Speaker 1 (00:00):
So there's the tale of two Cincinnati sports teams. We'll
start with a really good news. The Reds just did
the other. I could not believe they swept the Cubs.
Four games. They swept the Cubs. I mean it was
in two of the games were one nothing the Reds won.
I do not know how you have, in a very
(00:23):
good Cubs team, how they were able to pull this off.
I didn't watch one game of the four I really had.
I had already written them off. I'll just say it. Well,
now they're tied for the final NL wildcard spot. And
by the way, if they stay tied with the Mets
(00:43):
all the way through the end, we get the tiebreaker. Yeah,
we get the tiebreaker. So right now they are in
position to make the postseason. I'm in shop, Chuck, I
am in shop. You know what, though, we got to
play the Brewers coming up, so this could be interesting.
And the only thing I can think with regard to
(01:05):
the Brewers, if they're so far out, I haven't really
sat and looked at their situation, but if they're so
far out, we might get some of their some of
their people, dare I say it resting or maybe not
as active.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
If you will which, uh, well, plus, we just had
a series with the Brewers, what two weeks.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Ago, It may have even been a little longer than that.
I was at the game the Sunday we broke their
winning streak. They were up to like fourteen games in
a row or something along those lines, and then we
walked it off. We were at that game. That was
a Sunday game in Cinci. That would have been I'm
trying to think how long ago that was.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Maybe the Reds will have a little muscle memory from
that last series.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
Let's hope.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
Man.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
The Reds odds to make the playoffs are plus two hundred,
so it's plus money right now. And if you bet
plus two hundred.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
You bet a dollar, you get back three.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah. If you were to bet Red's odds to win
the World Series or plus two thousand right now, oh
my gosh, man, that.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Might that might be worth ten bucks right there, just
for the hell of it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Yeah, why not? Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Man?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
This is this is great. This is great. I I
I mean, it's so good for the city. What's not
good for the city is what you're Unfortunately you're you
call them the Bungles. They're back to that again. I don't.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I don't I and I can't even tell you why.
I don't know. It was like they were It was
almost as if they have a new series of play
where fumbling the ball is actually part of the play.
It was ridiculous. They could not hold onto a ball
for when you get this, what's fumbling. I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
They're in the They're in the huddle. He's like, all
right now, listen, I'm gonna hand it off to you
when you get to the twelve yard line. I'm fumbling. Okay,
got it.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
It was ridiculous the way that ball kept coming. And
I'm going to credit you know, what's that kid's name? Number? Twenty?
Was it twenty? I mean he was knocking the ball out.
He had a couple of fumble recoveries.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
I didn't watch the game.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
It was he was knocking the ball out. He was
being very aggressive kind of. He looked more like a
college player, because you will see the pros do that
nearly as much.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I don't know your personnel either, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Yeah, this no, no, this wasn't our. If he was
our personnel, we might not have.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
Got for them. Okay.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
Yeah, it was a great football day, though, except for
the being grande.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Who did you guys play?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
We were playing Minnesota Vikings.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Yeah yeah, Bikings scored on the opening drive, allowed to
turnover from Bengals to bury themselves in an eventual forty
eight to ten loss at US a crowd of Da
Da Da Da Da. The thirty eight point margin was
the largest in a Bengals defeat in franchise history. Cincinnati
had previously Los lost by thirty seven points on four
separate occasions. This was the largest margin of loss in
(04:01):
franchise history.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
Let's put a plaque on the wall for then. Oh
my god, it was terrible. And did you did you.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
See the U Yes, I did. The Green Bay Browns.
I couldn't believe it. At the buzzer he smoked fifty
five yard front at the buzzer. The Brown's doing Unbrowns
like things.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Very awesome.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
Congratulations to them, very.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And then Philadelphia. I'm not an Eagles fan, but did
you see that funer recovery in Philadelphia?
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Hey, brother brother man who recovered that and ran it
back is still on oxygen right now.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He hit I think they collocked him. It was it
sixteen miles per hour, nineteen miles per hour, three hundred
and thirty six pounds.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
He was moving.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh my goodness, that was It was a good football day,
It really was.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
He slept well last night, you know he did, because
that's the most run and he's done it a long time,
you know he did.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
He probably wore himself out on that, but he's he's a.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Hero, I'll be honest. Also, Steelers win, but multiple turnovers,
we couldn't get anything going we you know, unless we
have I've turned. If our defense can't force five turnovers
every week, we're in trouble. Come on, this was silly.
What was happening? You know what? I don't understand how
they right out of the box, right march right down
(05:12):
the field. Aaron Rodgers looks like, I'm like, well look
at this, and then we get another touchdown. At one
point he came metcalf, he throws on the back shoulder.
I mean, it was like there was there was a
lot of shiny moments, but then there was a lot
of are you kidding me?
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Moments?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Good thing New England didn't have their as together, That's
all I can say, because we really should have been
out in front way more than we were. And then
we barely basically hang on to win that. But yeah, yeah,
we're two and one, but I don't Now we head
to Ireland, which I think would be an amazing game
to go watch. I think you were saying you wouldn't
(05:51):
really want any part of that.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, I don't. I just I don't know part. The
crowd is part of the enjoyment of a game for me,
and it'll be crowded there, I know, be crowded. But
are the Irish people into the NFL? Are they just
going because of the novelty?
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
You know when you got football there, you know the
Minnesota fans and the true then they're they're with their
team and there you watch them suffering. I don't know
if the Irish people care.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Well, I do know it's gonna be nine thirty in
the morning when my Steelers are on somehow, so I
know for fact that we'll be on regular TV.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
So you won't be staying up late Saturday night, is
what you're saying.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
Oh I will, I'll be fine. But the latest subjective,
isn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah? Uh? Late for me is like, oh it's ten thirty.
We gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, lights are on, it's bedtime exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Also, I ended up getting the ticket yesterday traffic ticket. No, no, no,
the NFL ticket and uh and it's just barely cheaper
than a traffic ticket. But but I ended up getting it.
You know what, my daughter, there's a I was talking about.
I forgot completely about this, but last year I do
(07:06):
remember not only talking about taking advantage of it. Somebody
let me know, like, hey, just so you know, they
do school like school ID or school age kids can
get an enormous discount. Well, let me tell you. It
goes from four hundred and eighty dollars. It's six eighty
eight sixty dollars payments is the way they do. Or
(07:27):
you can just pay four eighty all at once. Or
it was one twenty seven for the.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
Whole season, twenty seven.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
One twenty seven for the whole season. Because Josephine lives
with me and the college thing and we put in
her info there.
Speaker 2 (07:41):
It was nice.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
So I wasn't gonna get to watch the Steelers at
home yesterday. I was like, I'm gonna have to go
hunt it down.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
They had a commercial on for Nfilm Network yesterday. It
was like eight payments of thirty four eighty eight or
something like that, and for a moment one of my
eyebrows raised.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
But I'm like, no, not when you're a Bengals fan,
most of the time you're gonna get coverage. Yesterday, you
beat out the Browns for coverage, and then the Browns
do something spectac Of course you were saying you beat
him out, is what I was. But they were on Fox.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
But see, this is just it's still a CBS game.
But CBS apparently sold the rights to broadcast the Fox.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I didn't know that. I didn't know they could do that.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Yeah, it's well, see, and that's what I'm wondering. If
they can do that with the Browns, why they can't
Why they can't do it with the Bengals. If they
want to carry the CBS affiliate, have the carry put
the Browns. Why can't you sell the Bengals rights to Fox?
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Yeah? I don't understand that.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
Or I don't care if it's upn man, I just
want to watch.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
The game, right, Oh, I get it, man, I get it.
Well anyway, uh I I fear I fear for you guys,
because burrows out until what probably middle of December.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Yeah, at least three months if even if he's not ready,
if they if, if somehow, some way they made the playoffs,
he'd come back and play. I know he would, Yeah,
