Speaker 1 (00:00):
On ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
In talkbacks with an opportunity to win a since he
(00:35):
Shirts gift card the Friday edition of talkbacks, which start
right now.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
I made him an offer he couldn't refuse. Yes you did, Ken,
Never doubt I godfather, heavy cow go rid.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
The power that Ken possesses from out of the country
talking to the Pope changing things up yesterday, directly correlating
to a reds win. He said, capiche capeche.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
No wait, it is finally over.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
It's time for Sens three sixty featuring Cincinnati bear Cat
legend Tony iad dropped dimes pie okay, and Sydney's own Austin.
I rarely tag off Elmo on the Home of Bengals Cincinnati,
ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Man, how about that? I give that a nine point
five out of two.
Speaker 6 (01:31):
About that that little voice crack, though there was a crack,
there was a little one.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That's why we deducted the point fought.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
So everyone was predicting that the Bengals could do ten
to eleven wins this year. What makes everyone think that
they didn't do anything to improve the defense?
Speaker 7 (01:44):
Wrong?
Speaker 4 (01:45):
They were twenty eighth in the league in defense. Last year,
they had the third easiest schedule in the NFL. Last
year still didn't make the playoffs. They have a new
defensive coordinator.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I get it.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
However, a new coach is not going to change anything.
Look at Terry Francona, for instance. Everybody thought that he
was going to change the whole thing the Reds. But
the Reds almost got swept by the White Sox and
the Reds are still the Reds. So what makes everyone
think now the.
Speaker 6 (02:07):
Reds are essentially four games into the NFL season. Maybe, yeah,
I mean I don't. The Reds at least have a
history of completely screwing it up and have sucked for
a long time. The Bengals they've made their defense better. Yeah,
I mean they have. I don't know how you could
(02:27):
say otherwise, not substantially, but they're better.
Speaker 8 (02:31):
Hey guys, Jeff and you Richmond. Happy Friday to you.
I want to talk about Nick Krawl and the Reds.
I was looking at his stats since he's been in
charge back in twenty fifteen, and he is over two
hundred games below five hundred since he's had any reasonable
(02:52):
pull within the organization.
Speaker 2 (02:55):
So with that being said, hmm, well, hm, he hasn't really.
Speaker 6 (03:03):
Dick Williams was the GM for a while. Nick hasn't
been in like a huge position of pool except for
like the last five years.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
So so the key.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
To this is how open is the organization to giving
Terry Francona some power. You know, Joe Burrow has it
with the Bengals. Yo, could Frankcona walk into the office
and say we need to get rid of the GM.
This is not the direction that we need to go
as a franchise. And with the Castellini's listen, I think
(03:42):
that is going to be the key to this summer
and what happened.
Speaker 6 (03:46):
All Right, we got to do a little bit better
job of squeezing these into thirty seconds. We can't have
a bunch of these back to backs. But Francona already
has more power than David Bell ever had. Well like saying,
I believe that I know for a fact that Frank
has pretty much full discretion over the lineup. He gets
to pick the lineup exactly how he wants to do it,
day in, day out. And they've also paid Terry Francono
(04:09):
a lot of money and with that is a little
bit more power. So I believe that he does have
more power. Is it substantial? Is it over ruling Nick
Cral and Brad Metter? Probably not, But I do think
he has more power on the day to day.
Speaker 9 (04:24):
Okay, it's God, God, and through the yard glass.
Speaker 10 (04:30):
These are the trace of our lives.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Man.
Speaker 10 (04:35):
Once Trey wakes up from napping with his banky and
his all finishkin verb, the Bengal should approach him with
this offer. For every tackle he makes that's on a QB,
he gets an extra one hundred thousand dollars. And we're
stopping lately. I feel like after he called there, Tim,
the Reds went on a little run. And right now
my stoptimisment is at an all time low. Right now
we need Scott Scott get it together.
Speaker 6 (04:56):
Yeah, Scott, Scott, Well, Scotty that signal, that's the new
cat from the bear Cat ba.
Speaker 11 (05:10):
I just checked Baseball Reference and Raphael Forcall's career war
numbers are.
Speaker 12 (05:15):
Now first place all time growing literal.
Speaker 6 (05:17):
Missiles is well done from our buddy ballin ain't easy?
Speaker 12 (05:27):
OUs is former President Ronald Reagan? And well, I hear
that the bear Cats have a players named day day.
Baba Ji Jizzle and big slimes, and now I'm hearing
rumors that they're going after a Juco transfer named the
Throwable Missile.
Speaker 11 (05:45):
Oh Man, Rise and shine, Reds fans and grab your
foam finger.
Speaker 13 (06:00):
If you're headed down to the ballpark to see if
the Reds can climb their way back to five hundred,
make sure you arrive early because Phil is coming out
pre game to see if he sees his shadow and
we get six more weeks of mediocrity.
Speaker 11 (06:12):
That's right, Reds fans, it's roundhog Day.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Did you know that with the songs? Have you ever
watched Groundhog?
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I had.
Speaker 14 (06:20):
Hey, Vice President David Bell, living up here above mediocrity?
Are you starting to understand why I got ejected so
many times? It's because I couldn't watch that clown show
of a team play baseball anymore, especially with a bunch
(06:40):
of double A interle a guys always seemingly coming up
to the big league roster because of so many injuries,
same old Reds.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, thank you, David.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It's got a good point. I think some people owed
David an apology.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
He said he's living above mediocrity.
Speaker 15 (06:56):
What guys, it's stuff from Hyde Park. Given the amount
of acts that we have to sports media nowadays, it
is so rare to hear a truly original perspective on
a hard hitting issue, a real hot take, Addie Elmore.
I was absolutely blown away when you said today, good
pitching is good pitching for a reason, because the pitchers
are good. Sure, you had the courage to say, with
(07:18):
nobody else, thank you for being a Maverick.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
You're welcome, man, man, You're welcome the path less traveled.
You don't get that anywhere else, the path less traveled.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
How are the these teams winning? How are the Cardinals
and the Brewers and the Coups consistently better than the
Cincinnati Bengals, s, the Guardians, the Royals, the Twins, the Mariners,
the Athletics. Yeah, how are these teams winning? Yeah? How
are the Cardinals and the Brewers and the Cups consistently
(07:49):
better than the Cincinnati Bengals at all point? Are Listen?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I've been trying to get Tony to get out of
the habit of saying Cincinnati Reds every single time. Yeah,
I'm trying to get him to be a little more conversational. Nope,
just say Reds, Just say Bengals. Talk like a normal person. No,
see what happens when you keep adding the Cincinnati in
front of everything, you start getting the two mixed up.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I was talking about the Arizona Cardinals and the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I like Mike and I wish the best for him.
Speaker 16 (08:20):
But seeing me the boohoo on the.
Speaker 17 (08:22):
West coast teams have to come east get out of here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I agree with you. The only thing I'll say about
that is the other way going around. When you got
to go out there and play like a what would
be like a ten am start, I think then you
have a little bit of an advantage.
Speaker 18 (08:37):
I find it interesting that the basketball playoffs and the
hockey playoffs that pretty much go on at the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, they do.
Speaker 18 (08:47):
I like to watch hockey because where else can I
announce or say, berlinsk, you got the puck out of
there and not get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Thank you. Jim.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
And one of my bosses today inquired about Jim Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
He said, who is that guy? How does he know
who the sheriff is?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
So fellas Also, I know you said to be cautious
about Will Benson, but I won't. I'll be overly optimistic, Okay,
Like for the first time long time. I was excited.
You could say I was beaming. I mean, I love
this guy.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He can field. I mean, yeah, he's gonna strike out.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
But who isn't striking out?
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Man?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Everyone's striking out, So what's the difference. I mean, this
guy's gonna hit bombs.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I love he's my favorite player bombs.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I just checked that talkback was left by Will Benson,
So there you go, Willie Beamon.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Terry collecting the check? Frank Kona.
Speaker 13 (09:50):
Said it before.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You guys will agree with me soon. I'll talk to
you in the two weeks. Aren't we all just collecting
a check?
Speaker 15 (09:57):
To you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Ain't collecting checks? Man, I really don't.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I think he is either, just because I will say
this though, with this franchise and how completely inept it
is from the top down, there's no guarantee. There never
was a guarantee that he was just going to come
in here and win. We had multiple segments leading up
(10:20):
to spring training and throughout spring training where I asked
the question, are we putting too much on Terry Francona
is going to fix everything? Go back check the tape. Yes,
we were excited when he got hired. Who wouldn't be
and then they made a couple acquisitions, like, okay, but
is that enough? We had that conversation, it was it
(10:40):
constantly felt like they needed one more. And it still
feels like Francona is not the main issue here, which
is the point behind the question I was asking, Charlie
because I find myself really frustrated that the team itself
is not performing well, and I was hoping to get
a little bit more out of that from Francona. I
(11:00):
was hoping he'd squeeze the juice out of those guys
a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But also.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Those guys might not have that much juice because of
how bad the other part of the organization is. And
that's what I'm struggling with as a Reds fan, because
I know there's some talent and I was hoping he
would do a better job maximizing it. And maybe he
still will, because as you mentioned earlier, it's still early,
but at the same time, he's kind of already playing
(11:27):
from behind because of how terrible Crawl and Meta and
those guys are at their jobs. And so I'm trying
to figure out if it's possible to separate the two
and come up with a solution I don't know that
there is right.
Speaker 18 (11:42):
Hey, you know Sonny Toono, he died skiing down a hill.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And he hit a tree. Right. You know there's a
plaque on that tree.
Speaker 18 (11:52):
Plaque says I got you, babe.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh, I got you babe. It's a good one.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Guessing that's a sunny Sonny bonos On and sher Yeah,
I got you babe.
Speaker 14 (12:03):
Hey, Austin got again with the double dip.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Hello, Lord, anyway to clean up.
Speaker 18 (12:07):
That little glitch in the beginning of our talkbacks?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yeah, I'm working on it. Some of them I can
get it to go away, and some of them I can't.
I think I gotta do something with my browser.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Here, my web browser.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I know it's annoying glitch. Working on six, working on
it all right. That was our last one fix the glitches.
I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine talkbacks saved from this week.
Speaker 2 (12:34):

Now your host mo Eck one.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of the best regular season games of the twenty twenty
four NFL season took place at Pey Corpse Stadium last December,
when the Bengals walked off the Denver Broncos with a
game ending t Higgins touchdown. The same two teams will
meet again, this time in Denver in Cincinnati's first primetime
game of the season.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
In Week four.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The Broncos were a playoff team last season, edging out
the Bengals for the AFC's final spot, and expectations for
the Broncos this season are mile high. One of the
reasons is Denver's defense, a unit that led the NFL
in sacks last season and should provide a stiff test
to a Cincinnati offensive line that should have two new
starters at guard. It'll be the Bengals and Broncos in
(13:36):
Denver on Monday night, September twenty nine.
Speaker 16 (13:40):
Moe has more on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home

Did you know that with the songs? Have you ever
watched Groundhog?
Speaker 9 (06:20):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (06:20):
I had.
Speaker 14 (06:20):
Hey, Vice President David Bell, living up here above mediocrity?
Are you starting to understand why I got ejected so
many times? It's because I couldn't watch that clown show
of a team play baseball anymore, especially with a bunch
(06:40):
of double A interle a guys always seemingly coming up
to the big league roster because of so many injuries,
same old Reds.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Well, thank you, David.
Speaker 6 (06:51):
It's got a good point. I think some people owed
David an apology.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
He said he's living above mediocrity.
Speaker 15 (06:56):
What guys, it's stuff from Hyde Park. Given the amount
of acts that we have to sports media nowadays, it
is so rare to hear a truly original perspective on
a hard hitting issue, a real hot take, Addie Elmore.
I was absolutely blown away when you said today, good
pitching is good pitching for a reason, because the pitchers
are good. Sure, you had the courage to say, with
(07:18):
nobody else, thank you for being a Maverick.
Speaker 6 (07:21):
You're welcome, man, man, You're welcome the path less traveled.
You don't get that anywhere else, the path less traveled.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
How are the these teams winning? How are the Cardinals
and the Brewers and the Coups consistently better than the
Cincinnati Bengals, s, the Guardians, the Royals, the Twins, the Mariners,
the Athletics. Yeah, how are these teams winning? Yeah? How
are the Cardinals and the Brewers and the Cups consistently
(07:49):
better than the Cincinnati Bengals at all point? Are Listen?
Speaker 6 (07:56):
I've been trying to get Tony to get out of
the habit of saying Cincinnati Reds every single time. Yeah,
I'm trying to get him to be a little more conversational. Nope,
just say Reds, Just say Bengals. Talk like a normal person. No,
see what happens when you keep adding the Cincinnati in
front of everything, you start getting the two mixed up.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
I was talking about the Arizona Cardinals and the Bengals.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I like Mike and I wish the best for him.
Speaker 16 (08:20):
But seeing me the boohoo on the.
Speaker 17 (08:22):
West coast teams have to come east get out of here.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I agree with you. The only thing I'll say about
that is the other way going around. When you got
to go out there and play like a what would
be like a ten am start, I think then you
have a little bit of an advantage.
Speaker 18 (08:37):
I find it interesting that the basketball playoffs and the
hockey playoffs that pretty much go on at the same time.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
Yes, they do.
Speaker 18 (08:47):
I like to watch hockey because where else can I
announce or say, berlinsk, you got the puck out of
there and not get in trouble.
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Thank you. Jim.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
And one of my bosses today inquired about Jim Oh.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
He said, who is that guy? How does he know
who the sheriff is?
Speaker 7 (09:09):
So fellas Also, I know you said to be cautious
about Will Benson, but I won't. I'll be overly optimistic, Okay,
Like for the first time long time. I was excited.
You could say I was beaming. I mean, I love
this guy.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
He can field. I mean, yeah, he's gonna strike out.
Speaker 7 (09:30):
But who isn't striking out?
Speaker 8 (09:31):
Man?
Speaker 7 (09:32):
Everyone's striking out, So what's the difference. I mean, this
guy's gonna hit bombs.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I love he's my favorite player bombs.
Speaker 6 (09:40):
I just checked that talkback was left by Will Benson,
So there you go, Willie Beamon.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Terry collecting the check? Frank Kona.
Speaker 13 (09:50):
Said it before.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
You guys will agree with me soon. I'll talk to
you in the two weeks. Aren't we all just collecting
a check?
Speaker 15 (09:57):
To you?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Ain't collecting checks? Man, I really don't.
Speaker 6 (10:00):
I think he is either, just because I will say
this though, with this franchise and how completely inept it
is from the top down, there's no guarantee. There never
was a guarantee that he was just going to come
in here and win. We had multiple segments leading up
(10:20):
to spring training and throughout spring training where I asked
the question, are we putting too much on Terry Francona
is going to fix everything? Go back check the tape. Yes,
we were excited when he got hired. Who wouldn't be
and then they made a couple acquisitions, like, okay, but
is that enough? We had that conversation, it was it
(10:40):
constantly felt like they needed one more. And it still
feels like Francona is not the main issue here, which
is the point behind the question I was asking, Charlie
because I find myself really frustrated that the team itself
is not performing well, and I was hoping to get
a little bit more out of that from Francona. I
(11:00):
was hoping he'd squeeze the juice out of those guys
a little bit more.
Speaker 2 (11:03):
But also.
Speaker 6 (11:06):
Those guys might not have that much juice because of
how bad the other part of the organization is. And
that's what I'm struggling with as a Reds fan, because
I know there's some talent and I was hoping he
would do a better job maximizing it. And maybe he
still will, because as you mentioned earlier, it's still early,
but at the same time, he's kind of already playing
(11:27):
from behind because of how terrible Crawl and Meta and
those guys are at their jobs. And so I'm trying
to figure out if it's possible to separate the two
and come up with a solution I don't know that
there is right.
Speaker 18 (11:42):
Hey, you know Sonny Toono, he died skiing down a hill.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
And he hit a tree. Right. You know there's a
plaque on that tree.
Speaker 18 (11:52):
Plaque says I got you, babe.
Speaker 2 (11:55):
Oh, I got you babe. It's a good one.
Speaker 6 (12:00):
Guessing that's a sunny Sonny bonos On and sher Yeah,
I got you babe.
Speaker 14 (12:03):
Hey, Austin got again with the double dip.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Hello, Lord, anyway to clean up.
Speaker 18 (12:07):
That little glitch in the beginning of our talkbacks?
Speaker 6 (12:11):
Yeah, I'm working on it. Some of them I can
get it to go away, and some of them I can't.
I think I gotta do something with my browser.
Speaker 2 (12:17):
Here, my web browser.
Speaker 6 (12:20):
I know it's annoying glitch. Working on six, working on
it all right. That was our last one fix the glitches.
I have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight,
nine talkbacks saved from this week.
Speaker 2 (12:34):

Speaker 1 (12:57):
Of the best regular season games of the twenty twenty
four NFL season took place at Pey Corpse Stadium last December,
when the Bengals walked off the Denver Broncos with a
game ending t Higgins touchdown. The same two teams will
meet again, this time in Denver in Cincinnati's first primetime
game of the season.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
In Week four.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The Broncos were a playoff team last season, edging out
the Bengals for the AFC's final spot, and expectations for
the Broncos this season are mile high. One of the
reasons is Denver's defense, a unit that led the NFL
in sacks last season and should provide a stiff test
to a Cincinnati offensive line that should have two new
starters at guard. It'll be the Bengals and Broncos in
(13:36):
Denver on Monday night, September twenty nine.
Speaker 16 (13:40):
Moe has more on ESPN fifteen thirty, the official home
of the Bengals this baseball season.
