3: interested in, and I believe this will happen, is does 621 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin operate like a guy who feels like he 622 00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 3: has to win now? I should? 623 00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 6: You know. 624 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,560 Speaker 3: I was listening to Lewis Riddick talking about the way 625 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:34,239 Speaker 3: that gms and front offices operate, especially when it comes 626 00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 3: to positional value in the draft, and there are teams 627 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:43,319 Speaker 3: who are thinking years down the line, and we'll say, okay, well, 628 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,359 Speaker 3: I'm not going to take a safety at number ten 629 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 3: because we need the edge rusher. And the Bengals could 630 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,520 Speaker 3: be applicable to this, right Caleb Downs or Reuben Bain. 631 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,400 Speaker 3: We've talked about it a lot. Now, guys that are 632 00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 3: new on the job and have a new head coach 633 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:01,319 Speaker 3: and all this, they might be thinking, Okay, we need 634 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:04,680 Speaker 3: the cheap labor right away. We need to you know, 635 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: we're not gonna worry about years down the line, and 636 00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,400 Speaker 3: we're gonna get the best player available and it might 637 00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:16,880 Speaker 3: be Caleb Downs yep, or there are other guys who 638 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 3: are thinking, shoot, we gotta win right now. I'm not 639 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,440 Speaker 3: worried about that down the line with Caleb Downs and 640 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:24,959 Speaker 3: what he's gonna cost me. I need to get this, dude, 641 00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 3: and that's where the Bengals need to be. That's where 642 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 3: the Bengals need to operate out of I'm curious if 643 00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,920 Speaker 3: Duke Tobin operates that way. Does he operate like a 644 00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 3: guy who knows if I don't fix this, I'm going 645 00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 3: to lose my job. I think that's how Zach Taylor's 646 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:44,000 Speaker 3: operating has to. 647 00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:46,439 Speaker 2: And I think if you're like you mentioned, not having 648 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 2: the conversation, I don't see Joe Burrow as the guy 649 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 2: that's gonna say, dude, can we talk please. I think 650 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 2: Joe's the types are gonna say, Okay, I'm gonna wait, 651 00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:56,000 Speaker 2: I'm gonna sit back, I'm gonna see if things are different. 652 00:36:56,719 --> 00:37:00,480 Speaker 2: I'm gonna see if things are changing, let's see what happens. Yeah, 653 00:37:00,640 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 2: And if that's the case, then Duke should be on 654 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,320 Speaker 2: the phone saying, hey, can we get together. Can we 655 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:08,360 Speaker 2: talk about some things before we really get into the 656 00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,560 Speaker 2: meat of this offseason. That's how I hope it's going, 657 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 2: not the latter.

There are some things 714 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:18,839 Speaker 3: that would have to happen, but next season, next dragon, 715 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:22,319 Speaker 3: not this year. They would get a compensatory pick for Trey, 716 00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 3: depending on if a certain stuff is met, but more 717 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:27,280 Speaker 3: than likely nothing. 718 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:30,480 Speaker 2: Oh my god, Oh my god. 719 00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,920 Speaker 6: All right, that's okay, Yeah, there's about that's about part 720 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:34,919 Speaker 6: for part of course. 721 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, sir, that's That's the thing that I think 722 00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 2: a lot of people are going to wrestle with is well, 723 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,280 Speaker 2: if it got to this point, should they have gotten 724 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,399 Speaker 2: it done last year? And who knows? Like we don't 725 00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,680 Speaker 2: know though, what the offer or what offers ever were 726 00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 2: for Trey Hendrickson. 727 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,239 Speaker 3: I remember talking to people, uh this time last year, 728 00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 3: and they all told me they need to trade him 729 00:40:56,600 --> 00:41:00,480 Speaker 3: right now. And and these are people that I trust, 730 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 3: and I was still over here thinking, okay, well maybe 731 00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:05,200 Speaker 3: the defense will be better and Trey if he can 732 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 3: be all right. But but they all told me they 733 00:41:07,840 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 3: need to trade him right now. His value will never 734 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,080 Speaker 3: be higher and this is why. And they thought that 735 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:14,800 Speaker 3: they were going to be a lot better on defense. 736 00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,080 Speaker 3: They were wrong, yep. And so they've missed the boat 737 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:20,680 Speaker 3: on that and then he got hurt and his value 738 00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:24,160 Speaker 3: cratered and there's just not any more value there for him. 739 00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's where we're at right now. Mark, what's 740 00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 2: going on. 741 00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:30,799 Speaker 6: And how's it going? Two things? I won't to make 742 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,280 Speaker 6: a point about the Reds and I got a Bengals point. 743 00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,680 Speaker 6: My Reds point is I need one more thing. I 744 00:41:37,800 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 6: need a left handed reliever at the back end of 745 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,759 Speaker 6: the bullpee pull pin that can throw some leak because 746 00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 6: I think you need two guys. I think I like 747 00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:49,959 Speaker 6: two guys that can close games out. They they bought 748 00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 6: put Gon back and that was fine. He did a 749 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:55,680 Speaker 6: pretty good job last year except when he had to 750 00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:59,080 Speaker 6: face the middle of the lineup. Okay, but I would 751 00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 6: like a left I could do the same thing because 752 00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:07,160 Speaker 6: I think you need two two guys can. Yeah. And 753 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:11,200 Speaker 6: then on the Bengals front, aside from the players that 754 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 6: they need on defense to help them out, you know, 755 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,600 Speaker 6: aside from the big picture, I would like to see 756 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:21,319 Speaker 6: a philosophy change with them. It's like, if you need 757 00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:25,040 Speaker 6: a guard, let's draft a guard. If you need a safety, 758 00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:30,040 Speaker 6: let's draft a safety. You know, let's stop drafting tackles 759 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,719 Speaker 6: and making them guards. And like with dak Seel, I 760 00:42:33,719 --> 00:42:37,359 Speaker 6: think it was a slock corner in college and then 761 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,799 Speaker 6: they bought him, they drafted him, and then wanted them 762 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 6: to play safety. So aside from all the needs that, 763 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:47,120 Speaker 6: you know, whatever position we need, let's draft that position. 764 00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 6: Like they need a safety. So whoever the best safety 765 00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,840 Speaker 6: is at the time that they're picking. Let's draft the safety. 766 00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:57,880 Speaker 6: Let's not draft a cornerback and Jen try to convert 767 00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 6: him to a safety. You know, how about that that 768 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,400 Speaker 6: novel concept? 769 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, now I get that going forward. 770 00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 6: So that was my point and then I'll get all 771 00:43:07,520 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 6: of this to the rest of the show. 772 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:10,480 Speaker 2: Mark, thank you, And I think that goes to the 773 00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:14,839 Speaker 2: whole conversation about Duke Tobin of biggest need versus best 774 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:19,720 Speaker 2: player available, and can can that mess? Can that match 775 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 2: for this team this year at number ten in the draft? 776 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 2: One more and then we'll get a break and we'll 777 00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 2: get to Joe Danaman. What's up, John? That's a new fellows. 778 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:28,839 Speaker 2: How are you good? 779 00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:29,120 Speaker 10: How are you? 780 00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:32,799 Speaker 11: We're hanging in there, hanging in there and this disastrous 781 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 11: winter we're dealing with. As far as Trey Hendrickson, I 782 00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,399 Speaker 11: would just move on, And as far as a compensatory pick, 783 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 11: I mean that gets kind of worked out in the wash, 784 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,799 Speaker 11: depending on what they do as signing free agency free 785 00:43:45,840 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 11: agents themselves. So you know that's already something that could 786 00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:49,719 Speaker 11: be determined later. 787 00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:51,879 Speaker 3: But I just think it's time to move on from him. 788 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,440 Speaker 11: I think you could spend the money more wisely for 789 00:43:55,560 --> 00:43:58,280 Speaker 11: a younger player and a sending player like Odafe Olway 790 00:43:58,600 --> 00:44:00,919 Speaker 11: from the Trigers, who would probably caught you have the money. 791 00:44:00,960 --> 00:44:03,880 Speaker 11: He's five years younger. He's as sending that to me, 792 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 11: be wiser use of money. And look, the defense at 793 00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,359 Speaker 11: times looked better without him last year. I mean their 794 00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:12,839 Speaker 11: defense played better than the second half of the year, 795 00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:14,880 Speaker 11: or at least the final third of the year. Not 796 00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,000 Speaker 11: saying much, but the final thirty of you compared to 797 00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 11: the first two thirds of the year, and he was 798 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:22,840 Speaker 11: nowhere to be found. And again lack of leadership. I 799 00:44:22,880 --> 00:44:25,160 Speaker 11: mean last year's training camp, like you said, Tony shows 800 00:44:25,239 --> 00:44:27,880 Speaker 11: up looking like he's ready to play golf. And the 801 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:30,560 Speaker 11: year before, te Higgins and Jamar Chase had contract issues, 802 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:32,600 Speaker 11: but they weren't camp the entire time, and they were 803 00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:36,360 Speaker 11: ready to go when they got the contracts done. I 804 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:38,320 Speaker 11: kind of was disappointed that Henderson there's no where to 805 00:44:38,360 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 11: be found for most of this training camp. 806 00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that to me, it just and that's why I 807 00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 2: went back. It was just a weird ending to the 808 00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,399 Speaker 2: Hendrickson tenure in Cincinnati, a tenure that brought a lot 809 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,759 Speaker 2: of good and as Austin said earlier, you can go 810 00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:55,680 Speaker 2: down as arguably the best free agent signing in franchise history. 811 00:44:56,440 --> 00:44:58,960 Speaker 2: Just a weird ending to what at once was a 812 00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:02,280 Speaker 2: very promising and and productive tenure as a Bengal. 813 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,360 Speaker 11: Yeah. I mean, obviously, they're kind of built like the 814 00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:09,000 Speaker 11: Colts were twenty years ago. Great quarterbacks, score a lot 815 00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:10,759 Speaker 11: of points and then have edge rushers that you know, 816 00:45:10,920 --> 00:45:13,880 Speaker 11: kind of close the game that the last couple of 817 00:45:13,960 --> 00:45:15,920 Speaker 11: years haven't been able to do that because they can 818 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 11: never quite get separation because their defense has been so bad. 819 00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,520 Speaker 11: But I think it'd be time to just move on 820 00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:24,760 Speaker 11: and go for someone younger, cheaper, who can be as productive, 821 00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:27,520 Speaker 11: if not more productive, and then obviously, you know, try 822 00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,880 Speaker 11: to build through the draft and whatever other free agents 823 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 11: that you have out there. But I think it'd be 824 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:34,600 Speaker 11: time to move on from Trey because as great as 825 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 11: he's been here, it may just be it's time to 826 00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:36,719 Speaker 11: move on. 827 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's run its course at this point and you 828 00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:43,239 Speaker 2: move on from it. I agree, Thanks Fellows, John, Thank 829 00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:46,680 Speaker 2: you appreciate you. I think that's a good way to 830 00:45:46,719 --> 00:45:47,280 Speaker 2: put at Austin. 831 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 11: It is. 832 00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:51,920 Speaker 2: It's been a good tenure, but it's just it's not 833 00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:53,320 Speaker 2: working in Cincinnati anymore. 834 00:45:53,640 --> 00:45:56,440 Speaker 3: And on top of that, they have failed to adequately 835 00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 3: build around him. Other players haven't developed as quickly. Other 836 00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:03,360 Speaker 3: players hasn't produced the way you've wanted them to. Some 837 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:06,360 Speaker 3: of the other signings haven't quite worked out. And because 838 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 3: of that, instead of dedicating more money to one player, 839 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,600 Speaker 3: you need to dedicate that money to multiple players. It's 840 00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,120 Speaker 3: not just, hey, the Bengals don't like Trey and Trey 841 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 3: doesn't like the Bengals. It's not just he's injured or 842 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 3: he's older. It's, hey, we got to spend this money 843 00:46:21,840 --> 00:46:25,319 Speaker 3: more wisely to make the defense as a whole better. 844 00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:26,920 Speaker 3: It's there's a. 845 00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:31,120 Speaker 2: Lot of layers to it. Yeah, without a doubt, maybe 846 00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,560 Speaker 2: some layers that Joe Daniman can help us peel back 847 00:46:33,800 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 2: as we get to our number two. He joins us 848 00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:41,240 Speaker 2: next eat on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station k WISE. 849 00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 4: Cincinnati, make us the number one pre sent on your 850 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:46,399 Speaker 4: car radio and on the free new and improved iHeartRadio app. 851 00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 4: Free never sounded so good, ESPN fifteen thirty
