1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: It's that time for talkbacks. Press the microphone and record

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: your message for Austin and tone, please keep it clean

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: and don't be mean. And a sprinkle sprinkle, drip drifts.

4
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: It's that time for talkbacks. It's our favorite part since

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 1: three sixty.

6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, Austin, buddy, play those.

7
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Talkbacks on your screen and please try not to sabotage.

8
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,800
Speaker 3: Welcome back in to Tony Pikes since he three to sixty.

9
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 3: I'm Austin Elmore, big fella out sick today. Hopefully he

10
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: is back tomorrow. We've got a light batch of talkbacks

11
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 3: to get to.

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 2: But that's all right. Let's get started.

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: Can we get Brian Flores or Advance Joseph here to.

14
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 2: Be a head coach? Love that, you know.

15
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 3: I'm not sure about the Brian Flores thing because I

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: know he has ongoing litigation with the NFL about a

17
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 3: hiring issue previously that I want to say was involved

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: with the Giants or something, and the stuff that happened

19
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: with the Dolphins. I don't know exactly, so I don't

20
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: know about his his I don't know. I don't know

21
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 3: if that has an effect on anything. Vance Joseph, who

22
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 3: used to be a coach here and is the defensive

23
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 3: coordinator for the Denver Broncos. I think he would be

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 3: one of the top candidates when you look at the

25
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 3: way the Bengals do things and the familiarity and all that.

26
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 3: I think Vance Joseph would be one of those top candidates.

27
00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 3: Don't know if that's a good thing, but yeah, it's

28
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 3: the Lord.

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 4: I was reading that Lamar Jackson has another injury. It's

30
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 4: his toe. That's that he that he ea't that asting

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 4: any truth to this.

32
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about it earlier today, but just about

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 3: two minutes ago, the Ravens practice began and Lamar Jackson

34
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: ran out there helmet on and is practicing. So didn't

35
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 3: practice yesterday. He is out there in uniform for practice

36
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: a day for the Ravens.

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 5: So the season is pretty much over. We know that

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:09,119
Speaker 5: anything after this probably just leads to heartache. But I'm

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 5: of a mind that until you are officially mathematically eliminated,

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 5: you give it all you got, You try everything, and

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 5: you play the man. But as soon as you're eliminated,

42
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 5: shutting down. It's too valuable, too much of a risk

43
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: for nothing to play for.

44
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I get it.

45
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 6: Thoughts on Joe Burrow playing tomorrow night.

46
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: Okay, thank you, hey boys. Hey, I may be full

47
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 2: of opium.

48
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know, I'm the optimistic guy. But as far

49
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 7: as I can see, the Bengals have their destiny in

50
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 7: their hands and they control their playoff outcomes. Assume they

51
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 7: win the next six, we only need six losses between

52
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,959
Speaker 7: the Buffalo or between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. They play each

53
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 7: other twice, plus we would have beaten the Ravens twice

54
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 7: and neither of those teams are.

55
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: Going to win out. Yeah.

56
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 3: I mean, when you think about it, Baltimore plays Pittsburgh twice.

57
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 3: As you mentioned, Baltimore has to go to Green Bay,

58
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 3: and they play New England. It's not crazy to think

59
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 3: that they lose a couple of those games. The Steelers

60
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 3: obviously played Baltimore twice, they play Buffalo, and they play

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: at Detroit. It's not crazy to think that if the

62
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: Bengals were to go on a run similar to what

63
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: they've done the last two years, that they could be

64
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: right there in the conversation at nine to eight, let's say,

65
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 3: and that'd be enough to win the AFC North just

66
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 3: based off the schedule of the other teams. Obviously, the

67
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 3: Bengals have to take care of their own business. But

68
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: I don't think it's It's insane to think so. And

69
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 3: the main reason I feel that way is if you

70
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 3: look at the defense the last two weeks, and I

71
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: know it is a very small sample size and it's

72
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: not against the two best offenses in the NFL. However,

73
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: if the Bengals defense can force a turnover a game

74
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: and or get three stops, like you feel confident that

75
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 3: you have a chance, you at least give yourself a chance,

76
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: and that I think would be, if nothing else interesting.

77
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 8: Hey, Addie Joe from Casey here what I love when

78
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 8: you get the chance to host. I totally agree with

79
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 8: you about Burrow. If he's healthy, he should play. In

80
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 8: addition to everything you mentioned, I just want to say,

81
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 8: you know, when you would get into like load management stuff, right,

82
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 8: I mean, in the end, it's the entertainment business. They're

83
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 8: there to entertain. People are spending money to buy tickets.

84
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 8: They're not spending money to watch healthy Joe Burrow sit

85
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 8: on the bench.

86
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point. Now, let's say Thursday happens.

87
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 3: Let's say the Bengals get blown out. Let's say it's

88
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: thirty seven to ten in the fourth quarter. Oh, Joe

89
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: Burrow doesn't need to be playing in that situation. Like

90
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 3: then you could go back to Flacco, go back to

91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: Jake Browning somebody else there there you there is a

92
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 3: balance that has to be struck by Zach Taylor.

93
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 9: Here, my golly, if we played a drinking game for

94
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 9: every time then I heard the word compromised in between

95
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 9: the Monday Midday Quarterback and the Tony Inmo Football Show,

96
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 9: I'd have been on the floor by about four thirty

97
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 9: how many times I heard that. But anyways, final thought

98
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 9: here Walker from the West Side. If Flacco was that compromised,

99
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 9: wouldn't we rather have Joe Burrow compromise if it was

100
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 9: seventy five percent versus seventy five percent? Last thought, We're

101
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 9: on to Thursday.

102
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the argument that I made last week going

103
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: into the New England game.

104
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 6: What's up body, tj Burrow in or Burrow out? Like

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 6: whatever the hell gets rid of Tobin and Taylor. He's

106
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 6: an ocat best, not a head coach. Marvin went over

107
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 6: seven to plass and Brown kept him on for years.

108
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 6: Marvin turned into a smug Belichick wanted because he knew

109
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 6: he was safe. Dave Shuler went eleven thirty for thirty seven.

110
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 6: Let me repeat, eleven for thirty seven in his first

111
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 6: three years. Brown offered him a contract extension. Price is right,

112
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 6: Bob Zach stinks, Coven sucks. Mike makes me want to hurl.

113
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 6: But go Burrow, go Bangles, who dah get better?

114
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: Tony there you go. I mean that's how he feels.

115
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 10: So the one hundred talented BYU fans and had a

116
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 10: knack for recruiting, AKA would be in the parking lot

117
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 10: at the UC game trying to convert UC fans to

118
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 10: BYU fans because they Mormons go door to door trying

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 10: to convert people and they have a knack for recruiting.

120
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 11: Oh never mind, Oh okay, in the city out here,

121
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 11: Sonny hots On or what up? See you riding the

122
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 11: ship solo to day? That's okay to show it's still

123
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:09,039
Speaker 11: on point and fire us always. The Cats won last night,

124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 11: I mean a good rebound win. The win is a win,

125
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 11: but you know, I want to see them set up

126
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 11: these shots a little bit better. They just run down

127
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 11: the quarter and shoot up two many threes. I'm starting

128
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 11: not to like that. You know what the return of

129
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 11: JB nine. I'm feeling it. I was against it, but

130
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 11: now I love it. The heart of a competitor. That's

131
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 11: a true beast of a quarterback. We got go get them,

132
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 11: all right, Thank you one time for a double loh

133
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 11: for the keys to victory for Thursday night. First of all,

134
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 11: we have to run the ball consistently and stay with

135
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 11: the run, especially if it's working. Second, Burrow, can you

136
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 11: manage the offensive line correctly? I mean, I know this

137
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 11: is your first game back, but can you pick up

138
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 11: the rhythm that you had? Chase is gonna be double

139
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 11: and bracketed, so I'm looking for Fan Gooseki to step

140
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 11: up and on defense contain Lamar. Don't let him rush

141
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 11: out the pocket. Figure way to apply pressure and wrap

142
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 11: up and tackle.

143
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 12: There you go the top three things that Jamar Chase

144
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 12: did last weekend instead of playing football. Attended sensitivity and

145
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 12: conflict resolution classes at Madam Beefee's School of Etiquette.

146
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 10: Active as a judge at Cheeks Gentlemen's Club for.

147
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 12: The Itty Bitty Gritty Committee. Met with architects and designers

148
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 12: for plans on his new sports club.

149
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 3: Lougis all right, we'll talk a little bit about Jamar.

150
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 3: Later he did issue an apology of sorts. Hooday Tom

151
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 3: Turkey chiming in.

152
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 13: Yeah. With regards to the Ohio State game, I think

153
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 13: Ohio State is gonna win by two or more scores.

154
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,079
Speaker 13: I don't care that they lost four in a row

155
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 13: or whatever it is. At one point, Ohio State won

156
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 13: seventeen of eighteen or something like that just before the

157
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 13: four game losing streak, so.

158
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,959
Speaker 2: You know, it's cyclical. I expect him to fully dominate

159
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 2: this game.

160
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 13: And you know, the game, it kind of feels like

161
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 13: it's lost.

162
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: It's lost there a little bit.

163
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 13: I mean, Ohio State lost it last year and still

164
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 13: won the.

165
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 2: National title, so you know whatever.

166
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 13: From regards to the Bengals and Ravens, you know.

167
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 2: Whatever, Okay, thank you.

168
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 3: I think the Ohio State Michigan game is just it's

169
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 3: all mental on the Ohio State side, and I think

170
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,040
Speaker 3: part of it like from the Michigan side as well.

171
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: And I think Joe Daneman was right, like Michigan does

172
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 3: not fear Ohio State and that's really the only team

173
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 3: they face all year that feels that way, and sometimes

174
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 3: that can make you clinch up a little bit in

175
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: certain parts of your body. And I think there is

176
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 3: a mental block with Michigan for Ohio State and until

177
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 3: they get past it, I don't know. Hopefully last year

178
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: and everything that happened afterwards is enough to kind of

179
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 3: carry through that and then be the release.

180
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: Well, the last time I tuned in and Audie started

181
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the show and said that Tony wasn't here, we heard

182
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: the terrible news that he had been led.

183
00:09:59,760 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 14: Go.

184
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: Fortunately, Tony's just sick, yay, of course, I'm just getting

185
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: get well soon, Tony, Tony.

186
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: Austin, what's going on?

187
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 5: My man Lean and trunk Hart.

188
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 12: I love Joey deep, but he is crazy. Ryan Day

189
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 12: better get the job done.

190
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 15: And look, I kind of somewhat agree with him, you know,

191
00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 15: because when it comes to this game, if it's close

192
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 15: in the fourth quarter, hey, it's going to get real

193
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 15: spooky for os U's fans.

194
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: But he gotta get it done. He gotta get it done.

195
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,959
Speaker 15: He cannot lose to Michigan for the fifth straight year.

196
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: Beat Michigan. Preach brother, I agree with.

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 14: You, hey often Marcos from the groove up, I know

198
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 14: we don't give this guy a.

199
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: Time of day on the show.

200
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 14: Uh oh, because of this horrible takes in general. But

201
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 14: I don't know if you saw Chris Kenny's oh about

202
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 14: the Bengals still having a shot to win the division

203
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 14: and make the playoffs. You know me, you ain't got

204
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 14: to give me much to go on about giving me hope.

205
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I did, you know.

206
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: I actually heard, to his credit, I heard two complimentary

207
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 3: things from Chris Canty today about the Bengals. The first was,

208
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 3: I think Evan Cohen was asking him, do you buy

209
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: into these teams? It was a list of teams, and

210
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: he got to the Bengals, and I think Michelle Smallman

211
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 3: said no, and Chris Canty said, uh, it's it's possible

212
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow, like it's possible. And then, in a

213
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 3: separate part talking about the future of the AFC North

214
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 3: and who could win that division, Chris Canty doubled down

215
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: with Joe Burrow, the Bengals can win that division. So

216
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 3: maybe a changing of the tune there for old Chris Canty.

217
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,880
Speaker 3: But you know, if we want to make fun of

218
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 3: him for all the stupid stuff he says, you know,

219
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 3: he at least was complimentary this time.

220
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,559
Speaker 2: Mike and independence here the Burrow thing. Think of it

221
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 2: this way.

222
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 16: Let's say you're working in warehouse and you break your

223
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 16: wrists and work, so you get back, you're ready to

224
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 16: come back to work, and they're like, no, no, no,

225
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 16: we don't want to risk of the rest of this year.

226
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 17: Numbers are down.

227
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 2: Just take the ear off, we'll pay you come back

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: next year. It's not how it works. It's good to play.

229
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: Let's play correct a mundo.

230
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 14: Bro, Why do we do this?

231
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 18: Why do we keep doing this? We say every week

232
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 18: before the game, all they lose this one, this is

233
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 18: the must win.

234
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 5: If they lose this one, they're done.

235
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 18: We've done it for the last three weeks. They've lost

236
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 18: all three of them, and then by Tuesday or Wednesday,

237
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 18: we're talking about all they could be back in it

238
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 18: if they do this. If they do that, they have

239
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 18: a less than one percent chance to make the playoffs.

240
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 18: Their minus ten thousand miss playoffs. Like let it come,

241
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,760
Speaker 18: it's over, Mike Goodness, All.

242
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 3: Right, man, I don't know what show you're listening to,

243
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: but at no point have I on this radio station

244
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 3: said that I believe the Bengals are good enough to

245
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 3: get to the playoffs. I will openly talk about the

246
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 3: possibilities and the facts, and like what the probabilities are

247
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 3: or if this happens, this happens, and this happens, and

248
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: they get in. But I have said for over a

249
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: month now that the season is over and they will

250
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 3: not get to the playoffs. I have said on the air,

251
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: I expect them to lose every single game the rest

252
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 3: of the way. Now, with Joe Burrow, it's a different team,

253
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 3: and you wonder how it will be different with him

254
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: on the field. But no one is on this radio

255
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 3: station saying that the Bengals are going to go win

256
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: the AFC North and go deep into the playoffs. Technically, mathematically, factually,

257
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: it's still a possibility, and that possibility is alive, And

258
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 3: so you can't acknowledge that doesn't mean I believe it

259
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 3: or know that it's gonna do that it's tru or

260
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: that I believe that it's gonna happen. Just because you

261
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 3: acknowledge the possibilities and the realities does not mean that

262
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: you are preaching from the mountaintops that these things are

263
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: going to happen. But also, there are varying members of

264
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 3: this audience that have different beliefs and different views and

265
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 3: different thoughts on the Bengals. On the sports world, on

266
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: all of it. Some people are overly optimistic, some people

267
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: are overly negative. It's my job to be able to

268
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: reach all those people, not just those who.

269
00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 2: Have given up. That's it's kind of how this thing works.

270
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 17: Hey, Audi, it's Chris and Alexandria. I liked your list

271
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 17: yesterday of all the potential candidates. Thank you and who

272
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 17: you thought fit. But the problem is the Bengals don't

273
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 17: bring in guys who have head coaching experience. True, they

274
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 17: sometimes bring in offensive or defensive coordinators. What qualified Zach

275
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 17: Taylor to be here? I mean he was a quarterbacks coach.

276
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 17: Who knows who they're going to bring in? Who knows

277
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 17: who the better option is. I have no idea what

278
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 17: they're going to do. Probably just sit tight.

279
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's fair, Chris, and you're exactly right.

280
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 3: It just doesn't happen very often. All Right, we'll take

281
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 3: a break. That was it will come back with a

282
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 3: football in the Natti. This is ESPN fifteen thirty.

283
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 2: They took Vider Pimesl there
