00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty. Thanks for listening today. Hope you're having like

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: the greatest Wednesday of all time. You will hear from

8
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco now here is the true litmus test. So

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: we're back on like a normal schedule. Because Bengals play

10
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: on Sunday. It's a one o'clock game. Joe Flacco has

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: gotten his bearings and then some. So the quarterback of

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: the team, whether it's Joe Burrow, Jake Browning or Joe

13
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 1: Flacco during a normal game week, is supposed to talk

14
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: at three point fifteen on Wednesday. Now well established. Joe

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: Burrow never on time, but that's cool because he's Joe Burrow.

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: Jake Browning never on time. That's not excusable because if

17
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna be late, at least be good. Jake Browning

18
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: was neither good or on time. Joe Flacco so far,

19
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: has been good. Today we find out is he on

20
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: time for his Wednesday press conference. Assuming he is, he'll

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: join us at and they're not gonna join us, You're

22

34
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: with Chris Albright, the general manager GEORVC Cincinnati, and today.

35
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean it. I said I was gonna have him yesterday.

36
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Then I realized I goofed and wrote down the wrong day.

37
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: So he is going to join us at four oh five.

38
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,959
Speaker 1: We'll go to Kansas City, Big twelve Media days happening

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: right now, women's basketball yesterday, men's basketball today. Wes Miller

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: talked earlier today. You'll hear some of that. Scott Springer's

41
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: gonna join us at four to twenty and Danny Canal

42
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: talk some college football, some Bearcats, some buck Guys, some

43
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: Hoosiers and more coming up at five oh five. So

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is here, and the offense has performed better,

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: and there is this surge of optimism that I love.

46
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: It started with the second half of the Green Bay

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: game and it continued through the Pittsburgh game. And it's fun,

48
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: like to Joe Flacco's story is a fun one. It

49
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: was fun in Cleveland two years ago. Dude was on

50
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,119
Speaker 1: his couch. Guy shows up, helps get to the team

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 1: to the postseason. Joe Flacco being sort of cast aside

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 1: in Cleveland for Dylan Gabriel being traded to an intro

53
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: division rival and coming to Cincinnati and at least briefly

54
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: maybe longer, having a resurgence is terrific. So hopefully it continues.

55
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: We will see. But what has to happen for him

56
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: to help this team stay in the hunt at least

57
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,920
Speaker 1: until mid December. It's going to need some help from

58
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,839
Speaker 1: the defense. Here's my question for you throughout the course

59
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 1: of the afternoon. Who's the Joe Flacco of the Bengals

60
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: defense now? Trey Hendrickson. Zach Taylor today said is going

61
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: to be listed as limited if he practices today at all,

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: called him day to day. Trey Hendrickson may play and

63
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: may play well. Somebody else has to get after the

64
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: quarterback with some consistency. Who's it going to be? Is

65
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: it going to be Shamar Stewart answer was no on Thursday?

66
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: Is it going to be Miles Murphy or Joseph Osai

67
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: or one of the interior defensive linemen like there has been.

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: The Bengals have been on a quest to improve their

69
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: pass rush now for a while that quest continues. This

70
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: defense goes nowhere. If that doesn't improve, how does it improve?

71
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: From the answers within, If it doesn't improve. At the

72
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: end of the day, whether it's Joe Flacco or Joe Burrow,

73
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: isn't this team's potential limited? That amazing sports talk radio

74
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 1: topic coming up here in just a bit. We have

75
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,840
Speaker 1: to break early because we are going to assume that

76
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco will be on time. Assuming he is, you'll

77
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: hear him in five and a half minutes on ESPN

78
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

79
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 2: Kay, why Cincinnati, make us the number one preset on

80
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 2: your car radio and on the Free knew it improved

81
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio ad Free never sounded so good.

82
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty. It is three point fifteen. This is

83
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,799
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteen thirty. Money, Ames Maegger, thank you for listening.

84
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,960

85
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: It was. It was great, It was, it was great.

86
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: I think the Marconi Awards were handed out last night.

87
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: I was surprised we didn't win, just based on yesterday show.

88
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,280
Speaker 1: If you missed it, Paul Danner Junior was terrific. Sean sayed,

89
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 1: Stats and Schemes newsletter was awesome. Boy, I was very good.

90
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: You could listen to that show on the iHeartRadio app

91
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,839
Speaker 1: podcast of this show our service of Long Neck Sports Grill.

92
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: I ain't no better place to watch the Bengals or

93
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: anywhere anybody else watch anything, college football, Pro football, the

94
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: World Series. You can watch it long next three locations Wilder, Hebron, Richwood.

95
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: Each one of them are awesome, Each one of them great, menu,

96
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,679
Speaker 1: each one of them. Four KTVs all over the place,

97
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: and the sound is always on for the big games.

98
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco is officially one minute late for his press conference,

99
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: but as soon as he steps to the podium or

100
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: the table, it's more of a table down there what

101
00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: used to be called Paul Brown Stadium than we'll have

102
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flack go live for you. As the Bengals he

103
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,720
Speaker 1: had set to take on the New York Jets, who,

104
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: by the way, the Tyrod Taylor is also being listed

105
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: as day to day with a knee issue, and so

106
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: I guess to a degree, the question becomes, would you

107
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 1: rather play against Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor? Now, it's

108
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: interesting that Justin Fields, as bad as he has been,

109
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: it's not like he has thrown a bunch of picks

110
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: this year. It's obviously he failed to win football games,

111
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: has all sorts of issues both running and throwing, or

112
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: at least has this year with the Jets. Tyrod Taylor

113
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: though a world of experience. I don't be honest with you,

114
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 1: I don't care what the Bengals are doing defensively. To

115
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: me is independent of who the quarterback is. Right. The

116
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: inability to get to the quarterback is an issue regardless

117
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: of the actual identity of the quarterback, the inability to

118
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 1: tackle and bring ball carriers to the ground independent of

119
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,039
Speaker 1: whether it's Tyrod Taylor or justin fields. And like this

120
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 1: sounds negative. We were at Oakley Green's yesterday and someone said,

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit of a negative tone, and

122
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 1: I go, absolutely not. Like these things are back on

123
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: the table if they had lost to the Steelers. How

124
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: they play against the Jets and where the pass rush

125
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: comes from is frankly not that relevant. Had they lost

126
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 1: that game to the Steelers, it's are they gonna trade

127
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: Trey hendrickson? Are they gonna move on from any number

128
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: of players who's gonna get fired? How bad might this get?

129
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: How much might the locker room splinter? Should they just

130
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: put Joe Burrow on ice and forget having him come

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: back in December? But they won the game. They won

132
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: the game because Jamar Chase is otherworldly and t Higgins

133
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: is great, and they ran the ball well and Chase

134
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: Brown had a good game, and the offensive line performed

135
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: capably and Joe Flacco played very well and so because

136
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: of that, the season is back on. The season goes

137
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: back off if the defense doesn't get any better. And

138
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: this isn't just about like when they play good offenses,

139
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: good offenses are going to torch them. Do they make

140
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: the Jets better? Joe Flacco's there, Let's go to the table.

141
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,119
Speaker 1: Joe Flatco talking with the Assemble Pro Football Media.

142
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: You know, I have a lot of respects for the

143
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 3: way they play the game, and you know, I know

144
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: it's I know it's a group that'll come ready to play.

145
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 4: So I think you're looking at the league for years

146
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: supposed to playing ketchups.

147
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure.

148
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 3: It was nice to have a little like to be

149
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: able to breathe a little bit this weekend, and you know,

150
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 3: it feels like I was we were just out in

151
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: the practice field and it feels like, you know, I've

152
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 3: barely been there it uh So, Yeah, it's good to

153
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 3: kind of get back in the normal rhythm of a Monday,

154
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 3: Tuesday and now actually going out there in the practice

155
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: field on Wednesday, fielding prepared.

156
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 6: Of a week.

157
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 7: Do you feel like you're operating the way you want to?

158
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 8: You know you're not going to get a full training camp,

159
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 8: but how do you feel like you're out there?

160
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 3: Yes, I mean so far, still learning and trying to

161
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 3: pick up everything, and you know, just play as fast

162
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: and as smooth as I can and using just the

163
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: same I'm going to try to keep my process the same,

164
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 3: you know, and use these walkthroughs and the practices to

165
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 3: get used to calling it and seeing it and you know,

166
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 3: just try to keep keep it at a basic level

167
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 3: and keep going from there.

168
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 9: So much focus hill on you getting accustomed to your weapons,

169
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:42,840
Speaker 9: running backs obviously, the wide receivers, what about the offensive line.

170
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 5: What's that.

171
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 10: You know, getting use to them, playing in front of them.

172
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 5: And like, well, it's been great.

173
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you can tell that those guys

174
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 3: are a hard, hard working group, and I think the

175
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: biggest thing is for those guys to get comfortable with

176
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: each other. And now, you know, the way you get

177
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 3: good at playing with each other is just trust, you know,

178
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 3: trust between everybody. Trust that they're going to do their job.

179
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 3: They have to trust that I'm going to do my

180
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:08,719
Speaker 3: job and get the.

181
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 5: Ball out and.

182
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 3: You know, no, you know, maybe know when we're getting

183
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 3: the ball out and quick game, know when we're maybe

184
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 3: dropping a little bit deeper. I think as long as

185
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 3: everybody can do that and trust each other to do

186
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: their job and not try to get cute and make

187
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 3: up for something here and make up for something there.

188
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: You know, then then we'll grow together and be happy

189
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:27,840
Speaker 3: with it.

190
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 11: Hey, you guys avoid the obligatory letdown game that comes

191
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 11: after a mini by facing a winless team. How do you,

192
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 11: guys keep the moments from going on offense from what

193
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 11: you had in Pittsburgh.

194
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,840
Speaker 3: Just go out and take every day by itself. Prepare

195
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: Wednesday like you always do, Thursday like you always do Friday,

196
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: and then ultimately win the football game. A lot of

197
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 3: that stuff is just talk, and you know, you don't

198
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 3: have to answer it unless you don't go out there.

199
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 3: And you know, unless you don't go, you go out

200
00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 3: there and don't play well. So it's simple. You can't

201
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 3: worry about what the result is at any point, but

202
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: definitely not on Wednesday. He's got to go out there

203
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: and prepare, and then on Sunday, same thing. You got

204
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 3: to go play each play and you know, just keep

205
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: getting up and doing the same thing over and over

206
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 3: again and having the best play that you can possibly

207
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: have in that moment. The results come when you when

208
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: you're able to be in the moment and focus on

209
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: the task at hands.

210
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 9: So your offensive line, have you had a chance to

211
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 9: kind of group with the Orlando and just the kind

212
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 9: of shaking it as well.

213
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 5: Here we are again. I don't know if you've been

214
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 5: able to have that moment yet or a little bit.

215
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because he's very willing to come up to me

216
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 3: and talk about certain things like that and just kind

217
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:47,679
Speaker 3: of ask me how it's been going in Cincinnati. And yeah, so,

218
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 3: like I think he's probably driven that conversation, but we've

219
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 3: been able to talk a little bit about it.

220
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,199
Speaker 4: You mentioned where the game has struggled for the most

221
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 4: part this year before you got here. Suddenly starting to

222
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 4: click a little bit and think which you've done in

223
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 4: the past, game has opened up one game up some

224
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: things for you Thursday.

225
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 10: Night at the Pass game.

226
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 5: It's tough to say it's it's one game.

227
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 3: I do think the Run Game early on in that, Like,

228
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 3: I think initially the Run Game did spark us that

229
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: little that thirty yard run we had and that was

230
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 3: our first scoring drive I believe, and then the next

231
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 3: one we came out and have another little chunk run.

232
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 3: Anytime that you can, you know, get some of those

233
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: games in the Running Game, Uh, it's going to help

234
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: your offense out a lot.

235
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 5: So I think in.

236
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 3: In Thursday's case, the run game definitely helped us out,

237
00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 3: But we just got to you know, like I said,

238
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: we got to just continue to work at it and

239
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: have faith that you know, we're getting better, and you know,

240
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 3: one game doesn't necessarily indicate what the next is going

241
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 3: to be. And and just like I said before about

242
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: you know, the process of it all, I don't think

243
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 3: we can really worry about that. I think we just

244
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: got to continue to work on getting better and and

245
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 3: trust that we're doing the right things and then on

246
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 3: Sundays it'll show up.

247
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 9: Was the biggest way a quarterback can help a run

248
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 9: game my counter two to think of it that way,

249
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 9: But are there way beyond you obviously talking and running

250
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 9: again that way? You know, what are the biggest ways

251
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 9: quarterbacks can help keep a running game efficient?

252
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: Well complete passes when you get the opportunity to do it,

253
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 3: you know, stay ahead of the stakes, you know of

254
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 3: the sticks. You know, first, first and second down, especially

255
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 3: first down. When you have easy completions and and you

256
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: can keep your help self ahead of the sticks, then

257
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,239
Speaker 3: it gives you the chance to be multiple and and

258
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 3: not you know, be kind of forced into being one

259
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: dimensional because you weren't able to do what you were

260
00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 3: supposed to do on early downs. I think that's probably

261
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: the biggest thing. Other than that, maybe I would say

262
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 3: just the just the operation of it all. Get into

263
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage, snap in the ball, having good

264
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 3: rhythm with that.

265
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 5: What do you remember about your growth?

266
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 12: When you were talking about the chemistry of yourself and

267
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 12: the offensive line, is there also a thought that it

268
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 12: looked so good in the last six quarters in the

269
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 12: passing game, you and your chemistry or the receivers. Is

270
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 12: there a thought but that it could be even better

271
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 12: in November, even.

272
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 13: Better in December.

273
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 12: Can that growth continue with your weapons and yourself.

274
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: And your chemistry.

275
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 5: I think you're always as a team.

276
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 3: I think you're always hoping that you're growing as the

277
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: season goes goes on, and I think that shows up.

278
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: In different ways.

279
00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean you're gonna go out there and you know,

280
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 3: throw for three hundred fifty yards and.

281
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,680
Speaker 5: Do all that every week.

282
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 3: But I think as the year goes on, good teams

283
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: find a way to get better and better even though

284
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: they're you know, doing some things well at the moment.

285
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: So I would hope that you know, we continue to

286
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: we can continue to make some strides in all areas.

287
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,119
Speaker 7: Stands with the Jets on pers.

288
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 5: You know, relationships with players kind of like you always do.

289
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: You remember back, you know, being on the field, in

290
00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 3: the huddle with certain guys, and being in the locker

291
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 3: room with certain guys, and you know, there there was

292
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 3: you know, you remember some the good and the bed.

293
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I remember driving home on the Turnpike and

294
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 3: after losing the game and shaking my head and talking

295
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 3: to my family like, you know, what the hell am

296
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 3: I doing?

297
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 5: This is not fun?

298
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: But man, I think most of the time when I

299
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 3: look back at those times, it's you know, being.

300
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 5: In the locker room with the Williams brothers.

301
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 3: And you know, and and and and everybody else that

302
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 3: I kind of got to play with.

303
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 5: Uh in that organization.

304
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 10: Uh.

305
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if I necessarily enjoyed.

306
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,680
Speaker 3: How everything went on the field there, but I'm super grateful.

307
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 5: For my time there.

308
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 3: And it's just one of those times in my career

309
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,160
Speaker 3: that you know, you had to fight through some things

310
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: and kind of get to the next step. But a

311
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of great guys on that team

312
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: and a lot of great memories.

313
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 7: With them, both kind of transition to a different stage

314
00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 7: of your career from being you know, long term starters.

315
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 7: What's kind of the toughest part about making that transition

316
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 7: and kind of being and the teams really.

317
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 14: Want to call on when they need more back.

318
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 3: Oh, when you're out there and you're playing while the

319
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: bullets are flying, you get used to it and and

320
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: and you don't want it any other way. So when

321
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 3: you're in a position where that's not necessarily the case

322
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 3: every week, it can be hard. I think the hardest

323
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 3: part of it is just finding your routine to keep

324
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,320
Speaker 3: your to keep yourself in the right state of mind,

325
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 3: because it can you know, I know the grind of

326
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: being a starter, and I don't want to downplay that,

327
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,920
Speaker 3: but when you're when but when you want to be

328
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 3: the guy and you're not the guy, and uh, you know,

329
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 3: you can you can lose confidence and a lot of

330
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: bad things can happen in your mind. And it's and

331
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 3: it's finding it's trying to find ways to not allow

332
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: that to happen. And it's not very easy when you're

333
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 3: not playing.

334
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 5: When you're starting.

335
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 9: What stood out about Sauce, I mean, I know you

336
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 9: weren't there his rookie year, but what did you get

337
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 9: to know about Sauce and what stands.

338
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 15: Out about it?

339
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were just talking on the way in. Like,

340
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 5: first of all, I thought he.

341
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: Was a great kid, and I think when you're I

342
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 3: think when you draft guys that have good character and

343
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 3: they're good football players, then you got a good chance.

344
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 3: But he's big, he can run, he can use his length,

345
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 3: he's confident.

346
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 12: So I don't know if you realize when you were

347
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 12: dropped into this situation just kind of how much the

348
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 12: team needed something, needed a jolt to get the season

349
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 12: going again. Now that you've had some success, can you

350
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:32,959
Speaker 12: kind of feel a different energy about the group? Can

351
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 12: you kind of feel that you're part of what's making

352
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 12: this difference.

353
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 3: It's tough because I've only been here for a couple

354
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:44,760
Speaker 3: of weeks, and I feel like there has been some energy,

355
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 3: and it was it's only been two weeks, you know, So,

356
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 3: like I think anytime you're on a team, you look

357
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 3: for that positive energy and and you like to feel it.

358
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 3: But I don't want to get ahead of ahead of ourselves.

359
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: I just want to, you know, kind of refocus and

360
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: take it day by day and you know, yeah, hopefully

361
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 3: that builds and builds and builds, but just want to

362
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: kind of focus on doing our job and taking a

363
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: day at a.

364
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,959
Speaker 8: Time before you were bangled, you know, job see new

365
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 8: tomor and t. But kind of looking at the rest

366
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 8: of it as there a guy or system or the

367
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 8: coaches or things that have really just taught your eye

368
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,159
Speaker 8: that maybe you just weren't as aware of before.

369
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 7: You were in the building here.

370
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 3: I think anytime you get to see behind the scenes

371
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,680
Speaker 3: a little bit, it's it's probably different than you thought

372
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 3: from Afar.

373
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 5: I mean, even with the even with those two guys, I.

374
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,439
Speaker 3: Think sometimes you could probably get tricked into thinking like

375
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 3: they're just catching go walls and you know, throwing it

376
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: up and doing random stuff. But they do a lot

377
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: and I think that our coaching staff does find creative ways.

378
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 3: I mean I've just a couple of weeks that I've

379
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: been here, I've seen some new routes and stuff that

380
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 3: I really I don't know if I've ever done before,

381
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 3: and maybe it's not like earth shattering, but it is

382
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 3: kind of unique and interesting way to get some guys

383
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: the football.

384
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 14: So what's impressive the most about.

385
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: I The first thing that jumped out at me about

386
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 3: both of them an Isle. It was just their hands.

387
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: I know it sounds simple, but uh, the way they

388
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: catch the ball, the way they attack the ball when

389
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 3: it's in the air like and then catch the ball

390
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: with their hands, it's very very impressive. When you put

391
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 3: the ball out there, you have confidence that that they're

392
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 3: going to go get it and beat whoever's around them

393
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: to it.

394
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,800
Speaker 9: Other great players and I'm not asking you to rank them,

395
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 9: but who else stands out like that hands wise that

396
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 9: you've played.

397
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 3: With Ankwan Bolden like hands wise, like you know when

398
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 3: when he had people on him and you could throw

399
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: the ball around him and knew that he was going

400
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,200
Speaker 3: to go fight for the football and be able to

401
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 3: catch it with his hands.

402
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 8: You mentioned Orlando being one of the guys that kind

403
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 8: of come up to you, like, are there other guys

404
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 8: had all conversations with and others around the locker room.

405
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:00,720
Speaker 3: Well, I think you're in the room with the quarterbacks

406
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 3: all the time. And you know, I've played with Dalton before,

407
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,959
Speaker 3: so I've had conversations with him. Ted's very willing to

408
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 3: have conversations, so uh yeah, Ted, Ted, Ted's been great.

409
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 3: I think, honestly, in my experience, it's great to have

410
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 3: guys like that that are, you know, not shy at

411
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 3: all about coming up to you and introducing you to

412
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 3: the team and kind of taking you under their wing

413
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 3: a little bit, because it does kind of help you

414
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 3: make relationships with everybody else. They say, hey, come sit

415
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 3: with us. Here's where the old line says, hey, come,

416
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 3: let's go do this. This is what we do during

417
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,360
Speaker 3: this time. And I know I've been around a lot,

418
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 3: but that those kind of things always help.

419
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 8: I think Zach said, like you had five live rests

420
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 8: with jam or something like that, and see.

421
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 10: You guys run, I guess the one road set the

422
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 10: seat out. I mean it looks like for eighty year.

423
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: I mean, what how does that look as natural as

424
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 3: it does when you guys have barely literally know, I've

425
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 3: thrown lots of it outs and He's run caught lots

426
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: of them. And but further, like like I said, I

427
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: think one of the first things I said when you

428
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:06,160
Speaker 3: guys kind of asked me about that was listen, they're

429
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 3: the two He's he and Tier two of the best

430
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 3: at what they do. If you can't find a way

431
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: to put the ball somewhere around them, then uh and

432
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,360
Speaker 3: complete it. Then then we're in trouble, so I'll keep

433
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: it there. It is the truth. I mean, you know,

434
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 3: when you get guys that are good, it's easy to

435
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: read their body language, so you know when they're coming

436
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 3: out of their breaks, so you can really trust your

437
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,879
Speaker 3: footwork and know that it's going to time up with

438
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 3: his and you know that that's what it is.

439
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 12: You talk about them and they're skill set and how

440
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 12: different they are. Was there a moment for you where

441
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 12: you had a realization like these guys are.

442
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

443
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: I mean I feel like I've said it a million

444
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 3: times the Green Bay game, just the way they use

445
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 3: their hands on some of those out routes. Like I

446
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 3: think one of a couple of times I threw jamarro

447
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 3: an out route and he just you know, stuck to

448
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 3: his hands. I mean even this game, they they said

449
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 3: he bobbled the one. He was just switching it from

450
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: like hand to hand, Like he caught that ball and decided,

451
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 3: you know, decided to put in his other hand almost

452
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 3: And then the next thing I would say is like

453
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 3: he took that slant this past week and then went untouched.

454
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: I mean that was but he also like just caught

455
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: it with his hands and ran right through it.

456
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 5: It wasn't even an afterthought.

457
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: It was just seamless, And I think, you know that's

458
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 3: an underrated thing.

459
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: A Right, there you go, Joe Flacco chatting with the

471
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: You never know. By the way, Joe Flacco three minutes

472
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 1: late now, I think within five minutes could be considered

473
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: on time. So we call that on time. Ish. We're

474

478
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,160

482
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: Of course I can, because it's my show. You should

483
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: root for the Dodgers. I'm rooting for the Dodgers. We'll

484
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 1: explain why.

485

Speaker 1: This is ESPN yeah, twenty one from four o'clock. I

497
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: almost just tripped over my headphone cord. This is ESPN

498
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,480
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty. Sports headlines are a service of Kelsey sherwd

501
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: Bengals official injury report is not out yet. It's not out,

502
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: but Zach Taylor today said that Trey Hendrickson is currently

503
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,360
Speaker 1: considered day to day. If he did go today, he'll

504
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: be limited. We will see Aaron Glenn in New York,

505
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: the head coach of the Jets, who are zero to seven,

506
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: says he's not going to tell anybody whose quarterback is

507
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: going to be. Justin Fields got benched. Tyrod Taylor came in.

508
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: Tyrod Taylor apparently has a little bit of an issue.

509
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Doesn't want to give the Bengals a competitive advantage. Now

510
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: they should have a competitive advantage because they're playing the Jets.

511
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: We'll see one o'clock Sunday live on ESPN fifteen thirty.

512
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:34,680
Speaker 1: More tonight on Bengals game Plan from six o'clock until

513
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 1: eight o'clock on ESPN fifteen thirty not a ton of

514
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 1: local sports tetlines. Chris Albright the GMFFC Cincinnati at four

515
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 1: h five, and we'll go to Kansas City, which is

516
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: where Big twelve Basketball media days are happening right now.

517
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 1: Scott Springer is going to join us from Casey at

518
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 1: four twenty. We'll have some Wes Miller audio for you

519
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: a little bit later. On yesterday, we got a phone

520
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: call from our our friend Mike. Mike is arguably our

521
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: most loyal listener, uh and I think inarguably our most

522
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: frequent caller. And Mike's a big Dodgers fan, and he

523
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: called in to talk about the Dodgers. And you know

524
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: how this show works, right, We don't limit you in

525
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: terms of what you know you could talk about, so

526
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: it might not be a topic. Guy, I know anything

527
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: about that's pretty frequent. But he was calling and talking

528
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: about the World Series and the Dodgers, Dodgers and Blue Jays,

529
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 1: and like there's I get how it works, right. Everybody's

530
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: rioting against the Dodgers. I read Paul Daherty's newsletter today

531
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: on substack. You know everybody's written for the blue Jays.

532
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: The blue Jays are in Canada, but they're America's team.

533
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: By the way, the Toronto Blue Jays have the fifth

534
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: highest payroll in baseball. The Toronto Blue Jays spent almost

535
00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars less than the LA Dodgers. But

536
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 1: the Toronto Blue it's not like the Toronto Blue Jays.

537
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: Are you know where their reds were at number twenty two.

538
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: Blue Jays have the fifth highest pay roll in baseball,

539
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: just beneath the Philadelphia Phillies. But sure, the Dodgers go

540
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: past the salary cap threshold. By the way, the Dodgers

541
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,959
Speaker 1: don't have the highest payroll in baseball either. That belongs

542
00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: to the New York Mets, who didn't even make the postseason.

543
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: The Dodgers did. Uh, So there's this anti big market sentiment.

544
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: If the Dodgers win, it's gonna ruin baseball. Like the

545
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: manager of the team has leaned into that, right, Dave Roberts.

546
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 1: Let's win four more so we can really ruin baseball.

547
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: By the way, baseball has not been ruined. Like the

548
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: sport's actually on fire. The owners are gonna lock everybody

549
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: out at the end of next year. But the sport

550
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: is like. Ratings are up, interest is up, attendance is

551
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: up pitchclock has been awesome. Like I am a very

552
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: vocal critic of Rob Manfred the commissioner, but you know

553
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: he forced in the pitchclock. A lot of people didn't

554
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: like it. It's been great. I don't love the fact

555
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: that we've watered down the regular season by adding playoff teams,

556
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,679
Speaker 1: but the wildcard ratings were really good. Baseball postseason ratings

557
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 1: for the most part have been all right. Sports in

558
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: a really good place right now. So if something is

559
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: being ruined, if no one's watching it, you know it's

560
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: every time I college football is being ruined. Really you

561
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,639
Speaker 1: look at the ratings I look at because the ratings

562
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 1: on Saturdays are still awesome and the stadiums are still full.

563
00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: Something is ruined when people stop using it, or consuming

564
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: it or watching it. So, no, Baseball is not being

565
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 1: ruined by the Dodgers. I'm rooting for the Dodgers, and

566
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: I think you should too. Like if you want to

567
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: root against an owner, root for the root against the

568
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: owner who doesn't spend. The Dodgers aren't doing anything illegal.

569
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 1: They're exploiting the rules, and they're exploiting advantages that Baseball

570
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: has decided they get. Blame them.

571
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 13: For doing that.

572
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: If you want to hate an owner, hate the owner

573
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 1: of like the Pirates, who's blatant in his unwillingness to spend.

574
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: Root against the who torpedoed their team while in Oakland

575
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: and then moved it. Root against the teams that never spend.

576
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: Now I know you're going, well, the rads Mo Reds

577
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: had the twenty second highest pay roll in the sport.

578
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: I wish they would spend more. But the biggest issue

579
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: in that sport for me, aren't the owners who spend.

580
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: The biggest issue in that sport are the owners who

581
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: have convinced people we can't spend and so we're not

582
00:29:30,520 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: gonna Those are the owners worth rooting against. I think

583
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 1: the other part of this is, if you want baseball's

584
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: economic model to change, Number one, you're probably rooting for

585
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,400
Speaker 1: a really long lockout. And by the way it's coming,

586
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: it might be a lockout like to one a couple

587
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: of years ago, which didn't touch any regular season games

588
00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: and pushbackspring training for a few weeks and you know,

589
00:29:56,680 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 1: kind of made the offseason really quiet. But that's coming.

590
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 1: Maybe we have a lockout that actually interrupts the season,

591
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 1: cancels games. Maybe it cancels an entire year. But if

592
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: you want baseball's economic model to change, then you want

593
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: the owners to lock the players out and do what

594
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 1: they've never done before, which is forced the players to

595
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: agree to a different way of doing things. I still

596
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: believe it'll be a cold day in hell before that happens.

597
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: But if you want baseball to look inward and go,

598
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: you know what, we've got to do something different than

599
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,040
Speaker 1: what you want. Is there to be this sense of

600
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: inevitability that if you spend like the Dodgers do, you're

601
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: going to win no matter what.

602
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 6: You want.

603
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: There to be a helpless feeling within the sport. My

604
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,320
Speaker 1: team has no chance as long as the economics of

605
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 1: the sport remain the way they are. And the only

606
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: way you get people to feel like they have no

607
00:30:56,080 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 1: chance is for the same team to win. So I'm

608
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: rooting for the Dodgers. Number one. I love Otani, I

609
00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 1: like Freddie Freeman, I like Mookie Bets. More than anything,

610
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: I want a really good series last year's World Series

611
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:15,200
Speaker 1: despite big market versus big market, the games themselves may

612
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: be aside from Game one, and perhaps aside from Game four,

613
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: which is when the idiot Yankees fan tried to keep

614
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: Mooki Bets from catching the ball. The games themselves pretty forgettable.

615
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: Game one was actually awesome, the other four not very memorable.

616
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: But you'll read a thousand columns this week about how

617
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: America should root for the Canada's team because the Dodgers

618
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 1: spend and it's unfair. It may be unfair. I will

619
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: not argue that it may serve the sport better to

620
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,800
Speaker 1: have a different economic model. I will not argue against that.

621
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: But the bigger issue in that sport for me are

622
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: the owners who have money to spend and don't and

623
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: who have convinced large chunks of their fans that it's

624
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: okay to not spend money on your team. Those are

625
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 1: the owners. Those are the teams worth rooting against, not

626
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: the ones that try, not the ones that take advantage

627
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: of advantages that the other owners are willing to give them.

628
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 1: The owners of the teams that don't spend have not

629
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: gotten in the way of the Dodgers having certain economic advantages,

630
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: and by the way, other teams can spend past the

631
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: luxury tax threshold, most teams choose not to, or if

632
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 1: you want, there to be this helpless feeling, which, by

633
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: the way, there was in the late nineties when the

634
00:32:35,320 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Yankees won four World Series in five years. Then what

635
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 1: you really want to set in is the sense that

636
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: nobody in Cincinnati or Milwaukee, or Pittsburgh or Cleveland or

637
00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City has a chance. As long as the Dodgers

638
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: have the advantage that they and the Mets and the

639
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:57,160
Speaker 1: Yankees and a handful of others enjoy, we'll see again.

640
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 1: More than anything, I want great baseball. I think this

641
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 1: World Series is a lot of fun. That Blue Jays

642
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 1: lineup is terrific. The Dodgers starting pitching has been otherworldly.

643
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: That lineup's really good. Uh, Dodgers Stadium will look cool

644
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: during the World Series. I'm not sure the Rogers Center

645
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: or wherever they call what the Blue Jays play and

646
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: is gonna look all that cool. It's old, But I

647
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 1: don't know. Man Like, I don't get angry when teams spend.

648
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 1: If the rules allow them to spend and outspend other teams,

649
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,920
Speaker 1: why should I care fix your sport. It's up to

650
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: the owners to do that. They've never shown a willingness

651
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: to do that, And maybe the only way that it

652
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 1: happens is for a lot of people to feel like

653
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. Teams like the Dodgers are gonna win

654
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: every year regardless. The only way that sets in is

655
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 1: if the Dodgers indeed do win. So there you go,

656
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: reasons for you to root for LA twelve away from

657
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: four o'clock. By the way, I think Dodger's gonna win

658
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,160
Speaker 1: that series in six, which is like the most cop

659
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: out prediction there is. I think they win that series

660
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: in six. We'll see five point three, seven, four, nine,

661
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: fifteen thirty. You could send a tweet at Moeger thanks

665
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: I did not have a chance to watch live, not

666
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,400
Speaker 1: because I was unwilling to pay for Big ten Network Plus,

667
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 1: but our travel to Oklahoma for the football game. We

668
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 1: got in late in the first half, but I've watched

669
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: the game since I'm here for the SHAWNA Bye of experience.

670
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:30,439
Speaker 10: Now.

671
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: They had no answer in the second half for Landenborg,

672
00:34:32,880 --> 00:34:35,160
Speaker 1: who might be the best player in the country. Michigan

Speaker 16: Know that iHeartRadio.

700
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 1: Well, we're not playing any Guys to Heights game one,

701
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson load management for the first game of the season,

702
00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,759
Speaker 1: Karl Anthony Towns is doubtful. Josh Hart hurt his back

703
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 1: and has a bum finger. I haven't played a game yet.

704
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 1: Plus six hundred to win the whole thing. Eastern Conference

705
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: Finals preview tonight Cavs and Knicks, New York laying three

706
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,000
Speaker 1: and a half. I think that line has actually moved.

707
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: I haven't checked. There's your answer. By the way, the

708
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: NBA and NBC last night, if you were a child

709
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: of the nineties, you know, obviously NBC carried all the

710
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: NBA games in the nineties and early two thousands, and

711
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, you think of the NBA and NBC, you

712
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 1: think of Michael Jordan, and you think of the Shaq

713
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:42,439
Speaker 1: and Kobe years, and so last night was the first

714
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: game on NBC since two thousand and two, and they

715
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:48,080
Speaker 1: had a double header last night. The first game of

716
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 1: that doubleheader, the second game Terrence team lost. The first

717
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 1: game of that double header, OKC in Houston was awesome,

718
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: went double overtime, but they played the John Tesh music.

719
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: The two criticisms every criticisms I would have would be

720
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: Number one, if you have Michael Jordan, don't limit Michael

721
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: Jordan to three minutes on your pregame show and Mike Riico,

722
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,840
Speaker 1: do a sit down with Michael Jordan that they're like

723
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: going to cut up and play like three minute bursts

724
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: here and there during the season. Dude, it's Michael Jordan,

725
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: Like that should be your pregame show. Number Two, the

726
00:37:19,600 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: voiceover guy is AI, because the dude who was the

727
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: voiceover guy in the nineties is not with us anymore.

728
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:29,320
Speaker 1: I'm opposed to AI voiceovers. It's creepy. Number Three, everything

729
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 1: was going well until they showed the announcer crew. There's

730
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 1: Mike Tico, who's excellent, There's Jamal Crawford who's terrific, and

731
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: then there's Reggie Miller.

732
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:40,040
Speaker 10: Ill that you're going to Carmelo.

733
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 1: Carmelo Anthony is my guy.

734
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 10: The only one who didn't wear a suit last night.

735
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 1: That good, fine, whatever. Carmelo Anthony is going to be excellent.

736
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer Carmelo Anthony is going to be excellent

737
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: in that role. I don't know why you have to

738
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 1: have a three man booth for basketball. I actually think

739
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: Reggie Miller is a decent analyst. I don't know why

740
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: you need three people for basketball. I'm not sure why

741
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: you need it for football. Don't know why you needed

742
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: for basketball. Chris Halbright f C Cincinnati, GM next.

743
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:16,719

747
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:30,640
Speaker 1: It'll be fun on Monday night. That's the three series

748
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:35,839
Speaker 1: FC Cincinnati and Columbus in the MLS Cup playoffs. The

749
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Orange and Blue wrapping up the regular season with a

750
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: win over Montreal on Saturday, clinching the two seed and

751
00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:47,080
Speaker 1: setting up first round series against the Crew, starts on

752
00:38:47,239 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 1: Monday night at TQL Stadium. That game will start at

753
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 1: six forty five, with Game two in Columbus next weekend

754
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 1: the general manager of FC Cincinnati, and first of all,

755
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,480
Speaker 1: I want to thank him because he was supposed to

756
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:03,239
Speaker 1: join us tomorrow. I thought it was yesterday because I'm

757
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 1: a dope and and I'm off tomorrow, so he was

758
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 1: nice enough to rearrange his schedule. The GM of FC Cincinnati,

759
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 1: Chris Albright, is with us. I appreciate you adjusting things

760
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:14,440
Speaker 1: for us. Chris. It's awesome to have you.

761
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 13: How are you all good man, No worries. I'm just

762
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 13: happy to be on with you.

763
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,280
Speaker 1: It's good to have you. I say this, and you're

764
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: you are free to correct me or confirm. I feel

765
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: like from way back in February when training started until

766
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:34,120
Speaker 1: the end of the transfer window about a month and

767
00:39:34,160 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 1: a half ago, it feels like this has been the

768
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: most influx the FC Cincinnati roster has been since you

769
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: took over. Would that be a fair and accurate assessment?

770
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 13: That is that is confirmed?

771
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 2: I would say the winter window had more drama than

772
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: than we wanted. A lot of turnover. We got through

773
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: the winter window and I thought to myself, well, I'll

774
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: never see a window.

775
00:39:57,000 --> 00:39:57,600
Speaker 13: Like that again.

776
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 2: And then a summer window open, and then and we

777
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 2: added five more guys and moved a few guys out,

778
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,759
Speaker 2: and so I think we're in a good spot now

779
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:07,879
Speaker 2: with our depths and hopefully.

780
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 13: Ready to make her up for it.

781
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know what you did late summer

782
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: felt like, Okay, these moves are specifically for October and beyond.

783
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,319
Speaker 1: You still feel that way, I do?

784
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 13: You know?

785
00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,720
Speaker 2: I think once you see a group together for twenty

786
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 2: five or so games and you're really building around key

787
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 2: pieces in a Vander and Kevin Dankey, you can kind

788
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,239
Speaker 2: of diagnose what you need, but.

789
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 13: You don't want to.

790
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:34,800
Speaker 2: You don't want to just add short term solutions that

791
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:37,200
Speaker 2: you can't build around going forward. So I think we

792
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 2: were able to identify guys that are kind of win

793
00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: now pieces, but also pieces to help us build around

794
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: as we as we move forward.

795
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 1: When when you acquired a Vander, we all knew you

796
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:49,719
Speaker 1: were getting a great player, and we all knew you

797
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 1: were getting a guy that at times, you know, especially

798
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: as as Pat was trying to figure out who was

799
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,919
Speaker 1: going to do what you could lean on because he's

800
00:40:56,920 --> 00:40:59,520
Speaker 1: a star. Aside from what we see, give me an

801
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: idea of what his impact on the club has been on.

802
00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:06,120
Speaker 6: You, You know what, instantly Mo.

803
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:07,840
Speaker 13: He really fit into the group.

804
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 2: You know, you can always kind of gauge the culture

805
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 2: and the atmosphere around the team in the meal room,

806
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 2: and you know, once we got past some of the

807
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 2: drama that we needed to get past and Evander showed up,

808
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,239
Speaker 2: the volume in the meals and preseason was just at

809
00:41:24,280 --> 00:41:27,759
Speaker 2: like an all time high. And so he really did

810
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 2: a great job for being such a special player.

811
00:41:30,400 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 13: Of fitting in with every member of the team.

812
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: Not just guys his own age or guys from South America,

813
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: but literally everyone. And that was really the best compliment

814
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 2: that I could pay him. You see his ability on

815
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 2: the field, but that soft stuff has been really important

816
00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 2: for our group.

817
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: Every week we get on a match analyst or the

818
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,359
Speaker 1: play by play person for your next game from Apple TV,

819
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: either on Thursday or Friday, and over the second half

820
00:41:57,520 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 1: of the season, I think every single week, whether it's

821
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 1: in an analyst, whether it's been a studio host, whether

822
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,440
Speaker 1: it's been a play by play person, all will go

823
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 1: out of their way to mention the job that Pat

824
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 1: Noonan has done with his team. And I've asked a

825
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: few of them, you know, for a guy who has

826
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: been the coach of the Year in this league before.

827
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 1: It feels to me like this was his best individual

828
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 1: coaching job. You've seen them all and you, you and

829
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: Pat are in total alignment. But is the best? Is

830
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 1: this the best job that that Pat Noon has done

831
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: with an individual team? Perhaps?

832
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,480
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's tough to beat a trophy winning season,

833
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 2: and we were we were a point just short of that.

834
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 2: So I know we set really high expectations for ourselves.

835
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,440
Speaker 2: Pat certainly does for himself, but him and his staff

836
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: did an incredible job again pulling all these pieces together, uh,

837
00:42:43,520 --> 00:42:46,360
Speaker 2: you know, figuring out different lineups, injuries. We've had some

838
00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 2: injuries to some key contributors, and I think understanding how

839
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: to use the debts. Those pieces have now played a

840
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 2: lot of minutes so that if they are called upon

841
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: come playoff time, they should be ready. So I say,

842
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,759
Speaker 2: a great job managing the group and has set us

843
00:43:02,840 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: up for success hopefully over.

844
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:05,280
Speaker 13: The next month and a half.

845
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:07,600
Speaker 1: I think if you asked, and your perspective may have

846
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 1: been different. I think if you asked the average FC

847
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati fan going into the postseason last year, it didn't

848
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 1: feel like your club was going into the postseason with

849
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,280
Speaker 1: a ton of momentum. It feels a little bit different

850
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:21,600
Speaker 1: this year, though, I think the Eastern Conference feels more

851
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 1: wide open, although last year it proved to be very

852
00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: wide open once the postseason began. Do you feel like

853
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: your team is better positioned to make a run than

854
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 1: maybe it was a year ago.

855
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:33,160
Speaker 2: I think both things are true. I think we're well

856
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:35,759
Speaker 2: positioned to make a run. I think we're in a

857
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: better place than we were at the end of last year.

858
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:43,080
Speaker 2: Certainly a deeper group, kind of more tools in the

859
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 2: tool belt. But the East is a gauntlet. The bottom

860
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 2: of the East. I think the ninth place team was

861
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 2: like on fifty three points. I mean, I think that

862
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 2: was good for like fourth the last few years. So

863
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 2: I think as deep and as competitive as the East

864
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 2: has ever been in we're certainly up for the challenge.

865
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,440
Speaker 2: I think that's what makes it. It's gonna be a

866
00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 2: really good product for MLS, for TV, for you know,

867
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:08,799
Speaker 2: hopefully the fans to come out and see it live,

868
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,759
Speaker 2: you know, especially with a match up with like with

869
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:15,040
Speaker 2: US in Columbus. But uh, we we're confident in our group,

870
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 2: confident in our in our top end talent and and

871
00:44:17,640 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 2: and sort of the bottom of the roster as well.

872
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 1: Is a playoff series with a rival more fun or

873
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: less fun?

874
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 6: It's uh, it's it's more fun.

875
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: It is it's more you know, the stress and anxiety

876
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,439
Speaker 2: that comes with rivalries and angst, you know, all that

877
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: certainly bubbles to the surface, and whether you enjoy that

878
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 2: or not, I guess that's how you kind of rate,

879
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 2: you know, rate the series. But like I said, it's

880
00:44:44,040 --> 00:44:47,719
Speaker 2: it's I think it's the best rivalry in MLS, which

881
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 2: is really you know, great for the state of Ohio,

882
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 2: great for for FC Cincinnati. Uh, And so I think

883
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a really enjoyable series for for the

884
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:55,960
Speaker 2: average fan.

885
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:58,719
Speaker 1: F C Cincinnati general manager Chris Albright with us FC

886
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: Cincinnati is getting set for Game one of their best

887
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 1: of three series against Columbus at home on Monday night.

888
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 1: The length of this season is extraordinary for folks who

889
00:45:09,680 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: follow other sports. If you guys, go all the way,

890
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: you're going to be playing in early December and then

891
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,800
Speaker 1: like a week later the next you know, the twenty

892
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,240
Speaker 1: twenty six season is going to begin. Conka cav Champions

893
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 1: Cup and all that. What what's on your plate right now? Like,

894
00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 1: what is the general manager of a major league soccer

895
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,520
Speaker 1: team that has a team in the postseason working on

896
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: at the moment, we right.

897
00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: When the window closes, what we try to do is

898
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,319
Speaker 2: kind of turn our eyes internally to the rest of

899
00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 2: the organization. So whether that's SCC two MLS, next pro,

900
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 2: you know, our second team, whether that's kind of continuing

901
00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:46,680
Speaker 2: to build out our academy and improve our academy, you know,

902
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,160
Speaker 2: those kind of things right as the window closes, and

903
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 2: then shortly after you kind of address some of those

904
00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 2: key items you're we're on the next season. You know,

905
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: we're already trying to make guesses on uh, you know,

906
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 2: some some salary up calculations and what pieces will will

907
00:46:03,800 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 2: be around, what pieces won't, what additions we need.

908
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

909
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,879
Speaker 2: You know, we have scouts internationally that are already out

910
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 2: watching games. So our attention, you know, for sort of

911
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 2: me and my guys very quickly goes on to twenty

912
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:16,879
Speaker 2: twenty six.

913
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: What's match night like for you? What are you doing?

914
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 2: What am I doing on match night? Angsting with all

915
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 2: the fans is what I would say. Basically, I'm like,

916
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,360
Speaker 2: I'm like everybody in the bailey biting their nail nails

917
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:34,160
Speaker 2: for ninety minutes.

918
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 13: No that's day's that's day's great.

919
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 5: Now.

920
00:46:37,239 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 2: Look, I try to I try to be supportive to

921
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: the coaches. I try to have little conversations with players

922
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 2: here and there, but ultimately a lot of you know,

923
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 2: the work that we've done in my part of the

924
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: of the houses should be done come match.

925
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:51,920
Speaker 13: Day and try to enjoy it.

926
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 2: I'm enjoying it more as the years go by, and

927
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,560
Speaker 2: maybe angsting left, so that's probably good for my health.

928
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can relate to that. It's been a terrific year.

929
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: Best of luck on Monday and over the course of

930
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 1: the next five or six weeks. It's been fun to

931
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: watch your team this year and a lot of moving parts,

932
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:12,319
Speaker 1: a lot of drama, but it's been fun to watch

933
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: and hopefully it continues until early December. I can't thank

934
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 1: you enough. Always awesome to have you, and again I

935
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:19,000
Speaker 1: appreciate you adjusting your schedule.

936
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 13: No worries. Well, had you liked your knicks tonight or no?

937
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: I like my knicks, you know. Yeah, my teams are

938
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: orange and blue. So we got to beat the Calves,

939
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 1: get the season off to a good start, and then

940
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: you guys carry the orange and blue, you know, thing

941
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 1: moving forward?

942
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 10: On Monday. All right, I like it.

943
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 13: Good luck man?

944
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 1: All right? Likewise, Chris Albright, general manager, FC Cincinnati the

945
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:45,160
Speaker 1: Orange and Blue. The soccer Orange and Blue home on Monday,

946
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: Game one, best of three series against Columbus at six

947
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:52,920
Speaker 1: forty five on Monday evening at TQL Stadium. It's Quota

948
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 1: Eph for four. It is remarkable the job he is done.

949
00:47:56,360 --> 00:48:00,680
Speaker 1: And he and Pat Nowon in both remember the first

950
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:03,200
Speaker 1: time we had him on and look, man, take it,

951
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:05,040
Speaker 1: you know, with a grain of salt when it comes

952
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 1: to me giving you the nuts and bolts of soccer.

953
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,520
Speaker 1: I've always been transparent about that. But like the first

954
00:48:10,560 --> 00:48:14,440
Speaker 1: few years of MLS play, it just it felt like instability.

955
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:18,520
Speaker 1: It didn't always feel professional. It felt like there wasn't alignment.

956
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:20,360
Speaker 1: And I remember the first time I talked to that

957
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 1: guy going, I think they have like a legitimate soccer executive.

958
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,719
Speaker 1: I think they just became a real Major League soccer franchise.

959
00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: And job he has done, job Pat Neuter has done

960
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:34,239
Speaker 1: has been awesome and I hope it continues. All month.

961
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: A lot of folks got antsy when they saw, man,

962
00:48:38,560 --> 00:48:41,200
Speaker 1: we're gonna play Columbus. We'll see. Should be fun, should

963
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,319
Speaker 1: be fun again Monday Night game one best of three.

964
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: Speaking of fun, is the UC basketball season gonna be fun? Because, frankly,

965
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 1: last year was not. Scott Springer's the Big twelve media

Speaker 18: Bell Cara Park on ESPN fifteen thirty of the Cincinnati Bankball.

980
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:50,520
Speaker 1: Chase AFC Offensive Player of the Week for the fifth

981
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: time in his career. He was awesome against the UH

982
00:49:54,719 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: Steelers and Cedric Johnson cleared to practice. Second year player

983
00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,320
Speaker 1: was a designated for return from IR back on August

984
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 1: twenty sixth, with a CAF injury twenty one day period

985
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 1: where he can practice with the team without accounting against

986
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 1: the fifty three man roster and eligible to be activated

987
00:50:11,080 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: to the roster at anytime during that period. I think

988
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:16,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals pass rush issues have been solved. Cedric Johnson's

989
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:19,760
Speaker 1: been cleared. Big Twelve media days are happening in Kansas

990
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: City as we get closer and closer to the college

991
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,879
Speaker 1: basketball season. Scott Springer is there in Casey covering Big

992
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,640
Speaker 1: twelve media days for the Cincinnati Inquirer and Cincinnati dot Com,

993
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 1: and he joins us now.

994
00:50:31,600 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 19: Hi, Scott, Hey, I'm court site here at the funky

995
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,920
Speaker 19: court with the Remneuverbles twelve all over the place that

996
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 19: makes you dizzey on TV.

997
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: So that was going to be my first question the

998
00:50:43,000 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: Big Twelve Tournament this year. Will there'll be a new floor?

999
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 1: It feels like the answer is going to be no, unless.

1000
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 19: So getting rid of this one because it's certainly back

1001
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 19: out here right now they're actually cleaning up because things

1002
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:58,160
Speaker 19: are wrapping up. Houston's Calvin Sampson is about ready to

1003
00:50:58,200 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 19: take his team up top and do the thing on

1004
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 19: the big stage. But they're they're winding down team wise.

1005
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 19: There's a morning session and afternoon session the Bearcats for

1006
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:10,800
Speaker 19: this morning, Baylor was this afternoon. Got a chance to

1007
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,319
Speaker 19: talk to Dan Skillings Junior and a lot of dignitaries

1008
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:21,240
Speaker 19: around here. Your Seth Davis's, your Clark Kellogg's, Brian Thornton,

1009
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 19: who works for the Big twelve used to play player,

1010
00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 19: Xavier big Fellow, famous people, Brett Urram Mark the commissioner,

1011
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,960
Speaker 19: and then there's guys that snuck in like.

1012
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:34,600
Speaker 1: Me, how's Dan Skillings doing? Because I'm gonna guess he

1013
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520
Speaker 1: scores like one hundred points when Baylor plays.

1014
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:42,160
Speaker 19: You see, I know they had an exhibition against Grand Canyon,

1015
00:51:42,239 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 19: and I believe he had a double double in that one.

1016
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 19: He as well, he's not here anymore, so I can see.

1017
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 19: He told someone that he maybe thought he should have

1018
00:51:52,960 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 19: red shirted last year. So who knows, I don't know.

1019
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:58,799
Speaker 19: I mean, he he did miss some time. You know,

1020
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 19: you go back to the first Villanova loss. He did

1021
00:52:02,239 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 19: not play in that one. I think he came back

1022
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,240
Speaker 19: and then he did play against Savior had a decent

1023
00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 19: game against them. You know, we all thought the same thing.

1024
00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 19: It just he didn't appear to have his heart in it.

1025
00:52:14,640 --> 00:52:17,360
Speaker 19: In my opinion, I think he's as good as he

1026
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,400
Speaker 19: wants to be if he gets rejuvenated in Waco, so

1027
00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:24,719
Speaker 19: be it. I know he dates a UC dance team members.

1028
00:52:24,960 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 19: He's always been nice to me. He was gracious today,

1029
00:52:28,040 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 19: said some good things. So I don't hold anything against him.

1030
00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:36,720
Speaker 19: And you know, frankly, everyone you get to the transfer portal,

1031
00:52:36,760 --> 00:52:38,719
Speaker 19: you lose a few guys, you're going, oh my god,

1032
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:40,279
Speaker 19: what we're gonna do. We we'll have a team. We'll

1033
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 19: have a team.

1034
00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:41,040
Speaker 13: Next thing.

1035
00:52:41,080 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 19: You know, you got a ross that might be even

1036
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 19: better than what you had before. So it certainly is

1037
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 19: interesting in this era where you're just flipping teams every year.

1038
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:54,840
Speaker 1: No question about that. They're pick to finish eighth. That

1039
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:58,640
Speaker 1: that feels, I guess about, right, what do you think?

1040
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 6: Yeah?

1041
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 13: I don't know.

1042
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:05,120
Speaker 19: I think what I sent in was maybe seventh, but yeah,

1043
00:53:05,120 --> 00:53:07,799
Speaker 19: somewhere in the middle. But you don't know. I mean,

1044
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:11,280
Speaker 19: obviously at the Toppers Houston, there's a bunch of teams

1045
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,640
Speaker 19: that are that are highly ranked. Iowa State it's always

1046
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 19: going to be good. I think that guy's a really

1047
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 19: good coach. You still got the Kansas and the Kansas States.

1048
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 19: I think Kansas is better supposed that Kansas State is

1049
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 19: better than they were.

1050
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1051
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 19: Again, you're talking about rosters that you don't really know.

1052
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:31,600
Speaker 19: You know, it used to be, you know, you and

1053
00:53:31,680 --> 00:53:34,800
Speaker 19: I way back when Great Midwest or whatever. You knew

1054
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:38,960
Speaker 19: that De Paul had had, the Clinschmidt, you knew who

1055
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 19: Marquette had, and you knew who every team had, and

1056
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:48,760
Speaker 19: that's no longer. Having said that, you look at uc playing.

1057
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 19: I certainly liked what I saw the other night. On

1058
00:53:51,360 --> 00:53:53,760
Speaker 19: the other hand, you don't want to get too crazy because,

1059
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,959
Speaker 19: like I've told you, the best game they played last

1060
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:01,200
Speaker 19: season was the exhibition against Ohio State. So you got

1061
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 19: Arkansas coming up on Friday. I know Jalen Celestine is

1062
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 19: supposed to get some minutes and that one, so when

1063
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 19: you get a look at him, I don't know if

1064
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,640
Speaker 19: you're going to see Haines this year or not. If

1065
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 19: you do, it's going to be later in the year.

1066
00:54:13,239 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 19: And the other kid, Lucas Attari, I don't know what

1067
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:19,719
Speaker 19: his situation is, not medically cleared. I don't know how

1068
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 19: long that is, but you know, you look at what

1069
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 19: you saw the other night, and it was interesting, and

1070
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 19: everybody played. Everybody played double digit minutes, and in my opinion,

1071
00:54:31,239 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 19: Michigan was trying to win that game. Late in the

1072
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 19: game they played the Lindenborg, you know, thirty one of

1073
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 19: the forty minutes.

1074
00:54:38,719 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 1: So that was going to be kind of my next question, because.

1075
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 19: I'm here to steal your questions.

1076
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,880
Speaker 1: That's good, that's good. That means they're good questions. So

1077
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 1: understanding that a lot of us put the Bearcats in

1078
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 1: the Final four after they played the way they did

1079
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 1: against Ohio State, and maybe we should take exhibition performances

1080
00:54:54,640 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: and results with a grain of salt. What was the

1081
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: big takeaway from how they played against the Wolverines.

1082
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 19: I think the first half talking to some staffers, they

1083
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,640
Speaker 19: were playing exactly the way they had hoped to play.

1084
00:55:08,680 --> 00:55:10,959
Speaker 19: They liked the transition game, you're getting up and down,

1085
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 19: the defense that you saw out of Buck Harris, and

1086
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 19: they got Kirk Cries excited about playing defense, and you

1087
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,160
Speaker 19: know he's more of an offensive mind, but.

1088
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:22,120
Speaker 5: He looked good.

1089
00:55:22,160 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 19: Shawn Abaya, I saw him at overtime Elite last year,

1090
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,919
Speaker 19: and he was dominating high school kids, and he looked

1091
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,960
Speaker 19: about the same to me. But on the other hand,

1092
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:32,319
Speaker 19: I've told people, if you ever saw a game at

1093
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 19: overtime Elite, it's not like going to your typical wood

1094
00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 19: and bleach your gym. I mean, that's showtime glamer and

1095
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 19: glitz and scoreboards and all sorts of things. So the

1096
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,840
Speaker 19: ten thousand plus at Chrysler Arena, I don't think it

1097
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 19: faced him a bit. So I think that's what they expected.

1098
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:52,959
Speaker 19: Then in the second half, you know, Michigan's preseason number

1099
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 19: seven for a reason, so they were going to come back.

1100
00:55:55,719 --> 00:56:01,040
Speaker 19: I saw the interview at the halftime with May the coach. Frankly,

1101
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,799
Speaker 19: he seemed like he was a bit ticked off, and

1102
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 19: so he got him going. They made a comeback. If

1103
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 19: you're a Cincinnati pan you're going, well, we've seen plenty

1104
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 19: of this, haven't we? But can you tell yourself? But

1105
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 19: it's still an exhibition whatever. Hey, the good thing is

1106
00:56:13,640 --> 00:56:18,800
Speaker 19: they won, so you want it doesn't count be excited

1107
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 19: for a couple of days see what happens against Arkansas.

1108
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,120
Speaker 19: But I did see some promise.

1109
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: What will they be missing without Jalen Haynes.

1110
00:56:29,680 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 19: Well, I always liked the big, wide body guy and

1111
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 19: he just you know, good solid post moves and things

1112
00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:41,200
Speaker 19: like that. But on the other hand, from adversity comes opportunity,

1113
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:45,359
Speaker 19: said the great Rick Minner, and Tyler McKinley has a chance.

1114
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:47,920
Speaker 19: Now there's a guy that you might have saw last year,

1115
00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 19: but he got hurt, so now he can step up.

1116
00:56:50,239 --> 00:56:53,160
Speaker 19: And you know, look, he came in, got some keyboards,

1117
00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:57,239
Speaker 19: he made a three. Tom looked good. Hal Van got

1118
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 19: thirteen minutes that they think it was Baba Miller. You

1119
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 19: talk to people, they think Baba Miller is the top

1120
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,439
Speaker 19: pro prospect on the team maybe right now. So fran

1121
00:57:08,560 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 19: Drewschilla is here. That's what he told me the other day.

1122
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 19: Brand wouldn't lie.

1123
00:57:12,719 --> 00:57:14,800
Speaker 1: No, he wouldn't. I think that's his reputation. He's a

1124
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: guy that, no matter what, is going to give you, uh,

1125
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: it's going to give you the truth. Well, I know

1126
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 1: you're busy. Thank you as always, and we'll talk soon.

1127
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,400

1133
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 1: So what does that mean? What does it mean? Like

1134
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 1: if you're a company, private equity is going to come in.

1135

Speaker 1: What's that mean? Amy Wagner is going to explore those

01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 1: You genuinely think you don't want that.

Speaker 20: I'm going to trust you to do like a vetting process.

1193
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 1: here's here's here's what I want you to help me with.

1194
01:01:20,080 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 5: So.

1195
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: I know nothing about private capital, private investment firms, but

1196
01:01:24,440 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 1: college sports are changing, right. The landscape is changing. The

1197
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: business of college sports are changing. The Big Ten Conference,

1198
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: which obviously Ohio State and Indiana locally are in. Uh,

1199
01:01:34,320 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 1: they are discussing a private capital deal that would pump

1200
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 1: in like two billion dollars into the league and its members.

1201
01:01:41,920 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 1: Uh what does this mean?

1202
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:49,360
Speaker 20: Yeah, this is an interesting story, and I don't think

1203
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 20: stands begin to understand how much of an impact this

1204
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 20: could have. A couple of teams in the Big Ten,

1205
01:01:56,360 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 20: specifically Ohio State and Michigan have some oservations here, and

1206
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 20: I think rightly so. And so they're still kind of

1207
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 20: discussing this deal, and their concerns are a couple one. Hey,

1208
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 20: we're a private or we're a public university. So what

1209
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 20: does it mean for pumping in all of this private

1210
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,479
Speaker 20: equity dollars? How does that affect that status? But since

1211
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 20: a second is financial autonomy, right, Like they've been making

1212
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 20: these decisions and I think you know, as average fans,

1213
01:02:25,480 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 20: we love these teams and we support them for these colleges. However,

1214
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 20: these universities, this is big business. I mean, how do

1215
01:02:33,960 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 20: you say it's football program probably funds almost every other

1216
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 20: athletic program that loses money. Right, this is big, big business.

1217
01:02:43,160 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 20: But then you have to go a step further with this,

1218
01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 20: which is for private equity, they don't necessarily look at

1219
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 20: it from a fan standpoint or even as a business standpoint.

1220
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 20: They're looking at this as an investment, and that's a

1221
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:01,800
Speaker 20: really different way to look at these businesses. So it's

1222
01:03:01,840 --> 01:03:05,600
Speaker 20: almost like these two worlds have recently collided and timing

1223
01:03:05,640 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 20: has been impeccable for this. I think about my dentist

1224
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 20: office or some of my doctor's offices that used to

1225
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 20: be privately run by a couple of local doctors or

1226
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:21,480
Speaker 20: dentists who have since there have been mergers and acquisitions,

1227
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:25,000
Speaker 20: and often times private equity is behind that and essentially

1228
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 20: it's just a polled group of investors that are trying

1229
01:03:28,080 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 20: to invest in a business that you couldn't necessarily invest

1230
01:03:31,320 --> 01:03:32,200
Speaker 20: in public markets.

1231
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 6: Right. If you know people who.

1232
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 20: Own shares of Meta or Google or Alphabet, Navidia, whatever

1233
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:42,800
Speaker 20: it is, those are publicly traded companies. But if you

1234
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 20: have an interest in owning a company or part of

1235
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 20: a company that isn't traded on one of those stock exchanges,

1236
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 20: private equity is often how you get in. These are

1237
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 20: usually sophisticated investors and they come in with some knowledge

1238
01:03:57,720 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 20: of a business and what they're trying to do is

1239
01:04:00,040 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 20: make the business and make it even more profitable. They're

1240
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 20: looking for businesses with well known brands that generates even revenue,

1241
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 20: revenue that they expect to grow in the future. Does

1242
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 20: that sound like big sports collegiate sports? Absolutely, so, it

1243
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:19,760
Speaker 20: makes sense that the next frontier for private equity are

1244
01:04:20,200 --> 01:04:23,640
Speaker 20: these college teams that are growing, that are raking in

1245
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 20: a lot of money on the flood side. Right from

1246
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:31,440
Speaker 20: a university standpoint, why would they be interested in opening

1247
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 20: the doors to some outside investors that are going to

1248
01:04:34,600 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 20: start frankly calling some shots. Well, look at the way

1249
01:04:38,400 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 20: that the landscape has changed, right. I think it was

1250
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:43,120
Speaker 20: twenty twenty one when there was that Supreme Court case

1251
01:04:43,160 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 20: and open the floodgates for now all of these athletes

1252
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:47,920
Speaker 20: to make money, right.

1253
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,960
Speaker 6: Name image likeness.

1254
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 20: There was another similar lawsuits this year that required a

1255
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:58,240
Speaker 20: lot of these universities to backpay going back to twenty sixteen,

1256
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:03,439
Speaker 20: substantial on that to these college athletes in nil sort

1257
01:05:03,480 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 20: of that pay. And now they're essentially operating these teams

1258
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:10,920
Speaker 20: as pro teams, right, I mean, they're hiring general managers

1259
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 20: with packaging to the tune of a million dollars that

1260
01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 20: are operating you know, not just rosters where they're trying

1261
01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 20: to recruit top talent, but also pay top talent. And

1262
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 20: that means you're going to have someone come to a

1263
01:05:23,560 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 20: university for one or two years and go somewhere else

1264
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,439
Speaker 20: wherever they can get paid more, right. And so this

1265
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 20: business is now operating at a brand new level. And

1266
01:05:34,120 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 20: in order to do that, they're going to need fresh

1267
01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:40,560
Speaker 20: capital to attract the best athletes. And the way that

1268
01:05:40,640 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 20: they have been doing that over the course of the

1269
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 20: past few years is Okay, mo, you're a you're an

1270
01:05:46,400 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 20: alum of the University of Dayton, So we are trying

1271
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 20: to attract top talent. We're going to come to you

1272
01:05:51,880 --> 01:05:55,240
Speaker 20: in a pool of other alumni and ask you for money. Okay, Well,

1273
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,040
Speaker 20: when that first starts, maybe everyone opens their pockets because

1274
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 20: you want your team to be successful. But at some

1275
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 20: point there's a little bit of fatigue there, right, Well,

1276
01:06:05,720 --> 01:06:08,400
Speaker 20: at some point most pockets are going to run dry,

1277
01:06:08,760 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 20: same with all alumni basis, right, So where you're going

1278
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,479
Speaker 20: to find this capital, Well, here's private equity sitting here. Now.

1279
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:19,640
Speaker 20: You know, oftentimes when private equity comes in, it's like

1280
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 20: you know, I tell my clients all the time with

1281
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 20: your four oh one ks, like put the money in

1282
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 20: and then hopefully it's invested in, it grows for years

1283
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 20: and years and years. These are much shorter term investments.

1284
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 20: The cycles usually three to seven years, with an average

1285
01:06:33,840 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 20: of about five. So they're coming in, they're putting a

1286
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 20: bunch of capital in initially to try to get things

1287
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:44,480
Speaker 20: running as smoothly as possible, generate as much revenue as possible,

1288
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 20: and then toward the end of that cycle, they're backing

1289
01:06:47,840 --> 01:06:51,640
Speaker 20: out of those investments looking to sell to someone else,

1290
01:06:52,320 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 20: and then that's how they turn that profit, right, And

1291
01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 20: so it's just a little bit opening a Pandora's box

1292
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 20: in a very new sector. To have these college sports operated,

1293
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:09,720
Speaker 20: these teams essentially operated by people who are, you know,

1294
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 20: on boards trying to make money off of them. It's

1295
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:14,400
Speaker 20: a whole new level of investing.

1296
01:07:14,760 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 1: It sounds like it. So now, make this make sense

1297
01:07:17,880 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: for somebody who might be working for a company where

1298
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 1: private equity comes in. What does that mean for your

1299
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: your average rank and file employee.

1300
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 20: This happens all the time. I've seen it happen right

1301
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:33,080
Speaker 20: here in the tri State. You know, local owners trying

1302
01:07:33,120 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 20: to figure out what's a succession plan. Either they want

1303
01:07:36,040 --> 01:07:39,120
Speaker 20: to exit only or they want to exit at retirement.

1304
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 20: And oftentimes when you're building a business, the way that

1305
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 20: you can make the most money is some kind of

1306
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,640
Speaker 20: an outside buyer, either private equity or a strategic buyer

1307
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:53,200
Speaker 20: and kind of the same space. So private equity is

1308
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:57,480
Speaker 20: in every sector you can imagine right now, And if

1309
01:07:57,480 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 20: you're an employee, you may not know and tell the

1310
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 20: deal is almost eight. But oftentimes management changes somewhat substantially.

1311
01:08:07,080 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 20: They're looking for strong managers. But then there's a board

1312
01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 20: that has a lot of oversight into how that company

1313
01:08:13,080 --> 01:08:16,479
Speaker 20: is operated. So when they first come in, it's great

1314
01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:19,000
Speaker 20: because it's who do you want to hire and what

1315
01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,920
Speaker 20: are all the things that you've ever wanted to see

1316
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:24,680
Speaker 20: in your role. Lots of new faces, lots of new programs,

1317
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,280
Speaker 20: lots of new money flowing through. Towards the end of

1318
01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 20: that cycle, they sort of tighten their reins and they're

1319
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,240
Speaker 20: looking for a sale, so they're looking to make the

1320
01:08:32,439 --> 01:08:37,360
Speaker 20: balance sheets look as good as possible. And so you're

1321
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:41,639
Speaker 20: a bit of on a roller coaster in where you

1322
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 20: are in that private equity cycle. So not necessarily a

1323
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 20: terrible thing. And listen, if you are, you know, a

1324
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 20: major leader, then there's usually some kind of you know,

1325
01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 20: financial incentives to stick around, right, you know, and so

1326
01:08:58,760 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 20: oftentimes you may make a little more. But the structure

1327
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 20: of your company, it's leadership, the way that it's run

1328
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 20: could change drastically. And for people who don't love change

1329
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:14,280
Speaker 20: or you know, you know, you can't understand the fact

1330
01:09:14,320 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 20: that it is. It's a pretty drastic change in the

1331
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 20: way that these companies are structured. Because there's outside voices

1332
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:24,800
Speaker 20: and there's major pension programs that are you know, investing

1333
01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 20: in private equity, and you know, you look at something

1334
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:31,680
Speaker 20: like a pension plan and there's a guaranteed percentage or

1335
01:09:31,720 --> 01:09:33,840
Speaker 20: a guaranteed amount that you're having to pay out all

1336
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 20: the people that are getting that percentage. So it becomes,

1337
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,720
Speaker 20: you know, mission critical to make sure that these businesses

1338
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 20: are all growing. They're looking at organic growth, they're looking

1339
01:09:43,080 --> 01:09:46,839
Speaker 20: at ways to you know, make that growth take off quickly.

1340
01:09:48,040 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 20: And you know, for some people, that's a tough place

1341
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:53,360
Speaker 20: to be in, depending on your position with them that way.

1342
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: Question here from a lot of folks who have dealt

1343
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: with that. I've I've dealt with that in the past myself. Awesome.

1344
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,840
Speaker 1: Insight is always we will talk next week.

1345
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 20: Sounds good coming about those bargazi, no.

01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,560
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. I'll put you in contact with the

01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,519

1375

Speaker 1: to ask one. Bengals play the Jets on Sunday, so

1376
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 1: we're going to do one here, and then I got

1377
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,240

1399
01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,240
Speaker 1: you prepared to you a Bengals fan? I am all right,

1400
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,439
Speaker 1: very good? All right? Are you ready, Steve? I'm gonna

1401
01:12:58,439 --> 01:13:00,160

1402
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: ready to go. Okay, stand by the question, Steve.

1403
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 10: All Right.

1404
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,679
Speaker 1: When Joe Flacco threw a touchdown pass for the Bengals

1405
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: against Green Bay, he became he became the uh fourth player.

1406
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,320
Speaker 1: So I need three fourth player to throw a touchdown

1407
01:13:18,400 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 1: pass for both the Bengals and the Jets. The fourth player,

1408
01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,240
Speaker 1: I need you, in thirty seconds to name the other

1409
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 1: three the other three players to throw a touchdown pass

1410
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 1: for both the Bengals and the Jets. Steve, are you ready.

1411
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 5: Ready to go?

1412
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: Tarn hit the timer, Steve, start throwing me names.

1413
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:48,519
Speaker 19: I'm gonna go with Jeff Blake, Ryan Fitzpatrick one, there's one,

1414
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 19: and how about how about how about the.

1415
01:13:51,080 --> 01:13:52,559
Speaker 13: Boom, there's two?

1416
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:53,599
Speaker 10: You got one more?

1417
01:13:54,560 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 5: I'm sorry, Jeff Blake.

1418
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: No, no, not Jeff Blake. No I need one more.

1419
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 1: Oh no, We'll just start throwing names at me. Think

1420
01:14:04,920 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks. Just spit them outs. David Quigler Man, all right, well, Stevens,

1421
01:14:11,600 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 1: here's a lot of pressure. Hang tied, Steve. Now that's okay.

1422
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: So Jeff Blake did throw passes for both the Bengals

1423
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: and Jets, but he did not throw a touchdown pass

1424
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: in his three games he played with New York. So

1425
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,880
Speaker 1: the only four players to complete a touchdown pass for

1426
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 1: both the Bengals and Jets are Joe Flacco, Boomeersis and

1427
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:36,680
Speaker 1: Ryan Fitzpatrick and Neil O'Donnell. Neil O'Donnell who played for

1428
01:14:36,720 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: the Bengals in nineteen ninety eight. He won a fake

1429
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:42,040
Speaker 1: spike game against the Steelers that year, and Tarn here's

1430
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:46,040
Speaker 1: where I need you to make an executive decision. Steve

1431
01:14:46,160 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: was put under a lot of pressure. We did not

1432
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: prepare him for that game because twenty minutes ago I

1433
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:53,840
Speaker 1: did not know we would be playing it. In the

1434
01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:58,120
Speaker 1: spirit of generosity and fairness, should we give both Steve

1435
01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: and Mark a pair of tickets to go see Nate Bargatzi.

1436
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:06,760
Speaker 10: Yes, let's do it, all right, Steve.

1437
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,720
Speaker 1: If you can, thank tarn Now, do you want to

1438
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,679
Speaker 1: take Amy Wagner to go see Nate Bargozzi.

1439
01:15:11,840 --> 01:15:14,360
Speaker 13: Let's go Taran and absolutely Amy's welcome to come along.

1440
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we'll put you on hold. And then

1441
01:15:16,920 --> 01:15:19,439
Speaker 1: Mark did absolutely nothing, and yet you're gonna go see

1442
01:15:19,479 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: Nate Bargotzi. Do you want to take Amy Wagner to

1443
01:15:21,680 --> 01:15:23,840
Speaker 1: go see Nate on on Sunday night?

1444
01:15:25,080 --> 01:15:26,240
Speaker 6: I should probably take my wife.

1445
01:15:26,360 --> 01:15:29,080
Speaker 1: Okay, Well that's probably for the best. Mark that that's

1446
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:31,120
Speaker 1: a good call. All right, Thank you, Mark and Steve

Speaker 1: I'm looking at bet online. I see Cincinnati at plus

1483
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: seven hundred to win the Big twelve. Talk me into

1484
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:35,160
Speaker 1: that or talk me out of it?

1485
01:17:35,280 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 21: Danny oh Man, I think it's pretty good value, right,

1486
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,000
Speaker 21: I mean, I think people are still sleeping on the Bearcats.

1487
01:17:43,400 --> 01:17:46,720
Speaker 21: My man, Brandon Soersby has been bawling. I don't think

1488
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:50,680
Speaker 21: he's getting anywhere near the amount of attention that he

1489
01:17:50,800 --> 01:17:54,280
Speaker 21: should be getting. He has been awesome, and if you

1490
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:58,720
Speaker 21: take away, you know, one bad play against Nebraska, this

1491
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 21: team is really close to being undefeated. But Sorsby's got

1492
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 21: eighteen touchdowns in one interception, and he's got six rushing touchdowns.

1493
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:12,160
Speaker 21: By my math, that's twenty four total touchdowns and one interception.

1494
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:15,799
Speaker 21: Why isn't he getting any Heisman love? I get why,

1495
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,000
Speaker 21: because you're not in the market, you know, or you're

1496
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:19,400
Speaker 21: not a traditional blue.

1497
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,599
Speaker 10: Blood, but I'm serious.

1498
01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:23,760
Speaker 21: He's playing quarterback as good as anybody in the country.

1499
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 21: They're playing some great football. And if the Big Twelve,

1500
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 21: I mean, we all we've been proven wrong all season long.

1501
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 21: We all thought, oh it's Texas Tech, head and shoulders

1502
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:34,200
Speaker 21: above the field.

1503
01:18:34,240 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 10: Oh it's Texas Tech.

1504
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 21: Texas Tech goes and loses last week, I say, why

1505
01:18:39,560 --> 01:18:40,520
Speaker 21: not the Bearcat?

1506
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 10: So I am not trying to talk you out of

1507
01:18:42,640 --> 01:18:43,160
Speaker 10: that one.

1508
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 21: Of course, the Texas Tech game would be the only

1509
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:47,439
Speaker 21: one that they would have to face in the Big

1510
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,479
Speaker 21: Twelve championship. Don't have them in the regular season. But

1511
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:53,479
Speaker 21: we just saw Utah get beat by BYU. You can

1512
01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 21: handle them BYU. You guys play at home, like, why

1513
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 21: not at the nip You could see it happening. Now

1514
01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 21: you're thinking about, I'm about to take a bet on

1515
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:02,679
Speaker 21: the Bearcats here to win the Big Twelve.

1516
01:19:02,720 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: See there you go. You're speaking my language. By the way,

1517
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: two fifty to one to win the college football playoff,

1518
01:19:08,400 --> 01:19:11,519
Speaker 1: It's that's not something I thought I would be looking at.

1519
01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 1: A long way to go, but it's been a fun

1520
01:19:13,680 --> 01:19:18,639
Speaker 1: season so far. We were talking about this yesterday, Ohio

1521
01:19:18,640 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 1: State gets talked about a lot in this part of

1522
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:23,720
Speaker 1: the country. I'm not sure in recent years nationally there

1523
01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,240
Speaker 1: has been a less discussed number one team in the

1524
01:19:26,360 --> 01:19:27,880
Speaker 1: nation through this part of the season.

1525
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 21: Yeah, I would tend to agree. I think you saw

1526
01:19:30,920 --> 01:19:33,960
Speaker 21: this happen last year with Georgia. They were just everybody

1527
01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:36,479
Speaker 21: knew they'd be in the College Football Playoff and you're

1528
01:19:36,560 --> 01:19:38,879
Speaker 21: kind of like, yeah, we'll talk about them when it matters.

1529
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:42,080
Speaker 21: But Georgia wasn't as dominant as Ohio State has been

1530
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 21: this year. I just was in Madison, Wisconsin, so I

1531
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:49,640
Speaker 21: saw the buck guys in person. Of course, it was

1532
01:19:49,760 --> 01:19:54,719
Speaker 21: not a great game, completely lopsided, but that we haven't

1533
01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:56,720
Speaker 21: seen a lot of teams that are just handling their

1534
01:19:56,720 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 21: business every single week. We've seen a lot of teams

1535
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,480
Speaker 21: overlook opponents, they underwhelm.

1536
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:05,120
Speaker 10: Ohio State has not done that, and I think this team.

1537
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 21: I talked to Jeremiah Smith after the game and he

1538
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 21: said he thinks this team is better than last year's

1539
01:20:11,080 --> 01:20:13,040
Speaker 21: and it is really hard to argue against when you

1540
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 21: look at the totality of the roster.

1541
01:20:15,720 --> 01:20:17,040
Speaker 13: I think last year's.

1542
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:19,440
Speaker 21: Run game was a little bit better, and the offensive

1543
01:20:19,479 --> 01:20:21,840
Speaker 21: line was a little bit better. But outside of that,

1544
01:20:22,120 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 21: the defense is putting up historic numbers. You know, they

1545
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:29,200
Speaker 21: put you another shutout last week, which was really impressive.

1546
01:20:30,240 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 21: My big concern for Ohio State, and this is similar

1547
01:20:32,720 --> 01:20:35,599
Speaker 21: to sort of some of those great teams that we've seen,

1548
01:20:35,720 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 21: you know, traditionally, it's do they get battle tested before

1549
01:20:40,320 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 21: they have to play against potentially Indiana and the Big

1550
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:46,840
Speaker 21: Ten or if they have to play against Alabama and

1551
01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 21: the College Football Playoff because they're so good, Like, it's

1552
01:20:50,960 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 21: just you wonder if that's gonna matter, because they won't

1553
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,479
Speaker 21: have many opportunities to be in a fourth quarter game

1554
01:20:57,520 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 21: where you look up at the scoreboard it's like, oh crap,

1555
01:21:00,040 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 21: we got to get this thing going.

1556
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 13: They might not have.

1557
01:21:02,439 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 21: To face that type of adversity, which is like rich

1558
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 21: people problems, right, Like it's a problem that.

1559
01:21:07,200 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 13: Everybody would love to have.

1560
01:21:08,840 --> 01:21:11,200
Speaker 21: But I cannot say enough about how impressed I was

1561
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,040
Speaker 21: the Buckeyes, Julian saying is playing like a seasoned veteran.

1562
01:21:14,160 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 21: I love the way they've kind of they've taken you know,

1563
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,679
Speaker 21: they kind of have slow played it. It's like a restaurant,

1564
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 21: they have a soft opening. I think that's what they

1565
01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 21: did early in the season and then now they're kind

1566
01:21:23,680 --> 01:21:26,200
Speaker 21: of just throwing everything at him and he is flourishing.

1567
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:27,559
Speaker 10: It has just been.

1568
01:21:27,479 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 21: Really, really impressive the Buckey's what they've been able to do.

1569
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 1: When you were in Madison, if I would have told

1570
01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:34,880
Speaker 1: you that at this time this week, Luke Fickle will

1571
01:21:34,880 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: still be employed, you would have said, what.

1572
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 21: I'm pretty astounded, especially considering the pulse. You know, you

1573
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 21: get a pretty good pulse when you're on the ground.

1574
01:21:42,520 --> 01:21:45,920
Speaker 21: Even before the game, fans were like, yeah, we probably

1575
01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 21: have to make a change, and then you know, at

1576
01:21:48,120 --> 01:21:51,400
Speaker 21: the airport after everyone's like, well, it's got to happen today,

1577
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,800
Speaker 21: and then no, you get the statement of support from

1578
01:21:53,840 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 21: the athletic director. So I'm surprised, but I'm also surprised

1579
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:59,760
Speaker 21: at how bad it's been. I thought Luke Fickle was

1580
01:21:59,800 --> 01:22:02,600
Speaker 21: an a higher you know who grade the highers. I

1581
01:22:02,640 --> 01:22:05,040
Speaker 21: thought he was a great fit at Wisconsin. I do

1582
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 21: think they're starting to learn they have a lot of

1583
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:09,599
Speaker 21: making up to do in the nil landscape, and their

1584
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,639
Speaker 21: schedule has been brutal, and he's had horrible quarterback look.

1585
01:22:13,080 --> 01:22:15,439
Speaker 21: So I know the athletic director said they're going to

1586
01:22:15,479 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 21: try to give him some more resources, give more money,

1587
01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,600
Speaker 21: But my goodness, I don't think it's gonna get I

1588
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 21: think it's gonna get worse before it gets better. And

1589
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:25,120
Speaker 21: that's going to take a tremendous amount of fortitude for

1590
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 21: that athletic director to continue to back Luke Fickle the

1591
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,040
Speaker 21: way they've lost the fan base.

1592
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:32,000

1595
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,120
Speaker 1: Big ten with me. Last year, it felt like Indiana

1596
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:44,479
Speaker 1: was a really neat story. This year, it feels like

1597
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:47,559
Speaker 1: they're a powerhouse. Fernando Mendoza the odds on favorite to

1598
01:22:47,560 --> 01:22:50,600
Speaker 1: win the Heisman Trophy. Do you take the Hoosiers seriously

1599
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:53,240
Speaker 1: as national championship contenders?

1600
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:54,640
Speaker 10: Absolutely?

1601
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:57,559
Speaker 21: And I would say why, like and maybe if they

1602
01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,880
Speaker 21: didn't do what they did to Oregon, probably be waiting

1603
01:23:00,920 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 21: for them to prove it one more time, like we.

1604
01:23:03,360 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 13: Need to see it.

1605
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,720
Speaker 21: But they I thought of Oregon. I still think Oregon is

1606
01:23:06,760 --> 01:23:10,479
Speaker 21: a really good football team. That was a pretty convincing win.

1607
01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,240
Speaker 21: I mean they won by ten, but I think the

1608
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 21: style of it, the way they were able to control

1609
01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 21: both lines, of scrimmage that was really really impressive. Kurtsing

1610
01:23:18,960 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 21: that he's a great football coach, and I still think

1611
01:23:21,400 --> 01:23:23,960
Speaker 21: it's very similar to what's going on at Vanderbilt. People

1612
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,880
Speaker 21: need to erase everything you've known about Indiana for the

1613
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 21: last fifty years.

1614
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:29,599
Speaker 13: There's a couple of reasons why.

1615
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,519
Speaker 21: One, they've done a great job and they're going on

1616
01:23:31,560 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 21: their second season, kind of putting a stamp on one

1617
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,719
Speaker 21: they did last year. But this is a new landscape

1618
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:39,000
Speaker 21: of college football, Like you don't have just windows where

1619
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 21: you can win, where you get lucky with a good

1620
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,519
Speaker 21: class or a good quarterback. They actually have resources and

1621
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,719
Speaker 21: they have the revenue share and they've got the portal.

1622
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:50,439
Speaker 21: So I think Indiana is here to stay. And I

1623
01:23:50,479 --> 01:23:53,040
Speaker 21: do think Fernando Mendoza is pretty special. They still have

1624
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 21: a lot of players that were on last year's team

1625
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 21: that were holdovers from James Madison, which was a championship

1626
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,679
Speaker 21: level player. So yes, I think Indian is a team

1627
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:02,240
Speaker 21: that could win the national championship.

1628
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 1: In college football, we've seen a lot of coaches get

1629
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: fired with large buyouts, most notably James Franklin, who's being

1630
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,800
Speaker 1: paid nearly fifty million dollars to not work. Some view

1631
01:24:12,840 --> 01:24:15,200
Speaker 1: that as this is a sign that the sport is

1632
01:24:15,240 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 1: really really healthy, and some view this as this is

1633
01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:20,120
Speaker 1: a sign that the sport is in trouble, and it's

1634
01:24:20,160 --> 01:24:22,400
Speaker 1: not so much the money going to the players. What's

1635
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 1: your take?

1636
01:24:23,560 --> 01:24:25,160
Speaker 21: No, all I know is I don't want to hear

1637
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:30,080
Speaker 21: any athletic directors or school presidents complaining about finances, right Like,

1638
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,800
Speaker 21: you've got to stop saying, oh, we're we're at a

1639
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:35,559
Speaker 21: point of crisis. Well, if there is a crisis, it's

1640
01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:37,719
Speaker 21: on you, guys, like you're the ones that are handing

1641
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:42,680
Speaker 21: out these contracts with these ridiculous guarantees and ridiculous buyouts.

1642
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 21: And I don't think it changes. I think it's the

1643
01:24:45,640 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 21: sport is in a great spot. I mean it really is.

1644
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 21: The ratings are up, the players are making money, the

1645
01:24:50,880 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 21: expanded Playoff has brought a lot of hope to a

1646
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 21: lot of programs. So I think the sport is in

1647
01:24:55,240 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 21: a great spot. I mean, the coaches just have more

1648
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 21: pressure on them than ever before, or in large part

1649
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 21: because of these salaries, because of the money that they're making.

1650
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:07,400
Speaker 21: So I think until athletic directors start getting smarter and

1651
01:25:07,439 --> 01:25:10,320
Speaker 21: don't get raked over the coals by these agents with

1652
01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,720
Speaker 21: all the leverage that they have. You're just gonna see

1653
01:25:12,720 --> 01:25:15,439
Speaker 21: these continue to escalate, and you're gonna see coaches make

1654
01:25:15,439 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 21: a lot of money, either to coach or to not coach.

1655
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,240
Speaker 21: It's just a matter of what where they're gonna be

1656
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:23,200
Speaker 21: or on television, you know, talking about the sport.

1657
01:25:23,240 --> 01:25:25,080
Speaker 13: But either way, they're gonna make a lot a lot

1658
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:25,479
Speaker 13: of money.

1659
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,519
Speaker 1: All right, one more, really quick. I ask you this

1660
01:25:27,600 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 1: every time look at that online. I don't want a favorite.

1661
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:34,759
Speaker 1: Give me a dark horse. Give me a long shot

1662
01:25:34,800 --> 01:25:38,200
Speaker 1: with value, whether it's the National Championship or whether it's

1663
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:40,640
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy. Give me one of those where I

1664
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,200
Speaker 1: could get some value for my wager spend.

1665
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:45,400
Speaker 10: On how long you want to go?

1666
01:25:45,720 --> 01:25:49,479
Speaker 21: I would say the Miami Hurricanes and I it was

1667
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 21: ugly right.

1668
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 13: They lost on the national stage. It was Friday night

1669
01:25:52,360 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 13: kind of standalone game.

1670
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:55,400
Speaker 10: I still thought they were.

1671
01:25:55,400 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 21: National championship worthy before. And it's just you've got to

1672
01:25:59,160 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 21: really put a lot of trust in Carson Beck that

1673
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,120
Speaker 21: he's not going to have that type of game because

1674
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,800
Speaker 21: he had four interceptions. The three of them were horrendous decisions.

1675
01:26:08,040 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 21: A couple of them were great plays, but I still

1676
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 21: think that team has an offensive and defensive line that

1677
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 21: are very special. I think Oregon I would put in

1678
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 21: that same category, but Oregon's only nine to one. If

1679
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:20,200
Speaker 21: you want to go a little bit longer, fourteen to one.

1680
01:26:20,439 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 21: Like I would not waste your money on Texas. Think

1681
01:26:22,640 --> 01:26:26,240
Speaker 21: Arch Manning still has significant growth to go Texas Tech.

1682
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,280
Speaker 21: I worry a little bit about their competition Ole Missus defense.

1683
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:32,280
Speaker 21: I don't trust them, So I would say Miami at

1684
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:34,000
Speaker 21: fourteen to one. And this is from a seminal, So

1685
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 21: you got to consider this like, this is me giving

1686
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 21: a lot of love to a program that I don't like.

1687
01:26:38,600 --> 01:26:41,720
Speaker 13: I'll save Miami's not bad value here at fourteen to one.

Speaker 1: quarter after five on ESPN fifteen thirty. Bengals and Jets

1703
01:27:23,880 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday. By the way, remember that game is on

1704
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,320
Speaker 1: ESPN fifteenthree. We you know, we carry all the Bengals games.

1706
01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:33,240
Speaker 1: one covers the Bengals like ESPN fifteen thirty. May have

1707
01:27:33,240 --> 01:27:36,759
Speaker 1: heard that as well our pregame coverage with Ken Brew,

1708
01:27:36,920 --> 01:27:41,160
Speaker 1: Tony Pike, and myself, Ken and Tony and I remember

1709
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:44,760
Speaker 1: the last home game. The last Sunday home game was

1710
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:47,880
Speaker 1: a four o'clock game, so it was just me and Tony.

1711
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: So the last one o'clock home game was the Jags game, right,

1712
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: I think I have that correct? Yeah, I do. Think

1713
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 1: of everything that has happened since Ken Brew, Tony and

1714
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,760
Speaker 1: I did a show with the Grail together that day

1715

1716
01:28:05,560 --> 01:28:08,960
Speaker 1: been let go, he has come back. Lots happened, and

1717
01:28:09,200 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: it'd be great to be together at the Holy Grail

1718

Speaker 1: Skinner from Local twelve in Local twelve dot com and

Speaker 1: the host of the Skinny Podcast, as we talk about

1741
01:29:31,760 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 1: the Bengals. Hi Skinny, Hi Moe.

1742
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:36,519
Speaker 6: How are you.

1743
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:38,320
Speaker 13: I'm good.

1744
01:29:38,320 --> 01:29:39,720
Speaker 6: I hear you have a new boss. Is the same

1745
01:29:39,760 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 6: as my old boss?

1746
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:44,639
Speaker 1: It is? It is? And I actually, literally five minutes ago,

1747
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:46,160
Speaker 1: just said high to him for the first time.

1748
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:47,600
Speaker 6: There you go.

1749
01:29:47,840 --> 01:29:50,320
Speaker 1: I he's a very nice man, very nice man. He

1750
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 1: did wonder why I was having you on, So I'm

1751
01:29:52,280 --> 01:29:52,760
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1752
01:29:52,760 --> 01:29:55,960
Speaker 6: I might call it a month and that part wouldn't

1753
01:29:55,960 --> 01:29:56,280
Speaker 6: shock me.

1754
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:01,519
Speaker 1: Uh, very good. Do you think Hendrickson's gonna play on Sunday?

1755
01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,400
Speaker 6: Yes, you asked me that last week and I said

1756
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:07,439
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure. I think I even said, when you're

1757
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:09,920
Speaker 6: not practicing at that point, you're probably not gonna play.

1758
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 6: I heard my I said, might betray you on with

1759
01:30:12,040 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 6: Lance later that night, who said I think he's gonna play.

1760
01:30:14,720 --> 01:30:17,439
Speaker 6: I'm like, oh, okay, maybe I missed something and he did,

1761
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:18,960
Speaker 6: and I mean it. I think I told you last year.

1762
01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 6: I think that was just such a short turnaround that

1763
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:23,920
Speaker 6: it was almost impossible for that to happen. He was

1764
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:26,280
Speaker 6: limited today. I saw him to do drill stuff. That's

1765
01:30:26,280 --> 01:30:28,320
Speaker 6: a that's a great first sign. That makes sense on

1766
01:30:28,360 --> 01:30:31,080
Speaker 6: a first Wednesday practice after a game, even though that

1767
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,879
Speaker 6: game was last Thursday. I guess he would go full tomorrow.

1768
01:30:34,920 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 6: If he doesn't, maybe there's a.

1769
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:36,960
Speaker 19: Little alarm bells.

1770
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,559
Speaker 6: He probably will still be listed as questionable on the

1771
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,040
Speaker 6: injury report if he if he is limited tomorrow, But no,

1772
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:43,439
Speaker 6: I think he absolutely plays.

1773
01:30:43,479 --> 01:30:45,559
Speaker 1: Who's the Joe Flacco of the Bengals defense?

1774
01:30:47,840 --> 01:30:50,200
Speaker 6: Wow, well, that person probably wouldn't be on the roster

1775
01:30:50,240 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 6: at the moment. You have to you'd have to go

1776
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:54,600
Speaker 6: out and get that first. Who who would be the

1777
01:30:54,680 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 6: Joe Black on the defense? Maybe it's a safety from

1778
01:30:58,320 --> 01:31:01,040
Speaker 6: somewhere else, because they sure could you help back there?

1779
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:03,360
Speaker 6: Don't forget, there's no problem back there is.

1780
01:31:03,360 --> 01:31:05,400
Speaker 10: You know, we're good.

1781
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,080
Speaker 6: We don't we don't do to adress that group. That's

1782
01:31:08,080 --> 01:31:12,240
Speaker 6: an interesting one because I I do wonder let's just

1783
01:31:12,240 --> 01:31:14,439
Speaker 6: go for safety sake. Here, you're five and four to buy,

1784
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 6: which is basically the trade deadline, and you realize, okay,

1785
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,640
Speaker 6: we're five and four, but man, we are we we

1786
01:31:19,640 --> 01:31:22,639
Speaker 6: we have to acknowledge the flaws on defense? What would

1787
01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:25,200
Speaker 6: you what would you pay for a safety? And from

1788
01:31:25,200 --> 01:31:28,000
Speaker 6: a trade capital standpoint, I think you have to really

1789
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,559
Speaker 6: look into that. I don't think you can invest anymore

1790
01:31:30,560 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 6: in the defensive line, even though you probably need to.

1791
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 6: I mean, my goodness, gracious, you've invested enough with two

1792
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:36,479
Speaker 6: first round picks who aren't doing anything at the moment.

1793
01:31:36,479 --> 01:31:38,120
Speaker 6: And I know Shamar Stewart just came back, but he

1794
01:31:38,240 --> 01:31:40,080
Speaker 6: was not very good the other night. He looked like

1795
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:42,479
Speaker 6: a guy who hadn't played in a while. You paid

1796
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 6: for t J. Slayton, you paid for DJ Hills. I

1797
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:47,559
Speaker 6: just I don't think you're spending there. You like your

1798
01:31:47,560 --> 01:31:51,200
Speaker 6: two rookie linebackers. The problems are just rookies. So yeah,

1799
01:31:51,240 --> 01:31:54,559
Speaker 6: I mean maybe if somebody who is not on this

1800
01:31:54,680 --> 01:31:56,559
Speaker 6: roster that's a safety. I think that's the position that

1801
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 6: they need need some desperate help.

1802
01:31:57,840 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 10: At the moment.

1803
01:31:58,439 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 1: Until then, you know, short leash for Logan Wilson, although

1804
01:32:01,880 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: it's not like he didn't play against Pittsburgh, but shortly

1805
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 1: for him as a starter. He's in packages.

1806
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:10,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, there're four to three base he's in.

1807
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:13,400
Speaker 1: There isn't there. I wouldn't. I wouldn't call Cam Taylor

1808
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,880
Speaker 1: Briggs Lee. Sure, but they did bench him right. He

1809
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:20,240
Speaker 1: was a healthy scratch. And yet Geno Stone can play unchallenged.

1810
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:21,960
Speaker 1: How bad are the guys behind him?

1811
01:32:22,880 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 6: Yeah? Well my boss asked me that too. Of of

1812
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:29,160
Speaker 6: you know what, what what would it take? And I

1813
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:32,360
Speaker 6: mean Tyson Anderson just has no real live game experience.

1814
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 6: I know you can argue, well, you don't get it

1815
01:32:34,280 --> 01:32:37,360
Speaker 6: till you get it. I I understand that, but I

1816
01:32:37,400 --> 01:32:40,200
Speaker 6: think it best in this league. Tyson is an emergency safety.

1817
01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:42,559
Speaker 6: He's a great special teams player, and that's a niche.

1818
01:32:42,800 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 6: I mean, you can carve out a career. I can

1819
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 6: black on the kid in New England who carved out

1820
01:32:47,280 --> 01:32:50,080
Speaker 6: a long career doing that as a special teams player.

1821
01:32:50,080 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 6: I mean those guys have done that. Stee Caasker did.

1822
01:32:51,880 --> 01:32:53,519
Speaker 6: Although he's a he's a pretty good wide receiver to

1823
01:32:53,960 --> 01:32:55,240
Speaker 6: primarily a special teams guy.

1824
01:32:55,600 --> 01:32:55,880
Speaker 13: PJ.

1825
01:32:55,960 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 6: Jowles is literally just a special teams guy. So those

1826
01:32:58,960 --> 01:33:02,400
Speaker 6: are your backups. And that's why you just you can't

1827
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:05,599
Speaker 6: even though what you see is not good. I mean

1828
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:07,920
Speaker 6: you could maybe maybe this Jets game, you get up

1829
01:33:07,960 --> 01:33:09,760
Speaker 6: and you go, let's just see what some snaps look like.

1830
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:12,559
Speaker 6: Because I think you have to find that out because

1831
01:33:12,560 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 6: it's just not working. Jordan battles hit or miss. At

1832
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,599
Speaker 6: least he sometimes hit, you know, so don't just he's

1833
01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,559
Speaker 6: on struggles. I mean, honestly, moent they had a better solution.

1834
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:22,720
Speaker 6: I think he'd get the Cam Taylor Brick treatment at

1835
01:33:22,720 --> 01:33:24,639
Speaker 6: this point of Man, you got to clear your head

1836
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:26,880
Speaker 6: and figure this stuff out because they ain't working for you.

1837
01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:29,479
Speaker 1: No, not at all. Who are the starting guards going

1838
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:29,720
Speaker 1: to be?

1839
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,519
Speaker 6: I'm gonna guess Dylan Fairchild and Jalen Rivers. I will

1840
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,840
Speaker 6: say Jalen Rivers is almost in cement, to be honest with,

1841
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:41,280
Speaker 6: like he's cemented himself. I thought Dalton Risers played pretty

1842
01:33:41,280 --> 01:33:42,840
Speaker 6: good at left guard. I think the proofs in the

1843
01:33:42,880 --> 01:33:45,320
Speaker 6: pudding of the last two games, both from a pass

1844
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:49,040
Speaker 6: protection standpoint, when they allow three facts and minimal pressures

1845
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,800
Speaker 6: and like one hundred dropbacks go round number one hundreds

1846
01:33:51,800 --> 01:33:53,960
Speaker 6: like ninety eight, but basically around number of one hundred,

1847
01:33:54,160 --> 01:33:56,920
Speaker 6: that's pretty good. And the pressures haven't been there either,

1848
01:33:57,000 --> 01:33:59,360
Speaker 6: so he's been part of that group. They finally ran

1849
01:33:59,400 --> 01:34:01,680
Speaker 6: the ball well. This last game kind of went it

1850
01:34:01,720 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 6: pretty good at times in the second half of the

1851
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:04,960
Speaker 6: game by game and dalt Riiser was the left guard

1852
01:34:05,000 --> 01:34:08,639
Speaker 6: in Boat. For me, it would almost be like, let

1853
01:34:08,680 --> 01:34:10,600
Speaker 6: me just see this again. But you invest in a

1854
01:34:10,680 --> 01:34:14,640
Speaker 6: whole offseason, in a whole training camp in Dylan Fairchild.

1855
01:34:14,680 --> 01:34:17,120
Speaker 6: And I know that's a risk that you're playing two

1856
01:34:17,200 --> 01:34:20,679
Speaker 6: Rockey cards and two rookie linebackers. But if I were

1857
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 6: to bet, I would bet Dylan gets a start. But

1858
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:25,720
Speaker 6: I wonder if the leish is short, like, if this

1859
01:34:25,800 --> 01:34:27,880
Speaker 6: doesn't go well for two or three or four series,

1860
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 6: you go, now we need to go with what we've

1861
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,479
Speaker 6: at least seen the last few weeks. Adult wasn't very good.

1862
01:34:33,479 --> 01:34:35,479
Speaker 6: I mean, don't lost his job as the right guard, right,

1863
01:34:35,520 --> 01:34:37,240
Speaker 6: I mean he wants it after the Minnesota game to

1864
01:34:37,320 --> 01:34:39,760
Speaker 6: Jalen Rivers. But then, for whatever reason, he's worked out

1865
01:34:39,800 --> 01:34:41,679
Speaker 6: pretty well at left guard. Maybe it's a better spot

1866
01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:43,439
Speaker 6: for him. I don't know, he's played both in his career,

1867
01:34:44,120 --> 01:34:46,600
Speaker 6: but he's certainly a settling at that spot. And then, oh,

1868
01:34:46,680 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 6: by the way, Lucas Patrick, I thought he was gonna

1869
01:34:48,840 --> 01:34:50,639
Speaker 6: start the last game at left guard. I really did.

1870
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 6: I thought that it was he's back. You know, he

1871
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:54,640
Speaker 6: did pretty well right guard, and the opener. We like

1872
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:56,120
Speaker 6: our right guard, let's put him at left guard and

1873
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:58,800
Speaker 6: it was Dalton Risers. But I'm I'm guessing with Dylan

1874
01:34:58,920 --> 01:35:01,640
Speaker 6: healthy that he gonna get the crack. But maybe they go.

1875
01:35:01,720 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not messing with a good thing at

1876
01:35:03,560 --> 01:35:05,160
Speaker 6: the moment. Until I have to mess with it, I'm

1877
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:06,080
Speaker 6: not messing with it again.

1878
01:35:06,200 --> 01:35:08,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, the key for me is how well they ran it?

1879
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:11,680
Speaker 1: And all right, Dylan Fairchild might be a terrific long

1880
01:35:11,760 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: term solution. I think there's a decent chance of that happening.

1881
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,760
Speaker 1: But here's one for go with the hot hand.

1882
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:19,920
Speaker 6: I'm with you and the other part. I said this

1883
01:35:19,960 --> 01:35:21,599
Speaker 6: to a couple of people to day that because we

1884
01:35:21,600 --> 01:35:24,639
Speaker 6: were actually bouncing that around. Of again, let's just say

1885
01:35:24,680 --> 01:35:27,599
Speaker 6: you decided Dylan's Dylan's the guy that he's gonna start,

1886
01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:29,760
Speaker 6: and let's just say for whatever reason, he struggles and

1887
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,240
Speaker 6: then you pull him. And then at that point, where

1888
01:35:32,360 --> 01:35:34,519
Speaker 6: is he at from a confidence perspective of like, oh

1889
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:36,600
Speaker 6: my gosh, they don't believe in me. And I know

1890
01:35:36,640 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 6: that's not what you're thinking. But if you're thinking the

1891
01:35:38,320 --> 01:35:40,760
Speaker 6: long term, you're thinking Dylan Fairschold is going to be

1892
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:42,680
Speaker 6: a starter. Long term and if you're thinking that, in

1893
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:44,840
Speaker 6: my opinion, just ride the hot hand till it's not

1894
01:35:44,880 --> 01:35:45,479
Speaker 6: hot anymore.

1895
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:49,040
Speaker 1: Uh, we're on the same page there. Thank you as always,

1896
01:35:49,160 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 1: and uh we'll talk next week.

1897
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:52,559
Speaker 6: Thanks book.

1898
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:55,760
Speaker 1: That's our guy, Richard Skinner from a Local twelve and

1899
01:35:55,760 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: and Local twelve dot com. Uh, Tarren, We're gonna pla

1900
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:01,920
Speaker 1: the Wes Miller audio. We also have to play. He

1901
01:36:01,960 --> 01:36:04,800
Speaker 1: had that audio of Ben Roethlisberger blaming the white pain

1902
01:36:04,880 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 1: on the field for why Aaron Rodgers threw a pick. Yes,

1903
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,320
Speaker 1: all right, but boy, I have to play. This is

1904
01:36:09,360 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 1: the only time you'll ever hear Ben. Ben Roethlisberger is

1905
01:36:12,360 --> 01:36:13,360
Speaker 1: a podcast.

1906
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,040
Speaker 10: Didn't know that till last night.

1907
01:36:16,200 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: Bet Who in their right mind wants to listen to

1908
01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 1: a Ben Roethlisberger podcast? Like who decided the universe needed

1909
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:26,720
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's thoughts on anything? I know you could say

1910
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:32,000
Speaker 1: that about me, that's fine, but okay that aside, who

1911
01:36:32,040 --> 01:36:35,040
Speaker 1: in their right mind was like, you know, the podcast space,

1912
01:36:35,400 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 1: while crowded, there's room for the thoughts and wisdom of

1913
01:36:40,760 --> 01:36:45,519
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger. Like I'm gonna need a bath after listening

1914
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,400
Speaker 1: to this because just the thought of Ben Roethlisberger makes

1915
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,960
Speaker 1: me want to take a bath. Pittsburgh Steelers fans, have

1916
01:36:52,080 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: you noticed that if, like, you talk to Steelers fans

1917
01:36:54,760 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 1: then you bring up Roethlisberger, it's kind of like, you know,

1918
01:36:57,840 --> 01:37:00,720
Speaker 1: somebody talking about their drunk uncle or something, and it's like, yeah,

1919
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:02,360
Speaker 1: you did play for us, and we did win a

1920

Speaker 1: Her who's carving time out of their wait to listen

1924
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 1: to Ben Roethlisberger, Well we will because he'd be blamed

1925
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:14,160
Speaker 1: the pain on the field. And we'll all laugh at

1926
01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:16,680

1952
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,320
Speaker 1: we always hear the week of the Super Bowl. We

1953
01:38:54,360 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: lose so much in productivity. The NCAA tournament. Commerce will

1954
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:00,360
Speaker 1: not get done, not just with the federal govern which

1955
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,600
Speaker 1: is shut down, but commerce will not get done in

1956
01:39:02,640 --> 01:39:05,840
Speaker 1: the United States of America tomorrow. Is everybody is kind

1957
01:39:05,840 --> 01:39:07,680
Speaker 1: of paralyzed trying to figure out who's going to play

1958
01:39:07,720 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 1: quarterback for the oh to seven New York Jets on Sunday.

1959
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:13,920
Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson limited today, but he did kind of practice,

1960
01:39:13,960 --> 01:39:16,879
Speaker 1: which is why he was limited. Bengals and Jets Sunday.

1961
01:39:17,240 --> 01:39:21,040
Speaker 1: Horden Lapp Tonight Bengals game Plan on ESPN fifteen thirty.

1962
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:24,559
Speaker 1: Ted Carris will be among the guests. I think he

1963
01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:29,480
Speaker 1: is the guest tonight and this I'm not here tomorrow,

1964
01:39:29,560 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: so let me just take a second to congratulate Dave

1965
01:39:35,080 --> 01:39:38,720
Speaker 1: Lapham and Lamar Parrish on their Ring of Honor inductions

1966
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:43,439
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Jamar Chase a Jamar Chase, Jamar Chase AFC

1967
01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:45,880
Speaker 1: Offensive Player of the Week for the fifth time for

1968
01:39:45,960 --> 01:39:49,920
Speaker 1: his ridiculous game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also, Cedric Johnson

1969
01:39:49,960 --> 01:39:52,240
Speaker 1: cleared to return to practice. That'll solve all the Bengals

1970
01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:56,519
Speaker 1: pass rush issues. One o'clock Sunday on ESPN fifteen thirty.

1971
01:39:56,520 --> 01:39:59,320
Speaker 1: Pre game coverage from the Holy Grail, Ken Brew Tony

1972
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:03,960
Speaker 1: Pike and me starting at nine am. I think that's

1973
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,280
Speaker 1: like it for sports headlines. You'll hear Wes Miller in

1974
01:40:06,400 --> 01:40:08,639
Speaker 1: just a second. But I did tease, as we say

1975
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: in the business, this audio. Ben Roethlisberger has a podcast

1976
01:40:12,120 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: which I have less than zero interest in, but this

1977
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,800
Speaker 1: did get as we say in the business aggregated. So

1978
01:40:19,080 --> 01:40:22,400
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers through a couple of interceptions. One of them

1979
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 1: was just a phenomenal play by DJ Turner where he

1980
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:29,679
Speaker 1: took the ball away from DK Metcalf and DJ Turner

1981
01:40:29,720 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 1: in recent weeks has been awesome. There are a few

1982
01:40:33,439 --> 01:40:36,320
Speaker 1: dbs in the sport playing better. And I did the

1983
01:40:36,360 --> 01:40:39,920
Speaker 1: topic like two weeks ago, wondering like, who are five

1984
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,519
Speaker 1: players I would have moved forward with. DJ Turner has

1985
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:45,519
Speaker 1: turned into one of them. Good for him. Good for

1986
01:40:45,600 --> 01:40:47,880
Speaker 1: him because there were times during training camp where it

1987
01:40:47,920 --> 01:40:51,519
Speaker 1: felt like he was in the doghouse. So Aaron threw

1988
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 1: a couple of picks, one the aforementioned play by DJ

1989
01:40:55,760 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 1: Turner and the other a pick by Jordan Battle. This

1990
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 1: is the possible explanation offered by former Pittsburgh Steeler and

1991
01:41:07,160 --> 01:41:09,240
Speaker 1: Miami Redhawk Ben Roethlisberger.

1992
01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:14,440
Speaker 22: So Aaron's interception, the first one, the deep one. Yeah,

1993
01:41:14,560 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 22: I think there's an outside chance. I I know it

1994
01:41:17,320 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 22: sounds crazy because Aaron I think, you know, he's incredibly good.

1995
01:41:20,240 --> 01:41:22,799
Speaker 22: He sees everything. But the Bengals were in all white.

1996
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,280
Speaker 22: They painted the middle of the field white. I think

1997
01:41:25,280 --> 01:41:27,680
Speaker 22: there's a chance that the safety was camouflage in the

1998
01:41:27,720 --> 01:41:28,760
Speaker 22: middle of Aaron didn't see him.

1999
01:41:29,600 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 14: I think that's a there's a big chance of that.

2000
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 4: I didn't think of that, but that's you know, that's

2001
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:36,599
Speaker 4: what quarterbacks think and see.

2002
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 13: But I didn't.

2003
01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,639
Speaker 1: I was just upset that the interception happened.

2004
01:41:40,080 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 22: Timm you would think, like, it's not the Patriots, so

2005
01:41:42,080 --> 01:41:42,799
Speaker 22: it wasn't cheating.

2006
01:41:43,800 --> 01:41:46,599
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, all right. There's a what is the name

2007
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:48,840
Speaker 1: of Ben Roethlisberger's podcast?

2008
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,840
Speaker 10: What ba Holland with Ben Roethlisberger.

2009
01:41:51,840 --> 01:41:53,920
Speaker 1: Who's the other guy that he's talking to? Not sure,

2010
01:41:54,080 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't care, Chef meathead and Vinnie who is it?

2011
01:41:58,000 --> 01:41:59,599
Speaker 10: What's the guys looking like a chef he was talking

2012
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 10: to right now there, but I don't know who he is.

2013
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:05,360
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger and some other guy in a podcast that

2014
01:42:05,840 --> 01:42:09,120
Speaker 1: I will probably never listen to again. So there now,

2015
01:42:10,800 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger had a great career towards the Bengals. It's

2016
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:17,160
Speaker 1: going to the Hall of Fame. Fine, Like, I'll acknowledge

2017
01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:22,439
Speaker 1: all that, And he is speaking from a perspective that

2018
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:28,240
Speaker 1: the rest of us don't have. Aaron Rodgers has thrown

2019
01:42:28,520 --> 01:42:32,799
Speaker 1: more than eighty four hundred NFL passes in his twenty

2020
01:42:32,840 --> 01:42:36,559
Speaker 1: one year NFL career, and he was thrown off by

2021
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:40,519
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bengals were wearing all white and

2022
01:42:40,560 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 1: they painted the logo in the middle of the field white.

2023
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: That's the explanation I'm supposed to believe here, not.

2024
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:51,200
Speaker 10: The fact that he overthrew DK about like ten yards

2025
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:52,960
Speaker 10: right in double coverage, right.

2026
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:59,000
Speaker 1: Guess a bad fro kind of giving Aaron Rodgers some

2027
01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,240
Speaker 1: credit here. Also, someone whose podcast I would have no

2028
01:43:02,320 --> 01:43:07,640
Speaker 1: interest in. Does Aaron Rodgers have a podcast? Chibably, Oh,

2029
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:09,760
Speaker 1: they'll do a podcast that has like nothing to do

2030
01:43:09,840 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 1: with football. Ben Ben Roethlisberger on Meathead and the Dues

2031
01:43:15,479 --> 01:43:16,800
Speaker 1: or whoever that other guy is.

2032
01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:17,320
Speaker 10: I don't know.

2033
01:43:17,800 --> 01:43:23,320
Speaker 1: That's the explanation. Because the field they painted it white,

2034
01:43:23,560 --> 01:43:25,840
Speaker 1: and the Bengals were wearing white, and everybody in the

2035
01:43:25,880 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 1: stands wearing white. There's do what you want with that.

2036
01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:35,479
Speaker 1: I believe that strains credibility. Aaron Rodgers has played in

2037
01:43:35,560 --> 01:43:40,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty four NFL games, but he has

2038
01:43:40,240 --> 01:43:43,000
Speaker 1: a hard time if the players are wearing white, the

2039
01:43:43,080 --> 01:43:45,760
Speaker 1: fans are wearing white, and parts of the field are

2040
01:43:45,800 --> 01:43:46,479
Speaker 1: painted white.

2041
01:43:49,040 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 10: So whoever plays Fisburg, just play where a white rest

2042
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:51,640
Speaker 10: of the year.

2043
01:43:51,800 --> 01:43:55,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, just you know, paint the field white, put the

2044
01:43:55,320 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 1: fans in white where your white unis, and Aaron Rodgers

2045
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: will just give you the game. All right, Well, there's

2046
01:44:01,800 --> 01:44:06,040
Speaker 1: does Ben Roethlisberger's take on that particular play? Ben Roethlisberger,

2047
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:08,559
Speaker 1: By the way, we have just done more to promote

2048
01:44:08,600 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: Ben Roethlisberger's podcast that we have anything else. So by

2049
01:44:12,400 --> 01:44:15,000
Speaker 1: all means, go listen to the rest of that amazing episode,

2050
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,519
Speaker 1: and I'm sure it's great. Does Ben Roethlisberger just talk

2051
01:44:18,560 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: about football? Do they dive into other topics? And what

2052
01:44:21,640 --> 01:44:22,479
Speaker 1: are those topics?

2053
01:44:22,640 --> 01:44:23,360
Speaker 10: I will never know.

2054
01:44:27,520 --> 01:44:29,719
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, Wes Miller talked today. You know, he's the coach

2055
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:33,559
Speaker 1: of the Bearcats Big twelve Media days winding down in

2056
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:38,759
Speaker 1: Kansas City today. Wes's team on Friday, there was a

2057
01:44:38,840 --> 01:44:42,240
Speaker 1: hell of a lot more than good, including the Shawnabye

2058
01:44:42,280 --> 01:44:46,800
Speaker 1: of experience. Here is Wes answering the question. Now these

2059
01:44:46,840 --> 01:44:49,200
Speaker 1: are with Fran for Scilla, correct? And who else?

2060
01:44:50,240 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 10: I forget already?

2061
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: All right, good Fran for Scilla and some other guy

2062
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:56,519
Speaker 1: again tarn and I did not make it to rehearsal today.

2063
01:44:57,360 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 1: Fran for Scilla and some other dude who When I

2064
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:02,880
Speaker 1: hear his voice, I might be able to tell you

2065
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 1: who it is.

2066
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 10: Oh, we we just hear to Wes Miller.

2067
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:07,599
Speaker 1: Oh, just the Wes Miller answer. So it's irrelevant who's

2068
01:45:07,600 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: asking the questions? Right, here's Wes Miller answering the question,

2069
01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:13,200
Speaker 1: what gives you hope this season.

2070
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:14,960
Speaker 14: Of the league.

2071
01:45:14,960 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 23: It's not just great at the top, which it is,

2072
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:22,000
Speaker 23: it's great all the way through. There's unbelievable coaching, there's

2073
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 23: unbelievable players.

2074
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:25,679
Speaker 14: There's a lot of older players in this league.

2075
01:45:25,720 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 23: I mean, you get guys in their fourth and fifth

2076
01:45:27,520 --> 01:45:31,240
Speaker 23: year that are old, tough, talented and smart. And then

2077
01:45:31,240 --> 01:45:32,920
Speaker 23: this year we're going to have so many great young

2078
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,600
Speaker 23: players as a part of that. It's awesome though, Like

2079
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 23: that's the there's challenges every single night, but it's an

2080
01:45:40,040 --> 01:45:41,679
Speaker 23: awesome opportunity every night.

2081
01:45:42,520 --> 01:45:43,679
Speaker 14: I think more than anything.

2082
01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:46,120
Speaker 23: After two years, there's just a better perspective of how

2083
01:45:46,160 --> 01:45:48,240
Speaker 23: to prepare for it, and I think that's what we've

2084
01:45:48,240 --> 01:45:50,960
Speaker 23: been excited as we tack our preseason at Cincinnati.

2085
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:54,920
Speaker 1: All Right, So there's Wes Miller. Cincinnati last year was

2086
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:58,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and seventy second in the country in pace.

2087
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,040
Speaker 1: So every coach this time of year talks about wanting

2088
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,160
Speaker 1: to play faster. Very few coaches, especially since Tony been

2089
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:09,880
Speaker 1: into West Virginia has retired, very few coaches are like,

2090
01:46:09,920 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 1: you know, we want to play as slow as possible.

2091
01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:14,920
Speaker 1: Every coach this time of year talks about wanting to

2092
01:46:14,920 --> 01:46:17,560
Speaker 1: play faster. Wes Miller had a team last year we

2093
01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 1: thought was going to play fast, two hundred and seventy

2094
01:46:20,360 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 1: second in the country in pace. So here's Wes on

2095
01:46:23,280 --> 01:46:26,120
Speaker 1: this year's team wanting to play faster this season.

2096
01:46:27,080 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 23: Trying to play with the unbelievable pace. We've always wanted

2097
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,800
Speaker 23: to try to push the pace as a program. This

2098
01:46:33,920 --> 01:46:36,479
Speaker 23: should be the fastest we've ever played, and that we've

2099
01:46:36,479 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 23: done that throughout our summer and our preseason, and some

2100
01:46:39,600 --> 01:46:43,040
Speaker 23: of its depth, some of it is our personnel. You

2101
01:46:43,080 --> 01:46:45,400
Speaker 23: don't bring kerk Criesha to your team if you don't

2102
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:46,240
Speaker 23: want to play fast.

2103
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:48,280
Speaker 14: I mean he he wants to.

2104
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:51,120
Speaker 23: Play fast every possession, but he also makes people want

2105
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:53,160
Speaker 23: to play fast with him because he advances the ball

2106
01:46:53,240 --> 01:46:53,719
Speaker 23: so well.

2107
01:46:54,520 --> 01:46:55,840
Speaker 14: So I think pace will be big.

2108
01:46:56,280 --> 01:46:58,920
Speaker 23: We're going to be trying to be very connected on

2109
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,439
Speaker 23: both sides of the and it's intentional, like we're not

2110
01:47:02,479 --> 01:47:04,280
Speaker 23: just saying be a connected group. We're trying to be

2111
01:47:04,320 --> 01:47:07,960
Speaker 23: intentional about it from day one. And then there's an

2112
01:47:07,960 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 23: aggressive We're at Cincinnati, there's an aggressive approach to our

2113
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:14,000
Speaker 23: community when it comes to sports.

2114
01:47:14,439 --> 01:47:15,840
Speaker 14: We're going to be an aggressive team.

2115
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 23: So whether that's being aggressive offensively, being aggressive on the

2116
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:22,120
Speaker 23: offensive class making sure we do some things to make

2117
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 23: our defense more aggressive, and I think we have the

2118
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:26,759
Speaker 23: versatility defensively to do that as well.

2119
01:47:26,760 --> 01:47:29,479
Speaker 1: By the way he is answering questions from Matt Chick

2120
01:47:29,760 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 1: Sean Farnham, I once ran the board for Sean Farnham

2121
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:35,960
Speaker 1: and for Fran for Schilla at Big twelve media days.

2122
01:47:36,400 --> 01:47:39,719
Speaker 1: Now here's less addressing the fact that he has better

2123
01:47:39,960 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 1: players with more skill. Skill players will call them that

2124
01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:46,000
Speaker 1: will help his team score better in the half court.

2125
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:50,120
Speaker 23: We had our first exhibition and it's just an exhibition

2126
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,120
Speaker 23: and you guys know this stuff that don't count in October.

2127
01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:53,400
Speaker 14: But we scored one hundred.

2128
01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:54,840
Speaker 23: I don't know if we could have scored a hundred

2129
01:47:54,840 --> 01:47:58,719
Speaker 23: against anybody last year. So I think we have much

2130
01:47:58,800 --> 01:48:01,920
Speaker 23: more skill across the board. I think we have more

2131
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:05,880
Speaker 23: decision making just with some of the pieces that were added.

2132
01:48:06,240 --> 01:48:08,439
Speaker 23: So I think we can generate offense in different ways.

2133
01:48:08,840 --> 01:48:12,800
Speaker 23: We can play through the post with Mustapha Cham I mean,

2134
01:48:12,840 --> 01:48:15,160
Speaker 23: he can score down there and that's been exciting because

2135
01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 23: he's evolving as this young player. But you can throw

2136
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,400
Speaker 23: it to him and he can do things over both shoulders.

2137
01:48:21,320 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 23: Jalen Haynes was a guy we were going to do

2138
01:48:22,960 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 23: that with a lot. But we can score in the

2139
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 23: front court Baba Miller, through the post, we can generate

2140
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,160
Speaker 23: through pick and roll, or through space. We can generate

2141
01:48:31,160 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 23: with cutting, and then we have a lot more shooting

2142
01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:35,360
Speaker 23: as well. And you know, listen, I want to get

2143
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,200
Speaker 23: easy ones early in the clock and we're going to

2144
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:38,280
Speaker 23: really try to push the pace.

2145
01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:39,840
Speaker 14: I think that's where we can be different in all

2146
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:40,479
Speaker 14: those areas.

2147
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:43,200
Speaker 1: You know, it's been described that they they're Noah's Ark.

2148
01:48:43,280 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 1: They have two of everything we will see. I'm really

2149
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 1: gonna like to Shanna Bay have experience, gonna like the

2150
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:51,880
Speaker 1: sincere Harris experience. And by the way, he was a

2151
01:48:51,880 --> 01:48:54,840
Speaker 1: factor in that off in that game offensively, and he

2152
01:48:54,960 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 1: has known and understandably so for being well, call him

2153
01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: a defensive special. Let's do that. Let's play one more.

2154
01:49:01,840 --> 01:49:05,000
Speaker 1: Wes Miller cut day A. Thomas is back. Here's Wes

2155
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:06,400
Speaker 1: on the importance of his return.

2156
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 23: Every question about Dada Thomas makes me smile and makes

2157
01:49:10,920 --> 01:49:12,280
Speaker 23: me appreciate the question.

2158
01:49:14,200 --> 01:49:15,040
Speaker 14: What he means.

2159
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 23: Somebody said you don't have many returners. We have three,

2160
01:49:18,479 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 23: but Dada's worth three himself. I mean, he's been in

2161
01:49:21,120 --> 01:49:23,599
Speaker 23: our program now for two years. He's played two years

2162
01:49:23,600 --> 01:49:27,479
Speaker 23: in the Big twelve. He represents everything that we value

2163
01:49:27,479 --> 01:49:30,840
Speaker 23: in Cincinnati basketball, and he's learned now how to lead

2164
01:49:31,400 --> 01:49:33,480
Speaker 23: and project those things onto his teammates.

2165
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:36,439
Speaker 14: So he is so important to us. I will say

2166
01:49:36,439 --> 01:49:37,120
Speaker 14: this as a player.

2167
01:49:37,160 --> 01:49:40,439
Speaker 23: He's playing his best basketball of his college careers healthy again,

2168
01:49:40,920 --> 01:49:41,959
Speaker 23: so I'm really excited.

2169
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:43,080
Speaker 14: And then Fran knows this.

2170
01:49:43,280 --> 01:49:46,760
Speaker 23: In our league, you're just going to have possessions that

2171
01:49:46,840 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 23: gets stalled, and we don't want to have as many

2172
01:49:48,880 --> 01:49:51,320
Speaker 23: as we had a year ago. But it's sometimes the

2173
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:52,840
Speaker 23: chips are down and you have to have guys that

2174
01:49:52,880 --> 01:49:55,880
Speaker 23: can go make a play without an advantage. Data can

2175
01:49:55,920 --> 01:49:57,680
Speaker 23: do that and he's doing it better now than he

2176
01:49:57,720 --> 01:49:59,640
Speaker 23: ever has. And then we have a young player and

2177
01:49:59,680 --> 01:50:01,280
Speaker 23: Shawn buy if they can do that as well.

2178
01:50:01,280 --> 01:50:02,320
Speaker 14: So we have a couple.

2179
01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:04,920
Speaker 23: Guys for the first time that the chips will be down,

2180
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:06,880
Speaker 23: and it's gonna be fun to watch them go create

2181
01:50:06,920 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 23: offense when offense isn't there.

2182
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:10,639
Speaker 1: We you know, it's Wes Miller, a big twelve media days.

2183
01:50:10,680 --> 01:50:12,920
Speaker 1: What we should do is get Ben Roethlisberger's thoughts on

2184
01:50:12,960 --> 01:50:17,320
Speaker 1: everything like college basketball WHEK and be like, oh, well,

2185
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:22,840
Speaker 1: the players are wearing white and they have a white out.

2186
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 1: If they paint the court white, the.

2187
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:26,160
Speaker 5: Other team, you're.

2188
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,559
Speaker 1: Gonna throw the ball away.

2189
01:50:28,520 --> 01:50:29,280
Speaker 10: I'll pass.

2190
01:50:31,800 --> 01:50:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, you could say a lot of things about

2191
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:37,040
Speaker 1: the content of this program every day, but for the

2192
01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,800
Speaker 1: life of me, and there's a lot of podcasts that
