Speaker 1: Lubbock for tonight's game?

14
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: Just now passing through Little Rock? Okay, I'm debating having

15
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: lunch in Little Rock to see if it rains and

16
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I get my first look out of Tommy Tubberville, Arkansas

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: Road strikeler. Expected to be in Lubbock right at tip time.

18
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: Live coverage on Fox nineteen now tonight after the game.

19
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 1: There we go, Here we go. You spend time in Goodyear.

20
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure it always goes too fast, but in the

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: time you were able to be around this team. And

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: last week we talked a little bit about the feel

23
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: and the way in which they carry themselves. What else

24
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: did you walk away with your time and goodyear around

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: this Reds ball club.

26
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: Here's what I walked away with. The Reds are good.

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: And you can laugh at that and say, yeah, we

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 2: all know this a good roster. But it's the best

29
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: roster I've seen in a while in Cincinnati. And the

30
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: question is how good? Are they that good? The question

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 2: is are they good enough to win a National League

32
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: Central title or compete for it? Are they good enough

33
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: to win a playoff series? Are they that good? I

34
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: walked away feeling yes, When they're healthy as they are now,

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: they are constructed in a way that I believe that

36
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: they should have the expectation they should be held to

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: a standard of not just making the playoffs, but now

38
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 2: competing for division championships in what is a good division,

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 2: and also the expectation and standard that this team should

40
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: be looked at as a team that can do some

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 2: damage in the playoffs. When you look at the starting rotation,

42
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: when you look at what they've done in the bullpen,

43
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: when you look at the additions they've made and the

44
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: expected steps from guys within the organization who have been

45
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: groomed by this organization. I think the expectation is, yes,

46
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: they are that good, good enough to win the National

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: League Central I didn't know that until I saw it,

48
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 2: and when you're around it, you see it and you

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 2: feel it. I think that should be the standard for

50
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: the Reds in twenty twenty six.

51
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: What question or questions do you still need answered between

52
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: now and opening Day?

53
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: Is Matt McLean good enough to hit second? Because Terry

54
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: Francona wants that to happen, and I understand why. He

55
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: profiles perfectly for that spot. He's the right handed bat

56
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: that can break up whatever a team wants to do

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: with their bullpen of bringing in a left hander to

58
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: attack TJ. Friedel and make Ellie hit from the right side.

59
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: He's a right handed hitter who's supposed to be a

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: contact hitter or a line drive hitter. He struck out

61
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: too much. He hasn't got on base enough. And my

62
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: biggest thing is this, if Matt Plain the all start hitter,

63
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: is still somewhere inside of him, and I still believe

64
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 2: he has that kind of a ceiling, I'm not sure

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 2: if there's anything he can do in spring to convince

66
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 2: me that the Reds should start the season with him

67
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: hitting second. We saw last year literally every single game matters,

68
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: and so I would want to see what Matt does

69
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: the first few weeks of the season, maybe with some

70
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: pressure off hitting lower in the lineup, before throwing him

71
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: in there Game one against a high strikeout pitcher, knowing

72
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 2: what he just came off last year. I think I

73
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: would rather see Spencer Steer hitting second to start the season.

74
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 2: I would even argue maybe Noelvie Marte hitting second, but

75
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: certainly I think I want to see Matt and what

76
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 2: he does in actual big league regular season games before

77
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 2: I would move him the second Again. Kerry wants him

78
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: to hit there, and I understand why it's the perfect

79
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: profile to put someone there, with his base running ability

80
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: and his other attributes, But until I see it consistently

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: for a few weeks in real games, I'm not sure

82
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: I want to put that pressure on him there, and

83
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I wanted to put him into a

84
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: high leverage position this early in the season.

85
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: How much of Matt McClain's success would you weigh on

86
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: the possibility of switching to the long pants instead of

87
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 1: the pants that are that are riding.

88
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 2: Up eighty percent of it, Yeah, eighty percent of it,

89
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: the other twenty his mental approach to it. I did

90
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: find it interesting when I talked to Matt out there,

91
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: and I'll pull the curtain back a little bit. You

92
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: usually don't get a lot from Matt, and he doesn't

93
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 2: give you a lot. He's he's a fun guy to

94
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: talk to. He's very approachable. He just doesn't give you

95
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: a lot of interviews. But what he said about what

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: happened to him last year, and you know, it's one

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 2: of those things you can say it and it sounds

98
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 2: great to say it, but can you go out there

99
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: and actually do it in a game? He said, missing

100
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: an entire season of baseball, sometimes you hang up the

101
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: competitive spirit in a closet and just work on rehab,

102
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: and you get so in tune with what you're doing

103
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: with trying to get your body back and ready to play,

104
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 2: that you forget to open the closet door and find

105
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: the competitive spirit and put it back in yourself. And

106
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 2: he talked last year about the idea of going to

107
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: the plate and feeling healthy and trying to perfect his

108
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: swing right, something that he could repeat, use and repeat

109
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 2: over years, instead of just going up to the plate

110
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 2: and just being a gamer. Something that got him to

111
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,039
Speaker 2: where he's been at this point is just being a

112
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 2: competitive baseball player, the kind of guy that will do

113
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: whatever it takes to win, whether that's in the field,

114
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 2: in the batter's box. And he said once he locked

115
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: into that, and he said he felt that for a

116
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: couple of months. If you go back and look last year,

117
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: he had a two month stretch and Junior in July

118
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 2: that he was pretty darn productive and helped this team

119
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: win games. If he can tap into that and have

120
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: a full season of just being a grinder, a competitive

121
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: baseball player and able to find whatever it is that

122
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 2: helps him lock back in, Yeah, the pants are a

123
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: big deal, but I think him finding whatever trigger that

124
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 2: is that helps him flip that switch last year is

125
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: probably the bigger deal for him in twenty twenty six.

126
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 3: When you look at the pitching rotation.

127
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about Andrew Abbott, We've talked about

128
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 1: Hunter Green and the rest of this rotation, but in

129
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: talking to Charlie on Froddy, it feels like Chase Burns

130
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 1: is just carrying himself a different way. Did you have

131
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: any interaction or do you have any takeaways from spending

132
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 1: time watching Chase Burns throughout spring training.

133
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 2: It was quite literally the most impressive player to me

134
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 2: in the four days I was at red spring training.

135
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: And I use the word competitive fire, competitive spirit with

136
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 2: Matt McClain. The way Chase Burns carried himself on the

137
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: mound in a live batting practice against his teammates, and

138
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 2: just one session I saw looked like a guy that

139
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: was throwing in a playoff game or throwing in a

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: late September game. It was that kind of demeanor and

141
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: the way he carried himself on the mound. I think

142
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: this whole debate for the fifth rotation spot is a

143
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 2: fun talking point and a good debate, and a hat

144
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 2: tip to both Rhet Louder and Brandon Williamson, two guys

145
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: this team is going to need over one hundred and

146
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 2: sixty two game season. But it's like Vince Carter in

147
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 2: the NBA Dunk Contest. It's like the throat slash. Now

148
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 2: it's over. After I saw that one session from Chase

149
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: Burns said, this guy's different the way he's approaching it.

150
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 2: The stuff, the addition of a change up, We'll see

151
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 2: how much of a weapon that becomes for him this year.

152
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: If he masters it or even gets it to a

153
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: point where it becomes just a third pitch for him,

154
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 2: good luck to hitters in Major League Baseball trying to

155
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 2: figure him out with him throwing one hundred and one

156
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: hundred and two miles per hour and then adding a

157
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 2: change up on top of it. So the whole idea

158
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: that Chase Burns is fighting for a fifth spot, I

159
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: think the narrative should change. Could Chase Burns be one

160
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: of these guys at the end of the season as

161
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 2: the regiment of the playoff series that he should be

162
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,560
Speaker 2: in the playoff rotation? Because you're looking right now, if

163
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 2: you're in a first round series, you know, and you

164
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,719
Speaker 2: have three pitchers, should Chase Burns be one of those

165
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 2: three guys? You would say, no, it's Hunter Abbott Lodolo

166
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 2: if everybody's healthy. But I think by the end of

167
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: the year, I would not be shocked if Chase Burns

168
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: is one of this team's top three pitchers, maybe even

169
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,839
Speaker 2: top two pitchers. Now we'll see how many innings we'll

170
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 2: see if he throws the you know, the full complement

171
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 2: of thirty starts. I think that's probably a little bit

172
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: far fetched to think that'll happen. But from what I saw,

173
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: I think he's closer to top three in the rotation

174
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: than he is actually competing to be in the rotation.

175
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 2: And I think that's because of how ready he was

176
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 2: at spring training on top of the talent he already.

177
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: Has you mentioned Williamson and Rhet Louder. Do you think

178
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: there was ever or has been ever a s thought

179
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 1: of entertaining a six man rotation or has that never

180
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 1: been an option in your opinion?

181
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if it's been talked about

182
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 2: within the organization. I wouldn't want to do it just

183
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: because look, when you construct a lineup in baseball, and

184
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: we talked about the Red lineup earlier in this conversation

185
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 2: and the idea of who to hit second, it's not

186
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: just to break up TJ. Friedo and Ellie dla Cruz.

187
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 2: You want your best hitters at the top of the

188
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 2: lineup to give them as many chances is at the

189
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: plate to help you win a game. And again, if

190
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: you go back to look at what we expect to

191
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 2: be a very highly competitive National League Central, and even

192
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 2: if the Reds don't make this Central, a very highly

193
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 2: competitive National League Wild card race, Every win matters, every

194
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: game matters. And if you're going to go to a

195
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: six man rotation and take away five starts from Hunter

196
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: Green and take away potentially five starts from Andrew Abbot

197
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: and take away five starts from Nick Lodolo and Brady Singer,

198
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: I don't want to do that. Now. The argument would be, sure,

199
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: you can have a better chance of keeping those guys

200
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 2: healthy and fresh late into the season. But these guys

201
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 2: are trained for this or built for this. This is

202
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: what they've done their entire professional career is go on

203
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: four days rest and then be ready on a fifth day.

204
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: So while I get it, it's a cool thing to

205
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: have seven guys, and it's a bit of a flex

206
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: to say we can go to a six man rotation

207
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: and perhaps take some of the wear and tear off

208
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 2: of a Hunter Green and an Andrew Abbott as the

209
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: season goes. But if you're in September, in your three

210
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: games back, and you had gone to a six man rotation,

211
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: and wonder what would have happened if if Hunter Green

212
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 2: would have had three or four more starts or Andrew

213
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 2: Abbott three or four more starts, You're going to kick

214
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: yourself because of your all star level pitchers. I want

215
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 2: those guys to have as many opportunities to help me

216
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: win as possible, and going to a six man rotation

217
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: with short circuit that.

218
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 4: Talking to Joe Danaman Fox nineteen, Joe, as you know,

219
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: today is the second Duke Tobin day of the year

220
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 4: as he talks to the media later this afternoon, I

221
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: know that the Jeremy is going to be there. What

222
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 4: would you ask Duke Tobin today? What do you want

223
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 4: to know from the Bengals director of player personnel today

224
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: at the combine.

225
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 2: It's so interesting because, yeah, this is typically the big

226
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,200
Speaker 2: day when you're loaded with thirty questions for Duke Tobin

227
00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 2: to try to get some answers to or at least

228
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: try to read between the lines to figure out what

229
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: the Bengals are thinking, what they're doing, and kind of

230
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 2: rehashing what happened last season. But we've allay done an

231
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: hour's worth of that with Duke Tobin, so it feels

232
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 2: a little bit different. So with someone with the opportunity

233
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,119
Speaker 2: to get in front of Duke Tobin and ask him questions,

234
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 2: I think Bengals fans want to move this forward a

235
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: little bit and start addressing some things now that can

236
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: be addressed now, and I think topic number one for

237
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: Duke Tobin would be is there any any clarity on

238
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 2: what this team is going to do with Trey Hendrickson

239
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 2: in the coming weeks, because on the table right now

240
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 2: are multiple options for Trey Hendrickson and the Bengals. I

241
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: think everybody listening to this kind of has the same

242
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,719
Speaker 2: idea as I do that Trey Henderson won't be a

243
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 2: Bengal next season. But what will that form look like?

244
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 2: Will it be letting him walk, will it be a

245
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 2: tag in trade. I don't know what the Bengals plans are,

246
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: and I'm not sure Duke Tobin is going to give

247
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: us an answer today, but he has in the past

248
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 2: addressed these kinds of moments and these kinds of questions

249
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: with more clarity than we expected. Going back to what

250
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 2: t Higgins did, get your own wide receiver or we

251
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 2: tag him with the intention to play him. So he

252
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 2: has given us answers before. I think that's the important

253
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: Number one question is what will this team do with

254
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 2: Tray Hendrickson even if we don't believe he'll be a

255
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bengal next season? And I think a lot of

256
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 2: Bengals fans are wondering about Dalton Reisner. What's going on

257
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 2: with him? Why hasn't been taken care of yet? Is

258
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 2: this Dalton's choice to test the market a little bit

259
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: in free agency with ultimately intention to sign with the

260
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 2: Bengals and maybe raise his price tag a little bit,

261
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 2: or can the Bengals just hit him with the deal

262
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 2: that knocks his socks off and he wants to come

263
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 2: play in Cincinnati. He's already said that publicly, so I

264
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 2: think it's trying to find a little bit of clarity

265
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: on what's going on with Trey Hendrickson and if anything

266
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 2: is imminent with Dalton Reisner, because I think those are

267
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 2: the two players that Bengals fans are looking forward to

268
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: having some kind of resolution with as soon as possible.

269
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: Do you feel like the resolution, regardless of what it is,

270
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,760
Speaker 1: with Trey Hendrickson, allows you to just get to the

271
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 1: next part of the offseason, because it feels at times

272
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: like the longer that carries on, it takes away from

273
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: attacking all the other spots that this name needs to attack.

274
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about mock drafts of players available. Well,

275
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,760
Speaker 1: if this team takes care of business and free agency.

276
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: They open their options up in the draft. Does moving

277
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: on or getting to a decision with Trey Hendrickson free

278
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 1: that up more for this organization to focus on what

279
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: it needs to do and avoid any distractions.

280
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 2: I think that's why it's a big week in Indianapolis,

281
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: and not just talking to could be prospects and could

282
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 2: be draft picks for the Bengals. It's a chance for

283
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 2: the Bengals and coaches in front office to be around

284
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 2: other teams and maybe have those times of conversations in person.

285
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 2: And I think that's why this week could be a

286
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: big week for the Bengals to maybe get some traction

287
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: towards trying to figure out if there could be a

288
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 2: trade partner for Trey Hendrickson. Now that's on the surface,

289
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: I would like to think that the Bengals have a

290
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: plan in mind, either Plan A or a Plan B

291
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: with Trey Hendrickson, and they have that already on the

292
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: table and figure it out so that they can then

293
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: go attack the rest of the roster and the rest

294
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 2: of the off season. So even if they don't publicly

295
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 2: have a resolution, I think internally, if they have a

296
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 2: resolution of plan A and Plan B they can attack

297
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: the rest of the off season. But I think your

298
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 2: point is good, and too many times of these kinds

299
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 2: of things that kind of just hung over the organization

300
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 2: and maybe influence decision making in the past. I do

301
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: think it's very important for this team to have a

302
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,520
Speaker 2: lot of resolution before they get to the draft, so

303
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: they don't specifically have to draft for a need, and

304
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 2: they can have some flexibility in the draft. But I

305
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 2: do think it's a big week that if you're going

306
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 2: to find a trade partner, when the entire league is

307
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: in one building, like they will be in Indianapolis this week,

308
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: this could be a good time for the Bengals to

309
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: really test the water, have those conversations, not just talk

310
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: to process, but talk to other teams to see if

311
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:03,200
Speaker 2: there's interest in Trey Henderson.

312
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 4: You know, in today's day and age in the media world, Joe,

313
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 4: everybody has a big board, everybody has a mock draft,

314
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: everybody has their guys when it comes to the prospects

315
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 4: in this draft. Can we expect a big board from

316
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: you at any point, a mock draft from you at

317
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 4: any point? Are there any players that you're interested in

318
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 4: at the combine?

319
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: This week.

320
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: Well, it's interesting because you know, typically the Bangals are

321
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 2: picking so far down in the first round. I just

322
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 2: look at it like, Okay, I'm not going to waste

323
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 2: my time trying to predict what fifteen to twenty different

324
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 2: gms across the league are going to do. But when

325
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 2: the Bangle was picked top ten, then you can start

326
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 2: to look at breadcrumbs a little bit. And it's interesting.

327
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 2: The closer and closer we get to the draft, the

328
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: higher and higher it feels like some of the Bengals

329
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: targets are seeming to be mocked, and certainly, you know,

330
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: we land on the Caleb Downs. It feels like Kalem

331
00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: Downs is now earmarked to go before the Bengals to

332
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: even get to him at number ten, which would be

333
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: a huge disappointment I'm sure for a lot of people

334
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,200
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati who feel like he could be an difference

335
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,359
Speaker 2: maker for this team. Myself concluded, it feels like the

336
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 2: David Baileys and Reuben Bains, considering their skills and how

337
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 2: much they are valued in the NFL, might not be there.

338
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,919
Speaker 2: It also feels like all of a sudden, Peter Woods

339
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 2: is starting to drop a little bit for whatever reason,

340
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: so yeah, me getting a big board done will be

341
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: just me kind of aggregating the experts in this field,

342
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 2: and that would be unfair. But I do think it's interesting.

343
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to being around those guys tomorrow and Thursday,

344
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: to be around those those linemen, to see what they're about,

345
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: to see how they handle themselves, to see how they

346
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 2: speak about themselves. And you know, you don't get a

347
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: whole lot right when it comes to deciding whether you're

348
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 2: gonna draft somebody from what these guys say in front

349
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 2: of the TV camera. But I think there's a little

350
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: bit of kind of trying to figure out what makes

351
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 2: them pick and what they're all about. And that's gonna

352
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: be interesting to me because it's not just Duke Tebin

353
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 2: and Zach Taylor talking today. You got the Bengals coordinators

354
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: speaking tomorrow. We have the Reuben Bins and the David

355
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 2: Bailey's and the Peter Woods talking tomorrow. Then you have

356
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: Caleb down Devailable on Thursday. So it's an exciting, fun

357
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: week to try to project and kind of needle a

358
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: little bit into these guys to figure out what they're about.

359
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: We don't get the chance to go out into the

360
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: actual stadium and watch these guys perform. The only time

361
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: we get around them is to ask them questions, either

362
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: at a podium or off the side of the podium.

363
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 2: So that to us is our chance to figure out

364
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 2: more about these guys, and I'm looking forward to that.

365
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: With March Madness right around the corner, I would be

366
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,719
Speaker 1: remiss not to ask because of the fine work you

367
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 1: guys do at Fox nineteen with the final quarter, who

368
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: are some of the local teams that we should be

369
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: watching to have a chance to cut down the nets.

370
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 2: Well, Lakota West goes right to the top of the list,

371
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 2: right because Lakota West is so good and they've proven

372
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: all year that their special and conservative of the number

373
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,120
Speaker 2: one ranking in Ohio. In Northern Kentucky, Cupcats has been

374
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: ranked number one before they got knocked off last week

375
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 2: by Madison Central, who's the top five team in the state.

376
00:19:24,240 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 2: So look, those aren't the only two teams. There are

377
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: a lot of teams that are going to be really

378
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,479
Speaker 2: difficult outs. We just had Baiden's game on Friday night.

379
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 2: Baden's put together one heck of a season, taking down

380
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: the South for the first time in more than twenty years,

381
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 2: and there are so many girls teams. Simon Kenton has

382
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 2: been ranked number one in the state always in Cincinnati,

383
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 2: you look at our teams coming from the girls Catholic

384
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,879
Speaker 2: leagues that could be difference makers. But certainly the Coda

385
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 2: West and Cupcat jumped to the top. Right now, It's

386
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 2: two teams that have been ranked number one in the

387
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 2: state with a chance to cut down nets. But Wyoming's

388
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: another team that everybody expects to take a next step

389
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: this year and maybe get to the state championship game.

390
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: We're deep this year. I'm excited for Cincinnati. It's not

391
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 2: just the star power of the cam Mercers and the

392
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 2: Joshua Tysons and all these guys that are going to

393
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 2: get big time college offers and recruits, but we are

394
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: really deep with teams this year. And I can see

395
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: Cincinnati sending several teams to the state tournament. I think

396
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 2: that's a great thing for our area.

397
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: What's everything coming up on Fox nineteen with whether it's

398

440
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: game was on the wrong radio station because I thought

441
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 4: yesterday was Tuesday. I'm all screwed up, and I have

442
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 4: no real reason for that.

443
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: I have a couple of quick updates for University of Cincinnati.

444
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: Their spring showcase will be April eighteenth at Nippert Stadium.

445
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: I believe their spring ball gets underway March ninth, and

446
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: their Pro day will be on March twenty fourth. So

447
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 1: some updated football dates from the University of Cincinnati. Okay,

448
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: now we'll get to talk things.

Speaker 7: day you had May Richardson and Phillips really cost that game.

452
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 7: But you know, at some point you gotta start winning

453
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 7: the spring training games, the preseason game. I'm tired of

454
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 7: losing the This is what carries overs by the Bengals

455
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 7: can't win in the regular season because they keep getting

456
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 7: used to losing in the preseason and it takes them

457
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,640
Speaker 7: eight games to get going because they're used to losing.

458
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 3: You gotta win these games.

459
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 7: I'm tired of losing these preseason in spring training games.

460
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: What do you all think?

461
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 1: I do my best to not worry about the results.

462
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:58,639

00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 9: being able to throw flags?

471
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 3: We did a p posal during the combine. We talked

472
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 3: about that. Let's go Cats shower thoughts with Austin Ellmore.

473
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 3: I did have an idea this morning in the shower. Yeah.

474
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 10: My thought and hope for Combine week is that somehow

475
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 10: Ty Simpson completely blows up the Combine and moves into

476
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 10: the top nine in the draft. Somehow, so one of

477
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 10: those defensive players may fall to the Bengals.

478
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 3: Wishful thinking. I'm sure you.

479
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 4: Know, Mary Kacabot of Cleveland dot Com, Cleveland Plain Dealer, whatever.

480
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a difference. Uh she said

481
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 4: the Browns are interested in ts.

482
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw that. I did see. Kuiper said that

483
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: without a doubt, Ty Simpson is his number two quarterback.

484
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 4: For what it's worth, there is no person I paid

485
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: attention to less and put less stock into their values

486
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: Hot Planted Earth than mel Kiper.

487
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 11: Junior, Tony, Austin, George in the Valley, get off a

488
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 11: little early today.

Speaker 3: Hopefully catch the Reds game on TV.

490
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 11: If you don't know, you can always go to the

00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 11: TV app dot t o to stream the game. Can't

00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 11: find it, I'm not sure if what's on there tonight,

493
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 11: but yeah, pregame is game and I want to give

494
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 11: a big shout out to Brenda. I mean, thanks, Bred,

495
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 11: you know what I do every time you make picks

496
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 11: on the radio. As I just picked the opposite, I

497
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 11: parlayed that I had a really good night last night.

498
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 3: I appreciate you.

499
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 11: Chad always go gets Chad's pigs.

500
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: Wow, you guys have a great day.

501
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 4: Go guess I'm gonna have to see saying Chad doesn't

502
00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 4: know ball, I meant to see who Chad likes tonight.

503
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 4: Then okay, interesting, always interesting to hear from George. Yeah,

504
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 4: George is a guy who does not spend a lot

505
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 4: of time now. As I said before, it does not

506
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,520
Speaker 4: have much of a relationship reality.

507
00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,360
Speaker 3: I'm more one than like.

508
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: Tony. This is a start bench cut for you. Why

509
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 2: just you? Because Austin's part of it. Start bench cut?

510
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: Who could power clean more?

511
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 12: Joe Danoman, Jeremy Raw, Jeremy or Austin Elmore start bench cut?

512
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 1: Like Austin has been invested in in weights recently, you've

513
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,439
Speaker 1: been invested in lifting. You're sending out tests of how

514
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: much you're you're you're benching and different stuff. So I

515
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 1: will say that Austin would clean the most, and then

516
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 1: I would say, so you're starting me, I would start you.

517
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 1: I would bench Daniman and I cut Raw only because

518
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 1: Raw was dealing with a serious ankle injury last training camp.

519
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 1: And you just wonder how much that impacts Sure, what

520
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: he's able to do from a clean standpoint.

521
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: Is it stable yet? Right?

522
00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: That sort of stuff, you know, is he is he

523
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: doing more flexibility? Is he doing more band work? Whereas

524
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: I think Daniman just walks in, throws the weight, puts

525
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:07,120
Speaker 1: the pre workout in and gets to work.

526
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 3: Agreed, Yeah, that's a good point.

527
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 4: I think Joe would also kind of dry scoop some like,

528
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 4: you know, what's that? What's that stuff? Everybody takes C

529
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 4: four like he would. He would even mix it with

530
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 4: I could see Danaman down the hatch.

531
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: He's got the he's got the the the rack in

532
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,480
Speaker 1: between his legs, and he goes and he grabs like

533
00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 1: the powder and he does like the lebron before he

534
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: goes into his power clean. I could see that's how

535
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,159
Speaker 1: he fires himself up.

536
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 5: Austin, I have figured out a workaround for the Alexa problem.

537
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 5: What you got to do is you got to go

538
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,200
Speaker 5: into your Alexa app in your phone and cast it

539
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,439
Speaker 5: from the Alexa app to the Alexa and then it

540
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: won't cut out.

541
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 4: Okay, there you go. He's figured out more than ours.

542
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,680
Speaker 3: That's more than our department's done in a.

543
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,800
Speaker 4: Long million, multimillion dollar company. What we were told is

544
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 4: that there's an issue with like Amazon specifically and like

545
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:13,360
Speaker 4: this whole Alexa plus thing that they're doing.

546
00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's a it's way above my head.

547
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: It's a lot disregard.

548
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 5: Right after I sent that talk back, my Alexa cut out,

549
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 5: but it lasted for twenty minutes rather than twenty seconds.

550
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, I'm so sorry, guys, So we take back

551
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 1: everything we just said.

552
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 3: I wish I could fix it.

553
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 13: Hey, fellas tone, what a weekend last week for you

554
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,920
Speaker 13: so far between the Barracats and your boy finally putting

555
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 13: out some name music and OUTI you is right about James.

556
00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:40,000
Speaker 2: I like you, but there's not.

557
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 13: A prospect out there. I think that dude doesn't like

558
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,719
Speaker 13: or a trade scenario that he's worked up. But if

559
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 13: they could happen, so I guess if you work up

560
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 13: favorite angle, you can.

561
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 3: Say well, I was right.

562
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 13: But seriously, though, O parents, just Halifiel, take care everybody

563
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 13: and who they are.

564
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: I do think there gets to be a point where

565
00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: James just throws the most outland of stuff out there,

566
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 1: and he's got so much out there that he can

567
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 1: once a player's drafted, like, yeah's see I called this.

568
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think that's a trait happened part of his strategy.

569
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 4: But I will also say this James mindset is correct.

570
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: You should be open to and considering and looking at

571
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 4: all avenues of acquisitions of all types.

572
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 3: You think to aggressively pursue a championship.

573
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter who it is, or how unattainable they might be,

574
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:31,520
Speaker 4: or what the cost might be. It should be a

575
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 4: conversation and it should be under consideration. James's attitude is correct.

576
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 4: Now when you get into his arrogance, it's a different story,

577
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:42,920
Speaker 4: but his attitude is correct.

578
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 2: Hey, fellas, Happy Tuesday. It's DJ pro.

579
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 14: I can't believe it, can't believe that this UC team

580
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 14: has me here again. Humped up pretty game tonight, Joe

581

00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:18,080
Speaker 4: probably out recklessly driving like a Georgia bulldog somewhere.

590
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: I h I got a text today from a buddy

591
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: of mine who's got post it note. Post it notes

592
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 1: now on teams if you're the Bearcats that you are

593
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,560
Speaker 1: rooting for to win or lose based on the upcoming schedule,

594
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 1: and not alone makes me feel like we're back in

595
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: the conversation.

596
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 6: Oh hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan, and well,

597
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 6: I'm nominating the following individuals to also have the authority

598
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: to throw penalty flags. Mister McGoo, one randomly drawn fan

599
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 6: in attendance at each game, and Vinny the fixer from.

600
00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 3: Vegas bet line.

601
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 6: Wow. I considered nominating Tim Couch and David Klingler to

602
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 6: throw flags, but they would have probably just been intercepted.

603
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,920
Speaker 1: How cool to be One fan at each game gets

604
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:13,280
Speaker 1: a flag to throw at any point.

605
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: Hey, Austin, funny right afternoon. Hope you're having a good one? Hey?

606
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, has since the shirts put that out yet on

607
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 12: a shirt. Indeed, aggressive pursuit of a championship and you

608
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 12: could insert name here.

609
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. Sounds like it could be a winner.

610
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 3: I have a good one, guys, don't. I don't think

611
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 3: they have, although I would be talking about it.

612
00:31:48,280 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 15: Talking about moving this defences back at GAVP. I have

613
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 15: wished for that ever since they opened the stadium. I

614
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 15: remember when Homer Bayley said it was like pitching in

615
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 15: a little league ball park, and it pissed me off

616
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 15: when the first time I heard Angram McCutcheon call it

617
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 15: great American small park. I mean, I understand both teams

618
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 15: have the same advantage, but it's still embarrassing when people

619
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 15: are talk about how small the ballpark is here.

620
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: Man, it's trying to figure out what that's about from

621
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: the background.

622
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:25,440
Speaker 8: What's up, boys? Craig and the Creek agree wholeheartedly. The

623
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 8: Reds need to do more. Could not disagree more about

624
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 8: the salary cap. The way the system is currently constructed,

625
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 8: small market teams can only build through the draft, and

626
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 8: big market teams drive the price on players up so

627
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 8: high that even when we do build through the draft,

628
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 8: as soon as our players become free agents, they swoop

629
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,520
Speaker 8: in and out prices. Can we compete for one year, yes,

630
00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 8: but year in and year out we're at a significant disadvantage.

631
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 4: I just disagree with that. I think they're there. There

632
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 4: is a lot of teams that want you to feel

633
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: that way. Now you are correct that I think some

634
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,959
Speaker 4: of these high these bigger market teams that might have

635
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 4: deeper pockets, they are driving prices up to an extent.

636
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 4: I agree with that sentiment for sure, But there are

637
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 4: plenty of owners around the league who could do more

638
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: but choose not to correct. That is ultimately the difference,

639
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: and that, to me is the biggest issue if it

640
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 4: were up to me, Like this is very nuanced and

641
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 4: I am by no means an expert, the players are

642
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 4: never going to agree to a salary cap. I think

643
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 4: there should be some sort of revenue sharing or a

644
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: much more strict luxury tax penalty that puts more money

645
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 4: into the pockets of the small market teams or the

646
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 4: teams who don't go over the luxury tax, which, by

647
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 4: the way, that's already happening, and it's a lot of

648
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 4: money that is disseminated to the rest of the league

649
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 4: because the Dodgers and Mets spend so much.

650
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, and other teams.

651
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,360
Speaker 4: That's already that's part of the revenue sharing that goes

652
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 4: back into the owner's pockets of the small market teams.

653
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 4: I think make that more strict, put a salary floor in,

654
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 4: and come up with some sort of revenue sharing that

655
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 4: makes sense. Maybe if maybe it's based on winning. Let's

656
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,919
Speaker 4: say you win more games, you get a bigger piece

657
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 4: of the pot.

658
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, No one, like I said, no one's ever going

659
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 1: to agree to the salary cap. It's already it's already

660
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: wide open. Like I go to it all the time.

661
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,640
Speaker 1: In the NFL model of you know, they have done

662
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,359
Speaker 1: so much to limit padded practices, to limit to a days.

663
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 1: Do you think anyone's ever going to get together and say,

664
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,359
Speaker 1: you know what, let's agree to go back to how

665
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 1: it was right, Let's go back to more padded practices.

666
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 1: Let's go back to two a days. Even though it

667
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,719
Speaker 1: might help, you're not going to do that. No one's

668
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: going to agree to that. No one is going to

669
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: agree to the salary cap. You're you're not going to

670
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: come to an agreement on that. So what can you

671
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: do to build around that and get to a point

672
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:55,080
Speaker 1: where a point where both these sides can agree.

673
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to make sense.

674
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 4: And you know, I don't know how to get to

675
00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: where everybody is happy. I don't know if that's possible,

676
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: but I think there is just I just fundamentally disagree

677
00:35:07,960 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 4: with that idea that it's entirely based off of of

678
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:16,399
Speaker 4: you know, large market teams. There are owners that can

679
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 4: do a lot more. The Reds are one of them.

680
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 15: I don't know.

681
00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:22,520
Speaker 16: Tom said, you don't need any more of that. I

682
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,239
Speaker 16: think we need all the good vibes we can when

683
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:29,360
Speaker 16: it comes to the UC basketball program. We'll be rooting

684
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 16: for them along with you, sir. Oh h pizza dude,

685
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 16: Covington long pants guy, long pants guy.

686
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 14: I know we're not going to get a lot today

687
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 14: from Duke Tobin. I get that, but if I hear

688
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 14: the words we like our.

689
00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 5: Linebackers, oh boy, I'm going to lose my ever loving mind.

690
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: That's what we should have done with Joe is what

691
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:54,560
Speaker 1: do you expect to hear from Duke? And what do

692
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: you not want to hear from Duke? Because that would

693
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: certainly qualify.

694
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:04,719
Speaker 2: Yep Tony Austin Joe d wanted to add two more

695
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:08,879
Speaker 2: teams to the high schools you asked me to keep

696
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: an eye out for in March. I would kick myself

697
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,799
Speaker 2: if I didn't mention Witton Woods, who only has one

698
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,240
Speaker 2: loss all season, hasn't lost to a team from Ohio

699
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 2: all year, and Mount Notre Dame undefeated MND. Two more

700
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 2: teams to watch from Cincinnati next month.

701
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 4: I just know Joe hung up the phone and was like,

702
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 4: damn it, yep. If I don't say these two schools,

703
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 4: I'm gonna hear about it.

704
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 3: Yep. So he left to talk back. I like that.

705
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 3: I appreciate that from Joe.

706
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 4: By the way, good luck to the lady Yellowjackets in

707
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:43,440
Speaker 4: action tonight, tournament action up against Bellbrook. It's gonna be

708
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:47,399
Speaker 4: a tall task Bellbrook's tough Sydney struggles to score. It's

709
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 4: gonna be a tall task for him.

710
00:36:50,400 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: My entire life.

711
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 10: I think that might be the first time I've ever

712
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 10: heard someone say my Hornets play tonight.

713
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 3: And it's a good point. It is, man, That is uh,

714
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 3: that's the truth.

715
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 4: Hey, show from Casey here about great American and moving

716
00:37:10,600 --> 00:37:13,040
Speaker 4: in the fence. You got to remember it's really not

717
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 4: how big or small it is that matters.

718
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 3: It's it's really how you use it. You know, you

719
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,000
Speaker 3: got to build a team to use it the way

720
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,839
Speaker 3: it is. Who did okay? Our last one? All right?

721
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,520
Speaker 3: Still one second when we get back. Oh you want

722
00:37:28,520 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: to do one? You want to do?

723
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:29,799
Speaker 7: We do?

724
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: We could do too. No, it's one is fine, one

725
00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 3: and done. We still got a third hour.

726
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:39,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do have three hours to do. Phone lines

727
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: will be open. Five one, three, seven, nine, fifteen thirty.

728
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,799
Speaker 1: Disappointed in uh lack of action on the phone lines.

729
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, wake up, maybe we'd get more.

730
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 4: It's I mean, it's a big day, but maybe that's

731
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 4: on us for not doing enough.

732
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,120
Speaker 1: It's a big day. Why why is it so big today? Well,

733
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,240
Speaker 1: if I look at this player schedule that's color coded. Uh, today,

734
00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 1: dB and tight ends are arriving. They're going through registration

735
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: at the combine, while kickers, d linemen and linebackers are

736
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:11,239
Speaker 1: doing team interviews, studies in general medical exams. That's all

737
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: happening to the combine. Red's got a game at three

738
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 1: zho five Bearcats play at seven o'clock. There's so much

739
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 1: going on, no one wants to talk about it. Five one, three, seven, four, nine,

740
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty. That's your chance on ESPN. I want to

741
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: see Johnny from Mount Healthy's Big Board. When's that coming out?

742
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: It's a great point, great question, no answers. More to

743
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 1: come next on ESPN fifteen thirty.

744
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 3: You're one stop for advertising.

745
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: Welcome back since he three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati

746
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:58,400
Speaker 1: Sports Station. This is of course Angel Ridge by our

747
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,880
Speaker 1: friend Jeff Henry. I got the new CD yesterday.

748
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 4: I saw that this is a momentous day and show history.

749
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 4: Jeff Henry has released another.

750
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:09,719
Speaker 1: True part CD Volume one like a River Volume two

751
00:39:09,840 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: coming around now. It's not going to be on digital

752
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: to like March fifteenth or sixteenth. So I realized yesterday Austin,

753
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,320
Speaker 1: I've got to find a CD player so that I

754
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: can listen to these new songs from Jeff. You don't

755
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: have one in your car. I don't have a CD

756
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:27,439
Speaker 1: player in the car. Everything's like car play. I don't

757
00:39:27,480 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: have that now, not even like in your trunk. You

758
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 1: remember those back in the day. I do, like six

759
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: of them bad Boys. I remember that, Yep. That was

760
00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,920
Speaker 1: really the peak of that was peak engineering. That was

761
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 1: peak when it comes to vehicles. Listen to this, and

762
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 1: this is obviously very early in the process, which means

763
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: a lot of speculation. But I follow along on on

764
00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,760
Speaker 1: social media with the Field of sixty eight social media account,

765
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 1: and they were doing a little bit of a coaching

766
00:39:55,840 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 1: carousel rundown, and I was surprised by this. With Jeff

767
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: Goodman obviously basketball analyst, he's the co founder of the

768
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 1: Field of sixty eight, but very I would say connected

769
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,520
Speaker 1: when it comes to college basketball. Jeff Goodman said this today,

770
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 1: Austin Providence will likely go for a safe hire, or

771
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: at least one to appease the fan base. The easy

772
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 1: choice is Richard Patino, whose sources say would highly consider

773
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 1: leaving Xavier after just one season. Could you imagine that?

774
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: Now?

775
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: Obviously Patino and his dad and Providence, there would be

776
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 1: some ties there, But I genuinely got the feeling that

777
00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,520
Speaker 1: Patino has enjoyed his time with Xavier.

778
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 3: Well.

779
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 4: To bring back the point you mentioned earlier about how

780
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 4: upfront and honest he is about needing more money. Sure,

781
00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 4: maybe if Xavier can't commit to that, yeah, maybe it

782
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 4: does or happen. If you are Richard Patino, maybe you

783
00:41:01,480 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 4: do float something like that out there to kid Xavier

784
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:08,360
Speaker 4: to do what pony up some more Bucks. Sure, okay,

785
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 4: playing the game here. Speaking of which in the game,

786
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 4: did I see that? Wake Forest?

787
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 3: I saw this?

788
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:21,040
Speaker 4: Steve Forbes, Yeah, is going to remain the head coach

789
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 4: of wake Forest basketball. Seven years zero NCAA tournament appearances

790
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 4: for Steve Forbes. Ad John Curry at wake Forest has

791
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:38,359
Speaker 4: supported Steve Forbes and said he's gonna be the coach

792
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,160
Speaker 4: next year. That's crazy. Seven years no tournament appearances for

793
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:43,279
Speaker 4: the Demon Deacons.

794
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: Last night, Bill self moved to forty one to oh

795
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,040
Speaker 1: On Big Monday at Fall Gallen, they give Houston their

796
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,799
Speaker 1: third straight loss. It might be the proverbial Houston. We

797
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: have a problem on the offensive side of the ball

798
00:41:55,760 --> 00:42:00,480
Speaker 1: right now. They get no production from their inside and

799
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:04,200
Speaker 1: that is creating a problem and something that defenses are

800
00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: able to isolate a little bit. As far as it

801
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,319
Speaker 1: goes with the Houston Cougars. That was an impressive win

802
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: from Kansas last night. And I would assume if you're

803
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 1: following along, a good win for UC since they just

804
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 1: came off of a game in which they beat Kansas

805
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,680
Speaker 1: on the road, So you want Kansas to continue and

806
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:27,880
Speaker 1: pick up their winning ways. We are thirty days away

807
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: from opening day at Great American Ballpark mentioned this yesterday, Austin,

808
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:39,800
Speaker 1: Is this as easy of a list to get through today?

809
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: Do we have to recite the other names? Or do

810
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 1: you go right to Ken Griffey Jr. Who donned the

811
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: number thirty from two thousand to two thousand and five

812
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 1: for the Cincinnati Reds.

813
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 4: It would be hard not to think of some of

814
00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 4: the other I don't know that I would say greats.

815
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 4: I mean his own father, some of the other really

816
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 4: really good players in Red's history to wear that number,

817
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:08,600
Speaker 4: including as you mentioned, Ken Griffy Senior, who I think

818
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,280
Speaker 4: is one of the most underrated players in the history

819
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:18,680
Speaker 4: of baseball. Ken Griffy could flat out play, and Junior

820
00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:21,720
Speaker 4: obviously up there as well. Joey j was a legend

821
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 4: for the Reds back in the day, back in the

822
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 4: nineteen sixties. Who could forget Norris Hopper as I mentioned yesterday,

823
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 4: Diana Navarro, who was a terrible player. Paul Darringer. Paul

824
00:43:37,239 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 4: Dearringer was on the nineteen forty team that won the

825
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 4: World Series. Clint Hurdle has permanently red and skin due

826
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 4: to alcohol poisoning. He's the former skipper of the Pittsburgh Pirates,

827
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 4: one of my least favorite players of all time. How

828
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 4: could you forget Hirsh least favorite people of all time?

829
00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:55,760
Speaker 4: Hrsh Freeman, Oh gosh? In his time? What about Dallas

830
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 4: Williams in nineteen eighty three, Roberto Big Dally?

831
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 3: I used to call him Berto Kelly.

832
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 1: What about Big Quinton McCracken, Not Big Earn McCracken. No,

833
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,319
Speaker 1: Quinton McCracken. Quinton McCracken. I remember him a little bit.

834
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:13,960
Speaker 4: Quinton McCracken had a He was around Major League baseball

835
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:14,520
Speaker 4: quite a bit.

836
00:44:14,600 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 1: Now, Will Benson keeps hitting the ball like he's doing

837
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:19,880
Speaker 1: at spring training so far he might give Junior a

838
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: run for his money this year?

839
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 4: Are you forgetting the first ever read to wear the

840
00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:30,280
Speaker 4: number thirty back in nineteen thirty from Clarksville, Ohio? Oh Biff,

841
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 4: Why song?

842
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 3: Oh Biff? Come on now?

843
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 4: How about oh Man? How about Biff? He started one

844
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 4: game for the Reds in nineteen thirty. He has a

845
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 4: nineteen point twenty nine er.

846
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 3: Was that higher or lower than what Malley finished up with?

847
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 4: Old Biff pitched in two and a third innings in

848
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 4: nineteen thirty with a nineteen point three died era Tyler Valley.

849
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: Of course, has anyone else Miss Organization pitches than Tyler

850
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 1: Maley Tyler.

851
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:05,239
Speaker 4: Valley un like unfortunately for our narrative here, that dude

852
00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:06,479
Speaker 4: has awesome last year.

853
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 3: He was really good last year. Yep. Doesn't quite fit

854
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 3: into our native There was nobody. I mean, gosh, it

855
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 3: was hard to watch a game Malley.

856
00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,680
Speaker 1: It wasn't because it almost became eventially see to see

857
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: how many pitches he would throw.

858
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, how's he gonna get up at two in the

859
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 4: count here and get it full?

860
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

861
00:45:26,080 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: I like it was. It was something you had to

862
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:32,400
Speaker 1: tune into every single time he pitched.

863
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 3: Well, more like the more so like the first.

864
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: And second anymore you're like, oh, here we go thirty

865
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: five already Yep, in the first. Good for him though,

866
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: because it's still working. He's still he's still trump mowing

867
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 1: them down. Well, what didn't work? He had to get

868
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: Tommy John Serge. Wow, it'll be best shocker. Yes, would

869
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 1: have thought that that much stress on the elbow would

870
00:45:57,640 --> 00:45:58,000
Speaker 1: cause that.

871
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 4: I just remember when I have to produce the games

872
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,880
Speaker 4: that he pitched. Oh and you want to talk? You

873
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 4: knew you were in for a long one. As John

874
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 4: Rothstein likes to call losing a bye game the epitome

875
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,799
Speaker 4: of brutality.

876
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:14,080
