1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Pike since he three sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati Sponsorman

2
00:00:06,160 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 1: Park by Cincy Shirts, Cincy Shirts all since e all day.

3
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. It's our number two the Tuesday edition.

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 2: Since he three sixty thanks to Cincy Shirts. Our number

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: two on Tuesday means our guy from Fox nineteen is

7
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: standing by to join us right now. The problem is, Austin,

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: I just don't know if there's enough storylines that we

9
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: can talk about today with Joe. So we're gonna have

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 2: to dig pretty deep to try to figure out how

11
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 2: to get a segment out of this with Joe Danaman

12
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: joining us right now. What's up, Joe?

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to talk about elbow infractions

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 3: on beer pong elbow infractions.

15
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: That is a false claim. I was clearly three feet

16
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: behind the table. People just don't like greatness.

17
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 4: Joe.

18
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: Your arms are four feet long. People struggle with greatness

19
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 2: at different times.

20
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 4: You're so tall you.

21
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 3: Can just reach across and just drop the ball right

22
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: into a cop.

23
00:00:57,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 4: It's unfair.

24
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well I was carried by my wife, so I

25
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: didn't even play the best. So there's that. Did you

26
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: catch any of John Cena's final Monday Night were all

27
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 2: last night.

28
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's on tape on record. I haven't

29
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: gotten there yet. No spoilers just yet.

30
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 2: Uh do we have any traction? I know we're going

31
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: to dive into the Bengals any chance, Elder say Next

32
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: is going to be played at pay Course Stadium.

33
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: Boy, That's what I've been working on the last half

34
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 3: hour here. Let me say this. I can say this

35
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: publicly because I have it confirmed from two people.

36
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: I do know that workers.

37
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: Are being mobilized to be ready for Friday night and

38
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: a high school football game at pay Course Stadium. That

39
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 3: does not mean it's for sure happening. I know there

40
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: is another venue in the Tri State that's also in play,

41
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: that is trying to get this.

42
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 5: Game at their venue.

43
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 3: But I think the big winner here is State Next

44
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 3: Elder and high.

45
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 5: School football in Cincinnati.

46
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: That we can get a bigger venue for a game

47
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 3: that deserves to be played at a bigger venue. It's

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 3: the biggest hig school football game of the year here

49
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: in Cincinnati.

50
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 4: So the fact that I'm.

51
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: Always yes, let's play it at a high school venue,

52
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 3: yet let's make.

53
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 4: It feel exclusive.

54
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,959
Speaker 3: But if there are that many people who want to

55
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: come see this game played.

56
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: Why would we not use.

57
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 3: The facilities that are here in town to get more

58
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: people in to see what will.

59
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: Be a great game for sure, without a doubt. Now,

60
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: outside of that, it has been a pretty busy week

61
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: around the Cincinnati Bengals with everything that happened in the

62
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 2: loss to the Pittsburgh Stealer is let's start with the

63
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase incident. Let's start with I think let's start

64
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: with how it's being handled from the organization. We weren't able,

65
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 2: you know. We see the video and then we hear

66
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase's response and then the suspension, and we've really

67
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: yet to hear from Jamar Chase to this point. How

68
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: do you view how this has been handed internally from

69
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals up to this point.

70
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: It's interesting because Jamar choosing not to speak is his decision.

71
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: And the way Mondays work at pay Course Stadium with

72
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: open the locker room, the team comes out of the

73
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: team meeting and the entire team flows into the locker

74
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: room at the exact same time. So there was a

75
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 3: heavier presence of media than usual on Monday afternoon. We

76
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 3: were all waiting around Jamar's locker. You would think he

77
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: would have to stop there, get some personal items and leave.

78
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 4: He did not.

79
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 3: He just walked right to the locker room. Ben Baby

80
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: from ESPN was the one who kind of branched out

81
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: to kind of go over there and test the water

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: so to speak with Jamar, to see I who wanted

83
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 3: to talk.

84
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: He asked him, and he shook his head no. He said,

85
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 4: can we take that as an official no comment? He

86
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: shook his head yes, and he was out of the room.

87
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: So Jamar Chase chose not to speak. I don't know.

88
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm okay with him not speaking, but I also think

89
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 3: there was an opportunity there for him to speak and

90
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 3: say what he wanted to say, if it's an apology

91
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 3: or if it's him a misunderstanding of what happened on Sunday.

92
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: The hard part for Jamar in this situation is the

93
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 3: video was posted it after he did his postgame interview,

94
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 3: So did he think he got away with it and

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 3: no one noticed it, and that's why he thought he

96
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 3: could confidently say he didn't do it, and then the

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: video came out there after, so that that's what put

98
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 3: him in a bit of a bind on what he said,

99
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 3: how it was handled by the organization. This is this

100
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: is how the Bengals do it right that Zach Taylor

101
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 3: has to be the voice of the organization on this one.

102
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: That's part of the job description in Cincinnati as Bengals

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: head coaches, you're the voice of the organization in good

104
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 3: times and in bad And Zach stood by Jamar and

105
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: he should because I think Jamar has earned that.

106
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 4: Now.

107
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 3: We've seen Jamar have these crashouts that seemed to have

108
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: happened once a year. I mean, I think back to

109
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 3: last year in Kansas City early in the season when

110
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: he had a moment like this, and then he had

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 3: this one on Sunday in Pittsburgh. And listen, provoked or

112
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 3: not right? I mean, we all understand what Jalen Ramsey's about.

113
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 3: You know, if anybody can provoke a j Green to

114
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: do what he did, certainly he's he's a master at

115
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 3: provoking guys to do things. And and and it happened

116
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: to Jamar Chase on Sunday in Pittsburgh. And how it's

117
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: being handled. This is what they do. And Zach Taylor

118
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 3: has to answer the questions. He's standing by Jamar it's

119
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,119
Speaker 3: what he has to do, and I think he should

120
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,120
Speaker 3: stand by Jamar because I think Jamar is about the

121
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 3: right stuff, even though we had that moment on Sunday

122
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 3: and uh yeah, that that's just the way the Bengals

123
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 3: are going to do it. It's gonna be curious how

124
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: how quickly the appeal plays out for whenever Jamar does

125
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 3: talk next, because it's scheduled to speak on Thursday, but

126
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 3: that likely won't happen.

127
00:05:54,720 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 4: This week unless the suspension is appealed and won. Otherwise

128
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 4: we're not gonna hear from the bar for another week.

129
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: So that's everything going on away from the field right now.

130
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: The other issue is what's happening on the field this team,

131
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 2: with another disappointing loss, things continue to unravel in the

132
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: wrong direction, and now you're looking at the tall task

133
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 2: of playing the hottest team in football, more than likely

134
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 2: without your best offensive weapon. At this point, what does

135
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: this mean from just a sheer football standpoint for the Bengals.

136
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:27,279
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not just your best offensive weapon. You

137
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 3: could argue that Joe Burrow, Jamar Chase Trey Hendrickson, or

138
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 3: this team's three best players at worst, three of their

139
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 3: four best players, and now you're playing the team with

140
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: the best record in football without three or your four

141
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 3: best players, or maybe all three of your best players.

142
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 3: It's that's a difficult thing to process for this team

143
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 3: going forward. Look, I feel like the Patriots can be had.

144
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: I'm not sold that they're the best team in the NFL,

145
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 3: that they've earned their record.

146
00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 5: They are what they are.

147
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 4: Drake Mays an awesome player, Mike Brabel's.

148
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: A great coach, that they're on the come up, but

149
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 3: I do think they can be beaten. I just I

150
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 3: don't see a path for this team wait without Trey Hendrickson,

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: with without Jamar Chase, without Joe Burrow to get it

152
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 3: done on Sunday.

153
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 4: Now with the NFL, we.

154
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 3: See weird things happen all the time in this league.

155
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 3: But at the same time, I don't see the pass

156
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 3: for the Bengals to win on Sunday without those three players. Austin,

157
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 3: I don't want to hijack the conversation. Can you hit

158
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: the breaking new sounder?

159
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: Oh?

202
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 6: Thanks thanks for choosing to break that news with us, Joe.

203
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: We appreciate that a lesser person would have just hung

204
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 2: up the phone. A lesser person would have.

205
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 3: Just you and I did breaking news together during this show.

206
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: It was when Joe Flacco got traded to the Angle, Yes,

207
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 3: and we were trying to process that on the air,

208
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: and you think back to that conversation and where the

209
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: Bengals are now. I mean this it was we didn't think,

210
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 3: I don't know on the surface, I was like, it's

211
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: a guy.

212
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco doesn't have much less.

213
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: He's been great.

214
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: I know he came back to Earth on Sunday a

215
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 3: little bit, and that was always the worry and into

216
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 3: Tony's last question about the Bengals playing the Patriots on

217
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: Sunday is Yeah, the defense is the defense, but the

218
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,960
Speaker 3: offense has been pretty elite all season.

219
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 5: Now you wonder, as.

220
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 3: Joe Flacco will come back to earth a little bit

221
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: now you don't have Jamar Chase. What's the past to

222
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 3: beating the Patriots. I don't know, other than the NFL

223
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 3: can get weird.

224
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 6: Something that I found interesting Joe is the last two Mondays,

225
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 6: Zach Taylor has basically cut off the idea that Trey

226
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 6: Henderson could play. Now normally he's pretty coy about these

227
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 6: injuries and said, we'll see how it happens. We'll see this.

228
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 6: See He's immediately said Trey has been doubtful both this

229
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 6: last press conference yesterday and the Monday before. Is there

230
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 6: any indication about a timetable for Trey Hendrickson or what

231
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,440
Speaker 6: he's going through or if he's going to be able

232
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: to play again this year?

233
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: None whatsoever.

234
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, The only information we have is the exact information

235
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: that you've heard from.

236
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 4: And I've noticed the same thing. And you know, I

237
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: don't like to.

238
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 3: Say these things out loud on public, but I think

239
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: you have to wonder, is Trey Hendrickson going to play

240
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 3: any more meaningful snaps in Cincinnati.

241
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: I just don't know.

242
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, But the only information we've had is what's been

243
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 3: given from Zach Taylor, and it's been very quick. Doubtful, doubtful, doubtful.

244
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 3: It's weird that he's always landed on doubtful and never

245
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 3: an out, But it kind of feels like doubtful with

246
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 3: an expectation.

247
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 4: That, oh, yeah, he's out, not going to play.

248
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: So I think it has to be in the back

249
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: of everyone's mind that the timetable well Trey Hendrickson could

250
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,640
Speaker 3: include him not playing the rest of the season. I

251
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: think I would bet against that. But at this point,

252
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,240
Speaker 3: the only information we have is that he continues to

253
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 3: say doubtful on a weekly.

254
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: Basis as it relates to who will be available on

255
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: Sunday against the Patriots if Jamar Chase and the suspension

256
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: are upheld. Do we see Jermaine Burden active for this

257
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: game or we pass that.

258
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 4: I have no idea that is a curveball. I don't know.

259
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: It feels like he's been weirdly phased out the last

260
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 3: couple of weeks with whatever this this illness is.

261
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 5: He's around, We saw him yesterday.

262
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 3: Oddly he was the last one who was still inside

263
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: the locker room. Certainly there's a space and an opportunity

264
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: for him. I would think Mitchell Tinsley is the likely

265
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 3: choice to get a lot of snaps with Jamar Chase

266
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: if he's not going to play on Sunday, but being active,

267
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: I mean, man, you would think you would think he

268
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 3: would have a chance to be active. But the way

269
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: he's been treated here the last couple of weeks with

270
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,959
Speaker 3: illnesses and just not being involved, it kind of feels

271
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 3: like he's almost been put in this weird category of

272
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,959
Speaker 3: just out of sight, out of mind, and can he

273
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 3: pop up here in one week and a handful of

274
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 3: practices and earn his way to an activation on Sunday.

275
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 3: Certainly the past is there, but it feels like a

276
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 3: long shot to me for Jermaine Jermaine Burton to do

277
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,440
Speaker 3: anything that would be of any kind of a difference

278
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 3: making role on Sunday against the Patriots.

279
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: The questions will remain with Joe Burrow. And you talked

280
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: about Trey Hendrickson and will he play meaningful snaps. It's

281
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: one thing to talk about Joe Burrow in the sense

282
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 2: when everything was still alive, right going into the Pittsburgh game.

283
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 2: Beat Pittsburgh and let's reconvene. Let's see what happens. Seeing

284
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 2: the game to Pittsburgh, being a big underdog to New England.

285
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: Does that change how you view how Joe Burrow would

286
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:07,600
Speaker 2: be handled.

287
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 3: No, it doesn't seem how I view it. But my

288
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,960
Speaker 3: view is completely different from what I'm feeling from the

289
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: stadium because my view is if the Bengals are not

290
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: in this and don't have a chance to go to

291
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: the playoffs, and it feels like that, for all intents

292
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 3: and purposes, died Sunday in Pittsburgh, that he should not

293
00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 3: play because the Bengals are going to enter the offseason

294
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: with so many questions on so many different levels, and

295
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 3: that extends all the way up to the front office,

296
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: the coaching staff, personnel. How to rebuild this defense, how

297
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 3: to get this team competitive in twenty twenty six? Do

298
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 3: they need to hit a reset button? The last thing

299
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 3: you need is one more giant question on the top

300
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 3: of all of those mountains of questions of is our

301
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 3: quarterback going to be ready? Is he going to have

302
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: to be coming back from another injury?

303
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 4: Now, what I'm.

304
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 3: Feeling from Joe talking and talking to people at the

305
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 3: stadium is that Joe wants to play football because Joe

306
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: likes to play football, and Joe is paid to play football,

307
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 3: And I get that, and I think that's most likely

308
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: what is going to happen if I had to bet

309
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 3: it right now, that no matter what the record is,

310
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: that Joe Burrow is going to push to play and

311
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: likely will win his push and get on the field

312
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 3: at some point this season. But does somebody in the

313
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 3: organization have to protect him from himself? Does somebody else

314
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 3: have to make that decision? Are we going to get

315
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 3: another Mike Brown on the golf cart with Joe Burrow

316
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 3: out of practice and him telling him what's going to

317
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: happen that week? But what happened that week was Joe

318
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 3: ended up playing on that Sunday night. So a kind

319
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 3: of feels like, and I don't mean this, I mean

320
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: it somewhat tongue in cheek, is that it feels like

321
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: some Joe Burrow makes a lot of decisions about himself

322
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: and maybe a lot of decisions that affect other people

323
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 3: in the organization, and maybe he's earned that. But if

324
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: it were me, I would not play him because I

325
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: would not want to risk adding another giant question mark

326
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: to what is already going to be an offseason full

327
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 3: of them.

328
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 4: But if Joe Burrow is going to push.

329
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 3: The play and he gets the green light from the

330
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: medical staff that he's ready to go.

331
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: I think you're going to see him at some point

332
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:27,600
Speaker 4: this season.

333
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Outside of everything going on with the Bengals, it's a

334
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 2: huge obviously local sports weekend. We've outlined Friday night now

335
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 2: with Elder Stex at pay Course Stadium. You see in

336
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 2: Louisville at Heritage Bank. Saturday, big noon kickoff comes to town.

337
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: You see plays host to BYU for nip at Night.

338
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: This game has obviously lost a little bit of the

339
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 2: build up because you're now not in control of your

340
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: own destiny if you're the Cincinnati Bearcats. But how important

341
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: is this game, Joe? For a team in Scott Saderfield

342
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,359
Speaker 2: who last year got to five and two and lost

343
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 2: their last five. They've now reached this great moment. They've

344
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 2: lost their last two. Here comes another good opponent. How

345
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 2: important is Saturday for Scott Saderfield and the Bearcats.

346
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 3: Well, I think you made the great point there, and

347
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 3: you've made that several times here the last couple of.

348
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 5: Weeks is that you see can't repeat.

349
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,880
Speaker 3: What they did last season and the fade out at

350
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 3: the end of the season. When you get spot lit

351
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 3: like this, you've got to perform. And they're going to

352
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: be spot lit on Saturday night and on Saturday morning

353
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 3: afternoon with Big Noon being there and then them getting

354
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 3: the eight o'clock game on Fox. When your spotlight like

355
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 3: spot lit like this, and you're right, you know that

356
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: the past isn't as clear as it was in the

357
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: Big twelve Championship, that shouldn't matter Saturday Night. Saturday Night

358
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 3: should be about a chance for you see football to

359
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 3: be on a stage and perform. You know, Scott saderfield

360
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: enough this year to quiet a lot of people and

361
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 3: perhaps even save his job. And I think he's done

362
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 3: a very good job this year. But there are still

363
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 3: questions we all have about UC football going into this

364
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: game on Saturday Night, And to me, the biggest spotlight

365
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,919
Speaker 3: is on the quarterback. And I love everything that Brendan

366
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 3: Sorsby is about. I love the way he handles himself.

367
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: He's a tough kid. He's had a great season, but

368
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 3: in some of the biggest games of the year, he

369
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,720
Speaker 3: hasn't played his best football. So he's the one I'm

370
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 3: watching the most. On a stage like Saturday Night with

371
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: a lot of people in the country watching him, maybe

372
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:40,159
Speaker 3: for the first time it can he perform like the

373
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,479
Speaker 3: Brendan Soorsby that can make you see a top twenty

374
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: five is team that can keep you see alive in

375
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 3: a Big twelve race, that can get you see to

376
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 3: a good Bowl game, or who knows, get a shot

377
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 3: at the Big twelve championship and go to the playoffs.

378
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 3: But when you get a moment like this in a stage,

379
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: you got to perform. And the person I want to

380
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,120
Speaker 3: see performed the best and the most is the quarterback

381
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 3: because we know what he's capable of, yes in the

382
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 3: game and some of the biggest games of the.

383
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 5: Year, he just hasn't delivered.

384
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 3: And he's got a shot here right that maybe he's

385
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 3: last shot against BYU, so really deliver in this game

386
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: in front of a national audience.

387
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 5: He's the one I'm watching obviously.

388
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 2: That's Saturday night. Sunday is Bengals Patriots Sunday night, MESSI

389
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: comes into town. What all do you guys have going

390
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 2: on at Fox nineteen coming up?

391
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 3: I mean, you think about Saturday Big Noons starts at

392
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:33,239
Speaker 3: ten and then you have the Ohio State game on

393
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 3: at noon and then you had the UC game.

394
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 4: On at eight.

395
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a massive day for football watching on Fox.

396
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: So we're excited to have that.

397
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 3: And then Sunday, yeah, we'll be doing it both.

398
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 5: We'll be at.

399
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 3: Pay Court Stadium. Then we'll finish up with postgame there

400
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,239
Speaker 3: and head straight over to Messi versus FC Cincinnati. And

401
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 3: that's such an awesome event in such a huge game,

402
00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: And it's been one of these things that's been kind

403
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 3: of under talked about it how well at Sea Cincinnati

404
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: has done against Messi since he's come to Major League Soccer.

405
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,639
Speaker 3: But now now you're gonna get the best Messi shot

406
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,120
Speaker 3: right now. Now you're going to get him in an

407
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 3: Eastern Conference semi final with its winner go home two

408
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 3: games away. Then if you win that for winning the

409
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 3: MLS Cup, that to me is going to be theater.

410
00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: It's going to be cinema to see what Messi does

411
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: when the stakes are this high. Coming to Cincinnati and

412
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 3: TQL Stadium, I can't wait Sunday. It is going to

413
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:31,320
Speaker 3: be an absolute banger. But it's a great weekend starting

414
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: Friday night and then continues all the way through Sunday.

415
