It's been a while since 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: we've chatted with you. I know you were lounging on 8 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: the beach there for a little bit. I was. 9 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, coming back to this, she was 10 00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,200 Speaker 2: really tough. You talk about retiring. That sounded good while 11 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 2: I was down there, But there's no end in sight here. 12 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 2: We're not stopping any time since Oh no, no, the 13 00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 2: baby's got to get shoes'. 14 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: That's the bad thing about going to nice weather places 15 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,840 Speaker 1: this time of year, because you come back and it's 16 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,239 Speaker 1: like this. 17 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: I know, it's really cool, Thank goodness for the sun. 18 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: Though I can come to tolerate it if sunny. If 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 2: it's just gloomy and forty or drizzle and forty, that's 20 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 2: way worse than this. 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: To me, I agree with the one hundred percent. As long 22 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: as the sun's out makes it makes it tolerable. But uh, 23 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 3: the last last night, Tom, did you watch the National 24 00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 3: Championship game and do you have any thoughts? 25 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:21,119 Speaker 2: I did watch it, Okay, so I'm really happy for Indiana. 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 2: I did, and I'm glad they won because I thought, 27 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: you know, this is this feels like a fate all company, right, 28 00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: they needed to do this. 29 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 4: But I also was kind of rooting against Miami. Is 30 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 4: that bad? 31 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: Does that mean that that's honest? 32 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,759 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people were really Yeah. 33 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: I think I didn't like the hits they were putting 34 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 2: on the quarterback. I thought was kind of dirty. 35 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: I thought they got away up from the. 36 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think. You know, it's been an interesting it's 37 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 4: interesting to watch, kind of like the rest of between 38 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 4: the NFL and. 39 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 2: That game less, I like what's been going on. And 40 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 2: then we had Joe Burrow tweet about all that stuff 41 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: last night that caused an uproar in the middle of 42 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 2: the game. 43 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:05,040 Speaker 4: That was fun. 44 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 2: But the game last night I thought was was actually 45 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 2: really good. And at the end, I thought, Okay, Indiana 46 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 2: is trying to give it away. I mean, one of 47 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,359 Speaker 2: the least penalized teams, and here they were making mistakes 48 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: left and right, and I thought they're trying to lose 49 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: this game. 50 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: They're going to give it up, and then they didn't. 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: I was I was really happy. I know a lot 52 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,639 Speaker 4: of kids in this area went to IU. 53 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: I worked with a lot of IU has a good 54 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 2: journalism program, so a lot of our producers are from IU. 55 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: So if you've noticed on w CPO nine the last 56 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 2: couple of weeks, I've been mentioned quite a bit leading 57 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 2: up to the national championship, and it's because they write 58 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: the stories. 59 00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 4: So yeah, they're they're leaning in on that one. 60 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 2: But I was really happy for all those folks because 61 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 2: can you imagine going to IU. You really haven't had 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,520 Speaker 2: much to hear for the last couple of decades. 63 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 1: So this was period well rocket besides basketball obviously, but 64 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: a rocket agree not that much with them. The football 65 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: problem with the football program, yeah rocketed. 66 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 3: Here's a stat tany on October fifteenth of twenty twenty two, 67 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 3: IU became the first D one program to reach seven 68 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 3: hundred losses and they were the losiness program in college 69 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: football until like a year ago, I think it was 70 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: at Northwestern. I ever took them, and so yeah, they 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: go from that seven hundred something losses to the national 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 3: title in a couple of years, it's awesome. 73 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, and I've heard this and I don't know 74 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 2: if it's true. You boys would no better than I, 75 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: but that U see turned away Signetti saying he didn't 76 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: have enough experience as a head coach. 77 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 3: That's correct. 78 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,960 Speaker 1: See is that the reason I've heard you and what 79 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: they're talking about. I had never read any now reasons 80 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: why now? 81 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 3: To be fair, you know, and again, obviously be fair, 82 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 3: go ahead. Hindsight is twenty twenty. But I think sure 83 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: there would have been a lot of Bearcat fans had 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 3: they hired Kurt Signetti. And this is back when no 85 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,760 Speaker 3: one knew And I said, wait a minute, we just hired 86 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 3: a coach from James Mattison who's been in the FBS 87 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 3: one year. They've been an FCS program for most of 88 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: their tenure in college football. We hired him. Well, and 89 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: that's of course what an athletic director and a hiring 90 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 3: staff must overlook. And I will say this too, I 91 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: don't know if Kurt Signetti happens at a at a 92 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: more blue blood school, because the scrutiny it would be 93 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: so fierce, you know, at a at a bigger program 94 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 3: where in Indiana they're like, well, no one gives a 95 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: damn anyway, so let's let's try this, right. They were 96 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 3: able to kind of roll the dice and go with 97 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: the gut instinct and try it, where other programs it 98 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 3: would a little bit harder, and maybe you see was 99 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 3: one of them. 100 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 4: I don't know. 101 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 2: Come on, we had a good run under Luke Fickle obviously, 102 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: which prior to that, you see, I mean, you couldn't 103 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 2: give away tickets to UC Beartay game before Luke. 104 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 4: Sickle showed up. 105 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: And I think that, with all due respect to coach Satterfield, 106 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 2: when he was hired, everyone was like, what why would 107 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 2: you do that? 108 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 4: So it's the same sort of like huh yeah kind of. 109 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 2: But I know he came from Louisville, even though Louisville was, 110 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: at least according to my friends own, they were trying 111 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: to get rid of them when we hired him. So 112 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 2: I don't know, so Signetti, we could have had Signetti. 113 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: We did it to Rocks Point though, too. He is 114 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: they are a big ten school, so it's it's a 115 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 1: little easier to get these nil guys to come in 116 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 1: there and draw on that game. 117 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 3: And they were also going through the transition. I'm going 118 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 3: from you know, a group of five team to a 119 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 3: big twelve team. So that was right, Yeah, it would 120 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: have been quite as seamless as it happened in Indian either. 121 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: It was clear to me that his winning formula, at 122 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: least as far as like what kind of players he attracted, 123 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: were players who were kind of fifty or six year seniors. 124 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 2: So do you see that replicating itself across you know, 125 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: college football now, like people going, I want to do 126 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 2: what Signetti did here. 127 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 3: That is a fantastic observation, Tanya, and I think you're 128 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 3: absolutely right, and the answer is yes. The average age 129 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: of a player on Indiana's football team was twenty three 130 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 3: years old. That's the average NFL team, right, that's an 131 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 3: NFL team. Yes, So well you see that more in 132 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 3: the future, yes, and that's going to that's going to 133 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: you know, change a lot of things when it comes 134 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: to high school recruiting. You know, like colleges are like 135 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 3: Indiana version, we're plucking more kids out of the portal 136 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: that played in college than they are out of high school. 137 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 3: Why because you get an older like like what usually 138 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: wins like an older man or like a younger man, right, 139 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,799 Speaker 3: somebody who's eighteen or twenty three, someone who has experience, 140 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 3: whose body is now fully developed. And credit curse Signetti 141 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 3: for recognizing that and using the modern ways of assembling 142 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 3: a roster that you couldn't have done five years ago. Right, 143 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 3: he's able to now implement that. We now we can 144 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,680 Speaker 3: get older, more experienced players here and make that the 145 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 3: bulk of our team. He did it. 146 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 2: Okay, so he used the system properly. But can I 147 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 2: just also state that I think this system really is 148 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 2: broken and needs to be fixed because we're no longer, 149 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: as you just mentioned, we're talking about men playing football here. 150 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: We're not talking about college students playing football anymore. Sure, 151 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,239 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the guy who was the quarterback 152 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,320 Speaker 2: for Miami is like, yeah, I graduated two years ago. 153 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 4: Now I know Joe Burrow did that too, But you know, 154 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,680 Speaker 4: we're now at a point where, like I think, what a. 155 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 2: High state has like thirty six open positions on its team? 156 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: Ohigh state a blue blood you talk about bluelood organization, 157 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 2: But all these kids are in the portal and they're 158 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 2: all just looking for more money or a coach major 159 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: who won't be as hard on them, or whatever they're 160 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 2: looking for. 161 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 4: But This has to be utterly exhausting for these schools 162 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: and coaches. 163 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,240 Speaker 2: You have to probably have three times the amount of 164 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 2: scouts and stuff. Now it's just trying to sort through 165 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 2: all of this, and it just feels like something needs 166 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 2: to fix fast or college football is going to be 167 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 2: in big trouble in a hurry. 168 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 3: People say that, but I mean the television numbers aren't 169 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 3: out yet, but I know it's going to be big. 170 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 3: I would say, what you get with older players, you 171 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: get a cleaner game. I mean, Indiana, I just saw 172 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,400 Speaker 3: a stout on Twitter. I just passed it up. But 173 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 3: it's like they haven't hadn't lost a fumble and like, 174 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 3: you know, like a twelve hundred snaps kind of thing. 175 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: So you're getting a older players, more experienced players. You're 176 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 3: getting a more well played game, if that makes sense, 177 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 3: you know. And they like that, well, yeah, I agree, 178 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 3: and that'll you know, I think that'll take some time 179 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: to play out. Do people go, well, they're not really 180 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: college players, but they're not NFL players. 181 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: It's so but it's entertaining. 182 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like NFL junior Now, I mean, what is. 183 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 3: What is it remains? 184 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: It's it's really interesting to me, and I really think 185 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,199 Speaker 2: you can go into the portal. You can probably you 186 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: should probably only be able to go once and then 187 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 2: that's it, Like you better make your second choice correctly 188 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 2: or else you got to sit out or something. 189 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: Well. 190 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: Rock Rocket a story last week about how many times 191 00:08:57,840 --> 00:08:59,199 Speaker 1: did the one kid transferred, like. 192 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 3: Seven, he's on seventh school in seven years. 193 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean. 194 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 3: That needs to be done a lot with and I 195 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 3: think I certainly agree with you. I would love to 196 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 3: see a kid get no matter what, no more than 197 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: you know. I think five should be the max under 198 00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:20,520 Speaker 3: unless under some extraordinary circumstances where you get a you know, 199 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 3: you tear a and an a c L or something. Okay, 200 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 3: maybe you get a six year, but a seventh or 201 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 3: more that that seems a little, a little egregious. 202 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: Can I ask one more question? It's an NFL question, 203 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: it's a Bangal question. Yes, how bombed are you me? 204 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: I know I am as a Bengals fan that if 205 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 2: we could have at least been at all decent, we 206 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 2: could have been gone deep into. 207 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 4: The playoffs this year. There is no no team that 208 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 4: I look at that are left. Is that exciting? Like? Wow, 209 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 4: this is a great team. I don't. Maybe I'm wrong there, 210 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: maybe some. 211 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: More you're run and I talked, we had that very 212 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,680 Speaker 1: same discussion Land. We were just talking about, you know, 213 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: we can what ifs, but yeah, they could have they 214 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 1: could have rocked. 215 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 4: Okay. 216 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 2: So then the question becomes, how do the Busno Bills 217 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: fire their coach who's done so well? 218 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know, you know the question I'm asking. 219 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't. They don't think he was ever going 220 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,839 Speaker 3: to get them over the hump. And the Steelers, I think, 221 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: thought the same thing, is what we want to go 222 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 3: to the playoffs every year because if you do, then 223 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 3: then yeah, Mike Tomlin is our coach, you know. But 224 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,439 Speaker 3: they they and I'm not sure even know if I 225 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:34,959 Speaker 3: agree with them, but they don't feel like he was 226 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: a guy that was ever going to get them past that. 227 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: I think Buffalo thought the same thing. It's it's not 228 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: just good enough for us to go to the playoffs, 229 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,400 Speaker 3: even go deep in the playoffs. We we want we 230 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: feel like we got certainly the quarterback and some elements 231 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 3: of our roster where we can have a legitimate shot 232 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,319 Speaker 3: at winning a a championship. And they didn't think McDermott 233 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 3: was a guy to do that. And I also heard 234 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 3: a report that McDermott in a kind of an end 235 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 3: of the year meeting with the GM and the owner 236 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 3: expressed that, hey, I don't I don't think we have 237 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 3: like our talent is as good as it needs to be. 238 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 3: And I think they they kind of bulked that a 239 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 3: little bit, like you telling us, what. 240 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,559 Speaker 2: Okay, if you're a Bengal player, if you're if you're 241 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 2: a guy who is on the roster for the Bengals, 242 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: how should you be feeling right now looking around? 243 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: What what do you mean in what regard. 244 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:31,320 Speaker 2: So all these other teams that got further than you were, 245 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 2: Like all you are out of here because it's not 246 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 2: good enough. 247 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 4: You're not doing a good enough job. And Bengals are 248 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 4: saying we're good enough. 249 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 2: We got the talent inside the locker room, We got 250 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: the talent inside the building to get us to the 251 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 2: Super Bowl. 252 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: Does does Joe Burrow think that? 253 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't think he does. 254 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 3: I don't think he does at all. I think that's 255 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 3: why he keeps, you know, making you know, kind of 256 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: comments and you know, like, hey, we gotta we gotta 257 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,200 Speaker 3: get better here, And he shouldn't feel I don't feel 258 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 3: like this is this is a roster that obviously obviously 259 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 3: it's not a roster that I can go to a 260 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: you can go to a super Bowl, and it needs 261 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 3: to get better, and hopefully it does. 262 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: I think I'm gonna switch from news to sports.
