  Speaker 1: Tire Buying Show be I know Coach McFarlane who's a
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: big fan of the show.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: He's in Montana, and he's.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Excited because this is the time where we are allowed
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to discuss something that we don't normally talk about.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: It rather taboo these days to discuss it.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: We are now legally and really contractually bound to talk
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: about a sport that pretty much is ignored the rest
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: of the year. And I think you know what that is,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: right now our lead to begin the festivities here.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: That's right, selection Sunday. Well now it's like St.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Patti's Day, but Selection Sunday and a right of passage,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: right of passage taking place there. We assume that you
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: watched and or at least heard the chatter, the talk,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but maybe not. So to give you the thumbnail recap
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of things you may or may not be aware. Auburn,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: which occasionally has a good football team and lately has
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: had a good basketball team, the Auburn Tigers, led by
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: the Southeastern Conference Player of the Year, a real Broom,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: They were chosen as the number one overall seat for
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the NCAA Tournament.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So there at the very top of your big board.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Followed after that by from the Atlantic Coast Conference. You've
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: got Duke from the Big twelve. Yes, the Big twelve.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Well that was Duke was number two. See but then
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Houston their number three. So Houston in the Big twelve
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: there and Florida also the Gators from the Southeastern Conference
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: their number four.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: So do we have we don't have the number four.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: We don't. Apparently we don't have the number four.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: So all those the number one seeds for the selection
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: committee and a lot of controversy. I don't know why
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: they're still controversy, but there is anyway. We'll get to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: that later. But the selection committee.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Favored Auburn at the very top.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: There they won the SEC regular season, putting more weight
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: on the regular season title. They lost three of their
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: final four games, also lost to Duke when they went
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: head to head, but the selection committee saying the pearl
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: of college basketball Bruce Pearl and Auburn at the very top.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Now the gambling market, which is generally a pretty good gauge,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: but at least where people's money is invested, the gambling
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: market has Duke and Florida as the popular pick by
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: popular people.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: It's not surprising.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Duke Traditionally, even though they don't have coach k walking
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: through that door anymore, Duke always one of the more
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: wagered teams in college Basketball's March Madness. Florida not as much,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but the SEC has now if you look at what
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: they've done here, they have won a bunch of seas.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I think more money coming in.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I saw the stack going around, more money for the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Southeastern Conference from NCAA tournament teams, setting a record, but
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they hadn't won the men's basketball championship going way back
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to twenty twelve. I was a little kid in twenty twelve,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: last time the SEC won. But they did make the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: history with fourteen teams. Fourteen of the sixty eight teams
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: are from the Southeastern Conference. So when you start watching
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the tournament, most people start on Thursday, although there are
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: games playing games in Dayton prior to that. Now Carolina
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: that be North Carolina and Texas. They slid off the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: bubble and they got in and Indiana the Hoosiers. Mike
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Woodson out as coach and they're out. They also apparently
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: turned down I read turned down the nit which is
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: still around also, which is fascinating. I was having a
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: conversation in the hallway with the Saga when he was
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: taken off to go to bed, and we were talking
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: about the the nit and what that that fugazy things
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: all about that's still around.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: But Indiana is not going to that.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: West Virginia people up in arms, up in arms about
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. Boise State also not getting in. So let
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: us discuss the question for the esteem pan or what
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: you were part of.
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: What are you most looking forward.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: To as the tournament gets going here in the real
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: start of the college basketball men's college basketball season here
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, what are you most looking forward to?
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: So my observations, I've.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: Got biblical, Jackson Pollock, and tagline, and we will combine
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: all of these things together and we're gonna go Cowabunga dude,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: is what we going to do. It's a surfing term,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: all right, So nabur that's right. Well, we put these
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: all all together, we'll make the razzle dazzle.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: But I am all about the drama. As you know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I live for the drama and it makes good talk radio.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: And so we're looking for that. We're looking for that
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: part of it. And as a general rule of thumb,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: we don't talk too much college basketball because it's often
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: narrow casting. It's not broadcasting. But we are allowed this
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: week to break it all down, and so we'll dig deep.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: In the past twenty years, this is one of those
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: things that has changed in my lifetime. We have seen
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: famine in this sport. I've witnessed it in my life.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: When I first got into this business in sports radio,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: we talked a lot of college basketball. I remembered to
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: be this thing called Big Monday, and it mattered, it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: meant something, it was a big deal. And along the way,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: for multiple reasons, college basketball has gone down, down, down,
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: down down. But what used to be talked about regular
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: least a couple of times a week has now been
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: whittled down like you're cutting away to a piece of wood,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: and it's been whittled down now, and it really is
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: just a three week sport.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: That's it. That's all three weeks. Now. There's a hard
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: ohs that watch it all.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: The time, but they're the minority, not the majority of people.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And there is a biblical drought of stardust in college basketball.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: That's the thing.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: And if you look and I don't do lists, as
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: you know, I don't believe in list, but if you
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: look at Bennie's Big Board, which is not a list
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: of must see TV, Bennie's Big Board, Must see TV,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: based on what I believe will move the needle in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: talk radio over the next couple of weeks. What would
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: be good for business? And we don't have the usual
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: big name coaches that were the staple of college basketball.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: College basketball is a lot like baseball. There used to
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: be there, used to be in baseball, these bigger than
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: life managers and they're pretty much all gone. Every managers vanilla,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: just boring, dull, no personality, just a zero. College basketball
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: a lot of that has gone as well.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: A lot of has going.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: There's we lost coach k No, he's not dead, but
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: he's not coaching. Jim Beheim. Jay Wright quit early.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: He didn't want to deal with the nil stuff. He's out.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: So the big name coaches you look to right away,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: and there's still some left. Saint John's has got to
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: be at the top. The Johnnies, who haven't been really
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: all that good since the eighties in college basketball. But
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Rick Patino, old NBA coach, got bounced all over the place. Patino,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: the Patino effect, if you will, is at the very
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: top of Big Ben's Big Boy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: But they wink in a nod to coach cal.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: At Arkansas now as he continues his vagabond coaching career.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Dan Hurley and Connecticut Dan Hurley, who believes in all
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: kinds of mystical voodoo type boogaloo things walking around the
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: court with garlic and different things. I saw somebody sent
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: me a link to I guess he was on sixty Minutes,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: which apparently is still on, and they featured him a
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, and he has all the crazy
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: stuff that he's into to try to try to get
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: the good spirits to support the Yukon basketball program and
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: get rid of the evil spirits. I thought that was
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: that was interesting. And I was at Bruce Pearl. We
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: we had Bruce Pearl on back when he was coaching
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Yeah, I mean that was a long
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: time ago, and we had him on as a guest
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: back back in the day. And and there's those are
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the charismatic characters the coaches in college. So I'm sure
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: there's some other ones. Tom is oh, obviously and now
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: flipping the page on that. So from a a handicapping perspective,
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: right from taking a look at the picking of the games,
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: the bracketology of some nerds like to call it. How
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: have the nil deals changed things? From that perspective when
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you're handicapping the tournament. So there's a lot of money
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: to be made here, a lot of money to be
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: made regarding name, image and likeness. And if you do
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: well as a kind of sidebar story in the tournament
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: and you're at one of these smaller schools, you can
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: then get swallowed up by a moby Dick school that
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: will pay you a lot of money to go somewhere else.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: And you know, back in the day, you were guaranteed
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: roughly ninety to ninety five percent of the top seeds
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: were advanced. There's always been upsets that some years there
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: are a few more than others, but generally the rule
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: is like ninety to ninety five percent of the top
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: seeds would advance back in the day. Now it's often complete,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: just a complete toss up in a lot of this
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: and the evolution now it is more like a Jackson
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Pollock painting, if you know the arts right, Jackson like,
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: we just toss paint on the canvas and snotty elitist
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: people would pay big money for a Jackson Pollock painting,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: which is something that you think you're like a three
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: year old could do and people would pay a lot
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: of money. I was here, there, and everywhere, and he
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: was the forefather of the drip technique. And when I
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: look at College of Basketball, a lot of it is
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: the drip technique. That it's just a lot of stuff here,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: there and everywhere, and that's it. There's instability, and it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: all over the canvas. It's all over the place. But
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: if you look at the overall raady we mentioned, Auburn
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: was at the very top. They were the top seed
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: in the tournament. But when you peak behind it, Duke
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: was there at number two, Houston, then Florida, but I
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: was like the very bottom. And there is a team
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: I believe it was only one this year that made
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: the tournament with a losing record, and that would be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: Saint Francis. Literally, some dude named Saint Francis made the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: tournament and they were sixteen and seventeen. God bless the
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: conference tournament. So they were in our last word here.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So taking a couple of steps back and looking at
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the big picture here.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: Where is your overall level.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Of interest in the twenty twenty five March madness.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: As we get set to get the party started.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: So on the Malor Scale of interest, the number one,
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: number one measurement in all of this, the Malor Scale
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: of interest one to ten, with ten being o MG,
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I can't not wait. I can't not wait. I am
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: at a three. Okay, I'm at a three, and I
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: think I'm going high. I think a lot of you
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: are beloved that I think you might be like minus three.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I'm at a three, and I mean generous. I am
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: being generous when I say I'm at a three. And
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: it's been this way for the last couple of years,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and I'm only somewhat into it. Mentioned the coaches. I'm
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: looking for the story I got to talk show to
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: worry about every day. So I'm worried about that. And
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: it really is the tagline from this old show, the
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: wide world of sports, spanning the globe right to bring
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: you the thrill of victory and more importantly, the agony
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: of defeat. And they're certainly going to be a number
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: of OMG, what the f happened moments in the next
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks, and the human drama o rama of
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: athletic competition, which is good and that makes it great again.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: It's been marginalized the NCAA tournament, but it'll be cool
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks. And as I often
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: have done in the past, and I used to bet
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: on a lot of the teams that had the lottery picks,
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: I stopped around the time Kevin Durant was at Texas
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: and they got upset by USC in like their first game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: I said, screw that. I'm never never doing that again.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: And I really have been pretty good about that. But
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I will watch more. I'll key in more on the
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: players as a public service to you for the NBA Draft,
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: which is coming up in the summertime. It's all about
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Cooper Flagg of Duke, the kid from Maine who's at
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Duke right now and head and show there's literally above
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: everyone else in college basketball projected to be the top
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: pick in the draft, and the teams tanking like the
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Utah Jazz and others to try to get their hands
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: on Cooper Flag who was injured in the ACC tournament.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: But from what I was reading, he will be able
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to play once Duke get started. And it is interesting
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: to knowde that if you look at many of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: mock drafts in the NBA, a team that is projected
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: to have two of the top five picks in the
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: draft from Piscataway, New Jersey Rutgers, and they didn't even
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: make the NCAA tournament. How embarrassing is that? How do
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: you have two players that the NBA says are worthy
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: of being top five picks this summer and you suck
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: so much you can't even get into the term. That's
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: embarrassing for Rutgers. And then some of the other teams.
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: The players that stand out that you're going to kind
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: of keep an eye on. Baylor is in VJ. Edgecombe
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: is a guard who's projected to be a lottery pick,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: and also from Texas, they got in Trey Johnson is
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: also projected He's also a guard projected to be drafted
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: the lottery.
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: So those are some of the things I'm looking forward to.
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Am I right or wrong? I think my level.
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: Of interest to three is higher than your level ofventest,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: but maybe I'm not great.

  Speaker 1: The lights are on because of the National Football League
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: and our lead this hour from northern Kentucky or very
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: very southern Ohio. And while some some were bracket busting
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and filling out different brackets and whatnot. An NFL team
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: under the cover of darkness, moving in a clandestine way
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: to pay.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: A lot of money out.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Now, if you didn't hear the Bengals wrote not one,
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: but two cartoon sized checks the news coming down on
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Sunday night, Sunday night, over the weekend. If he did
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: not hear, perhaps not the Bengals. The Cincinnati football team
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: has agreed to deals with Jamar Chase four years, one
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one million Dead presidents, making him the
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: highest paid non quarterback non quarterback in NFL history. That
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: has changed three times. Three times in the past ten days.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: There has been a different player at the very top.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: It started with.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: Max Crosby from the Raiders who got paid, and then.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: The guy that really wanted to win and wanted to
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: be traded from the Cleveland Browns because he couldn't win
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: in Cleveland. And then the Browns made him the highest
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: paid non quarterback, Miles Garrett, and suddenly he didn't care
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: about winning. He wanted to play for the Browns. And
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: now now it's Jamar Chase. So Jamar Chase is at
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: the very top. He is under contract. I know you're
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: concerned about his finances through twenty twenty nine, so he's
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: he's locked in. But wait, there's more. So not only
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve million Garon teed for Jamar Chase,
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: but you also have T Higgins, the franchise tag wide receiver.
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: T Higgins. Was he traded of the Patriots.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: No.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: T Higgins gets a four year deal for one hundred
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: and fifteen million, making him the highest paid.
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: Number two, number two.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Receiver in NFL history. Not a number one, not a
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: number one. He's the deuce and he's getting paid a
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: lot of money. The first two years of T higgins
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: contract are fully guaranteed, so evently it's a two year deal.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: After that, there's some loopholes and whatnot, the deal keeping Higgins,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: who's twenty six, in a ben Gal's uniform through the
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight season. So let us discuss the money
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: flying everywhere in the NFL, even in Cincinnati.
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: All right, so question for the panel, what do you
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: make We've seen the moves. Shit, we went over the
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: moves here, these moves to extend Jamar Chase and T Higgins.
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: What are these moves signify to you? What do these
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: moves signify the Jamar Chase T. Higgins contract. So I've
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: got Whistlestop, Dolly Parton, and primal Fear, and we will
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: combine all of these things together and we are gonna
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: make the Goaba Ghoul Because these guys can buy as
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: much Gobba gohul as they want.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: They're loaded.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: So to lead off here, this is the way I
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: will phrase it is out of character. If you've been
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: around for a few years, this is very unbangal like
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: what they're doing here. In fact, when I saw this
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: at first, I thought, well, this must be some kind
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: of satire. This must be Sports Talk Berry or one
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: of those satire sites. This is not real. But it
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: turns out it is legit. That we double checked it,
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: did the discount double check, and sure enough, the Cincinnati
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: football team was able to dust the cobwebs off the
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: wallet and pay out a bunch of money. And that's
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: old family money. Normally, old family money does not get
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: spent this way, not by the Bengals. They are the
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: cheapest franchise in the NFL. That they did this, now,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: why did they do it? It signifies we are going
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: to pacify. We're gonna buy the biggest pacifier we can
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: get to that Joe Burrow, Right, Joe Burrow was over
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: there bitching that the Bengals needed to keep this team together,
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a team that didn't even make the playoffs last year.
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: And Burrow's out there screaming, you got to keep these
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: guys together. And it turns out the lesson of this story,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: and you can't disagree with me on this is that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: The grumbling by Joe Burrow, grumble, Grumbo, grumble. The grumbling
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: by Joe Burrow worked his little whistle stop tour around
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the NFL media Super Bowl week and around that time
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: where he publicly advocated and demanded that ownership pay these guys,
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: and sure enough, it actually worked right. The stump speech
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: paid off two hundred and seventy six million dollars in
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: contracts handed out, not all of it guaranteed, but most
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: of it is. Most of it is guaranteed to t
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: Higgins and also to Jamar Chase. So Joe Burrow somewhere
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: at a secret location with a Cheshire cat smile from
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: ear to ear that his koviching, his complaining paid off
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: right and way to go. It all worked out, Burrow,
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, it is getting two hundred nineteen million
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: dollars he's on his that's in guaranteed money. And the
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: great thing about this is that as good as I
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: believe Joe Burrow is, he does not have to make
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: players around him better. There was for many, many years
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: this belief if you're going to pay a quarterback top dollar,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: they're so good they elevate the players around them. But
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: but Joe Burrow has publicly stated, I think it's kind
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: of clear here that he needed these guys on his
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: team is he's not good enough to elevate the players
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: around him. Otherwise it would have made more fiscal sense
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: to allow at least one of those two receivers to
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: go somewhere else.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: But what Joe Burrows said, Hey, I'm.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Not good enough as a quarterback, and so I have
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: to have these premier receivers because I can't take a
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: B level.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Receiver and turn them into an A level receiver.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: And I'd be tremendously handicapped as a quarterback if I
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: don't have these guys. And ownership agreed with the Bengals.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: Ownership's like, you know, you're right, You're absolutely correct. You
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: you're not that good, and now you look around, and
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: so you've got an absolute loaded offense.
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: You'll continue to have that. You have an elite one
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: to two.
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: Punch right there at wide receiver. And the Bengals with
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: all those offensive dynamos, explosive players all over the field,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: and it's just wonderful.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: But yet where else are they? Right?
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: You assume that the defensive star Trey Hendrickson will be
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: traded at some point here soon. Can't imagine they'd sign him.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: If they weren't gonna sign him, they proably would have
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: announced it on Sunday night, over the weekend and do
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: everything at the same time. There was no announcement, which
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: there have been some rumors that Colts are interested in Hendrickson.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Will see if that trade happens or not, but it'd
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: be surprising at this point if the Bengals keep Hendrickson.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: They had a terrible defense last year, didn't make the playoffs. Now, furthermore,
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: let's focus in. We're gonna lock in our laser pointer
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: on t Higgins because T Higgins now the NFL's ninth
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver.
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: Then beat that. For those of you in the back
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: room that are barely awake.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: T Higgins he's a wide receiver number two and T
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Higgins ninth highest paid receiver in the NFL. So that
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: is a bitter pill to swallow. It is, now, Higgins,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: here's the way I look at against. Like, if I
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: was the Patriots and I paid him that contract, you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: know that's justified. If I was the Chargers and I
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: paid T. Higgins that contract because he'd be my number one,
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: so that makes a lot of sense. But if I'm
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Kansas City, I would I would pay T Higgins that contract.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: If I'm the Bengals, it's not my money, it's fine.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: They want to burn money, you can do it. But
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: from a just a logical standpoint, if you already have
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: the number one receiver and you're paying him the most
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: money of any player not a quarterback in the NFL
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: at number two, you put your ninth highest contract for T. Higgins,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: I mean that is a that is a tough one.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: That is a tough one. You had to make Burrow happy.
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: Burrow complained, right, you had to make him happy. He
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: had a hissy fit, and so you made Burrow happy.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: But the second wide receiver is the ninth highest pace
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: second wide receiver in your locker room and overall the Bengals.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: If you look at the way they're set up, they
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: are like Dolly Parton, the Dolly Partner of the NFL.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: They're very top heavy, if you know what I mean.
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: And Jamar, Chase T. Higgins and Joe Burrow. The estimate
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: is they're going to take up almost fifty percent of
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: the salary cap. Now, I am a salary cap truther.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: I am a salary cap truth. I know that to
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: be true, which means you can finagle the salary cap.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: And these contracts will be reworked in future years, and
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: so there's some ways you can work around it. But
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: to pay both receivers one okay, but seems seems be
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: a little much. Seems a little much. And so Cincinnati
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: is going to have a hodgepodge of players from the
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Amazon Delivery Drive and Uber X drivers
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: will be filling out their roster and that'll be the
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: way that goes there.
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: Good luck, I'm sure it'll work well.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: As long as you can go out and score thirty
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: five points a game, you'll have a chance to win
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: most games.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: And then that's the way it goes.
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Just send a bunch of flotsam and jets them out
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: there and see how it goes all right, Now, final
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: part of this male of monogue, the last thing here,
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: we go to Seattle. We pivot away from Cincinnati where
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: everyone got paid. We go now to Seattle, and the
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: details are coming out now on Sam Darnald. Now, I
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: got criticized by some of our guys and say, you
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: know you're too hard on Sam Darnald. You hit a
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: big year. You don't know what you're talking about. That's
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: why you're doing overnights. You were questioning Sam Darnald. So
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the details, the fine print is out. The fine print
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: is out on Sam Donald's contract with the Seahawks. And
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: it turns out that everything I said was justified. Not
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that I'm here to take a victory laugh, but I
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: will take a bow. I will bow, and you can
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: call up and apologize if you want. I'll give out
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: the numbers in a minute. But how do you read
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: how do you read the news out on the contract
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: that Seattle's deal with Sam Donald, that they have an
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: out after one season. It's essentially a one year deal
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: for Sam Donald. And after the twenty twenty five season,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: they can say it's not you, it's us. And hit
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: the road, Jack, and don't you come back now? Get
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: out of here. So how do I read that? I
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: read it like this, Okay, I read it like this.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: This is like the metal band Primal Fear. It is
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: their song vote of no Confidence. It is a vote
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: of no confidence, which is justified. All right, it is
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: justified the vote of no confidence. Rightfully, Seattle does not
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: trust Sam Donald. This is what I've been saying. And
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: it's nice to know that the Seattle Seahawks also think
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: this guy's stiff and they don't trust him. They're like, well,
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: we're kind of in it, but we're not fully into it,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and we want to make sure we have this way
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: to get out of the contract.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: And that is the way you should approach Sam Donald.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: And yet I heard from a bunch of my guys
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: in Seattle that were like, oh man, you're just a
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: RAM fan. You hate the Seahawks. I mean no, I
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: know that Sam Donald's gonna fall apart when you need
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: him the most. And why would you put your faith
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: in Sam Donald? The guys a zero. He's fine week
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: three or week four, but down the stretch, it's like
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: a poorly made bag. It just falls apart. Right falls apart.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: Having blind faith in Sam Donald is akin to that
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: that line about driving on a dark country road middle
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: of the night, you got no lights on your car
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: and you're looking out the back window.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: That is. The chances of that working and the chances
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: of Sam Donald working are about the same. They're about
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: the same.
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: It worked for a while, but the first time you
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: come to a turn, you're going over the side of
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the hill.
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: That's it.
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: And Sam Donald will earn thirty seven million, thirty seven
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: and a half million dollars in twenty twenty five. Good
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: work if you can find it. However, however, the fine
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: print Sam Donald's contract has all kinds of escape patches,
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: and the compensation after that does not kick in until
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: a week after the Super Bowl, so Seattle can say
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: bye bye, get out of here, you're a bum. And
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: so a couple of weeks after the season, Seattle won't
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs next year, So then they have to
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: decide whether or not they want to keep Sam Donald around,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: or he goes back on the market and Seattle goes
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: back and tries to find some other quarterback. But it
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense like Seattle has an escape
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: portal that they can go into an escape patch and
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: they can cut bait and go get some other Jabbroni
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: to play quarterback. So it's essentially a throwaway year for
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: the Seahawks. It's a it's a we're not trying to
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: win in twenty twenty five. I don't know why you
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: buy tickets for the team they're they're announcing, they're.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: Not really into it.
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: It's just an experimental year with Sam Darnold and maybe
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: it'll work for a while, but at some point it
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: won't and then they'll have to move on from him
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: and bring somebody else.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Ben Meller
• 30:17

  Speaker 1: Sox man now Max Vnable.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: This guy's dad gave me a ball when I was
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: a kid. He was an outfielder for the Angels.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: I always remember the players that tossed me at baseball
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: when I was a kidding.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Max Vnable is one of.
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: My Here we call story brought to the third degree, No.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Idea, who that is?
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: This?
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Never heard of him?
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go, here we go, Here we go,
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: Here we go. A couple of Billy Joela is the
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: piano man. By the way, I just went. I just
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: went with.
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: If I correct every one of her mistakes, we will
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: have no time.
• 31:05
  Speaker 4: Just come on right anyway, then it's only a four
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: hour show, Coop. The latest prediction has the Giants taking
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: Shadar Sanders with the number three pick.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: Are you buying that? Well?
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I saw over the weekend, Shoulder Sanders posted on the
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: gram photo with Gino Smith, clearly implying that.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: He would rather play for the Raiders.
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: Yet again, every sent out all those comments on social
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: media during the Colorado season, he wants to play for
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: the Raiders. So I'm not buying it. I don't I
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: think the Giants would be wise to not draft a quarterback.
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think either one of these guys is a
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: slam dog. So I don't believe it. And you know
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: how this works, Coop. It's the elevator game. It's up
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: and down if you need it. If it's a slow
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: news day, shoulder Sanders story. If it's a big news day,
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: you let it rest next.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: So Mike Williams, he had some good seasons with the Chargers,
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: was a good wide receiver. Then he went to the
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Jets and he was terrible, and now he's back with
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: the Chargers. He said that he has something to prove
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: after a terrible year.
• 31:59
