Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's that time for talkbacks. Press the microphone and record
(00:04):
your message for Austin and tone, please keep it clean
and don't be mean. And a sprinkle sprinkle, drip drifts.
It's that time for talkbacks. It's our favorite part since
three sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, Austin, buddy, play those.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Talkbacks on your screen and please try not to sabotage.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
Welcome back in to Tony Pikes since he three to sixty.
I'm Austin Elmore, big fella out sick today. Hopefully he
is back tomorrow. We've got a light batch of talkbacks
to get to.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
But that's all right. Let's get started.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Can we get Brian Flores or Advance Joseph here to.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Be a head coach? Love that, you know.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I'm not sure about the Brian Flores thing because I
know he has ongoing litigation with the NFL about a
hiring issue previously that I want to say was involved
with the Giants or something, and the stuff that happened
with the Dolphins. I don't know exactly, so I don't
know about his his I don't know. I don't know
(01:08):
if that has an effect on anything. Vance Joseph, who
used to be a coach here and is the defensive
coordinator for the Denver Broncos. I think he would be
one of the top candidates when you look at the
way the Bengals do things and the familiarity and all that.
I think Vance Joseph would be one of those top candidates.
Don't know if that's a good thing, but yeah, it's
(01:30):
the Lord.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
I was reading that Lamar Jackson has another injury. It's
his toe. That's that he that he ea't that asting
any truth to this.
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Yeah, we talked about it earlier today, but just about
two minutes ago, the Ravens practice began and Lamar Jackson
ran out there helmet on and is practicing. So didn't
practice yesterday. He is out there in uniform for practice
a day for the Ravens.
Speaker 5 (02:02):
So the season is pretty much over. We know that
anything after this probably just leads to heartache. But I'm
of a mind that until you are officially mathematically eliminated,
you give it all you got, You try everything, and
you play the man. But as soon as you're eliminated,
shutting down. It's too valuable, too much of a risk
for nothing to play for.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Okay, I get it.
Speaker 6 (02:26):
Thoughts on Joe Burrow playing tomorrow night.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Okay, thank you, hey boys. Hey, I may be full
of opium.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
Yeah, I know, I'm the optimistic guy. But as far
as I can see, the Bengals have their destiny in
their hands and they control their playoff outcomes. Assume they
win the next six, we only need six losses between
the Buffalo or between Baltimore and Pittsburgh. They play each
(03:16):
other twice, plus we would have beaten the Ravens twice
and neither of those teams are.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Going to win out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
I mean, when you think about it, Baltimore plays Pittsburgh twice.
As you mentioned, Baltimore has to go to Green Bay,
and they play New England. It's not crazy to think
that they lose a couple of those games. The Steelers
obviously played Baltimore twice, they play Buffalo, and they play
at Detroit. It's not crazy to think that if the
(03:47):
Bengals were to go on a run similar to what
they've done the last two years, that they could be
right there in the conversation at nine to eight, let's say,
and that'd be enough to win the AFC North just
based off the schedule of the other teams. Obviously, the
Bengals have to take care of their own business. But
I don't think it's It's insane to think so. And
the main reason I feel that way is if you
(04:09):
look at the defense the last two weeks, and I
know it is a very small sample size and it's
not against the two best offenses in the NFL. However,
if the Bengals defense can force a turnover a game
and or get three stops, like you feel confident that
you have a chance, you at least give yourself a chance,
(04:31):
and that I think would be, if nothing else interesting.
Speaker 8 (04:36):
Hey, Addie Joe from Casey here what I love when
you get the chance to host. I totally agree with
you about Burrow. If he's healthy, he should play. In
addition to everything you mentioned, I just want to say,
you know, when you would get into like load management stuff, right,
I mean, in the end, it's the entertainment business. They're
there to entertain. People are spending money to buy tickets.
(04:58):
They're not spending money to watch healthy Joe Burrow sit
on the bench.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Yeah, that's a good point. Now, let's say Thursday happens.
Let's say the Bengals get blown out. Let's say it's
thirty seven to ten in the fourth quarter. Oh, Joe
Burrow doesn't need to be playing in that situation. Like
then you could go back to Flacco, go back to
Jake Browning somebody else there there you there is a
balance that has to be struck by Zach Taylor.
Speaker 9 (05:22):
Here, my golly, if we played a drinking game for
every time then I heard the word compromised in between
the Monday Midday Quarterback and the Tony Inmo Football Show,
I'd have been on the floor by about four thirty
how many times I heard that. But anyways, final thought
here Walker from the West Side. If Flacco was that compromised,
(05:45):
wouldn't we rather have Joe Burrow compromise if it was
seventy five percent versus seventy five percent? Last thought, We're
on to Thursday.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah, that's the argument that I made last week going
into the New England game.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
What's up body, tj Burrow in or Burrow out? Like
whatever the hell gets rid of Tobin and Taylor. He's
an ocat best, not a head coach. Marvin went over
seven to plass and Brown kept him on for years.
Marvin turned into a smug Belichick wanted because he knew
he was safe. Dave Shuler went eleven thirty for thirty seven.
Let me repeat, eleven for thirty seven in his first
three years. Brown offered him a contract extension. Price is right,
(06:20):
Bob Zach stinks, Coven sucks. Mike makes me want to hurl.
But go Burrow, go Bangles, who dah get better?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Tony there you go. I mean that's how he feels.
Speaker 10 (06:29):
So the one hundred talented BYU fans and had a
knack for recruiting, AKA would be in the parking lot
at the UC game trying to convert UC fans to
BYU fans because they Mormons go door to door trying
(06:50):
to convert people and they have a knack for recruiting.
Speaker 11 (06:55):
Oh never mind, Oh okay, in the city out here,
Sonny hots On or what up? See you riding the
ship solo to day? That's okay to show it's still
on point and fire us always. The Cats won last night,
I mean a good rebound win. The win is a win,
but you know, I want to see them set up
these shots a little bit better. They just run down
(07:16):
the quarter and shoot up two many threes. I'm starting
not to like that. You know what the return of
JB nine. I'm feeling it. I was against it, but
now I love it. The heart of a competitor. That's
a true beast of a quarterback. We got go get them,
all right, Thank you one time for a double loh
for the keys to victory for Thursday night. First of all,
we have to run the ball consistently and stay with
(07:37):
the run, especially if it's working. Second, Burrow, can you
manage the offensive line correctly? I mean, I know this
is your first game back, but can you pick up
the rhythm that you had? Chase is gonna be double
and bracketed, so I'm looking for Fan Gooseki to step
up and on defense contain Lamar. Don't let him rush
out the pocket. Figure way to apply pressure and wrap
(07:58):
up and tackle.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
There you go the top three things that Jamar Chase
did last weekend instead of playing football. Attended sensitivity and
conflict resolution classes at Madam Beefee's School of Etiquette.
Speaker 10 (08:14):
Active as a judge at Cheeks Gentlemen's Club for.
Speaker 12 (08:17):
The Itty Bitty Gritty Committee. Met with architects and designers
for plans on his new sports club.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Lougis all right, we'll talk a little bit about Jamar.
Later he did issue an apology of sorts. Hooday Tom
Turkey chiming in.
Speaker 13 (08:41):
Yeah. With regards to the Ohio State game, I think
Ohio State is gonna win by two or more scores.
I don't care that they lost four in a row
or whatever it is. At one point, Ohio State won
seventeen of eighteen or something like that just before the
four game losing streak, so.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
You know, it's cyclical. I expect him to fully dominate
this game.
Speaker 13 (09:01):
And you know, the game, it kind of feels like
it's lost.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
It's lost there a little bit.
Speaker 13 (09:05):
I mean, Ohio State lost it last year and still
won the.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
National title, so you know whatever.
Speaker 13 (09:09):
From regards to the Bengals and Ravens, you know.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Whatever, Okay, thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
I think the Ohio State Michigan game is just it's
all mental on the Ohio State side, and I think
part of it like from the Michigan side as well.
And I think Joe Daneman was right, like Michigan does
not fear Ohio State and that's really the only team
they face all year that feels that way, and sometimes
that can make you clinch up a little bit in
(09:34):
certain parts of your body. And I think there is
a mental block with Michigan for Ohio State and until
they get past it, I don't know. Hopefully last year
and everything that happened afterwards is enough to kind of
carry through that and then be the release.
Speaker 1 (09:51):
Well, the last time I tuned in and Audie started
the show and said that Tony wasn't here, we heard
the terrible news that he had been led.
Speaker 14 (09:59):
Go.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Fortunately, Tony's just sick, yay, of course, I'm just getting
get well soon, Tony, Tony.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Austin, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (10:10):
My man Lean and trunk Hart.
Speaker 12 (10:13):
I love Joey deep, but he is crazy. Ryan Day
better get the job done.
Speaker 15 (10:18):
And look, I kind of somewhat agree with him, you know,
because when it comes to this game, if it's close
in the fourth quarter, hey, it's going to get real
spooky for os U's fans.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
But he gotta get it done. He gotta get it done.
Speaker 15 (10:33):
He cannot lose to Michigan for the fifth straight year.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Beat Michigan. Preach brother, I agree with.
Speaker 14 (10:40):
You, hey often Marcos from the groove up, I know
we don't give this guy a.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Time of day on the show.
Speaker 14 (10:48):
Uh oh, because of this horrible takes in general. But
I don't know if you saw Chris Kenny's oh about
the Bengals still having a shot to win the division
and make the playoffs. You know me, you ain't got
to give me much to go on about giving me hope.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, I did, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I actually heard, to his credit, I heard two complimentary
things from Chris Canty today about the Bengals. The first was,
I think Evan Cohen was asking him, do you buy
into these teams? It was a list of teams, and
he got to the Bengals, and I think Michelle Smallman
said no, and Chris Canty said, uh, it's it's possible
(11:31):
with Joe Burrow, like it's possible. And then, in a
separate part talking about the future of the AFC North
and who could win that division, Chris Canty doubled down
with Joe Burrow, the Bengals can win that division. So
maybe a changing of the tune there for old Chris Canty.
But you know, if we want to make fun of
him for all the stupid stuff he says, you know,
(11:53):
he at least was complimentary this time.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Mike and independence here the Burrow thing. Think of it
this way.
Speaker 16 (12:01):
Let's say you're working in warehouse and you break your
wrists and work, so you get back, you're ready to
come back to work, and they're like, no, no, no,
we don't want to risk of the rest of this year.
Speaker 17 (12:12):
Numbers are down.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Just take the ear off, we'll pay you come back
next year. It's not how it works. It's good to play.
Let's play correct a mundo.
Speaker 14 (12:21):
Bro, Why do we do this?
Speaker 18 (12:22):
Why do we keep doing this? We say every week
before the game, all they lose this one, this is
the must win.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
If they lose this one, they're done.
Speaker 18 (12:30):
We've done it for the last three weeks. They've lost
all three of them, and then by Tuesday or Wednesday,
we're talking about all they could be back in it
if they do this. If they do that, they have
a less than one percent chance to make the playoffs.
Their minus ten thousand miss playoffs. Like let it come,
it's over, Mike Goodness, All.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, man, I don't know what show you're listening to,
but at no point have I on this radio station
said that I believe the Bengals are good enough to
get to the playoffs. I will openly talk about the
possibilities and the facts, and like what the probabilities are
or if this happens, this happens, and this happens, and
they get in. But I have said for over a
(13:09):
month now that the season is over and they will
not get to the playoffs. I have said on the air,
I expect them to lose every single game the rest
of the way. Now, with Joe Burrow, it's a different team,
and you wonder how it will be different with him
on the field. But no one is on this radio
station saying that the Bengals are going to go win
the AFC North and go deep into the playoffs. Technically, mathematically, factually,
(13:34):
it's still a possibility, and that possibility is alive, And
so you can't acknowledge that doesn't mean I believe it
or know that it's gonna do that it's tru or
that I believe that it's gonna happen. Just because you
acknowledge the possibilities and the realities does not mean that
you are preaching from the mountaintops that these things are
going to happen. But also, there are varying members of
(13:58):
this audience that have different beliefs and different views and
different thoughts on the Bengals. On the sports world, on
all of it. Some people are overly optimistic, some people
are overly negative. It's my job to be able to
reach all those people, not just those who.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Have given up. That's it's kind of how this thing works.
Speaker 17 (14:18):
Hey, Audi, it's Chris and Alexandria. I liked your list
yesterday of all the potential candidates. Thank you and who
you thought fit. But the problem is the Bengals don't
bring in guys who have head coaching experience. True, they
sometimes bring in offensive or defensive coordinators. What qualified Zach
Taylor to be here? I mean he was a quarterbacks coach.
Who knows who they're going to bring in? Who knows
(14:40):
who the better option is. I have no idea what
they're going to do. Probably just sit tight.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, I think that's fair, Chris, and you're exactly right.
It just doesn't happen very often. All Right, we'll take
a break. That was it will come back with a
football in the Natti. This is ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
They took Vider Pimesl there
It's that time for talkbacks. Press the microphone and record
(00:04):
your message for Austin and tone, please keep it clean
and don't be mean. And a sprinkle sprinkle, drip drifts.
It's that time for talkbacks. It's our favorite part since
three sixty.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Yeah, Austin, buddy, play those.

Speaker 15 (10:33):
He cannot lose to Michigan for the fifth straight year.
Speaker 2 (10:36):
Beat Michigan. Preach brother, I agree with.
Speaker 14 (10:40):
You, hey often Marcos from the groove up, I know
we don't give this guy a.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Time of day on the show.
Speaker 14 (10:48):
Uh oh, because of this horrible takes in general. But
I don't know if you saw Chris Kenny's oh about
the Bengals still having a shot to win the division
and make the playoffs. You know me, you ain't got
to give me much to go on about giving me hope.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah, I did, you know.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
I actually heard, to his credit, I heard two complimentary
things from Chris Canty today about the Bengals. The first was,
I think Evan Cohen was asking him, do you buy
into these teams? It was a list of teams, and
he got to the Bengals, and I think Michelle Smallman
said no, and Chris Canty said, uh, it's it's possible
(11:31):
with Joe Burrow, like it's possible. And then, in a
separate part talking about the future of the AFC North
and who could win that division, Chris Canty doubled down
with Joe Burrow, the Bengals can win that division. So
maybe a changing of the tune there for old Chris Canty.
But you know, if we want to make fun of
him for all the stupid stuff he says, you know,
(11:53):
he at least was complimentary this time.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Mike and independence here the Burrow thing. Think of it
this way.
Speaker 16 (12:01):
Let's say you're working in warehouse and you break your
wrists and work, so you get back, you're ready to
come back to work, and they're like, no, no, no,
we don't want to risk of the rest of this year.
Speaker 17 (12:12):
Numbers are down.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
Just take the ear off, we'll pay you come back
next year. It's not how it works. It's good to play.
Let's play correct a mundo.
Speaker 14 (12:21):
Bro, Why do we do this?
Speaker 18 (12:22):
Why do we keep doing this? We say every week
before the game, all they lose this one, this is
the must win.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
If they lose this one, they're done.
Speaker 18 (12:30):
We've done it for the last three weeks. They've lost
all three of them, and then by Tuesday or Wednesday,
we're talking about all they could be back in it
if they do this. If they do that, they have
a less than one percent chance to make the playoffs.
Their minus ten thousand miss playoffs. Like let it come,
it's over, Mike Goodness, All.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Right, man, I don't know what show you're listening to,
but at no point have I on this radio station
said that I believe the Bengals are good enough to
get to the playoffs. I will openly talk about the
possibilities and the facts, and like what the probabilities are
or if this happens, this happens, and this happens, and
they get in. But I have said for over a
(13:09):
month now that the season is over and they will
not get to the playoffs. I have said on the air,
I expect them to lose every single game the rest
of the way. Now, with Joe Burrow, it's a different team,
and you wonder how it will be different with him
on the field. But no one is on this radio
station saying that the Bengals are going to go win
the AFC North and go deep into the playoffs. Technically, mathematically, factually,
(13:34):
it's still a possibility, and that possibility is alive, And
so you can't acknowledge that doesn't mean I believe it
or know that it's gonna do that it's tru or
that I believe that it's gonna happen. Just because you
acknowledge the possibilities and the realities does not mean that
you are preaching from the mountaintops that these things are
going to happen. But also, there are varying members of
(13:58):
this audience that have different beliefs and different views and
different thoughts on the Bengals. On the sports world, on
all of it. Some people are overly optimistic, some people
are overly negative. It's my job to be able to
reach all those people, not just those who.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Have given up. That's it's kind of how this thing works.
Speaker 17 (14:18):
Hey, Audi, it's Chris and Alexandria. I liked your list
yesterday of all the potential candidates. Thank you and who
you thought fit. But the problem is the Bengals don't
bring in guys who have head coaching experience. True, they
sometimes bring in offensive or defensive coordinators. What qualified Zach
Taylor to be here? I mean he was a quarterbacks coach.
Who knows who they're going to bring in? Who knows
(14:40):
who the better option is. I have no idea what
they're going to do. Probably just sit tight.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Yeah, I think that's fair, Chris, and you're exactly right.
It just doesn't happen very often. All Right, we'll take
a break. That was it will come back with a
football in the Natti. This is ESPN fifteen thirty.
