Fifteen thirty l Loweker broadcasting from the Cincinnati Open here

in a row, the seventh year that this event has
taken place, the seventh year in a row that we
will have broadcasts from it. The Anthony Munhales Foundation Top
(00:21):
Golf Tailgate. It is the official kickoff of the NFL season.
It's Thursday, September the fifth. It's at Top Golf in Westchester.
It benefits the great work done by the Anthony Munhals Foundation.
It gives us a chance to spend some time with
a lot of former Bengals players. It is an awesome event,
and it gives me a chance to spend some time
with Anthony Munho's. The only drawback to being here today
(00:43):
is I'm not in studio with Anthony.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But nonetheless, it's awesome to have you. What's going on?
Speaker 3 (00:47):
Hey, Mo, thanks for mentioning as we got our wires cross.
You're in Mason, my hometown, and I'm in Keinwood, your studio,
But that works out if.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
You want, I'll just drive to your house when I'm
done and I'll wait for you do it.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It's done deal.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Hey, yeah, good being with you and yeah this I
know you're enjoying going to enjoy some tennis up there.
But our event, the Top Golf is is always great.
Of course you'll be there as you always are doing
your show from three to six.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
You know, seventh year, that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
It's hard to believe that we're seven years at Top
Golf and you know, you can't do things like this
without your partners, and of course the Ventura Premier Event
Center Norwood has been our partner. You mentioned two eas
you know it's gonna be Thursday, September fifth, from six
to nine at Top Golf in Westchester.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
We're excited to have it again. It's always fun.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
You know, you're playing a little golf, but you're so
much closer together. You know, you're there with the bays
and you know people are enjoying food and drinks and
you know your talk show and we have some great raffles.
Speaker 4 (01:49):
But uh, yeah, we're excited about it. We're excited about it. Then.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
Good to be back to Top Golf in Westchester for
year number seven.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, and it coincides.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
You know what I love about it is you can play,
you could socialize the game. The first NFL game of
the season is going to be on that night, which
obviously we'll I'll be paying attention to Baltimore in Kansas City,
but it's also an event. I love it when events start,
and you guys began this seven years ago, but it's
gotten bigger every year.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
It really has.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
And you know, the thing we do with the Foundation,
everything from you know, our dinner, whatever event, we have
a time frame and we want to stick within that timeframe.
We know people are very busy, and I know if
people want to stay afterwards, they'll stay afterwards.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
But man, I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We've had partners that have been there throughout the entire time.
We have new partners that come and they're part of it.
But yeah, you're right, a lot of interest in that game,
the Chiefs and the Ravens. Of course, you know we
play the Chiefs early on, you know, go to Kansas City,
so we'd like to see what they got. And but
you're right, I mean, it's an amazing event we have.
(02:54):
I think we only have two or three bays left.
They're going for a thousand dollars. You get dinner, drinks,
the food there is amazing. I get some of my
former teammates to come by, and you know, a lot
of them like to play golf, so sometimes we'll you know,
convince them to go around and hit a few balls.
But you know, well, the great thing about this, you know,
we talk about the fun, we talk about your show
(03:16):
and about the guys and golf and drink, but the
fact that we've been able to raise nearly three hundred
and fifty thousand dollars since twenty seventeen on this event alone.
Speaker 4 (03:28):
That's not any other event, but this event alone.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
And you know Pete Ventura and you know the Ventura
family and the Ventura I mean, they give us an
opportunity to do this. And you know, if we were
to kind of look at that amount of money and
see what we could do at the foundation, and that
would be enough for seventeen scholarships, that would be enough
for four hundred kids to go to our overnight camps,
(03:52):
that would be a thousands of students that attend our
youth leadership seminar.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And you know, it's a fun thing.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
And I got to add this last thing is, you know,
one of the things that we really take seriously is
the amount of money that we're able to give back
to the kids after raising money and having fundraisers is
ninety five percent of every dollar goes back to the
impact programs and we get to impact young people. So
we thank everyone, from our partners to those that are
(04:20):
going to come out and enjoy it, to you know
yourself that comes out and does your show. There.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I say this to you every year. What I what
I marvel at? What?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What's so cool about the longevity that you guys have
achieved is number one? I know if anyone does anything
with the Anthony Munnos Foundation, if they play in this event,
it's very easy to see where the money goes, right,
It's it's tangible.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You could see it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You could we could tell the stories of so many
of the kids that you've impacted. But you guys have
now been at it for so long that you have
these adult success stories, right, you have. You have people
whose lives have been altered and they're often running and
doing their own thing because of the jumpstart you've given them,
or the boost you've given them, or the encouragement that
you've given them, or a lesson they've been taught by
(05:06):
some of your character education initiatives, and that to me,
those things, to me, are there really awesome things about
fundraisers and the overall work that you guys do well.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I mean, that's a great point, and that's a fun
thing for me, you know, as I get older. Now,
at first I referred to myself as an uncle of
these young men and women that are going through our programs.
Now I'm more of their grandfather as they go through
these programs. But you know, you talk about the individuals
that come back and give back, and when you've been
around for twenty three years and you've had the opportunity
(05:38):
through our programming to impact you know, well over fifty
seven thousand young men and women when you work with
at least twenty five hundred tri state area per year,
and when you have well over just one of our
eight programs is a scholarship fund. When you have over
two million dollars that young men and women have been
(05:58):
awarded in scholarships, that's what's fun is to see these
young men and women come back. They volunteer at our dinner,
they become some of our mentors in our mentoring program,
they become some of the coaches in our Overnight Character
camps that they attended when they were eighth grade. Now
they're coaching as business. They're working in business here in
this great city of Cincinnati. So to me, it's fun
(06:21):
seeing these guys directing these young men at camp and
at one time I saw them as the campers, as
eighth graders are being able to travel to New York
and you know, staying. I went in twenty twenty, I
went to do Boomer Sizing show and Sam Becker, a
scholarship kid, was like two blocks from us.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
He works with a big hedge fund.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We took him out to dinner one night and he
you know, and had a chance to talk to him
after he got the scholarship, after he graduated high school.
Now he's been successful, having a successful career in New York.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
So that's what it's all about. And that's what we
love to see.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
For folks who are listening and they go, wait a minute,
this is an event. I've heard about it and I
want to be involved. And you said, there's a couple
of bays left. How can folks get one of.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Those Munyosfoundation dot org top golf tailgate. You can go
on there and you can find out all the information.
Not only you know, hopefully we get this sold out,
we have think two or three bays left, but you
also can see all the eight programs that we run.
And if it's a little too late, hopefully not to
(07:27):
get not too late to get involved in the Top
Golf Tailgate. Maybe you can get involved in our regular
golf tournament, or be a mentor in our mentoring program,
or just be a volunteer for our leadership seminar. There's
a lot of ways that you can give back, and
we welcome all volunteers, we welcome all donors. My tagline
from the beginning was always the bigger the team, the
(07:48):
bigger the impact, and we continue to build a team,
collaborate and continue to impact more and more young people
in this great community. So but Munhos Foundation dot org.
You can check it out and Top Golf Tailgate Westchester
September fifth, sixth to nine o'clock and we'll have a
pretty good talk show host there sports talk show hosts
(08:08):
from three to six.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh, I think his name is Who's.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Who's filling in for me? It is?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It is no in all seriousness, it's it's one of
my favorite shows to do. And and you're always so generous,
and so many of your former teammates are generous with
their time.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And you know, the event itself starts at.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Six, We go on the air at three, and yet
for some reason, people show up early to do our show,
which always means a lot to me.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Munosfoundation dot org, slash top golf Dash tailgate and you
can learn more about the event. You can get one
of the few remaining bays, and while you're there you
could take a look at some of the initiatives and
and a lot of the work that the folks at
the Anthony Munhos Foundation do. A couple of other questions
for you, Yes, so number one, I mean, like, do
(08:54):
you have any reps in you? Because, like the the
news like is not getting any better when it comes
to like the right tackle in the offensive line. And
so I didn't want to have to ask you if
maybe you had any reps left in you. But I'm
kind of getting there.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, you know, there's a lot of guys I talk
to and they lack self awareness. I have amazing self awareness.
There is no way then I even think about not
even a one rep.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
One rep.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I'd have to be surrounded by two or three EMTs
and it would be ugly, but no, it's it's amazing.
You know, you hate to see injuries. It's part of it.
I mean, regardless if you go shorts and T shirts
or full pads.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's part of the game.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And my wife and I are always talking constantly watch footballs.
That's the one thing we do not like that injuries
have to occur. But you know, now, the only problem
is get these guys healthy. I like, what's going on
with this Bengals football team. I've been to camp several times.
You know, at times it's tough to really evaluate because
you know, there's not a whole lot of physical hitting
(09:56):
going on, and it's kind of hard to evaluate, you know,
guys running around in helmet and shorts. But we saw
some of it this past week against the Buccaneers. We'll
be able to see some more against Chicago Saturday, and
then we go from there and hopefully the starters will
had enough reps even with that final preseason game. Who
knows if they'll get any reps. The good thing is
(10:16):
they're practicing against their you know, I heard I heard
the report, and I guess there's a little sloppy up
there with the Bengals. Hopefully next week when they practice
against the Colts, that'll be a lot nicer in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And they'll be able to get more done and won't
be raining.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
But I think that helps out a lot because anytime
you're practicing against another football team, you're gonna go a
little faster than when you're practicing against your own guys,
and you're gonna be able to see things that you
won't see in practice, because regardless, you can be full
pads going full speed against your own guys, but it's
not the same as going against another team. And so
(10:51):
hopefully you know that opening week rolls around, we're ready
to go, not only with what we've seen on the
field with the starters, with injury wise, hopefully they're healed
up and we're at full force ready to go, because
I'm excited about what this team can do this year.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, you and me both.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You mentioned the injuries, and you had the game on Saturday,
and Amarius Mims held up very very well, and he's
I don't know if you've had a chance to spend
any time with him, but he's been the talk of
camp and I hate that he's dealing with an injury
for a lot of different reasons, but certainly what we
saw from him on the field felt like it was
inching him closer to being the starter week one, which
(11:28):
is is awesome and to me it's reflective of a
guy who just watching it from afar seems to get it.
He's got obviously the frame which is immense, and he's
got all the physical tools, but it just feels like
he gets it, which is really cool.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And to me it would have been neat to see.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Him get rewarded for that by winning the starting job,
and now the injury situation is likely to rail that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I agree with that. You know, I went to several
camps and watched him closely. Of course I haven't played
that position myself, and a lot of things that impress
me about Mems and quite frankly, you know, only eight
starts in college, that's not a lot of experience. But
he came in and you could tell he enjoys the game.
He listens to the coaches and he does what they
ask him to do. And the things he was doing,
(12:15):
I was so impressed, you know, for being such a
big man, you know, six eight three forty somewhere on
that I don't know he's big. Let's just say he's
big to be able to move the way he does.
But you know, Lapp and I were talking and there's
a lot of things that impressed us about him. But
the one thing we both said that impressed both of us,
(12:36):
and it's rare for rookie offensive linement is a tough
thing for really alignment, regardless to what you're you in,
is his patience. He would set with that long kick,
he would get out there. Technically, he was pretty good
getting out there, but he didn't want to initiate. He
waited for the defender to get there, and then he
initiated the contact when the guy got there. And to me,
(12:57):
that speaks volumes of a young man that is very patient. Uh,
and he was. He had an ext I thought he
had an excellent game. I watched him quite a bit
in that preseason game. The time he was in there
again he held up. I thought he did well. And
somebody asked me, if you know, would I would I
feel good with him starting week one? I said, from
what I've seen now, yes I would. I would not
(13:18):
mind him starting week one. But hopefully that that peck injury,
we know it's non surgical. Hopefully it doesn't take that
long and he can get back to one hundred percent
because that's one position, that offensive line that we need everybody.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We need everyone, and we need the depth.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And uh so, you know they were off I thought
to a good start for as much as I could
see in the practices in that one drive, they look
pretty good against Tampa Bay. But uh yeah, I have
been really impressed with that young man. And he's locked in.
I watch him when they're when they're doing drills and
when he's being coached, and he's locked in and he's
listening to what Frank Pollock, coach, Frank Pollack is saying,
(13:56):
and I guess a couple of other guys, as usually happens,
will give him feedback. Is veteran offensive line, and to me,
that speaks volume of that unit and what they're capable
of doing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Anthony Munho's with us for another few minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You get company in the Ring of Honor in two
former Bengals Corey Dylan obviously a player who's time in
Cincinnati as a player came after you had retired, But
one of your teammates, Tim Krumrae, take me back summer
of nineteen eighty three and this tenth round draft.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Choice shows up to Wilmington. What do you remember about that?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
For the interior part of our offensive line, he was
kind of a nightmare, you know, because he came in
as a tenth round pick, and you know, the word
was he wasn't big enough, he wouldn't fast enough. But
you know, there's a lot of times where you can't
measure heart, You can't measure you know, your will to
be the best and your will to work hard every
single down. And what we learned in a hurry. It
(14:52):
didn't matter if we were in full pads, which we
were in full pads most of the time, or helmets
and T shirts. You every play that Tim Crumrae was
in there was full speed.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
So you better be ready, you better be ready.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And uh so the guy, you know, I know we
had a number one pick that year as an offensive center,
and uh you know, Tim Crumbrae made it a point
to let everyone know that, you know, he should have
been a much higher draft pick than the tenth round.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And I'll never forget.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We're going to Dallas and Tom Rafferty, I believe, was
the Cowboys center and they were pretty good football team
at the time, and he was quoted. You hate to
have billboard material, but he was quoted. They asked him
about Tim Crumbray, and Rafferty's response was, yeah, I think
it's like Crumby, Crumby, Crumb Crommers.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He did.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
He kind of gave three or four different names, and
none of them was Crumbrot. Well, after we played Dallas
that Sunday, Tom Rafferty knew who Tim Crumbrae was and
I'm sure he probably dreamed had nightmares about him the
night after the game.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But yeah, he was just amazing. I'll tell you what to.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Suffer that crazy broken leg in the Super Bowl, and
you know it was played over and over and over,
and for those of us that were there, it was crazy.
A lot of people don't realize he sat, or he
laid in the gurney by the locker room. He said,
don't take me to the hospital until halftime. I want
to see the rest of the half. I can't imagine
how much pain or probably didn't even affect him, knowing
(16:20):
Tim prumright. But finally I think at halftime they took
him to the hospital and I think he came back
like a year and a half after that and played
pretty well after that. But man, for I think thirteen
years he played here, and for a nose tackle, think
about it, for a nose tackle to have that many
tackles in a career is just insane. I mean the guy.
(16:41):
I loved his intensity, I loved his approach to the game.
And I mean my first four years we played for
Forrest greg.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And that's how the game was played.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
So you know, to have a guy from Wisconsin come
in and take over that middle spot for many, many years,
I'm thankful to have him now in the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Pick number two hundred and seventy six in the nineteen
eighty three NFL Draft. Inducted into the Bengals Ring of Honor.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I say this to you every year. What I what
I marvel at? What?
Speaker 1 (04:29):
What's so cool about the longevity that you guys have
achieved is number one? I know if anyone does anything
with the Anthony Munnos Foundation, if they play in this event,
it's very easy to see where the money goes, right,
It's it's tangible.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
You could see it.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
You could we could tell the stories of so many
of the kids that you've impacted. But you guys have
now been at it for so long that you have
these adult success stories, right, you have. You have people
whose lives have been altered and they're often running and
doing their own thing because of the jumpstart you've given them,
or the boost you've given them, or the encouragement that
you've given them, or a lesson they've been taught by
(05:06):
some of your character education initiatives, and that to me,
those things, to me, are there really awesome things about
fundraisers and the overall work that you guys do well.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I mean, that's a great point, and that's a fun
thing for me, you know, as I get older. Now,
at first I referred to myself as an uncle of
these young men and women that are going through our programs.
Now I'm more of their grandfather as they go through
these programs. But you know, you talk about the individuals
that come back and give back, and when you've been
around for twenty three years and you've had the opportunity
(05:38):
through our programming to impact you know, well over fifty
seven thousand young men and women when you work with
at least twenty five hundred tri state area per year,
and when you have well over just one of our
eight programs is a scholarship fund. When you have over
two million dollars that young men and women have been
(05:58):
awarded in scholarships, that's what's fun is to see these
young men and women come back. They volunteer at our dinner,
they become some of our mentors in our mentoring program,
they become some of the coaches in our Overnight Character
camps that they attended when they were eighth grade. Now
they're coaching as business. They're working in business here in
this great city of Cincinnati. So to me, it's fun
(06:21):
seeing these guys directing these young men at camp and
at one time I saw them as the campers, as
eighth graders are being able to travel to New York
and you know, staying. I went in twenty twenty, I
went to do Boomer Sizing show and Sam Becker, a
scholarship kid, was like two blocks from us.
Speaker 4 (06:39):
He works with a big hedge fund.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
We took him out to dinner one night and he
you know, and had a chance to talk to him
after he got the scholarship, after he graduated high school.
Now he's been successful, having a successful career in New York.
Speaker 4 (06:50):
So that's what it's all about. And that's what we
love to see.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
For folks who are listening and they go, wait a minute,
this is an event. I've heard about it and I
want to be involved. And you said, there's a couple
of bays left. How can folks get one of.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Those Munyosfoundation dot org top golf tailgate. You can go
on there and you can find out all the information.
Not only you know, hopefully we get this sold out,
we have think two or three bays left, but you
also can see all the eight programs that we run.
And if it's a little too late, hopefully not to
(07:27):
get not too late to get involved in the Top
Golf Tailgate. Maybe you can get involved in our regular
golf tournament, or be a mentor in our mentoring program,
or just be a volunteer for our leadership seminar. There's
a lot of ways that you can give back, and
we welcome all volunteers, we welcome all donors. My tagline
from the beginning was always the bigger the team, the
(07:48):
bigger the impact, and we continue to build a team,
collaborate and continue to impact more and more young people
in this great community. So but Munhos Foundation dot org.
You can check it out and Top Golf Tailgate Westchester
September fifth, sixth to nine o'clock and we'll have a
pretty good talk show host there sports talk show hosts
(08:08):
from three to six.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
Oh, I think his name is Who's.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Who's filling in for me? It is?
Speaker 1 (08:15):
It is no in all seriousness, it's it's one of
my favorite shows to do. And and you're always so generous,
and so many of your former teammates are generous with
their time.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
And you know, the event itself starts at.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Six, We go on the air at three, and yet
for some reason, people show up early to do our show,
which always means a lot to me.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Again.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
Munosfoundation dot org, slash top golf Dash tailgate and you
can learn more about the event. You can get one
of the few remaining bays, and while you're there you
could take a look at some of the initiatives and
and a lot of the work that the folks at
the Anthony Munhos Foundation do. A couple of other questions
for you, Yes, so number one, I mean, like, do
(08:54):
you have any reps in you? Because, like the the
news like is not getting any better when it comes
to like the right tackle in the offensive line. And
so I didn't want to have to ask you if
maybe you had any reps left in you. But I'm
kind of getting there.
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Well, you know, there's a lot of guys I talk
to and they lack self awareness. I have amazing self awareness.
There is no way then I even think about not
even a one rep.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
One rep.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
I'd have to be surrounded by two or three EMTs
and it would be ugly, but no, it's it's amazing.
You know, you hate to see injuries. It's part of it.
I mean, regardless if you go shorts and T shirts
or full pads.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
It's part of the game.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
And my wife and I are always talking constantly watch footballs.
That's the one thing we do not like that injuries
have to occur. But you know, now, the only problem
is get these guys healthy. I like, what's going on
with this Bengals football team. I've been to camp several times.
You know, at times it's tough to really evaluate because
you know, there's not a whole lot of physical hitting
(09:56):
going on, and it's kind of hard to evaluate, you know,
guys running around in helmet and shorts. But we saw
some of it this past week against the Buccaneers. We'll
be able to see some more against Chicago Saturday, and
then we go from there and hopefully the starters will
had enough reps even with that final preseason game. Who
knows if they'll get any reps. The good thing is
(10:16):
they're practicing against their you know, I heard I heard
the report, and I guess there's a little sloppy up
there with the Bengals. Hopefully next week when they practice
against the Colts, that'll be a lot nicer in Cincinnati.
Speaker 4 (10:28):
And they'll be able to get more done and won't
be raining.
Speaker 3 (10:31):
But I think that helps out a lot because anytime
you're practicing against another football team, you're gonna go a
little faster than when you're practicing against your own guys,
and you're gonna be able to see things that you
won't see in practice, because regardless, you can be full
pads going full speed against your own guys, but it's
not the same as going against another team. And so
(10:51):
hopefully you know that opening week rolls around, we're ready
to go, not only with what we've seen on the
field with the starters, with injury wise, hopefully they're healed
up and we're at full force ready to go, because
I'm excited about what this team can do this year.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, you and me both.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You mentioned the injuries, and you had the game on Saturday,
and Amarius Mims held up very very well, and he's
I don't know if you've had a chance to spend
any time with him, but he's been the talk of
camp and I hate that he's dealing with an injury
for a lot of different reasons, but certainly what we
saw from him on the field felt like it was
inching him closer to being the starter week one, which
(11:28):
is is awesome and to me it's reflective of a
guy who just watching it from afar seems to get it.
He's got obviously the frame which is immense, and he's
got all the physical tools, but it just feels like
he gets it, which is really cool.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
And to me it would have been neat to see.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Him get rewarded for that by winning the starting job,
and now the injury situation is likely to rail that.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
I agree with that. You know, I went to several
camps and watched him closely. Of course I haven't played
that position myself, and a lot of things that impress
me about Mems and quite frankly, you know, only eight
starts in college, that's not a lot of experience. But
he came in and you could tell he enjoys the game.
He listens to the coaches and he does what they
ask him to do. And the things he was doing,
(12:15):
I was so impressed, you know, for being such a
big man, you know, six eight three forty somewhere on
that I don't know he's big. Let's just say he's
big to be able to move the way he does.
But you know, Lapp and I were talking and there's
a lot of things that impressed us about him. But
the one thing we both said that impressed both of us,
(12:36):
and it's rare for rookie offensive linement is a tough
thing for really alignment, regardless to what you're you in,
is his patience. He would set with that long kick,
he would get out there. Technically, he was pretty good
getting out there, but he didn't want to initiate. He
waited for the defender to get there, and then he
initiated the contact when the guy got there. And to me,
(12:57):
that speaks volumes of a young man that is very patient. Uh,
and he was. He had an ext I thought he
had an excellent game. I watched him quite a bit
in that preseason game. The time he was in there
again he held up. I thought he did well. And
somebody asked me, if you know, would I would I
feel good with him starting week one? I said, from
what I've seen now, yes I would. I would not
(13:18):
mind him starting week one. But hopefully that that peck injury,
we know it's non surgical. Hopefully it doesn't take that
long and he can get back to one hundred percent
because that's one position, that offensive line that we need everybody.
Speaker 4 (13:31):
We need everyone, and we need the depth.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
And uh so, you know they were off I thought
to a good start for as much as I could
see in the practices in that one drive, they look
pretty good against Tampa Bay. But uh yeah, I have
been really impressed with that young man. And he's locked in.
I watch him when they're when they're doing drills and
when he's being coached, and he's locked in and he's
listening to what Frank Pollock, coach, Frank Pollack is saying,
(13:56):
and I guess a couple of other guys, as usually happens,
will give him feedback. Is veteran offensive line, and to me,
that speaks volume of that unit and what they're capable
of doing.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Anthony Munho's with us for another few minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
You get company in the Ring of Honor in two
former Bengals Corey Dylan obviously a player who's time in
Cincinnati as a player came after you had retired, But
one of your teammates, Tim Krumrae, take me back summer
of nineteen eighty three and this tenth round draft.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Choice shows up to Wilmington. What do you remember about that?
Speaker 3 (14:30):
For the interior part of our offensive line, he was
kind of a nightmare, you know, because he came in
as a tenth round pick, and you know, the word
was he wasn't big enough, he wouldn't fast enough. But
you know, there's a lot of times where you can't
measure heart, You can't measure you know, your will to
be the best and your will to work hard every
single down. And what we learned in a hurry. It
(14:52):
didn't matter if we were in full pads, which we
were in full pads most of the time, or helmets
and T shirts. You every play that Tim Crumrae was
in there was full speed.
Speaker 4 (15:02):
So you better be ready, you better be ready.
Speaker 3 (15:04):
And uh so the guy, you know, I know we
had a number one pick that year as an offensive center,
and uh you know, Tim Crumbrae made it a point
to let everyone know that, you know, he should have
been a much higher draft pick than the tenth round.
Speaker 4 (15:18):
And I'll never forget.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We're going to Dallas and Tom Rafferty, I believe, was
the Cowboys center and they were pretty good football team
at the time, and he was quoted. You hate to
have billboard material, but he was quoted. They asked him
about Tim Crumbray, and Rafferty's response was, yeah, I think
it's like Crumby, Crumby, Crumb Crommers.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
He did.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
He kind of gave three or four different names, and
none of them was Crumbrot. Well, after we played Dallas
that Sunday, Tom Rafferty knew who Tim Crumbrae was and
I'm sure he probably dreamed had nightmares about him the
night after the game.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
But yeah, he was just amazing. I'll tell you what to.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Suffer that crazy broken leg in the Super Bowl, and
you know it was played over and over and over,
and for those of us that were there, it was crazy.
A lot of people don't realize he sat, or he
laid in the gurney by the locker room. He said,
don't take me to the hospital until halftime. I want
to see the rest of the half. I can't imagine
how much pain or probably didn't even affect him, knowing
(16:20):
Tim prumright. But finally I think at halftime they took
him to the hospital and I think he came back
like a year and a half after that and played
pretty well after that. But man, for I think thirteen
years he played here, and for a nose tackle, think
about it, for a nose tackle to have that many
tackles in a career is just insane. I mean the guy.
(16:41):
I loved his intensity, I loved his approach to the game.
And I mean my first four years we played for
Forrest greg.
Speaker 4 (16:48):
And that's how the game was played.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
So you know, to have a guy from Wisconsin come
in and take over that middle spot for many, many years,
I'm thankful to have him now in the Ring of Honor.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Pick number two hundred and seventy six in the nineteen
eighty three NFL Draft. Inducted into the Bengals Ring of Honor.
