Now, let's get to Sunday's game. 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.720 Last January, in a span of four weeks, the Bengals 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:53.080 pulled off two upset wins over the Chiefs that rank 0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:56.680 among the most thrilling wins in team history. In Game one, 0:01:56.880 --> 0:02:01.000 the Bengals trailed fourteen nothing twenty one Evan and twenty 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:04.200 eight fourteen before rallying to win at a walk off 0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:07.320 field goal at the end of regulation by Evan McPherson. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.800 In Game two, the Bengals trailed twenty one to three 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:12.600 with less than two minutes to go in the half 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.519 before fighting back again. This time, the game went to 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:21.280 overtime before a Von Bell interception led to another game 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.440 winner by Money Matt four years ago. He was a 0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:28.360 senior in high school in tiny Fort Payne, Alabama. Now, 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:31.640 the Bengal Super Bowl chances rest on his right foot. 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:41.519 The kick is up. Yeah, yeah, good coffin nails. Bam bam. 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:47.800 That is unblievable. The Cincinnati Bengals bound from behind on 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:53.919 the road. Unbelievable. Dan, it is no fluke. It is 0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:59.440 a fact. The Cincinnati Bengals are headed to Super Bowl 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:04.880 fifty six. They just redefined the word resilient. The winds 0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.280 stopped Patrick Mahomes from getting to the Super Bowl for 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.040 the third consecutive year, and one of the biggest reasons 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.120 why is that Joe Burrow matched him throw for throw 0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:16.600 in their two meetings. Burrow through for six hundred ninety 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:20.760 six yards Mahome through for five thirty four. Joe had 0:03:20.760 --> 0:03:25.040 more touchdown passes six to five and fewer interceptions two 0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:27.920 to one. Here's what Tyler Boyd had to say this 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.639 week about the matchup between the twenty seven year old 0:03:30.680 --> 0:03:33.880 Mahomes and the twenty five year old Burrow. I think 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.000 I kind of looked back of it as like a 0:03:36.240 --> 0:03:40.440 Manning and Brady you know, because you kind of can't 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:42.560 stop him. You know, it's gonna come down to whoever 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.640 um excel and secondvantage of their opportunities in drives, you know, 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:50.560 and score points, you know, with these are the type 0:03:50.560 --> 0:03:53.120 of games when we play. We got to care of 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.840 the football and um, don't don't don't, don't turn it over? 0:03:56.560 --> 0:04:03.320 Who's manning and who's Brady? I mean, is Burrow in 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.840 my homes? You know, I wouldn't compare them, but I 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.600 know those are two guys that you know has records 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:13.120 for the fastest two quarterbacks to reach ten thousand yards. 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.600 So I mean it's kind of hard to stop Burrow. 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.600 It's kind of hard to stop Mahomes. So I mean 0:04:18.640 --> 0:04:20.280 at the end of the day, I think Burrow won 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:23.000 up two up teams. So yeah, so whichever one you 0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:25.000 want to pick, whoever got the most wins and there 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.239 you go. Sunday's game will have a huge TV audience 0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:31.400 at four twenty five on CBS, and this week I 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.520 checked an item off my interviewing bucket list by catching 0:04:35.640 --> 0:04:38.279 up with a play by play announcer for this week's game. 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.520 Remember the famous Saturday Night Live bit when Chris Farley 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.880 is interviewing Paul McCartney, and he's so starstruck that he 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.320 can barely get out of question. Well, this interview might 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:51.760 go the same way as I have the opportunity to 0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:55.080 visit with one of my broadcasting heroes, Jim Nance. Jim, 0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:59.640 You and Tony called both Bengals Chiefs games back in January. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.000 Obviously they were thrillers. Have you had this one circled 0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:07.240 down the schedule since the NFL schedule came out in May? Absolutely? 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:09.720 And Dan, thank you for that build up. My gosh, 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:13.640 I'm not worthy, but I really truly appreciate you so much. 0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:17.160 You're an absolute pros pro and it's an honor to 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.760 be on here with you. I've been thinking about this 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.600 game since since before the schedule came out, because it 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.800 was one of those games I was afraid we might lose. 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:30.039 I wanted to make sure that it landed in our inventory. 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:35.240 So into April when the league did announce what games 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.640 are going to go on what date, I was thrilled 0:05:37.720 --> 0:05:40.120 to see that we had this in the doubleheader window 0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.760 to open up December. It's big, it's gigantic, and it's 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:46.200 pretty amazing to be able to have a matchup technically 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.559 three times in one calendar year for teams that aren't 0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.920 even in the same division. I'll be in the same conference, 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.160 but it's a rarity, and they have been down to 0:05:55.279 --> 0:05:58.000 the wire thrillers the first two and I expect it 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.160 will be the same thing come Sunday. So earlier this week, 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:05.240 Tyler Boyd said that Burrow versus Mahomes is the new 0:06:05.440 --> 0:06:09.160 version of Brady versus Manning. You called a bunch of 0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:13.200 those games. Does this feel similar to you? Yeah? I 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:18.320 think I called somewhere around eleven or twelve of their 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:22.720 seventeen matchups. So you know, the thing that's missing here 0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:26.680 is just time. I mean they're still in their twenties. 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:29.200 I mean they're still in their basically in their mid twenties, 0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:33.640 so it's a little early to go that far with it. 0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.920 I appreciate what Tyler's trying to say. The other thing 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.960 you have here is you have a lot of really 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:44.000 young stars at that position. You can't take anything away 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.600 from what Joe's accomplished so far. It's enormous course Patrick 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:50.360 as well, But you've got Josh Allen sitting out there, 0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.160 and you know you've got You've got Lamar Jackson and 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.560 you've got Justin Herbert and there are others, So it's 0:06:58.200 --> 0:07:00.840 it's a little early, but it's on track, I think, 0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.039 is what he's trying to really say. They're on track 0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.560 because they're playing in super Bowls and they've played now 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:11.240 in three between them, so yes, it has a chance 0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:14.040 to potentially be there if their teams keep winning. And 0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:18.000 these guys number nine and number fifteen, they know nothing 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:20.520 but how to win. One of the things I admire 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:22.960 so much about your work is the ability to say 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.320 just the right thing in the big moments. And here's 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:29.080 what you said when Evan McPherson hit the field goal 0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:32.600 that sent the Bengals to the Super Bowl. This could 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:37.200 be a sentence that a month ago would have sounded incomprehensible. 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:41.840 McPherson from thirty one yards out and Cincinnati has headed 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:47.320 to the super Bowl. The word incomprehensible was perfect. Were 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.800 you and Tony just stunned by what you had witnessed? 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.200 I think that's fair to say, especially since it was 0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.440 twenty one to three right before the half, and you've 0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.560 got Kansas City at home, so you don't expect anything 0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:03.440 like that to turn around that quickly. At Arrowhead. I 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.720 had interestingly, another twenty one to three lead in an 0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:10.760 AFC championship game, And that gets back to your last question. 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:16.320 That was Brady and Manning, and that was in the 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.800 first months of two thousand and seven. But in this case, 0:08:20.040 --> 0:08:22.560 Indianapolis was the team that was down twenty one to 0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.680 three and playing at home, so they were able to 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:28.440 come back stitch it together. They kicked the field goal 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:30.840 before the half to make it twenty one to six, 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:33.040 and Peyton led them back to a thirty eight thirty 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.400 four victory. So at the time it was the biggest 0:08:36.800 --> 0:08:40.600 comeback in championship game history. Only to see the Bengals 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:42.400 all these years later come and do the same thing. 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.120 But the Cincinnati wins even more impressive because it was 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.839 on the road. It wasn't just any stadium. It was 0:08:47.880 --> 0:08:51.959 in the most raucous, highest descibel level stadium supposedly in 0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:56.439 the entire league. So it was an amazing achievement. But 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:59.400 you know, you think about their playoff run and how 0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:02.960 they beat the Raiders and how they want it Tennessee, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.520 and how they worked their way through these games and 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.400 their late season surge, including that regular season matchup at 0:09:10.440 --> 0:09:15.440 since against KC. It was. It was a storybook. I mean, 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.640 it really was. But you know they're that good that there. 0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:22.240 They stumbled out of the gates this year, but seven 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:25.040 out of nine have gone their way since and oh 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:28.840 and two start and they're good. I mean, this team 0:09:28.920 --> 0:09:33.480 has really come together earlier than it came together last year. Jim, 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.440 after the game, you interviewed Mike Brown on the stage. 0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:38.959 And Mike is not Jerry Jones. He's a private person. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.960 He doesn't do a lot of interviews. Have you interacted 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.800 with him much over the years, and what did you 0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:48.360 think of that moment. I've had some really special times 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.640 with him, and he probably doesn't remember them, but I do. 0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.960 And I've met up with him a few times standing 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.760 on the sideline when we've been able to watch practice, 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.120 and I've always been intrigued and I've always respect that 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:03.000 the man. I don't think he gets any kind of 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.360 due nationally because you said it. He's not a guy 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:08.640 that's going to try to put himself out there and 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.240 build up his name. He's not seeking any attention. I'm 0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:14.199 not saying the other guys are seeking attention. It's just 0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:19.720 he's a background guy. He's a football guy. And I've 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:23.040 always enjoyed him, I really have. And it's just there's 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:26.520 something about him that is so basic, so normal, so 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:31.040 much like the guy next door. I've just I've admired him. 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.160 You know, in some ways, I've I tried to model 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.959 my career in some of those same principles. You know, 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.080 the game is the thing, and not trying to draw 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.319 attention on what I'm doing. That's at least what I'm 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:45.040 always internalizing. And I think that's what Mike Brown is 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.360 all about. And he's been successful for a long time. 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:53.000 Every team's had lean years, every franchise has. But you know, 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.040 the Bengals have had their share of Super Bowl appearances too. 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.560 And you know there are a lot of a lot 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:03.160 of teams that we know that have never even gotten 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:09.040 to the game. And anyway, he has put together this 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.040 organizations put together a pretty darn good nucleus. Right now, 0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:16.959 I'll give you one other example. What he did, what 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:18.920 he did with was Zach, what he did with his 0:11:19.040 --> 0:11:23.160 coach to be able to to ride out those first 0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:27.079 couple of years and when five or six games the 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:30.800 first two years total. But they have faith that this 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.520 was the right guy to lead them and He's impressive 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.319 until you got an impressive coach there in Cincinnati. So 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.560 Mike saw it, mister Brown saw it, and here they 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:43.280 are and making ready to make another run. We are 0:11:43.400 --> 0:11:45.319 visiting with the great Jim Nance. This is not the 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.920 first Bengals game that you and Tony have called this year. 0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:51.600 You had Bengals Cowboys back in Week two. Cincinnati obviously 0:11:51.720 --> 0:11:53.760 fell to oh and two and they lost that game. 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.280 They're seven and two cents. What do you think of 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.920 the way the Bengals are playing right now? Well, the 0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:00.840 big difference I think it's early in the year, Dan, 0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:03.560 is that the offensive line has stabilized now and they've 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:06.880 figured it out through good coaching. They have figured out 0:12:06.920 --> 0:12:09.319 how to how to build, how to grow, and how 0:12:09.360 --> 0:12:13.760 to become a unit in sync in concert with one another. 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:16.680 There have been on some other guys that have stepped up. 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:20.680 What t Higgins did over the last month was pretty impressive. 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:26.440 What Trent Irwin tid stepping in was impressive. What Somaji's 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:29.920 done out of the backfield with with mixing out last 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.640 week and the week before that in the Pittsburgh game, 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:36.240 there are a lot of there's a lot of depth there. 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:38.959 I think that's the thing, and they just needed that 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:43.600 offensive line to gel on that side. And you know, defensively, 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:47.280 I think they're they've also found themselves stabilized. They've had 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.599 some guys that didn't play earlier in the year that 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.319 are playing, you know, a lot of snaps now and 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.400 playing some good football. Typically, the day before the game, 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:58.920 the broadcast crew has the opportunity to visit with some 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.839 of the coaches and play. Can you describe what a 0:13:02.000 --> 0:13:05.959 Joe Burrow Tony Romo meeting is like the meeting of 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:13.760 number Nine's? Uh, it's it's been good. Joe is a 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.920 mature guy, you know, for as young as he really is, 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:22.040 and he's you know, he's he's confident, but he's not 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:27.120 over confident. And Tony is one of these just individuals 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.280 that likes to build people up. And I love that. 0:13:29.720 --> 0:13:31.560 It's one of the many things that I admire about 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:34.040 my teammate. I love the guy myself, and we have 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.000 so much fun together. But when he's when he's in 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:41.040 a room with young quarterbacks, he's rooting for him and 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.760 I think he wants them to know that he's on 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:46.199 their side, and he likes to just I'd like to 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:48.160 sit back and listen to the two of them talk. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:52.599 Because Tony, as you could tell, sees everything. By the 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:56.280 way Joe's he's way beyond his years in terms of 0:13:56.400 --> 0:13:59.640 like understanding what's going on to field and seeing things 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.320 in the game slowing down and all of that. Throws 0:14:03.360 --> 0:14:07.520 a beautiful football. I know Tony admires that too, but 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:09.600 it's it's a it's a good meeting of the minds, 0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:12.800 it really is. Jimmy famously have a replica of the 0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.920 Part three seventh hole at Pebble Beach at your home 0:14:16.120 --> 0:14:19.840 in California. I understand that Patrick Mahomes has played it. 0:14:20.680 --> 0:14:25.280 Did you learn anything about Patrick Mahomes from his visit? Well, 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:29.120 Patrick came out like the week before COVID hit in 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.280 twenty twenty, and he was a wonderful guy. Brittany was 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:35.720 with him and we ended up playing two rounds of golf, 0:14:36.040 --> 0:14:38.840 real golf, not the golf in my backyard. We played 0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:42.840 Cypress Point Club and we played Pebble Beach. The first 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.920 hole at Cypress Point is not easy, and he hit 0:14:46.000 --> 0:14:49.720 it over the green on a like a severe downhill 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.040 lie with a back hole location with the green running 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:56.520 away from him. So to pitch it and keep it 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:58.160 on the green. Already gonna get it on the green. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:00.880 Once it landed the green, pretty good odds it was 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:02.360 going to run all the way down to the front 0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:06.320 off the green, back down the fairway. He pitched it in. 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:11.160 First of all, a home's magic. So thought, oh, that's interesting. 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:13.960 Now I've been playing golf that long. And when we 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:16.000 were playing back then, he didn't hit a driver. He 0:15:16.120 --> 0:15:18.000 hit three wood. He did not how to hit his driver, 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.480 but the three wood would suffice. I mean, hit that 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.200 three wood about three hundred and thirty yards. I'm not kidding. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:27.400 He could pound it. But then he did come to 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:32.200 the house and hit some balls in the backyard. He 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:34.480 trying desperately to make a hole in one. I have 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:40.280 a huge boulder there that has the names engrave for 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:42.560 those who have made a hole in one guests. I 0:15:42.600 --> 0:15:44.600 don't put my own name on there. Of course, I've 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.800 hit thousands of balls. There's out of dumb luck. I've 0:15:47.840 --> 0:15:50.040 made it a few times. I have been twenty two 0:15:50.160 --> 0:15:55.800 holes and one by guests. And Patrick, unfortunately is not 0:15:56.000 --> 0:15:59.160 on the Rock of Fame yet. He came close a 0:15:59.240 --> 0:16:01.480 couple of times. I've got the video of it. We 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:04.040 had a blast. I will say this is a terrible 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:06.200 name dropping on my part, Dan, but I've had some 0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:11.000 really super NFL quarterbacks who have given it their best 0:16:11.040 --> 0:16:14.160 shot that just because they love to come out to 0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:17.120 Pebble and I spend my summers there and you know 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.440 it's a bucket list place. But whether it would be 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:23.200 Patrick or Josh Allen, who's had many a go at, 0:16:23.240 --> 0:16:30.359 it hasn't made it justin Herbert Ben, Roethlisberger, Joe Montana. 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:34.760 I mean there are some serious there's some serious talent 0:16:34.880 --> 0:16:40.440 that's been up there. Romo made it. He's the only 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:44.440 quarterback that has made it, but there are others too 0:16:44.600 --> 0:16:46.840 from around the league that have given it their best. 0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:49.840 We haven't had Joe Burrow there. But if Joe ever 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:53.320 hears you know about this, about this little chat, I 0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:57.720 hope he those divided and I'm there in February, June, 0:16:57.720 --> 0:16:59.800 and July. All he's got to do is call me 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:02.680 and you have my number. He is just starting out 0:17:02.720 --> 0:17:04.920 as a golfer, so he might be intimidated, but I 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:09.040 will let him know that the invitation has been extended. Jim, 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:13.080 this isn't my cause. My cleats weekend and you won't 0:17:13.119 --> 0:17:15.800 be wearing cleats in the booth, but I know if 0:17:15.880 --> 0:17:18.520 you were, what your cause would be. You have been 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:23.040 really involved in the fight against Alzheimer's disease. Can you 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:24.800 describe some of the things that you and your wife 0:17:24.840 --> 0:17:28.480 have done well. We opened up a research institute in Houston. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.879 Thank you for bringing that up, Dan, It's truly my cause. 0:17:32.080 --> 0:17:34.960 Fifty two weeks a year and virtually every day of 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.320 my life, I'm involved with what's going on down at 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:42.080 Houston Methodist Hospital, which is the home of the NANCE 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.440 National Alzheimer Center. By the way, the NANCE is for 0:17:45.880 --> 0:17:48.160 not the one you're speaking to, but for my dad, 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.200 my late father. I named it after my dad. I 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:53.720 wrote the check. I had a vision of how to 0:17:53.800 --> 0:17:56.480 open it up, how I wanted this to to have 0:17:56.640 --> 0:18:01.840 a place in the world of research and building a 0:18:02.440 --> 0:18:05.879 gigantic neurological institute. This is not a foundation. This is 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:11.119 actual bricks and mortar. And I'm more proud of that, 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:13.920 outside of my family goals and wishes, than anything I've 0:18:13.960 --> 0:18:16.359 ever done in my life. Is being a part of 0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:19.080 the team. I'm not a scientist, I'm not a neurologist, 0:18:22.040 --> 0:18:24.040 not a doctor. I can talk it a little bit 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:26.560 for sure about what we're going through and what we're 0:18:26.600 --> 0:18:29.919 researching and what trial programs are going through. But I'm 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.480 a cheerleader. I try to be a visionary in terms 0:18:32.520 --> 0:18:36.440 of bringing people together and helping create funding opportunities. But 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:41.399 the Nance Center, which gives my dad a voice that 0:18:41.520 --> 0:18:46.520 he never had. It's being heard around the world and 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.600 we have nine trials that are ongoing right now. We 0:18:49.720 --> 0:18:51.920 have one that we just recently hit on. It was 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:54.960 in the Wall Street Journal that this was the first 0:18:55.000 --> 0:19:00.560 breakthrough discovery in Alzheimer's treatment ever, and we were one 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.840 of the few places on the planet that was trusted 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:08.920 with administering that trial at our research institute. So a 0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:12.440 lot of NFL involved mcdan, a lot of former players, coaches, etc. 0:19:12.880 --> 0:19:15.280 That confidentially reach out to me and want to come 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:18.680 down to the Nance Center to be diagnosed or be 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:24.680 put on a trial and have a treatment program. And yeah, 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:26.399 it's if you want to find out more about it, 0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:30.520 Nance Friends dot Org is where you can find about it. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:32.679 It is my cause, and I'll tell you why it's 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:35.440 my cause. It's it's a it's a it was a 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:40.560 disease that defeated my dad. The most robust personality, life 0:19:40.600 --> 0:19:42.480 of the party, kind of guy you could ever see, 0:19:43.080 --> 0:19:47.320 and it brought him down to a guy who couldn't 0:19:47.320 --> 0:19:49.520 even recognize his own family, stricken at the age of 0:19:49.560 --> 0:19:52.840 sixty six. So, as a son is an only son 0:19:52.920 --> 0:19:57.000 who carries his name and was bequeathed his voice. I 0:19:57.160 --> 0:20:00.480 want his voice to be heard through me, and I 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:03.080 want to be able to say that I was a 0:20:03.160 --> 0:20:07.119 part of the team that helped defeat the opponent that 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:11.639 defeated my dad. That is my mission on earth, outside 0:20:11.680 --> 0:20:14.720 of my family goals. That's my goal, that's my cause. 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.440 That is powerful stuff. Jim, this has been a real 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.080 treat for me. I can't thank you enough for doing it. 0:20:21.520 --> 0:20:24.200 Have a great game on Sunday. I look forward to it, 0:20:25.000 --> 0:20:28.720 probably the first of a few appearances at the Jungle 0:20:28.800 --> 0:20:31.159 before this season is over. It's a big one and 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.480 this game will dictate how often Tony and I come 0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:37.760 back come January. But Dan, great admire view you and 0:20:38.200 --> 0:20:40.320 who you are in your work, and let's do this 0:20:40.400 --> 0:20:43.119 again the next time we have a Bengals game. That 0:20:43.359 --> 0:20:46.359 interview was done via zoom. There are about three people 0:20:46.440 --> 0:20:49.560 watching on the Bengals end and when Jim Nance appeared 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:53.200 on the screen. He said, hello friends. It was like 0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.040 the final round of the Masters was about to begin. 0:20:56.680 --> 0:20:59.360 The Bengals Booth podcast is brought to you by Bengals 0:20:59.440 --> 0:21:02.520 Picks Ultimate Bengals. They're free to play with tickets and 0:21:02.600 --> 0:21:07.240 side merchandise up for grabs. Find both inside the Bengals app. 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:10.479 In the first meeting between the Bengals and Chiefs last year, 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:14.679 Jamar Chase had the greatest receiving performance in team history, 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.600 with eleven catches for two hundred sixty six yards and 0:21:18.800 --> 0:21:21.880 three touchdowns. That was the most yards in a game 0:21:22.000 --> 0:21:25.159 by a Bengals receiver and the most ever buy an 0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.760 NFL rookie. Jamara's missed the last four games with a 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:32.360 hairline hip fracture, but all signs point to him being 0:21:32.480 --> 0:21:35.760 back on Sunday. I felt really good last week. I 0:21:35.840 --> 0:21:37.479 just want to give him myself, you know, the right 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:39.480 amount of time. I don't want another rush anything. So 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:41.920 I felt good last week, running straight and you know, 0:21:42.080 --> 0:21:44.280 making cuts. Yes, last week, you know, I even tried 0:21:44.320 --> 0:21:46.240 to make cuts on my leg hard as I could. 0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:48.399 You know, I didn't really feel nothing. So it's just 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:50.600 want to be comfortable, you know, you don't want to 0:21:50.640 --> 0:21:52.639 send somebody on the field that's not comfortable playing yet. 0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:55.280 And you know what I'm saying, a hundred percent player, 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:56.840 you don't want to send them. You know somebody out 0:21:56.880 --> 0:21:59.240 there that's not ready to play, that's all. You're not 0:21:59.280 --> 0:22:01.880 worried about tickets, not worried about that. I'm just worried 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:04.920 about being ready to play in ready to provide for 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.080 what they need me to do. Chase was listed as 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:10.920 a limited participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday, as 0:22:11.119 --> 0:22:14.399 was Joe Mixon, who was likely to return after missing 0:22:14.480 --> 0:22:18.200 one game due to a concussion.

It showed 0:22:39.240 --> 0:22:42.879 Ted Carriss viewing fbombs as he walked off the field 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.080 after the victory. Ted was upset about the Titans behavior 0:22:47.200 --> 0:22:49.720 on the final few snaps of the game when the 0:22:49.800 --> 0:22:52.800 Bengals were in the victory formation. He even took a 0:22:52.920 --> 0:22:54.960 punch to the face on the final play of the 0:22:55.040 --> 0:22:58.399 game from Jeffrey Simmons. I spoke to Carris about it 0:22:58.680 --> 0:23:02.159
