Speaker 2: will play those talkbacks in our number two this afternoon.

16
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: We've got a ton to get to over the course

17
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: of the next three hours. We've got NFL Combine week

18
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: upon us. Yes, the NFL Scouting Combine happens this week.

19
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 2: The Reds have already played in two spring training Cactus

20
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 2: League games. They lost both, but we'll talk about some

21
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: highs and maybe some things too a little bit be

22
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: concerned about. As the Reds are off today and then

23
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 2: they return to action tomorrow. We'll talk about FC Cincinnati

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 2: winning their MLS opener at TQL Stadium, along with many

25
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: other things with your phone calls sprinkled in five to one, three, seven, nine,

26
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. Some of the key things that we will

27
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: discuss this afternoon, though, is what happened in the college

28
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: basketball world over the weekend. I got a lot of

29
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: tweets Austin over the weekend that said, man, Tony's going

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: to be insufferable on Monday.

31
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 3: And you already have been so far this.

32
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 2: I am going to be even more insufferable throughout this afternoon.

33
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 3: You're just a hard guy to be around when the

34
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 3: Bearcats are performing well four because there's really no winning

35
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: with class. There's no humility, no, there's no you know

36
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: at all, just there's none of that, and so that

37
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 3: makes you difficult to be around. But for you, know,

38
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: as your friend at least I think as your friend

39
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 3: and co host, I'm happy for you that you get

40
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 3: to experience the joy of winning, not just the joy

41
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: that being said, I'm sad for those around you.

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 2: The joy I have to deal with you. I would

43
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: say domination eighty four to sixty eight. Something that doesn't

44
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 2: happen at fall Gallen Fieldhouse. The worst home loss for

45
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 2: quite some time for Bill self Kansas was two seventy

46
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 2: seven and nine at home against unranked opponents. Under Bill

47
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 2: self and the Cincinnati Bearcats for the first time since

48
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety went on the road, a true road game

49
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: and beat a top ten ranked team. Not a bad

50
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: weekend for the Bearcats. Will recap everything that was in

51
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 2: the college basketball world, all outside of the Bearcats winning,

52
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,519
Speaker 2: Louisville Gotta win, Dayton Gotta win, and Miami RedHawks Austin

53
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 2: Senior Night with Miles Garrett in attendance.

54
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's a polar bear doing in Arlington, Texas?

55
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: A Mallette Hall Polar Bear siding, Miami rolls over Bowling Green,

56
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: and losses over the weekend by NKU, Ohio State, Kentucky

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 2: and the Xavier Musketeers. We will recap all of that

58
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: ahead this afternoon. We have to talk about, though, of

59
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: what seemingly can galvanize a country in a way that

60
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: nothing else can Austin. And that was eight am yesterday,

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: gold medal match on the heels of the USA women

62
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: beating Canada in overtime to win a gold medal themselves.

63
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: Yesterday saw an early, early goal from Team USA and

64
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: then I don't know if you were watching the same

65
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 2: game I watched Austin. After the initial goal, it felt

66
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: like USA was on their heels for the remainder of

67
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 2: the game.

68
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, like it felt

69
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: like the United States dominated the first forty seconds of

70
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: the game and really didn't have control of the puck.

71
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 3: Oh my again until the game winner in overtime. It,

72
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 3: like I said, it felt like an absolute onslaught. They

73
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 3: say that the the ice is tilted in those moments,

74
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 3: and it felt like it was because it felt like

75
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: it went fifteen minutes without the ball being in or

76
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: without the puck being in the Canadian zone.

77
00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 2: It was unbelievable. Forty two shots on goal for the Canadians,

78
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 2: just twenty eight for Team USA, but they got the

79
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: two that mattered, two goals, including the overtime winner by

80
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,160
Speaker 2: Jack Hughes. In a moment Austin that I don't know

81
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: can be duplicated in anything else. To win the gold

82
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: in overtime against a team that quite frankly has favored

83
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 2: over you, a team known in their country for hockey,

84
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 2: you put the United States on your back. There are

85
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: so many things about the win. To have Goudreau's family

86
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: and kids on the ice afterwards, that moment was unbelievable.

87
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: The anniversary of their last gold medal forty six years

88
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: ago to the day of yesterday was insane, but it

89
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,480
Speaker 2: was I don't know, it was a moment that, quite frankly,

90
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 2: you're going to remember where you watched that game years

91
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 2: to come. I watched it with a group of family

92
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 2: and friends, and the game winner Austin felt like when

93
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: the Bengals won the AFC title, like it was that

94
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 2: type of joy and celebration. And again, it's awesome to

95
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: see those celebrations across the United States and a very

96
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: fitting way to end the Winter Olympics for the Team

97
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 2: USA in a year where they won their most gold

98
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 2: medals at a Winter Olympics.

99
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: Ever, twelve gold medals for the United States in these

100
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 3: Winter Olympics. But I think you're right, and not only

101
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: is it you beat this quote unquote rival country you

102
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: do it in their sport, fresh off of the four

103
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 3: Nations face off in the great you know hockey that

104
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 3: we saw in that around a year ago. And oh,

105
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 3: by the way, the women's team did the exact same

106
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 3: thing to the exact same country by the exact same

107
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 3: score to get a gold medal for them as well,

108
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: to kind of double up on the Canadian in that way.

109
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: It was just awesome.

110
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: And to see everybody coming together and the excitement, the

111
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: video coming from Brick Street in Oxford, which you know,

112
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: once upon a time Miami was a hockey school yor not,

113
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: maybe haven't been as successful in recent years, but you know,

114
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 3: to see all those people, all those kids up early,

115
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: beating the clock and beating the Canadians. And there's been

116
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: a lot of coping from the Canadians.

117
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Oh my god.

118
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of complaining, whether it's about three

119
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: on three or this or that or whatever, which is crazy.

120
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: They didn't they didn't complain about the three on three

121
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: in the quarterfinals.

122
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 3: It's tough when you had so many opportunities. I mean,

123
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody watches that game and thinks, oh,

124
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 3: Canada was not the better team. They definitely were the

125
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 3: better team yesterday. But they had three at least wide

126
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: open nets.

127
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 4: Ye.

128
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: One they just flat out missed. One was incredible save

129
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: by Connor Hellibuck, who was ridiculous in that entire tournamente

130
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 3: himself a hella buff he You sure did to have

131
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 3: so many opportunities for the Canadians that they didn't capitalize on. Yeah,

132
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 3: let's complain about three on the three. I don't know

133
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 3: if to complain because you had open.

134
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: By the way, was that was that a surprise rule

135
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 2: change or did teams know about that going into the Olympics.

136
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: They did know about it going into the Olympics.

137
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: Did Canada benefit from that earlier in the games? I

138
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 2: believe they did. Okay, Yeah, but yeah, when you lose

139
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 2: by it, by all means, let's complain about it. We'll talk,

140
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,080
Speaker 2: we'll put a cap on the Olympics. And I don't

141
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: think anyone could have put more of a profound cap

142
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 2: on the Olympics and Mike Tico's sign off. We'll get

143
00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: to some of that audio as we go this afternoon

144
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: as well. But a day to celebrate more than anything,

145
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 2: I think on on Sincy three sixty doing some celebration

146
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: yesterday again, in the NASCAR Cup Series in Atlanta. How

147
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: about back to back weeks for Tyler Reddick, back to

148
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 2: back weeks for Jordan winning in NASCAR.

149
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a fun when came down to the

150
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 3: final couple of laps they were in overtime in Atlanta

151
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 3: and Bubba Wallace, who was another twenty three to eleven

152
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: car was in the lead, got passed up and Tyler

153
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: Reddick was able to take advantage to go back to

154
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: back to start the NASCAR season.

155
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,960
Speaker 2: It is Monday, which means it's mock draft Monday. We'll

156
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: dive into that today again on the heels of the

157
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: NFL Combine, And as Austin has tabbed it, you've developed

158
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 2: stages of the offseason.

159
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 5: Yeah.

160
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 3: I came up with this one is complete. This morning

161
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: in the shower, I was thinking about NFL offseason stages.

162
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 3: We've completed stage one, which is post Super Bowl until

163
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 3: the start of the NFL scouting Combine. Stage one is complete.

164
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 3: There are five total stages. If you're wondering what's happening

165
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 3: today in Indianapolis, it is the registration, pre exam, orientation,

166
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: and team interviews for place kickers, defensive linemen, and linebackers.

167
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 3: Also arriving today. Early player arrivals, defensive backs and tight

168
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:05,599
Speaker 3: ends on field workouts will happen later.

169
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: In the week. It's here Stage two.

170
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 3: We'll also here from Duke Tobin and Zach Taylor this week. Okay,

171
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 3: still waiting on win exactly we'll hear from them, but

172
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 3: I expect us to have the audio on Wednesday.

173
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: About some other stuff from the Olympics, Lindsay Vaughn says

174
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 2: that the surgery she had immediately following her crash saved

175
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: her leg from amputation. Yeah, I believe it. Unbelievable, literally

176
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: almost lost her leg competing in the Olympics. We are

177
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: thirty one days away from opening day in Major League

178
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 2: Baseball for the Cincinnati Reds. We'll talk about that this afternoon.

179
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 2: And if the college basketball weekend wasn't good enough, we

180
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: are going to put a local spin on college basketball

181
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: today but also on Saturday. It was a fun slate

182
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 2: across the board. It saw the number one team in

183
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 2: the nation fall to the Duke Blue Devils and the

184
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: Edward Jones Capitol Showcase sixty eight to sixty three. It

185
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: also saw the Arizona Wildcats and the number four team

186
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 2: go on the road to take on the number two

187
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,119
Speaker 2: team in the country, the Houston Cougars Arizona got themselves

188
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 2: a road win as well. It sets up on the

189
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 2: heels Austin of what U see did to Kansas at

190
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 2: Fall Gallen field House. It sets up a massive Monday

191
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: because that same venue, the Fog, will host Houston versus

192
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: Kansas tonight. Here's what's at stake. Houston hasn't lost three

193
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 2: games in a row since twenty seventeen. Kelvin Samson's trying

194
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,360
Speaker 2: to be the first coach to win two games over

195
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 2: Bill Self at Fall Gallen field House, Kansas on Big

196
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 2: Monday under Bill soeuth at home is forty and oh.

197
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: They've not lost back to back games in Allen field

198
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,199
Speaker 2: House since nineteen eighty eight. Kansas is one thirty eight

199
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 2: and twenty four following a loss in the Bill Self era. Something,

200
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: as they say, Austin has got to give in college

201
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,439
Speaker 2: basketball tonight, that is going to be a fantastic, fantastic

202
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: game on the heels. I believe that one comes after

203
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 2: a Top twenty five matchup between Louisville and North Carolina

204
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:23,080
Speaker 2: as well Top twenty five action BYU at home beat

205
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: Iowa State over the weekend. And how about UCLA Mick

206
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: Cronin's bunch. They come from a huge deficit early on,

207
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 2: they get the game to overtime and Donovan Dent hit

208
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 2: a go ahead layup with one second remaining in overtime

209
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:43,439
Speaker 2: for UCLA to beat Illinois ninety five to ninety four.

210
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: What a fun weekend of college basketball. What a massive

211
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: week ahead of college basketball. Some huge opportunities. We'll talk

212
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: about the opportunity for Miami to continue their undefeated run.

213
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: We'll talk about what this week could mean for the

214
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bearcats. We'll get to all of that as well

215
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 2: as again, kind of put a complete rap on the

216
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 2: Olympic games as well. I'd be remissed as well, Austin

217
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 2: not to send best wishes to our guy Liam, whose

218
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: team in the Evendelle Rec League came up well short

219
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 2: yesterday in a uh I guess, a highly touted matchup.

220
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: I heard that you guys won, but I heard that

221
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 3: you didn't really have anything to do with it. Now

222
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 3: I heard that you performed extremely poorly.

223
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 2: Not a good shooting day. I realized that in the

224
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: second half, became more of a facilitator, more of a rebounder,

225
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: I let our guy you you used the term with

226
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 2: Maso last week mouse in the house. Yeah, it wasn't

227
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 2: a mouse in the house. Maso dominated yesterday. Just did

228
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 2: he dominate Liam anyone? I mean Mayso because.

229
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: My comment was specifically about the matchup between Liam and Mayso,

230
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: specifically about the size and everyone.

231
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 2: On their team. Maso lived in the paint yesterday. So

232
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 2: mouse in the house or not insane to watch? Speaking

233
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: of watching as well, right now, what's unfolding in Mexico

234
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: very scary right now in Mexico. The the World Cup

235
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: coming up is supposed to have matches in Mexico, correct,

236
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 2: And I believe I don't know all the details. I

237
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: know that a cartel leader was killed, and now the

238
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: cartel is wreaking havoc on Mexico and they're wondering, now

239
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 2: do you still plan on having the FIFA World Cup games.

240
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 2: I know that a couple high level soccer matches have

241
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: already been postponed in Mexico.

242
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 3: So well that you got that, the World Cup obviously

243
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: being a huge part of it. And also keep in mind,

244
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 3: just last week the NFL said they're going back to

245
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: Mexico City. True, and the forty nine ers are playing

246
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 3: a game now. Mexico City is a massive, massive city,

247
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: and that is several months down the line, but you

248
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,040
Speaker 3: have to wonder if some something like that could be

249
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 3: changed as well, because you don't really know what the

250
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 3: fallout is going to be, but it does feel like

251
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 3: sports in some way will be impacted by this, I

252
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: guess response to the death of one of the cartel leaders.

253
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 2: Scary stuff going on, for sure. Let's start by putting

254
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 2: a final bow on the Olympic Games when we come back.

255
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,280
Speaker 2: We'll end uh the Olympics next, and then we will

256
00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: dive into the college basketball weekend. That was in particular

257
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 2: for what the Miami RedHawks continue to doing with the

258
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Bearcats. We're able to do. That'll get us started

259
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 2: with your phone calls along the way five one, three, seven,

260

Speaker 6: Mad It's for Reski out Jack, you get out of

265

Speaker 6: space for numbers Captains Jacks Witchet the Golden Gold in

266
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 6: the Fitch States.

267
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 7: Had the first time since then Tenay bar gold in

268
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 7: the United States takes the goal.

269
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: Jack, you Sten, that is how it sounded. Yesterday's Team

270
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 2: USA captures the gold medal, beating Canada in overtime. Austin,

271
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: I agree. I thought that the I think the three

272
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: on three is exciting as heck.

273
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like it as a casual hockey fan.

274
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like it. And it's like, it's not like

275
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 2: US won the face off in their first possession they scored.

276
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 2: Canada had multiple opportunities in that overtime session to make

277
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: the most of it. They didn't. Team USA did live

278
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: with it. That's what happens. Unbelievable. Man. It closes out

279
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: the Olympic Games. And again, as we discussed earlier, USA

280
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 2: wins twelve gold medals. It's best tally ever in a

281
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 2: winner games, thirty three medals overall. That trailed only Norway

282
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: when all was said and Don Austin on the total

283
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: medal tracker forty one for Norway, eighteen gold medals, thirty

284
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 2: three total for the United States. Twelve gold medals. That

285
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: is the second best in all of the Winter Olympic Games.

286
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: They tied Norway as well with the most silver medals

287
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 2: at twelve and did finish with nine bronze medals as well.

288
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 2: So much good that happened kind of from the Olympic Games.

289
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: But what I wanted to do, Austin, I know you

290
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: were actually looking for this yesterday because it was very

291
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 2: powerful and hearing in the moment. But Mike Turco, who

292
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: we highlighted the beginning of the games, he called the

293
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 2: Super Bowl and then went over on the flight to

294
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 2: start covering the Olympics, and his coverage has been awesome.

295
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: But do we have the audio of Mike Rico and

296
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: his sign off.

297
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: We don't have the whole thing, but we do have

298
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 3: the last minute. A lot of people said that the

299
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 3: part that was kind of over the video was the best,

300
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: but the part that was on camera is what we

301
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: do have here is Mike Turco signing off in Milan.

302
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: Because of a drought that almost lasted a half century,

303
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 3: those teams are revered, they are held on to forever,

304
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 3: and what happened today doesn't take away from the greatness

305
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: of those teams or the meeting that those teams have

306
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 3: in US hockey. But what you saw today was the

307
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: build of a generation, inspired perhaps by that team that

308
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 3: lost in twenty ten in Vancouver to the Sydney crossby

309
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 3: golden goal in overtime, or the team where tj Oshian

310
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 3: all those shootout goals twenty fourteen. That's when these guys

311
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 3: were doing what you're doing. Watch it on TV, and

312
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 3: they were young and they were living the dream. So

313
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 3: for all the young people out there, not just the hockey,

314
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,159
Speaker 3: but all the Olympics you've watched, those dreams are formed.

315
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 3: Now go chase them and go get them. Because our

316
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 3: country loves sports and it brings us together unlike anything else.

317
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,719
Speaker 8: And if you didn't know that, if you haven't been

318
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 8: watching the last two weeks, you saw it in Tmusa

319
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 8: hockey winning the goal. Over there are travel Canada here

320
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 8: in Milan to wrap up these twenty fifth Olympic winner games.

321
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,159
Speaker 2: That part at the end about what sports can do

322
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: for us, and I think on the grandest level what

323
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 2: it can do for our country, but I think we

324
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 2: see it a lot here locally as well, what sports

325
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 2: can do locally, what it can do individually for all

326
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,880
Speaker 2: of us. I think it's what makes sports as special

327
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 2: as they are, that they literally can unite a whole

328
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 2: country in a way that nothing else can. I mean, Austin,

329
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: we have. You could argue that we've never been more

330
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 2: divided as a country with everything going on around it,

331
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 2: and yet yesterday, for that moment and that time, it

332
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: felt like the most unified the country has been in

333
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: quite some time. Yeah, and sports get to do that.

334
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 3: Funny enough, it immediately was fractured again because of the

335
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,320
Speaker 3: people celebrating in the postgame, because that's what we do,

336
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 3: is we fight. But it was fun to have everybody

337
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: seemingly on the in the country watching that game on

338
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 3: Sunday morning, and yeah, man, it was it was cool.

339
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 3: It's just it's fun to have everybody kind of on

340
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 3: the same page and rooting for the same thing, and

341
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 3: to have it go the way it went, specifically against

342
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: them and on as you mentioned, forty six years to

343
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 3: the day, the miracle on ice. And what I hope

344
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: we do is kind of parlay this into the spring

345
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 3: and summer, because we're like two weeks away from the

346
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 3: World World Baseball Classic happening, and you're gonna get some

347
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: of that patriotism back with the World Baseball Classic. Now

348
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 3: it's not the same stage as the Olympics, but then

349
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna parlay that into what we mentioned earlier the

350
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 3: World Cup, and there are expectations, legitimate expectations for the

351
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: United States men's national team. No one expects them to

352
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: win the World Cup, but they are expected to at

353
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 3: least advance in that tournament. So hopefully it can be

354
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: as we celebrate the two hundred and fiftieth year of

355
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 3: the United States of America, hopefully it can be something

356
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 3: where maybe we just don't lose because it's our two

357
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 3: hundred and fifty.

358
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 2: I saw something I don't know where it was from,

359
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 2: but it was a common along the lines of USA

360
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: hockey is where a lot of people years ago thought

361
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: USA soccer would be by now you know what I mean,

362
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:48,640
Speaker 2: Like that years ago, there was a lot of build

363
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: up around USA soccer like, Okay, they're close, they're gonna

364
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: take the baton, they're gonna start leading this and they

365
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 2: really haven't done so at the men's side. Women's have

366
00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,640
Speaker 2: and they've dominated, but the men haven't. And you think

367
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,719
Speaker 2: of this surge that USA hockey has been on, I

368
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: think a lot of people feel like that's where the

369
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 2: soccer program was going for Team USA. I do think

370
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: as well, I mentioned earlier, you mentioned Johnny Goudreau and

371
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 2: his brother Matthew, who died in twenty twenty four after

372
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: they were cycling in their hometown. They were killed by

373
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 2: a drunk driver in an suv. I thought it was

374
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: a really cool tribute that Team USA had Johnny Goudreau's

375
00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:33,439
Speaker 2: jersey on the ice after the game, they invited his

376
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 2: kids down with the team picture. That was a very

377
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,879
Speaker 2: cool moment as well, in honoring Johnny hockey as he

378
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 2: was known by many in the sport. But it was it.

379
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 2: I thought of it yesterday as you saw so many

380
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 2: videos online of Team USA and the parties and the

381
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 2: watch parties. It's very rare, Austin, Like I said, in

382
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: today's world where people all agree on something and where

383
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:07,399
Speaker 2: people all get together and celebrate or watch in a

384
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 2: way in which we're all unified. And that is on

385
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 2: the national level on display. But I also think as

386
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: Cincinnati sports fans in general like we see that as well, Austin.

387
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: That Super Bowl run the Bengals have the city was

388
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 2: on fire, right, you see that when you know the

389
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 2: Reds put together the type of run that we all

390
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: hope they're capable of, and what that does to the

391
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: city and galvanizing not just the city, but the businesses

392
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 2: in this city as well. And you see it on

393
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 2: a different level when you see in Xavier athletics or

394
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,360
Speaker 2: are playing at their peak and what f C Cincinnati

395
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 2: has done in the West End. We're lucky in a

396
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 2: sense that at least here for three hours daily, we

397
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 2: don't talk about the political side of things. We talk

398
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 2: about sports, and it's just cool to see and cool

399
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: to be reminded, as we were yesterday on how unifying

400
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 2: and exciting sports can be to bring people together. And

401
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 2: again in those moments yesterday, in those moments of celebrating,

402
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: you kind of get to step away. And I think

403
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 2: for so long people have used sports as a little

404
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 2: bit of a refuge. You know, there are times and

405
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 2: things in life that are hard, and I know people

406
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 2: go through a lot of things in life and everyone's

407
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 2: kind of at different stages, but for a lot of people,

408
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 2: there's refuge in watching a sporting event for however long

409
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: that event goes on, two hours, three hours, four hours,

410
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 2: where it kind of lightens the mental the load a

411
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 2: little bit and people are able to unwind a little bit.

412
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: And I know most of the time resort right back

413
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 2: to it afterwards, but from someone who enjoyed yesterday, from

414
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 2: someone who got to enjoy Saturday in the sense of

415
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 2: watching UC basketball do something that they haven't done since

416
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,919
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety. It's pretty cool moments over the course of

417
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: the weekend, and very gratifying and a constant reminder of

418
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:00,520
Speaker 2: really how lucky we are to get to talk about

419
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: sports every day right here from noon to three. When

420
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 2: we come back, let's do that with the college basketball

421
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 2: weekend that was. We'll talk about a big win for Miami,

422
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: a big win for the Bearcats, a tough loss for

423
00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: the Xavier Musketeers. You'll hear a little Patino, you'll hear

424
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 2: some Wes Miller, and we'll kind of paint the picture

425
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: of what's heading up this week. All still ahead, Cincy

Speaker 2: fifteen thirty. When you talk about the college basketball weekend

436
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 2: that was, you have to start on Friday night because

437
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 2: another test and another test passed by the Miami RedHawks

438
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 2: ninety one seventy seven winners over Bowling Green. They took

439
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 2: care of business in the first half with a forty

440
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,400
Speaker 2: five to thirty lead at the break. Never really let

441
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,040
Speaker 2: their foot off the pedal in a game. Austin again,

442
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: Malett Hall is rocking. It is a awesome environment. And

443
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: you see a guy like Miles Garrett showing up in attendance,

444
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: You've got to take note of what's happening right now

445
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: in Oxford, really really cool stuff. Miami improves to twenty

446
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: seven and zero on the season. They enter now this

447
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 2: week with two road trips at Eastern Michigan and Western

448
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 2: Michigan tomorrow and Friday. Next week, they'll take on Toledo

449
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: at home before finishing the seas on March sixth on

450
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: the road at Ohio University. So Miami continues to play

451
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 2: very good basketball against Bowling Green. It is it's kind

452
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: of just a who's who. They get points in so

453
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 2: many different ways from so many different players. Four more

454
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 2: RedHawks and double figures. Another ninety plus point out burst

455
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 2: and a really really fun team to watch are the

456
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 2: Miami RedHawks right now as they continue to march on

457
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: for their opportunity and an undefeated regular season. Other local

458
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 2: happenings in the college basketball world over the weekend, the

459
00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:46,359
Speaker 2: Louisville Cardinals took care of business pretty convincing fashion against

460
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech eighty seven to seventy. The Kentucky Wildcats lose

461
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 2: another heartbreak of a game, this time on the road

462
00:27:56,600 --> 00:28:01,560
Speaker 2: at Auburn. A last second shot lifts Auburn to a

463
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,439
Speaker 2: seventy five seventy four victory. It sends Kentucky now to

464
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 2: seventeen and ten overall. It also sends Kentucky to eight

465
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: and six, kind of smack dab in the middle of

466
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 2: the SEC standings. Kentucky still has games against South Carolina, Vanderbilt,

467
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 2: Texas A and M and Florida as they look to

468
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 2: try to get back on the right side of the

469
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 2: NCAA tournament bubble. Kentucky, as is seemingly everyone locally back

470
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 2: in action tomorrow night as well. Ohio State fell to

471
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: Michigan State on Sunday this week, and NKU they lose yesterday.

472
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 2: I had to like double check Austin on the score

473
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 2: at halftime. NK, you put up just fifteen points in

474
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 2: the first half, that's true. They then scored forty three

475
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 2: and actually did make it a game at some point

476
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 2: in the second half. But they end up falling sixty

477
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 2: four to fifty eight on the road at Youngstown State.

478
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 3: That's a tough one. Youngstown State behind them in the standings,

479
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,640
Speaker 3: just fourteen and fourteen overall going into that game, a

480
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 3: game that NKU should win and they didn't. Norse are

481
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 3: nine and nine now in the conference, seventeen and twelve.

482
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 2: Overall, two games remaining Wednesday at Cleveland State and then

483
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: the home finale on February twenty eighth against Wright State,

484
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: Dayton winners over Ducine on the weekend in Dayton. Austin

485
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 2: turns ahead to look to tomorrow night, where they host

486
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 2: eighteenth ranked Saint Louis at ud Arena. So a big

487
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 2: one at ud Arena tomorrow night as well. On the

488
00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: Xavier side of things, we don't have the audio at

489
00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: our disposal of any patino in the post game. But

490
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 2: for Xavier, another tough loss. Now losers of two in

491
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 2: a row, four of their last five, and seven of

492
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 2: their last eight now are the Xavier Musketeers. They are

493
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 2: tied with Georgetown in Providence from second to the bottom

494
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 2: in the Big East. Only Marquette, with one less win,

495
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 2: sits below them. They do play Georgetown and Providence on

496
00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 2: the rest of the way out. But a tough loss

497
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 2: on the road at Butler in a game or Xavier

498
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 2: did a I would say a good job in the

499
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 2: second half to make it a game. It got down

500
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 2: to a one point game late in the second half,

501
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: but Xavier built up too much of a deficit. It

502
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 2: felt like in the first half. They trailed forty seven

503
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: to twenty eight at the end of the first half.

504
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: It was a game in which Xavier never led, Butler

505
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 2: led by as many as twenty one In the game.

506
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: Xavier was outscored in the paint, Xavier was out rebounded,

507
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: and Butler seemingly outplayed Xavier in many statistical categories. Trey

508
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 2: Carroll again led the Xavier Musketeers with twenty four points.

509
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 2: Malik Messina Moore added twenty but they did not get

510
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 2: much else from the roster, as Xavier falls eighty to

511
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 2: seventy five at the hands of the Button Bulldogs. The

512
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: last game we'll talk about, obviously, and I will really

513
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: do my best not to be obnoxious with it. Is

514
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: what UC did to get their fourth straight. You can't win,

515
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 2: so I can't just just do it. Man. Listen, as

516
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 2: I told my wife on Saturday, because I was acting

517
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 2: irrationally after the game, I didn't really know what to do.

518
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:23,520
Speaker 2: I didn't know how to handle myself. I was shaking,

519
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 2: I was excited, I was pumped up, and as she

520
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:31,360
Speaker 2: tried to calm me down, I said, listen, nothing like

521
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: this has happened since nineteen ninety. It was legit the

522
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 2: first road win against a top ten ranked team that

523
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: the Bearcats have had since nineteen ninety. Kansas is dominant

524
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 2: at fall Gallon field House two seventy seven and nine.

525
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:55,200
Speaker 2: Two seventy seven and nine versus unranked opponents at Fall

526
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Gallon field House. That is uh, That's what the Bearcats

527
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: went up against. And not only did the Bearcats win,

528
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,920
Speaker 2: they won in convincing fashion and it was kind of

529
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 2: the typical. They played good for thirty minutes and you're like,

530
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: all right, do they have enough or is this all

531
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 2: gonna fall apart at the seams. It didn't. They excelled

532
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 2: in the last ten minutes. They led it to half.

533
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 2: They never wavered. It felt at times in the first

534
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 2: half like, all right, this feels like it's on the

535
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 2: border of unraveling. And Kansas never led in the game

536
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:34,720
Speaker 2: by more than four points. Gisel James only played a

537
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 2: few minutes in the second half because he was strapped

538
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,959
Speaker 2: with foul trouble. Since Here Harris only played nine minutes,

539
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 2: Tyler McKinley only played nine minutes. They only played eight

540
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 2: in the game, and of the eight that played, only

541
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 2: five players for the Bearcats played twenty more minutes in

542
00:32:54,640 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 2: the game. But the front court for U See was incredible.

543
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: Boba Miller set the tone early eighteen points, seven rebounds.

544
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 2: Mustapha Chom on his birthday twenty eight points and eight rebounds.

545
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 2: It was the first time that I felt like the

546
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: front court really dominated, and it was a Kansas defense.

547
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: They block shots, they give you all kinds of fits inside.

548
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 2: It's not like they're a bad defensive team, and it's

549
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: not like they're bigs. Can't play. You see took the

550
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 2: fight to Kansas, and what I liked most about the

551
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 2: game as it went on, you see played through their

552
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 2: bigs and Monts, Mustapha Cham and Boba Miller. When they

553
00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: had one on ones, they went after the basket and

554
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 2: when double teams came, they consistently found the right play,

555
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:50,160
Speaker 2: They found the right shooter. Dayde Thomas went scoreless in

556
00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 2: the first half. He had ten big points in the

557
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: second half. Jalen Celestine how about four threes including a

558
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: couple daggers on his way to fourteen points. Mentioned Gisel

559
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 2: James had foul trouble most of the game, only had

560
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 2: at five points. They got six points from Keyshawn Tillery.

561
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 2: But Celesteam Thomas, Chom Bobon Miller were awesome. It was

562
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:16,200
Speaker 2: a game I think people wondered, what's gonna happen with

563
00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:20,400
Speaker 2: Darren Peterson. Darren Peterson didn't play limited minutes. He played

564
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: thirty two minutes. He took seventeen shots, he had seventeen points.

565
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 2: I thought the Bearcats did a great job defensively on

566
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:31,960
Speaker 2: Darren Peterson. At times they went to a one to

567
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: three one to mix it up. I thought that was

568
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 2: a good change up. I thought they were locked in

569
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 2: defensively for most of the game. They allowed thirty four

570
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:42,080
Speaker 2: in each half. And again, look, I'm not oblivious to

571
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,520
Speaker 2: the fact that this team has dug themselves a very

572
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: bad hole. Losses to Eastern Michigan, the Xavier loss looms largs,

573
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 2: the Georgia loss. You could talk about that as well.

574
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 2: Any of the West Virginia games, the first UC. I mean,

575
00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 2: there's at Arizona State. There's a ton of game you

576
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: can look at and sayd that game just gone differently?

577
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,080
Speaker 2: Are those games just gone differently? Here's what we do

578
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 2: now with four games remaining, you see, it is at

579
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: seven and seven in the Big twelve fifteen and twelve overall.

580
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 2: They play a high quality opponent on March seventh on

581
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: the road at TCU, who's probably a tournament team. Outside

582
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 2: of that, they have two top twenty five matchups and

583
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 2: an Oklahoma State team coming into fifth third arena at

584
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,880
Speaker 2: Texas Tech without JT. Topp and Tomorrow night, and then

585
00:35:29,920 --> 00:35:36,240
Speaker 2: BYU comes in on March third. They've at least played

586
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 2: themselves into the conversation of if they can win these games,

587
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 2: then what which. Let's face it, when this team lost

588
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:50,640
Speaker 2: to West Virginia fifty nine to fifty four. Again a

589
00:35:50,719 --> 00:35:53,680
Speaker 2: game they scored fifty four points at home, twenty four

590
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,440
Speaker 2: in the second half. A game against West Virginia in

591
00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 2: which you see led by fourteen at one point. See

592
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:03,120
Speaker 2: lost that game and they fell to eleven and twelve overall,

593
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: and they felled a three and seven in the big twelve.

594
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 2: And that was the game in which Wes Miller got

595
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: very emotional in the post game. That was when Wes

596
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 2: Miller confronted a fan in the lobby in the postgame.

597
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:18,720
Speaker 2: Every reason to fall apart this team had at that moment.

598
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: Then they beat a tournament team in UCF. They took

599
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,439
Speaker 2: care of Kansas State in the way that Jerome Tang

600
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: ended up losing his job. They won a game against

601
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,799
Speaker 2: Utah that they hadn't won much of. When they were

602
00:36:29,800 --> 00:36:32,600
Speaker 2: down five late, they found a way to win. And

603
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: then they put together easily the most impressive win of

604
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 2: the West Miller era on the road at Kansas eighty

605
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,239
Speaker 2: four to sixty eight. I don't know what's going to

606
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: happen tomorrow night. I know Texas Tech is without topping.

607
00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 2: I know Texas Tech scored one hundred in their game,

608
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:49,120
Speaker 2: their first game without topping. So they're certainly played in

609
00:36:49,160 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: a different level. But so is the Bearcats. And I'm

610
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 2: not there yet. But if you see beats Texas Tech

611
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, we're gonna have the conversation on Wednesday about

612
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:04,960
Speaker 2: the NCAA tournament. We're not there yet, but there will

613
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:06,799
Speaker 2: be a conversation Wednesday. If they can win and I

614
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,399
Speaker 2: don't even necessarily think they have to win at Texas Tech.

615
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 2: If they win three of the next four and at

616
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 2: Texas Tech is their only loss, then I think you're

617
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: at least in the conversation of what do you have

618
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 2: to do in the Big twelve tournament to have a chance.

619
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,359
Speaker 2: And again, after they scored fifty four points and lost

620
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,720
Speaker 2: a fourteen point lead against West Virginia, no one thought

621
00:37:28,760 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 2: anything like this possible. I credit the players, and you

622
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 2: got to give credit where credit is due. I credit

623
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: Wes Miller for getting these guys turned around and truly

624
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: right now believing in what they're doing. In those four games,

625
00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 2: only sixty nine points against Utah, the other three ninety two,

626
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 2: ninety one, and eighty four, they are playing at a

627
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,239
Speaker 2: different level with a different confidence. Do we have some

628
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 2: Wes Miller after Saturday's win against Kansas.

629
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 9: Please listen, this is a a great moment for our program,

630
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,640
Speaker 9: and I feel an incredible amount of amount of joy

631
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 9: for our players. They've been and I've been saying this,

632
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 9: it's not just because we had a good night.

633
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 10: They've been so resilient.

634
00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 9: They've had a great attitude. They keep trying to figure

635
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 9: it out. It has not been easy for us all year.

636
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 9: We've been dealing with all kinds of personnel stuff, injury, sicknesses.

637
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 10: You know, Gisel wasn't with us there for a big

638
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:25,279
Speaker 10: part of the year.

639
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 9: So to to win a game in a place like this,

640
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:31,680
Speaker 9: against a team like this, I just feel a ton

641
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,360
Speaker 9: of joy.

642
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 2: For our players that they get to feel that reward.

643
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 9: How About how about our front court tonight. I mean,

644
00:38:39,160 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 9: it's moosed off his birthday. That's one heck of a

645
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 9: birthday present. We all got to feel like it was

646
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 9: our birthday tonight with him getting I mean I didn't

647
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,200
Speaker 9: know he had twenty eight. I knew he was playing great,

648
00:38:48,840 --> 00:38:53,600
Speaker 9: but I thought, uh, he was terrific, not just scoring

649
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 9: the ball or stretching it to three, but you know,

650
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 9: being a force in the paint and some of the

651
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 9: rebounds laid I thought Baba was and the way those

652
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 9: two played off of each other was special.

653
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 2: Boba really set.

654
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 10: A tone for us early. It was hard to score early,

655
00:39:07,080 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 10: and he made a couple of really tough plays over

656
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:10,560
Speaker 10: the top to kind of settle us in.

657
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 11: Uh.

658
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 2: And then Keish.

659
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,720
Speaker 9: You know, I could talk about all of our guys,

660
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 9: but keischan Tillery in the extended minutes as a freshman.

661
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 9: We didn't even bring Gisel back because he was he

662
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:21,840
Speaker 9: was playing so well.

663
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 10: So and a great night for us.

664
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 9: Uh.

665
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 10: We'll try to enjoy it till midnight. And then this

666
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 10: is the Big twelve. It doesn't get any easier.

667
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 9: We were on the road in a couple of days,

668
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 9: so we got to turn the page and get ready

669
00:39:32,960 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 9: for the next one.

670
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,800
Speaker 2: All right. So that is uh, that is Wes Miller

671
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 2: after the game. And again it's not him standing up

672
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 2: there labeling. It's just as every team does at different

673
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 2: stages of the season and and and everyone goes to

674
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 2: it and you're certainly you're seeing it. The team they played,

675
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 2: Texas Tech, is a I'm sure they think a national

676
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 2: championship contender, and they lose one of the best players

677
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 2: in the Nation and JT toppin the BYU Cougars lose

678
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: Richie Saunders. So yes, everyone goes through injuries, everyone goes

679
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: through up and downs. Everyone has distractions on and off

680
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 2: the court. I'm simply giving credit where credit is due

681
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,480
Speaker 2: that it felt like it was going to completely unravel,

682
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 2: and they have pulled off four victories in a row.

683
00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,760
Speaker 2: They went most of the season without a true road wind.

684
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 2: They got one at Kansas State, and then they get

685
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 2: their second one at Kansas I don't know the ins

686
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 2: and outs of the wise. I just know that they

687
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 2: are playing better. They have not rolled over on their coach.

688
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:31,560
Speaker 2: That is clear as day. They are scratching and calling

689
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: and fighting for their head coach. And because they won Saturday,

690
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 2: they at least keep the door cracked on what they

691
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 2: could do to make a run here at the end

692
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 2: of the year. Let's take a break. When we come back,

693
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 2: we'll put a bowl on our number one. We'll look

694
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 2: ahead to our number two. We've got red spring training,

695
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 2: We've got the NFL Combine to look ahead to, We've

696
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,800
Speaker 2: got mock draft Monday talkbacks in so much more. Between

704
00:41:34,680 --> 00:41:37,799
Speaker 2: Red Spring Training. Two Cactus League games in what we

705
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 2: like and what we dislike so far, very very early

706
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:47,560
Speaker 2: in Red Spring Training. Baseball NFL Combine happens this week.

707
00:41:47,600 --> 00:41:51,120
Speaker 2: In fact, Austin, you gave me this this schedule, and

708
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 2: it's actually color coded, which helps me in a lot

709
00:41:53,719 --> 00:42:00,840
Speaker 2: of ways. Today pre registration exams, orientation and team interviews

710
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:04,439
Speaker 2: for kickers, d linemen and linebackers.

711
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,280
Speaker 3: Also, what do you want to do our our yearly

712
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: segment of your combine memories? I think maybe tomorrow. No,

713
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 3: I think that's Wednesday.

714
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: I think Wednesday, okay, because that is when the running backs, quarterbacks,

715
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 2: and wide outs will start their team interviews.

716
00:42:21,719 --> 00:42:23,880
Speaker 3: Let me just ask you this, because you know we

717
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,840
Speaker 3: were texting a little bit with with James Rapeene. This morning,

718
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,000
Speaker 3: and I know that that one of the things they

719
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 3: do is the bench press. Yeah, and I actually got

720
00:42:33,120 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 3: to see this live at the Combine one year. I

721
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: got to watch linebackers bench press yeah in person. Pretty amazing.

722
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,799
Speaker 3: The what they put on there is two twenty five, Yes,

723
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,879
Speaker 3: that's two plates. How many reps did you get?

724
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 2: I didn't. I didn't. I didn't bench at the Combine. Well,

725
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: my highest ever, I think twenty five was seven. I

726
00:42:53,920 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 2: think I did it seven times. It was one of

727
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,880
Speaker 2: those things that it's like, unless you're gonna like wow

728
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 2: people with it, just don't do it. That's kind of

729
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,640
Speaker 2: what I was told now, And you weren't going to

730
00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 2: be wow at anybody. No, Okay. Now, what I was

731
00:43:08,280 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 2: under the impression of, you know, at my time at

732
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 2: the University of Cincinnati with the great Paul Longo, is

733
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: that as a quarterback, you're not lifting for one rep

734
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 2: max reps. You want to build functional, explosive strength. Is

735
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 2: what Paul Longo would teach. Avoid heavy traditional lifts and

736
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: focus on strength and repetition. That's what we were told,

737
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:36,359
Speaker 2: so we prioritized lag and core And what I did now,

738
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 2: I couldn't bench much. I could power clean with the

739
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: best of them. Okay, I took pride in my power

740
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:44,720
Speaker 2: clean Yeah, we did. I remember a lot of power cleaning.

741
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:45,160
Speaker 2: That's right.

742
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,360
Speaker 3: Do you do you know what your max bench press

743
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:50,120
Speaker 3: was for one rep?

744
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't, but I had remember. But you

745
00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: choose not to shore. I got seven times. That was

746
00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:00,520
Speaker 2: my That was that was my peak. I respect.

747
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,840
Speaker 3: That was this the same You got the same advice

748
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 3: from the agent that said the Bengals were going to

749
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 3: draft you, the guy that told you.

750
00:44:08,040 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: That's a that's ay. Yeah, so we'll see how that went.

751
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 3: We got to revisit that story as well, because that's

752
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 3: my favorite.

753
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 2: We have plenty of time this week to do so

754
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 2: we'll do that around the draft speaking as well, before

755
00:44:20,719 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 2: we get the break of training. I uh, last last week,

756
00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,440
Speaker 2: on like Tuesday, Mayor was like, Hey, I'm going to

757
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 2: get a sitter. We're going to go on a date

758
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 2: night on Friday. Oh, which to me red flag immediately

759
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: because Friday is usually like I try to get the

760
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,120
Speaker 2: kids out of the house and give her time to recoup.

761
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 2: And so I'm like, well, why would she pick Friday night?

762
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 2: And you know, she said, I can dress casually and

763
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:48,400
Speaker 2: what are we doing. Come to find out, she took

764
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 2: me to her this bar class she's been doing. Let

765
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: me tell you what, And this is the god honest truth.

766
00:44:56,200 --> 00:44:59,239
Speaker 2: We were about ten minutes into the class and I

767
00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: was gassed, and the instructor said, all right, last set

768
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:11,600
Speaker 2: of warm ups, and I legit. I looked at Maya

769
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: and I about walked out of the class. Yeah, because

770
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:15,799
Speaker 2: going there, I said, you know.

771
00:45:15,800 --> 00:45:16,919
Speaker 3: This is this is bar.

772
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just a bar. I told us, like, there

773
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: are essentially like two or three exercises I despise. I

774
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 2: hate planks. I hate wall sits because wall sets, like

775
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,279
Speaker 2: we used to do wall sets on Friday morning lifts

776
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: when I was at UC where we would do wall sets,

777
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 2: put a plate on our on our legs and the

778
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: coaches would just walk up and down the room on

779
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 2: the plates. I hated wall sits and I hate purpies.

780
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:41,399
Speaker 2: We did all three within like the first twenty minutes

781
00:45:41,400 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: of this year. Really, yes, interesting, I mean.

782
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 3: Because I googled what exactly bar is and this says

783
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:53,800
Speaker 3: it's a low impact, high intensity fitness method inspired by ballet,

784
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:59,240
Speaker 3: pilates and yoga that uses a stationary handrail to perform

785
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 3: small isometric movements.

786
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,239
Speaker 2: Is that what you experienced? No? Oh no, we were

787
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:08,759
Speaker 2: doing squats. We were doing we did planks, we did burpies,

788
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,320
Speaker 2: we did wall sits. I've never met somebody who likes burpies.

789
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:14,520
Speaker 2: It was are there are people in that class that

790
00:46:14,600 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 2: like them? Really? Oh God, they're slapping the floor, they're excited.

791
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 3: It's all. It's all mental. It's always has me.

792
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:28,400
Speaker 2: I'll say this. I respect the bar circuit. I respect

793
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,279
Speaker 2: completely different than what I was going into it.

794
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,760
Speaker 3: Have you ever done pilates? No, it's it's you.

795
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 2: You just awakened muscles you didn't even know needed to

796
00:46:41,320 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 2: be awakened, like we were doing like we ended up

797
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 2: doing like shoulder stuff. And of course, like you get

798
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:48,440
Speaker 2: in there, you're like, why are you using the eight

799
00:46:48,480 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: pound weights? I'm gonna get these fifteens? No, fifteen's a lot. Yeah,

800
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,919
Speaker 2: and then you're you're panicking that way. It's just it.

801
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,920
Speaker 2: It was. It was bad all around.

802
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:00,759
Speaker 3: I was trying to at you, but I.

803
00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 2: Was trying to do like the shoulder stuff, and we

804
00:47:02,120 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 2: were doing like you had to do like a split squad,

805
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 2: and I couldn't even I wasn't focused on my upper

806
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,239
Speaker 2: body because my leg was shaking so much just from

807
00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 2: the warm up.

808
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,799
Speaker 3: When's the last time, like you went through a full body.

809
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,239
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell you. Like working out to me right

810
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 2: now is body weight and running to play basketball.

811
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 3: I had a similar experience one time at the YMCA

812
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 3: and Cydney. My friends were like, hey, we're taking a

813
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 3: kickboxing class and I was like, oh, that sounds cool.

814
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: I thought we were going to be kickboxing.

815
00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 2: No.

816
00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 3: No, we were running and burpies and sit ups and

817
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:39,760
Speaker 3: like occasionally we'd like hit the bag and I was dying.

818
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 2: Now I think I threw up. Well yeah, it was like,

819
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,880
Speaker 2: you know, here's the bar, we're gonna do some you know,

820
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. I thought it was more like stretching

821
00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 2: yoga type. It was not. There are muscles that I

822
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 2: have been activated that are hurting me today that I

823
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 2: didn't know I had in my body. And when the

824
00:47:57,200 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 2: class was Friday, yeah, and you know, like Saturday, you

825
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:05,000
Speaker 2: felt rough. I woke up sundown like this is bad,

826
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 2: this is not good. But uh, kudos kudos to the

827
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 2: folks that do that on a daily or or multiple

828
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:15,480
Speaker 2: times a week.

829
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 3: Basis maybe something you should look into. Yeah, you know,

830
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 3: the time and the kids and all that. I just

831
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 3: don't well, I just mean, like any sort of workouts.

832
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: That's true. That's true. Eventually, I'm gonna get that code

833
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:27,799
Speaker 2: for downstairs and do some workouts down there.

834
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 3: I'll give you mine, all right me. Actually, no, it's free.

835
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 3: You should do it yourself.

836
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 2: Let's take a break, man, I gotta go walk a

837
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 2: couple laps. Get the blood flowing. Whendn't we come back.

838
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 2: Let's talk about what happened in Arizona over the weekend. Yes,

849
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 2: off today, they returned to action in Cactus League play

850
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,520
Speaker 2: tomorrow against the Kansas City Royals. We do have two

851
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 2: games to discuss that happened over the course of the weekend, Austin,

852
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 2: Let's start with the spring training opener, the debut of

853
00:49:40,239 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 2: the red spring training and it was started by Chase Burns.

854
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:50,640
Speaker 2: Two innings, two strikeouts, no hits. But I think, Austin,

855
00:49:50,680 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 2: as we discussed earlier, a theme of at least two

856
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 2: games of spring training, some control issues for not just

857
00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 2: Chase Burns, but for the Reds pitching staff as a whole.

858
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 2: Chase Burns did walk three batters in that debut.

859
00:50:02,280 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, and burn said afterwards he felt some jitters. He

860
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 3: was a little bit nervous and because of that was

861
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,920
Speaker 3: struggling a little bit to locate his pitches. And you

862
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 3: could obviously tell there, but still just as nasty. He

863
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 3: says that change up is a lot better than what

864
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:19,239
Speaker 3: it was a year ago. If you remember, he kind

865
00:50:19,239 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 3: of put the development of that pitch on hold to

866
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,359
Speaker 3: come up to the big leagues and use what had

867
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,879
Speaker 3: gotten him to that point. And he's worked a lot

868
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 3: on that change up and it appears to be exactly

869
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 3: what he's looking for and looked pretty good on Saturday.

870
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,200
Speaker 2: Rett Louder did give up one run over two innings.

871
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,359
Speaker 2: He did strike out four, walked one, gave up two

872
00:50:41,400 --> 00:50:45,520
Speaker 2: hits and one on run. The Reds and their scoring

873
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 2: came courtesy of Willie Beamon Will Benson in the top

874
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 2: of the third, a three hundred and ninety foot blast.

875
00:50:54,840 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 2: Edwin Royo scored on the play. Will Benson had himself

876
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,879
Speaker 2: a nice start to his spring training with a two

877
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 2: run home run.

878
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:06,280
Speaker 3: Spring training a regular season, It doesn't matter. Will Benson

879
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:11,840
Speaker 3: owns the Cleveland Guardians, Willie Bahmon his former club. He

880
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 3: just I mean that thing was one hundred and eight

881
00:51:13,640 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: off the bat. No doubter admired his work. Good for him.

882
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:21,880
Speaker 2: Tyler Stevenson collected a hit in the game, but not

883
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:24,080
Speaker 2: much else for the Reds, who were held to just

884
00:51:24,200 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 2: four hits. Edwin Arroyo had one, Blake Dunn had one.

885
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,840
Speaker 2: We talked about the Benson home run and the Tyler

886
00:51:31,040 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 2: Stevenson hit as well anything else from the start of

887
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 2: spring training. The four to two loss.

888
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:38,320
Speaker 3: Not that wins and losses matter at all to the

889
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 3: Cleveland Guardians. I think the big thing is Blake done.

890
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 3: You just mentioned his name. He was one of the

891
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:46,359
Speaker 3: guys that got a hit and was able to play

892
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 3: a little bit of center field. Dan Myers also played

893
00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:52,680
Speaker 3: in that game. Blake Dunn has tweaked his stance. He

894
00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 3: is one of the fastest players in the organization. He

895
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 3: can play center field, He's a right handed bat and

896
00:51:59,560 --> 00:52:02,600
Speaker 3: after he was sent down and went to Triple A

897
00:52:02,760 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 3: last year, the second half of the season he was fantastic.

898
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,560
Speaker 3: There has been a change in Blake Dunn's approach at

899
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 3: the plate that could make him a dark horse candidate

900
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 3: to make this team. A lot of people have kind

901
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 3: of just given it to Dan Myers because of his history,

902
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 3: his experience, and his ability to hit left handers. Blake

903
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:27,360
Speaker 3: Done may have something to say about that very early.

904
00:52:27,400 --> 00:52:29,760
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying one hit in one game means anything,

905
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:33,440
Speaker 3: but he's a guy that has raised some eyebrows for

906
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 3: the Reds over the last couple of months.

907
00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 2: I think the control thing is obviously something you work

908
00:52:38,840 --> 00:52:41,680
Speaker 2: through in spring training. Guardians pitching walked five batters, the

909
00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: Reds pitching walks seven. That's going to happen. What's your

910
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,319
Speaker 2: panic meter right now? In Suarez who went over three

911
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:50,640
Speaker 2: on his debut, I don't have any panics. I don't

912
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,799
Speaker 2: have any panic yet. I would hope that he'll get

913
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 2: it figured out. In the World Baseball Classic. I'll tell

914
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 2: you where to go. I'll tell you what I like

915
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,960
Speaker 2: to see, because you think of Game one in spring training,

916
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 2: all the build up. I thought it was impressive to

917
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: see south Stewart walk twice.

918
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, and one of those was a challenge. Yep, that

919
00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 3: was clearly not a strike. That was called a strike,

920
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 3: and he without hesitation challenged it and got it right

921
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:14,959
Speaker 3: and got on base.

922
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 2: Much more offense on display in the Red second spring

923
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 2: training game, albeit a fourteen eight loss to the Seattle Mariners.

924
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 2: This to me wasn't as much about the pitching as

925
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 2: we'll talk about everything else, but some of the highlights

926
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,840
Speaker 2: from what the pitchers were able to do. Ten walks

927
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 2: spread out around Red starters in the game. Graham Ashcraft

928
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: struck out a couple of batters. Connor Phillips is a

929
00:53:39,440 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 2: guy we're gonna I think keep an eye on. He

930
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 2: struggled in his debut two thirds of an inning and

931
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,920
Speaker 2: two hits, three earned runs for Connor Phillips. It was

932
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 2: very nice, I thought, though Austin, to see tj Antone

933
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: pitch a perfect inning with a strikeout and no.

934
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,279
Speaker 3: Hitch or no walks and took down cal Rawley in

935
00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: the process. The big dumper Dumper took a couple of

936
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 3: whiffs at the hands of TJ and Tone, which was

937
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,280
Speaker 3: cool to see. But I thought it was also interesting.

938
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 3: You know, you mentioned offensively they were much better. Twelve

939
00:54:08,680 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 3: total hits in that game for the Reds, and the

940
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 3: top of the lineup was Friedel, McClain, De la Cruz

941
00:54:15,760 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 3: and Suarez. Now I'm not getting all up in arms

942
00:54:19,080 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 3: about spring training lineups. I'm not don't do it, but

943
00:54:24,120 --> 00:54:28,279
Speaker 3: we've talked about if everything worked out perfectly, it would

944
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:31,360
Speaker 3: be Matt McClain batting second. That would be in an

945
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 3: ideal world. Well, Matt McClain yesterday two hits, two RBI

946
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:39,799
Speaker 3: looked really good at the play. He also put long

947
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 3: pants on. This is a new development for Matt McClain.

948
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:45,719
Speaker 3: You want to look at the saber metrics, you want

949
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:50,359
Speaker 3: to look at the advanced data. Matt McClain, long pants guy. Now,

950
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,360
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, I think Matt McClain is the

951
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 3: most important player in camp. He can take this Reds

952
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 3: offense to that next level. Everybody wants to talk about

953
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 3: some war and you should and the power, no doubt

954
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:06,120
Speaker 3: about it. But a consistent Matt McClain can take this

955
00:55:06,200 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 3: offense to the next level that that can take this

956
00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 3: team to an NL Central title. He's the most important

957
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,439
Speaker 3: player in camp in my opinion, and it was really

958
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:18,560
Speaker 3: good to see him get started with two hits yesterday. Now,

959
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 3: he hit really well in spring training last year, to

960
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 3: the point where I placed a wager on Matt McCain

961
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 3: to win the NL m VP. Great great value. So

962
00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 3: I just think it's a really good and important start

963
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 3: for him. Man to see Ellie have a couple of doubles, This.

964
00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: Is to me the hardest part about spring training because

965
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:36,560
Speaker 2: it goes on for so long that you don't try

966
00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:40,239
Speaker 2: to overreact good or bad from one spring training game.

967
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,319
Speaker 2: But like, how can you not look and say, oh,

968
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:48,280
Speaker 2: JJ blede, Matt McClain, Elie de la Cruz couple doubles,

969
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:52,960
Speaker 2: TJ friedel you know, got himself a hit and two

970
00:55:53,040 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 2: RBIs what Matt McClean like. It's just hard to it's

971
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 2: it's hard to fight from doing that. It really is.

972
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 2: So again, you look at where Bloodey was down in

973
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 2: the lineup two for three on the day. Was it

974
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,719
Speaker 2: Charlie that brought up rees Hines last week?

975
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 3: I was gonna say that's another name you can throw

976
00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:15,360
Speaker 3: throw out there. Two hits for Resigns as well man

977
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: and apparently the point of emphasis for him has been

978
00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:23,879
Speaker 3: two things, defense and plate discipline. Now, defensively, he looks

979
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 3: really good, and the Reds posted some videos of them

980
00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,360
Speaker 3: working on catches up against the wall and stuff, and

981
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 3: you can really start to see the athleticism of Reshigns

982
00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 3: when you see some of those videos. But his issue

983
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 3: once he's gotten the big leagues every time has been

984
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 3: that down and away slider just kind of darts away

985
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 3: from a right handed hitter, and he's not been able

986
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,960
Speaker 3: to lay off of that. Plate discipline a point of

987
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 3: emphasis for reshigins if that can turn into a strength

988
00:56:46,880 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 3: for him. The Rets have a really interesting outfield.

989
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:55,760
Speaker 2: Yep, and maybe some battles that we did not expect

990
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: to see. Yeah, for the Reds that could come forward.

991
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,800
Speaker 2: So again, it was a day in which Red's pitching

992
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:06,400
Speaker 2: walked ten batters. I thought it was interesting. And you

993
00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:09,960
Speaker 2: talk about pitching Mariners pitching yesterday, I know it's just

994
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 2: a preseason, just spring training. They didn't walk one battery yesterday,

995
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 2: which I think is extremely rare.

996
00:57:16,040 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 3: The Mariners when you talk about spring training, the Mariners

997
00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:24,880
Speaker 3: have a reputation for just developing pitchers and rehabbing pitchers

998
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 3: and turning them into So you might remember Luke Weaver

999
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: went to the Mariners and revived his career. They're like

1000
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 3: the Kevin O'Connell of pitching out there is your quarterback.

1001
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 3: You go over there to Kevin O'Connell or Kyle Shanahan

1002
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: and they'll fix your career. I feel like that's kind

1003
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:41,880
Speaker 3: of the reputation that the Brewer that the Mariners have

1004
00:57:41,960 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 3: a little bit. But I think the most interesting ones

1005
00:57:44,440 --> 00:57:47,919
Speaker 3: on there Graham Ashcraft. He came out struck out two.

1006
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,120
Speaker 3: He did what he always does, though, which is walk

1007
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:53,120
Speaker 3: the first guy he faces. I wanted to tweet about that,

1008
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,400
Speaker 3: but I knew people would be all over me for

1009
00:57:55,440 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 3: a spring training tweet. I love Graham Ashcraft, really liked

1010
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:01,360
Speaker 3: the guy. I need him to stop walking the first

1011
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 3: batter he faces. That's something to work on in spring training.

1012
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: And you mentioned he didn't walk one in his first

1013
00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 2: down and against the Guardians he didn't pitch though. Now

1014
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 2: he didn't pitch.

1015
00:58:09,320 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, so literally the first batter he's facing October, he

1016
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 3: walked Zach Maxwell, big sugar, big struggle. Luis May same

1017
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 3: with him. But these were the issues with these two

1018
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 3: guys last year as well, and eventually they pitched pretty

1019
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:25,320
Speaker 3: well for the Reds.

1020
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 2: So early, early, early.

1021
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say early returns shout out TJ Friedel too.

1022
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: Just like that guy. It's almost like you just know

1023
00:58:33,840 --> 00:58:35,840
Speaker 2: what you have, Like that's a luxury to have, Like

1024
00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 2: you kind of don't worry as much about spring training

1025
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 2: because you know what you have in Friedel mm hm,

1026
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,560
Speaker 2: Like McLean, you got to see something, Ellie, you want

1027
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:48,000
Speaker 2: to see something mentioned before, Like I'm not worried about Suarez.

1028
00:58:48,240 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 2: He's a veteran. You kind of know what he is.

1029
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 2: What do you make of like like how how much

1030
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: weight do you put on? Like Spencer Steer spring. Yeah.

1031
00:58:55,760 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 3: I was about to bring him up because Charlie wrote

1032
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 3: about him this week and Spencer is just kind of

1033
00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 3: going through all this. He feels like he has to

1034
00:59:03,560 --> 00:59:07,360
Speaker 3: prove himself again as a left fielder, as a second baseman.

1035
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:09,520
Speaker 3: He wants to be the backup second baseman, which we've

1036
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 3: talked about that role a lot and I feel like

1037
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:16,680
Speaker 3: what we're seeing is also a development of Spencer Steer

1038
00:59:16,760 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 3: and TJ. Friedo, as Charlie wrote, together as leaders of

1039
00:59:21,560 --> 00:59:23,880
Speaker 3: this team, the guys that have been around longer than

1040
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:26,920
Speaker 3: mostly everybody else, and guys kind of looking up to

1041
00:59:26,960 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 3: them about the way they work, about the effort that

1042
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:33,240
Speaker 3: they put in, and Steer being that guy who's training

1043
00:59:33,280 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 3: at first base, second base, left field, right field, doing

1044
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 3: all sorts of stuff every single day. I think TJ.

1045
00:59:39,600 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 3: Friedel described him as as busy, the busiest guy on

1046
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 3: the field, So I think with him knowing that he's

1047
00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,160
Speaker 3: healthy is the most important thing. Guys hit twenty homers

1048
00:59:50,200 --> 00:59:52,120
Speaker 3: each of the last three years. I feel like he'll

1049
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:53,840
Speaker 3: figure it out even if he starts slow.

1050
00:59:55,600 --> 00:59:59,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I fight it every year. I literally fight it

1051
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 2: every year on how much to under or overreact to

1052
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 2: a spring training games.

1053
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 3: It's yeah, and it's also hard because you can't see

1054
01:00:06,480 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 3: it right. You watch maybe five out of the thirty

1055
01:00:10,320 --> 01:00:12,720
Speaker 3: games that they play, so it's hard to put a

1056
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 3: finger on exactly what is different or what guys are

1057
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 3: working on. And you never know based off the pitcher

1058
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,600
Speaker 3: they're pitching they're going up against. Is this guy trying

1059
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,520
Speaker 3: to make the club and he's throwing his best stuff?

1060
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,560
Speaker 3: Is it a veteran who's working on a certain pitch

1061
01:00:26,640 --> 01:00:29,320
Speaker 3: and all this other? So, by the way, Hunter Green

1062
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 3: added a new pitch, a two seam fastball. So that'll

1063
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 3: be interesting to see Hunter through a simulated game yesterday.

1064
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 3: I believe he is going to start the game Friday

1065
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,280
Speaker 3: for the Reds. Andrew Abbott I believe is going to

1066
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 3: pitch tomorrow Nicolodolo Wednesday.

1067
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 2: It is thirty one days from first pitch at Great

1068
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 2: American Ballpark on opening Day? Has there ever been a

1069
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 2: more prominent Red to wear number thirty one than the

1070
01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 2: great Johnny Goums? Yes?

1071
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 3: Probably many, who.

1072
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:04,680
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1073
01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,840
Speaker 3: I'm sure there's not the big pasta, I mean big pasta.

1074
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:11,160
Speaker 3: He's up there. How could he not be?

1075
01:01:11,320 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 2: What about the nineteen thirty seven version of Johnny Vandermere I.

1076
01:01:14,520 --> 01:01:16,320
Speaker 3: Was gonna say, I mean back to back no hitters

1077
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: for Johnny Vandermer, Jim O'Toole. Who could forget John Franco?

1078
01:01:21,720 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 3: Now that dude's a beast.

1079
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 2: What about the year Mike Miner gave him?

1080
01:01:24,920 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that exact guy exists.

1081
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:31,720

1091
01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:08,960

1097
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 2: Now there's a Matt Belisle. There's a name here that

1100
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:40,240
Speaker 3: I know the Reds were Who is that halfway decent

1101
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:41,800
Speaker 3: in two thousand and four.

1102
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:45,400

1104
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:49,720
Speaker 2: He played three games for the Reds and oh four

1105
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:53,080
Speaker 2: all right, one and one with the four to seven.

1106
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 2: He was a picture.

1107
01:02:54,280 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, Junk Bong, all right, shout out to Jung.

1108
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:02,520
Speaker 3: Now it's either Jung or Young Jung Bong. Jason Marque

1109
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:03,360
Speaker 3: as well.

1110
01:03:03,720 --> 01:03:04,360
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

1111
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 3: You might remember him from many years with the now

1112
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 3: Cardinals and Braves.

1113
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 2: Let's just be honest about this. Do we even need

1114
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:16,080
Speaker 2: to do one of these tomorrow? For number thirty? I mean,

1115
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 2: it's Tyler Mawley. Stop man, you want to talk? Do

1116
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: you want to talk about pissing the up man off?

1117
01:03:24,800 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 2: That would be the way.

1118
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:29,840
Speaker 3: There actually are some really interesting ones like Travis Wood

1119
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 3: I think he almost threw a perfect game at Wrigley

1120
01:03:32,120 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 3: Field once against the Cubs. Norris Hopper, who I have

1121
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:40,320
Speaker 3: a memory seared into my mind of listening to a

1122
01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:42,120
Speaker 3: Reds game on the radio. I think the Reds were

1123
01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,680
Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh and Norris Hopper dove for a ball in

1124
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 3: center field and tourist Rotator Cuff. That's one of those random,

1125
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 3: you know, memories in Red's history. But there's there's a

1126
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 3: few pretty funny number thirties.

1127
01:03:55,800 --> 01:03:58,560

01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 2: Thanks to the great Joe Daniman who listens along, we

1144
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 2: made reference of the great Uh Jung Bong or June Bong.

1145
01:04:54,800 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 2: You just need to pick one. It was Joe Daniman

1146
01:04:58,120 --> 01:05:01,560
Speaker 2: that said during the break. Fun fact about Bong. He

1147
01:05:01,640 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 2: actually started in Ken Griffy Junior's five hundredth home run game, which.

1148
01:05:06,880 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 3: I immediately know was June twentieth of two thousand and four,

1149
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 3: because I have a pennant with that date on it

1150
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 3: of Junior blasting that five hundredth blast.

1151
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 2: But Jung was on the mound that day. Huh unreal?

1152
01:05:19,400 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 3: Do you know where that game was played?

1153
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 2: Which one? Where was it? That game? Where was it?

1156
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 3: See if you can we get Jung to call in.

1157
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:37,440
Speaker 2: Jung, if you're listening, call in.

1158
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,120
Speaker 3: Does anybody at the Reds maybe have a contact for Jung?

1159
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 2: We have a contact for Jung Bong.

1160
01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 3: I know our guy Michael Anderson uh is often listening.

1161
01:05:46,920 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 3: Maybe now maybe he's got a way for us to

1162
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 3: contact Jung. He's got to be listening or maybe the

1163
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:53,760

1178
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 15: them volunteer searching for Nancy Guffrey.

1179
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 2: I don't think nothing will come out of it and

1180
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 2: just say we're a part of it.

1181
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:49,920
Speaker 17: Help.

1182
01:06:49,960 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 15: But we went to the game yesterday that JJ Bladay

1183
01:06:52,080 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 15: something else. Let me tell you, I ain't seen a

1184
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 15: left handed bat since Larry Walker like JJ bl Day.

1185
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:58,919
Speaker 15: The sound of that ball hitting the bat. We got

1186
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 15: something with this guy. You may I told you JJ.

1187
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:06,400
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, I get the feeling. And I maybe

1188
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 3: this is just because they both wear number twenty two,

1189
01:07:09,080 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 3: but I think I think JJ Blede could be the

1190
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,440
Speaker 3: next Derek Dietrich and the love affair that Red's fans

1191
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:17,960
Speaker 3: have for him.

1192
01:07:17,960 --> 01:07:21,440
Speaker 2: If you still oh no, hey, Greg Sharonville.

1193
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 18: Three takeaways from a great weekend.

1194
01:07:25,600 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 2: My paracats are back.

1195
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:28,240
Speaker 11: On, Tony.

1196
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: You still have game and.

1197
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 19: Really a smooth shot and I love may so the

1198
01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,360
Speaker 19: man leaves it all out on the court.

1199
01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 3: This is how I know Greg's full of craft because

1200
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:41,640
Speaker 3: I was told you couldn't shoot the ball at all.

1201
01:07:41,680 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 2: I was eleven to twelve from the foul line.

1202
01:07:43,600 --> 01:07:46,040
Speaker 3: Okay, from the foul line. Okay, maybe that's what he's

1203
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 3: talking about the charity stret.

1204
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:49,840
Speaker 2: I appreciate Greg because he showed up yesterday to watch

1205
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 2: a highly contested mat. Greg is the best.

1206
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:56,120
Speaker 20: So I'm guessing between the hockey team and Mike Turrico

1207
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 20: at the end of the game, the SPS and the

1208
01:07:58,400 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 20: Sports Emmy.

1209
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 2: He's a boat's been for this year.

1210
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:05,880
Speaker 20: Just great work on all fronts by everybody at NBC

1211
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 20: and the hockey team.

1212
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1213
01:08:08,840 --> 01:08:12,640
Speaker 3: I have two beefs with Nbcay, and maybe I can

1214
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 3: ask Joe Daniman about this tomorrow because he is, you know,

1215
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:23,160
Speaker 3: the television expert. The shots immediately after the goal, the

1216
01:08:23,200 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 3: golden goal, game winning goals for the United States, both

1217
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 3: men's and women's, did not immediately capture the celebration of

1218
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,479
Speaker 3: the Americans agreed one. It just zoomed out of the

1219
01:08:33,479 --> 01:08:36,960
Speaker 3: crowd and it was delayed on the men's game and

1220
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 3: for the women's game, it kind of zoomed out and

1221
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 3: then went to the Canadian players with their heads in

1222
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 3: their hands. That's my only beef. I want to see

1223
01:08:43,680 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 3: the celebration, sure right away.

1224
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 5: Happy Month, everybody.

1225
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 2: What a week in it was.

1226
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 5: You had Tony's bear Cats with the big I've said,

1227
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,320
Speaker 5: you had the men's hockey team bringing home gold. You

1228
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 5: had Michael Jordan his drivers won back to back weeks

1229
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,920
Speaker 5: in NASCAR. That's pretty cool. Now we're on to the combine,

1230
01:09:01,960 --> 01:09:06,040
Speaker 5: so let's go overbody who do go? Reds Okay.

1231
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 10: Austin and unbearable Tony.

1232
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 21: The Kentucky season is done officially thirty one. Matt Bellile

1233
01:09:15,720 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 21: days away from opening day. Great to see baseball back

1234
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 21: on his past weekend and tell you what, I'm not

1235
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 21: a big hockey guy, but man, that.

1236
01:09:23,880 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 10: Game on Sunday was fantastic.

1237
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:33,480
Speaker 19: Agreed, Totally disgusted with the direction of the UK basketball

1238
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 19: program is going. We should be looking at a one

1239
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 19: or two seed, not hoping to get into the tournament

1240
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:43,920
Speaker 19: tournament period.

1241
01:09:43,320 --> 01:09:45,439
Speaker 2: My plan is.

1242
01:09:45,720 --> 01:09:49,160
Speaker 19: We fire Mark Pope, oh, hire Rich Patino, he'd love

1243
01:09:49,240 --> 01:09:51,800
Speaker 19: to be back here, given a couple of years to

1244
01:09:51,840 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 19: get the program in line, and then hire his.

1245
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 3: Son Richard, Oh, go USA, all right, Ken's got a

1246
01:09:59,680 --> 01:10:03,559
Speaker 3: planned out. Did I see Saint John's as won thirteen

1247
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,719
Speaker 3: games in a row, Yes, longest wind streak forty years.

1248
01:10:06,520 --> 01:10:10,080
Speaker 2: And playing some good defense too. Maybe it's nineteen eighty

1249
01:10:10,120 --> 01:10:10,679
Speaker 2: all over.

1250
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:14,480
Speaker 22: Again, Tony Otto, Ryan Yellow Springs. It's hard to describe

1251
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 22: how meaningful that win was yesterday for USA hockey.

1252
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:20,120
Speaker 2: As a guy, and my twin.

1253
01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:22,839
Speaker 22: Brother, Adam, who's also a listener, grew up playing public

1254
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:27,719
Speaker 22: Ohio hockey. You know, shout out Butler County Red Hawks program,

1255
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 22: shout out Taliwan to high school hockey, Like that win

1256
01:10:30,680 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 22: yesterday was for so many Americans who grew up maybe

1257
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 22: you know, watching miracle or cheering on Patrick Kane in

1258
01:10:36,840 --> 01:10:40,519
Speaker 22: the twenty ten Olympics. Like, finally our program is there

1259
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:44,719
Speaker 22: at the top. Just a quick double dip to say,

1260
01:10:44,760 --> 01:10:47,280
Speaker 22: what a moment the sport is having here in the

1261
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 22: US in general, coming off of the success of the

1262
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,599
Speaker 22: Four Nations last year, and just where the women's game

1263
01:10:53,720 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 22: is at a national level here in the US, and

1264
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 22: just the popularity that's growing all over here in the

1265
01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,680
Speaker 22: States specifically. He had the stadium series game finally in

1266
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:06,360
Speaker 22: the horseshoe last year, Red Wings versus Blue Jackets. Just

1267
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 22: the game's on an unbelievable trajectory right now, and I

1268
01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:11,960
Speaker 22: love how many young folks are gonna get involved because

1269
01:11:11,960 --> 01:11:12,960
Speaker 22: of yesterday's when.

01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 7: I'm the big five O to Dad to put that

1273
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 7: perspective for you whibber snappers.

1274
01:11:21,320 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 3: I have a big memory of Super Bowl sixteen.

1275
01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,639
Speaker 7: I was in junior hyder in Super Bowl twenty three,

1276
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:26,559
Speaker 7: screw the Niners.

1277
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,479
Speaker 2: My son was two on Pike to Bins Day.

1278
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:31,080
Speaker 7: I was still forty nine when the US men's hockey

1279
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:33,040
Speaker 7: team stuck it to the Canucks for the gold medal.

1280
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:34,679
Speaker 2: That was a fantastic birthday President.

1281
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,040
Speaker 7: I'm not a big hockey follower, but probably watched that

1282
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 7: last goal ten times over. Anyway, my son calls me

1283
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,600
Speaker 7: off now instead of Dad. Stay, young fellows and fellow talkbackers.

1284
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 3: Yep, Tony's only got a couple more weeks of being

1285
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 3: called Tony before he comes in here and he's officially

1286
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:51,000
Speaker 3: labeled unk.

1287
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 17: Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan. And well, a

1288
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,320
Speaker 17: lot went down over the weekend. Kansas went down like

1289
01:11:59,360 --> 01:12:03,599
Speaker 17: Walter Monday in eighty four, Canada went down like taxes

1290
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 17: during my administration, or and Liam's team went down like

1291
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 17: a beer at Aggie's on a Friday night.

1292
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 3: I wonder if Liam will have anything to say today.

1293
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:16,640
Speaker 3: I'm hoping that he leaves a talk about and that

1294
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 3: was an apt to comparison Walter Mondale.

1295
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,000
Speaker 23: Yeah, big shout out to the two hockey teams. Both

1296
01:12:24,080 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 23: went in two to one in overtime against Canada. Forty

1297
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:34,280
Speaker 23: six years since the miracle. Very symmetrical. Shout out to

1298
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 23: Miami RedHawks. You see winning at fog Allen unreal. I

1299
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 23: mean like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

1300
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 2: That's right, That's that's well, said, a phoenix rising from

1301
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 2: set ashes.

1302
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:53,840
Speaker 24: O man if man Leroy down here in found it

1303
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 24: so tired of all the cry babies, Kenaway, Kenaway, come on,

1304
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 24: grow up? Lost, move on well, Jack Hughes, my cousin

1305
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 24: Jas brought the Fender reunion with his bloody mouth, missing

1306
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 24: teeth and right for the American fly after boxing my

1307
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 24: sister craziness. You say, jay Hawks take him down? What

1308
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,200
Speaker 24: a weekend of college basketball going. We'll do some more

1309
01:13:16,520 --> 01:13:19,000
Speaker 24: next couple of days. Take down the Red Raiders, Let's go.

1310
01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 16: I'm not a Canada hater, but the sour Graves has

1311
01:13:27,560 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 16: to stop. They're saying the better team didn't win. What

1312
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 16: It's kind of like when the Blue Jays lost to

1313
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 16: the Dodgers. Some broadcaster lost his mind saying the better

1314
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 16: team didn't win enough, look at the scoreboard. What if?

1315
01:13:42,280 --> 01:13:45,759
Speaker 16: In nineteen forty five, after the fall of Berlin, Germany

1316
01:13:45,920 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 16: was like, oh, the team did not win enough, look

1317
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:53,120
Speaker 16: at the scoreboard, tighten it up.

1318
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,880
Speaker 3: Wow, one of these also, you know, the beauties of

1319
01:13:56,920 --> 01:13:59,439
Speaker 3: sports is that the better team doesn't always win.

1320
01:14:01,120 --> 01:14:05,720
Speaker 25: Tony Austin, what's going on? Vellas, Mike and Independence. It

1321
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:09,320
Speaker 25: was nice to see the Bearcats go inside, use their size,

1322
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:13,439
Speaker 25: take advantage, kick it out to open shooters if it's

1323
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,639
Speaker 25: not there. You know, with storied history with big guys

1324
01:14:16,680 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 25: in Cincinnati over the last couple decades, Kenny Martin, Denny

1325
01:14:20,160 --> 01:14:25,080
Speaker 25: Ford's and Gary Clark, Jason Maxiell just taken over in

1326
01:14:25,160 --> 01:14:27,639
Speaker 25: the paint. So it was nice to see big win.

1327
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:30,840
Speaker 2: Let's beat the Raiders on Tuesday. Let's go. Let's go.

1328
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 26: Hey guys, Jeff and INDI love the bubble talk. Tony,

1329
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,800
Speaker 26: I'm a die hard Indiana Hoosiers fan, a guy who's

1330
01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 26: watched his team make it sometimes and I'm the king

1331
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 26: of the bubble, and you hit every talking point just

1332
01:14:42,760 --> 01:14:44,800
Speaker 26: right there. But I will tell you I've watched this,

1333
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 26: and I looked at Cincinnati. If they win three of

1334
01:14:47,120 --> 01:14:48,800
Speaker 26: their last four, they don't have to beat tex Attack,

1335
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:51,000
Speaker 26: and they win three to their last four and lose

1336
01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:54,360
Speaker 26: one in the conference tournament, they'll make it because of

1337
01:14:54,360 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 26: the strength of their victories that they would have over

1338
01:14:56,800 --> 01:14:59,240
Speaker 26: this last month. Unless there's a big thief. That's what

1339
01:14:59,280 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 26: you have to watch out for.

1340
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 2: Tony, good luck, I got goosebumps right now. Just think

1341
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 2: good old fashioned bid. Jeff's team as well, one of

1342
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,719
Speaker 2: those teams listed at the Indian Hoosiers with some work

1343
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 2: left to do.

1344
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 27: Hey, guys, Tony from Loveland, I just want to say

1345
01:15:14,360 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 27: what a great weekend. USA win the Gold Bear Casts

1346
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,880
Speaker 27: Pound in Kansas, and I got to meet the one

1347
01:15:20,880 --> 01:15:24,560
Speaker 27: and only Tony Pike over at Oakley Greens on Sundays.

1348
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:24,760
Speaker 20: Right.

1349
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:26,680
Speaker 2: But Tony will let you.

1350
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,920
Speaker 27: Know I did not see any of your cards come

1351
01:15:28,920 --> 01:15:31,240
Speaker 27: out of any hrip package, but the person next to

1352
01:15:31,280 --> 01:15:36,320
Speaker 27: me did rip a fifteen dollars gold Pokemon card whatever

1353
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:39,840
Speaker 27: those are. But anyway, great meeting you and take care.

1354
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:43,120
Speaker 2: Yeah to saw Tony from Loveland yesterday, he said it

1355
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,080
Speaker 2: was the first time he's had a table at one

1356
01:15:45,120 --> 01:15:45,759
Speaker 2: of these events.

1357
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Oh nice, So I had some good cards on display, okay, Tony, Yeah,

1358
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:49,759
Speaker 3: very cool.

1359
01:15:51,520 --> 01:15:54,719
Speaker 28: Tony Pike, Power Cleaner and Austin Elmore.

1360
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,280
Speaker 2: How are we doing it to get healthy here?

1361
01:15:58,360 --> 01:15:58,439
Speaker 19: So?

1362
01:15:58,479 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 3: I've been doing mock.

1363
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:01,479
Speaker 28: Drafts a lot, just the first round. I get a

1364
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:02,960
Speaker 28: lot of time to do the whole draft, just the

1365
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:05,880
Speaker 28: first round, and it's getting a little eerie than all

1366
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,719
Speaker 28: the defensive players I want aren't going to be available

1367
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 28: at ten off these simulations of consensus. To me, that's

1368
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:15,360
Speaker 28: not a problem if we sign a safety, linebacker, and

1369
01:16:15,439 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 28: defensive lineman and free agency.

1370
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 3: Do you agree, yes, I don't think they should let

1371
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,519
Speaker 3: the Bengals draft a player if they don't sign those

1372
01:16:24,560 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 3: three guys before the draft happens. You've got to create

1373
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:34,479
Speaker 3: flexibility number ten by being active in free agency.

1374
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,120
Speaker 29: I don't know if you guys mentioned it or not,

1375
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:42,080
Speaker 29: but it deserves a shout out. Sharondel native Colin Curran

1376
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:48,480
Speaker 29: won a gold medal with the mixed team aerial freestyle

1377
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:53,800
Speaker 29: and beat a Chinese team that featured two gold medalists

1378
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 29: and a bronze medalist and they basically crushed them.

1379
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:00,479
Speaker 2: So shout out out to them.

1380
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 29: Congratulations, that's going to Colin nice.

1381
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 2: Very cool.

1382
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 22: I am excited to see what Maddie long bottles McLean

1383
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:11,920
Speaker 22: does the rest of the spring training and man, if

1384
01:17:11,960 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 22: you can carry that over until the regular season, I

1385
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:15,679
Speaker 22: think we're in for a good one.

1386
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:21,920
Speaker 28: Maybe long pans equals more long balls, no pun intended.

1387
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,640
Speaker 3: Now he said, Maddy long bottoms.

1388
01:17:24,840 --> 01:17:26,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I like that.

1389
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 3: Now you know what I've been I've been kind of waiting.

1390
01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:31,800
Speaker 3: I need my guy, Spencer Steer to go deep in

1391
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 3: spring training so I can put the Spency long balls

1392
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:38,800
Speaker 3: tweet out there, which I love to tweet. But I

1393
01:17:38,920 --> 01:17:42,879
Speaker 3: like the idea of Maddy long bottoms and maybe some

1394
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:47,080
Speaker 3: sort of combination with Matty long balls. I'm interested in this.

1395
01:17:48,400 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 30: So here we go.

1396
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 2: You're gonna say, jam we already covered this.

1397
01:17:52,479 --> 01:17:57,040
Speaker 30: So my two part question is in hockey, is it

1398
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,639
Speaker 30: harder to get a Stanley Cup or a gold medal?

1399
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,559
Speaker 30: And the second part is as a hockey player, is

1400
01:18:05,600 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 30: it more desirable to get the Stanley Cup?

1401
01:18:09,040 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 2: Or a gold medal. See I think for hockey, I

1402
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 2: don't know which is harder, but I think the gold

1403
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 2: medal is more desirable.

1404
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 3: I would say that most hockey players would tell you

1405
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:19,080
Speaker 3: that the Stanley Cup is more desirable.

1406
01:18:19,080 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 2: By the way, for those Canada fans mad at the

1407
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,600
Speaker 2: three on three at the end, maybe you should have

1408
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,320
Speaker 2: scored when it was five on three in the game

1409
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:29,840
Speaker 2: and you wouldn't be in that position the most. What

1410
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 2: about killing a five on three penalty?

1411
01:18:31,640 --> 01:18:35,000
Speaker 3: The most impressive stat I saw from the entire Olympics

1412
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,600
Speaker 3: was that the United States was perfect on penalties they

1413
01:18:37,720 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: killed or power plays. They killed every single power play

1414
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 3: that they came across in that entire tournament. Elite, I

1415
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,639
Speaker 3: think it would be harder to get a gold medal

1416
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,400
Speaker 3: because you only play every four years and you're not

1417
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:53,000
Speaker 3: guaranteed to have a great team around you. But I

1418
01:18:53,040 --> 01:18:56,400
Speaker 3: think most players would say the Stanley Cup is more desirable.

1419
01:18:58,120 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 17: Tony and Austin, did you know the silver medal is.

1420
01:19:00,439 --> 01:19:03,760
Speaker 4: The only metal that you don't win. You win the

1421
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 4: gold medal, of course, you have a bronze medal. Game

1422
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,840
Speaker 4: silver medal is the only medal that you're just given

1423
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:14,639
Speaker 4: as the first loser to the gold medal game.

1424
01:19:14,800 --> 01:19:19,080
Speaker 2: Fun fact, I guess that's true. Good point joke of

1425
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 2: the day.

1426
01:19:19,720 --> 01:19:21,400
Speaker 11: Oh how many Mexicans.

1427
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 28: Nope, No, not doing that, Nope, nope, nope, double dip

1428
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:29,920
Speaker 28: Austin to address your test for the camera work.

1429
01:19:30,000 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 2: After the US scored their goal.

1430
01:19:32,560 --> 01:19:35,240
Speaker 28: I've heard some interesting theories online that the people actually

1431
01:19:35,320 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 28: in the camera boost, you know, the control camera to

1432
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:42,480
Speaker 28: camera were so excited for the win that they were celebrating.

1433
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:43,639
Speaker 5: Within the booth and didn't click.

1434
01:19:43,400 --> 01:19:45,960
Speaker 28: The button fasted up to switch to another camera. That

1435
01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 28: would honestly be a very human mistake that I could

1436
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 28: see thoughts.

1437
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:52,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was sure, that's possible. I think there was

1438
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 2: a moment too, like, at least where I was from

1439
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 2: watching it, I didn't know it went in the nets

1440
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 2: at first, right, Like it was hard to follow and

1441
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 2: it didn't like pop, It just kind of stuck in

1442
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 2: the back corner of the net. Yeah, so there's that delay,

1443
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 2: like what happened. Yeah.

1444
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:08,240
Speaker 3: I saw a lot of like reaction videos where people

1445
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:11,080
Speaker 3: don't know for sure. And even when Kenny Albert made

1446
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 3: the call, he like hesitated for a second, He's like,

1447
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 3: wait did that go in? And then he did it, so, yeah,

1448
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 3: I think that's that's fair.

1449
01:20:17,680 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 30: Double dip dear with it. I've got beef with NBC two.

1450
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,680
Speaker 30: When they would come out of a break, you know

1451
01:20:24,680 --> 01:20:27,920
Speaker 30: how in the upper laugh can corner they show the score,

1452
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 30: they wouldn't put that dag gone score up there for

1453
01:20:33,600 --> 01:20:37,600
Speaker 30: like two minutes. I'd walk out of the rim and

1454
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 30: come back from a commercial break and I'd be like,

1455
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 30: what's the score here? I Am standing in my house

1456
01:20:44,040 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 30: alone with my hands out to my side.

1457
01:20:46,160 --> 01:20:46,680
Speaker 11: Like what.

1458
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 2: You know what hockey took away?

1459
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:50,840
Speaker 18: That?

1460
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:53,479
Speaker 2: I remember when I was younger watching that helped me.

1461
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,640
Speaker 2: Do you ever remember, Austin, are you old enough to

1462
01:20:56,680 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 2: remember when they during hockey broadcast would put like the

1463
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:02,519
Speaker 2: neon light on the puck and so as the puck

1464
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,679
Speaker 2: moved on as you're watching on TV, you could see

1465
01:21:04,680 --> 01:21:08,240
Speaker 2: like the light following it. That made it easier to

1466
01:21:08,240 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 2: watch for me. Yeah, I don't know if I remember that. Okay,

1467
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:14,240
Speaker 2: I don't know if I remember that.

1468
01:21:16,360 --> 01:21:20,280
Speaker 4: Another find fact on Griffy's five hundred home run, Do

1469
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 4: you guys know who the picture that gave up the

1470
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 4: horrem was?

1471
01:21:26,479 --> 01:21:27,160
Speaker 17: Matt Morris?

1472
01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 31: Yes, yes, I recall going to a Reds game back

1473
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,479
Speaker 31: back when Ball was playing for him, and he pictured

1474
01:21:38,479 --> 01:21:41,200
Speaker 31: really well. He started through five six innings and then

1475
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 31: he started getting shelled and uh as the manager came

1476
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 31: out there, take him back to the doug out and

1477
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:51,200
Speaker 31: pulled my out of the game. I recall somebody in

1478
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:55,640
Speaker 31: the stands yelling the bong is cashed, and I just

1479
01:21:55,720 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 31: found that amusing. He went on to have decent years

1480
01:21:58,680 --> 01:21:59,519
Speaker 31: with Baltim Morrison.

1481
01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 3: Hmm, there's definitely some middle names we could get to

1482
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:04,240
Speaker 3: with Jung Bong.

1483
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:09,559
Speaker 2: Yeah. Now I'm trying to dive into the box score itself.

1484
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: I want to know more about Jung Old Jung.

1485
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 3: I would assume the Reds lost that game in two

1486
01:22:15,080 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 3: thousand and four when Griffy hit that homer. I assumed

1487
01:22:17,600 --> 01:22:18,040
Speaker 3: they lost.

1488
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:20,679
Speaker 2: They won six nothing? Did they really listen to this? Okay?

1489
01:22:21,080 --> 01:22:26,160
Speaker 2: Six innings, three hits, five strikeouts, no earned runs.

1490
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 3: Okay, I mean that's just dealing Jung Bong.

1491
01:22:29,720 --> 01:22:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1492
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:34,680
Speaker 3: I when I was a kid, my one of my

1493
01:22:34,720 --> 01:22:39,519
Speaker 3: first cell phones was a Motorolaraser and I had my

1494
01:22:39,720 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 3: ring tone for pretty much the entire time I had

1495
01:22:43,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Speaker 3: that Motorola Raser was Ken Griffy Junior's five hundred home run.

1496
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:49,320
Speaker 3: It was Marty's call of the home run. Yeah, or

1497
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:50,120
Speaker 3: you just hear this, what.

1498
01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 2: A high drive hitting it deep right? That was my

1499
01:22:53,560 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 2: ring tone.

1500
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 3: And I remember one day I had left the ringer

1501
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 3: on and I was in class. I was probably a

1502
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:03,920
Speaker 3: I might have been in the eighth grade and it's

1503
01:23:03,960 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 3: just quiet reading time in class and you hear Marty

1504
01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 3: Brenneman say a high drive into righte something was guys

1505
01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:13,680
Speaker 3: getting a phone call. It's crazy, all right, that's it,

1506
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:15,719
Speaker 3: very very good.

1507
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:17,040
Speaker 2: Let's uh. I did not.

1508
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,000
Speaker 3: I didn't know of the existence of Jung Bong until today.

1509

01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:22,519
Speaker 2: and this is a little bit shocking to me, Austin,

1541
01:25:23,400 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 2: Miami only moves up to number twenty one in this

1542
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 2: week's poll. I thought we would see a top twenty

1543
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 2: this week from Miami based on all the teams that

1544
01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:36,000
Speaker 2: lost last week. B Yu off the Iowa State win

1545
01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:41,240
Speaker 2: does stay at number nineteen, so again Miami moves up

1546
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:49,160
Speaker 2: from twenty two to twenty one. You have BYU Texas Tech, Kansas, Houston,

1547
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,920
Speaker 2: Iowa State, and Arizona all in the top twenty out

1548
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 2: of the big twelve. Those are your latest AP top

1549
01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,840
Speaker 2: twenty five rankings. I do not see in the others

1550
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:06,200
Speaker 2: getting votes category the Cincinnati Bearcats yet, but we'll see

1551
01:26:06,240 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 2: what's ahead against Texas Tech tomorrow night for the Bearcats

1552
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:15,519
Speaker 2: real quick. Because we spend time each and every Friday

1553
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:18,920
Speaker 2: with our good friend Charlie golds or what we spend

1554
01:26:18,960 --> 01:26:21,799
Speaker 2: time with Charlie Goldsmith. We also spend time with Tom Gallaird,

1555
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:27,520
Speaker 2: the voice of FC Cincinnati, and I thought it was professional,

1556
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 2: I think is the right word Austin In. What FC

1557
01:26:30,640 --> 01:26:34,880
Speaker 2: Cincinnati did, especially on the defensive side against Atlanta. FC

1558
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,040
Speaker 2: did not score until the eightieth minute from Dank, so

1559
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 2: a very good defensive output from the Orangeine Blue. And

1560
01:26:43,640 --> 01:26:45,760
Speaker 2: then you get Dank in the eightieth and then you

1561
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 2: get Nick Hagland, the Cincinnati Kid, in the ninetieth to

1562
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,040
Speaker 2: give FC Cincinnati a nice two nothing victory in their

1563
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:55,200
Speaker 2: home opener in the MLS.

1564
01:26:55,240 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 3: Here's what it sounded like when Nick Hagland scored for

1565
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:02,519
Speaker 3: f C sincenat here guns the corner kick into the box.

1566
01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 32: Headed into the back of the night. Cincinnati strikes and

1567
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 32: it's the native Nick Haglin with the dagger into the

1568
01:27:11,160 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 32: hearts of Atlanta United.

1569
01:27:13,439 --> 01:27:19,360
Speaker 2: Hm, the Cincinnati Native. Now, I like, do you have

1570
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 2: the audio from the first goal by chance of den

1571
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 2: K's goal? I do? Can you play that as well?

1572
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:25,599
Speaker 2: From Tommy G I sure can.

1573
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,240
Speaker 3: I just got to make sure that it's queued up correctly, okay,

1574
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:30,639
Speaker 3: and then I'll press play.

1575
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 2: Throwing from Nick Haglin.

1576
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 33: A long throw found Barlow on the chest, but it

1577
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:36,000
Speaker 33: was poked away from behind my barrel.

1578
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Call comes into the midfield, lock de lock all.

1579
01:27:39,120 --> 01:27:40,960
Speaker 3: They'll get a chase trying to get out of the ball.

1580
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 33: Baiez cutting in from the far side, deflected Robinson chops

1581
01:27:45,400 --> 01:27:47,559
Speaker 33: the ball out to Valenzuela heads.

1582
01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:49,679
Speaker 2: It off, giddy forward, great ball.

1583
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:52,000
Speaker 33: It's at chaniek k two on one into the final third,

1584
01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 33: at Chanik into the box, over to dan Kate ten

1585
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:55,160
Speaker 33: K takes his.

1586
01:27:55,160 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 32: Time, dan Ka finishes it.

1587
01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,639
Speaker 2: Oh baby, the strike that.

1588
01:27:59,600 --> 01:28:00,000
Speaker 21: I f see.

1589
01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,360
Speaker 32: Cincinnati trimmed off here in the home opener and the

1590
01:28:04,360 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 32: Origin Blue lead one nil as the Queen City wars

1591
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:09,920
Speaker 32: its approval.

1592
01:28:10,160 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 2: I love that the Queen City roars its approval. Yes,

1593
01:28:14,720 --> 01:28:19,800
Speaker 2: that is fantastic. A good start FC Cincinnati. They win

1594
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,479
Speaker 2: their first CONCA CAFF Champions Cup match for nothing last week.

1595
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,960
Speaker 2: They then win against Atlanta two to nil, so back

1596
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:30,720
Speaker 2: to back shutouts for the Orangeine Blue. They take on

1597
01:28:31,560 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 2: O and MFC the same team in the return trip

1598
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:40,280
Speaker 2: to TQO Stadium now this Wednesday in CONCA CAFF Champions

1599
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:43,719
Speaker 2: Cup play, and then they take their first road trip

1600
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 2: of the MLS season against Minnesota on Saturday. So still

1601
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 2: two more matches in the month of February for FC

1602
01:28:53,680 --> 01:28:57,640
Speaker 2: Cincinnati as they look ahead to getting off to a

1603
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 2: very good start on this MLS calendar. Before we get

1604
01:29:01,600 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 2: to our three, let's grab a phone call. Mike is

1605
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:05,760
Speaker 2: hanging on the line. What's up, Mike?

1606
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,559
Speaker 11: Oh man, you guys are awesome, you know, thank you

1607
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 11: so much for that.

1608
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:11,760
Speaker 2: I appreciate it absolutely.

1609
01:29:13,200 --> 01:29:19,799
Speaker 11: I enjoying the show always. But I had an idea

1610
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 11: and then I want to get to some college bas well,

1611
01:29:22,880 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 11: this is a little baseball. I'll try to be pissed.

1612
01:29:26,479 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 11: I think the most valuable free agent pickup in the

1613
01:29:29,200 --> 01:29:32,040
Speaker 11: off season of any teams after looking at some of

1614
01:29:32,080 --> 01:29:34,479
Speaker 11: this stuff. I'm no expert, but I've tried to spend

1615
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:38,759
Speaker 11: a little time. I think Denver picking up Rico Battle

1616
01:29:38,840 --> 01:29:43,040
Speaker 11: out of Carolina and giving them a stud at running

1617
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:46,320
Speaker 11: back could really put Denver over the top for next year.

1618
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. He had a great year for Carolina this year,

1619
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,160
Speaker 2: and I think one of those sneaky moves in the

1620
01:29:52,200 --> 01:29:55,840
Speaker 2: offseason for a team in Denver that they need more

1621
01:29:55,880 --> 01:29:58,000
Speaker 2: on the ground game. But yeah, I think early on

1622
01:29:58,080 --> 01:29:59,839
Speaker 2: that's a sneaky good pickup.

1623
01:30:01,200 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 11: Yeah, and you know, and evidently he's on a free

1624
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:07,840
Speaker 11: agent market, so so hopefully that will work. Congrats to

1625
01:30:07,920 --> 01:30:11,320
Speaker 11: you and the Bearcats. You and Moe and the Bearcats.

1626
01:30:11,360 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 2: How about it?

1627
01:30:13,000 --> 01:30:16,639
Speaker 11: Unbelievable, dude. You know, I almost feel sorry for Bill self.

1628
01:30:16,640 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 11: Dealing with his knucklehead Peterson got what is wrong with

1629
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:21,759
Speaker 11: this guy? What is wrong with him? Tony?

1630
01:30:22,920 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 2: It's hard. It feels like it's a situation I don't

1631
01:30:28,120 --> 01:30:31,479
Speaker 2: remember happening before. And I think what makes it even

1632
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,240
Speaker 2: more unique is it feels like Bill self doesn't even

1633
01:30:34,280 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 2: have an answer for it. The head coach of the team,

1634
01:30:37,200 --> 01:30:39,599
Speaker 2: it feels like he's just as confused about this as

1635
01:30:39,600 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 2: everyone else. And I think that's what makes it so unique.

1636
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,000
Speaker 2: You got a Hall of Fame coach with a blue

1637
01:30:45,040 --> 01:30:47,640
Speaker 2: blood in college basketball, and no one seems to have

1638
01:30:47,680 --> 01:30:51,280
Speaker 2: any answers. And we just haven't heard much from Darren

1639
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 2: Peterson either, So it's just it's a lot of speculation,

1640
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 2: but just a weird, weird thing right now happening in Kansas.

1641
01:30:58,920 --> 01:31:01,920
Speaker 11: Just seems like a terrible teammates. Have you ever been

1642
01:31:01,960 --> 01:31:04,200
Speaker 11: around the guy like that that just you know, I

1643
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 11: don't want to play today.

1644
01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 2: Certainly, I've seen a lot of players that you watch

1645
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:13,800
Speaker 2: during the week and you think, man, that there's no

1646
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,040
Speaker 2: chance that player, that person is going to play, and

1647
01:31:16,040 --> 01:31:18,840
Speaker 2: then somehow they're out there or you know, you see

1648
01:31:18,880 --> 01:31:21,639
Speaker 2: them and they're sick and they're they're getting they're they're

1649
01:31:21,680 --> 01:31:24,400
Speaker 2: getting sick and yet their back out. I've seen more

1650
01:31:24,400 --> 01:31:26,320
Speaker 2: of that than the other side of it.

1651
01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:30,639
Speaker 11: Okay, Buddy, and that Florida team, I'm telling you, brother,

1652
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,080
Speaker 11: they just keep getting more and more dangerous. They're getting

1653
01:31:34,120 --> 01:31:37,240
Speaker 11: better as the season goes, and Moe's gonna hear all

1654
01:31:37,280 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 11: of it. He's gonna hear every bit of it from me.

1655
01:31:40,600 --> 01:31:44,520
Speaker 11: About I know you were rooting for Arizona.

1656
01:31:44,560 --> 01:31:50,559
Speaker 2: I know you were. Yeah, and Arizona did without co Pete,

1657
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:51,720
Speaker 2: which is very impressive.

1658
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,639
Speaker 11: I thought it was very impressive they and they hit

1659
01:31:55,680 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 11: threes and every other thing. It was like, hey, you

1660
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:03,560
Speaker 11: know real quick, I'm remember those Pittsburgh Pirates. He smacked

1661
01:32:03,560 --> 01:32:09,360
Speaker 11: the crap out of out of the Devil Rays yesterday.

1662
01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 11: That team worries me now. I'm telling you, I got

1663
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:15,160
Speaker 11: a weird gut feeling about the Pirates. Did you like

1664
01:32:15,360 --> 01:32:17,840
Speaker 11: mixed team going up to Illinois with that road win

1665
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 11: after his tirade?

1666
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,920
Speaker 2: Yeah? I thought. I thought, much like we talked about

1667
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,559
Speaker 2: Wes and how things got turned around after the West

1668
01:32:24,600 --> 01:32:27,000
Speaker 2: Virginia game, it would have been very easy for things

1669
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,400
Speaker 2: to kind of fall apart for UCLA as well, and

1670
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,360
Speaker 2: to beat a very good Illinois team and to do

1671
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:34,479
Speaker 2: so in overtime. I thought that was an extremely impressive

1672
01:32:34,520 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 2: win for mix team. I did too.

1673
01:32:37,360 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 11: And one last thing. There's an announcer the Reds had

1674
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 11: when I was a little boy and had my transistor

1675
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 11: in the bedroom unless my dad found it and then

1676
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 11: I was in trouble. And the Reds announcer when I

1677
01:32:49,120 --> 01:32:51,519
Speaker 11: was real little was Wade Hoyt, who was He's a

1678
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:54,200
Speaker 11: Hall of Famer pitcher for the Yankees in their heyday

1679
01:32:54,240 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 11: in the twenties and thirties. He was the best. If

1680
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 11: you can ever google Waite Hoyt, you talk of the

1681
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 11: greatest storyteller I've ever heard, like with rain delays and stuff.

1682
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 11: This guy unbelievable with stories about Babe Ruth and the

1683
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 11: Yankees and stuff. Did you ever get a chance to

1684
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,920
Speaker 11: check out Wladehoyt? Unbelievable and he was with the Reds

1685
01:33:12,960 --> 01:33:16,200
Speaker 11: probably in the fifties and sixties, I believe. But check

1686
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:17,960
Speaker 11: it out, guys. Thank you for your time.

1687
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:21,240
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike Kevi, a great day, appreciate it. Hour two

1688
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:25,679
Speaker 2: already has come to a close. We turn our sites

1689
01:33:25,760 --> 01:33:29,280
Speaker 2: to the Bengals and the NFL Scouting Combine. When we return.

1691
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 2: four nine, fifteen thirty. Let's dive in though to the

1692
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:37,559
Speaker 2: combine to start our final hour of the Monday edition

1693
01:33:37,600 --> 01:33:40,759
Speaker 2: of Cincy three to sixty. Thanks to you for listening

1694
01:33:40,840 --> 01:33:43,240
Speaker 2: along on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

1695
01:33:45,479 --> 01:33:51,880
Speaker 1: This is Tony Pike since eree sixty about Cincinnati from Cincinnati.

1696
01:33:52,040 --> 01:33:56,759
Speaker 1: This is ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station.

1697
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:03,879
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back our number three since e three sixty.

1698
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 2: ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati Sports Station. Let's continue along. Let's

1699
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:12,880
Speaker 2: switch gears a little bit though. Let's talk NFL. Let's

1700
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 2: talk about what this week is for the National Football League.

1701
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,960
Speaker 2: And before we do that, I think we have some

1702
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:24,040
Speaker 2: news from an NFL point of view. This from I

1703
01:34:24,160 --> 01:34:28,120
Speaker 2: believe I saw from Ian Rappaport that the Falcons Austin

1704
01:34:28,160 --> 01:34:33,559
Speaker 2: are planning to franchise tag their tight end Kyle Pitts. Yeah,

1705
01:34:33,680 --> 01:34:35,960
Speaker 2: keeping their playmaker on the field for a one year,

1706
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,840
Speaker 2: fully guaranteed deal worth more than fifteen million, and the

1707
01:34:38,880 --> 01:34:41,759
Speaker 2: hope is to work out a long term deal rather

1708
01:34:41,840 --> 01:34:45,680
Speaker 2: than the tag. The two sides have until July to

1709
01:34:45,760 --> 01:34:46,080
Speaker 2: do it.

1710
01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, really good. Year for Kyle Pitts this past year,

1711
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 3: and when you think of the success that David and

1712
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:57,200
Speaker 3: Joku and some of the others have had under Kevin

1713
01:34:57,240 --> 01:35:01,479
Speaker 3: Stevanski in Cleveland, it makes sense keep Kyle Pitts around

1714
01:35:02,439 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 3: for that new offense. I think what's interesting is there's

1715
01:35:05,680 --> 01:35:08,520
Speaker 3: a couple of guys that are tag eligible, Trey Hendrickson

1716
01:35:08,560 --> 01:35:10,680
Speaker 3: being one of them. Kyle Pitts is going to be

1717
01:35:10,720 --> 01:35:14,760
Speaker 3: the guy George also, right, George Pickens. Now, the Cowboys

1718
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 3: haven't made it official, but Steven Jones, who is second

1719
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:23,280
Speaker 3: in command among the Joneses, have has basically said we're

1720
01:35:23,280 --> 01:35:26,640
Speaker 3: going to use the franchise tag on George Pickens. And

1721
01:35:26,680 --> 01:35:29,800
Speaker 3: so the third of March, so ten days from now,

1722
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:35,679
Speaker 3: is the deadline to get that tag submitted in going forward.

1723
01:35:35,720 --> 01:35:38,479
Speaker 3: So I think ESPN did their top free agent rankings,

1724
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,240
Speaker 3: somebody did new free agent rankings over the weekend and

1725
01:35:41,320 --> 01:35:44,280
Speaker 3: they had George Pickens's the number one available free agent.

1726
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:47,320
Speaker 3: There was another one where Malik Willis was the number

1727
01:35:47,320 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 3: one available free agent. So either way, it looks like

1728
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 3: at least two franchise tags will be used on pass catchers.

1729
01:35:55,240 --> 01:35:58,919
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts already officially in Atlanta and then George Pickens

1730
01:35:59,000 --> 01:35:59,559
Speaker 3: in Dallas.

1731
01:36:00,240 --> 01:36:04,679
Speaker 2: The scouting combine starts this week, gets underway this week.

1732
01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:11,120
Speaker 2: Yesterday you get the arrivals of kickers, d linemen, and linebackers,

1733
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:13,320
Speaker 2: and their week will kind of go as follows. Today

1734
01:36:13,840 --> 01:36:17,680
Speaker 2: they have registration exams, orientation, and then they'll start their

1735
01:36:17,680 --> 01:36:20,960
Speaker 2: team interviews. Those team interviews carry over for the next

1736
01:36:20,960 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: three days Today, Tomorrow and Wednesday. Tomorrow, you get your

1737
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 2: medical exam, you get more team interviews, and then you

1738
01:36:28,439 --> 01:36:35,200
Speaker 2: really start working out on Wednesday and Thursday before departing

1739
01:36:35,200 --> 01:36:37,240
Speaker 2: on Friday, and then everyone else is kind of staggered.

1740
01:36:37,280 --> 01:36:41,040
Speaker 2: So registration is happening, team interviews are happening with the kickers,

1741
01:36:41,160 --> 01:36:44,960
Speaker 2: the d linemen, and linebackers today. As that happens today,

1742
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:48,200
Speaker 2: the DB's and tight ends get into town. Then their

1743
01:36:48,320 --> 01:36:52,680
Speaker 2: days essentially start tomorrow, and then tomorrow running backs, quarterback ins,

1744
01:36:52,680 --> 01:36:55,160
Speaker 2: wide outs get into town, and then on Wednesday, the

1745
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:57,640
Speaker 2: same thing happens for the old line. So that's kind

1746
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,559
Speaker 2: of how these staggered schedule is going to happen as

1747
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 2: the combine gets here. As it pertains to the Bengals themselves,

1748
01:37:04,240 --> 01:37:08,080
Speaker 2: you know, we just talked about Kyle Pitts. We just

1749
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 2: talked about George Pickens. When you start to look at

1750
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:14,599
Speaker 2: the Combine in the lens of just the Cincinnati Bengals, Austin,

1751
01:37:15,680 --> 01:37:21,439
Speaker 2: is what transpires around Trey Hendrickson the top thing that

1752
01:37:21,880 --> 01:37:25,760
Speaker 2: you're watching, because we've already heard that the Bengals will

1753
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 2: be looking to have conversations around the combine, if there's

1754
01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:32,600
Speaker 2: a market, if there's an interest from Trey Hendrickson, Is

1755
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:34,960
Speaker 2: that to you the top of what you'll be watching

1756
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:35,439
Speaker 2: this week?

1757
01:37:36,160 --> 01:37:41,080
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think Trey And basically, like the next ten

1758
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:43,479
Speaker 3: days are the most important with Trey, do the Bengals

1759
01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 3: decide to use that tag on him or not? And

1760
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,479
Speaker 3: the answer to that question could be determined by the

1761
01:37:49,520 --> 01:37:53,040
Speaker 3: conversations that are had this week at the combine, And

1762
01:37:53,080 --> 01:37:55,240
Speaker 3: so for that reason, I think it's probably the most

1763
01:37:55,240 --> 01:37:58,320
Speaker 3: influential or the most important or the most noteworthy thing

1764
01:37:58,479 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 3: that might be happening at the comp mind for the Bengals.

1765
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:03,760
Speaker 3: And we've seen that this has been a time in

1766
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:06,719
Speaker 3: the past where deals get done, where trades get worked

1767
01:38:06,760 --> 01:38:09,599
Speaker 3: out and so on, because everybody's basically under one roof

1768
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,840
Speaker 3: and you can have those conversations as far as what's

1769
01:38:13,880 --> 01:38:17,960
Speaker 3: happening with the players themselves, with the prospects, and I'm

1770
01:38:17,960 --> 01:38:20,479
Speaker 3: sure the Bengals are just as enthralled with Caleb Downs

1771
01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:23,160
Speaker 3: as everybody else. I'm sure they have their opinions on

1772
01:38:23,240 --> 01:38:26,439
Speaker 3: guys like David Bailey and Ruben Bain. I think you

1773
01:38:26,479 --> 01:38:29,880
Speaker 3: can start to see the separation between players like that,

1774
01:38:30,520 --> 01:38:33,840
Speaker 3: especially players at the same position. Where we might all

1775
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:36,599
Speaker 3: feel really good about Rubin Bain, the Bengals might feel

1776
01:38:36,840 --> 01:38:39,040
Speaker 3: really good about Rubin Bain, and they might get an

1777
01:38:39,120 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 3: up close look at David Bailey and say, Okay, this

1778
01:38:41,160 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 3: is actually a guy who might move to number one

1779
01:38:42,880 --> 01:38:45,680
Speaker 3: on our board. That sort of stuff where you get

1780
01:38:45,720 --> 01:38:47,479
Speaker 3: a little bit more of an understanding of who a

1781
01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:49,959
Speaker 3: player is and how he might fit in your system.

1782
01:38:50,400 --> 01:38:53,120
Speaker 3: And the other part for me is, you know, let's

1783
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:56,880
Speaker 3: say that you know Ruben Bain is gone, that David

1784
01:38:56,880 --> 01:39:00,280
Speaker 3: Bailey is gone, that Caleb Downs is gone. Who do

1785
01:39:00,320 --> 01:39:02,880
Speaker 3: the Bengals pivot to? Yeah, and is there a guy

1786
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:05,560
Speaker 3: that can impress them this week that they feel comfortable

1787
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:08,720
Speaker 3: with at number ten or is there a guy that

1788
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:10,679
Speaker 3: they feel like, Okay, well, if all these guys are gone,

1789
01:39:10,720 --> 01:39:13,479
Speaker 3: we'll move back a few spots in Gidar Guy.

1790
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:16,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think again, it starts as we mentioned with

1791
01:39:16,760 --> 01:39:20,479
Speaker 2: the Trey Hendrickson conversation. I think this, to be quite honest,

1792
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:22,799
Speaker 2: I've talked about this before and I think it starts

1793
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 2: at the combine that the Bengals need to do a

1794
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:28,360
Speaker 2: little bit better job of having more connection between the

1795
01:39:28,360 --> 01:39:32,880
Speaker 2: scouting department and the staff of coaches. We've talked about

1796
01:39:32,880 --> 01:39:35,960
Speaker 2: the scheme versus the personnel. You've got to shore that up.

1797
01:39:35,960 --> 01:39:38,439
Speaker 2: You've got to make sure you're identifying. You just mentioned

1798
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:42,080
Speaker 2: the pivot. Okay, does the pivot have the measurables that

1799
01:39:42,080 --> 01:39:45,760
Speaker 2: are desired? But quite frankly, does the pivot do they

1800
01:39:45,760 --> 01:39:48,679
Speaker 2: fit in the system you're trying to run? For too long,

1801
01:39:48,720 --> 01:39:51,760
Speaker 2: I feel like that has been questioned a little bit

1802
01:39:51,760 --> 01:39:56,040
Speaker 2: too much for me with the Bengals, and the combine

1803
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,400
Speaker 2: is getting away. I think more and more from the

1804
01:39:59,439 --> 01:40:02,599
Speaker 2: on the field workouts. We've seen that in the years past.

1805
01:40:02,680 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 2: But make no mistake about it, the value is in

1806
01:40:05,920 --> 01:40:08,440
Speaker 2: those meetings where you're able to sit down with these prospects.

1807
01:40:08,920 --> 01:40:11,879
Speaker 2: And we talk about that Austin. But what's the conversation

1808
01:40:11,960 --> 01:40:14,280
Speaker 2: we had last year off the first round. Here's a

1809
01:40:14,320 --> 01:40:16,280
Speaker 2: guy and Shamar Stewart that didn't even remember meeting with

1810
01:40:16,320 --> 01:40:21,200
Speaker 2: the Bengals. Can we make these meetings more memorable? Can

1811
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,759
Speaker 2: we leave a little bit more of a lasting impact?

1812
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 2: Like I get these players are meeting with a lot

1813
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 2: of teams, but the consensus was that the Bengals didn't

1814
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 2: put the full court press on Shamar Stewart last year

1815
01:40:34,120 --> 01:40:37,759
Speaker 2: before drafting him, vetting everything, Like I want the Bengals

1816
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 2: to have that with everyone they meet with. Make sure

1817
01:40:41,080 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 2: you know every in and out, make sure you know

1818
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,479
Speaker 2: that that's a match both as a player and as

1819
01:40:45,520 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 2: a scheme of what you're trying to do, and go

1820
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 2: from there.

1821
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 3: And I feel like that's a Shamar Stewart issue more than.

1822
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:55,679
Speaker 2: The Begals issue. It could be, And again that started

1823
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:57,960
Speaker 2: from the moment he was drafted last year. And then

1824
01:40:58,360 --> 01:41:02,360
Speaker 2: as it's always been Duke Tobin at the podium, it's

1825
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:05,320
Speaker 2: still an interesting thing for me. Now, is he He's

1826
01:41:05,320 --> 01:41:06,759
Speaker 2: scheduled to speak later tomorrow.

1827
01:41:07,320 --> 01:41:10,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, so him and Zach both will be tomorrow afternoon.

1828
01:41:10,360 --> 01:41:13,599
Speaker 3: It'll be after we are on the air Wednesday. We'll

1829
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:15,080
Speaker 3: have that for you on Wednesday.

1830
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:20,840
Speaker 2: But you look at the past and it's not like

1831
01:41:20,960 --> 01:41:24,120
Speaker 2: he's showing their full hand. But we had what was

1832
01:41:24,160 --> 01:41:26,080
Speaker 2: it a couple of years ago? That was it last year?

1833
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:27,960
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago where we had the Duke

1834
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:29,840
Speaker 2: Tobin kind of going to bat for t Higgins at

1835
01:41:29,840 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 2: the combine where we're not letting them getting away. I

1836
01:41:34,160 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 2: don't know if we'll hear anything like that, but it

1837
01:41:37,080 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 2: is always interesting to hear not only from Duke, but

1838
01:41:39,360 --> 01:41:41,920
Speaker 2: but to hear from Zach Taylor and kind of where

1839
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:43,000
Speaker 2: where they're at with things.

1840
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:47,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the most interesting question to be asked

1841
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:51,479
Speaker 3: of both of them. Number One, you know, Kelsey Conway

1842
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 3: reported last week that the Bengals are going to spend

1843
01:41:54,040 --> 01:41:56,240
Speaker 3: this week trying to figure out what they want to

1844
01:41:56,280 --> 01:41:59,320
Speaker 3: do with Trey Hendrickson and what other teams value him as.

1845
01:42:00,080 --> 01:42:02,160
Speaker 3: And so if that's the case, I want some more

1846
01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:05,000
Speaker 3: clarification from Duke on that. I just want to say, Hey,

1847
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:08,120
Speaker 3: what are you looking for in return for Trey? Have

1848
01:42:08,280 --> 01:42:12,080
Speaker 3: you had those conversations? Is a tag on the table, like,

1849
01:42:12,680 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 3: get as much information on that particular situation as I can.

1850
01:42:16,720 --> 01:42:19,559
Speaker 3: And then as far as as Zach Taylor is concerned,

1851
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:21,400
Speaker 3: I would love to know does he as the head

1852
01:42:21,400 --> 01:42:24,360
Speaker 3: coach want Trey Hendrickson back? Do you actually want this

1853
01:42:24,360 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 3: guy on your football team? Just a dude Trey that

1854
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:30,000
Speaker 3: you know, kind of threw Zach under the bus around

1855
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:34,120
Speaker 3: this time last year and in early March, March or

1856
01:42:34,200 --> 01:42:37,040
Speaker 3: April or whatever it was. It's been a dude that's

1857
01:42:37,080 --> 01:42:40,120
Speaker 3: been a distraction multiple times and a guy who didn't

1858
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:43,280
Speaker 3: play last year, and it felt like Zach was fed

1859
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,679
Speaker 3: up with the situation. So not that Zach would answer

1860
01:42:45,680 --> 01:42:47,639
Speaker 3: that question, but that's a question that I would ask.

1861
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:50,880
Speaker 2: What do you want? What would you take? What do

1862
01:42:50,920 --> 01:42:52,640
Speaker 2: you if someone at the comment said we'll give you

1863
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 2: this for Trey Hendrickson.

1864
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,679
Speaker 3: I would take anything right now. And I mean that because,

1865
01:42:56,760 --> 01:42:59,800
Speaker 3: like I don't think the Bengals are going to sign him,

1866
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:03,320
Speaker 3: and so for that reason, I will take whatever you're

1867
01:43:03,360 --> 01:43:06,760
Speaker 3: willing to give me for Trey Hendrickson. It's either he

1868
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 3: walks away and they might get a third round pick

1869
01:43:09,800 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 3: next year depending on what they spend, or you get

1870
01:43:13,280 --> 01:43:16,320
Speaker 3: whatever you can get right now. I'm at the point

1871
01:43:16,320 --> 01:43:20,360
Speaker 3: where I will just take whatever I can get because

1872
01:43:20,680 --> 01:43:23,479
Speaker 3: it's the third round pick. The compensatory pick you get

1873
01:43:23,680 --> 01:43:26,920
Speaker 3: in return is based off of the amount of spinning

1874
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:28,840
Speaker 3: you do in free agency, and I don't want that

1875
01:43:28,920 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 3: to hamstring the Bengals. So I'll take a fourth, I'll

1876
01:43:32,680 --> 01:43:35,360
Speaker 3: take a fifth, whatever you can give me for Trey.

1877
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:40,040
Speaker 2: I'm ready to move on. Yeah, like I at this point,

1878
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:42,760
Speaker 2: it's not only what you're gonna lose with Trey Hendrickson

1879
01:43:42,960 --> 01:43:46,759
Speaker 2: or to me, it's about your off season just avoiding

1880
01:43:46,800 --> 01:43:52,320
Speaker 2: the hold ups. Right, We've tabbed this and really every

1881
01:43:52,360 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 2: other offseason going forward as the most important offseason and

1882
01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,360
Speaker 2: what it feels like in Bengals history. The long this

1883
01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:04,519
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson situation looms, the more uncertainty. I think it

1884
01:44:04,600 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 2: just brings around everything else. Like I'm with you. If

1885
01:44:07,680 --> 01:44:10,760
Speaker 2: it's like, hey, we moved on, We're moving Trey for

1886
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:13,880
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, I don't think the consensus would

1887
01:44:13,880 --> 01:44:16,240
Speaker 2: be what that's all you got for him. I think

1888
01:44:16,280 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 2: the consensus would be good, they made a decision, they

1889
01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,320
Speaker 2: got something, and now we can move on to the

1890
01:44:21,320 --> 01:44:24,559
Speaker 2: next order of business. That to me, like I don't

1891
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 2: buy one out of it.

1892
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if I agree with that. I think

1893
01:44:27,240 --> 01:44:30,120
Speaker 3: people would freak out if they got a fifth. I'm

1894
01:44:30,160 --> 01:44:31,320
Speaker 3: not saying they should have.

1895
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 2: Opposed to what what else are they gonna get He's

1896
01:44:33,560 --> 01:44:34,280
Speaker 2: gonna walk regard with.

1897
01:44:34,360 --> 01:44:36,360
Speaker 3: People are gonna be mad because they think Trey is

1898
01:44:36,400 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 3: Reggie White.

1899
01:44:38,360 --> 01:44:40,160
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be the first to say he's not. He's not.

1900
01:44:40,800 --> 01:44:42,720
Speaker 3: But I mean there will be a segment of the

1901
01:44:42,720 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 3: fan base. And it's fair because Trey is still good

1902
01:44:46,920 --> 01:44:50,839
Speaker 3: and as we've talked about, he's listed by several outlets

1903
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 3: as the number one available free agent. It will feel

1904
01:44:53,479 --> 01:44:56,680
Speaker 3: like your football team gets worse with his departure. And

1905
01:44:56,760 --> 01:44:59,280
Speaker 3: I get where people are coming from. I don't necessarily

1906
01:44:59,320 --> 01:45:02,400
Speaker 3: buy that fully and I haven't for a while, but

1907
01:45:03,040 --> 01:45:07,760
Speaker 3: there will be a segment of people that feel that way. Yeah,

1908
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:10,479
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm more, especially considering the draft district.

1909
01:45:10,520 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 2: I'm more looking at the landscape of just what the

1910
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,120
Speaker 2: off season is correct and how much this team has

1911
01:45:16,200 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 2: to do. Make the decision, move on and do it confidently,

1912
01:45:21,280 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 2: and do it quickly, and then get back to whatever

1913
01:45:24,400 --> 01:45:27,320
Speaker 2: else needs to be addressed and whatever else you need

1914
01:45:27,360 --> 01:45:31,000
Speaker 2: to do going forward to make sure that by the

1915
01:45:31,040 --> 01:45:34,280
Speaker 2: time the draft comes, you already know where you're at

1916
01:45:34,280 --> 01:45:35,559
Speaker 2: a as a as a progress.

1917
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,720
Speaker 3: I also look at it through the lens of not

1918
01:45:38,800 --> 01:45:41,760
Speaker 3: necessarily what they should do, but what I expect them

1919
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:45,160
Speaker 3: to do. They should have gotten a deal done with

1920
01:45:45,240 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 3: Trey years ago. That makes more sense they didn't. I

1921
01:45:49,560 --> 01:45:53,760
Speaker 3: don't expect them to sign him back. I think that

1922
01:45:53,840 --> 01:45:57,240
Speaker 3: relationship has run its course, and so I expect them

1923
01:45:57,280 --> 01:46:01,719
Speaker 3: to let them let him walk. So for that reason,

1924
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:04,200
Speaker 3: I hope that somebody comes up to say, we'll give

1925
01:46:04,200 --> 01:46:05,720
Speaker 3: you a fourth round pick and the Bengals are like,

1926
01:46:05,720 --> 01:46:08,120
Speaker 3: you know what, Hell, yeah, let's do and then you

1927
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:08,680
Speaker 3: go from there.

1928
01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1929
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:10,080

1942
01:46:56,160 --> 01:47:02,800
Speaker 2: Real quick update, pac Man Jones pleaded guilty to assaulting

1943
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:07,080
Speaker 2: an officer during his Northern Kentucky arrest. He was arrested

1944
01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:11,200
Speaker 2: in June of twenty twenty five. According to bodycam footage,

1945
01:47:11,320 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 2: bar employees told him to set down a glass of wine.

1946
01:47:14,080 --> 01:47:17,280
Speaker 2: He then chopped an employ in the throat, and then

1947
01:47:17,320 --> 01:47:19,840
Speaker 2: when the police took him into custody, he pushed back

1948
01:47:19,880 --> 01:47:23,040
Speaker 2: on an officer, resulting in a minor injury. So pac

Speaker 2: Man pleaded guilty to felony assault charge. He also pleaded

1950
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:31,240
Speaker 2: guilty to several misdemeanor charges, which right now carry a

1951
01:47:31,280 --> 01:47:35,880
Speaker 2: recommended sentenced time in prison of eighteen months. Good so,

1952
01:47:37,080 --> 01:47:41,200
Speaker 2: the former Cincinnati Bengal pac Man Jones has been in

1953
01:47:41,240 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 2: the news again recently. Let me do this, Austin, before

1954
01:47:45,439 --> 01:47:48,360
Speaker 2: I tell you who this mock draft is from. I'm

Speaker 2: going to read through the mock draft. Okay, got it.

Speaker 2: There we go, all right, let me read through these

01:48:28,080 --> 01:48:30,760
Speaker 2: who the mock draft is from. All right. Round one,

1968
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:34,040
Speaker 2: twenty twenty six NFL Draft. The Las Vegas Raiders select

1969
01:48:34,080 --> 01:48:40,200
Speaker 2: Fernando Mendoza. Now I saw Austin really. Dan Orlovsky tweeted

1970
01:48:40,200 --> 01:48:45,559
Speaker 2: today that he has started his film study of Fernando Mendoza.

1971
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 2: He's gotten through the first five games and he is

1972
01:48:48,520 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 2: surprised at what he's seen. Is there any wiggle room

1973
01:48:52,520 --> 01:48:54,519
Speaker 2: at all that they don't pick Mendoza one? Number one?

1974
01:48:55,880 --> 01:48:59,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think so, okay? Number two. The New York

1975
01:48:59,160 --> 01:49:03,679
Speaker 2: Jets select David Bailey okay, edge rusher Texas Tech.

1976
01:49:03,840 --> 01:49:07,559
Speaker 3: Maybe a more complete player than rvel Reese. Sure number three.

1977
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:13,400
Speaker 3: Arizona Cardinals select edge rusher Ruben bain So. Back to

1978
01:49:13,479 --> 01:49:17,200
Speaker 3: back edge rushers at number two and number three. Number four.

1979
01:49:17,360 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 2: The Tennessee Titans select from Ohio State rvel Reese okay,

1980
01:49:23,520 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 2: number five. The New York Giants select Francis what's it Maui?

1981
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:35,960
Speaker 2: Noah Maui Noah tackle Miami number six Austin. The Cleveland

1982
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:41,519
Speaker 2: Browns select from Ohio State Caleb Downs, oh Interesting. Number

1983
01:49:41,560 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 2: seven to the Washington Commanders goes Mansword Delane. Number eight

1984
01:49:46,680 --> 01:49:48,880
Speaker 2: to the New Orleans Saints goes to Ohio State wide

1985
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:52,679
Speaker 2: receiver Carnell Tate Nice. That is three Ohio State players

1986
01:49:52,720 --> 01:49:55,439
Speaker 2: in the top eight of the NFL Draft. Here we go.

1987
01:49:55,560 --> 01:49:59,320
Speaker 2: Number nine, The Kansas City Chiefs select Jeremiah Love, oh

1988
01:49:59,400 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 2: running back Notre Dame Love, which brings us to pick

1989
01:50:03,000 --> 01:50:09,799
Speaker 2: number ten. Yeah, the Cincinnati Bengals select Sonny Styles, junior

1990
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:15,639
Speaker 2: linebacker Ohio State. It says this Sunny Styles has similar

1991
01:50:15,680 --> 01:50:19,680
Speaker 2: athleticism to Rvel Reese, but he's a better asset and coverage.

1992
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:23,320
Speaker 2: If Reese is the best front seven kind of defensive weapon,

1993
01:50:23,800 --> 01:50:27,840
Speaker 2: Styles might be the best back seven defender. Experience playing

1994
01:50:27,880 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 2: both safety and linebacker, the Bengals can use him in

1995
01:50:30,520 --> 01:50:33,120
Speaker 2: a wide variety of ways. Styles can over pursue his

1996
01:50:33,160 --> 01:50:35,599
Speaker 2: run lanes and get washed out when there's a mess

1997
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:37,760
Speaker 2: in front of him. But it's hard to argue with

1998
01:50:37,800 --> 01:50:44,240
Speaker 2: his athletic profile, production, pedigree, and versatility. Now, let alone,

1999
01:50:44,280 --> 01:50:46,560
Speaker 2: five Ohio State players picked in the top ten is

2000
01:50:46,640 --> 01:50:51,559
Speaker 2: very impressive. This mock draft comes courtesy of our friends

2001
01:50:51,560 --> 01:50:54,519
Speaker 2: at as E Sports. Oh John Shearon, our friend who

2002
01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,439
Speaker 2: joins us during the football station. John from a Disease Sports.

2003
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:02,240
Speaker 2: This is a disease mock draft. So your thoughts on

2004
01:51:03,320 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 2: Sunny Styles to the Cincinnati Bengals.

2005
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:11,400
Speaker 3: I think he's a beast. I think he's a really

2006
01:51:11,400 --> 01:51:15,439
Speaker 3: good player. He's an elite tackler. The Bengals need production

2007
01:51:15,680 --> 01:51:19,320
Speaker 3: like him at linebacker, but I don't think they would

2008
01:51:19,360 --> 01:51:21,840
Speaker 3: do it. The reason I don't think they would do

2009
01:51:21,880 --> 01:51:24,240
Speaker 3: it is because they just spent two premium picks on

2010
01:51:24,280 --> 01:51:27,519
Speaker 3: that position. I think they're going to sign a veteran

2011
01:51:27,520 --> 01:51:32,200
Speaker 3: in free agency. And on top of that, the fifth

2012
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:37,880
Speaker 3: year option franchise tag thing with linebackers is screwed up.

2013
01:51:37,840 --> 01:51:38,599
Speaker 2: By the NFL.

2014
01:51:39,560 --> 01:51:44,040
Speaker 3: They like, if I'm not mistaken, I don't entirely understand it,

2015
01:51:44,120 --> 01:51:47,479
Speaker 3: but basically they're treated like edge rushers, which means they

2016
01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 3: would be paid an absurd amount of money on a

2017
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:57,639
Speaker 3: franchise tag, like we're talking about Trey Henderson Max Crosby money. Sure,

2018
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:02,479
Speaker 3: So I don't think that that would happen, but I

2019
01:52:02,560 --> 01:52:06,759
Speaker 3: do think that he would immediately be the best tackler

2020
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 3: on the team.

2021
01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,000
Speaker 2: So my question becomes this emon Jalen Davis. In a

2022
01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:16,000
Speaker 2: setting like this, Miami's tackle is gone, Ruben Bain is gone,

2023
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:19,360
Speaker 2: David Bailey is gone, r Vel Reese is gone, Caleb

2024
01:52:19,439 --> 01:52:24,000
Speaker 2: Downs is gone, Mansard Delaney is gone, Carnel Tate's off

2025
01:52:24,040 --> 01:52:27,880
Speaker 2: the board. In a situation like this, would you look

2026
01:52:27,920 --> 01:52:31,840
Speaker 2: to trade back or some of the picks that happen

2027
01:52:31,920 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 2: on this mock draft right after the bangal Jermad McCoy,

2028
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 2: the corner we've talked about from Tennessee. Keldrick Falk is

2029
01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:41,840
Speaker 2: listed at going number twelve to the Dallas Cowboys. Other

2030
01:52:41,920 --> 01:52:45,720
Speaker 2: names thirteen, McKay lemon, wide receiver, Ravens. It has them

2031
01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:50,679
Speaker 2: selecting Caleb Banks, the d lineman from Florida, Spencer Fano

2032
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:54,880
Speaker 2: from the Tampa Bay Bucks. The offensive tackle is who

2033
01:52:54,920 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 2: they have him. So in a situation like this where

2034
01:52:58,240 --> 01:53:00,360
Speaker 2: all of those players are picked in the top nine,

2035
01:53:01,040 --> 01:53:03,760
Speaker 2: do you do you have a preference or would you

2036
01:53:03,800 --> 01:53:06,680
Speaker 2: be open to moving back if it played out like that.

2037
01:53:07,080 --> 01:53:09,240
Speaker 3: I'm open to moving back, but I'm trying to think

2038
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,880
Speaker 3: who's the guy that teams would want to move up?

2039
01:53:11,920 --> 01:53:13,240
Speaker 2: For sure?

2040
01:53:13,479 --> 01:53:17,679
Speaker 3: If man seward. Delaine is already off the board. Could

2041
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:23,000
Speaker 3: be is Jamal McCoy, That's what I'm saying, possibly him,

2042
01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:25,719
Speaker 3: Especially you think of a team like the Rams Keldrick

2043
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:28,280
Speaker 3: fault they could potentially move up. Keldrick Faulk has kind

2044
01:53:28,320 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 3: of fallen down draft boards a little bit. Maybe Dallas

2045
01:53:32,240 --> 01:53:35,040
Speaker 3: would move up to up a spot, and the Bengals

2046
01:53:35,080 --> 01:53:38,720
Speaker 3: have had history with Dallas and trades. But if you

2047
01:53:38,760 --> 01:53:41,120
Speaker 3: think about it, Baltimore is right there at fourteen, you're

2048
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:44,519
Speaker 3: not going to trade back with them. Pittsburgh is at

2049
01:53:44,520 --> 01:53:46,200
Speaker 3: twenty one, You're not going to trade back with them.

2050
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 3: Cleveland's at twenty four, you're not going to trade back

2051
01:53:48,120 --> 01:53:51,760
Speaker 3: with them. I don't know if there's a player kind

2052
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,880
Speaker 3: of similar to what happened last year that a team

2053
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:58,240
Speaker 3: is going to get crazy for, but maybe at number ten.

2054
01:53:58,400 --> 01:54:01,360
Speaker 3: I don't know why it would be completely off the table.

2055
01:54:01,520 --> 01:54:04,479
Speaker 2: What I find interesting about this mock draft from A

2056
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:07,360
Speaker 2: is E Sports is they do a seven rounder, so

2057
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:10,160
Speaker 2: they have the Bengals at number ten, taking a linebacker.

2058
01:54:10,760 --> 01:54:14,439
Speaker 2: In the second round. They have the Bengals going tackle

2059
01:54:14,920 --> 01:54:18,320
Speaker 2: with Caden Proctor. In the third round, they come back

2060
01:54:18,320 --> 01:54:21,280
Speaker 2: with Genesis Smith, a safety, from Arizona at a beginning,

2061
01:54:21,400 --> 01:54:25,120
Speaker 2: and then in the fourth round they have them taking

2062
01:54:25,520 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 2: Jalen Farmer, who's an interior offensive lineman from Kentucky.

2063
01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:30,479
Speaker 3: Any relation to Kyle Nope.

2064
01:54:30,920 --> 01:54:34,440
Speaker 2: So in the top four they go O line in

2065
01:54:34,520 --> 01:54:37,440
Speaker 2: two of those picks, which I just think is interesting

2066
01:54:37,600 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 2: of a way to view it if you're looking at

2067
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:44,600
Speaker 2: the Bengal stance. By the way, in round six, Cincinnati

2068
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:48,440
Speaker 2: Bengals Cyrus Allen, wide receiver Cincinnati. Oh about that? Yeah?

2069
01:54:48,480 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 2: Pretty cool there? But yes, I think it interesting because

2070
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:57,800
Speaker 2: this is kind of the first mock draft that I've

2071
01:54:57,800 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 2: gone through that it's like, ah, I'm not like I

2072
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:03,960
Speaker 2: can be sold. Last week we did a tackle. I

2073
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 2: could be sold on a tackle based on the work

2074
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:08,840
Speaker 2: they get done before the draft. I could be sold

2075
01:55:08,880 --> 01:55:12,320
Speaker 2: easily on Caleb Downs. And if a guy like Ruben

2076
01:55:12,360 --> 01:55:16,080
Speaker 2: Bain or David Bailey were around, then I think that's

2077
01:55:16,080 --> 01:55:19,200
Speaker 2: an easy choice. I think this is the first one

2078
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 2: where I'm like, does it make sense to do that? There?

2079
01:55:22,880 --> 01:55:25,920
Speaker 3: I think in a situation like this, and in a

2080
01:55:25,960 --> 01:55:28,400
Speaker 3: situation kind of like the one. There was another one

2081
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 3: I was reading this morning in which it had Ruben

2082
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:35,640
Speaker 3: Bain falling to the Bengals at number ten, but it

2083
01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:40,840
Speaker 3: also had in the first round four defensive tackles taken

2084
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 3: in the first round. If you think about it, that

2085
01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:49,120
Speaker 3: class of free agent defensive tackles is remarkably thin, remarkably thin.

2086
01:55:49,240 --> 01:55:51,480
Speaker 3: There's just not a lot of guys out there. And

2087
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:54,280
Speaker 3: I think Tier Tart already signed an extension with the Chargers,

2088
01:55:54,680 --> 01:55:58,960
Speaker 3: so he's not going to be available. And I wonder

2089
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,000
Speaker 3: if there are guys like Caden McDonald at Ohio State,

2090
01:56:02,640 --> 01:56:06,600
Speaker 3: like Caleb Banks from Florida. Caleb Banks really improved his

2091
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:08,960
Speaker 3: draft stock based off the way he performed at the

2092
01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:12,920
Speaker 3: Senior Bowl. Sure, could he have another situation this week

2093
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,680
Speaker 3: in Indianapolis in which people are like, Okay, this guy

2094
01:56:15,680 --> 01:56:17,880
Speaker 3: could be the first defensive tackle taken off the board.

2095
01:56:18,600 --> 01:56:22,600
Speaker 3: What about Peter Woods, whose draft stock has tanked over

2096
01:56:22,600 --> 01:56:25,080
Speaker 3: the last two months. Could he all of a sudden

2097
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 3: remind people why he was projected to be a top

2098
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:30,080
Speaker 3: ten pick in the NFL Draft a couple of months ago.

2099
01:56:31,160 --> 01:56:34,120
Speaker 3: That I think is the position we haven't talked about enough.

2100
01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting that you mentioned that position on

2101
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:40,160
Speaker 2: this mock draft. We've seen Peter Woods fall away to

2102
01:56:40,200 --> 01:56:43,000
Speaker 2: the second round, Peter Woods has listened at number twenty

2103
01:56:43,000 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 2: two on this to the Chargers.

2104
01:56:44,320 --> 01:56:47,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the one I was reading this morning, it

2105
01:56:47,640 --> 01:56:52,839
Speaker 3: comes from Gennaro. I don't know if I'm Spinker's Gennaro Felice.

2106
01:56:53,440 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 3: He's the NFL dot com editor, and he had the

2107
01:56:56,400 --> 01:57:03,080
Speaker 3: Bengals taking Ruben Bain, but he had at pick number

2108
01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 3: twenty five, the Bears taking Caden McDonald at twenty eight,

2109
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:13,720
Speaker 3: the Texans taking Caleb Banks at thirty, the Broncos taking

2110
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:17,520
Speaker 3: Peter Woods at thirty one, the Patriots taking Lee Hunter

2111
01:57:17,640 --> 01:57:22,480
Speaker 3: Detackle out of Texas Tech. If that's the If that's

2112
01:57:22,480 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 3: a possibility, sure where the other defensive tackles that you

2113
01:57:27,320 --> 01:57:30,720
Speaker 3: want might not or probably won't make it to you

2114
01:57:31,640 --> 01:57:36,240
Speaker 3: at the second round. I think there's a decent possibility

2115
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:38,320
Speaker 3: that the Bengals would take one at number ten. I

2116
01:57:38,360 --> 01:57:40,840
Speaker 3: don't know if they would take one over Ruben Bain junior.

2117
01:57:41,440 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 3: But in the scenario where like we've seen many times,

2118
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:49,360
Speaker 3: where instead of taking a corner like McCoy or Delaney,

2119
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,200
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, they're taking a defensive tackle.

2120
01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:56,920
Speaker 2: Interesting to see how this plays out in the coming weeks.

2121
01:57:56,960 --> 01:57:58,760
Speaker 2: Here for the Cincinnati Bengals.

2122
01:57:58,800 --> 01:58:01,280
Speaker 3: But again, the point is to be able to take

2123
01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,560
Speaker 3: whatever the best player is, whether that's a tight end,

2124
01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 3: an offensive tackle, a corner, running back Jeremiah Love. No,

2125
01:58:09,400 --> 01:58:11,680
Speaker 3: we're not taking a damn running back in the top ten.

2126
01:58:11,800 --> 01:58:14,800
Speaker 3: All right, it's not just sat up in his seat.

2127
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:18,520
Speaker 3: Shout out to Kajana Carter, though. Let's break, let's come back.

2128
01:58:18,800 --> 01:58:20,560
Speaker 3: Let's grab a couple of phone calls before we get

2129
01:58:20,600 --> 01:58:23,320
Speaker 3: to Moeggor on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

2130
01:58:24,160 --> 01:58:24,800
Speaker 13: Sometimes it.

2131
01:58:34,760 --> 01:58:39,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back since he three sixty ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati

2132
01:58:39,080 --> 01:58:41,640
Speaker 2: Sports Station. I did, I made a mistake. Chad Brenda

2133
01:58:41,720 --> 01:58:43,200
Speaker 2: is in from Oegar today. That's right.

2134
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:46,520
Speaker 3: I believe Mo is heading out the Lubbock, Oh with

2135
01:58:46,640 --> 01:58:47,160
Speaker 3: the Cats.

2136
01:58:47,240 --> 01:58:48,960
Speaker 2: Oh see, I didn't know if Moe was doing that

2137
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 2: or with UC winning against Kansas. If Chad was like, hey,

2138
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:55,600
Speaker 2: I'm doing the show today, well, both are possible. Okay.

2139
01:58:56,240 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 3: Anyway, I wouldn't put it past either one of them

2140
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:02,000
Speaker 3: to Chad come up here in just under ten minutes

2141
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,280
Speaker 3: or so. I make the assumption. I'm making the assumption

2142
01:59:04,360 --> 01:59:07,560
Speaker 3: that Dan Horde is on combine duty. Oh, that's right,

2143
01:59:07,640 --> 01:59:10,080
Speaker 3: and so that's my I'm guessing that's what's going on.

2144
01:59:10,560 --> 01:59:14,600
Speaker 2: That's a pretty good assumption. Let's grab a phone call.

2145
01:59:15,040 --> 01:59:18,600
Speaker 2: I believe we have Greg calling it. Hello, Greg, Hey.

2146
01:59:18,440 --> 01:59:19,680
Speaker 19: Guys, how's it going good?

2147
01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:23,880
Speaker 18: You know, I go to bed late and the last

2148
01:59:23,920 --> 01:59:27,640
Speaker 18: thing I do is watch Sports Center, And you know,

2149
01:59:27,840 --> 01:59:32,320
Speaker 18: of course I love the highlights, especially basketball, but to me,

2150
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 18: the most incredible athletes are the basketball players. So I

2151
01:59:38,480 --> 01:59:40,880
Speaker 18: don't know, it's like a week or so ago they

2152
01:59:40,920 --> 01:59:46,320
Speaker 18: were focusing on this kid from Mississippi State, last name Hubbard.

2153
01:59:46,360 --> 01:59:50,560
Speaker 18: I never heard of him, never sell him whatever. And

2154
01:59:50,600 --> 01:59:56,480
Speaker 18: he launched or he made nine to three pointers, but

2155
01:59:56,800 --> 02:00:01,080
Speaker 18: five of them were fadeaways. Man, And let me tell you,

2156
02:00:01,840 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 18: at least three or four of them, he'd taken one

2157
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:07,680
Speaker 18: more step back and he'd be at a half court.

2158
02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:12,600
Speaker 18: I mean, no exaggeration. In fact of Scott van pel

2159
02:00:12,720 --> 02:00:14,600
Speaker 18: I think it was Scott van Pelt. He says, you know,

2160
02:00:15,040 --> 02:00:19,000
Speaker 18: in all my years of watching basketball, I've never seen

2161
02:00:19,280 --> 02:00:20,400
Speaker 18: fadeaways like this.

2162
02:00:20,920 --> 02:00:22,760
Speaker 11: So anyway, I look hovered.

2163
02:00:22,480 --> 02:00:28,360
Speaker 18: Up and he's six foot and one hundred and eighty pounds,

2164
02:00:28,640 --> 02:00:31,160
Speaker 18: and I guess what I'm saying. You know, I remember

2165
02:00:31,320 --> 02:00:35,520
Speaker 18: Oscar with his his fade away. I thought that was cool.

2166
02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:37,720
Speaker 18: But you know, when I start thinking about a guy

2167
02:00:37,840 --> 02:00:40,760
Speaker 18: six foot, one hundred and eighty pounds and he's and

2168
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:43,760
Speaker 18: he's launching that, I guess what I'm saying is is

2169
02:00:43,880 --> 02:00:48,800
Speaker 18: just incredible of the talent basketball talent in this country.

2170
02:00:49,000 --> 02:00:51,880
Speaker 18: And that's even more makes me excited, you know, for

2171
02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:53,040
Speaker 18: March Madness.

2172
02:00:53,120 --> 02:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, Greg, I appreciate the call man, thank you. Okay, awesome.

2173
02:00:58,800 --> 02:01:04,120
Speaker 2: That was the player he's referring to, Josh Hubbard. Five

2174
02:01:04,200 --> 02:01:07,440
Speaker 2: days ago against Auburn, he was ten of sixteen from

2175
02:01:07,480 --> 02:01:12,320
Speaker 2: three for forty six points. The game before that he

2176
02:01:12,440 --> 02:01:14,400
Speaker 2: had thirty two. In the game before that, he had

2177
02:01:14,480 --> 02:01:18,600
Speaker 2: thirty one. Filling it up. I will say this like

2178
02:01:20,000 --> 02:01:23,200
Speaker 2: I've had a chance, I've had a chance to play football.

2179
02:01:24,000 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 2: I've had a chance to go and watch baseball games.

2180
02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:28,920
Speaker 2: I've had a chance to watch basketball games. But if

2181
02:01:28,920 --> 02:01:34,120
Speaker 2: you ever sit close to an NBA game, oh my gosh, nothing, realize.

2182
02:01:34,920 --> 02:01:38,160
Speaker 2: There's nothing like guys in football are big and fast

2183
02:01:38,160 --> 02:01:41,720
Speaker 2: and strong. You go to an NBA game and watch

2184
02:01:41,800 --> 02:01:44,440
Speaker 2: those guys that are big and strong and how fast

2185
02:01:44,600 --> 02:01:45,280
Speaker 2: they move.

2186
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:49,280
Speaker 3: Aliens, It's unbelievable. It's it's hard to fathom. I was down,

2187
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:51,680
Speaker 3: like you can't explain it. I like walked across the

2188
02:01:51,760 --> 02:01:54,560
Speaker 3: court once at a Pacers game when the Bulls were there,

2189
02:01:55,080 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 3: and I'm like walking past Joe, Keem Noah and Taj

2190
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:03,760
Speaker 3: Gibson and I'm like, how, like, huh what, how is

2191
02:02:03,800 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 3: that possible? And those guys you think about a guy

2192
02:02:06,160 --> 02:02:10,800
Speaker 3: like Wimby, like they can't say enough about Wimby to

2193
02:02:11,600 --> 02:02:16,400
Speaker 3: exaggerate or to fully explain his athleticism in his size,

2194
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:19,240
Speaker 3: Like there's not enough words to describe that.

2195
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:25,840
Speaker 2: I like, it's it's it's it's remarkable to me, it

2196
02:02:26,240 --> 02:02:29,000
Speaker 2: truly is how big these guys are.

2197
02:02:29,200 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 3: By the way you talk about incredible plays. I saw

2198
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:34,200
Speaker 3: one of the nastiest posters.

2199
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 2: I've ever seen.

2200
02:02:34,560 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 3: Yeah uh at the Dayton game on Saturday.

2201
02:02:37,560 --> 02:02:38,520
Speaker 2: I went to the UD game.

2202
02:02:38,520 --> 02:02:44,000
Speaker 3: They played du Quesni also known as Ducane, and Keyante

2203
02:02:44,120 --> 02:02:51,280
Speaker 3: Jones cocked it back tomahawk slam on this uh would

2204
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:54,720
Speaker 3: be defender who's a big fellow himself, and it was

2205
02:02:54,760 --> 02:02:56,960
Speaker 3: one of the nastiest poster dunks I've ever seen in

2206
02:02:56,960 --> 02:03:00,960
Speaker 3: my life. Go look it up. Keante Jones from Dayton, Man.

2207
02:03:00,400 --> 02:03:07,560
Speaker 2: I yeah, I've seen like again to your point, you

2208
02:03:07,600 --> 02:03:11,200
Speaker 2: sit close enough, Yes, you know they're big, but it's

2209
02:03:11,240 --> 02:03:11,920
Speaker 2: just how they move.

2210
02:03:12,880 --> 02:03:16,400
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. And to see that at the college level

2211
02:03:16,400 --> 02:03:20,840
Speaker 3: on any given night, I mean you think of Kevin Durant. Yeah,

2212
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:23,640
Speaker 3: I mean it's slim Reaper.

2213
02:03:24,960 --> 02:03:29,200
Speaker 2: It is hard to put into perspective unless you are

2214
02:03:29,200 --> 02:03:34,680
Speaker 2: there up close. U Chad Breundle waits to talk to us.

2215
02:03:34,760 --> 02:03:39,200
Speaker 2: Next for quick kits on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports station.

2216
02:03:40,680 --> 02:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Now it's time for quick hits on Tony Pikes.

2217
02:03:44,120 --> 02:03:47,960
Speaker 2: Since the three sixteen was looking for most Mo's not

2218
02:03:48,040 --> 02:03:51,000
Speaker 2: in today now, some have said mo might be traveling

2219
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:53,640
Speaker 2: to Lubbock, Texas. Others have said this is essentially a

2220
02:03:53,640 --> 02:03:58,280
Speaker 2: hostile takeover, where Chad Brendle Bearcat Journal dot Com has said, look,

2221
02:03:58,600 --> 02:04:01,160
Speaker 2: Bearcats go win by sixteen on the road of Kansas.

2222
02:04:01,440 --> 02:04:03,880
Speaker 2: It's not the Mowager Show today, Chad Brendle Show, the

2223
02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:06,960
Speaker 2: Chad Brendall Show today. This's going on. That was fun.

2224
02:04:07,360 --> 02:04:11,120
Speaker 34: That was to see them over the final seven minutes

2225
02:04:11,160 --> 02:04:14,960
Speaker 34: because that was as nip and tuck back and forth.

2226
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:17,720
Speaker 34: I mean, there was what nine ten lead changes in

2227
02:04:17,760 --> 02:04:20,240
Speaker 34: the first half. It was the moment of all right,

2228
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:23,040
Speaker 34: they played thirty good minutes. I've seen this before, now

2229
02:04:23,080 --> 02:04:28,400
Speaker 34: what and then haymaker haymaker, haymaker, answers, answers, and guys

2230
02:04:28,440 --> 02:04:31,480
Speaker 34: making shots, guys getting good looks and making clean looks.

2231
02:04:31,520 --> 02:04:34,320
Speaker 2: It was unique because the largest lead Kansas ever had

2232
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:36,520
Speaker 2: was four. Yeah, but it felt in the first half

2233
02:04:36,520 --> 02:04:38,040
Speaker 2: like there were a couple of times you're like, they

2234
02:04:38,080 --> 02:04:40,960
Speaker 2: need to stop. You can't let it get out of hand.

2235
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:42,400
Speaker 34: You know what it was? For me, it was that

2236
02:04:42,600 --> 02:04:46,560
Speaker 34: second segment of the second half. You see when over six,

2237
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:49,120
Speaker 34: I think they had two or three offensive rebounds and

2238
02:04:49,200 --> 02:04:49,840
Speaker 34: did score.

2239
02:04:49,920 --> 02:04:51,640
Speaker 2: They couldn't find the basket.

2240
02:04:51,240 --> 02:04:55,920
Speaker 34: And it was like, you're getting chances at Kansas, which

2241
02:04:56,040 --> 02:04:59,840
Speaker 34: which doesn't happen, and you're letting them slip through your

2242
02:05:01,120 --> 02:05:03,400
Speaker 34: I've seen this movie, Like, I know how this goes.

2243
02:05:03,400 --> 02:05:07,640
Speaker 34: They're playing their tail off, they're playing well enough against

2244
02:05:07,720 --> 02:05:10,600
Speaker 34: one of the big teams, the big names in the league,

2245
02:05:11,440 --> 02:05:16,920
Speaker 34: but they're not converting and turning those opportunities into a four,

2246
02:05:17,040 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 34: a six, and eight point lead. And they got to

2247
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:22,040
Speaker 34: that under twelve time out and I'm like, I just

2248
02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:25,200
Speaker 34: I think they've they've had the chance to create some

2249
02:05:25,200 --> 02:05:26,880
Speaker 34: separation and they haven't done it.

2250
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:30,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. And then man that under eight stop.

2251
02:05:31,080 --> 02:05:32,880
Speaker 2: I though under eight to the under four was like

2252
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:36,240
Speaker 2: to me, it was Peterson makes the three to cut

2253
02:05:36,240 --> 02:05:40,240
Speaker 2: it to one, and Dada hits his first basket and

2254
02:05:40,280 --> 02:05:42,240
Speaker 2: it answers right back, and then you get to steal

2255
02:05:42,720 --> 02:05:45,560
Speaker 2: and then a Celestine fall aways three and it's like

2256
02:05:45,600 --> 02:05:47,720
Speaker 2: holy kind of like now you think they got a

2257
02:05:47,800 --> 02:05:50,240
Speaker 2: chance to do it it It is three out of

2258
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:53,520
Speaker 2: the four. And I mentioned this today. The West Virginia

2259
02:05:53,560 --> 02:05:56,400
Speaker 2: game was a disaster. You know, they have a fourteen

2260
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:58,360
Speaker 2: point lead, they don't whether they scored fifty two or

2261
02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:00,880
Speaker 2: fifty four in the game. And then afterwards is the

2262
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:04,520
Speaker 2: West Miller press conference and West in the tunnel. This

2263
02:06:04,600 --> 02:06:07,520
Speaker 2: team has had every reason to fold. It's had every

2264
02:06:07,520 --> 02:06:11,400
Speaker 2: reason to dissolve a million times they have. They've they've

2265
02:06:11,440 --> 02:06:13,680
Speaker 2: put together three of their best four games, and the

2266
02:06:13,680 --> 02:06:16,520
Speaker 2: one they won against Utah is a game they've lost

2267
02:06:16,520 --> 02:06:19,160
Speaker 2: ten times this year. Yeah, where they just don't have it, Like,

2268
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,240
Speaker 2: look that's that sixty five sixty and they ended on

2269
02:06:21,280 --> 02:06:21,920
Speaker 2: a nine zero run.

2270
02:06:22,040 --> 02:06:26,240
Speaker 34: That's the difference between teams that perpetually lived just on

2271
02:06:26,320 --> 02:06:29,120
Speaker 34: the wrong side of the bubble and teams that get

2272
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:31,920
Speaker 34: in is Mick was the master at this?

2273
02:06:32,120 --> 02:06:34,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have, Hugs was the master at this.

2274
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:37,280
Speaker 34: You've got to find a way to win when your

2275
02:06:37,320 --> 02:06:40,840
Speaker 34: team isn't at its best, when shots aren't falling like

2276
02:06:40,880 --> 02:06:42,840
Speaker 34: you have got to find a way to grind out

2277
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:46,720
Speaker 34: those wins so that you can keep the chains moving,

2278
02:06:46,880 --> 02:06:50,120
Speaker 34: so that you can keep pushing forward. Because guess what

2279
02:06:50,400 --> 02:06:53,760
Speaker 34: if they lose to Utah, it doesn't matter what happens

2280
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:57,760
Speaker 34: to Kansas, nobody cares. But they found a way down

2281
02:06:57,840 --> 02:07:00,760
Speaker 34: four ninety seconds left. They found a way to get

2282
02:07:00,760 --> 02:07:04,080
Speaker 34: that win, to get a first down, right, like to

2283
02:07:04,480 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 34: get into field goal range or whatever football term you

2284
02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:10,920
Speaker 34: want to use. But they found a way to tough

2285
02:07:10,920 --> 02:07:14,360
Speaker 34: it out and keep it alive. And then they go

2286
02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:15,960
Speaker 34: to Kansas and do the unthinkable.

2287
02:07:16,040 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 2: Now, look, they're a five and a half point underdog

2288
02:07:19,080 --> 02:07:22,000
Speaker 2: officially tomorrow. That sounds against the town, right were you

2289
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:24,400
Speaker 2: and I talked off air? JT. Toppen is a Player

2290
02:07:24,440 --> 02:07:26,880
Speaker 2: of the Year candidate. Take you would have finished second.

2291
02:07:26,960 --> 02:07:30,800
Speaker 2: Texas Tech with Toppin is a national champion contender. Now

2292
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:32,560
Speaker 2: they put a hunter on the board against Kansas, State

2293
02:07:32,560 --> 02:07:33,760
Speaker 2: in their first game without him.

2294
02:07:34,000 --> 02:07:36,520
Speaker 34: I think me, you Audi tearing and Mo might be

2295
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:37,360
Speaker 34: able to put a hundred.

2296
02:07:37,520 --> 02:07:41,800
Speaker 2: We talked about the value of being the second team

2297
02:07:41,840 --> 02:07:44,080
Speaker 2: to play a team after they lose a stud and

2298
02:07:44,120 --> 02:07:46,120
Speaker 2: that's what U SEE gets the opportunity to do tomorrow.

2299
02:07:45,880 --> 02:07:50,200
Speaker 34: Now because there's some there's a bump initially when a

2300
02:07:50,240 --> 02:07:53,080
Speaker 34: guy goes down. Sure, everybody's like, all right, we got

2301
02:07:53,080 --> 02:07:54,560
Speaker 34: to step up. We got a band together.

2302
02:07:55,480 --> 02:07:56,520
Speaker 2: But then.

2303
02:07:57,960 --> 02:08:03,800
Speaker 34: The fact that you lost twenty points and eleven rebounds.

2304
02:08:03,480 --> 02:08:05,680
Speaker 2: And you have uc playing well in their front court.

2305
02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,400
Speaker 34: Yeah, and and they are small. Now that does That's

2306
02:08:09,400 --> 02:08:12,040
Speaker 34: one thing that worries me about this game is they

2307
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:14,840
Speaker 34: are going to try to spread u S out, move

2308
02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:18,960
Speaker 34: the ball and shoot over the top of them. I

2309
02:08:19,000 --> 02:08:21,720
Speaker 34: think it's actually kind of good that they shot the

2310
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:24,320
Speaker 34: way they did against k State because you're not gonna

2311
02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 34: see back to back games that often.

2312
02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:30,880
Speaker 2: Now they are, they're forty percent. U SE's defense is

2313
02:08:30,880 --> 02:08:32,960
Speaker 2: going to be more formidable than Kansas.

2314
02:08:33,240 --> 02:08:36,440
Speaker 34: Sure, And I mean if you can, if you can

2315
02:08:36,960 --> 02:08:41,240
Speaker 34: limit Christian Anderson or you go the other way and

2316
02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:43,760
Speaker 34: you say we're Anderson if he gets thirty, that's cool.

2317
02:08:44,280 --> 02:08:48,040
Speaker 34: But Watt and at well, like, we're gonna we're gonna

2318
02:08:48,080 --> 02:08:51,240
Speaker 34: put a clamp on those guys so that he can

2319
02:08:51,280 --> 02:08:53,520
Speaker 34: have thirty, but they're only going to have fifty eight.

2320
02:08:55,040 --> 02:08:58,120
Speaker 34: That that's going to be the key here. It's it's

2321
02:08:58,160 --> 02:09:01,600
Speaker 34: fascinating to be fun that conversation talking about this team

2322
02:09:01,640 --> 02:09:05,600
Speaker 34: being alive. Yep, considering the way that this is all evolved.

2323
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:09,480
Speaker 2: Tell me what breaks first tonight? Is it the first

2324
02:09:09,560 --> 02:09:13,360
Speaker 2: three game losing streak for Houston since twenty seventeen. For

2325
02:09:13,480 --> 02:09:15,720
Speaker 2: the first time ever, Bill self loses a big Monday,

2326
02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:18,520
Speaker 2: and I believe first time in quite some time they

2327
02:09:18,520 --> 02:09:20,440
Speaker 2: would lose back to back games at Allen Field House.

2328
02:09:21,360 --> 02:09:25,520
Speaker 34: I can't. I can't imagine Houston losing three in a row.

2329
02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:29,440
Speaker 34: It's hard, I can't. The thing that's different to me

2330
02:09:30,440 --> 02:09:33,320
Speaker 34: that we've seen in these last two games is that

2331
02:09:33,360 --> 02:09:35,800
Speaker 34: their guards haven't made shots late. That is what has

2332
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:40,800
Speaker 34: elevated Houston over this you know, six seven year run.

2333
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:44,080
Speaker 34: Is it felt like they always had guards late in

2334
02:09:44,200 --> 02:09:47,680
Speaker 34: games final two to three minutes that just hit backbreaking.

2335
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:50,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's not the Hohome losses. They lost to

2336
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:52,120
Speaker 2: two of the top five teams in the country right

2337
02:09:52,200 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 2: in back to back games, So I mean they're three

2338
02:09:55,800 --> 02:09:57,360
Speaker 2: and now you get to go to fog out right

2339
02:09:57,640 --> 02:10:00,720
Speaker 2: off a loss on bi Monday.

2340
02:10:01,040 --> 02:10:05,400
Speaker 34: This league is incredible, crazy, it's it's and kudos to

2341
02:10:05,480 --> 02:10:08,840
Speaker 34: whoever did the scheduling because we're getting two a week.

2342
02:10:09,040 --> 02:10:11,480
Speaker 2: We're getting Monday four caliber games.

2343
02:10:11,280 --> 02:10:14,600
Speaker 34: And Saturday final four caliber games for it feels like

2344
02:10:15,320 --> 02:10:18,640
Speaker 34: a month now that every Monday night at nine o'clock,

2345
02:10:18,680 --> 02:10:23,040
Speaker 34: you know there's going to be an elite basketball game on.

2346
02:10:24,640 --> 02:10:26,640
Speaker 34: It's been and they got to get rid of ACC

2347
02:10:26,840 --> 02:10:30,720
Speaker 34: on Big Monday, like ACC at seven that's out. Yeah,

2348
02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:33,520
Speaker 34: well can we go too, big Big game Monday on Monday?

2349
02:10:33,760 --> 02:10:35,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm down with that. I'm in.

2350
02:10:36,320 --> 02:10:36,480
Speaker 11: Uh.

2351
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:39,480
Speaker 2: Miami wins. They move up to twenty one in the

2352
02:10:39,480 --> 02:10:41,960
Speaker 2: AP They actually dropped two spots in the coaches poll.

2353
02:10:42,480 --> 02:10:46,560
Speaker 2: Xavier with another tough loss red spring training action. It's

2354
02:10:46,640 --> 02:10:51,720
Speaker 2: combine week. Olympic gold medal. What an unbelievable event with

2355
02:10:51,800 --> 02:10:54,120
Speaker 2: men hockey.

2356
02:10:54,760 --> 02:10:58,800
Speaker 34: We got the women's figure skating gold and we got

2357
02:10:58,840 --> 02:11:01,880
Speaker 34: the both hockey goals. Yeah that should count for more

2358
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:03,960
Speaker 34: than like that's it, right, Like that's all. We're in

2359
02:11:04,000 --> 02:11:07,040
Speaker 34: the Olympics. We won the Olympics. We won the Olympics. Yes,

2360
02:11:07,120 --> 02:11:13,080
Speaker 34: like that's I'm not concerned with really anything else activities. Yeah,

2361
02:11:13,120 --> 02:11:16,800
Speaker 34: but that's that's for the Nordic countries. Correct cross country skiing.

2362
02:11:17,040 --> 02:11:23,440
Speaker 34: Could you imagine skiing ten thousand kilometers while also just

2363
02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,320
Speaker 34: stopping every now and again to shoot and shooting?

2364
02:11:26,440 --> 02:11:29,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no, that's the dumbest crap I've ever heard.

2365
02:11:29,800 --> 02:11:33,560
Speaker 34: Who does that? But yeah, like that's we won the Olympics.

2366
02:11:33,560 --> 02:11:37,040
Speaker 34: We we won the things that mattered. We didn't win curling, right,

2367
02:11:37,120 --> 02:11:39,800
Speaker 34: we didn't win curling, No, but we showed better. But

2368
02:11:40,160 --> 02:11:42,680
Speaker 34: that would be just another thing in that group. Now

2369
02:11:42,760 --> 02:11:46,440
Speaker 34: curling is like that it winter, but you know we

2370
02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:47,040
Speaker 34: didn't cheat.

2371
02:11:47,080 --> 02:11:48,840
Speaker 2: We didn't. They didn't push it and push it. What

2372
02:11:48,880 --> 02:11:51,760
Speaker 2: else you got coming up today? On your own big Monday?

2373
02:11:51,800 --> 02:11:53,800
Speaker 2: My own big Monday, we're gonna do it. Got some

2374
02:11:53,840 --> 02:11:55,840
Speaker 2: Bengals stuff that we're going to get to. It is

2375
02:11:55,920 --> 02:11:59,760
Speaker 2: this shaping up. I keep seeing the mock drafts. Is

2376
02:11:59,800 --> 02:12:03,840
Speaker 2: this spot to trade down today's mock draft? I thought,

2377
02:12:03,880 --> 02:12:06,880
Speaker 2: so we do a mock draft Monday. Today was kind

2378
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:09,560
Speaker 2: of the first day that I've I mean, there's there's

2379
02:12:10,240 --> 02:12:11,160
Speaker 2: I'm willing to listen to it.

2380
02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:14,760
Speaker 34: There's three or four guys. I think that if they

2381
02:12:14,840 --> 02:12:19,000
Speaker 34: fall to you, okay, cool. But it's starting to look

2382
02:12:19,080 --> 02:12:21,920
Speaker 34: like those three or four guys that make the most

2383
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:26,000
Speaker 34: sense are gonna probably go before the Bengals. If you

2384
02:12:26,160 --> 02:12:29,160
Speaker 34: really need as much help as we feel that they

2385
02:12:29,200 --> 02:12:33,120
Speaker 34: need on defense, you could even drop three spots, two

2386
02:12:33,200 --> 02:12:37,160
Speaker 34: or three spots where you're not making a crazy move,

2387
02:12:38,640 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 34: but you still can add some picks. Can add some

2388
02:12:41,320 --> 02:12:42,000
Speaker 34: value if.

2389
02:12:41,920 --> 02:12:43,400
Speaker 2: You can add picks that way, and maybe you find

2390
02:12:43,400 --> 02:12:45,520
Speaker 2: a suitor for Trey Hendrickson for a fourth round pick.

2391
02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:48,520
Speaker 2: Now you're crying more assets. Yeah, I just think, like

2392
02:12:48,560 --> 02:12:49,240
Speaker 2: I do think.

2393
02:12:49,280 --> 02:12:51,480
Speaker 34: I don't think that it should be like unequivocally they

2394
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:54,120
Speaker 34: should trade the pick. But if the board falls the

2395
02:12:54,160 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 34: way that if starting to feel like it might fall.

2396
02:12:57,640 --> 02:12:59,440
Speaker 2: And if they take care of business between now in

2397
02:12:59,480 --> 02:13:00,200
Speaker 2: the draft.

2398
02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,880
Speaker 34: And that's the other thing is what free agency looks like.

2399
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:07,120
Speaker 34: But and then the AFC North, like what I keep

2400
02:13:07,160 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 34: reading up on it, Boy, everybody's high on jesse mentor

2401
02:13:11,640 --> 02:13:14,280
Speaker 34: I don't think anybody really has a great feel for Pittsburgh,

2402
02:13:14,280 --> 02:13:17,360
Speaker 34: doesn't have a great field for Cleveland. Like this is

2403
02:13:18,280 --> 02:13:20,680
Speaker 34: the iron is hot, The iron is going to be

2404
02:13:20,720 --> 02:13:21,960
Speaker 34: hot this year for the Bengals.

2405
02:13:21,960 --> 02:13:24,800
Speaker 2: They have to take advantage of it. Reds, will you

2406
02:13:24,840 --> 02:13:28,400
Speaker 2: spend time this afternoon on the Bearcats? Yes, yes, Kean's

2407
02:13:28,400 --> 02:13:31,280
Speaker 2: going to join me. Kegan Austin, correct me if I'm wrong.

2408
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:33,160
Speaker 2: Keigan didn't seem to think there was a path to

2409
02:13:33,240 --> 02:13:34,920
Speaker 2: victory on Saturday, and we talked to him last week.

2410
02:13:34,920 --> 02:13:37,000
Speaker 2: I didn't either. You didn't either. Oh, I was all in.

2411
02:13:37,840 --> 02:13:39,680
Speaker 2: That's Tony and you actually believed it.

2412
02:13:39,760 --> 02:13:42,960
Speaker 3: In Tony's defense, he actually does believe the crazy stuff

2413
02:13:43,000 --> 02:13:44,879
Speaker 3: he says when it comes to Bearcats basketball.

2414
02:13:45,840 --> 02:13:50,080
Speaker 34: I think he lies to himself. I think he lies

2415
02:13:50,120 --> 02:13:50,600
Speaker 34: to himself.

2416
02:13:50,600 --> 02:13:54,200
Speaker 2: Austin, All right, Chad Brendle is next in for Moegar.
