Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sixty carries on on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Is that pressed the microphon a spring go.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Ow is that.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's a favorite, great sexty.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Try not to sabotage it, all right, Austin, here's the
chance I gave. I gave listeners that the option really say,
if you have something you need to get off your chest,
like many, if you're like me, many do today with
the Bearcats, maybe the Muskies, maybe the Bengals, maybe anything else.
Like you could call five one, three, seven, four nine,
fifteen thirty in the show and you could talk about it,
(00:53):
or you could take the floor for thirty seconds and
get across whatever you need to.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That's what this platform is for. Yeah, use it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
By the way, great in the next segment, we will
be giving away another pair of tickets to AEW maximum Carnage.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You got today's question.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I have today's question prepared. It is I believe a
week from today at the Andrew J. Brady Music to Events,
So be prepared for that. Let's check out the talkbacks
for today.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Okay, yeah, this is me.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
So that's the most partly lost I think I've ever
seen as a Bearcat fan and does anyone know, like,
did their travel plans get affected by the weather or something.
Either way, they haven't looked the same since Christmas break
and I don't know, maybe I need to be more
like Austin, just be happy that you know, we beat
(01:44):
our rival and not look at the bigger picture.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Freaking pathetic.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I did say to Tony this morning, at least you
won your super Bowl. Such was beating Xavier, so at
least you have.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That, he said Maso four thirty two in the morning,
Cup still fuming.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I hate this.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
This is a question for the mailman.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
How do the walking mailman walk through snow all day
and not get frostbite?
Speaker 9 (02:13):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
All right, right, that's a great question.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Look forward to the because there are folks like me
that don't even shovel the sidewalk.
Speaker 10 (02:21):
Tony, Austin, Alix and sober take. I love to talk
back as what you guys.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Has taken some in the NFL season.
Speaker 10 (02:29):
Mine was the Demanders to win the NFC East. They
put a playoff game. Tony's yours play was the Tigers
are beat as good as look the thing, and Austin
said that the Titans win.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
The AFC South.
Speaker 10 (02:43):
Austin it doesn't seem like you know bull.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Now Man, Yeah, you said that, Titans, you get one
wrong as the forty right now, all of a sudden,
you don't know ball.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Now, let me ask you about mine, because Green Bay
was getting a lot of hype. They finished in third
in their division.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, but they won what eleven games?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They were They're a seven seed. They're gonna get bounced
in the first round. I think I was right on that.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You said the Packers are not as good as.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Not as good as everyone thinks they're gonna be.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I think I disagree with that. Okay, eleven wins is
kind of like the perfect spot. That's what people expected
they I don't think people expected Minnesota and Detroit to
win fourteen to fifteen games.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Colts, Titans, Rams, Cardinals, Texans, Jags, Bears, Niners, Dolphins, Seahawks, Saints.
I mean they got maybe one marquee win on that list.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, tough guys, Big Cahuna and Kentucky. You know you're
gonna go out and get beat like Wes Miller did
last night, flat out in Bears. He's not gonna make
the tournament again. But then he had the audacity to
send out an email the day before yesterday, thirty dollars
early bird registration for the next two weeks for the
West Miller basketball camp. And this guy has a lot
of nerves. I don't know if you know or not,
but you know you go to his basketball camp. You
(03:58):
signed up to get a picture with him, him in
an autograph. You got paid an extra twenty dollars. I've
said Litton over there before and he charges twenty dollars
for a picture and an autograph.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
This guy stinks. Man, Wow, sounds like I didn't know that.
I didn't know that. Pickahunda.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Again, sorry for the double dip, but I gotta go
off on the NFL. Why do you have a seventeen
regular game season? If guys ain't gonna play the last week,
they need to reverse the NFL draft order. You do
it in tears. You got eighteen that don't make the playoffs.
So the best record out of those eighteen gets the
first pick, the worst record out of those eighteen gets
the eighteenth pick, and then you do it same with
the playoffs based on.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
The regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Whoever had the best record you get the nineteenth pick.
So that would be the Chiefs for the Lions second
best gets the twentieth and so forth. You gotta have
him played for something. This is a ridiculous setting, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, get it off your chest today, I go home.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think sitting guys really only happened for teams that
were in the playoffs already. I don't think it was
a major issue week Feeble. It's happened for years and
years and years in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You know what I'd like.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I think I'd like for one year for us to
be the team that sits people.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, we did that in twenties twenty one.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'd like to be gold Man.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Look at.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You, forgetles.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
What are they doing? They're sitting everyone?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You forget already we did that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, it feels like twenty years ago.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Joe Burrow didn't even go to Cleveland. That feels like
twenty years samar Chase got one catch to break a
record and he was done. I think the NBA should
make it where the best teams get the best picks.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
NBA's in trouble. I need to do something.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Same with baseball. That tanking is a real issue in
those two sports. In the NFL is perfect, happy hunting everybody.
Kevin Kentucky here.
Speaker 11 (05:30):
I'm gonna give a shout out to you guys and
to find folks at Sincy Shirts. I think it's great
that you guys are giving away a gift card weekly
to the best talkbacker of the week. I wish I
had a plus material of competeness, but I know my
lane and I stay in it. That said, it won't
stop me from shopping at that fine establishment. It's a
little surprised that Bengals fire as many coaches as it did, but.
Speaker 12 (05:50):
We all know that changers and needed take care everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh waits y, then thank you Kevin. Thanks Kevin.
Speaker 12 (05:58):
Well, that was a bummer. You're in my birthday cats.
It just goes to show the sec brutal. Just look
what happened to Tennessee last night by the team that
UK beat Saturday. It's going to be a dog fight
and a cat fight all season long. So go be
blue Hoode and go rid.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A dog and a cat fight. I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hey, it's God.
Speaker 13 (06:25):
I gotta start bench cut Tuddy.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Natty or goal.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'll start.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Hear the word natty, I think of people referring to Cincinnati,
not national title.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I will start goal. I'll bench Tuddy and I'll cut Natty.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I agree.
Speaker 14 (06:51):
So I wanted to bring everybody up to speed on
this story. So Oddie gets stuck in the snow. He
contacts Tony at home asking to bring a shovel. Tony
only sends a picture of a broom and audience like,
you're a grown man, you don't have a shovel. Well,
he's not known for being a shovel guy. He's more
(07:12):
known as being a pick.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Gotch.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Saturday Saturday Saturdays, Let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Jim has entered the race alongside as former president as
a nominee for that since as.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
As you'll hear in the next hour. As Sean Miller
stated last night, this is rock bottom. Oh my god,
may have been rock bottom for me.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You guys are watching, you stink.
Speaker 15 (07:43):
I was watching some t j O apostives, like the
fast pace technology in that place is awesome. If that's
a lot of fun for your average card to play
big negatives, A bunch of rich guys is hanging out,
having fun getting richer. The course was not competitive for
those guys, just watching them hit a ball into the screen.
(08:06):
And there's no allegion to any teams.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I think it is I've heard good things about it.
I didn't get a chance to watch it last night,
but I am looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah, I didn't see it. Saw a lot of tweets
about it. A couple of highlights. The arena that they're
in looks pretty amazing.
Speaker 15 (08:19):
Yeah, sorry, real quick. Another positive I forgot to mention,
as if this and can sustain itself and go on
in years. I mean, it'd be really cool to see
guys like Tiger. He could play way more often here
and way longer. We can see him for many decades
to come. So that's neat, that's true. But yeah, more
tg Off days to come.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, I think that's interesting. The next evolution of Tiger
as an ambassador to golf and kind of what that
means and him. He seems a lot more comfortable being
in the spotlight now, and especially with Charlie coming up.
I think that'll be a cool part of Tiger's left
to watch.
Speaker 16 (08:55):
Everybody would With all the coaching changes with the Cincinnati Bengalsdan,
you think management might consider changing whoever is in charge
of play calling and clock management. Inquiring minds one of
(09:17):
that brought you by Peal with us kicking ass and
swing glass.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's nineteen twenty times well done.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Can you pass that along?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Kicking ass and selling glass?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I think they might want to ditch Pella now pay later.
That's it, man, go kicking ass and selling glass.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I like that.
Speaker 16 (09:40):
Oh yeah, pictures and catchers report and thirty four days.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That's what I needed. That's what I needed.
Speaker 17 (09:51):
I've had bad reception out in my area, had a
bad fall the other day.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We're gonna We're gonna survive.
Speaker 17 (10:01):
You see the game unfolded last night, just like I
thought it would like a lot of people thought it
would like. He said, they need some leadership and also fire,
some cohesion.
Speaker 14 (10:15):
They have no.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Offer great opportunity Saturday against a bad team coming in
to get a win.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Man, what'd you say? A bad team coming in Saturday?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Trouble Wes Miller question his coaching ability, Mitchell, he can't
shoot worth a lick. I don't understand how C. J.
Frederick can't get on the court with these shooting rows.
I know he's not a good defender, but the people
are playing right now are good defenders, and on top
of that, they're not good shooters.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah. I don't have the answer. I wish I did.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I can't wait to start to bring Bob Huggins back
thing in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, that'll be a fun segment to Rachel Cleaves.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Hey, I was thinking the other day what kind of
qualifications did Zach Taylor have before he interviewed for the
Bengals job that would be seen as positives and earned
him the right to have that job? Or did he
just wow them with a presentation and an attitude. Just
(11:20):
kind of curious as to what he accomplished before he
even tried for the job that got him here.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Probably had a good recommendation for his father in law
that probably helped.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
He was on a RAM staff that went to the Rams.
Stass got jarricked off to the super Bowl was.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Not what he was able or not able to do
as the offensive coordinator for the Bearcats. I can say
that he was a wide receivers coach at the Rams,
so that's probably not something that carries a ton of weight. However,
if you think back to that time, the Sean McVay
coaching tree was popping off. Oh Man, Kevin O'Connell, Matt Lafleur,
Zach Taylor all among guys who got jobs based off
(11:59):
their relation with Sean McVay, so he certainly wasn't the
only one who maybe ultimately had accomplished not very much,
but got a job because of what they did in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 18 (12:11):
Hey, everybody, Peppy Patty here, I heard from the mowalk
and Grandpa in a long time. I hope you're doing
all right. Malwak and Grandpa, I know we talked about
it last year. I asked, where do you walk? Obviously
I never went, or I would know. But I need
to get out anyway. Once my car's not stuck in
(12:31):
my driveway anymore, I need to get out and do
some walking.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So where should I go? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Indoor walking I always see. If I ever have to
stop early, I always see people walking. There's like leagues
of people walking at the at the mall. Really, yes,
I would like some nice trails to walk this year.
I think they don't know of anyone. I think she's
talking about when it's cold like this outside, where can
those who want to exercise go.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Indoors? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know what's big these days are those walking pats.
Yeah have you seen that? I have a couple of
friends with those. I think I would struggle with that.
You walking in the same place.
Speaker 13 (13:07):
Yeah, hey, Tony, Hey Austin, Jeff you Richmond, Tony, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Right with you right now.
Speaker 13 (13:14):
As far as the bear Cats go, h at this moment,
I don't think they're going to make the tournament. I
lost to Kansas on Saturday is going to be really
detrimental to this team and their psyche. I wonder if
you make a follow up question, does Wes Miller have
to go if they don't make.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It this year?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Owing for on making the NCAA tournament, I think it
would have to unravel in a bad way, which is
currently in danger of doing. But I think it would
have to get really really bad.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But man, I don't think so. But I don't think
it'd be off the table. Huggy Bear, guys, it's Jeff again.
Oh hey, real quick. As far as Wes Miller goes,
this is year four.
Speaker 13 (14:05):
These are his guys, so he doesn't have that excuse anymore.
He's a great recruiter. But you know what point do
the recruits have to pan out? Because I think that's
kind of where we're at now. Take care, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, I don't know. Not so hot.
Speaker 19 (14:29):
Nope, I'm not even catcht utting the word because my
Barracats are letting me down. Man, Zavier just got beaten
up last night. A sense he sweep in a reverse
way was horrific. What's going on? Both teams were ranking
the top twenty five A hot moment ago, all of
a sudden, I'm dreaming now, it's a nightmare. We singing
the same cynthy song over and over. Bengals, Reds, Bearcats
(14:50):
get off to a good start. I'm starting to hit
the panic. Buddy, It's my worry, Austin. It's like in
my mind, I keep battling myself like did I just
have it that wrong? But then I'm like, it wasn't
just me. They were picked inside the top twenty to
start the year. They were ranked, A lot of people
thought this was a different team, and I'm I'm I'm
taking crazy pills right now trying to figure out if
(15:11):
I was just.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Wrong, which that sort of stuff only magnifies it worse. Yeah,
snifies the coaching back again for a double dip.
Speaker 19 (15:18):
So I'm gonna say something, as a diehard Cincinnati sports fans,
for each one of our teams that wep our cities.
We have so much hype and so much hope in them.
As soon as the season starts to get off to
bad starts. Rids slow start, Bengals, slow start, Bearcats football
and basketball slow starts, especially in basketball.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We're staying at zero and four.
Speaker 19 (15:40):
This is like the common theme of our Cincinnati sports teams.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Just so depressing, so depressing, bad.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is Wes Miller.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
I just wanted to call in and say this, man,
I'm pissed off about our team.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
We gotta play better.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
There's no excuses about it.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Fans.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
This is Joe Sare Hughes, not from great American jolly Man.
The Reds, in honor of signing Gavin Lux, are partnering
with Skyline Chili to provide the Deluxe menu item including
a Cheeze, Tony three way and Solito. For more information,
is it Reds dot Com Deluxe So good?
Speaker 20 (16:21):
Hey, I just wanted to comment on the Utah Iowa
State score at the fifth beginning yesterday. I'm sure other
people had seen that, but I had never seen a
one to one score for college basketball before. I just
thought that was fascinating. Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
What happened apparently at the beginning of that game those
teams traded free throws and it was one to one.
Speaker 21 (16:43):
Oh, can we have the GERMANE Pratt conversation? Continually looks
out of position, plays at a pad level that is
very high, is running through gaps at the worst possible times,
And ever since twenty twenty two when he had a
(17:06):
great PFF grade and pass coverage, it really's dropped off.
I think it's time to cut bait with that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Curious your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Okay, yeah, I think with Pratt it's it makes a
lot of sense to me to cut bait with him,
But also, when you have so many other holes, is
now the right time to do it? I think you're right.
He's out of position. He kind of plays this this
st I don't know if I can find the word
for it in my head. I was trying to think
of it. But he's just kind of flailing everywhere. He's
(17:37):
not really under control whenever he goes into certain parts
of the field. And again I've said this about him before.
I have never seen a more inconsistent football player tame
Man than Jermaine Pratt. He will make a huge play,
he'll make a huge stop, he'll make a TfL he'll
pick the ball off. He'll make a great tackle, and
(17:58):
then the next play he terrible. He does the wrong thing,
he takes the wrong angle, he misses a tackle, he
does something stupid. He is the most inconsistent football player
I've ever seen in my life. The thing with this
defense now, and with players like Jermaine, is what can
a new defensive coordinator do to tweak that? If anything?
(18:21):
Guy's been in the league for a long time now.
Is this just who he is? Or can he evolve
under a new coordinator? That's why I think it's really interesting.
That's a good question.
Speaker 22 (18:33):
Anyways, you see Clifton basketball, pathetic, half hearted effort, low
energy Clifton, That's what I'm calling him from this state forward,
low energy Clifton.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Who do we root for now?
Speaker 22 (18:48):
In this damn town? Defending national champions You see Clairemont.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Let's go back.
Speaker 19 (19:00):
Often what's fellas?
Speaker 12 (19:01):
Joe and Baltimore.
Speaker 19 (19:03):
After watching the bear Cats last night and the Wildcats
last night, I'm ready to watch the baseball.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
Then again, the regify is just gonna disappoint me too.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Man, It's gonna be a tough as season. You ain't kidding, man,
You ain't kidding.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
What's up fellas Hey. I don't know if you touched
on this yesterday and didn't get.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
A chance to listen.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
But how funny would it be if the Rams and
the Chargers both made it to the conference championship games.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
As the home favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
They'd be playing at the same stadium on the same day.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Then forty five minutes after each other. It's a good question.
I wonder what they would do, and they never thought
of that yet.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Would it be like a one o'clock game in an
eight o'clock game? Maybe they have to do it that
way maybe, or they would do it Saturday Sunday. Right, No,
it's a good question. Yeah they would, right, it had
to be a Saturday Sunday. Yeah, thing to think of it. Never,
I never let my head get there before.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Thank you. That was our last one.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Man.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's a good set of them today.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It is a lot of folks had to get some
stuff off the chest today, and rightfully, so we've got
to take a break when we come back. Austin's got
a trivia question for you. Here's the deal. I am
making the phone lines open right now here. Listen, that's
the button I just clicked. Okay, phone lines are open.
You got to call in at five one, three, seven nine,
fifteen thirty. What's our guy yesterday, Bob?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Bob?
Speaker 5 (20:35):
Yeah, Bob.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
If Bob's listening right now, Bob, you can call back
in and win something today, but you have to answer
the question and you got turned the radio down and
you have to answer it correctly.
Speaker 3 (20:46):
Yes. So, Austin, what are folks calling in to win.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
A pair of tickets for January fifteenth to see a
E W Maximum Carnage. I said that right, Maximum Carnage
at the Andrew J. Brady Music Center on January the fifteenth.
AW Dynamite, aw Collision, aw TIS tix dot Com.

Sports station. Thanks to Sinti shirts
Sixty carries on on ESPN fifteen thirty, Cincinnati's sports station.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Is that pressed the microphon a spring go.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Ow is that.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
It's a favorite, great sexty.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Try not to sabotage it, all right, Austin, here's the
chance I gave. I gave listeners that the option really say,
if you have something you need to get off your chest,
like many, if you're like me, many do today with
the Bearcats, maybe the Muskies, maybe the Bengals, maybe anything else.
Like you could call five one, three, seven, four nine,
fifteen thirty in the show and you could talk about it,
(00:53):
or you could take the floor for thirty seconds and
get across whatever you need to.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
That's what this platform is for. Yeah, use it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
By the way, great in the next segment, we will
be giving away another pair of tickets to AEW maximum Carnage.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
You got today's question.
Speaker 5 (01:10):
I have today's question prepared. It is I believe a
week from today at the Andrew J. Brady Music to Events,
So be prepared for that. Let's check out the talkbacks
for today.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Okay, yeah, this is me.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
So that's the most partly lost I think I've ever
seen as a Bearcat fan and does anyone know, like,
did their travel plans get affected by the weather or something.
Either way, they haven't looked the same since Christmas break
and I don't know, maybe I need to be more
like Austin, just be happy that you know, we beat
(01:44):
our rival and not look at the bigger picture.
Speaker 3 (01:47):
Freaking pathetic.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
I did say to Tony this morning, at least you
won your super Bowl. Such was beating Xavier, so at
least you have.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
That, he said Maso four thirty two in the morning,
Cup still fuming.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
I hate this.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
This is a question for the mailman.
Speaker 8 (02:07):
How do the walking mailman walk through snow all day
and not get frostbite?
Speaker 9 (02:13):
Wow?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
All right, right, that's a great question.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
Look forward to the because there are folks like me
that don't even shovel the sidewalk.
Speaker 10 (02:21):
Tony, Austin, Alix and sober take. I love to talk
back as what you guys.
Speaker 5 (02:27):
Has taken some in the NFL season.
Speaker 10 (02:29):
Mine was the Demanders to win the NFC East. They
put a playoff game. Tony's yours play was the Tigers
are beat as good as look the thing, and Austin
said that the Titans win.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
The AFC South.
Speaker 10 (02:43):
Austin it doesn't seem like you know bull.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
Now Man, Yeah, you said that, Titans, you get one
wrong as the forty right now, all of a sudden,
you don't know ball.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Now, let me ask you about mine, because Green Bay
was getting a lot of hype. They finished in third
in their division.
Speaker 5 (03:00):
Yeah, but they won what eleven games?
Speaker 4 (03:02):
They were They're a seven seed. They're gonna get bounced
in the first round. I think I was right on that.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You said the Packers are not as good as.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Not as good as everyone thinks they're gonna be.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
I think I disagree with that. Okay, eleven wins is
kind of like the perfect spot. That's what people expected
they I don't think people expected Minnesota and Detroit to
win fourteen to fifteen games.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Colts, Titans, Rams, Cardinals, Texans, Jags, Bears, Niners, Dolphins, Seahawks, Saints.
I mean they got maybe one marquee win on that list.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Okay, tough guys, Big Cahuna and Kentucky. You know you're
gonna go out and get beat like Wes Miller did
last night, flat out in Bears. He's not gonna make
the tournament again. But then he had the audacity to
send out an email the day before yesterday, thirty dollars
early bird registration for the next two weeks for the
West Miller basketball camp. And this guy has a lot
of nerves. I don't know if you know or not,
but you know you go to his basketball camp. You
(03:58):
signed up to get a picture with him, him in
an autograph. You got paid an extra twenty dollars. I've
said Litton over there before and he charges twenty dollars
for a picture and an autograph.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
This guy stinks. Man, Wow, sounds like I didn't know that.
I didn't know that. Pickahunda.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Again, sorry for the double dip, but I gotta go
off on the NFL. Why do you have a seventeen
regular game season? If guys ain't gonna play the last week,
they need to reverse the NFL draft order. You do
it in tears. You got eighteen that don't make the playoffs.
So the best record out of those eighteen gets the
first pick, the worst record out of those eighteen gets
the eighteenth pick, and then you do it same with
the playoffs based on.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
The regular season.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Whoever had the best record you get the nineteenth pick.
So that would be the Chiefs for the Lions second
best gets the twentieth and so forth. You gotta have
him played for something. This is a ridiculous setting, guys.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
Okay, get it off your chest today, I go home.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
I think sitting guys really only happened for teams that
were in the playoffs already. I don't think it was
a major issue week Feeble. It's happened for years and
years and years in the NFL.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You know what I'd like.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
I think I'd like for one year for us to
be the team that sits people.
Speaker 5 (04:58):
Yeah, we did that in twenties twenty one.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
I'd like to be gold Man.
Speaker 7 (05:00):
Look at.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
You, forgetles.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
What are they doing? They're sitting everyone?
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You forget already we did that.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, it feels like twenty years ago.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
Joe Burrow didn't even go to Cleveland. That feels like
twenty years samar Chase got one catch to break a
record and he was done. I think the NBA should
make it where the best teams get the best picks.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
NBA's in trouble. I need to do something.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
Same with baseball. That tanking is a real issue in
those two sports. In the NFL is perfect, happy hunting everybody.
Kevin Kentucky here.
Speaker 11 (05:30):
I'm gonna give a shout out to you guys and
to find folks at Sincy Shirts. I think it's great
that you guys are giving away a gift card weekly
to the best talkbacker of the week. I wish I
had a plus material of competeness, but I know my
lane and I stay in it. That said, it won't
stop me from shopping at that fine establishment. It's a
little surprised that Bengals fire as many coaches as it did, but.
Speaker 12 (05:50):
We all know that changers and needed take care everybody.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
Oh waits y, then thank you Kevin. Thanks Kevin.
Speaker 12 (05:58):
Well, that was a bummer. You're in my birthday cats.
It just goes to show the sec brutal. Just look
what happened to Tennessee last night by the team that
UK beat Saturday. It's going to be a dog fight
and a cat fight all season long. So go be
blue Hoode and go rid.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
A dog and a cat fight. I like that.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
Hey, it's God.
Speaker 13 (06:25):
I gotta start bench cut Tuddy.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Natty or goal.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
I'll start.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
Hear the word natty, I think of people referring to Cincinnati,
not national title.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
I will start goal. I'll bench Tuddy and I'll cut Natty.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I agree.
Speaker 14 (06:51):
So I wanted to bring everybody up to speed on
this story. So Oddie gets stuck in the snow. He
contacts Tony at home asking to bring a shovel. Tony
only sends a picture of a broom and audience like,
you're a grown man, you don't have a shovel. Well,
he's not known for being a shovel guy. He's more
(07:12):
known as being a pick.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Gotch.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Saturday Saturday Saturdays, Let's go.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 5 (07:26):
Jim has entered the race alongside as former president as
a nominee for that since as.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
As you'll hear in the next hour. As Sean Miller
stated last night, this is rock bottom. Oh my god,
may have been rock bottom for me.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
You guys are watching, you stink.
Speaker 15 (07:43):
I was watching some t j O apostives, like the
fast pace technology in that place is awesome. If that's
a lot of fun for your average card to play
big negatives, A bunch of rich guys is hanging out,
having fun getting richer. The course was not competitive for
those guys, just watching them hit a ball into the screen.
(08:06):
And there's no allegion to any teams.
Speaker 4 (08:08):
I think it is I've heard good things about it.
I didn't get a chance to watch it last night,
but I am looking forward to it.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
Yeah, I didn't see it. Saw a lot of tweets
about it. A couple of highlights. The arena that they're
in looks pretty amazing.
Speaker 15 (08:19):
Yeah, sorry, real quick. Another positive I forgot to mention,
as if this and can sustain itself and go on
in years. I mean, it'd be really cool to see
guys like Tiger. He could play way more often here
and way longer. We can see him for many decades
to come. So that's neat, that's true. But yeah, more
tg Off days to come.
Speaker 5 (08:38):
Yeah, I think that's interesting. The next evolution of Tiger
as an ambassador to golf and kind of what that
means and him. He seems a lot more comfortable being
in the spotlight now, and especially with Charlie coming up.
I think that'll be a cool part of Tiger's left
to watch.
Speaker 16 (08:55):
Everybody would With all the coaching changes with the Cincinnati Bengalsdan,
you think management might consider changing whoever is in charge
of play calling and clock management. Inquiring minds one of
(09:17):
that brought you by Peal with us kicking ass and
swing glass.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
That's nineteen twenty times well done.
Speaker 5 (09:27):
Can you pass that along?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Kicking ass and selling glass?
Speaker 5 (09:32):
I think they might want to ditch Pella now pay later.
That's it, man, go kicking ass and selling glass.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
I like that.
Speaker 16 (09:40):
Oh yeah, pictures and catchers report and thirty four days.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
That's what I needed. That's what I needed.
Speaker 17 (09:51):
I've had bad reception out in my area, had a
bad fall the other day.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
We're gonna We're gonna survive.
Speaker 17 (10:01):
You see the game unfolded last night, just like I
thought it would like a lot of people thought it
would like. He said, they need some leadership and also fire,
some cohesion.
Speaker 14 (10:15):
They have no.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Offer great opportunity Saturday against a bad team coming in
to get a win.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
Man, what'd you say? A bad team coming in Saturday?
Speaker 7 (10:26):
Trouble Wes Miller question his coaching ability, Mitchell, he can't
shoot worth a lick. I don't understand how C. J.
Frederick can't get on the court with these shooting rows.
I know he's not a good defender, but the people
are playing right now are good defenders, and on top
of that, they're not good shooters.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah. I don't have the answer. I wish I did.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I can't wait to start to bring Bob Huggins back
thing in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 3 (10:55):
Yeah, that'll be a fun segment to Rachel Cleaves.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Hey, I was thinking the other day what kind of
qualifications did Zach Taylor have before he interviewed for the
Bengals job that would be seen as positives and earned
him the right to have that job? Or did he
just wow them with a presentation and an attitude. Just
(11:20):
kind of curious as to what he accomplished before he
even tried for the job that got him here.
Speaker 4 (11:27):
Probably had a good recommendation for his father in law
that probably helped.
Speaker 5 (11:31):
He was on a RAM staff that went to the Rams.
Stass got jarricked off to the super Bowl was.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
Not what he was able or not able to do
as the offensive coordinator for the Bearcats. I can say
that he was a wide receivers coach at the Rams,
so that's probably not something that carries a ton of weight. However,
if you think back to that time, the Sean McVay
coaching tree was popping off. Oh Man, Kevin O'Connell, Matt Lafleur,
Zach Taylor all among guys who got jobs based off
(11:59):
their relation with Sean McVay, so he certainly wasn't the
only one who maybe ultimately had accomplished not very much,
but got a job because of what they did in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 18 (12:11):
Hey, everybody, Peppy Patty here, I heard from the mowalk
and Grandpa in a long time. I hope you're doing
all right. Malwak and Grandpa, I know we talked about
it last year. I asked, where do you walk? Obviously
I never went, or I would know. But I need
to get out anyway. Once my car's not stuck in
(12:31):
my driveway anymore, I need to get out and do
some walking.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
So where should I go? Thanks?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Indoor walking I always see. If I ever have to
stop early, I always see people walking. There's like leagues
of people walking at the at the mall. Really, yes,
I would like some nice trails to walk this year.
I think they don't know of anyone. I think she's
talking about when it's cold like this outside, where can
those who want to exercise go.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Indoors? Yeah?
Speaker 5 (12:57):
You know what's big these days are those walking pats.
Yeah have you seen that? I have a couple of
friends with those. I think I would struggle with that.
You walking in the same place.
Speaker 13 (13:07):
Yeah, hey, Tony, Hey Austin, Jeff you Richmond, Tony, I'm.
Speaker 3 (13:12):
Right with you right now.
Speaker 13 (13:14):
As far as the bear Cats go, h at this moment,
I don't think they're going to make the tournament. I
lost to Kansas on Saturday is going to be really
detrimental to this team and their psyche. I wonder if
you make a follow up question, does Wes Miller have
to go if they don't make.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
It this year?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Owing for on making the NCAA tournament, I think it
would have to unravel in a bad way, which is
currently in danger of doing. But I think it would
have to get really really bad.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
But man, I don't think so. But I don't think
it'd be off the table. Huggy Bear, guys, it's Jeff again.
Oh hey, real quick. As far as Wes Miller goes,
this is year four.
Speaker 13 (14:05):
These are his guys, so he doesn't have that excuse anymore.
He's a great recruiter. But you know what point do
the recruits have to pan out? Because I think that's
kind of where we're at now. Take care, guys.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, I don't know. Not so hot.
Speaker 19 (14:29):
Nope, I'm not even catcht utting the word because my
Barracats are letting me down. Man, Zavier just got beaten
up last night. A sense he sweep in a reverse
way was horrific. What's going on? Both teams were ranking
the top twenty five A hot moment ago, all of
a sudden, I'm dreaming now, it's a nightmare. We singing
the same cynthy song over and over. Bengals, Reds, Bearcats
(14:50):
get off to a good start. I'm starting to hit
the panic. Buddy, It's my worry, Austin. It's like in
my mind, I keep battling myself like did I just
have it that wrong? But then I'm like, it wasn't
just me. They were picked inside the top twenty to
start the year. They were ranked, A lot of people
thought this was a different team, and I'm I'm I'm
taking crazy pills right now trying to figure out if
(15:11):
I was just.
Speaker 5 (15:11):
Wrong, which that sort of stuff only magnifies it worse. Yeah,
snifies the coaching back again for a double dip.
Speaker 19 (15:18):
So I'm gonna say something, as a diehard Cincinnati sports fans,
for each one of our teams that wep our cities.
We have so much hype and so much hope in them.
As soon as the season starts to get off to
bad starts. Rids slow start, Bengals, slow start, Bearcats football
and basketball slow starts, especially in basketball.
Speaker 3 (15:38):
We're staying at zero and four.
Speaker 19 (15:40):
This is like the common theme of our Cincinnati sports teams.
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Just so depressing, so depressing, bad.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
Guys.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
This is Wes Miller.
Speaker 8 (15:50):
I just wanted to call in and say this, man,
I'm pissed off about our team.
Speaker 9 (15:54):
We gotta play better.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
There's no excuses about it.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
Fans.
Speaker 8 (15:58):
This is Joe Sare Hughes, not from great American jolly Man.
The Reds, in honor of signing Gavin Lux, are partnering
with Skyline Chili to provide the Deluxe menu item including
a Cheeze, Tony three way and Solito. For more information,
is it Reds dot Com Deluxe So good?
Speaker 20 (16:21):
Hey, I just wanted to comment on the Utah Iowa
State score at the fifth beginning yesterday. I'm sure other
people had seen that, but I had never seen a
one to one score for college basketball before. I just
thought that was fascinating. Have a great day.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
Thanks.
Speaker 5 (16:38):
What happened apparently at the beginning of that game those
teams traded free throws and it was one to one.
Speaker 21 (16:43):
Oh, can we have the GERMANE Pratt conversation? Continually looks
out of position, plays at a pad level that is
very high, is running through gaps at the worst possible times,
And ever since twenty twenty two when he had a
(17:06):
great PFF grade and pass coverage, it really's dropped off.
I think it's time to cut bait with that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Curious your thoughts.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Okay, yeah, I think with Pratt it's it makes a
lot of sense to me to cut bait with him,
But also, when you have so many other holes, is
now the right time to do it? I think you're right.
He's out of position. He kind of plays this this
st I don't know if I can find the word
for it in my head. I was trying to think
of it. But he's just kind of flailing everywhere. He's
(17:37):
not really under control whenever he goes into certain parts
of the field. And again I've said this about him before.
I have never seen a more inconsistent football player tame
Man than Jermaine Pratt. He will make a huge play,
he'll make a huge stop, he'll make a TfL he'll
pick the ball off. He'll make a great tackle, and
(17:58):
then the next play he terrible. He does the wrong thing,
he takes the wrong angle, he misses a tackle, he
does something stupid. He is the most inconsistent football player
I've ever seen in my life. The thing with this
defense now, and with players like Jermaine, is what can
a new defensive coordinator do to tweak that? If anything?
(18:21):
Guy's been in the league for a long time now.
Is this just who he is? Or can he evolve
under a new coordinator? That's why I think it's really interesting.
That's a good question.
Speaker 22 (18:33):
Anyways, you see Clifton basketball, pathetic, half hearted effort, low
energy Clifton, That's what I'm calling him from this state forward,
low energy Clifton.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
Who do we root for now?
Speaker 22 (18:48):
In this damn town? Defending national champions You see Clairemont.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
Let's go back.
Speaker 19 (19:00):
Often what's fellas?
Speaker 12 (19:01):
Joe and Baltimore.
Speaker 19 (19:03):
After watching the bear Cats last night and the Wildcats
last night, I'm ready to watch the baseball.
Speaker 12 (19:10):
Then again, the regify is just gonna disappoint me too.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Man, It's gonna be a tough as season. You ain't kidding, man,
You ain't kidding.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
What's up fellas Hey. I don't know if you touched
on this yesterday and didn't get.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
A chance to listen.
Speaker 5 (19:25):
But how funny would it be if the Rams and
the Chargers both made it to the conference championship games.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
As the home favorites.
Speaker 2 (19:37):
They'd be playing at the same stadium on the same day.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Then forty five minutes after each other. It's a good question.
I wonder what they would do, and they never thought
of that yet.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Would it be like a one o'clock game in an
eight o'clock game? Maybe they have to do it that
way maybe, or they would do it Saturday Sunday. Right, No,
it's a good question. Yeah they would, right, it had
to be a Saturday Sunday. Yeah, thing to think of it. Never,
I never let my head get there before.
Speaker 3 (20:06):
Thank you. That was our last one.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Man.
Speaker 3 (20:09):
It's a good set of them today.
Speaker 4 (20:11):
It is a lot of folks had to get some
stuff off the chest today, and rightfully, so we've got
to take a break when we come back. Austin's got
a trivia question for you. Here's the deal. I am
making the phone lines open right now here. Listen, that's
