I 43 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 4: was in the ninth grade. I was going into my 44 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 4: ninth grade freshman year of high school when that, when 45 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 4: that came came out, and I was just like you know, 46 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 4: I thought the whole movie was super cool, and so 47 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 4: that was one of those signature moments. I don't know why. 48 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 4: And the craziest thing is is when you're younger, you're 49 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: so influenced by things like we really was like trying 50 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 4: to do everything. Now, we never spit in each other's mouth. 51 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 4: But I did paint. I did paint a skull on 52 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 4: my face, and I did paint. We were you know, 53 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 4: they were the North Hills Indian So I did paint 54 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 4: an Indian Indian face. 55 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 3: That was pretty good too. 56 00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: Only problem is the thing that they don't, you know, 57 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 4: make very clear to you, Jonas, is that that paint 58 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 4: runs when you're in a real game and it's not 59 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 4: a movie like when it's the real thing, that paint runs. 60 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 4: So by the third play, I was like, you know, 61 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 4: rubbing my eyes like profusely to get that, Like my 62 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 4: eyes was just getting irritated, is all get out from 63 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: the paint, you know.

Uh? 113 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,480 Speaker 4: You know it's interesting my mom, I didn't speak very 114 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: well growing up, as some people may allude to when 115 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 4: they comment on how the show goes. But if you 116 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 4: could hear how I sounded when I first started speaking 117 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,160 Speaker 4: to the uh, to the media. I always tell the 118 00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 4: story my mother. My mother took a interview that I 119 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 4: did and we watched it, and she said, do you 120 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:32,479 Speaker 4: like the way you sound? 121 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 3: And I said no, I don't I say, you know? 122 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 4: And I had so many crutch words. Uh, that was 123 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: most of my language was crutch words. And clearly I 124 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 4: had a way heavier Pittsburgh accent back then. I know 125 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 4: people hear it now and say he says words funny 126 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: and different. Well, it's just a dialect. I worked to 127 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 4: get through it. But what happened was is my mom said, 128 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 4: every morning before I go to school, come meet me, 129 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 4: and while you're brushing your teeth and stuff like that, 130 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 4: instead of going to the other, you know, the restroom 131 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: that me and my brothers use, come to my room, 132 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: and when you're brushing your teeth, I'm gonna ask you questions. 133 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 3: You know. 134 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 4: So my mom used to make me look in the 135 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 4: mirror and she would ask me questions. And she would 136 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: always say, if you say or well, you know, or 137 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 4: any crutch words, practice stopping. Like every time she'd ask me, 138 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: she said how'd you feel about the game today, or 139 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: how do you feel about going into the game this week? 140 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: And anytime I would say a crutch word, I'd have 141 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,679 Speaker 4: to stop. And that process went on for like years. 142 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,080 Speaker 4: My mom would ask me questions. I would look in 143 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 4: the mirror to see how I looked, and that was 144 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:55,320 Speaker 4: how I learned to speak better. And so as I 145 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: learned to speak better, it made me more confident to 146 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 4: be able to you know, I grew up in the church, 147 00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 4: so you understand that in the church. You know, my 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: father was a deacon, ended up becoming an ordained minister. 149 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: So he's a social anxiety dude too, but he would 150 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: be able to get up in front of the congregation 151 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 4: and deliver good sermons. And I asked him what worked 152 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 4: for him, and he basically just said, be yourself, you know, 153 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 4: find a way to be so authentically yourself that you 154 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: don't feel as though you know the things that you're 155 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 4: doing or the things that you are saying aren't hitting 156 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: home with the people. He's like, it's not about if 157 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 4: it's hitting home with the people, it's about how you 158 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 4: feel about the things that you're saying and not really 159 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 4: resonated with me. And that was how I started to 160 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 4: being you know, beginning to have the confidence to be 161 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: able to do radio or do television or mc an event, 162 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:48,719 Speaker 4: even though it scares the death out of me. It 163 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 4: scares me to death, but it's still it's still fun 164 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 4: to take on the challenge of being able to do it, 165 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 4: even just talking to people on the street, you know, 166 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 4: going back home, going back to Pittsburgh. I didn't think 167 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 4: so many people would remember, you know, who I am. 168 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 4: I guess I got a distinct look to me, you know, 169 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 4: I got that big windshield wipe or forehead. So I 170 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 4: think people actually recognize, you know, maybe they won't remember 171 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,240 Speaker 4: the name, so to speak. 172 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: At least this is in my mind. 173 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 4: But a lot of people recognize me, and I always 174 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: make it a point to have a conversation with anyone 175 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 4: who recognizes me. Like if you recognize me and you 176 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,559 Speaker 4: want to have a conversation, I don't do the whole 177 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 4: you know, hey, good to meet you and keep moving 178 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 4: or you know, okay, thanks, all right, goodbye. You know, 179 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:39,719 Speaker 4: I want to have an experience, just like they want 180 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 4: to have an experience, because it's always a kick in 181 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 4: the head when somebody recognizes you. It's like I was 182 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 4: so good at something that people chose to acknowledge me 183 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 4: or commit me to memory. Where if they actually see 184 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 4: me out it's like, oh that's LeVar Arrington, which is 185 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 4: pretty cool to me. So I'd be wanting to hear 186 00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,920 Speaker 4: what they have to say as well. More so than 187 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 4: what they want to hear me say to them, I'll 188 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,520 Speaker 4: be wanting to hear it because I feel like it's 189 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 4: pretty cool when people become a fan of you or 190 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 4: actually thought so much of you that they remember who 191 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 4: you are for good things, not bad things. So that 192 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 4: was how I learned how to talk and speak much 193 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,079 Speaker 4: better than what I did, and it gave me the 194 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 4: confidence my mommy. My mom gave me the confidence to 195 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 4: be able to stand up in front of people and talk, 196 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 4: and so I do pretty well. 197 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 3: That's awesome. 198 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: That's actually a good, good method when you get it 199 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: broken there, and every time you go and do a 200 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 1: crutch for it, just stop. 201 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:43,120 Speaker 4: It's crazy because what you don't realize is using crutch 202 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: words takes the same amount of time that it does 203 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,880 Speaker 4: to just stop and think about what you want to 204 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 4: say next. 205 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 3: It feels like an eternity right you say. 206 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 4: You know or like or these certain things, because you 207 00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 4: feel as though the amount of time from your last 208 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 4: word to the next word you're going to say is 209 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 4: so long, But it's really not. Once you realize that, 210 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,560 Speaker 4: it's not a whole lot of time that lapses, which, 211 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: by the way, if you're speaking and you're being interviewed. 212 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 4: They want to hear what you have to say, so 213 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: they'll wait, you know, if you take a little bit 214 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,079 Speaker 4: of time, they'll wait. I'd rather you say I answered, 215 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 4: I speak slowly versus say I speak fast and say 216 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 4: like you know, in so many different crutch words during 217 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,360 Speaker 4: the time that I'm speaking. So it was it was 218 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: super effective. It did, it did. My mom did an 219 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 4: excellent job, and she was an educator. Three degree educator, 220 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 4: you know, degrees from Central State, degrees from Duquanne University, 221 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 4: very well educated and very very very skilled at teaching. 222 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: And she did a great job with teaching me how 223 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 4: to speak. Because if you would have hurt me in 224 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 4: the eighth from from third grade to eighth grade, ninth grade, 225 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 4: if you'd have hurt me speak, you'd have been like, dude, 226 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 4: I had as much Pittsburgh slang as you could possibly 227 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 4: have in terms of speaking. 228 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 1: So also, something your dad mentioned about the be yourself. 229 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: If you're yourself, you got nothing to worry about as 230 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,079 Speaker 1: far as you having stage fright or public speaking or 231 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 1: anything like that. It's the same thing as tying your shoes. 232 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: If it's natural, you don't remember doing it. If you've 233 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 1: done it, so much that just becomes part of the 234 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: day and it becomes natural. You don't remember, Oh you 235 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 1: tire shoes yesterday. Yeah, but I don't remember. 236 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 2: I just did it. Like once you learn it, it 237 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 2: becomes a natural action. And so when you're. 238 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 4: Talking about such an exhilarating experience when you first learned 239 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: out to tie you. 240 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,079 Speaker 1: I got arrogant about it too. I went double knots. 241 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: I still go double knots just to show people. Okay, 242 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,160 Speaker 1: it's the bunny air. Wrap it around my ass. I'm 243 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: doing it twice. I just learned this. Yeah, it's like. 244 00:12:59,200 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 3: Learning how to cook. 245 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 2: What are you gonna make? Grilled cheese? Grilled cheese? My ass? 246 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:08,679 Speaker 3: Watch this, I'm doing double decker broach. Please. 247 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,559 Speaker 2: Man, Once you learn how to do it, you just 248 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 2: let it fly. 249 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: But yeah, to his point, if it's natural, you don't 250 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: think about it, and you're not worried about what the 251 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: reaction is going to be. You just do it because 252 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: that's just your natural action at that best. 253 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: Right. 254 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:25,680 Speaker 4: So that's right, big mic, big mic, big mic shots 255 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 4: out the big mic. 256 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: It is two pros and a cup of Joey or 257 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio.

By the way, I 263 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: can't like in my mind, I'm looking at all the 264 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 4: people that are out looking at televisions and sitting around 265 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 4: and celebrating dance like that is the perfect time.

For over forty years, 341 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: ti Iraq has been helping customers find the right tires 342 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,439 Speaker 1: for how, what and where they drive, shift fast and 343 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: freeback by free Road has a protection with convenient installation 344 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: options like mobile tire installation tire iraq dot Com the 345 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 1: way tire buying should be. 346 00:17:57,960 --> 00:17:58,160 Speaker 3: Now. 347 00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,199 Speaker 1: For those of you that maybe aren't familiar with this, 348 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: I think some of the criticism levied by LeVar Arrington 349 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: toward the Bengals organization has just been rude, to be 350 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: honest with you. 351 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 3: But flat out route. 352 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: Flat out rude. But according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, 353 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: the Bengals and Trey Hendrickson have resumed talks on a 354 00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 1: contract extension. We got positive signs there, Bar, we got 355 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 1: positive signs there. 356 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 2: So here we are, middle of June, middle of June. 357 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: We know what he wants. We know what Trey Hendrickson 358 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 1: is looking for. He wants to be paid. He's been 359 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,199 Speaker 1: asking for it. He is not shown up to and 360 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: participate in any of the off season activities other than 361 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,800 Speaker 1: to show up and have a press conference, basically ripping 362 00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: the organization and their negotiations. He's subject to a little 363 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 1: over one hundred thousand dollars in fines. But if they're 364 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: able to get this worked out and figured out, maybe 365 00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: it's a brand new era of Bengals football where a 366 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: disgruntled star gets paid and then we're off and running 367 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 1: and looking towards the season. 368 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 4: Towards the season, I think it's super important for them 369 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 4: to be able to really put these issues to rest. 370 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 4: Jonas for the simple fact that when you're looking at 371 00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: the possibilities of what exists for the Cincinnati Bengals, it's 372 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 4: the slow starts that put them behind. So if you 373 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 4: get everybody in, you get your leader in and Hendrickson, 374 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,359 Speaker 4: you get your rookie sign and get over this whole. 375 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 4: Whatever the discrepancies on the guarantees, you know, canceled guarantees, whatever, 376 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 4: void of guaranteetees, whatever it is, you get through those things. 377 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,199 Speaker 4: You get your two defensive ends in, you shore up 378 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 4: that defensive front, and you prepare yourself for the year 379 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:54,920 Speaker 4: to come. 380 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 3: You got a healthy Joe. 381 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,159 Speaker 4: Burrow, you got too happy, uh, too happy receiver that 382 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: just got their money and chasing Boyd And so to me, 383 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 4: I really believe the stars are aligning for Cincinnati to 384 00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 4: have a productive, really really good year. But you got 385 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 4: to stop playing around with issues like this, especially with 386 00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,880 Speaker 4: players like Hendrickson. Now, I will say, you think about it, 387 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: he does have more on his contract. He is under contract, 388 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 4: so there's a level of Hendrickson has to be reasonable 389 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 4: as well and what it is that he's doing in 390 00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,639 Speaker 4: his approach to everything that's taking place. But if they 391 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 4: can figure that out and they can get everything short 392 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 4: up and just focusing in on football, then Jonas, it 393 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 4: looks like, you know, you take a look at the 394 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 4: Cleveland Browns. I don't know what's going to happen with 395 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:01,719 Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns. It could be a show of epic 396 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,479 Speaker 4: proportions for the Browns this year. I don't know, they 397 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 4: could be really good this year. I just don't think 398 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 4: anybody knows what the Browns are going to be. But 399 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: it's the question mark begs to say, it's an opportunity. 400 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,400 Speaker 4: You look at the Pittsburgh Steelers. I feel the same 401 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 4: exact way the question marks actually say there's an opportunity. 402 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 4: You look at the Baltimore Ravens. That is the only 403 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 4: team that you sit there. And if I'm the Cincinnati 404 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 4: Bengals and I say, win against the other two teams, 405 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 4: and we got to figure out how do we get 406 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 4: it done against the Baltimore Ravens. 407 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 3: It's going to be a two. 408 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 4: Horse race in my estimation, and that's. 409 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:48,639 Speaker 3: Who they got to be focused in on. 410 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 4: So it's a golden opportunity for them to get either 411 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 4: a wild card spot or actually even compete for the 412 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 4: Division and the AFC North. Because I don't believe I'm 413 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:03,439 Speaker 4: if I'm measuring it in a wig in it based 414 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 4: off of the question marks at the position, both both 415 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 4: quarterback positions in Cleveland and in Pittsburgh are in question, 416 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 4: and that's the position you don't want to have in 417 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 4: question going into a season. So if I'm Cincinnati, make 418 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 4: everything right, get back to just focusing in on football 419 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 4: and get ready for the season. 420 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,480 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers reiterated this. I want to say a couple 421 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,280 Speaker 1: of years ago, the last offseason or the year before, 422 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: but his point was every year, there's about eight to 423 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,879 Speaker 1: twelve teams who are legitimate Super Bowl contenders that you 424 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: look at and go, oh, I could see them winning 425 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, And there's probably about eight. I would 426 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 1: put it on the lower portion of his estimate as 427 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,159 Speaker 1: far as teams that you look at and go all right, tho, 428 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 1: I could actually see them win a Super Bowl. I 429 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: put Cincinnati on that list. And part of the reason 430 00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 1: I put Cincinnati on that list is because they do 431 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback, and they have a franchise quarterback 432 00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 1: who's won big games in the postseason. We've seen it, 433 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 1: We've seen it happen before. So if you're the Bengals 434 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: and you know you're one of those teams on the 435 00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 1: short list, I'm not screwing around, as you laid it 436 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 1: out with altering the window altering the opportunity for the 437 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 1: window to shut alter. 438 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:25,719 Speaker 2: No, this is my chance. 439 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: I've got a real opportunity here to go and win 440 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl. 441 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,920 Speaker 2: If this was somebody who was. 442 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,960 Speaker 1: Looking for a new contract and you know, maybe there 443 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: were some questions or he was coming off you know, 444 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: injuries or a down year, I could totally get that. 445 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: Trey Hendrickson led the league in sacks, He's done it 446 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,719 Speaker 1: multiple years in a row to be able to produce 447 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,480 Speaker 1: at a high level. He's outplayed his contract by a mile. 448 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: This should be something that they need to get done 449 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 1: and get figured out, because, as you said, when you 450 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 1: start playing around with this, now you're playing around with 451 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 1: a real opportunity to chase the title. If you are 452 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: one of those eight to twelve teams and they are 453 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: that are legitimate Super Bowl contenders. 454 00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: And I just look at it and I. 455 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 1: Go if I'm the organization and I have a chance 456 00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: here to do something we've never done in the history 457 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: of the organization. That takes care of a lot of 458 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 1: problems on the back end. But you've got to invent 459 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 1: and you've got to invest on the front end in 460 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: order to make that happen. Figure this out, get it 461 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,919 Speaker 1: done and stop jacking around with an opportunity to go 462 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 1: chase the title and really actually win a super Bowl 463 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: this time and not come up short like you have 464 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:37,879 Speaker 1: in years past. 465 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 4: I totally agree, and I think that it ultimately comes 466 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 4: down to trusting what it is that the plan is. 467 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 4: And if the plan is indeed to try to win 468 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 4: a Super Bowl, which would you would assume? The bottom 469 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 4: line is number one on the list and winning a 470 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 4: Super Bowl has to be high in the top five 471 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 4: of things you want to achieve and accomplish as an 472 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: organization in the National Football League. And and so just 473 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 4: assuming that, knowing that rising tides, you know, they raise 474 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,080 Speaker 4: all ships, why would you not want to win a 475 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 4: Super Bowl? That makes your team more more investible, more valuable. 476 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 4: It makes the players that are on the team more investible, 477 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 4: more more desirable, and more valuable. It just it's it's 478 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 Speaker 4: good for business, it's good for everything. If you have 479 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 4: a successful team and they've shown they can be successful, 480 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,640 Speaker 4: they do not have questions at the quarterbacks position. Only 481 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: question would be can Joe Burrow stay healthy? Can he 482 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,639 Speaker 4: stay healthy through the mix of the entire season not 483 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:54,640 Speaker 4: have any major setbacks physically in the in the course 484 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: of the season, and if Joe Burrow stays healthy with 485 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 4: the receiving corps that he has, you're going to have 486 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 4: a lot of offense. The biggest question mark outside of 487 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's arm, which you know obviously that is the 488 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 4: biggest key, But you gotta have a defense. You know, 489 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 4: you gotta have a defense. You got to be able 490 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 4: to stop other offenses. And that's going to be a 491 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 4: question mark for the Cincinnati Bengals. If they were to 492 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 4: not have as productive a year as some may be 493 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:30,040 Speaker 4: prognosticating or assuming the type of year they may have, 494 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: it's most likely going to be because they don't have 495 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 4: a defense that is sturdy enough to get through the 496 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 4: AFC North. 497 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,680 Speaker 1: And also, i mean, let's just call what it is. 498 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: They've missed the playoffs last two years. If you're Zach Taylor, 499 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: how many more opportunities are you going to get? I mean, 500 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: you missed the playoffs three years in a row, and 501 00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow's your starting quarterback, there's going to be real 502 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 1: discussions to be had about whether or not Zach Taylor's 503 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 1: the guy for the job. So he's feeling the heat. 504 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: There's a lot of people there that are feeling the 505 00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: heat because the clock ticking. And we broke this down 506 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: when it was happening because last offseason and going all 507 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: throughout the year, and we were having discussions about it. 508 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 1: It's like, hey man, they've got Jamar Chase, they've got 509 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: T Higgins, and they've got Trey Hendrickson, and it's like, 510 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: all right, well if you have to pay two of 511 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: the three. And I think a lot of people felt like, 512 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: all right, well, you get Jamar Chase done obviously, you 513 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: get Trey Hendrickson done obviously, and if you can make 514 00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 1: it work with T Higgins, if you can make it 515 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:34,479 Speaker 1: work with T Higgins, yes, maybe you go in that direction. 516 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 2: Instead. They got both the wide. 517 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: Receivers taken care of and the star defensive players looking 518 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: around going what about me? 519 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 2: And they're like, eh, yeah, I don't know. 520 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 1: It's just like, what like the way that they've handled 521 00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: this and the way that they've operated is just a 522 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 1: little strange to me. And I don't know how many 523 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:57,399 Speaker 1: organizations would have would have decided on paying T Higgins 524 00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 1: and getting that taken care of instead of going the 525 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: direction should have Trey Hendrickson. 526 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 3: It's a little strange. Yeah, I said Boyd. 527 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 4: I don't know why I didn't say, Higgins, that's that's 528 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 4: a slip. 529 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 3: I just met Tyler. 530 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:15,160 Speaker 4: Boyd by the way, anyway, Yeah, uh, you know, it's 531 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 4: it's a It's a very valid point. But I will say, 532 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 4: you shored up your offense, and there should be no 533 00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 4: excuses in terms of the product you receive on the 534 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 4: offensive side of the ball. 535 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 3: Now, I would assume. 536 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 4: It's within their strategy and they've tried to maybe rework 537 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 4: it or figure it out how to try to get 538 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 4: hendricks into a place of where he's comfortable and happy 539 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 4: with a contract, but they're comfortable and happy with the 540 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: contract as well. I would assume that's what they're trying 541 00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:55,360 Speaker 4: to do right now. I don't believe this is posturing 542 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 4: of any any kind. I think they It would be 543 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 4: ridiculous to think that they don't want Hendrickson back, considering that, 544 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 4: as you mentioned, his output was amazing, top of the league, 545 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:13,120 Speaker 4: and you still didn't have a very good defense. So 546 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 4: you have to hope that the additions that you've made 547 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: this offseason are going to go a very long way 548 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 4: in terms of the success of your defense. It has 549 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 4: to be much better than what it was last season. 550 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,880 Speaker 4: So I don't think I don't have a problem with 551 00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,640 Speaker 4: them getting everybody done on offense. And if Hendrickson wants 552 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 4: to have a problem based upon them suring up their offense, 553 00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,280 Speaker 4: that's something he's got to work on personally. That's a 554 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:45,840 Speaker 4: personal decision for him. He's got to put himself in 555 00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 4: the best position to be signable. And the Cincinnati Bengals 556 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 4: have got to take into consideration that this man has 557 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 4: been a very productive player. And this is a totally 558 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 4: discriminate league is all about discrimination, and the discrimination, no, 559 00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 4: it really is. 560 00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:06,280 Speaker 3: Listen. 561 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 4: I learned that a long time ago. Somebody, a coach, 562 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 4: told me that this is pure discrimination. They discriminate on 563 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 4: how you look, how you're built, what your body fat is, 564 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,400 Speaker 4: how fast you run, how high you can jump, how 565 00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: you handle blockers, how you catch the ball, how you 566 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 4: throw the ball, your finger size, your finger length. Yeah, 567 00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 4: all of that, right. So it's a discriminatory business. And 568 00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 4: the one the biggest thing that they discriminate on is production. 569 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 3: The way you're treated and the way. 570 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 4: Things are handled is based off of how productive you are. 571 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:48,440 Speaker 4: It's a production business, and Hendrickson has been productive and 572 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 4: so and knowing that he's been as productive as he's been. 573 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 4: They got to be into they got to be aware 574 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 4: of the fact that you got to compensate production because 575 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 4: that's what this league is based upon. 576 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: And he can't show up right like, he can't cave 577 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:05,720 Speaker 1: at this point with how however, with how hard he's 578 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,880 Speaker 1: come at the organization in what he's asking for and 579 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: what he's demanding, even though he does have that one 580 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: year under contract, he can't cave at this point. He's 581 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: got to be locked in, all in on getting a 582 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 1: new deal or getting traded elsewhere. 583 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 2: Like that's got to happen, Like it's gotta happen. 584 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 4: Well, I would say again, while he outperformed his contract, 585 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,000 Speaker 4: he signed the contract, and there's always that caveat. I 586 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 4: know there will always be debates and discussions. Well, he 587 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 4: outplayed his contract, and look at what this guy's getting 588 00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:44,280 Speaker 4: paid over here. Look at what this guy's getting paid 589 00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 4: over here. You out played your contract, but it is 590 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 4: still indeed a contract. So I don't if if you 591 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,959 Speaker 4: want to call it caving in, you know, I don't know. 592 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 4: I don't know that you call it caving in if 593 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 4: he comes back and he plays, just for the simple 594 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 4: fact that it's his contract. Now he could say he 595 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:11,800 Speaker 4: could take it as far as he wants to take it. 596 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 4: But do you want to be a sit out? Do 597 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 4: you want to lose money? You know, if they can't 598 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:19,880 Speaker 4: trade you and you're not going to come back, then 599 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,720 Speaker 4: now they have the right to find you. And now 600 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 4: not only are you not making the money you be 601 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,080 Speaker 4: making if you had gotten a new contract, but you're 602 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,400 Speaker 4: losing money. 603 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:30,560 Speaker 3: So I don't know. 604 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 4: I don't think the right answer is to stay away 605 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,560 Speaker 4: if they don't do the contract. I think for what 606 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 4: it is worth, you got to suck it up and 607 00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 4: you got to go out there and you got to 608 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 4: play that one year. And just know that at the 609 00:32:44,080 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 4: end of this one year, this last year of the contract, 610 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:53,040 Speaker 4: I'm preparing to go play for another team. 611 00:32:51,360 --> 00:32:54,840 Speaker 1: Unless they franchise. Unless they franchise, which you know, unless 612 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: they franchise, there could always be that too. It is 613 00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: two pros and a cup of Joe here on Fox 614 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:02,720 Speaker 1: Sports Radio, LeVar Arrington, Jonas Knox with you.

Guys. 650 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,759 Speaker 6: In case you missed it, it finally happened. The Red 651 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:37,160 Speaker 6: Sox made a blockbuster trade, trading away their designated hitter, 652 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 6: Rafael Devers. Of course, he was lots of controversy this 653 00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 6: year when they asked him to move from third base 654 00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,239 Speaker 6: to first base, said now he's a designated hitter. Now 655 00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 6: they've moved him to San Francisco where he'll likely be 656 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 6: a designated hitter again. 657 00:34:50,480 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 1: This whole story is hilarious. Yes, the Red Sox had 658 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,200 Speaker 1: this guy playing third base. They go out, they sign 659 00:34:57,320 --> 00:35:00,760 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman. They don't tell him they're signing Alex Bregman, 660 00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:04,000 Speaker 1: who's a third baseman. Then after they signed Bregman to 661 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:09,399 Speaker 1: play third base, they tell their previous third baseman, Rafael Devers, hey, 662 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: so you mind playing DH He gets pissed, finally agrees 663 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,520 Speaker 1: to it. Then their first baseman goes down with an injury. 664 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: They come to Rafael Devers again and say, hey, would 665 00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:24,160 Speaker 1: you mind playing first base? He says, nope, maybe our 666 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: front office should do their job. They're like, okay, I 667 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 1: guess we'll just keep him at DH, and then they 668 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,680 Speaker 1: end up trading him away and they just gave him 669 00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:38,120 Speaker 1: like a ten year contract in twenty twenty three. He's 670 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 1: a great player, three time All Star, and now they've 671 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 1: got to move on from him because they committed to 672 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: Alex Bregman without sorting through what the potential fallout could 673 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:50,640 Speaker 1: be if they made the move. And so now once again, 674 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 1: just like they did Mookie Betts, they traded away a guy, 675 00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:58,800 Speaker 1: a superstar potentially in his prime to the NL West 676 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:02,480 Speaker 1: again job by the Boston Red Sox and the people 677 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: there are there, you go, way to go, socks. 678 00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: But why wouldn't he want to play first base? 679 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 4: Because it's like that the easiest, that's the easiest position 680 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:13,560 Speaker 4: to play. 681 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 3: He's already got his money, right. 682 00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, he already got his money, but he was 683 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: pissed that they wanted to switch positions before, So like, hey, 684 00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:22,480 Speaker 1: could you now go to DH and then you'll just 685 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,480 Speaker 1: hit we'll take you away from third base. He's like, 686 00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:26,719 Speaker 1: all right, fine, but I'm not happy about it. And 687 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,600 Speaker 1: then they're like, hey, would you mind going to first 688 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:29,120 Speaker 1: base too? 689 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:29,719 Speaker 3: Say? 690 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,920 Speaker 1: Whoa hold on a second, you You guys should have 691 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 1: thought this whole thing through. So this was sort of 692 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,600 Speaker 1: his his pushback against the organization for making moves, not 693 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,200 Speaker 1: telling him about it, and then asking him to quote 694 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,879 Speaker 1: unquote cover their ass because they are a guy short 695 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:45,399 Speaker 1: at first pace. 696 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 4: But and I understand, I understand that, But isn't there 697 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 4: something to be said about the idea of your. 698 00:36:57,040 --> 00:37:02,359 Speaker 3: Getting paid handsomely? Yeah? You a job? Yeah don't you? 699 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,479 Speaker 3: I mean, if they're paying him for. 700 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 4: Ten years, and I'm certain it's a whole lot of 701 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:12,799 Speaker 4: money because it's baseball and it's guaranteed, why wouldn't you 702 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 4: just adjust adapt Like why to beef? Why to drama? 703 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 4: That sounds like to me he didn't want to be there, Yes, 704 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:22,799 Speaker 4: what it sounds like? 705 00:37:23,040 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, Like the relationship at that point was probably fractured. 706 00:37:27,560 --> 00:37:29,440 Speaker 1: The owners tried to talk with him and have a 707 00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:32,040 Speaker 1: discussion about it. After he made some comments. They met 708 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: with him and then they realized pretty quick, Okay, this 709 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 1: ain't happening. So now he gets traded to the Giants. 710 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000 Speaker 1: The Giants needed a bat. They've got great pitching there. 711 00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,360 Speaker 1: They're competing with the Dodgers and the Padres in that division, 712 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,879 Speaker 1: and so now they land their dh that they're looking for. 713 00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:49,760 Speaker 1: So they've just improved their offense. 714 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:50,560 Speaker 3: But it's just. 715 00:37:52,239 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 1: It's superstar guaranteed money behavior and the fact that it's 716 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 1: the same organization who moved on from Mookie Bets when 717 00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:05,480 Speaker 1: they did. People in Boston are looking around Cohen, come on, man, like, 718 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,080 Speaker 1: what are we doing. It's already bad enough that Brad 719 00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:11,040 Speaker 1: Marshan is in the Stanley Cup and might win another 720 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:14,640 Speaker 1: Stanley Cup final with the way that he's playing, and 721 00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: he's a former Boston Bruin. The Celtics were eliminated, it's 722 00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:20,799 Speaker 1: a difficult time for Boston sports really. 723 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 3: Trump. 724 00:38:21,239 --> 00:38:24,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, but they they had Big Poppy and all those 725 00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,919 Speaker 4: guys and Manny you know, and all those guys.

Angel Rees had a triple double. And like, 739 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,280 Speaker 1: you're going to bury the lead with Kaitlyn Clark. 740 00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, man, it's just the way. 741 00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:22,240 Speaker 3: What are you erase button?
