Let's do some sports headlines, right. 0:01:19.640 --> 0:01:22.520 So Bengals played the Jets on Sunday at one o'clock. 0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:27.360 Trey Hendrickson officially listed as questionable in today's injury report. 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.440 We'll see if he is good to go for Sunday. 0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:32.440 There seems to be a real sense of optimism that 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:34.640 he'll be on the field. We'll see how many snaps 0:01:34.680 --> 0:01:38.360 we'll see if he starts, but questionable would suggest there's 0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.160 a good chance he does play on Sunday. Bengals and 0:01:41.240 --> 0:01:45.480 Jets on seven hundred WLW pregame coverage on Sunday morning 0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.240 from the Holy Grail with Ken Brew with Tony Pike 0:01:48.320 --> 0:01:51.400 and Me starting at nine am.

The entire football world is waiting with anticipation. 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.040 Is it gonna be Tyrod Taylor, Is it gonna be 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:11.520 justin Fields?

And the 0:04:05.440 --> 0:04:10.360 Kentucky Wildcats are playing an exhibition game against Purdue tonight. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.440 And if my computer were working, I would give you 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.839 the score of that game, but it's not, so there 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:22.080 you go.

There you go, we are loaded today. 0:04:57.200 --> 0:05:00.880 Coming up at about twenty minutes, we're gonna chat with Robert Weintraub, 0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:04.240 who writes a great Bengals column every single week for 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.719 Cincinnati Magazine. You'll hear a conversation with Danny Canell on 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.400 college football. We'll look at the FC Cincinnati Columbus Crew 0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:12.599 series with one of the guys who's going to be 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:15.480 calling in for Apple TV. We'll get a Joe Burrow 0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.640 update of sorts from Ortho Cincy. Coming up a little 0:05:18.640 --> 0:05:20.640 bit later on, I'll tell you why you should root 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.239 for the La Dodgers in the World Series. But first, 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.400 Logan Wilson wants a trade. I want a snow cone 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.280 machine for our studio. Chances are neither one of us 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:33.760 are going to get what we want. But it's okay 0:05:33.760 --> 0:05:36.120 that Logan Wilson has requested a trade. It's okay that 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:40.479 Logan Wilson's playing time has been diminished. We'll get to 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.760 that coming up in five minutes. But first time for 0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:49.000 traffic and weather together. On seven hundred WLW. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:51.440 From the UC Health Traffic Center, Mammograham Safe Lives called 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.760 five one three five eight four pink.

On seventy five, we're sewing as 0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:04.440 you make your way southbound, buying up to the Brent 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.560 Spence Bridge by a seven minute trip to seventy five. 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.880 Traffic at the Carrol Cropper Bridge westbound slows back to 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.720 the Petersburg exit. I'm going to roadwork here and then 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:16.720 southbound traffic is a little sluggish back to you West fifteen. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:20.480 In Indiana, seventy five is sewing as you make your 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.960 way northbound Norway LANDL to Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway 0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:26.880 northbound seventy five Turfway to the Brent Spence about a 0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:32.000 twenty minute trip I'm Rich Remp News Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:06:32.120 --> 0:06:35.480 And the forecast for tonight, increasing clouds at seven am, 0:06:35.600 --> 0:06:38.279 temperature at thirty eight, and we may see some frost. 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.760 As for our Saturday, mostly cloudy a high of fifty 0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.680 seven at night, it stays that way in a lower 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.880 forty three Sunday, an early chance of a shower. And 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.839 you guessed it, mostly cloudy a high at fifty eight. 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:54.520 From your severe weather station, I'm nine First Warning Chief 0:06:54.560 --> 0:07:01.160 Meteorologist Steve Rawley, News Radio seven hundred WLW. 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:07.479 Rising downtown violence and political pressure have catalyzed the chaos 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:13.240 regarding the Cincinnati Police chief. While the interim chief steadies 0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.320 the ship, will community leaders turn to a tried and 0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:19.960 true veteran to become police chief permanently? Or will a 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:22.880 fresh face rise from within the ranks to restore calm 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:26.760 and credibility? As speculation is swirling, keep it here for 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.920 the latest on seven hundred WLW. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:33.800 This report is sponsored by blindster dot com. 0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:34.040 Hi. 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.400 I'm Kyle, founder of blindster dot com. 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:40.040 I started Blindster in twenty ten to make cap by 0:07:40.200 --> 0:07:44.880 Kelsey Chevrolet. On seven hundred WLW. Moeger for Lance McAllister, 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.560 who is going to be back on Monday Night with 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.840 Bengals Line, Bengals and Jets on Sunday one o'clock. So 0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:55.400 stoked think about this. So we do the pregame show 0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:59.000 pregame Sports Talk on Sundays from the Holy Grail before 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:02.840 Bengals home game. If it's like a four o'clock game, 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.640 or you know, we had the Thursday night game last week, 0:08:05.920 --> 0:08:08.160 so I was on with Lance and Rocky Boyman. That 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.160 was a lot of fun. Then the home game before 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.360 that was like a four to twenty five game. And 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:14.800 so when that's the case, Ken Brew does his show 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:16.960 in the morning from nine to noon, and then Tony 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:20.320 Pike and I take over from noon to three. When 0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:23.200 it's a one o'clock game, you get Ken, Me and Tony. 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:26.280 It's a blast. I have fun no matter what. But 0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.920 it's a blast on Sunday Mornings with Ken, Tony and 0:08:28.960 --> 0:08:32.120 Mo the Bengals. I just spoke myself in the third person. 0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:35.640 Bengals haven't had a one o'clock home game since Week two. 0:08:36.080 --> 0:08:39.280 So think of everything that has changed with the Cincinnati 0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:44.360 Bengals and to a degree our radio station, but mainly 0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:47.280 everything that has happened to the Cincinnati Bengals since the 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.360 last Sunday morning that Ken Brew, Tony Pike and I 0:08:50.400 --> 0:08:52.120 had a chance to sit down and do a show 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.199 when we were getting ready for the Bengals Jags game, 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:57.640 which was Week two. We're at the Holy Grail. We 0:08:57.640 --> 0:09:01.120 were talking about Joe Burrow playing against Jack and the 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.199 opportunity to get off to a two and zero start, 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:05.840 which was certainly going to set the stage for a 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:09.120 great season. We know what has happened since Joe Flacco 0:09:09.240 --> 0:09:11.880 is going to play his third game for Cincinnati against 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:14.560 god knows who a quarterback for the New York Jets. 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.360 Big story this week, and really I think the big 0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:21.679 story last week that didn't involve Joe Flacco was what 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:24.880 the Bengals are doing on defense, reducing the playing time 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:29.080 for Logan Wilson and giving Barrett Carter, who they drafted 0:09:29.080 --> 0:09:31.679 out of Clemson this year, a chance to play every 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:35.240 single snap. We all like Logan Wilson. Logan Wilson has 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:40.000 requested a trade. My guess is Logan Wilson doesn't get traded, 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.720 and I am also when Zach Taylor talked about this 0:09:42.760 --> 0:09:45.440 a little bit this week. You can request a trade 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.800 like there's a lot of things you can request from 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:50.840 your boss. You're still expected to show up, be professional, 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:53.840 be a good teammate, get your work done, do what 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:56.719 you need to do. And my expectation, I think our 0:09:56.840 --> 0:09:59.960 expectation for Logan Wilson is the same as the teams. 0:10:00.360 --> 0:10:02.920 He's certainly not happy with not playing as much. You 0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.840 cannot blame him. You can't blame him for requesting a trade. 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:09.760 There's a lot of things I can request. I've requested 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.160 a snow cone machine in our studio for the last 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:12.920 seven years. 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.679 I can request it. 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.040 Doesn't mean I'm gonna get it, And so Logan Wilson 0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.040 can request a trade. I think what we've come to 0:10:19.080 --> 0:10:22.520 expect from Logan is that on Sunday he's not going 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:24.800 to be thinking about the trade request when he is 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:26.840 on the field. And by the way, he was on 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:30.360 the field for forty six percent of the defensive snaps 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.600 in the Pittsburgh game. When he is on the field, 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.679 when he is getting ready to play on Sunday, that 0:10:36.040 --> 0:10:38.760 his job has his full and undivided attention, that's what 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:41.680 we all expect. I don't think there should be any 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.840 problem with this. The NFL is a league that's really 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.760 all about two things. It's all about superstars and cheap labor. 0:10:51.320 --> 0:10:55.920 Bengals have superstars. Joe Burrow may hurt him. Jamar Chase 0:10:55.960 --> 0:11:01.320 reigning AFC Offensive Player of the Week, just spectacular against 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:05.760 Pittsburgh eight days ago, Te Higgins, Trey Hendrickson. Those are stars, 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:09.560 and you're seeing more and more stars are getting more 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.719 and more guaranteed money. Right, you've seen that. What has 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.640 become a common part of the way we talk about 0:11:15.640 --> 0:11:19.280 this league is the verbiage highest paid non quarterback in 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:23.640 the NFL, which Jamar Chase was for about five minutes. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:27.760 So you have all this money going to stars, which 0:11:27.800 --> 0:11:30.199 puts a premium on cheap labor, the cheap labor in 0:11:30.240 --> 0:11:33.160 the NFL or draft picks, and the middle class player 0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:36.640 is to a degree kind of getting squeezed out. So 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:40.000 all right, you're paying your stars, and then you need 0:11:40.000 --> 0:11:43.480 your cheap labor to produce, need your cheap labor to help, 0:11:44.720 --> 0:11:47.040 You need those guys to help Earlier than ever. We 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.240 talked about this draft class this year for the Bengals 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:52.880 making an immediate impact, making an instant impact, Right, that 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.320 wasn't just Shamar Stewart. Shamar Stewart has yet to make 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.600 much of an impact. Injuries are a major reason why. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.559 Hopefully he's on the field on Sunday better than he 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:03.000 did against Pittsburgh when you could barely notice him. We 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:06.760 talked about this draft class needing to make an immediate impact. 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:11.160 The greater likelihood of that happening occurs when all the 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.600 draft picks play. Now. You obviously don't want to run 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:16.360 guys out there just to run them out there. You 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:18.240 want to make them earn their playing time. You want 0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:21.280 to make them, you know, have a chance to actually 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.760 succeed when he put them out there. But like, I 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.520 don't know, I've watched the Bengals defense with Logan Wilson, 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:28.920 and we all like Logan Wilson. Right. He was a 0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.880 big part of the twenty twenty one team. He's been 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.120 a big part of whatever success the Bengals have had 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:37.680 since they drafted him out of Wyoming. But the Bengals 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:40.760 defense is stunk for a while. Logan Wilson's been on 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.320 that defense for a while. Logan Wilson might not necessarily 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.080 be a bad player, but he certainly hasn't played to 0:12:47.080 --> 0:12:49.440 the level that is helping this defense pull itself out 0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.320 of what has been a multi year funk. So you 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.719 can't blame a defensive coordinator for looking for solutions. They 0:12:55.760 --> 0:12:58.839 believe Barrett Carter is a solution. They drafted him to 0:12:58.880 --> 0:13:01.360 be a solution. They looked at this draft class and 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.360 understandably so is one where they need to get an 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.840 immediate impact. So then what's the problem with playing Barrett Carter. Now, 0:13:09.080 --> 0:13:10.839 we talked about this on that show at the Grail 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.480 last week with Rocky Boyman and Lance, and we had 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:16.000 a good discussion about, well, you're playing against Aaron Rodgers 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:19.600 with two rookie linebackers. Unfortunately, in a league that's all 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:22.880 about cheap labor, and when you're a team that sits 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:25.559 out free agency the way the Bengals did this offseason, 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.079 it puts a heavier emphasis on draft picks. And when 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:31.679 you emphasize draft picks, you are willing to deal with 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:35.880 whatever mistakes they make. I think it's totally within reason 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:39.800 to say to Barrett Carter, gain experience, make the mistakes, 0:13:39.960 --> 0:13:42.000 make the corrections, and by the second half of the 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:46.360 season then we'll come to payoff. And like maybe Al 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:49.439 Golden looks at it this way, maybe Zach Taylor does too. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:51.760 I don't know about you, but I'm kind of willing 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.960 to put up with whatever growing pains there are in 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.360 the context of a defense that needs more than just 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.319 a different linebacker in order to be completely fixed. I'm 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:04.959 kind of okay with putting up with the growing pains 0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:08.520 that come from gaining experience, the growing pains that come 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.040 with giving a guy who just got drafted a chance 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:15.080 to play every single snap. If I believe there's going 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.360 to be a payoff a little bit later on, and 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:19.520 so I think this is the hope, And this may 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:21.800 not be what happens, but I think this is the hope. 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:24.920 You take Barrett Carter and Demetrius Night, and obviously the 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.480 Bengals are playing other rookies as well. Jalen Rivers got 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.720 a chance to start against Pittsburgh and played okay, And 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.600 you know, Dylan Fairchild obviously started the first game of 0:14:32.640 --> 0:14:39.080 the season. If playing these guys in October means that 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:43.720 by the time we get to December, or maybe by 0:14:43.720 --> 0:14:46.480 the time that Joe Flacco turns into a pumpkin, or 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.480 maybe by the time that Joe Burrow comes back, this 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:53.520 defense can perform better and actually win games for them, 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.320 I'm willing to put up with those short term mistakes 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:57.600 now in real time. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:58.400 That's frustrating. 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.480 In real time, watching Barrett Carter maybe not be in 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:06.119 the right spot, frustrating, Watching Demetrius Knight misatackle frustrating. 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:07.080 But you drafted those guys. 0:15:07.080 --> 0:15:09.680 You drafted those guys to play those guys, and you 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.880 drafted those guys to play those guys asap understanding there 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.160 were gonna be rookie mistakes. The inability to build a 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.640 better defense around those guys, to me, doesn't mean you 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.480 still don't give those guys a chance, especially if in 0:15:21.480 --> 0:15:24.560 Barrett Carter's case, he's replacing a guy who wasn't making 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.240 a ton of plays. So this, to me becomes the story. 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:31.160 I don't know about you. They're playing younger dudes, they're 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.200 playing two rookie linebackers, and again, Logan Wilson still plays 0:15:34.240 --> 0:15:37.160 a lot, But they're going sink or swim with Demetrius 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:40.640 Knight and Barrett Carter right now. And you understand that 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:44.200 there's a downside that comes with that. Does the upside 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:48.120 come later on this season? And when the upside does 0:15:48.160 --> 0:15:50.440 come later on this season, is that going to be 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.960 enough to help make a difference We'll see six point 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:56.720 thirty on seven hundred WLWR.

Yeah, it's it should be interesting. 0:23:26.160 --> 0:23:28.480 I mean, now that Joe Flacco is the is the 0:23:28.560 --> 0:23:31.879 hero by the banks of the Ohio, it's taken on 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:34.439 a slightly different turn than we probably expected if we 0:23:34.480 --> 0:23:35.919 had heard that a couple of weeks ago when they 0:23:35.920 --> 0:23:37.120 first made the trade for him. 0:23:37.280 --> 0:23:39.560 And let's face it, I mean, it's. 0:23:39.440 --> 0:23:41.920 Given the team hope. He's given all of us fans 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:45.520 something to look forward to. Instead of dreading a Bengals 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:48.240 Jets encounter in mid October, we're actually fired up. 0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.399 It's the ring of on our weekend. I mean, you know, 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:53.760 it's it's amazing how the season has turned yet again. 0:23:54.080 --> 0:23:58.200 Yeah, from incredible hope to incredible despair and then right 0:23:58.280 --> 0:24:00.119 back you know, on the on the royal coach to 0:24:00.160 --> 0:24:01.200 arrive upward again. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.200 So thank goodness for Joe Flacco. Never thought I'd say 0:24:04.240 --> 0:24:05.479 those words, but here we are. 0:24:05.560 --> 0:24:07.600 Here we are now. When the Bengals were getting set 0:24:07.640 --> 0:24:09.359 to play the Browns in the first game, which was 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.080 going to be Burrow versus Flacco, I did not imagine 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:15.160 I would be asking this question at any point, not 0:24:15.280 --> 0:24:17.840 just this season, at any point ever. But now I've 0:24:17.880 --> 0:24:20.560 got to ask it. What can Joe Burrow learn from 0:24:20.600 --> 0:24:21.560 watching Joe Flacco. 0:24:23.160 --> 0:24:25.760 It's very true, That's what I mean. Two months later 0:24:25.800 --> 0:24:26.440 and here we are. 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:29.800 It's a crazy world. Well, there's a few things. 0:24:29.880 --> 0:24:30.160 I mean. 0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:33.120 Certainly when you saw those shots at Burrow watching from 0:24:33.119 --> 0:24:36.520 the bench looking pretty dejected on Thursday night against the Steelers, 0:24:37.000 --> 0:24:40.320 you had to be thinking about what was crossing Burrow's mind, 0:24:40.320 --> 0:24:43.280 Maybe his football mortality. You know, he's talked about how 0:24:43.800 --> 0:24:45.840 he's been the league for six seasons and he can't 0:24:45.960 --> 0:24:48.480 believe it's gone so fast. But you know, we don't 0:24:48.480 --> 0:24:50.240 think about it all that often, but we kind of 0:24:50.280 --> 0:24:52.320 assume in the back of our minds, Joe Burrow will 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:55.760 still beat the Bengals quarterback at age thirty five plus, right, 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:59.160 And you know, the only way that seems sustainable right now, 0:24:59.400 --> 0:25:01.399 after what's happened to him over the first part of 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.560 his career is to maybe play a little bit more 0:25:03.560 --> 0:25:06.640 like Joe Flacco and to be you know, a little 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.280 bit more self preservation in the pocket and a little 0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:13.480 bit quicker, to you know, get out of plays when 0:25:13.480 --> 0:25:16.600 they aren't ready for a superman ending and just move 0:25:16.640 --> 0:25:17.600 on to the next one. 0:25:17.680 --> 0:25:20.119 And perhaps even you know. 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:23.560 Take a little bit of that Flacco humility and kind 0:25:23.560 --> 0:25:26.480 of I don't want to say gratefulness maybe is the 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:29.359 right word, and and put that into his personality. We 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:33.080 love Joe Burrow for his cockiness, confidence, you know, kind 0:25:33.080 --> 0:25:34.320 of mystique that he has. 0:25:34.600 --> 0:25:37.280 But you know, maybe he's thinking to himself, that's. 0:25:37.080 --> 0:25:40.000 A young man's thing, and being around Joe Flacco, who's 0:25:40.160 --> 0:25:42.600 just you know, has a smile on his face ever 0:25:42.640 --> 0:25:44.639 since he got the Cincinnati and you can see how 0:25:45.400 --> 0:25:48.280 just how amazing amazed he is to still be playing 0:25:48.280 --> 0:25:48.960 and playing. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:50.320 At such a high level at this age is a 0:25:50.320 --> 0:25:52.480 good thing. And you know it's not because he has. 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:55.639 The the Tom Brady avocado ice cream diet or the 0:25:56.480 --> 0:25:59.160 Aaron Rodgers megl omania keeping him going at this point. 0:25:59.200 --> 0:26:02.199 You know, he's just kind of of even sustained himself 0:26:02.240 --> 0:26:04.560 by playing smart and doing. 0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.560 What he knows he can do and nothing more. And 0:26:06.600 --> 0:26:09.720 I think, you know, Burrow can probably hopefully take. 0:26:09.600 --> 0:26:11.439 A little bit from that. And you know, he's never 0:26:11.520 --> 0:26:13.800 really had a mentor in the room with him all 0:26:13.880 --> 0:26:15.600 this time. He stepped in and was the guy from 0:26:15.680 --> 0:26:19.000 day one, and you know, maybe there's a good opportunity 0:26:19.040 --> 0:26:20.320 for him even if been only last. 0:26:20.119 --> 0:26:22.560 A couple of months. To have an old hand like 0:26:22.640 --> 0:26:25.199 Joe Flacker around to learn from and learn about things, 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:27.640 not just about playing quarterback, but about, you know, kind 0:26:27.680 --> 0:26:30.720 of being a professional football player overall. Be interesting to 0:26:30.720 --> 0:26:32.480 see if he takes any lessons from it, for sure. 0:26:32.560 --> 0:26:35.359 Yeah, I agree. It helps to have Jamar, Chase and 0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:37.600 t Higgins to throw to. It also helps when your 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:39.359 team can run the ball. And to me, you know 0:26:39.440 --> 0:26:41.320 that for most of us at least was the outlier 0:26:41.840 --> 0:26:45.440 against Pittsburgh. The running game, which have been dormant, non existent, 0:26:45.640 --> 0:26:48.240 made us wonder should they even try to run the football? 0:26:48.600 --> 0:26:50.679 It made an appearance and made an appearance in a 0:26:50.680 --> 0:26:52.399 big way. Is that going to prove to be a 0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.359 one offer or that? Can that prove to be something sustainable? 0:26:56.520 --> 0:26:59.119 Yeah, it was so strange to see, you know, Chase 0:26:59.119 --> 0:27:02.440 Brown being from behind. I didn't you know, I don't 0:27:02.480 --> 0:27:04.439 know if he even recognized the feeling. It was so 0:27:04.920 --> 0:27:06.879 nice and long last you could just see all the 0:27:06.920 --> 0:27:09.840 players after the lineman and brought himself just kind of 0:27:09.880 --> 0:27:14.040 like screaming with relief after they finally got some decent plays. 0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:14.200 On the ground. 0:27:14.680 --> 0:27:16.560 It'll be tricky against the Jets, because the Jets have 0:27:16.560 --> 0:27:18.320 a really good run defense. That's about the only thing 0:27:18.359 --> 0:27:20.440 they do well right now, a third in the league 0:27:20.440 --> 0:27:23.720 in DBA against the run. And you know, the Panthers 0:27:23.720 --> 0:27:26.120 want a heater on the ground. And they didn't shut 0:27:26.200 --> 0:27:28.959 him down entirely, but they they held him under four 0:27:29.040 --> 0:27:29.919 yards of carry. 0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:32.040 Last week, and I think they'll look at it the 0:27:32.040 --> 0:27:32.560 same way. 0:27:32.760 --> 0:27:35.600 It's you know, we're playing without Sauce Gardner and we 0:27:35.680 --> 0:27:38.720 haven't had much success stopping teams passing the ball, and 0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.040 you know, we don't want the Bengals to be able 0:27:42.080 --> 0:27:43.720 to have a balance attack on So let's see if 0:27:43.760 --> 0:27:46.120 Joe Flacco can keep it up and make him throw 0:27:46.160 --> 0:27:49.080 forty times and you know, maybe he makes a mistake 0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:51.520 and reverts back to the old Joe Flacco, or that 0:27:51.600 --> 0:27:54.080 Joe Flacco hasn't been as effective as we've seen him 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:55.080 in the last couple of weeks. 0:27:55.119 --> 0:27:57.959 I think going forward, just the mere fact that they 0:27:57.960 --> 0:28:01.160 can run. They ran the ball twenty three times last week. 0:28:01.400 --> 0:28:04.200 It's it's the keeping to it and that's what having 0:28:04.200 --> 0:28:07.280 Flacco in the game, you know, it as good as he's. 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:10.800 Been in the passing when full called him on the pass. 0:28:11.240 --> 0:28:13.160 You know, it's you get a balance. 0:28:12.840 --> 0:28:13.240 Out of him. 0:28:13.240 --> 0:28:15.560 You don't want to expose him as much as you 0:28:15.600 --> 0:28:17.679 would Joe Burrow. You don't want a default to the 0:28:17.720 --> 0:28:19.919 passing game quite as often as you were attempted to 0:28:20.000 --> 0:28:21.560 with Burrow because he's so great at it. 0:28:21.960 --> 0:28:23.760 And you know, just give. 0:28:23.600 --> 0:28:26.359 The lineman a little bit of rhythm. They're still playing 0:28:26.400 --> 0:28:29.080 with the young rookie guards and with you know, they 0:28:29.160 --> 0:28:32.520 barely have had the same five guys play all. 0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:34.960 You know, every snap for more than one week in 0:28:34.960 --> 0:28:35.320 a row. 0:28:35.720 --> 0:28:38.120 Give them a little rhythm, give them a little chance 0:28:38.200 --> 0:28:41.080 to establish a you know, kind of straight ahead style 0:28:41.320 --> 0:28:44.840 and not be backtracking constantly in pass protection. 0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:46.880 And maybe they give you a couple of games like this. 0:28:46.960 --> 0:28:48.320 I'm not saying they're going to all of a sudden 0:28:48.400 --> 0:28:51.400 turn into you know, Nicky woodch James Brooks style team 0:28:51.400 --> 0:28:52.240 where he can run. 0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:54.000 For three hundred yards week in and week out, but 0:28:55.440 --> 0:28:57.120 you know, you like to think they could at least 0:28:57.120 --> 0:28:58.680 sustain some relative. 0:28:58.280 --> 0:29:00.600 Success on the ground out, just make things much easier 0:29:00.640 --> 0:29:01.640 for Flata on the offense. 0:29:01.800 --> 0:29:04.360 Robert Win Trump is with this catches weekly Bengals column 0:29:04.480 --> 0:29:08.240 Cincinnati Magazine dot com. Is there a Joe Flacco for 0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:11.280 the Bengals defense. Who is it and is that player 0:29:11.360 --> 0:29:12.280 currently on the roster? 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:16.160 You mean, like an old guy who likes to eat 0:29:16.160 --> 0:29:18.800 by himself in the restaurant reveling and this you found 0:29:18.800 --> 0:29:22.240 Freedom's exactly like that. 0:29:22.320 --> 0:29:24.720 Yeah. I mean there's guys out. 0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:26.840 There who are still you know, sitting on their couch 0:29:26.880 --> 0:29:29.280 show to speak, that might provide a little bit of help. 0:29:29.400 --> 0:29:32.200 Guys that we talked about at the safety even before 0:29:32.240 --> 0:29:35.640 the season, during the offseason. Justin Simmons is still unsigned. 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:39.360 Marcus Williams who played for the Ravens uh and was 0:29:39.440 --> 0:29:42.000 released and is still out there. You know, guys like that. 0:29:42.120 --> 0:29:44.280 You might even you know, kick the tires on a 0:29:44.320 --> 0:29:48.120 guy like a Sante Samuel see if he's healthy. Christian Wilkins, 0:29:48.160 --> 0:29:50.760 who was really the name that always I think. 0:29:50.560 --> 0:29:53.640 About as a guy who if he's available to play. 0:29:53.680 --> 0:29:55.800 You know, he has a lawsuit going against the Raiders, 0:29:55.800 --> 0:29:58.680 I guess in the NFLPA, but you. 0:29:58.640 --> 0:30:00.640 Know, I know it ended badly there. But this is 0:30:00.680 --> 0:30:04.080 still a really talented guy who signed a humongous contract 0:30:04.080 --> 0:30:06.320 to go play in Las Vegas, and she's. 0:30:06.120 --> 0:30:08.120 Just kind of out there and available or knows the 0:30:08.200 --> 0:30:11.400 Bengals could use some interior defensive line help. I don't 0:30:11.400 --> 0:30:14.520 know if there's anybody who could be as transformative, whether 0:30:14.520 --> 0:30:16.720 he's on the team right now or not on the 0:30:16.760 --> 0:30:19.160 defense as Flacula has been just by the nature of 0:30:19.160 --> 0:30:22.720 the position. Obviously, get a quarterback who can control the 0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.000 game and everything looks so much different. It's not quite 0:30:25.000 --> 0:30:28.040 the same thing on defense, but you know, they obviously 0:30:28.040 --> 0:30:28.560 could use. 0:30:28.440 --> 0:30:31.800 Some extra players back there. What they have right now 0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:32.880 is not working. 0:30:32.920 --> 0:30:36.200 Particularly, they're the worst team, worst defense in the league 0:30:36.200 --> 0:30:39.600 by DVOA, so you know, even just bodies, and they 0:30:39.600 --> 0:30:41.960 haven't really been beat up yet. You know, that's what 0:30:42.080 --> 0:30:44.200 really scares me is if some of the front line 0:30:44.240 --> 0:30:49.440 players go down, obviously Trey Hendrickson notwithstanding, you know, they 0:30:49.440 --> 0:30:51.680 haven't really had the things that they've seen in the 0:30:51.720 --> 0:30:54.120 years past where an entire position group gets wiped out 0:30:54.160 --> 0:30:56.080 and you start to go with practice squad guys. So 0:30:56.480 --> 0:30:58.960 they couldn't hurt at least in these next couple of 0:30:59.000 --> 0:31:02.000 weeks before the trade in line to sniff around another squads, 0:31:02.000 --> 0:31:04.200 and also, you know, think about some of these other 0:31:04.240 --> 0:31:06.560 free agents who at least could bring some betteran savvy 0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:08.680 and know how that we talk about with Flaco to 0:31:08.760 --> 0:31:10.360 the defensive side of the ball and get some of 0:31:10.360 --> 0:31:13.240 these kids, you know, yeah, a little bit sorted out 0:31:13.320 --> 0:31:16.440 and not running around and being at a position quite 0:31:16.440 --> 0:31:19.160 so much like we saw say from Gino Stone. 0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:22.239 Oh last minutes of the game against the Steelers. I 0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:23.520 know we don't want to think about it, but I 0:31:23.560 --> 0:31:25.600 can't get that play out of my mind every time 0:31:25.600 --> 0:31:27.680 I close my eyes. What are you doing? Man? 0:31:27.880 --> 0:31:31.680 Yeah, I've asked that about Genostone often during his year 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.000 and a half with the With the Bengals, you talk 0:31:34.040 --> 0:31:37.520 about the kids, so like all of these draft picks 0:31:37.520 --> 0:31:40.040 are playing, which right we talked about in April. They 0:31:40.120 --> 0:31:42.840 need instant impact from their draft choices. They're trying to 0:31:42.840 --> 0:31:45.920 get it. You know, Shamar Stewart was physically on the 0:31:45.920 --> 0:31:48.880 field against Pittsburgh, didn't do much of anything. They've obviously 0:31:48.920 --> 0:31:52.720 given extensive playing times Dylan Fairchild and Demetrius Knight. Barrett 0:31:52.760 --> 0:31:56.520 Carter has obviously seen a huge uptick in his snap count. 0:31:56.640 --> 0:31:58.640 He's gotten all of them. The last couple of weeks, 0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:01.400 we saw Jalen Rivers and so I guess what I'm 0:32:01.400 --> 0:32:06.000 wondering is can can the growing pains that some of 0:32:06.040 --> 0:32:08.880 these guys are going through. Can that Can that pay 0:32:08.960 --> 0:32:11.360 dividends in November and December? 0:32:12.840 --> 0:32:15.040 I mean, boy, you'd like to think so. I mean, 0:32:15.320 --> 0:32:18.640 just from a sheer like mental where am I supposed 0:32:18.680 --> 0:32:20.880 to be? How do I take care of my body 0:32:21.520 --> 0:32:24.160 to get through from week to week? Where do I 0:32:24.440 --> 0:32:26.040 you know, who do I lean on in the huddle 0:32:26.080 --> 0:32:27.440 to figure. 0:32:27.120 --> 0:32:30.400 Out which which switch I'm supposed to make? In communications wise? 0:32:30.840 --> 0:32:34.440 All those things obviously require playing reps, and that's good 0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:36.440 that you want the young players to get that as 0:32:36.520 --> 0:32:39.760 much as possible. Then, on the other hand, there's. 0:32:39.560 --> 0:32:42.480 The dreaded rookie wall that we hear about so much, 0:32:42.480 --> 0:32:44.280 and the fact that a lot of these young players 0:32:44.360 --> 0:32:47.760 tend to fall off come the winter months because they're 0:32:47.800 --> 0:32:50.000 just now used to the grind of a long, long 0:32:50.200 --> 0:32:53.200 NFL season. I remember what lou An Rumo said about 0:32:53.240 --> 0:32:54.640 DJ Turner once was that. 0:32:54.560 --> 0:32:55.600 He didn't hit the rookie wall. 0:32:55.640 --> 0:32:57.120 The rookie wall hit him. 0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.760 And that was just an extreme example, but that happens 0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:03.280 all around the league. You rarely see rookie players have 0:33:03.600 --> 0:33:06.960 you know, a continue Game one, the game seventeen impact 0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:10.880 because of the sheer just mental and physical exhaustion and 0:33:11.040 --> 0:33:15.120 grind the weak tends to extol. So yes, in terms 0:33:15.160 --> 0:33:17.640 of that, I mean, I think, you know, if they 0:33:17.680 --> 0:33:20.720 can stay healthy and they can stay mentally and physically engaged, 0:33:20.800 --> 0:33:21.880 it should have a payoff. 0:33:21.920 --> 0:33:22.800 And they should be. 0:33:22.760 --> 0:33:25.760 Able to get more used to what they are expected 0:33:25.800 --> 0:33:28.520 to do, and they'll be more more used to playing 0:33:28.560 --> 0:33:30.440 with one another, and that can only help. 0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:32.800 But you know, inevitably. 0:33:32.280 --> 0:33:36.160 Injury set in, and you know, young players don't tend 0:33:36.200 --> 0:33:39.160 to be able to be consistent, and that's part of 0:33:39.200 --> 0:33:41.960 the issue. So and we've seen it already, it's hard 0:33:42.000 --> 0:33:45.120 to see it really improving over the course of a season. 0:33:45.160 --> 0:33:48.320 Maybe nominally, but you know, it's hard to see there's 0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:49.960 gonna be a real payoff for all of a sudden. 0:33:49.960 --> 0:33:53.000 Shamar Stewart is a is an All Pro level player 0:33:53.640 --> 0:33:54.360 by December. 0:33:54.440 --> 0:33:56.320 I'm not sure we're going to see that necessarily. But 0:33:56.360 --> 0:33:57.480 you know, as long as they can stay in the 0:33:57.480 --> 0:33:59.760 field and be healthy, all these reps can only help them. 0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:04.320 Going, no question and well said Robert Wintrop Bengals column. 0:34:04.360 --> 0:34:07.560 Read it now, Cincinnati Magazine dot Com, read it every week, 0:34:07.920 --> 0:34:10.080 and listen to him every week with me on the 0:34:10.120 --> 0:34:12.560 other station down the hall on Thursdays at four twenty 0:34:12.600 --> 0:34:15.560 on ESPN fifteen thirty.

Al Moeger in for Lance McAllister. 0:36:16.320 --> 0:36:21.279 This is RNL Carrier Sports Talk. Seven hundred WLWW are 0:36:21.320 --> 0:36:24.520 presented by Kelsey Chevrolet. Game one of the World Series 0:36:24.600 --> 0:36:28.279 is tonight in Toronto, and I feel like outside of 0:36:28.320 --> 0:36:31.439 Southern California, all of America is rooting for a team 0:36:31.480 --> 0:36:34.800 from Canada, which is fine. David Bell works for the 0:36:34.840 --> 0:36:36.880 Blue Jays, which is kind of cool. He's got a 0:36:36.960 --> 0:36:38.319 chance to get a World Series ring. 0:36:38.360 --> 0:36:38.839 Good for him. 0:36:38.880 --> 0:36:42.880 Like David Bell. Not unhappy that he's not the manager anymore, 0:36:42.880 --> 0:36:44.920 but I like David Bell. I'm rooting for a good series. 0:36:44.960 --> 0:36:47.120 I'm not rooting against the Dodgers, and I think I'm 0:36:47.120 --> 0:36:49.080 in the minority. We are going to get to that 0:36:49.120 --> 0:36:50.799 coming up at seven oh five. Lots more on the 0:36:50.800 --> 0:36:53.680 Bengals in a bit, and Danny Canell's going to talk 0:36:53.719 --> 0:36:55.920 some college football with us coming up at seven twenty 0:36:56.360 --> 0:36:59.200 as we get set for UC and Baylor and other 0:36:59.320 --> 0:37:03.640 area school tomorrow. I got like two and a half 0:37:03.640 --> 0:37:08.280 minutes here, I'll be honest with you. Logan Wilson asking 0:37:08.280 --> 0:37:10.720 for a trade is interesting in the Bengals and Jets, 0:37:10.760 --> 0:37:13.400 It's an interesting game. Joe Flacco's interesting. The Bengals are 0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:15.520 an interesting team right now. Hey not right now in 0:37:15.560 --> 0:37:19.640 sports happening, that's as interesting as the NBA betting scandal. 0:37:20.360 --> 0:37:24.319 And you know you've you've you've got players who are 0:37:24.360 --> 0:37:29.800 sharing inside information on injuries and taking themselves out of games. 0:37:29.840 --> 0:37:31.759 And if you you know, many are going to blame 0:37:31.800 --> 0:37:35.320 the fact that gambling is legal now, and that's the problem. 0:37:35.440 --> 0:37:37.319 That's the issue. The If you want to get rid 0:37:37.320 --> 0:37:41.319 of gambling scandals inside a sports league, what you do 0:37:41.400 --> 0:37:43.279 is you get rid of the draft, because if you 0:37:43.280 --> 0:37:45.160 get rid of the draft, you get rid of tanking 0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:47.600 at issue here with a lot of these teams that 0:37:47.640 --> 0:37:50.800 were involved in the games in question, we're talking about 0:37:50.800 --> 0:37:54.000 teams who are already out of playoff contention, who are 0:37:54.000 --> 0:37:57.080 doing nothing more than playing for the reward of the 0:37:57.120 --> 0:38:00.400 best possible draft pick or the best possible pass in 0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.080 the NBA's draft lottery. Get rid of the draft, you 0:38:03.120 --> 0:38:06.160 get rid of tanking. I promise you, you get rid of 0:38:06.200 --> 0:38:10.080 a lot of gambling improprieties. The bigger one, though, for me, 0:38:11.719 --> 0:38:16.719 is the one involving Portland Trailblazers head coach Chauncey Billips, 0:38:17.760 --> 0:38:22.600 where he was involved in a scheme backed and executed 0:38:22.640 --> 0:38:26.040 by the mafia, and like not the Mafia in like 0:38:26.760 --> 0:38:29.879 I don't know, Toledo, like the Five Families, the real 0:38:29.920 --> 0:38:34.160 Mafia New York. The coach of the Blazers, who's a 0:38:34.200 --> 0:38:37.160 Hall of Fame player, Chauncey Billups was involved in a 0:38:37.200 --> 0:38:42.120 poker scheme that targeted victims who were lord to participate 0:38:42.160 --> 0:38:44.440 in poker games because they were given the chance to 0:38:44.480 --> 0:38:49.520 play alongside professional athletes like Chauncey Billups and Damon Jones 0:38:49.520 --> 0:38:51.160 who played for a long time in the NBA. And 0:38:51.200 --> 0:38:56.279 the FBI says the defendants utilized altered shuffling machines to 0:38:56.360 --> 0:38:59.160 read the cards in the deck, and then they relead 0:38:59.200 --> 0:39:02.319 that information to an off site operator, and they called 0:39:02.320 --> 0:39:05.520 the off site operator the quarterback, who would send that 0:39:05.640 --> 0:39:09.640 information to somebody at the table. And they had poker 0:39:09.719 --> 0:39:13.680 chip trays that read cards through hidden cameras, special contact lenses, 0:39:14.040 --> 0:39:17.320 glasses that could read mark cards, X ray poker tables 0:39:17.320 --> 0:39:20.600 that could read cards face down. The FBI says that 0:39:20.680 --> 0:39:23.440 the defendants robbed a victim at gunpoint to acquired a 0:39:23.560 --> 0:39:27.719 rig shuffling machine. And so at the center of all 0:39:27.800 --> 0:39:30.080 this is an NBA head coach who, by the way, 0:39:30.120 --> 0:39:31.680 was a terrific player. Again, he's in the Hall of Fame, 0:39:31.760 --> 0:39:36.080 Chauncey Billups, who it seems to me, among others, has 0:39:36.120 --> 0:39:41.279 the ultimate choice call it Chauncey's choice where he could 0:39:41.360 --> 0:39:45.239 either save his hide by ratting out the mafia, and 0:39:45.280 --> 0:39:48.279 we know what happens when one does that, or he 0:39:48.320 --> 0:39:52.040 can go to jail for a very long time. I 0:39:52.080 --> 0:39:56.640 have never been more intrigued by like a sports scandal 0:39:56.680 --> 0:39:58.440 than I am this one. I am a sucker for 0:39:58.560 --> 0:40:01.520 mob stories. I'm a sucker for mob movies, mob books, 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:02.600 and I love basketball. 0:40:03.560 --> 0:40:05.160 This combines two of my loves. 0:40:06.320 --> 0:40:09.520 The depths to which this may go, I don't know 0:40:09.560 --> 0:40:11.480 if it's gonna bring down an entire league. I think 0:40:11.520 --> 0:40:15.839 that's overly dramatic. It's not good for a league. It's 0:40:15.960 --> 0:40:18.920 just starting at season. It really ain't good for the 0:40:19.000 --> 0:40:21.960 guy or guys who are gonna have a choice between 0:40:22.040 --> 0:40:25.040 ratting out the mob going to jail for a very 0:40:25.080 --> 0:40:28.920 long time. You shouldn't root against the Dodgers for a 0:40:28.960 --> 0:40:31.279 simple reason that coming up after the seven o'clock news 0:40:31.320 --> 0:40:33.239 on the Home of the Best Bengals coverage news Radio 0:40:33.320 --> 0:40:35.880 seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 0:40:36.080 --> 0:40:37.920 News, Traffic and Weather. 0:40:38.480 --> 0:40:43.680 News Radio seven hundred WLW, Cincinnati. 0:40:43.040 --> 0:40:47.040 President Trump ramping up the pressure on Venezuela.

There 0:46:01.760 --> 0:46:04.600 is something that I wonder more than anything else about 0:46:04.640 --> 0:46:06.359 the Bengals, and we'll get to that coming up at 0:46:06.680 --> 0:46:10.600 seven thirty five. Plus, one of the biggest what ifs 0:46:10.760 --> 0:46:13.800 in all of sports has ties to the Tri State, 0:46:14.480 --> 0:46:16.919 and we'll talk some college football with a great guest, 0:46:17.000 --> 0:46:20.520 Danny Canell. Coming up in just about ten minutes. Game 0:46:20.640 --> 0:46:22.840 one of the World Series is tonight. It's in Toronto 0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:27.200 Dodgers and Blue Jays, and the month of October is 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.840 awesome if you love a lot of different sports. This 0:46:30.040 --> 0:46:33.200 is some call it what the sports equinox, because in 0:46:33.239 --> 0:46:36.319 the month of October, you've obviously got the NFL, You've 0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:40.360 got college football, the NBA starts, the NHL is underway, 0:46:40.480 --> 0:46:42.839 there are college basketball exhibitions. By the way, you see 0:46:42.880 --> 0:46:46.440 plays Arkansas in about an hour, no radio coverage, so 0:46:46.600 --> 0:46:48.200 you can go watch it on the internet or something, 0:46:48.880 --> 0:46:50.479 and then the baseball playoffs happen. 0:46:50.600 --> 0:46:52.160 By the time we get to the World Series. 0:46:53.200 --> 0:46:55.360 I don't want to get into a discussion about ratings 0:46:55.440 --> 0:46:57.120 or anything like that, because at the end of the day, 0:46:57.160 --> 0:46:59.800 who among us cares it? Just this what used to 0:46:59.840 --> 0:47:04.040 be crown jewel events in all of sports gets so 0:47:04.320 --> 0:47:07.440 lost in the flood. And they've moved Game one to 0:47:07.640 --> 0:47:11.440 Friday so that games one and two don't run opposite 0:47:11.520 --> 0:47:15.240 college football in the NFL. Obviously college football is gonna 0:47:15.239 --> 0:47:17.759 happen tomorrow, but Game two is not gonna go on 0:47:17.880 --> 0:47:22.400 opposite the National Football League. I think from here baseball perspective, 0:47:22.440 --> 0:47:24.799 it's a pretty interesting series. The Dodgers pitching and as 0:47:24.880 --> 0:47:27.000 Reds fans We saw this first hand in Round one. 0:47:27.400 --> 0:47:32.919 The Dodgers starting pitchers starting pitching has been otherworldly. Bob 0:47:32.920 --> 0:47:35.800 Baschett is gonna come back for Toronto and play for 0:47:35.880 --> 0:47:38.320 the first time since September the sixth. That is a 0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:41.760 very good Toronto lineup. If you remember, in early September, 0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:44.839 the Blue Jays came here and there was a game 0:47:45.000 --> 0:47:47.920 where on a Wednesday night, the Reds hit jumped out 0:47:47.960 --> 0:47:50.360 to a five to nothing lead and the Blue Jays 0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:52.399 ended up winning that game by like four or five 0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:55.399 runs and hit five homers. That lineup just keeps coming. 0:47:55.800 --> 0:47:59.239 Vladimir Guerrero is one of the best two or three 0:47:59.320 --> 0:48:02.440 hitters in all of baseball. It's interesting. I know how 0:48:02.480 --> 0:48:04.200 this works, and I know how it works in a 0:48:05.360 --> 0:48:07.520 in a market where the baseball team is a small 0:48:07.640 --> 0:48:10.959 market team. The Dodgers spend and spend and spend and spend. 0:48:11.000 --> 0:48:13.759 By the way, for what it's worth, the Blue Jays 0:48:13.840 --> 0:48:17.360 have the fifth highest payroll in all of baseball. This 0:48:18.120 --> 0:48:22.879 isn't some mom and pop franch The Toronto Blue Jays spend. Hell, 0:48:22.960 --> 0:48:25.480 they came this close to signing show Heyo Tani and 0:48:25.560 --> 0:48:27.399 they would have spent even more to go get him. 0:48:28.239 --> 0:48:30.600 So it's the team with the biggest actually the second 0:48:30.640 --> 0:48:33.680 biggest payroll behind the Mets, and the fifth biggest payroll 0:48:33.800 --> 0:48:38.280 in the Toronto Blue Jays. If I asked one thousand 0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:40.680 people in Cincinnati, all right, you have to pick a 0:48:40.719 --> 0:48:43.359 team to cheer for in the World Series, my guess 0:48:43.480 --> 0:48:45.480 is nine hundred and ninety eight are going to say 0:48:45.480 --> 0:48:47.680 the Blue Jays, and most are going to say it's 0:48:47.760 --> 0:48:51.160 because they don't want the high spending, big market Dodgers 0:48:51.200 --> 0:48:55.920 to win. Now, you will find some who grew up 0:48:55.920 --> 0:48:57.920 in the seventies who will tell you, you know, the 0:48:58.000 --> 0:49:00.480 Reds and Dodgers had such a great rivalry back then, 0:49:00.480 --> 0:49:02.759 and then we'll tell you, like, I'm just not rooting 0:49:02.800 --> 0:49:06.279 for the Dodgers because of that younger fans. I'm forty eight. 0:49:06.400 --> 0:49:10.200 I consider myself a younger fan. Don't necessarily, for the 0:49:10.280 --> 0:49:12.960 most part, feel that way about LA. Here's my take. 0:49:14.640 --> 0:49:19.080 I don't understand rooting against teams who do everything they 0:49:19.200 --> 0:49:24.040 can to try to win, especially in a sport filled 0:49:24.080 --> 0:49:29.160 with owners who blatantly don't try to win. By the way, 0:49:29.239 --> 0:49:31.880 this is not even about the Reds. You want to 0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:34.920 root against the team, read about the owner of the 0:49:34.960 --> 0:49:41.320 Pittsburgh Pirates root against them. Now, you may hate baseball's economics, 0:49:41.360 --> 0:49:43.759 and there's a lot to not like about baseball's economics. 0:49:43.800 --> 0:49:46.080 There are clear advantages the teams like the Dodgers and 0:49:46.160 --> 0:49:48.800 Mets and Yankees have. By the way, it's been proven 0:49:48.920 --> 0:49:52.879 that having those advantages doesn't guarantee you anything. The two 0:49:53.000 --> 0:49:55.560 New York teams have combined to win one World Series 0:49:55.640 --> 0:49:59.279 this century. The Dodgers won a World Series in twenty twenty. 0:49:59.320 --> 0:50:02.400 It was their first since nineteen eighty eight. So you 0:50:02.480 --> 0:50:05.480 might spend a lot, it doesn't guarantee anything. It certainly doesn't. 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:10.759 There's real there's no real sense of inevitability. But what 0:50:10.880 --> 0:50:13.880 I don't understand is the criticism of a team that 0:50:14.400 --> 0:50:18.600 has advantages that takes advantage of those advantages. The bigger 0:50:18.640 --> 0:50:20.680 issue would be, for me, if a big market team 0:50:20.760 --> 0:50:23.520 didn't spend by the way. The Chicago Cubs tried this, 0:50:25.040 --> 0:50:27.520 and maybe from a baseball perspective, did the right thing. 0:50:27.640 --> 0:50:29.759 But in the in the late twenty tens, after they 0:50:29.800 --> 0:50:33.400 won the World Series in twenty sixteen, despite making printing 0:50:33.520 --> 0:50:36.719 money hand over fist in Chicago, the Ricketts family, you know, 0:50:36.840 --> 0:50:38.080 basically pled poverty. 0:50:38.120 --> 0:50:39.440 We can't afford to keep our players. 0:50:40.280 --> 0:50:42.239 That is a thing in this sport, and it's such 0:50:42.239 --> 0:50:44.320 a thing in this sport that we just kind of 0:50:44.480 --> 0:50:47.480 nod along and accept it. If you could have root 0:50:47.520 --> 0:50:50.200 against the team, root against the team that doesn't try 0:50:50.239 --> 0:50:52.399 to win, the bigger story would be for me if 0:50:52.400 --> 0:50:56.120 the Dodgers didn't spend. So the rules say they can spend, 0:50:56.480 --> 0:50:59.000 they spend. If you were a Dodgers fan, wouldn't you 0:50:59.000 --> 0:51:02.279 want your team to take advantage of their financial advantages? Again, man, 0:51:02.360 --> 0:51:04.359 you think you might think baseball needs a salary cat, 0:51:04.440 --> 0:51:07.400 there's some validity to that. You might think baseball's economics 0:51:07.600 --> 0:51:09.439 are so out of whack that it would make sense 0:51:09.520 --> 0:51:11.480 for the sport to take a year off for them 0:51:11.520 --> 0:51:12.680 to kind of come up with a new way of 0:51:12.719 --> 0:51:17.239 structuring their economics. Maybe, but that's not the Dodgers' fault. 0:51:17.840 --> 0:51:19.920 It's not a big market team's fault. And look, I'm 0:51:19.920 --> 0:51:21.160 a fan of a Reds fan. I'm a fan of 0:51:21.200 --> 0:51:25.120 a small market team. But it's funny in college sports, 0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:27.880 you know, most of us root for a school, for 0:51:28.000 --> 0:51:30.839 big name schools, right, most of us route like I'm 0:51:30.840 --> 0:51:34.439 a UC fan from a football perspective, it's not Ohio State. 0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:40.120 In college sports, we love, we love financial inequity. We 0:51:40.280 --> 0:51:43.080 love it. Like if I said, if you're an Ohio 0:51:43.160 --> 0:51:45.279 State fan, and I'm not picking on OSU, I'll make 0:51:45.280 --> 0:51:48.720 it about Kentucky basketball. If you want Ohio State football 0:51:48.800 --> 0:51:51.840 can only spend the same amount of money on recruiting 0:51:51.920 --> 0:51:56.960 and facilities as Toledo or Miami or kent State, Buckeye 0:51:57.000 --> 0:51:59.319 fans would lose their minds. In college sports, we love 0:51:59.360 --> 0:52:04.200 the financial equity, especially in the era of paying players. 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:06.760 By the way, we have all sorts of non traditional 0:52:06.840 --> 0:52:09.880 powers that are now competing. Indiana University as the second 0:52:10.000 --> 0:52:14.160 ranked team in college football right now. And I'm big 0:52:14.280 --> 0:52:16.920 on nil and revenue sharing because i want everybody to 0:52:16.960 --> 0:52:19.239 get paid. It's leveled the playing field in many ways. 0:52:19.320 --> 0:52:21.960 Hasn't it all ruined the sport. I think it's made 0:52:22.000 --> 0:52:26.440 the championship, the playoff more accessible to more fans, more teams. 0:52:26.480 --> 0:52:28.960 It's great. But in college sports, who have a lot 0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:32.200 of folks, they want the financial inequity. They don't love 0:52:32.280 --> 0:52:34.279 the fact that other schools can pay players. They want 0:52:34.320 --> 0:52:36.680 to hoard all the talent. They hate the transfer portal, 0:52:37.400 --> 0:52:40.120 which is why for decades you've had the same schools 0:52:40.160 --> 0:52:42.480 dominating in the college football playoff era when it was 0:52:42.520 --> 0:52:45.640 still just for teams, it was the same schools every 0:52:45.680 --> 0:52:49.080 single year. College football fans love that, and yet when 0:52:49.120 --> 0:52:52.000 it comes to baseball we hold it against the teams 0:52:52.040 --> 0:52:56.160 that have financial advantages that they use them. I'm rooting 0:52:56.200 --> 0:52:57.960 for a great World Series. I can't say that I'm 0:52:58.040 --> 0:53:01.839 rooting for the Dodgers' for six seven games. I'm running 0:53:01.880 --> 0:53:03.840 for a drama. I'm rooting for a series better than 0:53:03.960 --> 0:53:06.759 last years. Like there's a big part of me rooting 0:53:06.760 --> 0:53:08.799 for David Bell to get a World Series ring. Jeff 0:53:08.840 --> 0:53:11.640 Hoffman was here, Kevin Gosman was here, no real attachment 0:53:11.680 --> 0:53:13.960 to them. But still I just want a great series. 0:53:14.080 --> 0:53:17.360 Love great baseball. But I'm not going to root against 0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:21.200 the Dodgers because they try to win. And if that's 0:53:21.200 --> 0:53:24.960 what you're doing, Frankly, I don't understand. Sixteen minutes after 0:53:25.000 --> 0:53:27.360 seven o'clock five point three, seven four nine, seven thousand 0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:29.920 is our phone number. We could perhaps get to some 0:53:30.000 --> 0:53:33.719 phone calls a little bit later on. You see, is 0:53:34.400 --> 0:53:36.600 one of two teams in the Big twelve that doesn't 0:53:36.640 --> 0:53:40.520 have a conference loss. I think Tomorrow's game for Cincinnati 0:53:40.800 --> 0:53:44.640 is huge. Bearcats v. Baylor Stadium is going to be 0:53:44.760 --> 0:53:49.319 sold out. They've got a tough road tilt next week 0:53:49.400 --> 0:53:52.600 against Utah, some big games coming up later on in 0:53:52.680 --> 0:53:56.080 the season against TCU and BYU. You've got to win 0:53:56.160 --> 0:53:58.200 at home. This line has come down, by the way, 0:53:58.560 --> 0:54:00.280 from five and a half to three and a half. 0:54:01.880 --> 0:54:04.279 Danny Cannell joins my show All the Time to talk 0:54:04.320 --> 0:54:06.400 college football. We'll get his thoughts on the Bearcats and 0:54:06.440 --> 0:54:09.440 the Buckeyes and some Hoosiers and more when we come back. 0:54:09.480 --> 0:54:13.120 It's Rnel Carrier Sports Talk presented by Kelsey Chevrolet on 0:54:13.280 --> 0:54:14.600 seven hundred WLW. 0:54:16.040 --> 0:54:19.200 Listening to a man standing in the park isn't funny. 0:54:19.800 --> 0:54:22.120 Listening to a man standing in the park getting hit 0:54:22.200 --> 0:54:26.080 in the groin with a frisbee couch migroin is funny. 0:54:27.080 --> 0:54:29.920 Eddie and Rocky are also funny. So when you think 0:54:30.000 --> 0:54:33.880 of getting hit in the groin ouch migroin, think of 0:54:34.320 --> 0:54:35.360 Eddie and Rocky. 0:54:35.880 --> 0:54:40.480 Eddie and Rocky. Monday afternoon at three seven hundred WLW 0:54:42.920 --> 0:54:44.640 at Duke Energy, We're making. 0:54:44.480 --> 0:54:47.920 All twenty one after seven o'clock. This is Rnel Carrier's 0:54:48.040 --> 0:54:50.920 Sports Talk on seven hundred wl W. We are presented 0:54:50.960 --> 0:54:57.840 tonight by Kelsey Chevrolet Mullaggar for Lance College Football Tomorrow. 0:54:57.920 --> 0:55:01.839 Cincinnati and Baylor Bearcats are are six and one. Danny 0:55:01.880 --> 0:55:04.480 Canell's with us thanks to a bet online. I got 0:55:04.520 --> 0:55:06.839 a bet online. I look right now, Danny, I see 0:55:06.840 --> 0:55:10.200 the Bearcats are plus seven hundred plus seven hundred to 0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:11.920 win the Big Twelve Conference. 0:55:12.080 --> 0:55:13.440 Talk me into it or out of it? 0:55:14.120 --> 0:55:17.440 Oh, man, I think it's pretty good value, right, I mean, 0:55:17.440 --> 0:55:20.000 I think people are still sleeping on the Bearcats. 0:55:20.440 --> 0:55:23.040 My man, Brandon Sorosby has been bawling. 0:55:23.239 --> 0:55:26.400 I don't think he's getting anywhere near the amount of 0:55:26.480 --> 0:55:28.800 attention that he should be getting. 0:55:29.120 --> 0:55:31.279 He has been awesome, and if. 0:55:31.239 --> 0:55:35.480 You take away, you know, one bad play against Nebraska, 0:55:35.640 --> 0:55:39.799 this team is really close to being undefeated. But Soorsby's 0:55:39.840 --> 0:55:43.879 got eighteen touchdowns in one interception, and he's got six 0:55:44.040 --> 0:55:48.320 rushing touchdowns. By my math, that's twenty four total touchdowns 0:55:48.320 --> 0:55:51.479 and one interception. Why isn't he getting any Heisman loved? 0:55:51.680 --> 0:55:53.560 And I get why because. 0:55:53.239 --> 0:55:55.080 You're not in the market, you know, or you're not 0:55:55.160 --> 0:55:56.480 a traditional blue blood. 0:55:56.800 --> 0:55:59.840 But I'm serious, he's playing quarterback as good as anybody 0:56:00.000 --> 0:56:03.640 in the country. They're playing some great football. And if 0:56:03.719 --> 0:56:06.720 the Big Twelve, I mean, we all we've been proven 0:56:06.800 --> 0:56:07.920 wrong all season long. 0:56:08.000 --> 0:56:10.400 We all thought, oh it's Texas Tech, head and shoulders 0:56:10.440 --> 0:56:12.279 above the field. Oh it's Texas Tech. 0:56:12.680 --> 0:56:16.439 Texas Tech goes and loses last week, I say, why 0:56:16.600 --> 0:56:17.600 not the Bearcats? 0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:19.600 So I am not trying to talk you out of 0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:20.080 that one. 0:56:20.480 --> 0:56:22.680 Of course, the Texas Tech game would be the only 0:56:22.840 --> 0:56:24.480 one that they would have to face in the Big 0:56:24.560 --> 0:56:27.800 Twelve championship. Don't have them the regular season. But we 0:56:28.000 --> 0:56:30.799 just saw Utah get beat by BYU. You can handle 0:56:30.880 --> 0:56:33.960 them BYU. You guys play at home, like, why not 0:56:34.200 --> 0:56:36.399 at the nip You could see it happening. Now you're 0:56:36.400 --> 0:56:38.200 thinking about I'm about to take a bet on the 0:56:38.239 --> 0:56:39.720 Bearcats here to win the Big Twelve. 0:56:39.719 --> 0:56:41.960 See there you go. You're speaking my language. By the way, 0:56:42.160 --> 0:56:45.240 two fifty to one to win the college football playoff. 0:56:45.440 --> 0:56:48.480 It's that's not something I thought I would be looking at. 0:56:48.840 --> 0:56:50.640 A long way to go, but it's been a fun 0:56:50.719 --> 0:56:55.600 season so far. We were talking about this yesterday. Ohio 0:56:55.680 --> 0:56:57.239 State gets talked about a lot in this part of 0:56:57.280 --> 0:57:00.719 the country. I'm not sure in recent years nationally there 0:57:00.800 --> 0:57:03.279 has been a less discussed number one team in the 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:04.840 nation through this part of the season. 0:57:06.360 --> 0:57:08.640 Yeah, I would tend to agree. I think you saw 0:57:08.719 --> 0:57:11.760 this happen last year with Georgia. They were just everybody 0:57:11.840 --> 0:57:14.279 knew they'd be in the College Football Playoff and you're 0:57:14.360 --> 0:57:16.600 kind of like, yeah, we'll talk about them when it matters. 0:57:16.760 --> 0:57:19.840 But Georgia wasn't as dominant as Ohio State has been 0:57:19.920 --> 0:57:24.400 this year. I just was in Madison, Wisconsin, so I 0:57:24.760 --> 0:57:27.400 saw the buck guys in person. Of course, it was 0:57:27.600 --> 0:57:32.479 not a great game, completely lopsided, but that we haven't 0:57:32.520 --> 0:57:34.520 seen a lot of teams that are just handling their 0:57:34.560 --> 0:57:36.920 business every single week. We've seen a lot of teams 0:57:37.120 --> 0:57:39.200 overlook opponents, they underwhelm. 0:57:39.440 --> 0:57:42.880 Ohio State has not done that, and I think this team. 0:57:42.960 --> 0:57:45.880 I talked to Jeremiah Smith after the game and he 0:57:46.000 --> 0:57:48.760 said he thinks this team is better than last year's 0:57:48.880 --> 0:57:50.840 and it is really hard to argue against when you 0:57:50.880 --> 0:57:54.120 look at the totality of the roster. I think last 0:57:54.200 --> 0:57:56.640 year's run game was a little bit better and the 0:57:56.720 --> 0:57:59.480 offensive line was a little bit better, but outside of that, 0:58:00.160 --> 0:58:03.520 defense is putting up historic numbers. You know, they pitch 0:58:03.560 --> 0:58:08.520 another shutout last week, which was really impressive. My big 0:58:08.680 --> 0:58:10.840 concern for Ohio State, and this is similar to sort 0:58:10.840 --> 0:58:14.400 of some of those great teams that we've seen, you know, traditionally, 0:58:15.040 --> 0:58:18.600 it's do they get battle tested before they have to 0:58:18.680 --> 0:58:22.920 play against potentially Indiana and the Big Ten or if 0:58:22.960 --> 0:58:25.480 they have to play against Alabama and the College Football 0:58:25.560 --> 0:58:29.480 Playoff because they're so good, Like, it's just you wonder 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:33.360 if that's gonna matter, because they won't have many opportunities 0:58:33.840 --> 0:58:35.800 to be in a fourth quarter game where you look 0:58:35.880 --> 0:58:37.080 up at the scoreboard it's. 0:58:37.000 --> 0:58:39.040 Like, oh crap, we got to get this thing going. 0:58:39.320 --> 0:58:41.640 They might not have to face that type of adversity, 0:58:41.960 --> 0:58:44.360 which is like rich people problems, right, Like it's a 0:58:44.440 --> 0:58:47.480 problem that everybody would love to have. But I cannot 0:58:47.520 --> 0:58:50.000 say enough about how impressed I was the Buckeyes, Julian 0:58:50.080 --> 0:58:52.480 saying is playing like a seasoned veteran. I love the 0:58:52.560 --> 0:58:55.200 way they've kind of they've taken you know, they kind 0:58:55.200 --> 0:58:56.360 of have slow played it. 0:58:56.440 --> 0:58:58.520 It's like a restaurant. They have a soft opening. 0:58:58.680 --> 0:59:00.400 I think that's what they did early in the season, 0:59:00.520 --> 0:59:02.800 and then now they're kind of just throwing everything at him, 0:59:03.040 --> 0:59:05.720 and he is flurshing. It has just been really, really 0:59:05.800 --> 0:59:07.720 impressive the Buckey's what they've been able to do. 0:59:07.920 --> 0:59:10.040 When you were in Madison, if I would have told 0:59:10.120 --> 0:59:12.680 you that at this time this week, Luke Fickle will 0:59:12.680 --> 0:59:14.040 still be employed, you would have said, what. 0:59:15.760 --> 0:59:19.000 I'm pretty astounded, especially considering the pulse. You know, you 0:59:19.040 --> 0:59:20.120 get a pretty good pulse. 0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:20.760 When you're on the ground. 0:59:21.200 --> 0:59:24.560 Even before the game, fans were like, yeah, we probably 0:59:24.600 --> 0:59:26.800 have to make a change, and then you know, at 0:59:26.840 --> 0:59:30.040 the airport after everyone's like, well, it's got to happen today, 0:59:30.280 --> 0:59:32.480 and then no, you get the statement of support from 0:59:32.520 --> 0:59:35.880 the athletic director. So I'm surprised, but I'm also surprised 0:59:35.880 --> 0:59:38.520 at how bad it's been. I thought Luke Fickle was 0:59:38.560 --> 0:59:40.960 an a higher you know when you grade the hires. 0:59:41.200 --> 0:59:43.520 I thought he was a great fit at Wisconsin. I 0:59:43.640 --> 0:59:45.480 do think they're starting to learn they have a lot 0:59:45.520 --> 0:59:48.000 of making up to do in the nil landscape, and 0:59:48.120 --> 0:59:49.240 their schedule has been. 0:59:49.240 --> 0:59:51.000 Brutal, and he's had horrible quarterback. 0:59:51.120 --> 0:59:51.320 Look. 0:59:51.760 --> 0:59:54.120 So I know the athletic director said they're going to 0:59:54.160 --> 0:59:56.480 try to give him some more resources, give more money, 0:59:56.920 --> 0:59:59.280 but my goodness, I don't think it's gonna get I 0:59:59.320 --> 1:00:01.360 think it's gonna get worse before it gets better. And 1:00:01.440 --> 1:00:03.800 that's going to take a tremendous amount of fortitude for 1:00:03.920 --> 1:00:06.480 that athletic director to continue to back Luke Fickle the 1:00:06.520 --> 1:00:07.680 way they've lost the fan base. 1:00:08.040 --> 1:00:10.680 Danny Knell is with us thanks to bet Online again. 1:00:10.760 --> 1:00:14.160 Check out bet online dot ag for updated college Football, Playoff, 1:00:14.200 --> 1:00:17.840 Heisman and College Football Week nine lines. Stay in the 1:00:17.880 --> 1:00:20.760 Big ten with me. Last year, it felt like Indiana 1:00:20.880 --> 1:00:23.160 was a really neat story. This year, it feels like 1:00:23.200 --> 1:00:26.240 they're a powerhouse. Fernando Mendoza the odds on favorite to 1:00:26.280 --> 1:00:29.240 win the Heisman Trophy. Do you take the Hoosiers seriously 1:00:29.800 --> 1:00:31.680 as national championship contenders? 1:00:33.240 --> 1:00:34.040 Absolutely? 1:00:34.400 --> 1:00:36.920 And I would say why, like and maybe if they 1:00:37.040 --> 1:00:39.920 didn't do what they did to Oregon, you'd probably be 1:00:40.040 --> 1:00:41.320 waiting for them to prove. 1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:43.400 It one more time, like we need to see it. 1:00:43.560 --> 1:00:45.240 But they I thought of Oregon. 1:00:45.280 --> 1:00:47.280 I still think Oregon is a really good football team. 1:00:47.880 --> 1:00:50.520 That was a pretty convincing win. I mean, they won 1:00:50.600 --> 1:00:52.880 by ten, but I think the style of it, the 1:00:52.960 --> 1:00:55.680 way they were able to control both lines of scrimmage, 1:00:55.960 --> 1:00:58.960 that was really really impressive. Kirksey that he's a great 1:00:59.000 --> 1:01:01.560 football coach, and I still think it's very similar to 1:01:01.600 --> 1:01:04.800 what's going on at Vanderbilt. People need to erase everything 1:01:04.880 --> 1:01:07.440 you've known about Indiana for the last fifty years. 1:01:07.840 --> 1:01:09.040 There's a couple of reasons why. 1:01:09.160 --> 1:01:10.920 One, they've done a great job and they're going on 1:01:11.000 --> 1:01:13.040 their second season kind of putting a stampoint they did 1:01:13.160 --> 1:01:13.600 last year. 1:01:13.880 --> 1:01:16.040 But this is a new landscape of college football. 1:01:16.200 --> 1:01:18.880 Like you, you don't have just windows where you can win, 1:01:18.960 --> 1:01:21.120 where you get lucky with a good class or a 1:01:21.200 --> 1:01:24.320 good quarterback. They actually have resources, and they have the 1:01:24.400 --> 1:01:27.520 revenue share and they've got the portal. So I think 1:01:27.600 --> 1:01:30.680 Indiana is here to stay. And I do think Fernando 1:01:30.800 --> 1:01:32.800 Mendoza is pretty special. They still have a lot of 1:01:32.800 --> 1:01:35.240 players that were on last year's team that were holdovers 1:01:35.280 --> 1:01:38.200 from James Madison, which was a championship level player. 1:01:38.320 --> 1:01:40.439 So yes, I think Indiana is a team that could 1:01:40.440 --> 1:01:41.640 win the national championship. 1:01:42.560 --> 1:01:45.000 In college football, we've seen a lot of coaches get 1:01:45.080 --> 1:01:49.160 fired with large buyouts, most notably James Franklin, who's being 1:01:49.240 --> 1:01:52.200 paid nearly fifty million dollars to not work. Some view 1:01:52.280 --> 1:01:54.880 that as this is a sign that the sport is really, 1:01:54.960 --> 1:01:57.720 really healthy, And some view this as this is a 1:01:57.800 --> 1:01:59.640 sign that the sport is in trouble and it's not 1:01:59.720 --> 1:02:01.600 so the money going to the players. 1:02:01.640 --> 1:02:02.240 What's your take? 1:02:03.840 --> 1:02:05.400 No, all I know is I don't want to hear 1:02:05.480 --> 1:02:10.320 any athletic directors or school presidents complaining about finances, right Like, 1:02:10.400 --> 1:02:13.080 you've got to stop saying, oh, we're we're at a 1:02:13.160 --> 1:02:15.800 point of crisis. Well, if there is a crisis, it's 1:02:15.880 --> 1:02:18.000 on you guys, like you're the ones that are handing 1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:22.920 out these contracts with these ridiculous guarantees and ridiculous buyouts. 1:02:23.280 --> 1:02:25.800 And I don't think it changes. I think it's the 1:02:25.920 --> 1:02:28.200 sport is in a great spot. I mean it really is. 1:02:28.320 --> 1:02:30.920 The ratings are up, the players are making money, The 1:02:31.160 --> 1:02:33.200 expanded Playoff has brought a lot of hope to a 1:02:33.240 --> 1:02:35.440 lot of programs. So I think the sport is in 1:02:35.520 --> 1:02:38.560 a great spot. I mean, the coaches just have more 1:02:38.640 --> 1:02:41.480 pressure on them than ever before, in large part because 1:02:41.520 --> 1:02:43.640 of these salaries, because of the money that they're making. 1:02:44.160 --> 1:02:47.680 So I think until athletic directors start getting smarter and 1:02:47.720 --> 1:02:50.480 don't get raked over the coals by these agents with 1:02:50.640 --> 1:02:52.760 all the leverage that they have. You're just going to 1:02:52.800 --> 1:02:55.480 see these continue to escalate, and you're gonna see coaches 1:02:55.560 --> 1:02:57.840 make a lot of money, either to coach or to 1:02:58.000 --> 1:02:58.480 not coach. 1:02:58.600 --> 1:03:00.000 It's just a matter of what where. 1:02:59.920 --> 1:03:03.080 They're gonna be or on television, you know, talking about 1:03:03.120 --> 1:03:05.000 the sport. But either way, they're gonna make a lot 1:03:05.120 --> 1:03:05.760 a lot of money. 1:03:05.800 --> 1:03:07.720 All Right, one more, really quick. I ask you this 1:03:07.880 --> 1:03:12.280 every time look at that online. I don't want a favorite. 1:03:12.400 --> 1:03:15.000 Give me a dark horse. Give me a long shot 1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:18.480 with value, whether it's the National Championship or whether it's 1:03:18.520 --> 1:03:19.400 the Heisman Trophy. 1:03:19.640 --> 1:03:22.040 Give me one of those where I could get some 1:03:22.160 --> 1:03:23.800 value for my wager. 1:03:25.120 --> 1:03:27.520 Spend on how long you want to go? I would 1:03:27.640 --> 1:03:31.560 say the Miami Hurricanes, and I it was ugly right. 1:03:31.640 --> 1:03:33.920 They lost on the national stage was Friday night, kind 1:03:33.960 --> 1:03:34.919 of standalone game. 1:03:35.720 --> 1:03:38.680 I still thought they were National championship worthy before. 1:03:39.280 --> 1:03:41.320 And it's just you gotta really put a lot of 1:03:41.400 --> 1:03:44.400 trust in Carson Beck that he's not gonna have that 1:03:44.600 --> 1:03:47.520 type of game because he had four interceptions. The three 1:03:47.560 --> 1:03:50.120 of them were horrendous decisions, a couple of them were 1:03:50.160 --> 1:03:52.680 great plays. But I still think that team has an 1:03:52.720 --> 1:03:56.000 offensive and defensive line that are very special. I think 1:03:56.080 --> 1:03:58.520 Oregon I would put in that same category, but Oregon's 1:03:58.560 --> 1:03:59.760 only nine to one. If you want to go a 1:03:59.760 --> 1:04:02.400 little bit longer, fourteen to one. Like, I would not 1:04:02.520 --> 1:04:04.880 waste your money on Texas. Think arch Manning still has 1:04:04.920 --> 1:04:08.360 significant growth to go Texas Tech. I worry a little 1:04:08.360 --> 1:04:11.560 bit about their competition. Ole missus defense. I don't trust them. 1:04:11.720 --> 1:04:14.440 So I would say Miami at fourteen to one. And 1:04:14.480 --> 1:04:16.120 this is from a seminole, So you got to consider 1:04:16.240 --> 1:04:18.280 this like, this is me giving a lot of love 1:04:18.320 --> 1:04:19.560 to a program that I don't like. 1:04:20.000 --> 1:04:23.120 I'll say Miami's not bad value here at fourteen to one. 1:04:24.120 --> 1:04:27.640 Learn more bet online, dot ag get updated college Football Playoff, 1:04:27.720 --> 1:04:31.800 Heisman and college Football Week nine lines.

FC Cincinnati had a very good season. 1:10:42.160 --> 1:10:45.679 The Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer feels wide open. 1:10:46.280 --> 1:10:48.799 I don't know anybody who was excited about playing Columbus 1:10:48.840 --> 1:10:50.400 in round We don't want to play your rival in 1:10:50.520 --> 1:10:52.880 round one.

That 1:10:58.120 --> 1:11:02.479 conversation coming up in just about forty minutes. Bengals and 1:11:02.560 --> 1:11:08.080 Jets on Sunday. Can the Joe Flacco magic continue? You know? 1:11:08.200 --> 1:11:11.200 I say this often on my show on ESPN fifteen thirty. 1:11:11.200 --> 1:11:12.640 By By the way, my name is Mollaggar. It's not 1:11:12.720 --> 1:11:15.200 Beef tallow In for Lance Lances back for Bengals line 1:11:15.240 --> 1:11:21.040 on Monday evening. Be interesting or be good? You gotta 1:11:21.080 --> 1:11:23.000 be one. From where I sit, you gotta be one. 1:11:23.200 --> 1:11:27.280 Be good or be interesting. Ideally be both? Right, Ideally 1:11:27.479 --> 1:11:30.000 your team is good and it's interesting, but it's got 1:11:30.120 --> 1:11:31.280 to be one of the other. It's got to be 1:11:31.320 --> 1:11:34.080 at least one of the other. Uh, the Joe Flacco 1:11:34.200 --> 1:11:34.879 thing interesting? 1:11:35.200 --> 1:11:35.360 Right? 1:11:35.960 --> 1:11:38.479 Picking up the dude on Tuesday, playing a game on Sunday, 1:11:38.520 --> 1:11:40.800 By the way, that was the right decision in real time. 1:11:40.960 --> 1:11:43.519 It proved to be the right decision later on. For 1:11:43.600 --> 1:11:45.519 those who don't want to give Zach credit for anything. 1:11:45.640 --> 1:11:49.360 Zach Taylor credit for anything. They they took some heat 1:11:49.479 --> 1:11:53.120 now for like throwing him to the Wolves against against 1:11:53.200 --> 1:11:56.120 Green Bay. They did that so they could win the 1:11:56.160 --> 1:12:00.400 game against Pittsburgh. Good decision there, right decision there. Give 1:12:00.479 --> 1:12:03.840 the Bengals credit. The Joe Flacco story is interesting. It's 1:12:03.880 --> 1:12:06.360 been made more interesting by the fact that he helped 1:12:06.439 --> 1:12:09.160 beat the Pittsburgh Steelers and did so on a night 1:12:09.200 --> 1:12:12.160 where the defense did next to nothing in prime time 1:12:12.880 --> 1:12:17.200 eight days after joining the team. It has vaulted the 1:12:17.200 --> 1:12:19.640 Bengals back into the playoff hunt. I think it has 1:12:20.200 --> 1:12:24.280 opened the door for Cincinnati and Baltimore in the AFC North. 1:12:24.360 --> 1:12:27.439 Now it can close quickly. I think it closes that 1:12:27.520 --> 1:12:29.839 the Bengals loose to the Jets. I think it closes 1:12:29.960 --> 1:12:34.479 for Baltimore if they lose to Chicago this weekend. But 1:12:34.600 --> 1:12:38.879 it's interesting for as much as the season has evolved 1:12:38.880 --> 1:12:41.400 and there's been changes, we've gone from Burrow to Browning 1:12:41.479 --> 1:12:44.800 to Flacco, I still have the same question I had 1:12:45.120 --> 1:12:49.760 in April, May, June, July, and August. The question is 1:12:51.080 --> 1:12:57.240 when the offense dries up, when the quarterback isn't having 1:12:57.280 --> 1:13:00.919 a great day, When the offense came run the football 1:13:01.840 --> 1:13:06.120 when the other team's defense just has their number. Can 1:13:06.160 --> 1:13:08.599 the Bengals defense win a game now? To be fair? 1:13:09.320 --> 1:13:13.040 To be fair, the answer against Cleveland way back Week one, 1:13:13.080 --> 1:13:16.840 which feels like a lifetime ago, was yes against Joe Flacco. Now, 1:13:16.880 --> 1:13:19.680 it helped that the Browns kicker left four points on 1:13:19.760 --> 1:13:23.519 the field, but the defense answered the question in that 1:13:23.720 --> 1:13:25.920 week can they win a game for the Bengals Now? 1:13:26.880 --> 1:13:30.000 Cleveland's running back Quinn Shawn Judkins didn't play that game. 1:13:30.080 --> 1:13:33.400 He has been awesome since they've started using him beginning 1:13:33.439 --> 1:13:36.920 with Week two. But it's the question, right. I asked 1:13:36.960 --> 1:13:39.880 it all offseason because all off season you would hear, hey, look, 1:13:40.080 --> 1:13:42.320 the Bengals just need to be league average, right, Bengals 1:13:42.360 --> 1:13:44.519 just need a league average defense, and they're gonna be okay. 1:13:44.600 --> 1:13:47.519 And I get the basic premise, Hey, you've got Burrow 1:13:47.560 --> 1:13:49.679 and Chase and Higgins are gonna score a billion points. 1:13:49.720 --> 1:13:52.160 As long as the defense doesn't screw it up, as 1:13:52.200 --> 1:13:53.880 long as they're kind of middle of the pack, they're 1:13:53.880 --> 1:13:58.840 gonna be okay. My question was, fine, big picture, that 1:13:59.000 --> 1:14:03.240 might be the case anecdotally. Two things. One, what happens 1:14:03.280 --> 1:14:06.439 if there's a game where for the offense it's just 1:14:06.600 --> 1:14:12.639 not working. Number two, what happens when the defense has 1:14:12.720 --> 1:14:15.479 to get a stop in a game where the offense 1:14:15.560 --> 1:14:18.960 has put the team in a position to win. The 1:14:19.000 --> 1:14:21.559 Bengals are getting ready for their eighth game of the season. 1:14:21.640 --> 1:14:25.599 We're close to the midway point. I still wonder those things, 1:14:27.640 --> 1:14:32.040 like go back to last Thursday, Joe Flacco puts the 1:14:32.080 --> 1:14:34.680 team in a position to win Gino stone In the 1:14:34.720 --> 1:14:39.680 defense almost almost give up the game. Go back to 1:14:39.760 --> 1:14:42.880 the game against green Bay. The Bengals offense starts to 1:14:42.960 --> 1:14:46.800 click in the second half. On three different occasions, the 1:14:46.920 --> 1:14:50.080 defense took the field with the Bengals down by one possession, 1:14:50.560 --> 1:14:55.120 down one score, and in every instance they gave up 1:14:55.200 --> 1:14:59.240 points to the green Bay offense. The game against Detroit, 1:15:00.080 --> 1:15:02.400 say what you want about Jake Browning. They pulled within 1:15:02.479 --> 1:15:05.280 eleven points ten and a half minutes to go. It 1:15:05.560 --> 1:15:07.439 might not have been likely that they were going to 1:15:07.520 --> 1:15:09.280 come back and win the game, but ten and a 1:15:09.320 --> 1:15:13.160 half minutes is an eternity. Eleven points is not insurmountable. 1:15:13.560 --> 1:15:16.160 Get off the field and your team has at least 1:15:16.200 --> 1:15:19.040 a little bit more of a chance. Instead, Detroit went 1:15:19.120 --> 1:15:21.680 down the field and six plays never even got to 1:15:21.800 --> 1:15:26.519 a third down. And I could keep going. I could 1:15:26.520 --> 1:15:28.360 talk about the Denver game. I could talk about the 1:15:28.400 --> 1:15:32.160 Minnesota game. And so like, here's the question, and I 1:15:33.000 --> 1:15:35.120 don't know that I have the answer. I'll ask you 1:15:35.200 --> 1:15:38.639 at five point three seven four nine seven thousand. Let's 1:15:38.680 --> 1:15:42.040 say Sunday that Joe flacco magic runs out, and if 1:15:42.080 --> 1:15:45.960 it's not this Sunday, maybe it's against Chicago. Joe Flacco 1:15:46.080 --> 1:15:48.280 is is gonna play a lot more right. I mean, 1:15:48.360 --> 1:15:52.000 we're still talking like Burrow mid December, best case, we're 1:15:52.040 --> 1:15:55.200 not even to November yet. And those Burrow games, if 1:15:55.200 --> 1:15:57.280 he does come back for like the last three, only 1:15:57.479 --> 1:15:59.920 matter if they can win enough games to make them matter. 1:16:01.160 --> 1:16:06.240 So on Thursday, Joe Flacco plays very well and Jamar 1:16:06.439 --> 1:16:09.679 Chase's otherworldly, and T Higgins is good, and the offensive 1:16:09.720 --> 1:16:12.000 line was all right and they ran the ball effectively, 1:16:12.080 --> 1:16:14.680 which to me, that was the biggest offensive subplot to 1:16:14.760 --> 1:16:19.240 that entire game. What's gonna happen when that doesn't happen. 1:16:19.320 --> 1:16:21.599 What's gonna happen when Joe Flacco turns into a pumpkin. 1:16:21.640 --> 1:16:23.599 What's gonna happen when he turns into a forty year 1:16:23.640 --> 1:16:29.360 old backup quarterback, like he's the toast of the town 1:16:29.479 --> 1:16:31.120 right now, and he should be. And by the way, 1:16:31.520 --> 1:16:35.080 I've become a fan of Joe Flacco for life, and 1:16:35.600 --> 1:16:38.479 he's played forever in the NFL, He's played for two 1:16:38.520 --> 1:16:41.880 teams inside the AFC North, and yet I've never felt 1:16:41.920 --> 1:16:44.840 strongly about him either way. He's always just been there. 1:16:44.920 --> 1:16:48.000 I've respected him. It's had a very long career, made 1:16:48.040 --> 1:16:51.360 a ton of money, won a lot of games, Super Bowl, MVP, 1:16:51.439 --> 1:16:54.320 He's had a very good career. But I've never felt 1:16:54.479 --> 1:16:56.680 like strongly either way about him. Like if you're a 1:16:56.680 --> 1:17:00.200 Bengals fan like me, you loathe Ben Roethlisberger, how out 1:17:00.280 --> 1:17:04.639 Steelers stands low Ben Roethlisberger, But like Joe Flacco never 1:17:04.840 --> 1:17:07.960 elicited those sort of emotions. For me, I never felt 1:17:08.000 --> 1:17:10.640 strongly until I watched him here. And it was not 1:17:10.800 --> 1:17:12.680 just the fact that he's played well. It's how he's 1:17:12.680 --> 1:17:16.160 handled himself. That first Friday after he got traded here, 1:17:16.479 --> 1:17:20.040 you could tell he just he appreciated the absurdity and 1:17:20.160 --> 1:17:22.439 the humor of this situation that he's found himself in, 1:17:23.360 --> 1:17:25.680 learning his teammates, all that sort of stuff on the fly, 1:17:26.720 --> 1:17:29.920 and it's worked, and you know it's probably gonna work 1:17:29.960 --> 1:17:32.920 on Sunday because the Jets are terrible. But here we 1:17:33.000 --> 1:17:35.599 are in late October, we're still wondering the same thing 1:17:35.680 --> 1:17:39.160 that many of us were wondering back in August. When 1:17:39.240 --> 1:17:41.960 the defense has to get a stop, when the defense 1:17:42.000 --> 1:17:45.760 has to win you a game, can it And so 1:17:45.880 --> 1:17:48.840 far the answer has been no. And Al Golden, They've 1:17:48.920 --> 1:17:52.519 tried stuff right, They've benched Zach cam Taylor Britt, They've 1:17:52.560 --> 1:17:56.400 made him a healthy scratch. They've made a change at 1:17:56.439 --> 1:18:00.439 linebacker and let Barrett Carter play like. They've tried stuff, 1:18:01.240 --> 1:18:03.280 and there have been some decent things to happen on defense. 1:18:03.320 --> 1:18:06.160 DJ Turner has been unbelievable the last couple of games. 1:18:07.240 --> 1:18:10.280 But we're midway through the season, nearly midway through the season. 1:18:10.320 --> 1:18:16.160 I guess seven games in big, big sample size, and 1:18:16.280 --> 1:18:22.080 it's still an untrustworthy unit. It's still a unit that 1:18:24.479 --> 1:18:28.040 since losing the game on Sunday sounds far fetched, I'll 1:18:28.080 --> 1:18:30.280 make it about that Bears game, which is the one 1:18:30.439 --> 1:18:34.479 going into the bye. It's gonna be a big game. 1:18:34.640 --> 1:18:37.479 Bengals are at home. What if it is a situation 1:18:39.040 --> 1:18:44.040 like the one they had against Pittsburgh. They've taken the lead, 1:18:44.920 --> 1:18:49.040 they need to stop. It's thirty four to twenty two 1:18:49.120 --> 1:18:51.479 and a half to go. Can they get a stop? 1:18:51.520 --> 1:18:53.920 Now you might go, well, yeah, but it was Aaron Rodgers, Okay, 1:18:56.760 --> 1:19:01.400 but can they get a stop? Can they get a 1:19:01.439 --> 1:19:04.200 stop when they're down a score and need the ball 1:19:04.280 --> 1:19:08.120 back like they couldn't against Jordan Love and the Green 1:19:08.160 --> 1:19:13.160 Bay Packers. So like, I am all in on Flacco 1:19:13.320 --> 1:19:15.840 and I think Zach Taylor deserves a measure of credit 1:19:15.920 --> 1:19:20.080 for helping him get up to speed. And man, it's 1:19:20.120 --> 1:19:23.200 a fun story. And Jamar Chase was awesome and they've 1:19:23.280 --> 1:19:25.320 dumbed it down to a degree and it's like, dude, 1:19:25.400 --> 1:19:27.200 just throw the ball to Chase and Higgins, Like I 1:19:27.360 --> 1:19:27.600 get it. 1:19:27.720 --> 1:19:28.280 This is fun. 1:19:29.200 --> 1:19:31.519 And the Bengals at three and four, like if they're 1:19:31.560 --> 1:19:33.519 two and five, we're not talking about this. We're talking 1:19:33.560 --> 1:19:35.800 about who they trade, who they fire, what next year 1:19:35.880 --> 1:19:38.320 is going to look like. Some will say they should tank, 1:19:39.680 --> 1:19:42.920 but for the win on Thursday against the Steelers to 1:19:43.320 --> 1:19:47.360 genuinely vault this team into a position where it could 1:19:47.960 --> 1:19:51.200 remain in the playoff hunt, get a playoff spot, get 1:19:51.280 --> 1:19:55.760 to the postseason with Joe Burrow. Al Golden's unit's gonna 1:19:55.760 --> 1:19:57.519 have to do something that it hasn't been able to do, 1:19:57.600 --> 1:20:01.200 at least since Week one. Get off the field when needed, 1:20:02.920 --> 1:20:05.599 and that's win a game. And I'm not even talking 1:20:05.720 --> 1:20:08.680 necessarily about what happens if Joe Flacco just doesn't have 1:20:08.840 --> 1:20:12.000 it turns into a pumpkin. What happens if Joe Flacco's 1:20:12.080 --> 1:20:16.439 immobility puts him in harm's way and there's an injury, 1:20:16.479 --> 1:20:18.519 and now Browning's got to play and your offense is 1:20:18.600 --> 1:20:23.760 more limited. If the answer continues to be I don't know, 1:20:24.160 --> 1:20:26.840 or if the answer continues to be no, they can't 1:20:26.880 --> 1:20:31.960 get stops, this season goes nowhere, and we'll bring into 1:20:32.120 --> 1:20:35.479 sharper focus what Duke Tobin did and didn't do on 1:20:35.600 --> 1:20:39.400 that side of the football.

One thing I do know, turbulence 1:21:10.640 --> 1:21:14.320 is guaranteed. I don't do well with turbulence. I may 1:21:14.439 --> 1:21:18.920 need a barf bag.

By the way, good conversation with Danny Canelbe. 1:22:00.520 --> 1:22:02.720 He brought up Luke Fickle. Luke Fickle, I think, to 1:22:02.800 --> 1:22:04.439 the surprise of a lot of people, is still the 1:22:04.520 --> 1:22:07.599 coach on Wisconsin after his team was shut out back 1:22:07.640 --> 1:22:10.920 to back weeks. I'm not sure right now that there 1:22:11.040 --> 1:22:13.920 is a coach in college football who is who is 1:22:14.280 --> 1:22:18.439 as deeply disliked by his fan base as Luke Fickle 1:22:18.640 --> 1:22:21.960 is at Wisconsin, and it's it's a great what if? Right, 1:22:22.120 --> 1:22:26.680 Like I am a lifelong and diehard UC fan. I 1:22:26.800 --> 1:22:29.679 root for Luke Fickle. I root for, for the most part, 1:22:30.360 --> 1:22:32.760 all of the coaches who have come to UC and 1:22:32.880 --> 1:22:35.400 left U see, because I think most of them left 1:22:35.439 --> 1:22:38.680 it better than when they took it over. And you know, 1:22:38.800 --> 1:22:40.920 in particular Luke Fickle, like he was the coach when 1:22:40.920 --> 1:22:43.439 they were in the playoff man they had an undefeated season, Like, 1:22:43.720 --> 1:22:45.920 how could you root against that guy? And I think 1:22:45.960 --> 1:22:48.160 sometimes we focus so much on how it ends and 1:22:48.640 --> 1:22:50.400 not so much on the body of work. The body 1:22:50.439 --> 1:22:53.759 of work was incredible. So I root for him from afar, 1:22:54.960 --> 1:22:58.160 but I just wonder, Look, he's handsomely paid and when 1:22:58.200 --> 1:23:01.559 they fire him, he's gonna get a you know, years 1:23:01.600 --> 1:23:03.920 worth of buyout money, and so nobody is gonna feel 1:23:03.960 --> 1:23:07.400 sorry for him. But Scott Sadderfield at you See has 1:23:07.520 --> 1:23:09.880 things trending in the right direction. I don't think they're 1:23:09.960 --> 1:23:13.120 there quite yet, quite frankly, but he's got a football 1:23:13.160 --> 1:23:14.880 team that I don't think has a ton of weaknesses. 1:23:16.000 --> 1:23:19.599 I don't think they have any major glaring holes. They've 1:23:19.640 --> 1:23:23.160 got a good collection of talent, they're well coached, they're 1:23:23.240 --> 1:23:25.479 competing in the Big twelve. We'll see if they can 1:23:25.520 --> 1:23:28.439 avoid a second half meltdown like the one they saw 1:23:28.560 --> 1:23:30.240 last year. And I think they will because I just 1:23:30.280 --> 1:23:33.760 think they have more Big twelve caliber players and so 1:23:33.960 --> 1:23:37.640 we'll see. I just if you're Luke Fickle and you know, 1:23:37.720 --> 1:23:41.040 the Big ten that he joined at Wisconsin is not 1:23:41.160 --> 1:23:44.880 the Big ten that Wisconsin is playing now. The Big 1:23:45.000 --> 1:23:48.040 twelve that you see is in is not easy, but 1:23:48.160 --> 1:23:50.800 it's not the Big ten that Wisconsin is playing now. 1:23:51.960 --> 1:23:54.800 I just I wonder if deep down inside he's not 1:23:55.320 --> 1:23:59.240 asking himself, what if? What if he sees it through 1:23:59.320 --> 1:24:01.960 at you see? Is there for the leap to the 1:24:02.000 --> 1:24:06.880 Big twelve? Is here during the era of the college 1:24:06.920 --> 1:24:11.000 football playoff, where the championship tournament has never been more accessible. 1:24:11.600 --> 1:24:14.040 At a program where you can win, at a program 1:24:14.120 --> 1:24:17.360 where they have figured out some things. From an nil perspective, 1:24:18.320 --> 1:24:22.439 what would life be like instead of being in a 1:24:22.560 --> 1:24:24.280 job where it feels like you have no chance of 1:24:24.360 --> 1:24:28.519 winning big and where you are reviled by the fan base. 1:24:29.600 --> 1:24:33.280 I don't know, but by the way, I do think 1:24:33.320 --> 1:24:35.400 you see will avoid what happened last season. I'm not 1:24:35.520 --> 1:24:36.960 here to tell you they're gonna win the Big twelve. 1:24:36.960 --> 1:24:38.599 I'm not here to tell you that they're gonna win tomorrow. 1:24:39.520 --> 1:24:42.640 But you know, last year, I think the offense went 1:24:42.680 --> 1:24:44.160 into a shell in the second half of the season. 1:24:44.160 --> 1:24:45.800 They didn't have dudes on the outside. Now I think 1:24:45.840 --> 1:24:47.840 they have dudes on the outside. And while there are 1:24:47.960 --> 1:24:50.200 weaknesses and they've got to be better defensively, and they've 1:24:50.240 --> 1:24:52.080 got to get Dante Corleone on the field for a 1:24:52.200 --> 1:24:55.280 larger percentage of the snaps, I don't know that there 1:24:55.320 --> 1:24:58.280 are many glaring holes in that football team. And I 1:24:58.400 --> 1:25:00.599 certainly don't think that there's a game on the schedule 1:25:00.840 --> 1:25:02.360 between now and the end of the season that they 1:25:02.439 --> 1:25:07.360 cannot win.

There is a slight chance of rain, 1:27:56.000 --> 1:27:58.360 but again mostly cloudy in a high of fifty seven. 1:27:58.720 --> 1:28:02.559 Speaking of weather, forecas as say Tropical Storm Melissa expected 1:28:02.600 --> 1:28:07.200 to intensify into a major hurricane this weekend, slamming parts 1:28:07.200 --> 1:28:11.760 of the Caribbean. Could bring catastrophic flash flooding and landslides 1:28:11.800 --> 1:28:16.200 to Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican industry. Wide shortage of 1:28:16.320 --> 1:28:19.800 semiconductors the reason the Honda plant in Marysville beginning to 1:28:19.880 --> 1:28:23.679 pull back on production. Honda not specific about the amount 1:28:23.760 --> 1:28:26.760 of reduction in the length of it. Honda says impacted 1:28:26.880 --> 1:28:31.240 employees have the option to continue working, use paid time off, 1:28:31.439 --> 1:28:35.600 or take time off without pay. Two Planned Parenthood affiliates 1:28:35.680 --> 1:28:39.760 challenging the Ohio Department of Medicaid from prohibiting their participation 1:28:40.320 --> 1:28:44.439 in the federal health insurance program. According to a news release, 1:28:44.800 --> 1:28:48.960 ODM sent letters to Planned Parenthood of Greater Cincinnati and 1:28:49.040 --> 1:28:53.200 Planned Parenthood Southwest Ohio Region in late September informing them 1:28:53.280 --> 1:28:57.479 of the termination. The release says that the change would 1:28:57.560 --> 1:29:01.320 prevent over twenty seven thousand people from receiving affordable care 1:29:01.400 --> 1:29:05.759 across Ohio, and now both affiliates want an administrative hearing 1:29:05.920 --> 1:29:09.519 to challenge the state agency's decision. Day twenty five of 1:29:09.600 --> 1:29:13.880 the federal government shutdown comes tomorrow. Vote on a funding 1:29:13.960 --> 1:29:16.200 bill continues to flop in the Senate. 1:29:16.400 --> 1:29:17.360 Rints and repeat. 1:29:17.400 --> 1:29:20.559 Government funding legislation goes to the Senate for the same 1:29:20.600 --> 1:29:22.559 bill that passed out of the House, and it gets 1:29:22.680 --> 1:29:25.400 three Senate Democrats to vote for it, but nowhere near 1:29:25.520 --> 1:29:27.920 the needed number of Senate Democrats to get it over 1:29:28.000 --> 1:29:30.040 the goal line, and it fails. That has happened now 1:29:30.400 --> 1:29:33.080 twelve more times, and we expect that to start happening 1:29:33.280 --> 1:29:36.439 when the Senate returns here to Washington early next week 1:29:36.479 --> 1:29:39.759 as well. There's no deal insight, there are no negotiations happening, 1:29:40.120 --> 1:29:42.640 and there aren't really any signs of negotiations that might 1:29:42.720 --> 1:29:43.320 even start. 1:29:43.600 --> 1:29:47.840 On sabc'sjo'brien, half million federal workers missed the paycheck today 1:29:48.320 --> 1:29:51.840 air traffic controllers. They will start to miss those paychecks 1:29:52.520 --> 1:29:55.439 starting next week, and the next round of payroll for 1:29:56.240 --> 1:30:00.400 US service members is Halloween. There's no plan on how 1:30:00.439 --> 1:30:03.920 to cover those paychecks.

My 1:31:16.960 --> 1:31:20.759 show's on ESPN fifteen thirty from three to six tonight. 1:31:20.800 --> 1:31:24.120 Though with the King of Centerville Alex Egan producing, I 1:31:24.200 --> 1:31:27.680 get a chance to fill in. Sterling is going to 1:31:27.760 --> 1:31:30.680 join us at nine o'clock. You know, by the way, 1:31:31.040 --> 1:31:34.439 I do not mean to come off and I don't 1:31:34.720 --> 1:31:37.400 come off as negative when it comes to the Bengals. Look, 1:31:37.400 --> 1:31:39.719 if they lose. If the Bengals lose to the Steelers 1:31:39.800 --> 1:31:42.640 and they're two and five, nobody cares about how they 1:31:42.680 --> 1:31:44.920 play against the Jets, and then nobody's talking about what 1:31:45.000 --> 1:31:47.240 they can do to keep the thing afloat make the postseason. 1:31:47.520 --> 1:31:50.599 But they did win, so the question becomes like, all right, 1:31:51.479 --> 1:31:53.799 what can they do better and what can they sustain 1:31:53.960 --> 1:31:56.479 By the way they ran the ball really well against Pittsburgh, 1:31:56.600 --> 1:31:59.200 is that an outlier? Does that proved to be something 1:31:59.320 --> 1:32:02.040 that was a on off or can they build upon that? 1:32:02.160 --> 1:32:07.920 Can they run it effectively? Moving forward the Joe Flacco thing, 1:32:09.479 --> 1:32:12.760 there's a part of you that wonders, like, Number one, 1:32:12.880 --> 1:32:16.200 why did this go so poorly? With Jake Browning? Number two. 1:32:16.400 --> 1:32:18.960 How bad would this have gotten had they stayed with him? 1:32:19.040 --> 1:32:21.720 So they didn't sit around and wait, they went They 1:32:21.800 --> 1:32:23.920 got a guy who was a quick study, a guy 1:32:23.960 --> 1:32:26.439 who knows how to throw the football to open guys 1:32:26.520 --> 1:32:29.040 like Jamar Chase and t Higgins. But you do wonder. 1:32:29.640 --> 1:32:33.920 You do wonder defensively, like when it's time for that 1:32:34.120 --> 1:32:35.920 unit to win a game, will they be able to? 1:32:36.560 --> 1:32:38.400 And there's a bunch of different ways to look at this. 1:32:39.680 --> 1:32:42.640 The only way it really gets better, though, is if 1:32:42.720 --> 1:32:46.519 these young guys end up paying dividends. Shamar Stewart. Shamar 1:32:46.560 --> 1:32:50.400 Stewart's obviously dealt with injury. Shamar Stewart had an eventful offseason, 1:32:50.439 --> 1:32:52.200 but when he got on the field during training camp, 1:32:52.240 --> 1:32:55.880 he was terrific. Wentn't very good against Pittsburgh. But Shamar 1:32:55.960 --> 1:32:57.960 Stewart's gonna have to make an impact this season. We 1:32:58.080 --> 1:33:02.280 said that the night they drafted him and Demetrius Knight 1:33:02.360 --> 1:33:05.400 and Barrett Carter, like it's gonna have to come from 1:33:05.439 --> 1:33:08.000 guys like that. It's gonna have to come from more 1:33:08.080 --> 1:33:12.160 guys who make the sudden leap that DJ Turner has made. 1:33:12.840 --> 1:33:15.240 A guy who at times has been in the Doghouse himself, 1:33:17.240 --> 1:33:19.680 and the last couple of weeks he's played like one 1:33:19.720 --> 1:33:22.920 of the best corners in the NFL. Like what Al 1:33:23.080 --> 1:33:26.800 Golden has decided to do with the backing of Zach 1:33:26.880 --> 1:33:29.720 Taylor and maybe the backing of the front office. Is 1:33:29.800 --> 1:33:32.760 gonna have to pay dividends at some point, and if 1:33:32.800 --> 1:33:35.479 it doesn't, then this team's defense will limit it. My 1:33:35.600 --> 1:33:38.240 take on the Bengals before the season, and I'm obviously 1:33:38.360 --> 1:33:40.880 not the only person who felt this way, was they're 1:33:40.880 --> 1:33:42.840 a team that can make the playoffs. I don't put 1:33:42.920 --> 1:33:45.840 him in the championship conversation because they have these two 1:33:46.000 --> 1:33:48.080 massive units that I do not trust. One is the 1:33:48.120 --> 1:33:51.320 offensive line, the other is the entire defense. Has the 1:33:51.400 --> 1:33:54.439 defense done anything through seven games to make you feel 1:33:54.479 --> 1:33:57.599 like it's trustworthy. I'm still watching Gino's Stone back there, 1:33:59.360 --> 1:34:01.920 and apparent like has the longest leash of all time. 1:34:03.240 --> 1:34:05.759 So these rookies are going to have to start paying dividends, 1:34:05.800 --> 1:34:07.320 and they're going to have to start doing it quickly. 1:34:07.439 --> 1:34:09.679 The only way that happens is for them to play. 1:34:10.920 --> 1:34:11.080 Now. 1:34:11.160 --> 1:34:14.000 There's a whole other series of conversations about why Duke 1:34:14.080 --> 1:34:17.080 Tobin didn't do more to make the defense better. They 1:34:17.200 --> 1:34:20.679 literally didn't acquire another defensive back. They're the same at safety. 1:34:20.760 --> 1:34:22.679 They've run it back with a bunch of dbs, bunch 1:34:22.720 --> 1:34:29.200 of corners. But moving forward, if it ain't for the rookies, 1:34:29.800 --> 1:34:33.320 how does this unit get better and help them win 1:34:33.479 --> 1:34:36.000 games instead of getting in the way of winning games. 1:34:37.000 --> 1:34:38.519 More on that coming up here in just a bit. 1:34:38.640 --> 1:34:40.960 FC Cincinnati is the two seed in the Eastern Conference 1:34:41.000 --> 1:34:44.160 of the MLS Cup Playoffs. Dax McCarty's going to be 1:34:44.240 --> 1:34:46.879 calling the series The Orange and Blue and the Columbus 1:34:46.920 --> 1:34:49.920 Crew starting on Monday night.

You'll hear Lance on 1:36:36.200 --> 1:36:39.800 Monday for Bengals lines. Speaking of Monday, Game one, best 1:36:39.840 --> 1:36:44.000 of three MLS Cup first Round series, FC Cincinnati hosting 1:36:44.040 --> 1:36:47.560 the first game against Columbus six forty five at the 1:36:47.800 --> 1:36:49.960 Soccer Stadium on the West end of Cincinnati. You could 1:36:49.960 --> 1:36:53.479 watch it on Apple TV's MLS Season Pass. Dax McCarty, 1:36:53.920 --> 1:36:57.840 longtime MLS Stars, now a match analyst for MLS Season Pass. 1:36:58.160 --> 1:37:00.880 Awesome to have you. You've got the series one Monday. 1:37:02.200 --> 1:37:05.840 The Eastern Conference feels very wide open, much more wide 1:37:05.840 --> 1:37:08.840 open than last year, although the New York Red Bulls 1:37:08.960 --> 1:37:11.320 kind of came out of nowhere to represent the East 1:37:11.720 --> 1:37:13.839 this year. When you look at that half of the bracket, 1:37:14.200 --> 1:37:16.679 how many teams do you look at as legitimate threats 1:37:16.720 --> 1:37:17.280 to make. 1:37:17.240 --> 1:37:17.960 The final. 1:37:19.280 --> 1:37:19.479 Eight? 1:37:21.720 --> 1:37:25.920 Legitimately, mo, I can make an argument for all eight 1:37:26.040 --> 1:37:29.080 teams on the Eastern side to make a run at 1:37:29.240 --> 1:37:32.520 MLS Cup. And I think that's what makes these playoffs 1:37:32.600 --> 1:37:37.519 so compelling, so interesting. Last year was crazy if you 1:37:37.640 --> 1:37:40.760 remember how how the playoffs went down last year. There 1:37:40.800 --> 1:37:45.519 were upsets everywhere in terms of quite frankly, the team 1:37:45.600 --> 1:37:49.759 that wasn't the clearly inferior team i e. My Atlanta 1:37:49.840 --> 1:37:52.240 United Team, i e. The New York Red Bulls and 1:37:52.320 --> 1:37:54.880 the Columbus versus the Columbus Crew. There were teams that 1:37:55.000 --> 1:37:58.120 just sprang upset left and right. If I go down 1:37:58.160 --> 1:38:00.679 the list of all the different matchup in the East, 1:38:01.240 --> 1:38:03.320 it's really hard for me to determine who a favorite 1:38:03.360 --> 1:38:06.920 is in any of these matchups. And that's what makes 1:38:07.360 --> 1:38:10.519 this year in MLS and specifically in the Eastern Conference 1:38:10.640 --> 1:38:15.880 so interesting, so chaotic, so drama filled, is that I 1:38:16.080 --> 1:38:18.680 legitimately see a world in which every one of these 1:38:18.760 --> 1:38:20.960 series can go to three games, and then in the 1:38:21.000 --> 1:38:24.360 third game it's anyone's It's anyone's game. So I tend 1:38:24.400 --> 1:38:27.880 to give the favoritism towards the home team and the 1:38:27.960 --> 1:38:30.320 teams that have home field advantaged off this first round. 1:38:30.720 --> 1:38:33.040 But as we saw last year, that didn't make a 1:38:33.080 --> 1:38:35.160 heck of a lot of difference with certain series. And 1:38:35.280 --> 1:38:38.080 so it's a totally new new season. As I'm sure 1:38:38.120 --> 1:38:41.080 all of you you and all your listeners know, you 1:38:41.560 --> 1:38:43.439 kind of have to throw out everything that happened in 1:38:43.479 --> 1:38:46.400 the regular season and just focus on the sprint that 1:38:46.640 --> 1:38:47.320 is the playoffs. 1:38:49.080 --> 1:38:52.400 FC Cincinnati, Chris Albright, the GM made a lot of 1:38:52.520 --> 1:38:56.799 moves during that lay transfer window, perhaps most notably bringing 1:38:56.920 --> 1:38:59.000 Brenner back. And you know what Chris said at the 1:38:59.080 --> 1:39:01.599 time was we are built to win. Now we're better 1:39:01.720 --> 1:39:05.200 built to win. How much did those acquisitions and moves 1:39:05.680 --> 1:39:08.400 better fortify them for a postseason run? 1:39:09.680 --> 1:39:11.400 Yeah, it was the smart move and it was the 1:39:11.520 --> 1:39:14.240 right play from Chris Albright and Pat Noon and. 1:39:14.280 --> 1:39:15.320 Of that whole front office. 1:39:16.040 --> 1:39:21.240 Cincinnati is an extremely competitive team. I would say that 1:39:21.400 --> 1:39:24.840 they are in the upper echelon of best teams in 1:39:24.960 --> 1:39:27.519 MLS with the most consistency throughout the last three or 1:39:27.560 --> 1:39:30.840 four years. I believe it's actually the Columbus Crew and 1:39:31.600 --> 1:39:34.120 f C Cincinnati are the only two teams in MLS 1:39:34.200 --> 1:39:36.720 the last three years that have both hit fifty four 1:39:36.800 --> 1:39:40.559 points or above. And so they're in a club all 1:39:40.640 --> 1:39:43.639 on their own, and so you have to give credit 1:39:43.720 --> 1:39:45.840 that he's coaching staffs. You have to give credit to 1:39:46.360 --> 1:39:49.320 the front office for being able to constantly reload. I 1:39:49.400 --> 1:39:51.320 think it would have been really easy for Cincinnati to 1:39:51.400 --> 1:39:53.160 have a little bit of a down year after losing 1:39:53.240 --> 1:39:54.040 Lucho Acosta. 1:39:54.479 --> 1:39:55.080 But what do you do. 1:39:55.280 --> 1:39:57.439 You go out and you get one of the best 1:39:57.439 --> 1:40:00.000 players in Major League Soccer in Evander, and he repaid 1:40:00.240 --> 1:40:02.800 that faith instantly being one of the best players in 1:40:02.880 --> 1:40:06.320 the league's he's must CTV every time he's on the ball. 1:40:06.840 --> 1:40:09.960 But going out and getting a third scoring option, I 1:40:10.040 --> 1:40:13.560 think was key because for all the good things that 1:40:13.680 --> 1:40:16.439 Kai Kamara does, for all the good things that Dado 1:40:16.560 --> 1:40:19.800 Valenzuela do, for all the good things that Ya Yakubo 1:40:19.920 --> 1:40:22.400 has done when he's had to play in an attacking position, 1:40:22.960 --> 1:40:24.800 none of them is an out and out goal scorer. 1:40:24.960 --> 1:40:27.120 None of them are going to be able to get 1:40:27.160 --> 1:40:30.000 you ten twelve goals when you need them to. Kai 1:40:30.080 --> 1:40:34.120 Kamara has been excellent, but he hasn't scored. His hold 1:40:34.200 --> 1:40:36.360 up play, he opens up space for other players. It's 1:40:36.360 --> 1:40:38.800 all at a really high level, but Kai doesn't score 1:40:39.200 --> 1:40:41.320 at the same clip that he used to. Valezuela is 1:40:41.360 --> 1:40:43.760 more of a creative midfielder. So to go out and 1:40:43.800 --> 1:40:46.080 get a difference maker, a game changer in the attack 1:40:46.160 --> 1:40:48.640 in Brenner, and then you add that to Evander and 1:40:48.760 --> 1:40:51.479 Kevin Denk who are all match winners. That was a 1:40:51.560 --> 1:40:54.800 really shrewd move because the FT Cincinnati roster is built 1:40:54.840 --> 1:40:58.320 to win now and we've seen a supporter shield. We've 1:40:58.400 --> 1:41:02.120 seen a couple playoff runs, but we haven't seen enough 1:41:02.320 --> 1:41:06.679 in the postseason from FC Cincinnati. Adding Brenner, adding Dominic 1:41:06.800 --> 1:41:09.600 Marshuk on loan from Salt Lake, I think was a 1:41:09.680 --> 1:41:11.840 really smart and shrewd move to be able to add 1:41:11.920 --> 1:41:14.640 a little bit of depth at winger. But FT Cincinnati 1:41:14.680 --> 1:41:17.200 has game changers all over the field now. It would 1:41:17.200 --> 1:41:19.559 be a disappointment if they didn't make a deep playoff run. 1:41:20.680 --> 1:41:22.800 You know, you you mentioned a lot of guys that 1:41:22.920 --> 1:41:25.280 this club has acquired, and look, you you acquire a 1:41:25.360 --> 1:41:27.600 player like a Vander, you expect him to fit in 1:41:27.720 --> 1:41:29.360 just because he's going to score a bunch of goals. 1:41:29.400 --> 1:41:32.120 But it's always it's always stood out to me ever 1:41:32.200 --> 1:41:34.840 since Chris Albright and Pat Noonan took over this franchise 1:41:35.400 --> 1:41:38.360 that whenever they acquire a piece from outside, whether it's 1:41:38.600 --> 1:41:41.839 it's from another MLS club, whether it's an international signing, 1:41:42.160 --> 1:41:44.599 whether it's somebody who joins the team before the season, 1:41:44.720 --> 1:41:46.960 or whether it's somebody who joins the team once the 1:41:47.040 --> 1:41:50.439 season is underway. Almost every single time, it feels like 1:41:50.760 --> 1:41:54.320 that player just fits in seamlessly. From your perspective, having 1:41:54.400 --> 1:41:57.479 played in the league forever, how hard is it to 1:41:57.640 --> 1:42:00.320 do that nearly every single time you bring in somebody 1:42:00.360 --> 1:42:01.240 from outside. 1:42:02.080 --> 1:42:05.360 Yeah, that's extremely hard. And I hope people, I hope 1:42:05.400 --> 1:42:08.680 people on the outside supporters of the club realize what 1:42:08.800 --> 1:42:11.000 a great job Chris Albright has done and what a 1:42:11.080 --> 1:42:12.920 great job Pat Noonon has done to be able to 1:42:12.960 --> 1:42:14.440 integrate players as quickly. 1:42:14.200 --> 1:42:14.600 As they have. 1:42:15.320 --> 1:42:18.800 That's not always the case, as you just mentioned. I've 1:42:18.880 --> 1:42:21.920 seen numerous players that have turned out to be good 1:42:22.000 --> 1:42:25.400 MLS players, it takes them three, four, five, sometimes even 1:42:25.720 --> 1:42:27.920 seven eight months to be able to acclimate and to 1:42:28.000 --> 1:42:30.439 be able to really contribute at a high level. So 1:42:31.240 --> 1:42:35.599 to go get Brenner was extra smart because he already 1:42:35.680 --> 1:42:38.120 knew the club. He already knew what the expectations were. 1:42:38.240 --> 1:42:41.000 He knows the training facility, he knows the stadium right, 1:42:41.120 --> 1:42:43.280 he knows Major League soccer and what it takes to 1:42:43.360 --> 1:42:46.479 be successful in Major League Soccer. To go bet Dominic Marshak, 1:42:46.479 --> 1:42:49.720 who already has an acclamation period, with salt Lake and 1:42:49.840 --> 1:42:52.000 now he's just coming to a new team and maybe 1:42:52.080 --> 1:42:54.000 fit in a system that is more suited to his 1:42:54.200 --> 1:42:57.240 talent and to his skill level. I think that was 1:42:57.439 --> 1:43:00.120 a really shrewd move right for this front office. So 1:43:01.280 --> 1:43:03.080 you just go up and down the roster and you 1:43:03.200 --> 1:43:07.320 see so many game changers, difference makers, players that are 1:43:07.360 --> 1:43:09.160 going to have a difference and make a difference in 1:43:09.280 --> 1:43:13.080 this roster. I've been really impressed every time I've seen 1:43:13.120 --> 1:43:16.560 Samuel Gide play. I really like his qualities and what 1:43:16.720 --> 1:43:19.640 he brings and can add into the midfield. So FC 1:43:19.760 --> 1:43:23.920 Cincinnati has depth, they have difference makers. They really need 1:43:24.040 --> 1:43:26.840 to put a stake in the ground in twenty twenty five. 1:43:27.520 --> 1:43:30.479 This is their year and it's the most competitive Eastern 1:43:30.520 --> 1:43:33.720 Conference that I've ever seen. And like I said at 1:43:33.760 --> 1:43:35.800 the top of the top of the show, any one 1:43:35.840 --> 1:43:38.080 of these eight teams can make a run. But I'm 1:43:38.120 --> 1:43:40.360 looking at FC Cincinnati as one of the favorites. I 1:43:40.479 --> 1:43:43.679 picked them before the season started to win MLS Cup, 1:43:44.120 --> 1:43:46.840 and They've made me kind of question myself a little 1:43:46.840 --> 1:43:49.320 bit throughout the season. But I'm sticking with my prediction 1:43:49.560 --> 1:43:51.439 because of the fact that they have so many game 1:43:51.520 --> 1:43:52.920 changers all. 1:43:52.920 --> 1:43:54.760 Right in the way right now, by the way. Dax 1:43:54.880 --> 1:43:58.400 McCarty MLS season pass Apple TV with us FC Cincinnati 1:43:58.479 --> 1:44:01.439 and Columbus on Monday night, Game one, six five on 1:44:01.520 --> 1:44:04.280 the West End of Cincinnati. I think most FC Cincinnati 1:44:04.400 --> 1:44:08.040 fans are really excited about the playoffs, all of them are. 1:44:08.200 --> 1:44:11.759 I think most go man Round one, anybody but Columbus. 1:44:12.120 --> 1:44:15.280 And yet here we are, where does the Crew pose 1:44:15.320 --> 1:44:16.040 the biggest threat? 1:44:17.240 --> 1:44:19.160 It's so funny that you say that mode because I 1:44:19.240 --> 1:44:22.760 made the argument once the playoffs were finalized on decision Day, 1:44:23.320 --> 1:44:25.639 I made the argument that f C Cincinnati the only 1:44:25.720 --> 1:44:27.519 team that they wouldn't want to see in Round one 1:44:28.000 --> 1:44:30.760 of the playoffs was the Columbus Crew. And I got 1:44:30.800 --> 1:44:32.720 a little bit of stick coming back from, you know, 1:44:32.840 --> 1:44:35.400 some of my co hosts and co analysts, and they 1:44:35.439 --> 1:44:38.040 were like, no, Cincinnati will be confident they're the better team, 1:44:38.360 --> 1:44:42.519 and I just said, look, I just wonder if because 1:44:42.600 --> 1:44:49.960 they play a similar formation, because they have that institutional 1:44:50.080 --> 1:44:52.280 know how of Wilford Nancy and his system and the 1:44:52.360 --> 1:44:55.160 way that they play, I think it's a really tough 1:44:55.240 --> 1:44:57.560 matchup for s C Cincinnati, and I think that this 1:44:57.760 --> 1:45:00.720 is going to be just as a as it was 1:45:00.800 --> 1:45:03.519 in twenty twenty three, where we all remember that epic 1:45:03.600 --> 1:45:07.840 playoff game that they played between the teams, And don't 1:45:07.960 --> 1:45:12.320 underestimate the power of a legend retiring in a team 1:45:12.400 --> 1:45:14.200 wanting to send him out on top. I think the 1:45:14.320 --> 1:45:17.080 power of Darlington Nagby in his statement that he made 1:45:17.400 --> 1:45:19.120 that he was going to be retiring when the season 1:45:19.280 --> 1:45:22.360 was over. His extra motivation for the Columbus Crew. I 1:45:22.439 --> 1:45:25.120 think the fact that they got a big win on 1:45:25.240 --> 1:45:27.439 decision Day and they got a little bit of confidence, 1:45:27.479 --> 1:45:30.000 because this is a Columbus Crew team that quite frankly, 1:45:30.080 --> 1:45:33.040 has been limping into the playoffs, but now that they've 1:45:33.080 --> 1:45:36.560 rediscovered their mojo a little bit. Daniel Gazdag got on 1:45:36.640 --> 1:45:40.000 the score sheet, Diego Rossi is rumored to be fit 1:45:40.160 --> 1:45:43.560 and available. This is a Columbus Crew team that e 1:45:43.600 --> 1:45:45.640 FC Cincinnati is going to have their hands full with. 1:45:45.800 --> 1:45:47.840 And so if I know Pat Noonan, I know that 1:45:47.920 --> 1:45:49.640 he's got scared. I know that he's going to be 1:45:49.720 --> 1:45:52.400 confident going in there and being able to win at TQL. 1:45:53.000 --> 1:45:54.920 But the Columbus Crew do a lot of things well 1:45:55.280 --> 1:45:57.960 and e FC Cincinnati they need to make sure that 1:45:58.000 --> 1:46:00.240 when they're in these close games they defend a little 1:46:00.240 --> 1:46:03.280 bit better than they've been defending recently, because towards the 1:46:03.360 --> 1:46:06.000 end of the season they conceded really sloppy goals. And 1:46:06.040 --> 1:46:09.400 if you're going to give the Columbus crew extra opportunities 1:46:09.479 --> 1:46:11.240 to punish you, they can certainly do that. 1:46:12.960 --> 1:46:15.000 At no point during the coverage on Monday, are you 1:46:15.120 --> 1:46:17.439 guys allowed to show highlights of that twenty twenty three 1:46:17.479 --> 1:46:18.439 Eastern Conference Final? 1:46:18.479 --> 1:46:24.679 Okay, hey, talk to the producers, Buddy, talk to the producers. 1:46:24.760 --> 1:46:26.080 That's not my will. 1:46:26.160 --> 1:46:31.040 Holse oh man, it still stings, hopefully, hopefully a measure 1:46:31.080 --> 1:46:33.679 of revenge in this best of three series which begins 1:46:33.760 --> 1:46:36.240 on Monday. Dak's awesome to have you love your work, 1:46:36.400 --> 1:46:38.639 appreciate the time man, enjoy the playoffs. 1:46:38.680 --> 1:46:42.680 Thanks so much anytime, Moe, that's the luck Epty Cincinnati. 1:46:43.800 --> 1:46:47.120 Much appreciated. Dax McCarty played in the League Forever MLS 1:46:47.680 --> 1:46:51.920 match analyst for MLS Season Pass on Apple TV Monday Night. 1:46:51.960 --> 1:46:53.720 I was going to say, Sunday, Monday night at six 1:46:53.840 --> 1:46:57.800 forty five, Game one, FC Cincinnati hosting Columbus. It's a 1:46:57.880 --> 1:47:01.960 best of three series in round one of course, of course, 1:47:02.880 --> 1:47:06.800 you can listen to the match on ESPN fifteen thirty 1:47:06.880 --> 1:47:10.519 Monday evening. It is twenty nine minutes after eight o'clock. 1:47:10.560 --> 1:47:14.280 You know, it's interesting there's been a surge of optimism 1:47:14.680 --> 1:47:19.439 among Bengals fans and understandably so. Right Flacco team beat 1:47:19.479 --> 1:47:24.640 the Steelers mini by little time to breathe playing a 1:47:24.920 --> 1:47:29.479 terrible Jets team on Sunday optimism and I'm here for it. 1:47:30.400 --> 1:47:33.360 But also you're starting to look at like mid December 1:47:33.479 --> 1:47:37.360 doesn't seem so far away. In mid December is when 1:47:37.439 --> 1:47:39.600 we are hoping that Joe Burrow can come back. So 1:47:39.800 --> 1:47:43.240 I kind of wanted to get a sense of, you know, 1:47:43.640 --> 1:47:46.640 if that's still realistic and some of the obstacles he 1:47:46.760 --> 1:47:48.519 still has to overcome. And so we're going to get 1:47:48.560 --> 1:47:51.559 an expert because that's what we do from Ortho Sinsey 1:47:51.680 --> 1:47:54.439 to talk Joe Burrow with us coming up in just 1:47:54.520 --> 1:47:56.840 about twenty minutes. We are looking forward to that. Don't 1:47:56.840 --> 1:48:00.599 forget Sunday. It's the Bengals and Jets. The game's live 1:48:00.680 --> 1:48:04.280 on seven hundred WLW. One o'clock is your kickoff.

This is the eight thirty report. I'm 1:48:29.320 --> 1:48:34.240 Matt Reeves breaking now. The huge US aircraft carrier Gerald R. 1:48:34.439 --> 1:48:38.799 Ford plus multiple warships are now steaming toward the Caribbean, 1:48:39.320 --> 1:48:42.800 dramatic escalation of what President Trump calls his war on 1:48:43.040 --> 1:48:47.480 drug cartels. There was a new air strike that obliterated 1:48:47.560 --> 1:48:50.840 a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, announced by the 1:48:50.920 --> 1:48:54.120 Secretary of War Pete Hegseth today. 1:48:54.240 --> 1:48:58.320 Seth saying at least six people were killed, claiming without evidence, 1:48:58.400 --> 1:49:01.760 the boat was being operated by trend To Aragua, a 1:49:01.960 --> 1:49:07.040 designated terrorist organization. It's the tenth known military attack on 1:49:07.120 --> 1:49:11.040 alleged drug boats, including two in the eastern Pacific Ocean 1:49:11.240 --> 1:49:12.240 of Central America. 1:49:12.520 --> 1:49:16.320 That's ABC's Martha Rabbits time to check the roads for 1:49:16.439 --> 1:49:18.759 you on this Friday night.

You heard Matt 1:53:50.800 --> 1:53:52.759 Reeve's Game one of the World Series. They have played 1:53:52.800 --> 1:53:57.280 an inning Dodgers and Blue Jays are scoreless. College basketball. 1:53:57.360 --> 1:54:02.320 Earlier tonight, Kentucky and Purdue played really entertaining exhibition game 1:54:02.479 --> 1:54:05.479 and the Wildcats were winners seventy eight to sixty five 1:54:06.120 --> 1:54:08.760 at rupp Areta. Kentucky's going to be really good this year, 1:54:09.080 --> 1:54:12.439 really good this year. There's some deep analysis for me. 1:54:12.600 --> 1:54:17.080 You see as playing an exhibition game right now against Arkansas, 1:54:17.240 --> 1:54:20.280 obviously coached by former UK head man John Calipari, and 1:54:20.280 --> 1:54:22.960 the Bearcats are struggling from deep. Last I saw two 1:54:23.000 --> 1:54:26.000 of nine from behind the arc. Arkansas leads thirty three 1:54:26.080 --> 1:54:30.840 to twenty two. If you are a Bearcat fan, and 1:54:31.240 --> 1:54:33.240 first of all, I don't want you to stop listening 1:54:33.320 --> 1:54:35.680 to me. But if you're a Bearcat fan and you 1:54:35.720 --> 1:54:38.040 want to watch the game tonight, if you're an ESPN 1:54:38.200 --> 1:54:42.200 Plus subscriber, I just learned this this morning. You have 1:54:42.360 --> 1:54:45.520 access to SEC Network Plus and you can watch the game. 1:54:45.600 --> 1:54:48.440 Cincinnati just missed another three. It's thirty three to twenty two. 1:54:48.720 --> 1:54:52.760 I love the fact that we get these exhibition games. 1:54:52.840 --> 1:54:55.760 The college basketball preseason has evolved, right. It used to 1:54:55.840 --> 1:55:00.040 be you know, they play athletes in action, right, and 1:55:00.200 --> 1:55:03.280 another traveling team that sort of thing, and then you 1:55:03.360 --> 1:55:06.400 got a chance to play. You know, when NKU was 1:55:06.440 --> 1:55:08.960 still a Division two school, Cincinnati and nk you would 1:55:09.000 --> 1:55:11.920 play in a somewhat regular basis in the preseason and 1:55:11.960 --> 1:55:14.400 they would play maybe a team from Canada or something, 1:55:14.520 --> 1:55:18.000 and then they started doing secret scrimmages. Now we get 1:55:18.040 --> 1:55:21.240 a chance to watch these teams, and there is a 1:55:21.280 --> 1:55:24.280 part of me that wishes, like, Cincinnati played Michigan last week, 1:55:24.600 --> 1:55:27.160 why can't that be a regular season game. Cincinnati's playing 1:55:27.240 --> 1:55:29.840 Arkansas tonight, why can't that be a regular season game. 1:55:30.880 --> 1:55:33.080 At the same time, you get a chance to watch 1:55:33.120 --> 1:55:36.440 against good competition, players that you have to get to 1:55:36.600 --> 1:55:39.200 know and get used to, and they have to get 1:55:39.720 --> 1:55:41.600 the hang of each other in an era where there's 1:55:41.680 --> 1:55:44.080 never been more turnover, and the best way to do 1:55:44.200 --> 1:55:47.080 that is against teams that actually matter. It's thirty five 1:55:47.080 --> 1:55:49.919 to twenty two. Arkansas leads that game over UC Bearkatz 1:55:49.960 --> 1:55:53.160 played terrific in the first half of their exhibition game 1:55:53.240 --> 1:55:57.000 against Michigan last week, and we're all gonna remind ourselves 1:55:57.040 --> 1:55:59.840 that these games don't count. Richard Patino that obviously, the 1:56:00.120 --> 1:56:02.720 new head coach at Xavier, made that point on social 1:56:02.800 --> 1:56:06.120 media emphatically after his team lost to Murray State last Saturday. 1:56:06.200 --> 1:56:09.280 These games don't count. If you're a Bearcat fan and 1:56:09.360 --> 1:56:13.240 you watched the exhibition game last year against Ohio State. 1:56:14.240 --> 1:56:16.560 If you're like me, you walked away thinking like, holy crap, 1:56:16.640 --> 1:56:19.280 these guys are gonna be awesome, and then they ended 1:56:19.360 --> 1:56:22.000 up not being awesome. So take everything with a grain 1:56:22.080 --> 1:56:25.040 of salt, but still fun to watch college basketball. In 1:56:25.640 --> 1:56:29.960 mid October twenty away from nine o'clock are now Carrier 1:56:30.000 --> 1:56:33.200 Sports Talk on seven hundred WLW. We started the show 1:56:33.280 --> 1:56:36.200 by talking about the Logan Wilson situation. You know, like 1:56:36.440 --> 1:56:39.600 he makes a trade request. The Bengals have gotten a 1:56:39.640 --> 1:56:42.760 lot of trade requests. Right, t Higgins requested a trade, 1:56:42.920 --> 1:56:46.760 didn't happen. Trey Hendrickson twice now has requested a trade. 1:56:47.200 --> 1:56:51.080 Doesn't happen. The Bengals don't just trade you because you ask. Now, 1:56:51.120 --> 1:56:52.680 there have been players who have wanted out and the 1:56:52.680 --> 1:56:55.480 Bengals have said, Okay, we'll do it. They viewed trading 1:56:55.520 --> 1:56:58.480 Carlow's Dunlap a few years ago twenty nineteen, Zach's first season. 1:56:58.560 --> 1:57:03.320 As addition, by subtraction, they traded Carson Palmer fourteen years 1:57:03.360 --> 1:57:06.600 ago because an offer came their way, a great offer 1:57:06.720 --> 1:57:08.720 for a player who had decided that he was never 1:57:08.760 --> 1:57:09.680 gonna play for him again. 1:57:10.400 --> 1:57:10.960 Just because you. 1:57:11.080 --> 1:57:14.360 Request a trade, if there's among the handful of things 1:57:14.440 --> 1:57:16.400 we have learned about the Cincinnati Bengals and how they 1:57:16.480 --> 1:57:19.400 do things you could ask don't mean doesn't mean they're 1:57:19.400 --> 1:57:21.680 given it to you. I joke about this every single time. 1:57:22.480 --> 1:57:24.040 You know, we did this with Trey Hendricks, and we 1:57:24.080 --> 1:57:26.920 did this with t Higgins this offseason. Who t has 1:57:26.960 --> 1:57:30.280 asked for a trade? T t wants to be Trey 1:57:30.440 --> 1:57:33.960 wants to be traded, And I go, like, that's cool. 1:57:34.600 --> 1:57:37.360 I have requested a snow cone machine in my studio. 1:57:39.240 --> 1:57:42.120 I haven't gotten it yet. I still come to work 1:57:42.200 --> 1:57:44.880 with a good attitude and so like, I give these 1:57:44.960 --> 1:57:47.120 players the benefit of the doubt. And Zach Taylor has 1:57:47.160 --> 1:57:49.560 talked about this this week, addressing the fact that Logan 1:57:49.600 --> 1:57:51.720 has asked for a trade, Like, all right, he's made 1:57:51.760 --> 1:57:56.080 that request, and I understand he's not playing as much. 1:57:57.000 --> 1:57:59.240 He's hurt, he doesn't want to serve in a diminished role. 1:58:00.560 --> 1:58:02.640 Twenty nine years old, still thinks he has a lot 1:58:02.680 --> 1:58:04.680 of really good years left in him, like I get it. 1:58:05.680 --> 1:58:07.840 I would prefer to not play here anymore. I'd prefer 1:58:07.920 --> 1:58:10.040 to play for a team that you know is going 1:58:10.120 --> 1:58:14.200 to give me the playing time I was getting. But 1:58:14.320 --> 1:58:16.920 that trade request, I don't believe is going to at 1:58:16.960 --> 1:58:20.080 all preclude him from preparing the right way. By the 1:58:20.120 --> 1:58:23.320 way he played in I think the number was forty 1:58:23.400 --> 1:58:27.040 six percent of their defensive snaps against Pittsburgh. It's not 1:58:27.240 --> 1:58:30.800 like he didn't dress, not like they told him, dude, 1:58:30.840 --> 1:58:33.520 don't come to the stadium. He still had an active 1:58:33.640 --> 1:58:37.960 role in that game. And so I would expect as 1:58:37.960 --> 1:58:39.960 a fan exactly what I'm sure the coaches and I'm 1:58:40.000 --> 1:58:42.680 sure what his teammates expect, which is, dude, you're not happy, 1:58:42.760 --> 1:58:46.960 that's okay, but you still have to prepare. You still 1:58:47.040 --> 1:58:49.360 have to do what's needed to help the team one 1:58:49.440 --> 1:58:51.920 called upon. Any one of us can be discruddled in 1:58:52.000 --> 1:58:54.800 our jobs, and you may want out, you may want change, 1:58:54.840 --> 1:58:56.320 and you may have things you want the boss to 1:58:56.360 --> 1:58:59.800 give you, and you may want different working conditions. But 1:58:59.840 --> 1:59:02.000 as as long as you're still there, you have an 1:59:02.040 --> 1:59:05.920 obligation to everybody to still handle your business like a pro. 1:59:06.120 --> 1:59:08.920 And I expect Logan Wilson to do that. I just 1:59:09.960 --> 1:59:12.560 this is gonna sound harsh, because Logan Wilson has been 1:59:12.640 --> 1:59:16.680 really good here. Number One, I give the Bengals credit 1:59:16.760 --> 1:59:20.040 for not leaning on what Logan has meant. Instead, they're 1:59:20.080 --> 1:59:23.240 looking toward what's next and looking toward what's next with 1:59:23.360 --> 1:59:25.640 the defense that Logan Wilson was a part of and 1:59:25.800 --> 1:59:30.440 not really helping. Number two. Like, I watched the first 1:59:30.480 --> 1:59:33.120 four or five games in the season, and while I 1:59:33.160 --> 1:59:35.520 don't think you could say that Logan Wilson was playing poorly, 1:59:36.640 --> 1:59:41.200 how many times did you notice him? I'll be honest 1:59:41.200 --> 1:59:42.880 with you. I thought he played very well against the 1:59:42.920 --> 1:59:47.640 Browns the first game. Aside from that, like never, So, 1:59:48.160 --> 1:59:50.760 you've got a linebacker who's not making a lot of plays, 1:59:51.160 --> 1:59:53.760 You've got a team that drafted two of them this 1:59:54.240 --> 1:59:59.000 past April, and you've got a defensive coordinator who can 1:59:59.080 --> 2:00:01.760 only make change within the parameters of what he has. 2:00:02.920 --> 2:00:05.000 What he has as a rookie linebacker that they think 2:00:05.080 --> 2:00:07.040 highly of, that they think is a part of their future. 2:00:07.520 --> 2:00:11.840 They're looking for a spark, they're looking for something different 2:00:11.880 --> 2:00:14.520 than what they've been getting. They went to a place 2:00:14.560 --> 2:00:16.640 where they replaced one guy who wasn't doing all that 2:00:16.800 --> 2:00:21.320 much with another guy who knows so I don't know, 2:00:21.440 --> 2:00:24.000 man Logan Wilson. Somebody described him as a fan favorite, 2:00:24.040 --> 2:00:27.360 like we like Logan Wilson. I don't know that I've 2:00:27.360 --> 2:00:30.760 ever seen a Logan Wilson jersey. But they made this move. 2:00:30.840 --> 2:00:34.000 I think for pure football reasons, not sentimentality, not what 2:00:34.080 --> 2:00:36.880 he's been in the past, not because he's maybe a 2:00:37.000 --> 2:00:39.680 fan favorite. But we think there's more upside with the 2:00:39.720 --> 2:00:41.880 other guy, and at the very least, we think there's 2:00:41.960 --> 2:00:46.400 a possible payoff to the growing pains he may suffer 2:00:46.480 --> 2:00:47.160 in the short term. 2:00:47.240 --> 2:00:48.160 We will see. 2:00:48.640 --> 2:00:51.720 We'll also see if Joe Burrow is capable of coming 2:00:51.840 --> 2:00:55.440 back when everybody hopes, which is obviously mid December. We'll 2:00:55.440 --> 2:00:58.080 get a doctor's thoughts on that. As the Dodgers take 2:00:58.160 --> 2:00:59.840 a one nothing lead in the top of the second 2:01:00.200 --> 2:01:02.240 in Game one of the World Series, Doctor Nick gates 2:01:02.640 --> 2:01:04.960 from Ortho Sinsey on Joe Burrow. 2:01:05.160 --> 2:01:07.080 Next on ESPN fifteen to thirty. 2:01:08.000 --> 2:01:11.520 With Dve Lapham's and Triment into the Bengals Ring of Honor, 2:01:11.880 --> 2:01:16.080 we pay tribute to the life of lap presented by Skyline. 2:01:16.240 --> 2:01:18.160 Feeling Good against the Skyline time. 2:01:18.520 --> 2:01:19.360 Now here's Dan. 2:01:19.480 --> 2:01:23.480 Indeed, Lap, you are known for your boisterous enthusiasm in 2:01:23.560 --> 2:01:25.880 the booth, but there's no better x as and O's 2:01:25.920 --> 2:01:27.400 analyst in the NFL. 2:01:27.360 --> 2:01:29.600 Describe your approach as a broadcaster. 2:01:29.800 --> 2:01:31.240 It's probably a lot like yours, Dan. 2:01:31.320 --> 2:01:33.240 I mean, we both went to the new House School 2:01:33.240 --> 2:01:37.040 of Communications at Syracuse University.

Note away from nine o'clock in the news 2:02:36.480 --> 2:02:40.240 RNL Carrier Sports Talk on seven hundred WLW. You mentioned 2:02:40.320 --> 2:02:42.960 right before the break Dodgers with a run in the 2:02:43.320 --> 2:02:46.840 second inning on a key k Hernandez single have scored 2:02:46.920 --> 2:02:49.720 first in the World Series. They are batting right now. 2:02:49.840 --> 2:02:52.240 Show hey, Otani is at the plate, the greatest show 2:02:52.320 --> 2:02:54.880 in all the sports, at the plate with the bases loaded. 2:02:55.480 --> 2:02:58.800 Show Heyo Tani a week ago tonight excuse me had 2:03:00.280 --> 2:03:03.200 arguably we'll say, but I believe that the greatest single 2:03:03.280 --> 2:03:05.880 game performance of anybody in the history of the sport. 2:03:06.920 --> 2:03:09.040 With three homers in the game that he pitched, gave 2:03:09.120 --> 2:03:12.280 up just two hits and struck out ten. He is 2:03:12.360 --> 2:03:14.800 at the plate right now and threatening to you don't 2:03:14.800 --> 2:03:16.640 want to say, break it open in the second inning, 2:03:16.760 --> 2:03:20.680 but threatening to build on the Dodgers lead, which is 2:03:20.960 --> 2:03:23.080 one nothing in the top of the second ending Game 2:03:23.120 --> 2:03:25.400 one is in Toronto, first two games of the series 2:03:25.480 --> 2:03:28.040 north of the border before Games three, four, and five 2:03:28.080 --> 2:03:30.760 will be in La early through middle of next week, 2:03:30.800 --> 2:03:33.920 and then games six and seven in Toronto. The Blue 2:03:34.000 --> 2:03:36.440 Jays in the World Series for the first time since 2:03:36.560 --> 2:03:42.000 Joe Carter walked off the Philadelphia Phillies in nineteen ninety three. 2:03:42.160 --> 2:03:47.280 Also updates on that UC basketball exhibition. The Bearcats are 2:03:47.360 --> 2:03:51.880 playing Arkansas in Fayetteville right now and they're frankly getting clobbered. 2:03:51.920 --> 2:03:54.880 It's forty six to twenty six in the final minute 2:03:54.920 --> 2:03:56.720 of the first half. Bearcats have just scored to make 2:03:56.760 --> 2:04:00.480 it forty six to twenty eight, and Otani was re hired, 2:04:01.000 --> 2:04:02.640 and so the Blue Jays get out of the inning 2:04:02.760 --> 2:04:05.480 with only a run. So the Dodgers have an early 2:04:05.600 --> 2:04:10.480 one nothing lead over Toronto in Game one up North. Hey, 2:04:10.560 --> 2:04:14.080 if if you missed anything tonight or anything on our show, 2:04:14.320 --> 2:04:16.520 or if you want to listen to our show, you 2:04:16.600 --> 2:04:20.200 could do that by checking out the iHeartRadio app and 2:04:20.280 --> 2:04:23.240 when you go there, search for me mo Egger and 2:04:23.320 --> 2:04:26.160 then make us a preset just like your car stereo 2:04:27.040 --> 2:04:29.640 and check out our show.

So it's 2:05:00.320 --> 2:05:04.120 now late October. Next month is obviously November, and then 2:05:04.240 --> 2:05:06.920 soon it'll be mid December. Will Joe Burrow be back? 2:05:06.960 --> 2:05:10.280 I wanted to talk about where the Bengals quarterback might 2:05:10.360 --> 2:05:13.800 be in his progress coming off of surgery to fix 2:05:14.360 --> 2:05:17.600 his turf toe, and so I'm bringing in one of 2:05:17.640 --> 2:05:20.440 the experts from Orthos Sincy, doctor Nick Gates. I say 2:05:20.520 --> 2:05:23.240 this every week on ESPN fifteen thirty. The great think 2:05:23.240 --> 2:05:27.840 about Orthosincy is they've got specialist locations and services all 2:05:27.920 --> 2:05:31.280 across the tri state, including walk in orthopedic urgent care 2:05:31.400 --> 2:05:35.680 at five locations with extended evening and weekend hours in 2:05:35.840 --> 2:05:39.920 Edgewood and Anderson. Check out Orthosincy dot com to learn more. 2:05:40.000 --> 2:05:45.640 That's ortho ci Ncy dot com. Doctor Nick Gates from 2:05:45.800 --> 2:05:49.520 Orthosincy is with us. So we're still clinging to this 2:05:49.680 --> 2:05:53.320 timeline right mid December. Suffered the injury a little bit 2:05:53.360 --> 2:05:55.800 more than a month ago, then head surgery. We're still 2:05:55.880 --> 2:06:01.480 hoping for mid December? Is is is hopeful? Is hoping 2:06:01.600 --> 2:06:05.480 for Joe's return in mid December? Still? Is it still realistic? 2:06:06.160 --> 2:06:10.400 I think it's reasonable to hope, hope being a good word. 2:06:11.560 --> 2:06:15.880 I think it's it's realistic, but it's lofty. You use 2:06:15.920 --> 2:06:18.440 the word lofty goal three months when they first came 2:06:18.480 --> 2:06:22.400 out with that is a lofty goal relative to the 2:06:22.920 --> 2:06:28.080 statistics you see on this surgery. But it's possible, and 2:06:28.240 --> 2:06:30.520 it comes into play a lot of other things about 2:06:30.520 --> 2:06:33.400 what's going to be happening at that twelve week mark 2:06:33.600 --> 2:06:36.520 with the Cincinnati Bengals. So it's a lofty goal to 2:06:36.760 --> 2:06:38.840 play good, solid football three months. 2:06:39.440 --> 2:06:42.280 What is he likely doing at this stage of his rehab, 2:06:42.400 --> 2:06:44.280 and then what do the next six to seven weeks 2:06:44.320 --> 2:06:45.000 look like for him. 2:06:47.120 --> 2:06:48.760 He disappeared off the team for a bit because he 2:06:48.840 --> 2:06:51.240 was likely on crutches putting not much weight on his foot. 2:06:52.080 --> 2:06:54.680 He's now off the crutches, putting weight on his foot 2:06:54.840 --> 2:06:58.880 in a protective walking boot, that we've seen him out 2:06:58.920 --> 2:07:03.200 and about. He's doing what they call passive or active 2:07:03.280 --> 2:07:06.520 assisted motion of his toe, and that's a physical therapy 2:07:06.680 --> 2:07:09.800 term where they are starting to try to regain some motion, 2:07:10.480 --> 2:07:13.560 but it's in a very controlled environment. The ligamancy tore 2:07:14.040 --> 2:07:16.440 on the bottom of his toes have been surgically repaired. 2:07:16.880 --> 2:07:20.040 They're going through a healing process. They can handle some 2:07:20.320 --> 2:07:23.800 degree of motion, but they don't want to overstress those ligaments. 2:07:23.840 --> 2:07:26.760 At this stage, they're really mo they're trying to balance. 2:07:27.320 --> 2:07:29.920 We want to regain range of motion of this joint, 2:07:31.120 --> 2:07:34.160 but it has to be stable in the end. We 2:07:34.320 --> 2:07:36.960 don't want it to be super stiff. At the end, 2:07:38.040 --> 2:07:40.600 he needs to plant off his foot or not plant 2:07:40.640 --> 2:07:42.160 off this flip, but he needs to bear weight on 2:07:42.240 --> 2:07:45.440 this foot. So they're in that balance right now, what 2:07:45.520 --> 2:07:47.920 they call controlled range of motion therapy. 2:07:49.240 --> 2:07:52.120 If there is a setback knock on wood, hopefully there's not, 2:07:52.280 --> 2:07:54.320 but if there were to be one, what are some 2:07:54.440 --> 2:07:56.480 of the potential issues that may arise. 2:07:58.480 --> 2:07:59.040 Stiffness. 2:07:59.560 --> 2:08:03.400 He can get a repaired ligament, but struggle with the 2:08:03.520 --> 2:08:05.840 range of motion of his toe, and you do need 2:08:05.880 --> 2:08:10.160 a certain bit of comfortable range of motion to walk 2:08:10.520 --> 2:08:12.720 if you need a certain amount of comfortable range of motion, 2:08:12.880 --> 2:08:16.280 certainly to run, cut and play sports at a high level. 2:08:17.960 --> 2:08:21.240 He may have a stable ligament, but if the toe 2:08:21.360 --> 2:08:24.440 is stiff, that could be a holdback that takes longer 2:08:24.480 --> 2:08:28.160 to work as range of motion. That's probably the biggest 2:08:28.240 --> 2:08:33.280 holdback secondary to just soreness and pain. I'll draw the 2:08:33.360 --> 2:08:36.000 analogy to read a little bit about Rock Party. We've 2:08:36.000 --> 2:08:39.280 got an interesting analogy or comparison as Rock Party is 2:08:39.320 --> 2:08:43.240 going through nonsurgical treatment of his turf toe injury. And 2:08:43.320 --> 2:08:46.240 if you look at his timeline and the guesses you 2:08:46.320 --> 2:08:49.920 read about that he's he's sore. They tried to get 2:08:50.000 --> 2:08:53.000 him back early, and the reports are it just hurts 2:08:53.040 --> 2:08:57.440 too much to perform. So I think stiffness that's not painful, 2:08:57.600 --> 2:08:59.360 or just soreness and pain is going to be the 2:08:59.400 --> 2:09:02.120 two things that are going to determine whether or not 2:09:02.280 --> 2:09:03.000 Joe can come back. 2:09:03.440 --> 2:09:06.920 What can be done, because obviously the tow has to 2:09:06.960 --> 2:09:09.680 get better, he's got to recover, he's got to do rehab. 2:09:09.760 --> 2:09:12.200 He also has to maintain strength and conditioning. What sort 2:09:12.200 --> 2:09:13.920 of things can be done while you're coming back from 2:09:13.960 --> 2:09:14.600 this kind of injury. 2:09:17.320 --> 2:09:21.280 He certainly can get on a bicycle, get aerobic exercise, 2:09:21.360 --> 2:09:24.800 and get some minimal weight bearing or low impact aerobic 2:09:24.880 --> 2:09:29.520 and that's generally going to start with perhaps riding a bike. 2:09:30.040 --> 2:09:32.080 He's at a stage I think he's about four, maybe 2:09:32.120 --> 2:09:35.760 going on five weeks from his injury. There's some aquatic 2:09:35.920 --> 2:09:40.040 therapy where we can get an athlete into aquatics, into 2:09:40.200 --> 2:09:42.920 a swimming pool or a tank if you will, that's 2:09:43.280 --> 2:09:46.040 even shoulder high water. What that does is get buoyancy, 2:09:46.200 --> 2:09:49.480 takes weight off the foot. They're probably just now looking 2:09:49.600 --> 2:09:51.840 in that he's about the stage where that might be 2:09:51.880 --> 2:09:54.280 a possibility that they can do a little bit of 2:09:54.320 --> 2:09:57.800 conditioning that way. He certainly can do all the upper 2:09:57.880 --> 2:10:00.800 body and core things. He certainly could work out at 2:10:00.840 --> 2:10:04.760 this stage, but I think his aerobic capacity is the 2:10:04.800 --> 2:10:05.600 biggest challenge. 2:10:06.000 --> 2:10:07.440 Once he is back. 2:10:07.600 --> 2:10:10.280 Are there things that can be done to help protect 2:10:10.320 --> 2:10:13.680 the toe once he's actually back and playing, For. 2:10:13.800 --> 2:10:18.520 Sure, I'm certain that they would likely be looking into 2:10:18.680 --> 2:10:23.040 already fashioning him with what's called an orthodic or fiber 2:10:23.160 --> 2:10:26.840 plate or his shoe wear, And what that det is 2:10:26.960 --> 2:10:30.200 is basically a thin there are some inserts that are 2:10:30.240 --> 2:10:32.040 thick or this is going to be a thinner insert 2:10:32.160 --> 2:10:34.880 that's essentially going to splint or protect the big toe, 2:10:35.120 --> 2:10:38.160 his great toe where he just located and tore those ligaments. 2:10:38.560 --> 2:10:41.200 They're going to put a device into that shoe. They 2:10:41.320 --> 2:10:43.800 already have one in his boot. Would be not uncommon 2:10:44.240 --> 2:10:46.760 to kind of protect the stresses on that ligament. So 2:10:46.880 --> 2:10:50.760 you're going through this balancing act between protecting stress on 2:10:50.840 --> 2:10:53.520 the ligament while trying to do some controlled range of motion. 2:10:54.040 --> 2:10:57.360 So it's not it's fairly likely that that type of 2:10:57.800 --> 2:11:00.040 device inside of a shoe will be part of his rec. 2:11:00.920 --> 2:11:04.720 Doctor Nick Gates from Ortho Sincy talking Joe Burrow, tremendous 2:11:04.800 --> 2:11:07.320 expertise and inside as always, always appreciate the time. 2:11:07.360 --> 2:11:08.000 Man, thanks so much. 2:11:09.200 --> 2:11:11.760 You are quite welcome, how any hun, that's my guy. 2:11:11.680 --> 2:11:14.560 Doctor Nick Gates from Orthos.

It's easy because you do not need 2:11:39.080 --> 2:11:41.800 an appointment, and it's definitely cheaper than going to an er. 2:11:42.320 --> 2:11:46.120 Whenever you have an urgent orthopedic injury, go to Orthosincy 2:11:46.200 --> 2:11:52.200 dot com.
