Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here every show at ESPN fifteen thirty dot com.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Top talkbacks, talkbacks, HUDs, get to it.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
Drew, Hey, guys, it's the common talkback batters guy. And
I'm just so happy that Chad you're in and Drew
you're in.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
I mean, obviously.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
We like the other two as well, but it's so
refreshing just to get a different side of the story.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
So what that be?
Speaker 3 (01:00):
And said, the red suck, The management sucks. They knew
all along that they sucked, and they didn't do nothing
again this year to address the bopper.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
No argument there. We talked about it the entire offseason. Yep,
they knew. That's the thing that Look if we knew,
they knew, and they decided not to do it. They
decided not to address it, and they decided that it
would be okay if they didn't, and it's not, and
(01:31):
it hasn't been all year. Hey Joe from case here.
Speaker 5 (01:35):
I know you get a lot of stuff, Chad, but
I do love when you host.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
Secondly, of all the job's troll job is probably my
second favorite. And then as far as you see goes,
i'd like to get your opinion on mister Corleoni on
the d line. I know he's had injuries and stuff,
but I just feel like he's not as disruptive as
he could slash should be. I don't know what's your
(02:01):
thoughts of him.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
I think if you actually really watch, he is insanely disruptive.
I think the problem is they haven't had adequate talent
around him to make teams pay for what they do
to try. I mean, you are not guarded. You are
not blocking Dante Corleone with one guy ever, Dana Holgerson,
(02:23):
who's the court the offensive coordinator at Nebraska now. He
joked around earlier this week drew that in one of
the games against Houston, when Dana was at Houston, that
Dante Corleone retired three of his offensive linemen in the
first series and that somebody, what do you mean by that?
(02:43):
He was like he killed them, Like he just ate
them alive because they tried to go one on one
with him. And that is supposed to open up everybody else,
but Cincinnati hasn't had anybody else that is fully taken
advantage of having Dante corleon in the middle.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
Yeah, I think he's gonna have to play a big
role tonight. If you see wants to come out on top.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
The guys around him, Jalen Hunt, Micah Coleman, c J. McCrae,
the Virginia Tech transfer, Mark west Parker, the sophomore from Memphis.
Those guys have to take advantage of the attention that
Dante draws because guess what I just told you. The
offensive coordinator from Houston is very familiar with Dante Corleone,
(03:34):
and Dante Corleon used to eat those Houston offensive lines alive.
But can't anybody else do anything with it? You're gonna
get singled. Go winep go win the snap.
Speaker 7 (03:48):
Hello, this is former President Ronald Reagan and Ronnick Will.
Does anyone here think that Burrow, Chase Higgins and Hendrickson
will all have the same stellar seasons this year that
they did last And even if they do, it wasn't
good enough last year to get into the playoffs. What
(04:09):
have the Bengals done to make up that difference for
this year?
Speaker 4 (04:14):
Where is the hope that That's the big question? Up
with hope? Damn with dope? Uh, that's the big question.
Forty one percent, Drew? Do you see that number today?
I did not forty one What do you think that
number is? Forty one percent to make the playoffs. I'm guy, No,
that is the percentage of the cap being consumed by Joe, Burrow,
(04:36):
T Higgins, Jamar Chase, and Drey Hendrickson forty one percent.
Four guys get forty one percent. Forty nine guys get
fifty nine percent. That's wild. And I don't know how
Joe could be better. Like, maybe he maybe he does,
maybe he is. Like I'm not going to rule it out,
but he was amazing yep last year and it wasn't enough.
(05:00):
It's a good question, mister president.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
Hey, guys, Jeff and New Richmond, Jeff Thursday two yet,
not even gonna talk about the Reds, but just say
that the season is over as far as you see tonight, Chad,
I am very nervous. I don't think County Duty is
a good coach. Never thought he was. They're gonna get
exposed tonight. May mean I go to Nebraska thirty five
(05:28):
to twenty and let the lynching begin to remove him
and cutting hand.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Okay, how do you really feel, Jeff, that's gonna be
a tough show to do tomorrow.
Speaker 6 (05:43):
I Cats lose thirty five to twenty, It's gonna be
a tough, and while nevermind.
Speaker 9 (05:47):
I'll tell you what, If you don't like what the
Reds are doing right now, then you just don't like
Reds Baseball. What they have done this year is exactly
what they want to do every year going forward. They're
not always gonna have the bad they're not always gonna
have the arms. But what they always want to do
is hover around five hundred, eliminate peaks and valleys, stay
relevant through the summer, sell half a stadium's worth of
(06:10):
tickets on Friday nights, maybe make the playoffs once or
twice a decade.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
If they're lucky, good luck where you're gonna go. He's right, Yep,
he's exactly right. I mean, how many concerts have we
seen scheduled for August? A lot? They know, Like they're
not stupid, they know.
Speaker 10 (06:31):
I just want to remind Mike from LA that he's
calling into Sency three sixty, not LA three sixty.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I think he knows that. I think he's also listening
every day from Los Angeles. Kudos to that man.
Speaker 11 (06:50):
The Padres move Tatist Junior to the outfield. The Pirates
moved O'Neil Cruz to the outfield. The Reds need to
move Ellie to the outfield. He's been there for three
seasons at shortstop. Defensively, he's not gotten much better at all.
If this team is really serious about winning, they have
(07:10):
to bring in somebody from inside or outside the organization
to play shortstop at a higher defensive level next season.
Speaker 6 (07:17):
Well, and it's, like Jeff Carr pointed out, he used,
obviously the two obvious the examples there if Tatis and
O'Neal Cruz, one'neal Cruz is not the example.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:27):
One one is playing platinum glove defense in the outfield.
One as Jeff Carr said, you wonder if he's going
to catch the ball, he's playing aluminum glove defense in
the outfield. That's not the That's not the standard bearer
that I think you want.
Speaker 12 (07:43):
Drew. Always good to have your host in the show.
Thank you, La Mike, you can call in whenever you want.
I want to hear you break down to Padres Farm
System sometime.
Speaker 13 (07:54):
Now.
Speaker 4 (07:55):
Talk about that Lakota. You see math tells me.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
Nebraska's closest to Kansas City than Cincinnati. But we're the
home team. Yeah, but I guess that's just for financial reason.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Correct the game was originally, so there was a game
scheduled for Nebraska in twenty twenty and COVID nicks that
because they didn't play non conference games that year. That
changed the process. So the game was at Nippert was
supposed to happen this year. It got moved to a
(08:31):
neutral field, initially Lucas Oil Stadium, and then this group
from Kansas City came in and offered a significant portion
of money to move the game to Arrowhead because of
revenue share and needing to have that extra twenty million
dollars to play the players this year, Cincinnati kind of
(08:52):
was in a position where they had to say yes.
But what what did I do to loowd talkback guy?
I thought I was good with loud talkback guy. Apparently not.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
You might need to have a little sit down together
and figure figure some stuff out.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
I'm upset. Maybe a lot of talkback guy will be
at Holy Grail tonight. A loud talkback guy sent Kelly
Flowers at the hospital when she was sick, like I,
maybe he was.
Speaker 6 (09:20):
He thinks you already you already know that he knows
he likes it when you host, and he was just
giving me some props.
Speaker 4 (09:25):
I don't mind have given you props, but I like,
I feel like chopliver. Now, all right, you'll get through it.
I'm gonna be okay.
Speaker 14 (09:34):
This is just a recap for anybody you missed the
first half hour of the show with the Ali sports
a bat Mike, the Dodgers are getting hot, so they're
a team you should watch out for. Yes, the team
was the best odds by double to win the World Series.
Who have the best player in baseball that's won three
of the past four and vps and are the reigning
World champions and also had the highest payroll in baseball
(09:55):
by ten million dollars. So if the Dodgers weren't on
your radar, wash out, they should.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Mike is catching just catching Ray. I don't think there's
strays like I think they are a little bit more direct.
They're direct, like they are aimed.
Speaker 15 (10:12):
Hey, ched excited about the game today?
Speaker 4 (10:15):
Thanks? Just quick question.
Speaker 15 (10:17):
What do you think is more important for you see
the basketball program or the football program. I'm thinking basketball.
I mean that's I think that's their identity. But I'm
curious to hear what you have to say.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
It depends on what you're talking about. Financially, it's football.
Football drives the bus. But historically this is a school
that was built on its basketball program. So when you
talk about like fan support and deep rooted ties and
passion and desire, it's U see basketball. But when it
(10:52):
comes to college athletics in twenty twenty five, football makes
the money. So it's an interesting dynamic that that you
don't have in a lot of places. Uh. But I
think the university is aware that football drives the boss,
but also that basketball in this community. You see, basketball
(11:13):
is is ingrained in this community. There are you know,
decades and decades and decades of people that grew up
around and loving you see basketball, do you see football?
Program essentially is twenty five years old, So it's just
a different conversation.
Speaker 10 (11:30):
Hey guys, it's it's and I have a short collection
of poetry today.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
All right, here we go, feel indulgement. I'm gonna get
killed for some reason. I feel like ro hosts, ro hosts.
Speaker 10 (11:40):
Wherefore art thou offense? Row hosts?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Here?
Speaker 10 (11:44):
I sit all broken hearted. McLean tries to hit, but
Stuart should have started. Reds are Red, Dodgers are Blue.
That series was garbage and Nick Crawl is too thank you.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
I thought I was going to take as stray Nick
Kral caught one. Look, it's well done. It's well done.
I'm not as down on Nick Krawl as others because
I think Nick Krawl does a decent job operating with
the restrictions that he is given, with these shackles placed
on him from his ownership group. I thought he'd when
(12:21):
you look at like what he was able to go
do without spending any money really at the trade deadline.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Pretty impressive. Yeah, pretty good. Honestly, I feel the exact
same way about Nick Kral. He's he's the easy target.
Speaker 4 (12:34):
But I'm with you.
Speaker 6 (12:35):
I think for what he did with the constraints that
he had on him to go and acquire three players
who have have been impactful for the Reds since they've
acquired them, and littell Key, Brian Hayes and Andrew Harrw
I know, nursing a bit of a sore quad right now,
which is why you didn't really see him much in
the Dodger series.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
So yeah, I give him credit there.
Speaker 6 (12:54):
Obviously he's not without fault either, but yeah, I don't
really Nick Krawl doesn't get a lot of my vitriol.
Speaker 16 (13:00):
Most of the time, repping my city out here. Sonny
hot Zuner, what up chair, my g man? I love
the bump of music, Keep on bumping, player, yo, Mike Mark, Yeah,
I'm giving you guys, y'all flower, y'all some passionate fans.
I love the energy. I love the negativity. I love
the positivity of both. That's what you are when you're
diehard fan. You always got to represent your city, call
your organization out. They're acting like bums and that's what
(13:22):
they are doing right now. Reds got swept, wear the
white flag, Bengals make the super Bowl run. This is
our time, and you see do me a favorite beat Nebraska?
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Well said, Well said.
Speaker 17 (13:35):
Ron Chad Brendo.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
I got you first. You might want to wipe after
that one. I wasn't. I got your first, though, Yes
you did. Hey guys, this is Ryan Ryan Pats win
in twenty to nineteen. Okay, on the road home game
makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 18 (14:01):
And the Reds took all my forks because I stuck
all my forks in them.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
Have a good day, guy, was never mind. I'm gonna
just go the next one.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
The colors, Mike and Mark.
Speaker 13 (14:17):
I need a sponsorship at this point. Can we just
make from like quarter till one till one third time?
So I knowed two now because every time it seems
like I'm about to tune in, I hear they're droning,
boring takes on things, and and then I just turn
(14:38):
it off.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Can we just can we stop with the everyday calls? Please?
It's not my it's not my show. I'm just I'm
just the steward of this show for the day. Yep,
we call in, We talked to them. That's how that's
how it goes when Chad and I are are in
the seats.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
This is also Mike from l A.
Speaker 17 (14:57):
That's lower Avondale. And how about them Dodgers to sweeping
the Reds and you know their season might be done
at this point, but you know, I'm getting excited for
football season. Talk a little Rams, talk a little Chargers,
and you always take from there.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
I'm pumped. Even college ball u c LA, let's go, baby.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
Even people and even people in LA don't talk about
the Chargers or or u c l A. Yeah for sure,
all right, last one unless one comes up with the buzzer.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Good shout out Mike from LA. Everybody needs to leave
him alone.
Speaker 18 (15:31):
He's a loyal listener, he's a good man, he's a
good boy. We're all just jealous because he's out there
winning championships. He's got good teams and organizations are roof
for and we're sitting here stuck in the same old trash.
Speaker 4 (15:43):
Where are you gonna go? Not wrong? Heavy heavy mic
in La day. I mean you know that Mike kind
of look, I love Mike, Mike Mike is you know,
I hold Mike's friendship dearly. But when you go off
like that, you're asking for people to react to it.
Speaker 6 (16:01):
You're absolutely right, And that is all the talkbacks for today.
Let me let me give advice for people out there.
If you don't want the smoke, don't ask for the smoke,
like if you just if you if they don't think
that it's getting to you, people will stop coming at you.
If they know that it's getting to you, you're gonna
(16:21):
get six talkbacks taking a shot at you, right, that's
just you know, I like the smoke, so I fan
the flames like I can give it.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
I can take it like I'm good. But you know,
if it bothers you, then just don't let people know
it bothers you, and they won't. They won't do it anymore.
Let's take a break, a little touch and go, and
we get done there after this. Yeah, probably what it is. Okay,
we'll touch and go Cincin ninety, ESPN fifteen thirty
