Speaker 1 (01:38):
Crack them up? Wheelburrow? I like that.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
I like that a lot. Well done. Hey guys, Jim
and Milford. I think every NFL team has a sister
team to them. Let's call it like a sister franchise.
For the Bengals, they think it's the Buffalo Bills because
they struggle, like getting too striggling the playoffs getting to
(02:04):
the Super Bowl.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I I root for the Bills. Who is your
sister team?
Speaker 6 (02:12):
M Well, there's two directions I can go here. Like
the sister team of the Cleveland bratt for the longest
time was the Lions.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
It is not that anymore. It is now the Jets.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
But as far as like another NFL team, I root for, uh,
the Bucks because Baker Mayfield plays.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah, I like the Bucks and I like the Lions.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Yeah, I do like the Lions.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
I still like I love golf, I love Campbell, So yeah,
I'm I like the Lions as well.
Speaker 7 (02:39):
Hey, it's me John Cunningham, spin doctor Chad Brindell Here.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
What's up, guys.
Speaker 7 (02:46):
What a huge weekend in the city for sports. The
Scars to night with the Cats versus Cards, Tomorrow with
the Cats versus.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Koog's Sunday with the Bagels.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
And Pats, wrapping it up with FCC versus Barcelona. Oh baby,
submery be called this weekend Brenda delicious weekend not me though.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Sounded like a nineties infomercial.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Unbelievable man, unbelievable man.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
That uston defense, yep, is the bomb. They're good. Question
is Willie Anderson Jr? Is that Willie Anderson's sons from
who played for the Bengals? Just curious Willy Anderson Jr.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
What a beast?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
Two point five sacks, three quarterback hits and three TFLs.
Speaker 9 (03:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
The Bills couldn't find a way to stop the Texans.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
So I bet Josh Allen's hurting this morning because he
got beat up pretty good.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah. I don't think that there's any relation there.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Just receiving where Josh Allen has been sacked yet again again,
Yeah again, in the comfort of his own home.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
Will Anderson still found a way around the blocking. Unbelievable.
Speaker 10 (03:55):
It's the lord. Hey, I was listening to another radio
show the other day and they were not the sports
show hosts wearing nice suits with gym shoes. What is
your take on that? Would you guys ever do that?
I think it's sloppy looking. Find a way Bengals seventeen
(04:15):
Pat ten.
Speaker 6 (04:19):
You really think you're gonna hold the Patriots offense to
ten points.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
I mean, if that's the case, then the season's back
on because the defense is back. Yeah, the defense is
rolling there. Yeah. I suits sneakers with suits. Thought, it's
okay with that. It depends on the sneaker.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Yeah, it depends on the sneaker, and it depends on
the event. Yes, correct. More times than not, I'm going
dress shoes, but I'll throw one in.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
Yeah, I'm I am a dress shoes guy, but I
don't mind people as long as the shoe looks good
with what you're wearing.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
If the shoe fits, wear it correct. Yeah, it is
with a heavy heart, Tony.
Speaker 8 (04:52):
Can I tell you that I've decided to divorce the
Cincinnati redsh No, No, my lawyers already gathered up all
the pain for work.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
I've already signed it. We've sent over to Nick Krawl.
Just got word back. They're gonna get the tires on
it and.
Speaker 11 (05:06):
See, uh if it's something they want to get into
or not.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
Yeah, I mean all time, all time red luck kicking
the tires on it. Oh yeah, well, congratulations or condolences.
I don't know how you feel.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
About it, but either way they'll be back by May
yep out, here's sunny hot Tony.
Speaker 9 (05:23):
This trying to flex the city this weekend. Man, you
see basketball? Can we score twelve points off of free throws?
Play aggressive and give me that one point blowout? At
least you see football. Show some mocks, he plays some defense.
Coach Scatt, don't, don't coach Scare. Throw the kitchen sink out,
get the win by three. FC Cincinnati sitting to go home.
I'm tired of talking that mess It's kind to send
(05:45):
Messy away. And Bengals, dare I say, pull off a shocker.
I think they're gonna win this weekend. So you're saying
kits kitchen sink day, kitchen sink game. Man, All right,
let's throw the sink at him. Does feel like.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It does need to be a kitchen sink game for
SAT I'm good with that.
Speaker 12 (05:59):
He know this is former president Ronald again.
Speaker 13 (06:03):
Wait.
Speaker 12 (06:03):
I don't know about you, but I would feel a
whole lot more comfortable with Joe Burrow playing if we
had an offensive line. Oh oh, and also a defense.
I mean, but what do I know. I'm just a
dead former president.
Speaker 6 (06:20):
I'll give the Bengals O line a little bit of
cit they've gotten better. It does feel like they've improved
week to week. They've played a little better now. Maybe
some of that may have to do with how quickly
Joe Flacout gets rid of the football, but I do
and they've run the ball too, so that points to
me that the offensive line is getting better.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
Ben Tone, welcome back.
Speaker 4 (06:40):
This is my first talkback since you've been back, so
we'll get this here. You talk about WW since Austin
didn't want to talk about it.
Speaker 12 (06:49):
Yep.
Speaker 14 (06:49):
Curious what you think about Survivor Series so far?
Speaker 6 (06:53):
And Drew question for you, how do you think our
Cavs looks so far?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I know we didn't start out the season with the record,
but what do you think you want to go first
with your wax?
Speaker 15 (07:04):
Well?
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, thanks for the talkback. I'm all in on Survivor Series.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I think the.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
Matchups they had are more enticing than the last couple
of pay per views. Obviously, everything around Sena and his
farewell tour has been much watched, but I thought Monday's
Monday Night Raw was the best raw in quite some time.
Hopefully that builds on that for WW.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
As far as the Calves go, you know, they haven't
looked great to start the season, but they're still ten
and six. Darius Garland has not played a lot. Speaking
of athletes with toe injuries, he reinjured his toe that
he had surgery on.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
But here's my thing with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
If you're gonna sit here and tell me that the
only thing that matters to cleave the calves is what
happens in April and May, then you can't freak out
about what's going on in November.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You just can't.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
I'm tired of people who will say, like, well, all
that matters is the playoffs, and then they're freaking out
when they lose a November game to the Houston Rockets.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
So there we go.
Speaker 7 (08:00):
Yes, Hello, Hello, Hello, I'm looking for a horseman, a
horseman out of Louisville.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
If you tell.
Speaker 16 (08:10):
Him the Cencinnati barricat, American Dream is looking for him,
and it's going down.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
It's going down Friday night.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
The American Dream is gonna take you down the American
Dream Dusty Roads.
Speaker 14 (08:31):
Thank you, Tony Hey, you asked what the pathway is.
The Victory of Joe Burrow plays on Sunday. Now this
may be contrary to popular belief. But what if the
Bengals just running up tempo offense basically the whole gamer
as long as they can get that New England defense tired,
break them up, give them something that they're not expecting.
(08:54):
You said, Zach Taylor's kind of got Rabel's number. I
think in up tempo might work. Keeps our defense out
there on the field.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
Marger.
Speaker 14 (09:01):
But but let's see, all.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Right, listen, that would that would call uh, that would
fall under kitchen sink. Everything with the kitchen sink I'm
good with.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
And I just the thing that if you're running up
tempo and you just a couple three outs and you're
you're trotting that defense out in trouble, You're you're in trouble.
Speaker 17 (09:22):
Is DJ DJ? What do we continue to have to learn?
Texans versus Bills good defense, mother's offense? Last year Philadelphia
won because of their defense in the Super Bowl. Kansas
City won multiple championships because of Spagnola and the defense.
And yes, yes, uh Mahomes is good. But the Bengals,
(09:43):
as I've said all along, their team is constructed all wrong.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
The top. Oh, he was gonna make a great point
at the end. I could think it was that was
building up.
Speaker 18 (09:55):
Yeah, today tonight for the Bearcat basketball team, Louisville thinks,
real good they are. I'd be surprised if you see
one stranger things have happened. Yeah, big game tomorrow for
the football team, if if, if they beat b YU,
that's a real nice victory. I think got help sad
(10:18):
Or field A staff.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Seasons back on, season back on.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Yeah, you know, And that's why they That's why they
roll the ball out there. That's why they roll the
ball out there, because anything can happen in college basketball.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
That's especially true, and especially in that building. Also true
because Lord knows, it takes a special, special kind of
person to be able to shoot in that building. That's
why Kobe Brale went like seven for eight a couple
of years ago.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
Tonight at pit Core Stadium, home of the Elder Panthers, Wow,
will be diffused. The Elder Panthers will be defeating the
Saint Xavier Bombers twenty to thirteen.
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Let's go Panthers.
Speaker 6 (10:57):
Good luck seen, we got one, we got one. Unprediction
on the board.
Speaker 13 (11:02):
Elder Tony Greig, Sharonville Creig On Wes Miller A great
showing tonight not necessarily win, but a high effort showing
and a win over Xavier and I'll stay off.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
He's back the rest of the year. Deal. You know
what I hate about this?
Speaker 3 (11:18):
I hate the thought of going to a sporting event
already conceding that the team I root for is gonna
gonna lose. Yeah, I hate that feeling. I want to believe.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
The thing is, though, is that there is like it's
not an impossibility that you see, like can win Whisky,
Like they can go in and win this game for sure,
Like like you said, it's college basketball.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Anything can happen.
Speaker 6 (11:39):
Early season or yeah, early season, Yeah anything can have
you see can win the game tonight.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Now I would give the big edge to Louisville.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
But if I, you know, if I watched the game
tonight and you see walked, I walked out of it
with a win, a win, I wouldn't be shocked and
I wouldn't think any less of Louisville for it.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 15 (11:59):
Hey, guys store in Atlanta, Tony. Yesterday, in your discussion
with Chad Brendle about Scott Soudderfield, I think you were
being rather charitable, but certainly the inference is that Scott
Sudderfield is not very smart, demonstrably dumb, and of course
so is Zach Taylor. And you cannot be competitive in
(12:22):
football with a dumb head coach.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
I'm sorry, be successful with a dumb head coach. I
don't think Scott Sodderfield's dumb.
Speaker 19 (12:33):
So I'm gonna need some more love for the northern
Kentucky high school football. Why do you never do pick'em's? Highlands,
Cove Cat, New Cat. All of those schools have good
shots at winning state and you just totally ignore them because.
Speaker 6 (12:53):
Here's the dirty little secret in ain't Ohio high school football.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Now, now that that's been brought to my attention, I
will keep of what's happening in Kentucky and we'll see
if we can throw them on the list next week.
I think if there's I think there's a path. If
they both win, Cuff Kath and Highlands would play next week,
that would surely make the list.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
I would definitely make the list. Oh yeah, just keep
listening and we'll get there.
Speaker 11 (13:14):
Hey, fella's got my tickets down, going down to pay
court tonight. I went to lasal So Saint Xavier stinks forever.
I will be donning my purple Poncho go Elder.
Speaker 6 (13:25):
So that's two okay, two talkbackers picking the elder tonight.
Speaker 20 (13:31):
Hey guys, Pepa Patti here, So my pick for tonight's
elder versus say next game is sat X go Bombers.
This is in honor of my late nephew, Kyle Swanson.
Here's passaway at the tender age of twenty eight, three
years ago. And Kyle was a proud Saint X grad
(13:52):
from twenty twelve, and he was a swimmer at Saint X,
and he'd be so excited about tonight.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
So for Kyle, I like it.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
My brother went to Elder, and I have a pair
of cousins who went to Saint XT, so it is
a family affair tonight. But I'm court, I'm bleeding purple. Well,
I'll bleed red and black and Heritage Bank.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
That's right. What's up Tony and Drew TJ east Side?
Speaker 16 (14:16):
Wow, those are some grown RS men wearing big boy
pants playing real defense with the Texans last night. Real
pressure on the QB guys, converging on a tackle that
was fun to watch. Meanwhile, our defense is still running
around pampers. Looks like they've got a loaded change out too, and.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
See if ADDIE's beloved Zach.
Speaker 16 (14:33):
Can get this to not be another dumpster fire this weekend.
Let's go cast Let's go Raptors, and let's go FC.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
And throat out there. Josh Allen has just gotten sacked again.
Speaker 21 (14:45):
Gosh Drew and Tonyrew from South bat Boom Friday, bad
joke time. Let's call gotta get something from the bars.
Drunk wife's mad, pissed in there. She says, I'm sick
of you. I've had enough. I packed all your stuff.
I need you to leave right now. And he's like,
I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
She says, I hope you die a slow and miserable death. Bikes.
He says, oh, you must want me to stay. Then
have a great weekend, guys. Oh man, that's unbelievable.
Speaker 14 (15:19):
Hey guys, Marcus from the Grove, Marcus as a Kentucky
Wildcat fan. I ever thought I'd say this, So Tony
soak it in.
Speaker 9 (15:28):
Oh oh.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
You see, Let's go Marcus, Let's go Hel's down Baby,
Let's go Sneaky.
Speaker 6 (15:41):
One of the best rivalries in sports, Kentucky and Louisville.
There is some real, real hatred there.
Speaker 1 (15:47):
Down says Marcus.
Speaker 10 (15:49):
Hell's down lord doing a double dip. So when do
they have to disclose whether Joe Burrow is playing or not?
Speaker 3 (15:57):
He'll be made active and reactive, I believe Saturday by four,
and then what ninety minutes before kickoff would be official?
Speaker 6 (16:06):
Yeah, well, they'd have to put him on the roster tomorrow,
and then if he's on the roster, then it would
be ninety minutes before the start of the game. Would
be when we'll know for sure? All right, last one
unless one comes in at the buzzer, all right, all right.
Speaker 7 (16:21):
Boy.
Speaker 22 (16:22):
Anyway, anyways, Tony, Tony, Tonny, how come you're not talking
about Mary and a local.
Speaker 1 (16:27):
Let's talk about this dominant.
Speaker 22 (16:29):
High school football team in the state of Ohio in
the last thirty years. They should be front and center.
We should be breaking down their whole organization. Maybe they
someone from that school could help in the Bengals front office.
It seems to me that they know how to develop talent.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
So we discussed this.
Speaker 6 (16:51):
We almost put this on the pick him segment because
I was on today as the D seven football connoisseur
of Ohio high school football. Tonight, Saint Henry versus maryon Local.
This is huge. This is the D seven state championship game.
I think whoever wins this game is going on to
cut down the nets. Mary Local has won a billion
(17:11):
games in a row. Saint Henry took him to the
wise played this year in the regular season.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Tony, who you got.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
I'm going with history. I'm going with Mary going Maryon Local.
I'm gonna say the streak ends. No way, give me
Saint Henry over Maryon Local. Tonight in Wallpak whoa in Wallpawk.
I'm gonna take Saint Henry over Mariyon Local.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I believe it's seventy six consecutive victories.
Speaker 6 (17:38):
Yep, last over one of those over my beloved Layman
Catholic Cavaliers didn't quite have the offense going Sydney.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Layman also came down to Veterans Memorial Stadium and took
a beating once before. Maybe that was in basketball, basketball
or football. Either way it beat down.
Speaker 6 (17:54):
That feels more likely that it was basketball as opposed
to football that way way back in the day, though.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Either way it was a beat down. It was all right.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
We got to come back. We got another football in
the Natti. We got a couple of segments here and
Tom Galata will kick off the shortened third and final
hour at two o'clock. Also, we'll open up the phone
lines again if you want to call in five, one, three, seven,
four nine, fifteen thirty The Friday Football Frenzy on ESPN
