(01:25):
of It's a big one, Big old healthy cock. We
got a per fight and gobbler perfect same way Virginia.
So there's a We got another one now I don't
it's not to this degree. And another one at least
that we know of. But Ohio has fired their head
(01:48):
football coach before we get to coach speak, I thought
this was appropriate. Ohio has fired their head football coach,
Brian Smith. He was just given in an extension I
believe in October he took over the gig. They were
eight and four. This year, they've got a bowl game
coming up, and he's just been kind of, you know, gone,
not been there, and it's been very strange and so
(02:12):
uh by Ohio. There reasoning for letting him go. He
was fired because of quote, engaging in serious professional misconduct
and participating in activities that reflect unfavorably on the university.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Now, some of the.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
Rumors that are out there is that well that he
had that he had alcohol in his office so that
so him and his coaches would toast after wins.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
Uh that inappropriate. That there's also the there's some rumblings
out there. Again, have you ever.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Seen a team win the Super Bowl or a world Okay,
but go ahead.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
There's also been now again, I just want to be
clear on this. Brian Smith was actually a teammate of
mine Thousand Oaks High was really yeah, we played we
played high school football.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Again, I don't It's not like I talked too many
moddies with him.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
He was, he were he didn't remember, but I uh
but uh he uh. He then found himself in Hawaii.
He uh, you know, did a really good job. You know,
people thought highly of him. He got the gig at
Ohio and again they're eight and four. He took over
that that's a good season. But one of the rumors
out there is that maybe, you know, he's getting a
(03:28):
divorce and that maybe he had an inappropriate relationship with
a nursing student at the school.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Again, I don't know whether or not that's that's factual.
That's just one of the inappropriate I you know.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
They're they're denying and they're pushing back on this, saying
not have his.
Speaker 2 (03:48):
Relations for that woman.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You know, his his legal team uh is saying that,
you know, listen, they're gonna push back against this, fight
back against this.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
But it just like it feels like this is like
we live in a copycat society.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
It just you know, there's a lot going on, man Like,
so whenever I see schools come out and let somebody go,
and I know every situation is different.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I'm not comparing this to the Charon More stuff, but
it just.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Feels like there's a lot of there's always a lot
of stuff out there that that makes the news, the
rumors that are out there, all of it, and and
I don't know what's true, but it's almost like this
guy's immediately guilty and must have done something wrong, and
they get out in front of the story first and
then he's got to like counter punch afterwards. Like it
(04:38):
just it feels like there's there's a lot going on
there with that. So that's that's one of the stories
that was making the rounds yesterday, and we will wait
to see what is actually true, what is actually factual,
whether or not his divorce had anything to do with this,
and why was that even a part of the story,
But they made sure to include that as part of
the story. It just all of it is, uh, is
very bizarre. It's a strange time in the world of
(05:00):
college football. Interesting if you're if you're a coach, you're
probably a lot of temptations out there are probably a
lot of stuff going on. It just feels like now
more and more that stuff's becoming public.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
It's just the trend is like putting your business out there.
That just seems to be the trend. It didn't used
to be like that. People kept their business their business,
But this whole new social media generation of people, they
(05:32):
just they do things differently.
Speaker 2 (05:34):
Man, people want attention to. People put themselves in these
situations to be able to do that. Yeah, yeah, it's
a come up.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I mean you're putting yourself in positions to have come ups.
And I don't know. That's why for me, I don't
live I don't live like that. I don't live scared
like I live my life. I do what I do, Like,
there ain't nothing you can do that I haven't already
said I've done anyway, So at the end of the day,
it's like, oh you were and and like like I
(06:08):
just feel like, like to weaponize things like this is
kind of crazy because for real for real. It's like
holten penalties. It's like you can call one on every play.
You go anywhere, go to any program, you can find
activity that you could guard or you could deem inappropriate behavior.
Have you not heard the way some of these coaches talk.
(06:31):
Let's not just limit it to to women, Let's just
talk about conduct in general. Have you ever been in
a meeting room at a football facility? Have you ever
heard the way these guys communicate? Have you heard some
of the things that seen some of the things that
go on.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
That's why this whole well he had alcohol in his
office and him and his coaches drink after games.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
And who cares?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Why?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
Why is that? Why is that a problem? Is Ohio?
Like am I am? I?
Speaker 3 (07:00):
You know?
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Like misunderstanding? Like is there is there no alcohol in Ohio?
Is that what it is? Is this like Salt Lake?
Or I mean, is there no no booze past?
Speaker 5 (07:08):
You know?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Eight pm? Are they?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I know there's an Amish community there. I didn't know
they went to Ohio. I didn't know they were bobcats.
I had no idea. Apparently I had no idea. But
it's like that's that's the story that's out there and
then you've got the other rumors and stuff that are attached.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
With It's like, dude, if you want to just get
rid of the guy, get rid of the guy.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
I know you don't want to pay him whatever the
two point five million that you would have had to
pay him, but it's like this stuff comes out. Well,
he had him and his coaches toasted with with alcohol
after games, and when they won games, they were throwing ones.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
There was reported they were throwing ones that women while
drinking alcohol, like and like people are just naive to whatever,
Like what word I just I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Know, man, But it just feels like open season.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Man, Like if you were to pull back the curtain
on professional sports, on college sports, and you could see
the behaviors, the cultures of what takes place with the players,
the coaches, all of it. Bro, it's like that few
(08:16):
good men line like you you can handle the truth,
like you guys get things in bits and pieces, and
the stuff be so like like really like that's so simple,
and and and people will judge. They'd be like, what
do you mean it's simple? You're supposed to have high
character and be a great person and dae da die this.
Speaker 2 (08:36):
That and the other. Then you like, you have no idea.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
Then when somebody decides to start talking about it, saying
it's like, oh, you're such a snitch, you're a rat,
dah da die, you don't it's not true, you're disgruntle.
It's always a reason to discredit somebody who's lived it,
who starts talking about it, you can't handle it, and
so you sit there and you condemn the person. But
(09:02):
let me tell you something. What's normal for guys in
football and sports culture. What's what's normal is extremely, extremely
outside of your realm of understanding as a regular civilian.
And I might be offensive to some people, but what
does it matter? So what so what like the bottom
(09:25):
line is is that when you're in those those circles
and you're in that that lifestyle, we could we could
make it as simple as talking about women, like, oh,
it's women.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Women.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Most of these coaches, I told you all this before.
Most of these coaches be marrying very very unattractive people.
They don't be good looking people at all. Yeah, they don't,
and and you you you marry them and you build
families with them. You'd be out here flexing and then
you're this wholesome group, this, that, and the other. Meanwhile,
(09:56):
you got a badass stripper over on here over here,
and she's bad, like she ain't average, but she's a stripper,
Like that's what you're doing. Or oh, I'll help you out,
I'll get you a job. And Jill, you don't have
to stop. You don't have to keep front you like
you don't have to keep fronting, right, like like, don't strip,
(10:16):
come over here and get this Dutch job so I
can I can make sure you're good.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
You want to be my running backs coach?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Hey, you want to be a salesperson, Like yeah, you
want to be a salesperson like over here, like if
you pull back like.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Owners do it? Owners? How about you now? Gms do it?
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Like?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
Come on, man, like it's just interesting now? And am
I saying all of this say that it's right? It's correct.
I'm not saying it to say you shouldn't live right,
you chose to marry that unattractive person, like roll with it,
roll with it. Don't be working, like, don't be doing
this job so you can get away from her ugly
as like you you chose this life.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Don't order a large pizza to say can I get
the sound instead, you chose, you.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Chose this life, right. So I'm not justifying anything. All
I'm saying is is that I think it's interesting that
people pick and choose when they want to come out
and start saying like stuff like this and then go
at people as like private lives and and kind of
go at it and say things that they could say.
You know, I don't know, but I don't know what
(11:24):
the right or wrong of it is. Wrong is wrong,
and wrong is always going to be wrong. But I
just think it's interesting how people react when they hear
these stories, Like watching the way people reacted to the
Sharon More story and stuff like that. It's just crazy
to me, man, it's crazy to me. You see, I'm
telling you. You see that'd be even plain sight. You
(11:45):
see how people like what their relationships are, and and
it stems far beyond the football field, stems far beyond.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Just coaches, like.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
People that are high up in the in the universities,
like I said, ownership, like GM's head of sales. I
tell you, bruh, there was a dude that was ahead
like he was a salesperson or something. He was like
a high up out in Washington, and bro the stories
I could tell you about how he was handling things
(12:19):
with the cheerleaders and their cheerleaders are still fighting to
get attention, drawing on it the way they were being
handled and used in situations to close deals and stuff
like that. Crazy crazy and it was understood crazy.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
So I don't know when I hear stories.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
The more and more I start to hear stories like that,
it's like, it's like, who's out here clout chasing?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
Man?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
Like, who's clout chasing? Because how did you get to
the point of where you're doing what you're doing?
Speaker 2 (12:53):
What made it? What made it?
Speaker 6 (12:54):
So?
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Do you not want this person? Or did that or
did somebody put this information out there out chasing? Like
I'd be curious to know what the origin of where
all of these reports all of a sudden are coming
from on people getting put out there like that, and
it's like changing their lives, Like your wife might not
be good looking, but she doesn't deserve this treatment.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
That's a great point, just say it.
Speaker 1 (13:25):

Speaker 2 (13:43):
Here on two pros and a cup of Joe.
Speaker 1 (13:45):
This is where Patrick sweeka our executive producer.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
The Verona Cowboys.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
He's got sound bites from coaches around the world of football.
We're going to listen to it and then we're going
to try and tell you what they're actually saying and
make sense of the words that come out of their mouth.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
Patrick, who do we got first? All right?
Speaker 6 (14:04):
So up, first, guys, we have head coach Jim Harbaugh
for the Chargers here and he was talking about, you know,
the last win that they had and it made him
feel a certain way.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
Give a listen here.
Speaker 5 (14:17):
Everybody's fighting for their playoffs lives right now. Everybody's laying
it on the line. Everybody's competing. You see that, But
you know, then to do it beat the other team,
but you don't beat the crowd. You know, beat the
had some elements. Had to beat the elements too. I
mean it makes you feel like a man, uh, really
proud of our team and.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
With that makes you feel like a man. Well, the
first one.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
To go up here is Enie Meanie, mighty var you
get to go first?
Speaker 2 (14:46):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I think what he was trying to say in so
many words is every man wants to win the championship
of handling themselves the right way, and in this moment,
I just felt like letting the people know that, you know,
beating things and beating them the right way for the
(15:07):
right results is what I'm going for. And you know what,
I want to win the contest of beating in the
proper the proper category. And I'm not going to say
that to you guys, obviously because of maybe being accused
of being inappropriate, but make no mistake about it, I
(15:28):
do want to make the playoffs of being the best
beater that's out here. I want to win the super
Bowl of beating. So therefore I have to beat the elements.
I have to beat a lot of things, and beating
is the life I live. You got to beat it,
you gotta beat.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
It, got to beat it. Just beat it, well, Jonas,
beat that what you got, Yeah, listen.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
I think what Jim Harbaugh was trying to do there
is he's trying to speak loudly.
Speaker 2 (15:55):
He's trying to make a lot of noise.
Speaker 1 (15:57):
He's trying to get a lot of distractions because he
doesn't want to be asked about his former assistant who
may or may not have pulled out a machete and
may or may not have had some sort of inappropriate
relationship with somebody. And he probably is thinking to himself,
I mean, christ Cheron, I thought you better than that.
What's with the the plan? B through a door dash driver?
That's what I think Jim Harbo is trying to say.
Speaker 6 (16:19):
And the first one on the board in scathing degree,
here is one and only mister Jonas not Yes, that
was on the board.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Oh come on, he was. It's because he's afraid of
you are That's what it is. It's fine.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
No, he doesn't want them to think that he's afraid.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
That's why you want to I mean, I mean, just
find it. No, hello, just beat it psychology, that is
exactly what it is. What it is, Just beat it.
You had a better run than me on that one.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
I don't think I did. The next one up, bro,
come on, next one. Maybe Ryana needs to be the judge. Yeah,
all right, here we go.
Speaker 2 (17:02):
All right.
Speaker 6 (17:03):
Next one up, we have forty nine Ers head coach
Kyle Shanahan and he was asked regarding a certain player
of his Brandon I yougan.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Give a listen to what he had to say.
Speaker 7 (17:12):
We haven't seen him forever, so I mean, that's just
that's the decision they make. It's been pretty simple for me.
I haven't seen him in a month, so you know,
that's the same with our team. So it's hasn't been
an issue with our team at all. I'm kind of
been plugging away and no big deal or its just
something we've been used to for a while. But I
really have been hoping you would come back all year.
(17:33):
But one point was I really planning on it. So
that would have been a great bonus. That would have
been awesome, and I would love to have that type
of player. But I know something I realized early on
wasn't going to come for a while, and there was
nothing that made me sit there and think it was
happening soon.
Speaker 6 (17:49):
So all and with that, going up first, with the
first point, Jonas you get your first.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Listen, I don't know what's going on, Brandon, I you
I haven't seen him, He's not around here. I didn't
agree with the fact that we gave him an extension.
Why don't you talk to John Lynch. This is the
second time he's put me behind the eight ball, so
to speak, when it comes to contractual moves that he's made.
All right, giving up three first round picks for Trey Lance.
I bailed him out, Brandon. I you getting that monster
(18:17):
contract when everybody knew. Listen, man, this is probably not
a good idea. The guy didn't even want to change
and get into the right shorts at practice one time.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
This is problematic.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
I'm tired of im going to answer for John Lynch's
misgivings when it comes to handing out contracts and making
moves here with the organization. I'm bailing everybody out. Talk
to the GM. Leave me out of this. Next question.
Speaker 2 (18:40):
Okay, maybe not next question, but next man up. We
got var.
Speaker 3 (18:47):
I still gotta win games. We're having a pretty damn
good season. Have you looked at our record yet? Have
you seen the coaching job that I've done? Why are
you asking me about cats and the group that ain't
ain't holding their key, holding their note. Sure, there's been
an empty microphone over there. The whole entire time we've.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Been singing chan you and the ring.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
We don't hear his voice, but we got great harmony
going on here. We're gonna keep going on with our concerts.
We're gonna keep selling out shows. We're gonna do what
we need to do. If you want to go out
here and be Bobby Brown and do his own little
little solo act, then go do your solo act. We
don't care. We haven't seen you. We've still got the tour,
we're still getting money, and we're still getting dubs and
(19:35):
people still cheering when we sing.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
We'll check you later.
Speaker 6 (19:38):
You get okay, you know what for the for that
little one liner and the little sing song in there,
you get a point.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
Well, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
It was pretty solid, but it just didn't feel very
very energetic from It was almost like, well I can't
give it. I dad just keep giving it to Jonas
every time.
Speaker 2 (19:55):
Sof alright, this is not what it felt like. That's
how I felt trying. It felt like, yeah, all right,
go ahead. So this so this next one determines the winner. Yeah,
you know what, we're gonna this one's gonna determine that. Here.
I'm ready for this, all right, let's go.
Speaker 6 (20:11):
So head coach Dan Campbell of the Detroit Lions was
asked about well him playing and losing to the Rams
last week, and here's what he had to say about
the NFC top.
Speaker 8 (20:23):
Now we know, you know, now you have first hand
knowledge of what what probably the top of the NFC
looks like. Right now, that's that's them, you know. And
so now you know, you know what it looks like,
you know what it is. And we're not there right now.
Doesn't mean we can't be, but now we know what
it looks like. And uh, you gotta get better. We
got to get better. We got to move on. Can't
(20:44):
talk about it, can't feel sorry for ourselves. We make
the corrections and we move on.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
All right, well, let's make our corrections and move on
to var You good to go, first first blow, let's go.
Speaker 3 (20:55):
Well, we're on our backs. We got knocked on our back.
I thought we was gonna have to make contact with
the knees. But we saw what the top looked like.
And it was a rude awakening, rude, very rude awakening.
In fact, it was scary. And all I could do
(21:16):
was look up at the top and look at the
rest of my team and say, team.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
We got to do better.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
I don't know how we do better, but we got
to figure out different ways to do better.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Because if this.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Is the top, if this is what they're bringing to
the table, then we got to think of some alternatives
on how we're going to get the winds right, and
we got to get up off our backs. We gotta
be better. We gotta be harder, longer lasting. We're not
(21:52):
blue for just the color, We're blue for the chew.
We're gonna have to add some blue chew to our
daily regimen if we're going to be able to get
to the top of the NFC.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
From the bottom of the deck. Incorporating a sponsor. That's
a dirty tactic.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
Dirty tactic. Indeed, Oh bosh, who knows if that if
that gets a win or not. We'll see Jonas retort.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I mean, listen, does everybody remember that NFC title game
a couple of years ago when I had this team,
this franchise, this organization a game away from going to
a super Bowl in San Francisco, and a lot of
people thought we should have won that game. But I
was too reckless on fourth down. I was too going
for it. Too many times, not settling for field goals.
Does everybody remember that? Do you remember that NFC Championship game?
(22:40):
I hope you do, because I'm going to ask the
organization in about a month or so, when we're eliminated
from the playoffs, if we can hang up a banner
inside Ford Field that says we went to the NFC
title game two years ago, because that's the best it's
going to get. That's the closest we're going to get.
We had our opportunity. We took a step back last year.
We took another step back this year. We are regressing
(23:03):
our divisions getting better. We got problems, but at least
I got us to an NFC title game, and I'm
gonna work to try and get a banner put up
in Ford Field because of it.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Well, ladies and gentlemen, we do have a winner.
Speaker 6 (23:20):
With a vote of food A one can get drum roll, Yes,
you can give me dreamt it?
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Jeez? Are you ready? Are we ready? I'm ready?
Speaker 6 (23:33):
And with the whole two to one your winners, LeVar Arrington, everybody,
of course, six picks.
Speaker 2 (23:42):

But here's the very latest from Joe Burrow, the Bengals
(27:44):
quarterback who made some news last week when he sounded
a little bit down in the dumps following the Bengals
elimination from playoff contention. And so Joe Burrow spoke with
the media. It was a Wednesday, it was his turn
to talk, and it's added a little bit like this.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I like to play.
Speaker 7 (28:01):
Football for the same reasons that I wanted to push
to comeback from injury.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
For some reasons, I want to play.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
This week.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
It feels like everything everybody's trying to do everything in
their power to make me.
Speaker 7 (28:13):
Not play football, and I feel like I'm fighting it,
like fighting everybody else. I just want to I just
want to play ball.
Speaker 2 (28:19):
That's all I want to do. Is there any world
in your mind where you're not the quarterback with the
Bengals next year? If I can't see that?
Speaker 9 (28:25):
No, you ever thought about the possibility of not being
the quarterback here.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
During your career, or you think.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
About a lot of things. So is that a good question?
I mean, is that a good question?
Speaker 3 (28:37):
You know what?
Speaker 2 (28:38):
I think it is.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
I don't think. I don't think Burrow's real good at
this because he's I think he's being honest, but I
think he doesn't realize that when you leave stuff sort
of up for interpretation.
Speaker 2 (28:54):
They can take and do with it what they want.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
To do with it, run wild because even mentioned yesyesterday
that his comments last week that he was getting text
messages from people asking if everything was okay, and he's like.
Speaker 2 (29:06):
Does it don't sound okay? Yeah, because like I didn't
even I didn't understand it.
Speaker 1 (29:10):
I don't know, Like he was almost like kind of like, yeah,
I don't, I don't get what the what did you
guys think I was trying to imply?
Speaker 2 (29:17):
Like, what did you think I was trying to get?
Speaker 3 (29:19):
You don't sound very upbeat, you don't sound very positive,
and you sound down.
Speaker 1 (29:25):
He's just not good at this man like sound down
cadences is awkward. It's just I look at Joe Burrow
and I go kind of a quirky guy, great football player,
kind of a quirky guy. I just I don't think
people truly get him, and I don't think he does
a great job at presenting himself to where he's he's
(29:47):
easy to understand.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
I will say this, It's like, if you take the
name Joe Burrow out of it and you're listening to it,
it sounds like a victim mentality. And and people that I've
experienced in life that have victim mentalities, they like there's
always an excuse, there's always a reason. Now, I'm not
saying that that's who Joe Burrow is. I'm just saying,
(30:10):
like the world like everybody wants like they want me
to not play ball, and I'm fighting against all Like, bro, No,
you fight against you.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
You know who you gotta You know who you have
to answer to every single day, the.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Person staring right back at you when you start your day, man,
and that's the person.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
That knows you best, not all these other people.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Not everybody all the listen, man, Like, don't don't fall
into the category of being a victim, bro, You're not
a victim, You're a football player.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
You imagine him playing in New York with the media.
Speaker 3 (30:48):
Well cause they're going to instigate that. And that last
question that was some instigator. That wasn't definite instigator. He
was definitely feeding off of Joe Burrow's energy and felt
as though he might be able to get a response
that's very very interesting for him and polarizing for him
to use and for everybody to use based off of
(31:09):
how he was handling the questions prior to that one
coming out, like do you ever see yourself not being
the quarterback next year? Like next year? Come on, dude,
next year. That's a dumb question. Yeah, now you want
to change and say, well, at any point in your career,
like we all end up somewhere else. More often than not,
there's there's a small number of guys that's starting finish
(31:31):
with the same team, but more often than not, you're
gonna end up with a different team. You're asking a
question to get a reaction, and that's all that was.
And you know what if Joe Burrow doesn't and listen,
Q took aim at him the last time, like he
did this like weird, little like soft talking, like somebody
bring me my blanket and tuck me in and give
(31:53):
me some warm milk discussions.
Speaker 2 (31:56):
He's got to tighten up, brou tighten up up.
Speaker 3 (32:01):
And be a leader for yourself, be a believer for yourself,
and do that for your team. Because the way you're
handling things right now, you you're walking you it's like
your walk, your talk is like wounded. It's it's banged up,
it's battered, and you're you're making it sound that way.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
You know, you know what it's.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's kind of reminds me of like when because I've
talked about this before because it always pissed me off
and it's part of the reason why I got off Facebook.
But when people back in the day on Facebook used
to have a random post that would just be like
just when you think, you know, somebody dot dot dot,
what's wrong everybody?
Speaker 2 (32:44):
What's talk? Is everything okay? In the comments though, like
oh yeah, thinking of you.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
You're not you're not going into their inbox, you're not
texting on the comment.
Speaker 2 (32:54):
My god, Like so that's what he's looking for a party.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
It almost say, kind of reminds where he's he like,
is leaving things so open and maybe it's not even intentional.
Maybe he's not even trying to do that, which I kind.
Speaker 2 (33:08):
Of lean into too many interviews that now.
Speaker 1 (33:10):
It's just because last week he has the comments and
he's talking and you heard every theory in the book
from Brady saying, you know, why are you not? You
should be happy with with what you've got, the opportunity
you had.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
You're not having fun. You should be having fun.
Speaker 1 (33:26):
That one makes sense, like generally speaking, that should be
the case. You've had other people say, well, is this
another Andrew Luck situation? Based on what he said? That
could be the case? Well, seem fun? Does he want
out of Cincinnati based on what he said? That could
The problem is he leaves it so open ended to
interpretation and so open up to interpretation that everybody's throwing
(33:50):
out every theory in the book. And then afterwards show
Burrow looks around and goes, no, I want to I
want to play.
Speaker 2 (33:54):
Why are people trying to get me to not play?
I don't want? Well, you got like, could you at
least like fill in the gaps? So to speak? What
do Like? What did I do?
Speaker 1 (34:06):
Like it's like relationship status, it's complicated.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
You're either slotting around or you're not. Like just to
call what it is? Like, get to the point. What's
happening here? Do you want to be in Cincinnati? Do
you want to play?
Speaker 6 (34:20):
Do it?
Speaker 1 (34:20):
And he just kind of like, you know, hey, do
you ever think about you know, I think about all
sorts of things.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
What think? Hey?
Speaker 3 (34:26):
Definitely that was definitely not the proper response. That was
definitely not the proper response. What is this like? Like,
you know, a definitive response is like, bro, what the
are you talking about?
Speaker 5 (34:40):
Right?
Speaker 3 (34:41):
That's a proper response. Let them use it, Let them
use the F bomb? What the f are you talking about? Bro?
Speaker 2 (34:49):
Like, why are you asking me? Right now?
Speaker 3 (34:52):
That's coming in as a warrior, Like even if you're
not a screamer, like I'm passionate, Like people be thinking
I'm screaming. I'm not screaming. I'm just patching it out talk.
But in that moment, I'd be like, like, what are
you trying to do? Like what you want to know?
Like when you're asking me that question, what would you
like to know? Just just shoot it straight, like do
(35:14):
you are you asking do I want to do? I
do I not want to be here? Like what are
you trying to ask me? So I can answer you
or not? Of course I want to play with everyone.
See it seems like everyone's trying to get me to
not play fool well man like. Based on the comments
last week, it sounded like you.
Speaker 2 (35:29):
Didn't, Hey, bro, leave everybody out of it.
Speaker 3 (35:32):
That's what I'm saying, leave everybody out of it, Like,
leave everybody out of it. I'm talking to y'all asses
right now. You're the media. If these are the questions
you're asking me, here's my response.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
I'm here to win. I want to.
Speaker 3 (35:55):
Win, and I want to win as a Cincinnati Bengal
and that's what it is.
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Next.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
If y'all don't have anything different than that, I can
only answer it the way that the answer is. I
can only give you my truth. I can't manufacture something
to fit what you want.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Period. Now.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
The only problem with any of this is is, again
you've stated it very well. He's already created a narrative
by the way he's handled things. You're never going to
dispel what it is that you're going to dispel when
somebody already has their article written, you're not going to
do it.
Speaker 6 (36:35):
Now.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
What makes what evens the playing field a whole lot
more now is that social media and podcasting has given
guys new new ways of being able to break their
own news, give their own thoughts. So if you've written
something that is beyond reproach about a person, they can
rebuttal it and people will see it.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
That wasn't always like that. It's very different now.
Speaker 3 (37:00):
But outside of that, man, you just got to be
aware of the fact that these people already have their
articles written, they already have their stories ready to go,
They already have it where they're going to report it
the way that they're going to report it. You're not
going to change that. But what you can do is
make sure you handle yourself and control yourself in a
(37:21):
way that is acceptable for you and yourself. Don't be
nobody's victim. Don't you telling everybody, Hey, you're all out
against me, you're all against me. All you're basically saying
is it's all impacting me. I'm feeling it's it's it's
it hurts, like. Don't give people the value of that.
(37:45):
Don't give them that type of power.
Speaker 2 (37:47):
Over you.
Speaker 3 (37:48):
They don't have that type of power over you. It's
just weird, it seems. And for what is worth now
that I'm hearing myself talk about it, I know we
got to go to break but you know what, like, hey, bro,
get help, get help. And I'm not saying that to
be a hole. I'm sad for real, for real life.
If somebody plays us back for you, get help because
(38:08):
somebody can talk you through this where you can get
a hold of that, Like, don't spiral over over what
people and what day and all of them in the
world what they're saying. Have somebody help you dial in
into yourself and understand the beliefs of who you are.
That's how you get through times like these.
Speaker 2 (38:26):
And I'll ask them this.
Speaker 1 (38:27):
