Speaker 1 (00:18):
It's our favorite part of S three. Sexy Austin. But

Oh boy, love is in there. What a Week? Chats

Speaker 5 (00:42):
Cats by ninety Oh.

Speaker 4 (00:46):

Speaker 6 (00:51):
Former Cincinnati Bearcats standout tight end, arguably one of the
best tight ends to ever played in the National Football
League is now officially engaged. Announced via social media, Travis
Kelcey and Taylor Swift Austin are officially engaged.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
Let's go.

Speaker 6 (01:11):
I love Love man, Love is in the air. Un believable,
got lee. The size of that ring, Wow, I mean
she's gonna have to have that is a humongous diamond.
I mean, how do you even I mean ginormous A
couple of you know, she's a billionaire, but yeah, I'd
say that's a couple of carrots. Yeah, I'd say that's

(01:33):
a few. Oh my goodness, good for them. You know,
so much happened in the last couple of minutes. While
you were talking to Dean. There the obvious announcement that
has just changed the world in Travis Kelcey and Taylor
Swift getting engaged. And on top of that, the Reds
announced their twenty twenty six schedule, oh which features them

(01:54):
opening day March twenty sixth, twenty twenty six against the
Boston Red Sox WO, which is fun. I don't think
those two teams have ever met on opening day before.
And then on top of that, it looks like PJ.
Jewles has made the team. Man, I mean, what more' mo?

Speaker 4 (02:13):
Where's mo? PJ Mules is a member of this roster.

Speaker 6 (02:17):
I should say he's made the initial fifty three. Sure,
there's still some times it's a good way to put it,
but uh, I mean, what a day in the Tri
state area. So are do you wanna call him?

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Tavis?

Speaker 7 (02:32):
Is?

Speaker 6 (02:32):
Tavis's first public appearance going to be Thursday at Arrowhead.
So that's the thing engagement I saw when they joined. Uh,
Travis jumped on with the busting with the boys, and
obviously Will Compton's a Nebraska guy. Travis said he'll be
in attendance Thursday. Sure, Now, whether Travis is up you know,
in his suite that he has at Arrowhead Stadium or

(02:52):
he's down on the sidelines. I don't know, but it
does raise the question is Taylor with him? And if
Taylor's with him, is she the seapole? You would think
she has to if she dons the seapole? Where does
that rank in one of the greatest marketing placements ever.
I don't know how to tell you this tone, but
it's number one, and it's not close. It's Tupac would

(03:15):
be number two. Yeah, that pictures that picture goes hard.
Tupac is number two. Anything with the Jordan logo on
it is up there. Because wasn't there a couple of
There was a few times it went that people were
wearing it with the Jordan like jerseys and stuff.

Speaker 4 (03:31):
Right, the shorts?

Speaker 6 (03:32):
Yeah, are they big enough now that if she were
to be there, could they even stand on the sidelines? No, No,
they would have to be in the suite. No, like
there's no change. Well, they're not going to watch a
game from the sideline. No, But I've seen but Travis
has come to a couple and he usually no, that's
not an Arrowhead stadium, right, or he's got access to
his own suite. So yeah, that's a little different. Yeah,

(03:53):
what a day man. That's awesome, dude.

Speaker 4 (03:55):
What a day man.

Speaker 6 (03:56):
Congratulations to Travis and Taylor. I know everyone's really excited
about and the Bearcat family growing. Unreal man, oh man,
this happens on a Tuesday. Bearcats win on a Thursday.
Things are looking up for you. So well, we got
a long way to go before all that. Well, let's
get the talkbacks.

Speaker 8 (04:14):
Then, Happy Tuesday boys. Interesting thing real quick. I'm sure
you've been talking about it for an hour. I always
catch up behind and I apologize. But my question is simple, Like,
if you're these two sides that are six to ten
million apart, then you overpay for just one year and
you reserve the right to franchise tag or tagging trade
or whatever. If you're the Bengals, is it as simple

(04:36):
as like Tray's just like, okay, I'm gonna give you
one really good year, and the Bengels think, oh, he's
probably gonna retire anyway, So like, how does it happen
this way?

Speaker 4 (04:44):
I don't think they think he's not going to be
any good after this year.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
Yeah, the whole the whole time has been built around
they don't want to pay because they're worried about a decline.
Now you don't have to worry about that. You have
them for a one guaranteed year. They offered Trey a
three year deal worth ninety five million dollars. In the
second year, his base salary was only twenty three million.

(05:07):
If the Bengals had fully guaranteed that second year, he
probably would have signed that deal. But they don't think
after this year Trey Hendrickson is gonna be worth that
much money, right, So the deal was basically three years
ninety five with thirty million guaranteed and then twenty three

(05:29):
million if they want to keep him around next year,
which he would have been mad at and would have
asked for a new deal and a raise next year,
and then they could just cut loose that final forty
million dollars or whatever it was. And Trey understandably balked
at that offer. I don't blame him at all for saying, no,
I'm not going to do that.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Now.

Speaker 6 (05:46):
If it was thirty million this year and thirty million
next year, sure maybe it's a different story. But again,
golf it do. It just gives you the flexibility that
if he's tearing it up. You could go back in perfect.

Speaker 2 (06:01):
Need to go off to a fast start this year.
First two games a Sunday afternoon at one brainstorm, Hey,
let's move the practices of the cool of the morning. Hey,
to make the Whinnie Bee riders happy, hawstay camp, move
inside to the air conditioning. Yeah, this strategy really had
the troops ready to go Saturday at one o'clock. I

(06:23):
guess in the first game day, Zack's gonna look over
the fanskin say, hey, I thought this state was paying
to get you guys a dome.

Speaker 6 (06:30):
Well, Dave, the previous years haven't had them ready, so
why not change something here? It comes now here. They're
gonna go down with cramps in the second half. Well,
you got to get warmed up at ten o'clock, ten
thirty o'clock in the morning for a one o'clock game,
so their bodies will be adjusted.

Speaker 9 (06:46):
And egregious Offsin is your boy? Alex and Silberton's been
a minute. I'm ready for football season, ready to get
the hot takes flying, ready to wash our bearcats total.
But before all of that, Tody have a rank for you.
So we're gonna go with rank them of softest things.
So we'll go with Sharman Ultrasoft. We'll go with soft

(07:09):
served ice cream and os U banning.

Speaker 6 (07:15):
Man Scharman is, I don't speak for Charmon. I'd love to,
but they are super sharp, super soft. So I'll start Sharman,
I'll bench soft serve, and I'll cut Ohio State.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
Are you saying that Ohio State's justified in doing this,
I'm saying that out of those three, they're the least soft.
I'm asking you a different question. I don't know if
if it's had a good.

Speaker 6 (07:39):
Conversation with this morning from Ryan Day, I think that's
a little petty. But outside of the way that we
talked about at the start of the show, I think
that makes sense.

Speaker 10 (07:49):
You know.

Speaker 4 (07:49):
I like the deal.

Speaker 11 (07:51):
Neither side wins, neither side loses.

Speaker 12 (07:53):
But I'll tell you this now, there's no more excuses
because we got all of our guys in your contract.

Speaker 13 (07:59):
We're ready.

Speaker 4 (08:00):
We should be ready for week one.

Speaker 11 (08:01):
If it takes Tray more than two weeks to get.

Speaker 4 (08:03):
Ready, I mean, hell, we're in trouble. But he looks
like he's in shape. I think he'll be ready to go.

Speaker 12 (08:08):
But I want to ask y'all if for some reason
we start off zero and two again or one in three?
Are we talking about coaches getting fired at this point,
because I don't know what the hell else to do.

Speaker 6 (08:18):
Yeah, if they start, If they start one and three,
that does become a conversation.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
Absolutely, If they start two and five, they might trade Trey.

Speaker 14 (08:25):
It's the Lord on a Tuesday. Thank god Trey has signed.
We can stop talking about this contract nonsense and just
get on to talking about football. Football, football, football. Let's
talk some football.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Football. Weather always is football Weather.

Speaker 15 (08:44):
Got to rank him for you. Who gets the most
live in game nonfield screen time this weekend? Cooper and
Archie Manning, Matthew McConaughey or Belichick's lady friend.

Speaker 6 (08:57):
Or I think they're afraid of Belichick's lady friends? Or
does Travis take it on Thursday? Is he going to
be your leader? If Taylor is there, she's probably going
to be the winner. But then I would go McConaughey,
followed by Cooper, Cooper and arch.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
What's arch say? Get down or throw out of bounds?

Speaker 6 (09:17):
Yeah, get down or go out of bounds? Now, arch
had a great line. Did you see this? Huh uh?
Let me see if I can Is it about Caleb
Downs No, no, but arch Manning was asked the target's
not on he said, the target's not on our back.
We have a red dot on everyone else, which you know,
as far as I'm concerned, that goes hard here he is.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
We're going for everyone else. Target's not on our back.
We got a red dot on everyone else.

Speaker 6 (09:46):
Okay, that's kind of tough.

Speaker 16 (09:51):
Great, Sharonville, right, Kershaw is going to be licking his
chops today knowing he gets the picture of the reds tonight.
Tito last night in the post game seemed a little
irritated when one of the guys said, do him you
know this, the lack of hitting well tonight. We hit
quite a few balls hard, and we also hit quite

(10:12):
a few balls long well, Tito. The bottom line was
no runs in three hits.

Speaker 6 (10:18):
Yeah, that pissed me off. I saw that too. I
don't give a damn if you hit the ball hard. Yeah,
do not care at all. Launch angle a bunch of
WTP last night. You know what WTP is? What warning
track power?

Speaker 4 (10:30):
I've got a lot of that.

Speaker 10 (10:31):
Tony heads up, there's a rating system to help parents
out when it comes to movies. There's g PG PG
thirteen R, and then of course NC seventeen, Austin's favorite.
So your son might be struggling with some of these
Harry Potter movies because they are rated PG thirteen in

(10:53):
these frightening, demonic images might be scarring him. I take
it your son is not thirteen.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
Now you a little thank you?

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Did I miss something that was weeks ago we talked
about Harry Potter in the pape.

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Tony.

Speaker 17 (11:08):
First of all, I hope your bear cast go to
KC and shuck him Corn Huh, I mean going on
absolutely shell shuck everybody. Trey Haytererson Otna.

Speaker 4 (11:18):
This whole case confusing to me.

Speaker 16 (11:20):
The argument of long term contract, guarantee, money, financial stability,
all this drama, all of us holding out just.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
For a raise on his current deal. I don't know
make it makes sense. I guess the Bengals won this
one here day.

Speaker 6 (11:34):
Yeah, Mike Brown's three and zero against Trey Henderson undefeated.

Speaker 18 (11:37):
Hello, this is former president Ronald Riggin and Will It's
good that Tree has signed, but remember last year he
was with the team and it wasn't good enough. Despite
Joe Burrow, Jamar Chiese and t. Higgins having incredible seasons?
What was missing? Will I'm contacting my Treasury secretary and
I'm going to demand better perform romans from Moneymack. That

(12:02):
is the missing key element.

Speaker 4 (12:05):
Come on, money man, this is.

Speaker 7 (12:09):
The owner of the Cincinnati Pro Football Brown. I have
exciting news about a transaction we completed yesterday that will
help the competitiveness of our football.

Speaker 4 (12:22):
Team this season.

Speaker 7 (12:24):
We have changed the soup du jour in our staff
cafeteria on Fridays from being with bacon to Baja chicken
che lada.

Speaker 4 (12:37):
Wow.

Speaker 19 (12:39):
Wow.

Speaker 20 (12:41):
This guy even talked back a notable cuts. I saw
Lyle Collins floating around out there. Brown feel like the
Bengals are going to try to snatch him up, turn
him into a guarden trum Brown, and then Mike Hilton
return feels inevitable. I can't say that coverage was much
to get excited about, but good Blitzer, who knows, Please

(13:05):
tell me I'm wrong.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Mike Hilton, Trey Flowers, Trent Brown, El Collins, all former
Bengals that have been cut. Which one of those for
you would you welcome back? Probably Trey Flowers, Okay, maybe
Trent Brown.

Speaker 7 (13:18):
The Baja Chicken Enchilada soup will give energy to our
scouting department of four people to scour the four corners
of the continental United States for pro ready talent for
US to draft for years to come.

Speaker 4 (13:40):
All right, that's the Baja.

Speaker 21 (13:45):
Hey Austin, Hey, Tony Brandon for Inndy. Hopefully you guys
are doing well, Tony. I hope you had a wonderful
day on the golf course yesterday.

Speaker 4 (13:52):
Great weather.

Speaker 13 (13:52):
Hey.

Speaker 21 (13:53):
As far as the Bengals are concerning Trey Hendrickson, I
think it's good they got him signed. We'll have to
see what happens. I knew they had to do something,
but he's had no training camp, no practice, so I
don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 21 (14:06):
And as far as the Reds are concerned, I think
they just ran out of gas.

Speaker 6 (14:09):
I just don't think they're good enough. But we'll see.
God bless, thank you. It just does feel like it
felt like. And I make a ton of Seinfeld reference.
There's a Seinfeld episode Austin where Kramer gets in with
a car salesman and they test drive a car and
they essentially turn into seeing how much they can push

(14:33):
the fuel until it actually runs out. So they try
to get below e and I feel like what the
Reds have done has been kind of like that they
just don't have the horses to match up with these
other teams. And I feel like they have gotten everything
out of what they have. But there's a team with
maybe newer tires, maybe that just filled up on gas,

(14:54):
and the Mets that went through this rocky stage and
now they're kind of finding their level. And I think
you're gonna look back and think, Man, there was too
many wasted opportunities.

Speaker 4 (15:03):
For the Reds.

Speaker 6 (15:04):
Yeah, at the end of the year, it won't be
that the Reds missed the playoffs, will be that they
just ran out of time.

Speaker 22 (15:10):
Yeah, very glad the deal got done. Obviously, wish you
could have got done sooner. I was good for the Bengals, man.
I wouldn't really want to give him more than a
one year contract, but they definitely needed the one year.
All the poor Reds and the Mets have refound themselves.

Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 23 (15:33):
Always next year.

Speaker 4 (15:36):
Where they open up against the Red Sox.

Speaker 24 (15:41):
Hey, congrats the cal Raley on the Big five to
Ozero with that upper deck steamer last night.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
It's always one.

Speaker 25 (15:54):
Hey, guys, Stephen Montgomery not sure, why josepho size and
getting a little bit more love. I keep hearing you
say that things like he hasn't really shown anything. Yeah,
he got injured right when he came out. He had
two injuries in two different camps. Last year down the stretch.
I think he had six sacks.

Speaker 26 (16:10):
In the final seven games, and he grated out very
well also against the run. And he's playing on the
left side, not the quarterbacks blind side. I think the
guy deserves a little more credit and a little more
hope going.

Speaker 6 (16:21):
To why why is this so hard to understand? Yes,
last year he was really good. We talked about that
the last five games going into training camp. The difference
is how many times have we set his name this year?

Speaker 4 (16:34):
Zero?

Speaker 6 (16:36):
I except going into camp with with what a great opportunity.
I can count on one hand how many Joseph oside
conversations you and Mohad when you were down in training camp.
It never got brought up, and the only thing that
jumped off the tape. The only thing that was brought
up was what an opportunity he has? Yeah, with Shamar
Stewart at the time and Trey Hendrickson, and he never
once took advantage of anything. The point is that this

(16:57):
year he and Miles Murphy have done nothing. Who grab
hold of the opportunity they were given?

Speaker 4 (17:02):
Correct?

Speaker 6 (17:02):
Now, can he be good? Yes, we've seen it. We've
seen flashes, especially at the end of last year, but
no momentum coming into training camp this year. That's been
the issue.

Speaker 27 (17:12):
Hey Joe from case here, I was shocked. If we
see Trey move around on any other part of the line.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
He's got that one move.

Speaker 27 (17:19):
It's half bull rush, half been around the end, and
sometimes he gets lucky and the quarterback drops back into
his path and he gets the sack. I mean he's
a good player, obviously led the league in sacks. He's
just not a great player. He's not a game changer.
He can't move around.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
And do it.

Speaker 27 (17:34):
It's hard to do that one move from anywhere else
on the line.

Speaker 6 (17:38):
I think he's a great player. I don't think he's
an elite NFL player than.

Speaker 7 (17:43):
We need a safety. Let's let's take a page out
of that Marvel Lewis playbook and let's see if the
old Chris Crocker's got something left in the tank.

Speaker 4 (17:52):
Uh huh.

Speaker 6 (17:52):
Now, people forget Chris Crocker. He once got hurt and
they put on the scoreboard Chris Cocker. So that wasn't
very good. It didn't help.

Speaker 28 (18:00):
Yeah, happy day, Tony and Austin lots to talk about.
They signed their man, those Bengals, But are they going
to get a guaranteed solid D out of that?

Speaker 18 (18:11):
Now?

Speaker 29 (18:11):
I don't know.

Speaker 23 (18:12):
I'd rather have two edge tacklers than on an edge rusher,
but that's just me. If they wanted guarantees on that
solid D, they should have gone to try State Men's Health,
where if you don't get the results you're looking for,
your visit is absolutely free. They paid thirty million dollars.
Now I'm good, hungry, it's skyline time. Gosh, well done.

(18:33):
I was wondering where that was going.

Speaker 17 (18:36):
Good afternoon, gentlemen. I'm a bit puzzled by Trey Hendrickson
in this deal, not complaining. We got him for another year.
We could put the tag on him. But the thing
I don't understand is is this man passionately spoke about
the fact that he wanted a long term contract, he
wanted guarantees for his family, and I don't know. The
NFL doesn't seem to be a profession that you're guaranteed tomorrow.

(19:00):
I'm just saying whole time, but I don't know what
you guys.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
Have said up this whole time.

Speaker 6 (19:06):
And I knew he would cave when they gave him
an offer, because will it's always been about the money
for Trey. Will this result or does part of the
offer result in him being a captain? Is he a
team captain?

Speaker 13 (19:19):
Now?

Speaker 3 (19:20):
It doesn't even live here. I don't know where he's
party bars. It's your buddy to talk back, cowboy, hang on,
give me a second. Yeah, I'd like to choose Conies, Chilly,
choose Frians and at bat Coca Cola. I'll forward sorry

(19:42):
about the dams, got a lot doing on a lot
of irons and the fires ahead to the old ballpark.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
The your cowboy.

Speaker 6 (19:52):
I just feel like you two did not acknowledge Sean
from Boston's comment about Tony Robo do that fuddy?

Speaker 16 (20:01):
He pretty much said the only thing Tony Romo contributes
to broadcast seeing his making.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Noises like he's passing again.

Speaker 11 (20:11):
He oh, I don't know, Jim, that's funny stuff.

Speaker 18 (20:16):
Also, Mike from La Gosh, stop calling.

Speaker 4 (20:19):
He don't get on me often.

Speaker 9 (20:20):
I call the show.

Speaker 6 (20:23):
I will say this I got a couple of texts
from Mike in La saying about the random venereal disease
comment he made about bj Hill.

Speaker 4 (20:32):
That was pretty funny.

Speaker 6 (20:33):
John has quietly turned into one of my favorite callers. Yeah,
he snuck that one through. I'll be honest. I didn't
even got past the keep till just now got past
the keeper. Yeah, I mean the noises that Tony Romo makes. Yeah, unbelievable.

Speaker 11 (20:46):
Hey guys, Jeff and the Richmond Happy Tuesday tun Yet Hey,
so sad to see des get cut.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
After Saturday.

Speaker 11 (20:57):
I kind of felt that with comics, if you're cutting
by performance alone, I think gift to cut Lucas Patrick,
you know what, try to acquire somebody in a trade,
do something, but he's going to get Joe killed if
he's out there.

Speaker 4 (21:15):
I cut Lucas Patrick to that.

Speaker 6 (21:18):
I disagree with this notion that Lucas Patrick has been
got off. I think he's bad. I don't think he's
been great. I don't know that I'd even say he's
been good. But to act as if he was Alex
Kappa or Cordel Volson from a year ago, I think
is just wrong. Might be I think he's been a
lot better than those two guys.

Speaker 19 (21:38):
Good afternoon, Gentlemen's Rob from Michigan.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
What up, Rob?

Speaker 14 (21:41):
Hey?

Speaker 19 (21:42):
Did you guys get a chance to see Chris Henry
Junior play Saturday on ESPN. The guy looks and plays
exactly like his dad. Incredible. And what's going on with
YouTube TV? It might not show State Texas game.

Speaker 4 (22:01):
I don't know. Oh, that's gonna be rough.

Speaker 19 (22:05):
Have a good day, gentlemen.

Speaker 6 (22:07):
I don't know the details of that YouTube TV. Yeah,
I do know this. I didn't watch the game itself,
but I saw the highlight. That was one of the
best catches I've ever seen. Yeah, Chrisiner Jr. Over the
opposed shoulder. I believe he's out in California, barely even
saw it. Got away for some bad influences.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Dave the Ohio next year, him and Jeremiah Smith on
the season player.

Speaker 5 (22:29):
Man't wait, check Brindle here. I know everything there is
to know about football. I have a website, I got
a blog. You don't believe me, Try and challenge me
on Twitter.

Speaker 4 (22:43):
I will own you undefeated.

Speaker 5 (22:45):
That being said Battle Royal this weekend on the River
before the fireworks, me and the Bengals. How dare you
cut des Ritter, he should start over Burrow.

Speaker 4 (23:00):
He is undefeated.

Speaker 24 (23:02):
Triple trio. I was fortunate last Friday in my twelve
team Fantasy Football League draft to get the overall number
one pick at number one, Jamar Chase at pick number
twenty four. T Higgins at pick number twenty five, Joe Burrow.

Speaker 6 (23:22):
Crack them up. Wow, I love that. Ooh, that's bold?
Where is uh? That's bold in your opinion? What where's
the worst position to draft in a fantasy draft? Well,
if it's a snake draft, I'm in six and one
and I hate it. If it's a snake draft, if
you're at the very end of the first round, I
don't think it's good. Or if you're at the very end,

(23:44):
it sucks. Yes, you get back to back picks, but
you have to wait forever. Yeah, and a run on
a position player can force your hand. Do you want
a this year? Do you want the number one overall pick?
Is it that cut?

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I don't. I would Chase. I don't really care.

Speaker 6 (23:58):
A lot of people say Bjeon Robbinson and is the
guy that they're taking over Jamar Chase? I want like,
in an ideal world, I think it is a ten
team league. I'll go up to twelve, but I won't
do more than twelve. I'm in a fourteen and that's
fourteen is a lot. I want to be right in
the middle. That way, I have the same number, you know, between.

(24:18):
It's just I don't know.

Speaker 30 (24:20):
Right, Hey, Tony, tell me you didn't drop your phone
riding down the fairway in a golf cart.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Yet, dude, that's what it sounded like. It really didn't,
because to me, that's exactly what it sounded like.

Speaker 30 (24:33):
So you had to swing back around and pick your
phone up and continue the conversation.

Speaker 4 (24:37):
That's I don't know. I just got to know what happened. Yeah,
and all actuality.

Speaker 6 (24:41):
What I did was, I said, hey, I've got this
check in at like three twenty four. So I teed
off and then I walked while they drove up to
our next shot. And somewhere in that time in which
I was walking, the phone disconnected like that. I told
Tony because I was producing that, and I told him
it sounded like he got car accident or like he

(25:01):
flipped the golf cart into a water hazard.

Speaker 4 (25:04):
Yeah. I literally was just walking down the middle of
the fair one.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Yeah, and then we called him back and the same
thing happened again. So I don't know what it was.
Must have just been that hole.

Speaker 31 (25:13):
Watching that ground all go through Ellie's legs last night
like a toddler was infuriating and comical. And all the
reds Homers in this town want so badly to annoint
anybody that resembles a good player as a superstar.

Speaker 4 (25:23):
When he's not. He's just not.

Speaker 31 (25:25):
He's around fiftieth in every major offensive category besides RBIs
were his twenty first. He's dead last in fielder percent
engineers the last two years.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
But they all want to point to advanced metrics.

Speaker 31 (25:34):
Well, despite those bad defensive stats, he was rated and
above airs a finger last year, so that lets you
know everything he didn't know about the advanced metrics.

Speaker 6 (25:44):
There's also people like you that want to spend everything,
do their whole power to tell people that Ellie's no good.
He's he's not a terrible player. No, he's not an
elite superstar player. He can be really, really good, and
for the most part, he's been really consistent this year.
But he's struggling right now and his defense is taking

(26:05):
a step. I just and that's disappointing. I just wonder
if there's a point where he is now just exhausted. Yeah,
I think that's one day off is incredible. I agree
washing that.

Speaker 29 (26:19):
What up, guys? Not healthy question? If they're paying Trey
Henderson thirty million this year and they franchise him the
next two years to say thirty four to thirty six million, basically,
isn't that a three year contract would like eighty five
million guaranteed?

Speaker 4 (26:40):
So why didn't they just do that?

Speaker 6 (26:42):
Because because if he goes out, Because if he goes
out this year and struggles, they don't have to do
anything with him. Correct, that's the point. The Bengals don't
want to guarantee anything. I mean, if he comes out
the way fifteen or sixteen sacks again, they'll have no
problem paying him again. Well, the thing is the uh,
the franchise tag next year is going to be close
to thirty nine and it would probably if Micah Parsons
goes crazy with his deal, it'll be probably closer to

(27:05):
forty yep. And so if that's the case, the Bengals
are not going to do that. No matter how good
Trey is this year, they're not going to pay him
forty next year And if they, you know, would have
done that deal. Like you're saying, what if Trey gets hurt?
What if he doesn't produce? That's what the Bengals have
been wary of this whole time. They don't want to
be on the hook for that money next year.

Speaker 31 (27:26):
Yeah, my point is that the advancement.

Speaker 4 (27:29):
You got your point. You hate Elie.

Speaker 13 (27:30):
It fellas Steve from West Junior, Austin. You ain't got
no business talking about no relationships. You're one of the
grouchiest version on talk back. We all know why. Oh,
and Ellie needs a two week break with his family.

(27:51):
Is he is exhausted? Fourteen days. We'll see you later weeks.

Speaker 4 (28:01):
You can give the guy about him, Mike.

Speaker 9 (28:05):
Nobody wants to hear you talk about your Dodgers.

Speaker 18 (28:08):
Nobody you call.

Speaker 9 (28:09):
In tells, oh, you really got ahold of the No
one cares, No one gets a fight.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
You know what.

Speaker 22 (28:15):
Second of all, the Dodgers do buy everybody.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
They have the.

Speaker 22 (28:19):
Highest payroll in baseball, if not second highest.

Speaker 32 (28:22):
They do buy everybody.

Speaker 9 (28:24):
Don't sit here and telles they don't.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
We all know they do. The Reds are gonna win
the next two games, and I want to hear you
calling it. Eat your words, bro Man. Can the Reds
win the next two in LA?

Speaker 32 (28:34):
That's always Repper, the Natie out here and some money
hots on. What up, Tonny?

Speaker 10 (28:37):
What up?

Speaker 4 (28:38):
Buddy?

Speaker 10 (28:38):
Yo?

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Bengals getting trade deal done? You had to do what
you gotta do.

Speaker 32 (28:42):
Actually one year deal. Let's see what we got now.
I want to see Shamar Stewart unleashed, unleash the beast.
The Browns don't know what's coming to him. Old man
flat go about to get put on his back. I
can't wait. Rigs Man, real talk. Very disappointed last night,
Zero you put up mill runs Man, We about to

(29:02):
get swept.

Speaker 4 (29:03):
Dare I say?

Speaker 33 (29:06):
Yeah, I'm very relieved that they got the Hendrickson deal done.
But you know, this whole fan base is just really
worried about this Jake Browning. We got to get him
locked up for several years. He's gonna get away.

Speaker 6 (29:20):
Jake Browning and Trey Henderson both on contract expiring contact
something to watch.

Speaker 10 (29:25):
So part of my talkback stick is to reference things
that were talked about a long time ago. Quite a
few weeks ago, you talked about Harry Potter. Yes, that
was the point of my call today, Tony what do
you think about John Moran's twenty five games suspension? Also

(29:47):
shout out to myself. I am nineteen years sober today.

Speaker 4 (29:54):
Nice dude, Wow, good for you. That is freaking awesome.
I have a buddy who just passed seventeen.

Speaker 34 (30:00):
Let's go, Tony, Tony if you need to lift out
to h Hey see, I think that's where they're playing. Initially,
I guess it was going to be at uh Indianapolis.
Then they just put it on the doorstep in casey. Anyway,
