Clouds are billing about left and right. We have winds, we have rain,
we have leaves blowing every which way. Darkness is descended upon the land
because of Joe Burrow, Moe Egger, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show.
We spoke a few days ago about the importance of this game. I
think you picked a course the Bengals to win. Everyone except yours truly said,
I understand what it's like to live under the sign of the Bengal Tiger.
As we sit here at noon, we don't have an update other than
ESPN's reporting that the Bengal organization is in some degree of difficulty, and at
this point we're in trouble. Moe, give me your perspective on what happened
last night. If anything, the Bengal defense gave up something like five hundred
yards again. They've put up nine hundred and fifty yards allowed the last two
games. They have passed interference calls against them, which are ridiculous. They
can't hike the ball within sufficient time to have a legal play. We got
all hell breaking loose every which way, and I was happy un till about
I don't know, about the middle of the second quarter. All hell broke
loose, Moe, give me a full report. Last night was a disaster.
Disaster, There's no other way to put it. Last night was a
disaster. This was a game we talked about the Bengals needing to win.
They didn't. This was a game that we talked about the Bengals having to
cast aside the issues we saw in their game against the Houston Texans. They
didn't. This was a game that was supposed to be the jumping off point
to a run here in the second half of the season. Well, now,
even if you believe that can't happen despite the loss, how does it
happen if you don't have Joe Burrow. We don't know the extent of the
injury. We don't know specifically what the injury is. We don't know how
it's going to impact his availability in the second half of the season. Right
now, the questions outweigh the answers. That is not where you want to
be for a team that is sitting five and five, essentially four games out
of the lead in its own division and in a very very crowded field of
playoff contenders in the AFC. I feel like I'm in a portal lead and
another customer. Since it just goes on and on. Adam Schefter, your
good friend says quote. NFL investigating why Joe Burrow was not listed on the
injury report, which has to be done previous occasions, teams have lost draft
choices, find lots of money. Of course, money's irrelevant in this league.
And when you got Joe Burrow coming off the bus, he's got a
brace on. Some called it a cast. That looked like a brace to
me. Obviously there was an injury. Give us a live update on the
responsibilities of the Bengals and why they don't perform well. The responsibilities to list
injuries on the injury report is something that the league takes very, very seriously.
The Steelers were fined for this a number of years ago for a case
involving Ben Roethlisberger. And not only was the franchise find but the head coach
was hitting the wall at as well, Mike Tomlin. This was in twenty
nineteen, So you know, there was the image of something on Joe's hand.
What it was, I don't know, but look, I think you're
being reasonable if you go, wait a minute, he had something on his
hand. Yeah, the image that was originally tweeted by the team they deleted.
And then, you know, not even midway through the game, he
comes out with an injury to the same hand. And it's not like,
you know, he didn't bang his hand on a helmet during his follow through.
It didn't look like he landed on it awkwardly. It was he throws
a touchdown, he comes up lame, and then suddenly he can't grip a
football. So there's that. Then there's just the performance of the team itself
and the questions that I think are fair about whether the Bengals should have had
a better, more experienced backup ready to go in the event that something were
to happen. To me, that's as big a part of the conversation as
any, because all during training camp and for much of the offseason, many
of us wondered, Okay, if Joe Burrow has to come out, are
you comfortable with the backup quarterback not to play the entire season, not to
play five or six games. But Joe's got to come out for some reason.
Maybe ye, it's the concussion protocol. Maybe he has suffered an injury
that's gonna require him to miss the rest of the game. Can the other
guy come in and help the offense function? And nothing against Jake Browning,
but the answer last night was no. He wasn't the only reason why Cincinnati's
offensive line last night was terrible, and frankly, the holes that have revealed
themselves on this defense that might really from a pure football perspective, might be
the biggest story because there are Baltimore skill guys who are still running untouched.
Cincinnati gave up over one hundred yards after the catch last night. The Baltimore
Ravens kicked them around. They looked like the better team. But you're supposed
to feel like even against good teams, if you're starting quarterback leaves your backup
quarterback can still get the job done. Nobody felt that way about Jake Browning
when he came into the game. Nobody felt that wage about Jake Browning as
the game unfolded, and nobody's gonna feel that way about Jake Browning if he
has to play a week from Sunday against Pittsburgh. We edgil doctor Timothy Kremchek
to come on and UH later today to talk about where we are. I
want to share with you and the American people at tweet or shall I say
an X that I sent out last night in the third quarter? Are you
prepared? I can't wait? Bengal delay of game penalties, pass interference calls,
a defense giving up almost one thousand yards over two games, injuries to
our quarterback, unusual play calling, lackluster attitude as Raven's role to victory,
submerged memories returned to darken the corners of my mind? Do you have hope?
And the responses I got were no, it's over? Yeah, mo
Ager? Is it over? Are there super Bowl hopes extinguished? Yes?
You're asking me, Yes, yeah, it's over. Is there anything about
this team so far ten games in now not knowing when the starting quarterback is
going to play again? Is there anything about this team that screams championship contender?
No, especially with the schedule, well, and you know the schedule.
The lack of AFC wins. They've won one game against AFC opponents.
So possible if somebody would have told you, what if somebody bet your house
double or nothing that after ten games, after eleven weeks in the NFL season
now Bengals, Bengals would have one win against the AFC opponent. Would you
have bet your house on that one. You would have said, yes,
let's go. I would have. I would have. So you know,
now you start you start to think about tie breakers down the road. How
do you win them against AFC teams when you only have one AFC win?
But I think more than anything else, forget winning the title, you got
to figure out a way to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers a week from Sunday,
and maybe do it without Joe Burrow. We we don't know, you know,
we we don't know, but you know, I mean, say what
you want about how unwatchable the Steelers have been on offense this year. They're
six and three, They've got a Hall of Fame head coach, they beat
you in your building last year. That's going to be a tough team to
beat. The Steelers week to week are difficult to beat. Then you have
to go to Jacksonville. Now, Trevor Lawrence hasn't taken the step forward this
year. I think a lot of his thought no, but we talked a
lot about the Bengals history on the road in prime time. That's a Jacksonville
team that made the playoffs last year and won a playoff game. That's not
going to be an easy task. They have still ahead a game against the
Minnesota Vikings, who had the longest winning streak in the league. Right now,
they have another game against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. They have to go
to Kansas City. They have to play the Browns here in that defense week
eighteen. So let's start doing the math. Nine and eight is probably not
going to cut it for the Bengals. Well, let's talk about facts.
Because you deal with poetry, I deal with pros. Last night, to
Al Michael's, former Reds broadcaster said that since nineteen ninety nine, we're talking
now about a quarter of a century, the Bengals Bengals on the road in
primetime are now one and twenty four one and so of the twenty five games
on the road in primetime since the era of Bill Clinton, the Bengals have
lost twenty four of twenty five games on the road in primetime. Can you
digest that just for a moment? I can, because I've lived it.
You can you understand? Yeah? So, you know, they have seven
games remaining. One of them is going to be in primetime on the road
against Jacksonville. They have seven games remaining. Can they win five out of
seven? Can they? Yes? Will they? Well? How about this
one? The last fifteen games on the road in primetime, there's zero and
fifteen and Joe Burrow is zero and five. Do you see a trend here?
Mo am I breaking through? Do you see a trend? I?
Do again? You know? All right? They have one primetime game left
on the road against Jacksonville. Understand that history, understanding the teams they have
on their schedule who they don't play in prime time. If the number of
wins needed to get to the playoffs is ten, and by the way,
you might be tied with other teams that have ten wins and then have to
win tiebreakers. Can this team get to ten wins? Can they win five
out of seven? And you know, the answer to this question might come
easier later today if we find out more about Joe, or on Monday or
Tuesday of next week, if we see that he is going to be okay
and he can play against the Pittsburgh Steelers. But right now, given what
we have watched over the last couple of weeks, given what we know about
the quality of their schedule, and given the pure uncertainty surrounding Joe Burrow's hand,
I have a hard time believing this team can get to ten victories.
I hate to say that, but I don't know. I don't know what
other conclusion right now. You can draw now again, Joe might come out
on Monday or Tuesday and say he's great, Fine, I am, let's
go, let's be let's be real. His his his his hand last night
looked like a chicken cutlet. He was so compromised that after throwing a touchdown
pass he never came back into the game. Suddenly he's going to be one
hundred percent in time for the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers next week. I
have a hard time believing that that's. You know, he's a young man.
So far, he's had a calf injury, a non contact calf injury.
He's had his knee blown out, he had an ACL an MCL,
A PCL at TCL, had all the l's and came back from that.
Now he's got a rest injury. Every part of his body's hurting, and
the big money's not kicked in for another couple of years. He's still playing
under the rookie so to speak contract this year and next year, and the
window is closing. Much like with Josh Allen in Buffalo. That window is
shut and nailed shut in Buffalo. But mo before I let you go,
we had a poll out here that Cincinnati is the best city in Ohio to
to live in, which I certainly agree without question. When you take Kentucky,
Indiana, Cincinnati, take hambl in the county, Claremont County. A
lot of stuff going on, but the whole worthiness of that polls taking a
hit because the second best city in Ohio to live in is Youngstown. Have
you ever been to Youngstown? For God's sakes, have you ever seen the
frozen ducks in Youngstown? I have not, and I have a no burning
desire to go to Youngstown. Why would someone to go to Youngstown? Then?
Number four is Toledo. Now, I spent about six years in Toledo
when it was functional. Have you been to Toledo? I have been bit
of the bit of the glass bowl. Saw U see played Toledo's. What
do you think about Toledo? Katz went to Tony Paco's. Uh, my
experience there was limited, but okay, not good. It's not good.
It looks like it looks like beroot. I mean, it's simply not Where's
Dayton. On the list, Dayton is number seventy four out of seventy the
only list it's seventy and Dayton was seventy four. Dayton is terrible. Dayton's
not terrible, it's terrible. I love the people of Dayton, but I
mean, if the world needed an anima, i'd good right into Dayton.
What's what's date? Wait a minute, what's from? That's where I went
to school. Well that's my point. That's one of the things. But
all right, MO, we gotta go. But uh, I tell you
what, Every year it happens, build it up and then just tear it
down, up and down, up and down. That's all we do is
up and down, up and down, up and down. And now we're
down and I don't see it's going back up For a long time. All
I hear is flim flam, and uh. I want to see the I
want to see this team live out their manifest destinies, and every time they
can. It's a caf, it's a it's a knee, it's a wrist.
God knows what's next. It's all bad, MO, It's all bad.
There's nothing good. It's all bad. So it's why you have to
start faster to begin the season right because now, like you know, they
start zero and two, they start one and three, and everybody goes,
well, they have time to make it up. Well, you don't know
what's gonna happen, and so now the bad start has caught up to them.
And you know, again, I know there are folks who hear this
conversation and shake their heads and go, if Joe's okay, this team's gonna
be okay. And maybe that's the case, but the math, the math
is starting to get They're in last place right now. Willie the Bengals odds
to win the AFC nor Threat plus seventeen hundred. Yesterday it was a plus
four hundred. So it's all bad. Vegas isn't buying it, and common
sense right now doesn't side with believing the Bengals can turn this around to the
extent that we would all hope. Well, you don't win as a city
when you're comparing yourself to Youngstown, Toledo, and Dayton. If that,
if that's your competition and you're number one, Dayton's nicer than Toledo, well
I've I think it's like comparing a you know, garbage to a to a
dog turd. So I don't know what's worse. But when you compare Cincinnati
to Youngstown, Toledo, and Dayton, you better win. That's all right,
you better win whatever, whatever, shamp I mean, that's nice that
we were number one. They had seventy sitters, seventy cities ranked higher than
Dayton. Yeah, they were kind. They were kind to Dayton. Put
him at seventy four. PA. Can't Canton beat him? How about that
when Aleria beat him? Laria beat Alaria, the home of Chuck Mayshock.
Aliria beat Dayton. I love Chuck Mayshock, bother. He was a good
dude. Hi Moe, thank you for your analysis. Once again, you're
right on that the Bengals stink. I look forward to talking to you next
week. God bless America. Let's continue with more. Thank youm moh dark
days. Yesterday was bright and sunny. Today is dark and dreary and getting
worse. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred. That's what you l do.
You get a jump on holiday shopping with washbooking coming up after one o'clock
today is doctor Timothy Krimchek of Beacon Orthopedic to break down the injury. To
Joe Burrow, he's not the treating physician on this case, but he has
a great knowledge, shall we say, and in wrist injuries and how to
treat him that kind of stuff. So he's he knows exactly where the bodies
are buried when it comes to wrist injuries, having treated thousands and thousands of
wrist injuries of being an orthopedic. According to Moeger, you might recall after
the game there was a few moments when Joe Burrow was discussing things, once
with Lamar Jackson and another couple times after the game is over on the field
from previous LSU teammates, and according to Moeger, he's a lip reader that
Lamar said something of the effect what happened, and Joe said, I heard
something pop. And so you know, as an American, heaven you heard
things pop a few times in your knee, your EBow. Absolutely things pop
all the time around me. So we're going to ask doctor Timothy Krimchek after
one o'clock as far as what does that mean if something popped, and we're
going to have many MRIs conducted. I'm sure it's going to be shared with
those around the planet sometime later today to find it exactly what it is.
David Pointnoy of the Internet Stars You know. David Portnoy bet, according to
one account, one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars on the Bengals last night
to win the game. He also met a large bet on the Bengals to
shall we say, win the Super Bowl, and things are going south.
According to media accounts, Portnoy is threatening a class action lawsuit against the Bengals
organization, the National Football League, Joe Burrow, etc. For not reporting
this injury ahead of time. There are rules and regulations, as Moe pointed
out, that one must disclose any injuries ahead of time so the other team
can prepare. Headline in the ESPN is NFL to investigate Bengals for injury report
compliance. Now, many times something happens during the game. Of course,
you can't report ahead of time what's going to happen. But it appeared,
according to Channel five and their sports department, that when Joe Burrow got off
the team bus, he had a brace on his right wrist, So that
is consciousness of guilt. In fact, the Bengals organization, on their website
put that up and for about twenty thirty minutes and then took it down because
it appeared he had a soft cast on his right hand, and the Bengals
later deleted the post and he appeared to be hampered by the injury before leaving
the game by grimacing, et cetera of things of that character, and coach
Zach Taylor said after the loss that preliminary evaluation showed that Burrow had suffered a
sprained right wrist. You know, they have an MRI machine right there at
the Ravens Stadium, so he simply stuck his hand inside and there was no
apparent there was no break, no apparent injury, and he was seen in
the locker room after the game wearing a multi line rap and Taylor said Burrow
fell on the wrist earlier in the game before he appeared to be in serious
pain, and then he threw a four yard touchdown pass to Joe Mixon on
Burrow's final play that resulted in the Bengals taking the lead. So at that
point, David Pointnoy and the faithful, in other words, you and I
were quite pleased with what was going on. And then after that Joe Burrow
became Bengalized, and away we go. So if true, as Moe said,
you can lose draft choices. If true, you can be fine a
whole bunch of money for not reporting this injury ahead of time, which obviously
the Bengals knew about because they treated it with a cast. A couple of
years ago, the Steelers were fined about one hundred thousand dollars for failing to
report an injury involving Ben Roethlisberger. But the betting community, which is now
ubiquitous, is angry. But this was not disclosed. As far as a
long suffering Bengals fan, here we go again. I had these dark feelings
that I feel as if this was a moment for Carson Palmer. You might
recall Heisman Trophy winner, number one selection by the Bengals, Chemo, the
assassin, chicken wings. Carson Palmer, I think you threw a pass along
the right sideline. Was it Chris Henry that caught that ball? And suddenly
Carson Palmer was writhing in agony on the turf and I could not continue at
that point. Paul Brown Stadium, And then you had k John Carter,
the best running back in football, compared to Jim Brown, who in Detroit
in a preseason game wearing the Bengal uniform number one pick blows out his knee.
Was never the same. You had Ken Griffy Junior coming here in nineteen
ninety nine, two thousand season. The Reds at that point had gone to
the play in game against the Mets. I think it was an al lighter
the Red's law, like four Zip at Riverfront. They add to that team,
Ken Griffy Junior. Here we go, It's going to be great.
I think the next eight or nine years Griffy may have gone to one or
two All Star Games and that that's it. He was the Hank Aaron Willie
Mays of his generation until he put on the Red uniform, in which case
he couldn't play. So every time I look at something, I look at
Kenyon Martin, the number one All American player of the year with the Bearcats
and Saint Louis just took a step somehow and all of a sudden broke his
leg. Have no idea how that happened. I'm not sure there is a
city that gets higher for its sports and then gets lower then Cincinnati. At
least now he's got nine days to get ready, So we're going to quizz
doctor Timothy kremcheck in about twenty minutes about these kinds of injuries. Assuming when
Zach Taylor spoke last night, he would have known from the MOI results whether
there was a break, and that appears not to be the case. But
how to proceed further? Would two weeks be better for a soft tissue injury?
To keep it quiet with one week? And he play it. Here
we go again, it's day to day. I anticipate we're going to hear
it later on day to day. Well, hell, who isn't day to
day? Are you day to day? Yes? So at this point,
we'll see what happens. This is the Bengals. I referenced on my Twitter
account what I felt like at the time, which was complete despair and it
was just more ros felt like I'm in a portolette and another person SATs down,
sits down. So it's not a good feeling. But here we go
again. We know how to deal with this. We'll see what happens.
And the Bengals last night. Al Michaels, who spent three years as a
Reds broadcaster in the early nineteen seventies before that, Marty Brenahan character had an
interesting stat and this is almost impossible to consider. In the last twenty five
year, the Bengals on the road at night have played literally twenty five games
total on the road at night in that timeframe. They're one and twenty four.
That's almost impossible. I don't know what to say. The last ten
years they were zero and fourteen. Now they're zero in fifteen and Joe Burrow
himself is now zero in five. So in prime time on the road,
shall we say the Bengals do not shine? Is that fair to say?
In the history of the NFL, it's it's impossible to go on the road
twenty five times and only win one game. They lose ninety six percent of
the time. How's that possible? You might recall them Marvin Lewis era and
some pretty damn good football teams. I think they didn't they go to the
playoffs like five years in a row or something, And wasn't Marvin Lewis like
zero and seven in the playoffs? I think so. And Joe Burrow is
breaking all these records like crazy. But right now things were a bit dark.
Yesterday was bright and sunny, beautiful day, perfect day for golf.
I even considered yesterday after I got off the air to go go to the
friendly confines of the Kenwood Country Club and hit a few balls, I thought,
what is it? Great weather? Today? It's dark and dreary and
rainy and cold and for the next ten days going to be awful. So
maybe we live in such a great community with so many great things happening right
here. Cincinnati, according to every expert, is the best city in Ohio.
But when you compare yourself to Youngstown and Toledo and Dayton, maybe that's
not so good. Nonetheless, our professional sports is about the worst of this.
And tonight you have Lakota West to v. Muller, which is going
to be fabulous tonight. I think Tim Kremchek is probably the orthopedic surgeon for
maybe both teams will find out what happens. So these are dark days and
hopefully we shall recover. Nineteen ninety was the last time Cincinnati set on top
of the sporting world. With the nineteen ninety World Series champion Cincinnati Reds beat
up on the Oakland A's are now going to play baseball in Las Vegas,
and since then things have not been good. In fact, things have been
awful, terrible. You can't make it up. And that's stat last night
from Al Michaels twenty five on the road primetime games. The Bengals are one
and twenty four. I guess now they're one and twenty five. Just can't
win. The lights come on and the Bengals shrink. I'll just shrink.
They can't can't finish a game with who they began with. Mark Andrews is
out too. Who's the Ravens tight end? Looks like he has a serious
ankle injury. And at some point last night it looked like Lamar Jackson was
having problems, but not as much as as Joe Burrow was having. It's
sad, it's awful. But lip readers tell me quote something popped. So
I'm gonna ask doctor Timothy Kremchek in about fifteen minutes, what does that mean
if something pops? Generally, it's never good when something pops. Now.
Secondly, Secondly, yesterday and the day before things have been so embarrassing for
the United States of America. But Joe Biden in charge that the Secretary of
State has had to answer questions about Joe Biden's performance without a teleprompter, referencing
the quality of the leadership of Jijiu Ping, the leader of communists Red China.
And I couldn't care less about a communist who kills millions of his own
people with gun down people in the streets, and Hijauping has done. He's
a communist and he's a mass murderer, is what he is, because are
the Wigers and more. I don't care about that at all. In diplomatic
circles, you don't want to have it so called a successful summit, which
of course it was not a successful summit at all. We got away with
the idea that the that the Chinese military will answer a call. If our
military makes a call, they'll pick it up. Oh great. And they
also have agreed to kill fewer Americans who use fentanyl unwinningly, which is another
issue. Fentanyl now is ubiquitous, it's everywhere. Because of the desire of
the communist Red Chinese and the Mexican drug cartels. They'll hook as many Americans
as possible on synthetic heroines fentanyl and car fentanyl. That's the plan they're doing
it. So the two things coming out of this ridiculous summit in San Francisco
that cleaned up all their crap off the streets to make it look better for
a communist but not for the residents. Nonetheless, if you come out of
a major summon and number one they'll pick up your telephone call. And number
two they promised to kill fewer Americans through the importation of vatanyl and car fentanyl,
is that a great success in your in your way? Is that a
good idea? A great success they'll pick up our telephone calls. Then you
have the Secretary of State Anthony Blincoln just grimacing when Joe Biden is trying to
answer questions as if he knows what he's talking about, and of course we
know he doesn't know what he's talking about. He has no clue. So
insulting the Chinese communist leader, I couldn't care less and all probability he will
spend eternity burning in hill for what he's done on this earth. But what
I can say is that if the great success of this conference involves only answering
a telephone call and secondly, agreeing to kill fewer Americans than in the future
than in the past, I do not consider that to be much of a
success at all, So let's continue. Also coming up later will be the
great Bill who is the leader of the House of Representatives, to talk about
how they're going to change the marijuana laws that we passed that I voted for.
I voted to treat marijuana like alcohol. That's why I voted for well
alcohol like seg Man or Tony Bender. They cannot have a bathtub, Jim.
You can't make your own alcohol and then keep it in your home.
You do the math on these marijuana plants that can grow inside your house starting
December the seventh, between seven and eight thousand joints. What come out of
those plants? Are you kidding me? What's in that marijuana? What is
the THC content, what is added, what is subtracted? And wouldn't that
take away completely from dispensaries who are dispensing a quality product at a reasonable price
knowing what's inside. You can't have that system. So I'm going to take
up with Bill sites that idea, plus the issue of Representative Jennifer Gross of
Butler County that wants to disband the court system in Ohio to make it sure
they can interpret laws. Are you kidding me. Come on, we have
three branches of government. Jennifer Nice try, but that's wrong, and that
comes from a Republican conservative. So we're going to deal with that with Bill
Sites later on. We have a lot of Bangle programming between now and next
Sunday. They have Pittsburgh and the Steelers look terrible on paper, but they
play on grass and the Steelers are six and three doing it with smoking merrors.
So let's continue with more if a line becomes available. Seven four nine,

Uck goes to enter it now all right, Billy Cunningham, the great American,
of course, will continue to analyze exactly the depth of the injury to
Joe Burrow's wrists. And a man that has dealt with thousands and thousands of
wrists, He's dealt with thousands and thousands of calves, more calves than an
Adams County farmer. He also has dealt with all the MCLs, the acls,
the pcls, and also appending surgery and more. That is doctor Timothy
Kremchek, who spent decades as the Reds team physician and doctor Kremchek. Welcome
again to the Bill Cunningham Show, and as a fan, as an orthopedic
surgeon without equal how did you process what happened last night to Joe Burrow?
You know I watched it. Here's what happened. Well, he threw that
ball to mix. He threw it kind of an awkward angle, kind of
almost side armed, and you can see where he I didn't I couldn't tell
if it was his elbow all and they hurt the Tommy Jondo all mclutter ligaman
of the elbow. I'm not saying that's what it is. But when we
watched him try to grip the ball on the sidelines and try to throw,
I mean certainly there was no way and you know anybody that you could see
the grimace on his face. You can see Joe Burrow he would have played
if he could have. The Bengals wanted him to play if he could have.
You know they still were up in that game. You know they had
certainly had a chance, so you know there's something going on. It's significant.
I don't know if it's I hope it's not significant enough for a miss
time, but it was significant. Enough for him not to play the rest
of the game. Is it possible because he has ten days off, Is
it possible it's such an injury that he could he could play against Pittsburgh in
ten days. Oh sure. I mean, here's here's what's going to happen.
And this is what always happens. I don't care if it's the NFL,
NBA, major League Baseball. They'll they'll MRI it, they'll send it
to second opinions, and you know, his agent will send it somebody you
know, probably out in California to take a peek at it, and once
everybody agrees on the diagnosis, and they'll say, okay, is this something
that can cause him permanent damage? I mean needs a to seven a franchise
player turn and seventy five million dollars franchise player. We all know it.
So is there a chance you could make this worse? This could be something
that could be career limiting for him. If it is not, then they'll
find a way to hopefully make it feel better and get him out on the
field. If it is, then they're not going to take a chance.
And I don't blame them. You just can't do it. That would not
now with a fellow like this. So there's a lot that's going to go
on, probably in the next three or four days, for diagnosis, treatment.
Everybody get their minds together, decide, you know, what's best.
Number one for Joe Burrow, number two for the organization, and then I
think some more answers will come out. Doctor Timothy Kremchak moe Egger of our
sports department is a is a lip reader, and according to you reader,
he's reading lips and according to mo at the end of the game, you
might recall there were a couple of times when Joe and the cameras on him
was speaking with Ravens players including Lamar Jackson and Lamar Jackson said what do you
got and according to Moeger, Joe Burrow said, I heard something pop,
And so he said that to two other Ravens if something popped, what does
that mean? Well, that could that could be anything. I mean,
you know, one of the things you think about is the side of the
wrist we call the TFCC. That could that could be a pop. And
the way he rotated his hand certainly, you know, if we're going to
stay with the wrist, you can you'll injure and hear a pop in some
of the ligaments around the wrist area. Make sure it's not coming from his
elbow. Again, I'm not one hundred percent sure, and everybody's saying and
it probably feels like it could be his wrist or even the inside ligament of
his thumb. He was grabbing that football. You could actually see how he
was grimacing trying to, you know, bring that thumb out. So again,
scans tests, uh, second, third, fourth, opinions, and
then a diagnosis and a treatment plan. But I wouldn't expect that to happen
and anybody to know much over the next couple of days, maybe not even
to the beginning of the week. Doctor Timothy Kremchuk, You've worked on thousands
of arms and wrists and elbows, things of that character. There was some
speculation by the announcers last night al Michaels that his elbow was hurting him,
that he kind of grabbed his elbow as he tried to throw on the sideline.
He came he kind of came forward and just couldn't throw the ball at
all. Because could he have an elbow problem caused by the wrist problem.
Could those two things be related. Yeah, absolutely, there's no question about
it. When you hear a pop, I mean, that's very that's one
of the things we hear. And when I see a lot of these baseball
players and the inside part of their elbow. And again, if you go
back and watch the video of him throwing that touchdown pass to mix him,
he kind of threw sideways, and you know, again that was that was
a look that actually Joe Bick, one of the Major League Baseball agents of
Cincinnati, called me and he said, that's the look that I see when
these kids hurt their elbows. So certainly that could be an issue too.
Again, this is all gonna have to He'll get everything scarned. You know,
is in the NFL works, And old Jack McKeon used to tell me,
he said, Doc, we got a problem this year. We got
more MRIs and RBIs, so you know, and in Football League, well,
in the National Football League, I guarantee they're not sparing any expense,
especially at a guy like Joe Burrow to work him up adequately and number one,
make an accurate diagnosis. And then again, you've got to save him.
I mean, he's the guy's gonna be around for the next ten years
and is our franchise player. So we have to be very very careful and
not you know, not see just to front of us, but see down
the road. And you know, the Bengals medical staff will do that to
qualified people. They're ben a raut for a long time. And again there'd
be a lot of people that will get involved with this U, you know,
especially his representatives, and that's just the way professional sports are today.
But we will mo soon. Hopefully it's nothing bad. Hopefully it's nothing surgical,
and hopefully yeah, and they say there's a chance absolutely if there's nothing
ripped or torn and he just kind of felt then you know, maybe pop
or give or in it's sprained. Sure there's a chance he could play.
But again, the Bengals are not going to take a chance with the chip
Man. I wouldn't doctor Timothy Krampchuk. I think I compare him to like
a Ken Griffy junior who came here in the year two thousand as perhaps the
greatest baseball player of the nineteen nineties and maybe of all time, and spent
some time here. He pulled and everything at every knee, every elbow,
every he had injuries. Nobody ever heard of before, and he was never
able to live out his manifest destiny. He was a pretty good center fielder,
but I think Mike Cameron did as well in Seattle as Jen Griffy Junior
did here the greatest of all time. I think he was an All Star
once or twice. After that, that was it we get. Joe Burrow
had the greatest college football season of all time. I think he threw fifty
touchdown passes. LSU went nuts. Beat everybody come here with all the glory,
kind of like Carson Palmer, and all of a sudden, right we've
had things happen like an ACL and a pc L and an mc L,
and then we had uh, we had surgeries on his appendix that that thing
goes awry, and then we have defficulties with a calf muscle. It was
a non context, just taking a step, and all of a sudden he
tore his calf muscle, and now we got either a wrist or an elbow,
god knows what else. And so do you think we're cursed, No,
we're not cursed, Kenyan Martin though John Carter, no, I don't
think so. I think you know this, This stuff happens in the sport.
If it's not Joe Burrow, it's somebody else of the team, we're
not talking about it as much. Uh, And these guys come back.
I mean, look look at the guys that have torn their acls and done
all that stuff last year that came back to the team. You know,
Joe Burrow is a gamer. I mean everything I've heard, and I don't
know him, but everything I've heard about him from from multiple people that know
him quite well, he's a gamer. He's in great shape. He takes
his profess, his profession very seriously. You know, we I don't think
we're cursed. I think this is a little bit of bad luck. But
young guy's gonna be around for a long time and you know, hopefully this
isn't too serious. Again, all of us that are fans while watching were
sick to our stomach thinking we're going to be awful if he's pot and you
know, the interest isn't there every time he picks up the ball and the
Bengals play, Now everybody's the whole city shuts down that it did in the
nineteen eighty eight, nineteen eighty one, remember those years. Yeah, there
were awesome. A couple of years ago. Yeah, so you know what,
Ultimately he's gonna Ultimately he's gonna be fine. The question is going to
be, you know what's it going to take to do it? And again
they're not going to tell you if he's out in the field, you better
believe that this is nothing that can cannot get worse. They're just not going
to risk that. There's just no chance they're going to do that. So
I think people can rest assured with that. But I hope to see him
against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh no, not good. I mean, you know,
like the city, it's bad. I mean Pittsburgh's bad. I mean it's
bad ever since Terry Bradshaw. When I was a kid, it went down
underneath the tunnel and I was with my brand new Converse gym shoes and he's
spit on it. I don't think he spit on me on purpose, but
I had a loogia my shoe that didn't go away forever. I think those
you got that one right. Wow. When he's draped around Elsie Greenwood,
Joe Green white white homes, Oh, I didn't say anything. Instead of
them throwing you a football jersey like a coke commercial and Terry Bradshall spit on
Timothy kremchecks shoes. That's not good. Got that one right, and it
was it was it was a thick one. So yeah, that's just one
of those things that you just never leave your mind. No, you'll never
favorite team. No, all right. Lastly, Uh, if it's a
soft tissue injury, here we are Friday afternoon, next game is about nine
days away. Uh, assuming it's not surgery. Uh, is the worst
scenario for him to miss one game against Pittsburgh? Is that the worst scenario?
Yeah? I think it's going to be you know that, make the
diagnosis, make sure nothing's going to get worse if he continues to play,
and it's going to be week to week and see what he can do and
how he can function. But again, we know that if he's not going
to hurt something worse. Joe Burrow at eighty seventy percent, just the way
he sees the ball, plays the game, corrals the players, you know,
commands the game. He's he's better than anybody else we've found, or
anybody else we could get. So I think you know that would be We're
all going to be anxiously waiting for his Uh. You know for the definition
of what's wrong and kind of a plan forward. I think, all right,
doctor Timothy Crown, Wait a second, let's hit this Lakota West and
Moeller tonight. That's a big one. That's bigger than Montana right there,
Because who do you like in that? I'll tell you what. I'll take
Lakota West and I'll give you Muller for a hot fudge Sunday from Greaters.
How about that. I'll bet you on it. But I'm a Lakota West
fan too. I want to know that quite a team this year, oh
my goodness. And the coach, Tommy Bowlden, is a Wittenberg Tiger like
I am. Oh well, I mean I don't know that. We stick
together pretty well, no question. So yeah, he coached them. They're
good team, good defense, good teams can be a that's bigger than Montana,
right, yeah. Absolutely, they start the courtA West started off zhing
two and they you know, Princeton beat him early on and then they beat
Princeton last week. They've got a team, they've got to They put together
an unbelievable program up there. They really have. It's gonna be a great
game. Now, it might be a little rainy, a little cold,
but well that's football. That's football. Well, no, I'm not going
to be there on you know. I well, I have matters to attend
tonight. I have an event in Warren County I gotta go to. But
Tommy Bolden was that Cole Rain extremely well, Cole Rain is now zero and
ten. He goes Lakota West. Wherever he goes, it looks like championship
football follows Tom Bull. Would you agree Bolden can coach, He can coach,
he can motivate, he can coach, he can develop an entire program.
He's done that. The culture has changed, the culture is unbelievable.
Lakota West. So again, I'm a bowler guy, don't get me wrong.
All of the Crusaders as you well know. But it's gonna be a
great game. I mean when they played last year was a great game.
Oh give me an update, send me a text or somewhere and let me
know who's winning the game. And I'm more than happy. It's eight o'clock
eight, eight thirty something like that. Then I won't touch after eight.
Then after eight, please, I'll be watching Bright Bart bright Bart TV.
So all right, Tim kramcheck more MRIs than RBIs. That's a problem.
So you like that. That's a pretty good line, right there, Doctor
Timmy V. Kramcheck of Beacon Orthopedic, thank you very much. AhR,
buddy, God bless America. Let's continue with more. There are from the
horse's mouth. He's seen a few MRIs in his day, but he's kind
of saying that in a week or two he'll be back. We hope that's
the case. On News Radio seven hundred WLW, did you know that if

I look forward to having the state champion Moller High School football team to come
in here in about two or three weeks after they win it all, I
guess in Canton, but until then. David Portnoy is a founder of Barstool
Sports. He put a massive bet on one NFL team about ten days ago
to win the Super Bowl. He bet sixty seven thousand dollars on that team
to go all the way with Ted McKay. He bet on the Cincinnati Bengals
about ten days ago to win the Super Bowl sixty seven, and to back
that up yesterday afternoon, David Portnoy bet one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
on the Bengals to win last night's game. Now, part of the process
of picking winners and losers is the known fact that NFL teams must notify the
league about any potential injuries that a player has that may keep them from playing
at the highest level. Takes away the ability of individual players of those around
the team to have insider scoop inside information that would move lines and make it
easier or harder for other people to win. So it wouldn't be fair to
have some assistant trainer or something like that working with the Bengals knowing that the
star running back, for example, might be hurt can't play at high at
levels, while the rest of the betting world doesn't know that. In this
case, it appears likely that Joe Burrow had some injury to his right wrist,
his throwing wrist before the game, because he got off the team bus
before the game wearing a brace. Some called it a cast. So David
Portnoy at some point in the middle of the second quarter last night, was
quite pleased as the touchdown passed from Joe Burrow to Joe Mixon successful and the
Bengals took a short lived lead. And I think correct me if I'm wrong.
I think the Bengals got They were plus three and a half or four,
So at that point he was he was flying with one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars win on the Bengals. But then it came out later on
in the game about the cast or the support to his right wrist, and
David Portnoy, and I'm sure millions of others lost serious money betting on the
Bengals. So because we live in a litigious society. David Portnoy now is
saying he's gonna sue the Cincinnati Bengals and others for this injury non disclosure before
the game. Wow one thirty Helmier Bengals News Radio seven hundred WLW Cincinnati News

I'm not discouraged about whether the season's headed after this game. So these guys
are gonna stick together. We're gonna we're gonna take the long weekend here in

speaking after last night's thirty four to twenty loss in Baltimore that saw quarterback Joe
Burrow leave before the half with an injury. It looked like a sprained your
wrist, so fell in it early in the game and then felt it on
the teshlow pass. However, the NFL is reportedly investigating after the Bengals had
posted an johnline that showed Burrow with some sort of covering on his wrists Wednesday
night. That post was later deleted ESPN. NFL insider Adam Schefter says the
league wants to know why the Bengals wouldn't have listed Burrow on their injury report.
Fifteen thirty ESPN and seven hundred. Wlw's Austin Elmore has just posted a
video on the X platform from the Bengals Instagram count that shows Burrow making practice
throws on the field in Baltimore with nothing on that hand, not showing any
signs of serious injury. That video, posted prior to last night's game,

Okay, all right, thanks a lot for being here. Hello,
I'm just I'm broadcast. Girls. Listen up from Summit. This is a
song you will be hearing for the rest of your life. We have the
Summit Girls stayed undefeated, untied, on scored off sober nights. While you're
here, Coach uh Mike Fee, I love to hear the word fee as
an attorney. I like fee. Mike Fee makes a lot of money.
So uh, before we get to coach, sit back segment. Hit it
and listen. Don't pay attention to Freddie Mercury by the way, ladies hit
it all right, Coach, describe what happened from Summit. It's tough.
It's that the championship game. Anything can happen. A kick here, a
kick there. Mueller High School probably had the greatest boys soccer team of all
time, but didn't win the big game at the end. Correct, they
lost in peek. Tell us what happened with these girls you brought into four
seniors from Summit. Well, we went in a game knowing we're playing a
really good team. Rocky River was undefeated. They were twenty three and oh
they had to scored one hundred and fifty one goals in the season and fifty
one goals in the season. Or Lean Score had fifty nine goals in the
season. Arlene Score had fifteen coming into the game, fifteen fifty nine goals.
Yep, I double team her kind of like Jamar Chase. We were
so good too on her. We were so good defensively. We did We
just man marked her. We got got one defender on her back and did
let her turn. Wherever she goes, you go. She has d week.
Whatever she was, whoever is close enough to her picked her up.
Put two or three or four, get four or five on her. Oh,
we're good enough, just one one. But the best part of it
they were held to three shots on gold entire game, three shots on goal
and the goaltenders in Chinese calculus class. She's really smart and they brought in
the senior She signed with FC Cincinnati. I think a huge as a third
goalkeeper, kind of like Joe Burrow. Did you see the game last night?
Coach? Did we did? What'd you think it's gonna be rough?
Moving forward? Well, these girls are now living under the sign of the
Bengal. It's not good because Joe Burrow, remember Ken Griffy, Junior,
Carson Palmer, Kenyon Martin. It always happens in Cincinnati introduced these girls,
Coach, tell us about how to do. So we've got four of our
seniors year today, two of her captains and two others with us UH senior
captain Louis Martin, who was a center back and was the one that really
helped us shut down to the microphone, Well, Lily described, were you
on that star player for Rocky River? We knew going in she was gonna
be unreal because I mean, who in the world has sixty goals on a
season? Nobody exactly, And we knew just we'd have to shut her down
and lock her up. I mean, she was an incredible player. We
had played a girl before that who also had like, how many did some
of these libers? Fifty four goals? So we had we had been challenged,
We had played some incredible players. But were you We were on her
like like red on a rose, You're just you were just owner, right,
I mean that was that was my job. I mean it wasn't.
It was just a lot of man and man defense. At that point,
we understood our role and we kind of just decided. We were like,
Okay, we're gonna make sure they don't shut her down. I mean we
did in the end. Yeah, what was the final score of the championship
game? One to zero? You shut her down at the end the last
five minutes. What happened? So much tension and pressure. You couldn't stand
up, you couldn't talk, you couldn't do anything. No, at the
end of the game, when everybody was celebrating, we barely ran like we
were just we couldn't. Did you like kicker in the shins a little bit?
Maybe tripper? We didn't. You could have tripped her a couple We
could have give her an elbow and to side something like that. No,
we try to play clean, but you tried to, but you didn't.
We were really really tired at the end, but we pulled through and it
was really fun. What's the capital of the state of Kentucky? Frankfurt coach
introduced the next player. That girl smart right there. They're all smart,

Unfortunately, Sammy was hurt the entire season. Sammy up here, you don't
like John Burrow, tell me about Samwy. Did you play in the last
game? No? I did not. Did you cheer on because you were
hurt? Yes? I did. You were like Ken Griffy or what was
the sense of the game? Because Summit's won a couple of times in the
past. But you get one chance for glory. You may become a butcher,
a baker, a candlestick maker. You may be a lawyer, a
doctor, a mother. You may become a wife, you may do all
the great things in life, have a good family, but you'll never have
a chance to play your senior year at Summit and win the state title even
though you were on the injured reserve list. What did it mean to you?
I mean, it was great to see, like the rest of the
team get that opportunity because, like you said, it doesn't happen very long.
It's never happened again, never happened. I was just super excited for
the rest of the team. What's the square root of thirty six? Sex
coach introduced the next lady. I'm gonna pull up Maggie McDowell here here she

but broke her leg in the district finals. It really had heavilther players step
up, knowing that that she was our energizers of Bunny the entire season.
So you didn't have your best score for the championship game. We did not
What kind of injury did you suffer? Was it like an appendent, sitist?
Was it an acl was it a bad rist? What was it?
So I broke my fibula, and I disloked my tibia, and I tore
two ligaments. Other than that, other than that house your leg, So
it's intact. I got a lot of new metal, though I had to
get surgery two weeks ago. You're going to go on to college. Yeah,
I'm gonna be playing at Trian University. It's way up in engl Indiana,
like forty five minutes past. Close enough your family can come see you
play. Oh yeah, that was like one of the most important things for
me when I was looking out of college. Now, as far as the
injury itself, this had to be terribly not physically but emotionally. How did
they weigh upon you the top scorer for someone couldn't play in the big game.
I knew that there was people that were definitely gonna step up. I
mean I would talk to a couple of the girls that were starting and I
was like, I mean, you know how important this game is, but
you know that you can score, And they all kind of pulled together and
did it. I mean I was the leading scorer, but there are a
few girls that had ten twelve goals, So it wasn't like I was doing
all the work there. It wasn't a one trick pony. Yeah, you
had other ponies ready to do their tricks. Oh yeah. So I was
just happy that a lot of people could step up. Who is the mayor
of the City of Cincinnati, cur of Ale. That's it right there,
very good. Next up, and the last girl here went not Bella.
So this is Bella Desmond. She was our starting forward in the team.
And she's got the trophy. She's got the harder one, you got the
money, she's got every strongest one. So she had to carry that trophy
off away from the parking lot. Chi can bench pressed three hundred pounds.
What was your role in the final game. Well, I was the starting
forward and I just wanted to help the team win and try to get as
much offensive opportuit as we possibly could. Did you do it? Did to
kick the ball to the right player at the right time so they could score
the goal. Well, I was not in on no, Well, I
was in. It was actually off of a corner that we scored. So
who scored the goal? Zoe Jackson? Zoe, and she's a junior,
sophomore, sophomore, and she scored. People went nuts. Was it a
header to use an elbow, a foot of hip? What did she use?
I mean, honestly, there's a lot of chaos and THEO at the
times politics, but chaos. We have chaos everywhere too. So you don't
know what you don't know how it happened. No, it just happens.
Then when it happened, what did the team do? Go nuts? Free
nuts? Ends on the field. It was crazy. Are you going to
go to college? I am Where are you going to go? If anywhere?
Honestly, I'm not really sure yet. So you're like a free agent.
You need a scholarship, you need no money, you need it all
did cars That's what you need to go. So you're not sure yet,
not yet. Who's the governor of Ohio? Mike Dwain? Correct night there,

Bengals go down thirty four to twenty, Joe Burrow suffering that sprained right wrist
in the second quarter. The National Football League is investigating why the Bengals did
not list Burrow on their injury report this week over his wrist ailment. But
at the beginning in practice, he's firing that ball around like crazy. But
it must have been on that sack. He fell on it and that was
when he was hurt. But he had the cast on before the game.
You're right, he had a soft cast on the right hand and then they
later deleted the post. Consciousness stay to be a Bengal fan, thank you.
That was consciousness of guilt by the Bengals. Would you agree? Well,
somebody David portnoy a bar still sports bet one hundred and twenty five thousand
dollars in the Bengals last night and he lost one hundred and twenty five thousand.
Now he's suing the National Football League, the Bengals at all because they
didn't disclose the injury. What's up? You put a bet on or so?
What? No, you're rolling shut your mouth, is what I would
say. Let's see. Also WILLI College Football, of course, John Hart
or Jim Harball has accepted that suspension. He's not going to coach tomorrow against
Maryland or Ohio State. Michigan today fired their linebacker coach Chris Partridge, stemming
from a lack of cooperation in the investigation he allegedly destroyed computer evidence. What
and a booster named Uncle T A booster named Uncle t allegedly funded part of
Connor Stallion's scouting operation. Coach, Who do you think is taking over as
Michigan's linebacker coach? Coach? Are you available? I know who taking a
job? Rick Menner's got it right. The defensive coordinator at Michigan is Jesse
Minter. Former the head coach, Rick Mentor will serve with Michigan for the
rest of the season. Possibly David might get a ring. Do you scout
your opponents? Is it legal for you to send some person to scout your
next opponent? In that legal Yeah? Absolutely, we sent We send scouts
out all over, he saying, I think it's a stupid rule. I
mean, you can't scout your opponent. I don't know what well, I
like to know what was what I want to know. I don't care much
for Michigan at all. Some of the ugliest girls I've ever met went to
Michigan. But nonetheless, let's face it, if you scout your opponent,
is that like a senator crime? I mean, and then you put it
in a how do you do that? How do you how do you put
it in a computer and then work it where this and that and then all
of a sudden if they do this, this, this is the signal I
don't know to me, to me, Michigan is a terrible place. It's
cold, Detroit's there that's awful, and the girls are ugly. Okay,

sophomore really freshmen. Yep, yep, so they covered is not bear.
When these four studs leave Summit, You're gonna have others to step up.
We're gonna miss these four and four seniors tremendously, but I think we're gonna
be in good shape. So in other words, you predict another state title.
It's tough to predict. Tough to predict. She says yes, So
when he says yes, then it's gonna happen. Well, what division is
Summit and what division is Sinceni Country Day? Weird? Division two? CCD
is Division three. So really you should beat them every year because they're a

Crawford saying see you next week. Have you girls ever heard of Broderick Crawford?
No coach, Thank you, congratulations, Thanks you very much. Seven
hundred WLW. Nothing says welcome home like insanely clean carpets from Zero's Carpet and
Erdak cleaning limited time three rooms of carpet clean only one twenty nine when you
mentioned me, Bill Cunningham, easily scheduled cleaning online. Zero s Sincy Zero
s Sincy dot com. Has your foundation cracked or shifted? If and talk
about what's happening in Columbus with abortion, also with marijuana and more, and
the man in charge of the House of Representatives for the last quarter of a
century. He's been a senator, a representative. He's hanging up his spurs.
About a year from now is Bill Sites of Western Hills and Green Township,
Bill Sites, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham shown. First of all,
before we talk about abortion and marijuana and getting drunk, I want to
talk about Joe Burrow. What was your sense yesterday when Joe Burrow wasn't able
to play? Oh hell, was breaking loose? Kind of what did Bill
sites go through? Well, well, you know, my heart sank when
I saw him go out, and I actually turned it off at halftime when
we're down twenty one to ten. I said, well, we've been bangalized
again, born under a bad time, and I just hope Joe was able
to recover quickly because we need him. We've got a real narrow path to
get to the playoffs. And this from a team that everybody was talking about
as a Super Bowl contender two months ago. So it was really kind of
a shame, and I hope he gets better in a big hurry. Don't
care for Kajana Carter or any of the any Bengal players in the past.
Simba go about all the way back to Greg Cook, great Cook, who
I listened him about a week ago Matt Reese put him on about an interview
between him and Bob Trumpy. Great Cook, the greatest quarterback of all time,
injures his shoulder. From that point on, I just feel like we're
in a portallet and people keep sitting down. That's what I feel like,
no matter what happens, and the glory is there. And I put out
a month ago as Joe Burrow bengalized and the answer might be yes, But
I say, keep hope alive. Let's go back into your Bailey Wick.
Marijuana smoking is something that I voted in favor of that, assuming that the
legislature would actually change it around the edges. And the more I get into
it, the more I know there must be significant changes. But keep the
will of the people. Can you tell the American people what the House of
Representatives is going to do with marri Jojuana? We need to do be according
to Tony Bender, sure, I mean, look, the people voted to
legalize recreation marijuana. They did that through something called an initiated statute. That
statute becomes part of the Ohio Revised Code, just like all the other laws
that we do as a legislature, and we call it the Revised Code for
a reason. It can be revised. We are not, I don't think,
going to invalidate the statute or repeal it. The voters have spoken clearly.
However, there's probably at least five issues that need to be grappled with
as we move forward that we're in this long statute that I think need to
be corrected, starting with the idea that it permits folks to grow marijuana at
home without paying tax, without being inspected, without assurance that the product is
pure. Now they say, well, that's just for personal use. Well,
let's talk about that one plant I'm told produces one hundred and fifty joints.
You're allowed twelve plants a husband and wife in your home. One hundred
and fifty times twelve is one eight hundred joints, and you get four cops
a year out of marijuana. You can raise your twelve plants and basically a
quarter. So eighteen hundred times four is seven thousand, two hundred joints.
Now, who needs seven thousand, two hundred joints for your own personal use?
Und tax? And what worries me is that it will be pervaded on
the black market and risks being laced with monkey dust or fentanyl or something else
that happens. And so I really think we need to sharply restrict the homegrow
provisions of this statue Number one, Number two, the tax rate it will
be when you buy it legally through a dispensary, you'll pay sales tax,
and you will pay a ten percent X size tax on top of the sale
tax. Is that enough? Some people say no, we should have a
higher exercise tax. I'm sort of indifferent about that, because if the tax
is too high, people will continue to just patronize the black market, and
that's what we do not want them to do. But that's an issue.
The use of the funds that we raise through the tax is another good question.
Some of the proposed uses are fine for like mental health and addiction services,
but a big chunk of it is for some vague and ambiguous social equity
program for disadvantaged people, and nobody knows quite what that is. But many
of us, on all sides of the isle, believe we could come up
with a more pressing need to fund than that, be it police training,
be it jail construction, be it all kinds of great ideas for what we
might do with the money other than that, So that's an issue. Then
we have this crazy issue in the statute that the voters voted for for the
THC content of recreational marijuana that's the active ingredient, as you know in pot,
to be higher than what we allow for the medical marijuana program that we've
had for the last six or seven years. And it seems to me that's
precisely backwards. The people that are really sick, racked with pain, have
cancer, et cetera, they should get the higher dosage of the active ingredient
than the stoners sitting around on the weekend smoking a joint. So I think
that needs attention to at least equalize the THC contents as between medical marijuana and
recreational marijuana. So there's that, and then finally, Phil the whole question
of should we really allow marijuana to be sold to be smoked. I mean,
we've had a fifty year war on cigarette smoking, pipe smoking, cigars
smoking. Do we really want people smoking it when we've been saying that smoking
is harmful to your health. We can do it through vape. We can
do it through edimals, we can do it through oils, we can do
it through tinctures. All of that is how we do it in the medical
program. And it seems to me that's a safer way to ingest marijuana than
by smoking it. So those are some of the issues that we may,
as you say, tinker around the edges, but we don't need to do
it immediately. And why is that? You're gonna tell me, Well,
the bill becomes effective December seventh, a day that we'll live in infamy.
Yeah, it does become effective on December seventh, but it will be at
least six months to twelve months before they can stand up the whole recreational marijuana
program, Before the dispensaries will start selling it, before the inspections are made,
before the purity tests are run, before the rules are written. All
of that will take six months to twelve months, so that the only two
things that will happen on December seventh are number one, people can start their
home growth plant the little seeds in the ground. And number two, the
possession of two and a half ounces of pot or left will be legal.
Currently that's a minor misdemeanor, but it will become outright legal on December seventh.
So that's the only things that will really happen on December seventh. And
I believe we should take our time and look at these other issues that I've
mentioned to you and do have some hearings and find out what the right answer
is rather than rush something to judgment that may not be correct. That's my
view. Representative Bill Sitz, you're making a lot of sense, which is
unfortunate. Let's kind of break down where it is when you talk about THC
hire for medical pot. Why would someone buy marijuana medically in the state of
Ohio when this thing's operational, when you get recreational, why would somebody?
Doesn't this eliminate completely medical marijuana because why get your card and go through the
process when you can get it recreationally anyway. Yeah, it is certainly going
to deal a blow to the existing medical marijuana program. But there is some
talk about adjusting tax rates, adjusting THC content to let medical marijuana still have
a space in the overall market by giving medical marijuana some competitive advantages compared to
recreational marijuana. That there is some talk about that, So that's one of
the things that needs to be looked at. Frankly, I voted for medical
marijuana back when we did it seven years ago, and I was working very
assiduously on a great bill that was going to strengthen our medical marijuana program Senate
Bill nine pending over in the set as we speak. But you're right,
when people can get the recreational marijuana without getting any kind of doctor's recommendation,
my guess is a lot of them are going to go that route. I
think that's true. Well, you got to saddle up next to Governor Mike
Dewan. I had him on a week ago and he said, like December
seventh, we got to get this done by So I'm sure you your adults
can work that out. Uh. As far as smoking or edibles, I'm
told by the stoners at EBN that part of the process of smoking pot is
holding it in your hand, sucking it in, rolling around your nose and
your lungs, blowing it back out. That it's the glory of smoking marijuana.
They enjoy that more than edibles. Can you comment on that the glories
of the stoners at EBN. Well, well, as a farmer cigarette smoker,
you know, I quit smoking after fifty years on August the second of
this year. And that's the same argument that people make about why they like
cigarettes. Something to do with your hands. We like the smoke, we
like the nail it, that like to breathe it in. You know,
well, twenty four states have it. Why don't you rely upon what the
other states are doing? That makes sense? You know, a great constitutional
lawyer told me that these states are laboratories at democracy and what works in Minnesota,
you can look at Minnesota, which is a terrible place to live on
mine end. But nonetheless and say, okay, and take the best of
the other twenty four states. How about that idea. Well, that's a
good idea. And I will say that some of those ideas are already incorporated
in what we voted on, because Michigan and Colorado, to name just two,
have gone completely overboard in allowing so many dispensaries on every street corner.
Almost it's too many dispensaries. We're going to have in Ohio, We're going
to have a restricted number of dispensaries. It's still going to be plenty of
dispensaries. I believe the number is something like three hundred dispensaries statewide, So
it's not like you'll have to drive fifty miles to find one. But still,
in all you don't necessarily want this to be on every single street corner.
Localities will still be able to say they don't want a dispensary in their
community. They'll still be able to do that. That's a good change.
As I say, it will be inspected, it will he've grown in Ohio.
It will be inspected in Ohio. It will be tested for purity in
Ohio. Those are all good attributes of a good marijuana program, be it
medical or recreational, and we're going to adhere to that. I just want
to be sure that when the customer gets recreational pot in Ohio, they know
that it's been tested and it's not adulterated. Now, we don't let we
don't let people make bathtub gin. For God's sake, all right, you
have to buy that at the state liquor store. Right. A lot of
Kentucky and so Tony Bender tells me that bathtub gin is a big item in
Boone County. But I say, you live in Ohio, don't live in
Kentucky. You can't make your own boots. No. No. In the
name of this group that put issue too on the palot, it was called
the Coalition to Regulate Marijuana like Alcohol. There you go, Okay, regulate
marijuana like alcohol. We don't let people make bath dub gin because you know
back in the day what they did, They sold it and a lot of
people went blind drinking that stuff. So we want to make sure the product
is safe. We want to make sure the product is not adulterated with other
drugs that are very, very much more serious than Pott. I know that's
my principal goal. Now, lastly, this will work out. We have
a state representative named Gross in Butler County, the home of our mutual good
friend Richard K. Jones. You know, I sleep with an Appella judge,
and she has floated the idea of having the legislature take away the court
system in the state of Ohio so that the judges cannot rule on constitutionality.
Do you stand with Gross or do you oppose Gross? Well, Jennifer Gross
is a very ardent right to life person, but she's not a lawyer,
and the proposal that she floated last week is not being taken seriously by anybody
because it went upend the principle of judicial review, which has been around since
Chief Justice John Marshall first announced it in Marbury versus Madison in eighteen o three.
So, you know, some things you just cannot do. I understand
why Jennifer is upset about Issue one and the fact that it passed. I
understand that a lot of right to like people are upset by that. But
you don't just throw out the baby with the bathwater. We are going to
have to respect the will of the voters on that question, at least for
a time, and then we'll all have to sit back and see how far
do the pro aborts want to take their new constitutional right. Are they going
to challenge our existing laws on parental notifications, on making the woman get an
ultrasound so that she can see at the baby, or the rules about informed
consent to an abortion, the rules that require fetal remains to be appropriately interred,
the waiting periods that are involved before you can get an abortion, and
whether the state will be able to continue its policy of not paying for abortion
if the left tries to invalidate those things because it's an interference or a burden
on the abortion right. At some point the public might say, well,
gee, maybe Issue one did go too far way beyond row, like many
of us were saying it did so, But that's way down the road.
Bill, I don't see that happening anytime in twenty twenty four. I'm not
going to say when, if ever, we might revisit that question constitutionally,
but it certainly won't be soon. Well, sadly, we get the government
we deserve, and that concerns me greatly. State Representative Bill Sides thanks for
setting Jennifer Gross straight. We got homegrown use of tax dollars, THC,
content, smoked or edibles. Many issues, resolve them all and Bill sides
once again. You don't have another further comment to make. No, No,
I was going to say this. There's always plenty of stuff to do
up in Columbus. I bet for people that really want to roll up their
sleeves and get into the nitty gritty details. And that's what I've been doing
for a long time. And the stoners tell me they like to smoke it,
they like to roll it, they like to look at it, they
like to light it, they like to smell. That's what the stoners tell
me, So kind of keep that whatever it is, the price of recreational
has got to be close to the price of the black market. Otherwise people
are going to stay in the black market. And just keep that in mind.
Well, you're right, and we've got to make sure that kids cannot
get access, right, that's another concern. The Governor's raised nothing in this
statue to allow kids to do it, so that's good, but there may
be other restrictions on how it's advertised that we might look at to be sure
that we're not enticing children into a life of marijuana inhalation and some sort of
cheech and chong scene in the back of a car. We don't like that.
I don't want that, all right, great great movie. Bill sides
once again, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you,
Bill. Bill. Continue, And that guy's leaving office in about a
year. We're gonna miss him greatly. I understand Jennifer gross well intended,
but damn it, it's illegal. But don't don't tell a lawmaker about the
law. Let's continue with more. Bill Cunningham, News Radio seven hundred.
That ULW there are a few things more wonderful in life than intimacy. But
when a rectile dysfunction harms intimacy, it can look his risk that will likely
require surgery and require him to be up for us this season. So we're
still gathering more information on that, but that that seems to be where's headed
right now. So that's the news. And and uh, you know,
just talking guys on the team. Excited rally round Jake, And We've got
a lot of great players on this team, and so I'm excited to see
this team early band together for these last seven weeks and and find a way,
you know, and so uh works out for that opportunity, but obviously
disappointed for Jill. How did you hold the conclusion that it was all that
play the folds? That's that's the best guess, you know. You just
see how he landed, clowning, kind of lands on top of him,
and in the way that he cut his wrist, you know, for him
to throw the way he did before that, and then the next play,
I'll be able to really grab the ball. That seems to make most sense.
Is it a certain part in the Did you even see it in the
moment and he's tall the next play normal? Yeah, no, didn't didn't
you know? And I don't even know that he I can't answer for him,
but obviously through it and you can tell us he's kind of throwing it.
He can feel it as he's throwing that ball, and the ball really
dies on a mix him makes a good catch for touchdown that In conversations with
him, did he say it all he'd heard in the Houston game? And
practice like that last night, practice foil all week, which is great to
warm ups, and so now everything was goods are all I guess you're all
waiting for basically other confirmation that Yeah, I think just talking to more about
just making sure we got all the information before you make that final decision on
something. But appears to be the way it's trying to talk to show I
did, and it is how to see and winner. Yeah, as well
as you can. Obviously very disappointed because he likes leading this team and and
knows the opportunities that lie in front of us. But again he he's responding
in a positive matter. You can only control what you can control, and
his his next step for us is continuing to lead this team, just in
a different way and assisting Jake and in trust that he'll be able to do
that and help us, help us be fine moving forward. Uh today is
you know again, well that comes with gathering the information and if there's a
potential surgery. I don't know how all that plays into it, but right
now, Yes, what was he wearing the regulars? I don't know,
that's totally unrelated to what this was. A lot of our guys were different
compression things on the plane, but again that's that's something he did. Was
you know if it was either race or was it No? I don't know
exactly what it was, but totally unrelated to what this was. How common
is that, especially on road tricks. I see you guys wearing that stuff
all all the time, you know, on different body parts, and I
haven't made it a point to ask them all about it every time they do
it. Circumstances get get Nicole. What do you look for in your leaders
going forward? Well, I think what's comforting is you look at our team,
all the great talent and all the great players we have on this team,
and sure, this is adversy, it's it's not foreign to our team,
you know, over the last several years and even this year, and
so it's exciting to see guys, guys rally around each other and rally around
Jake playing quarterback his first opportunity to do this. And I'm excited to see
this team respond and and I feel energy. Obviously, it's it's you know,
it's it's tough to see your starting quarterback, who's as good as Joe
Burrow as go down that. That's that's tough. But it's proud of the
way the guys responded and proud of the way that they've they've carried themselves today,
and I think this this obviously, this this longer weekend comes at a
good time for us to chance to regroup and get healthy and come back next
week and get ready to attack Pittsburgh. And so I've really liked what I've
seen from these guys. Again, We've got a lot of talent on this
roster, and this season is far from over, and I'm excited to see
how the guys respond next week. This happened in week eleven three years ago.
You know, which, what do you learn as a coach when quarterback
of that caliber post down handle the team like you said, what you said
to the team? What did you learn? Well, it's it's this is
why how you built the locker room matters most. And I feel like we've
got a strong locker room as we've ever had with the character of the leadership
and the strength at each position that we have to be able to respond the
right way. And that's what you learn is when you lose a player,
it's time for other guys to step up and continue to step up. And
and you know, felt like we'd hit a really good stride there. We
had a tough five days, you know, where we dropped two games,
one on the last second field goal and one on the road on a short
week against a good team, and confident that this team is going to bounce
back the respond the right way. What a guy like Joe who leads so
much to the city and the fan base here and a guy who's you're the
growth close went over the year city adversity that he's had the appect the calf
And now that how tough is that for you to have to watch that.
It's unfortunate to see a guy who works as hard as he does, you
know that the time and energy he puts into his body and making sure he's
as best for this this organization. You know it it kills you to watch
somebody have to go through this, you know, several times now, and
that's football. You know. You look around the league and and this is
something that happens to the quarterbacks. Quarterbacks are going to deal with this kind
of stuff and and uh now it's on the rest of the team to kind
of rally around each other and then find a way out of this this positively.
You know, it's hard, it's difficult to get that news. But
my interactions with them face to face is obviously disappointed it's happened, but apologetic
to me. I can't had any control over this, you know, it's
it's an injury, that's what happens because he wants to be out there with
the guys. But trust you know, I just saw from the quarterback room.
He's in there helping Jake and a j right now, so confident that
he will help us any way. Can certain surgeries for depending on all of
that, you're expected to make a full of country. Yes, that's the
positive thing about this type of surgery is that guys come back and able to
hit the ground running, you know where he left off. And so I'm
not going to put into a timeline right now before before we have all the
information. But that's the encouraging part is this is something guys respond to,
you know, in a very positive manner and and can get back to full
speed, you know, whenever that timeline is just two minutes lething to half.
You know, Robbickson ball, you're pretty aggressive there. What did you
know about Joe at the time and the decision to kind of push the ball
and be aggressive instead of maybe take it into the half of maybe get Yeah,
I didn't didn't know you know, just just you know, you have
to assume in those moments that it's it's Jake for the rest of the game.
That's what you have to assume. No information on that. But I
thought Jake did a really good job, you know. And and it's crazy
you look at a turning point that that downplay that ended up getting overturned.
It is tough because then then they got an opportunity to go back there and
score points. And so we were in a good situation there, uh getting
the ball coming out of half and just didn't go away. But I thought
Jake his first live action on the road on a Thursday night. I think
we had eight full speed reps on the week. You know, obviously that
the first team offense got, you know, as opposed to normal you know
in the forties and fifties, sixties. So really proud of the way that
he responded. And just what I thought was so special about him was how
confident and calm he was. And that allowed me to call everything that was
on the menu and not have to not have to dumb it down because because
new guys coming in the game, so that gave me confidence. I felt
the team had the confidence the coaching staff had the confidence, and Jake's worked
for this opportunity's entire life, and he's prepared the right way. He's in
the building as much as anybody on this team waiting for moments like this.
Obviously not at not at the uh the you know the way it happened to
Joe. But but that's what the life of a back quarterback, and so
really proud of the way he went in there with the calm attitude and was
able to execute the plan and give us a chance to move the ball and
score some points. I guess the course of the day. How come it
hasn't come up as to what exactly he was wearing from me on the plane
with who I mean, our guys wear this stuff all the time, So
I don't get into it with him. That's the league contact with you about
Drew, not me. No, you've seen any similar He's obviously yet where
precious less cat with the cabin issue. Is there any any parallels between the
two situations. No, A J McCarron basically gotten the buildings, but there
pared quarterback, so I have How have you seen him avolve? Because theyll
probably be playing on that Yeah, get more comfortable just the way we call
things. Obviously, he's got a lot of experience in the league, and
I think he was able to quickly piece together Okay, this is a concept,
I understand, it's just called this now in this offense. And part
of the reason he was here was familiarity with with the people who've been here
before Pitch Brian had had him I think in Oakland, and so we knew
what we were getting with Aj and and so far that's exactly what we've seen.
You know, an experienced veteran who's good in the room and would be
able to go to execute if we needed to. Obviously we're turning to Jake,
but it's good to have Aj in the room. There's a lot of
value that he brings to that I've enjoyed being around him, and confidence that
he's getting up to speed all so on on kind of how we operate with
all the different concepts and protections and things like that. You know, having
a lot of confidence something he's always had out for it, kind of has
that game and Mary tys that's that's a big part of the battle of playing
quarterback is is you've put in the work to have confidence yourself. And it's
not just false hope. It's not just you get out there and put on
a brave face trying to trick everybody thinking you know what you're doing. Jake
has done that, you know, and he's shown that through his actions.
He's shown that through his ability to bond with with everyone in the locker room.
You know, I think guys think really highly of Jake and respect the
work he puts in. And you know, I can't speak enough to the
text of questions that he asked, asked difficult questions in the meetings to make
sure that he's prepared if it's something maybe there's so much to cover over the
course of a week. That is the job of backup quarterback is again you're
an extension of the coaching staff and sometimes you gotta, hey, let's make
sure we talk about this also. So Jake's always done a great job of
that, as good as anybody I've been around, and that's prepared him to
go into a moment like this and again going on a on a short week
at Baltimore for some really good defense and I give us a chance to move
the ball. Stressed complimentary football all year, Zach, Well, you know
for the last several years success, this is probably where it's even more credical.
An sure, absolutely, you know, we're we're kind on everyone to
step it up even a notch further. And again, I'm I just you
spend more time today probably looking around the locker room at the guys we have
on the team. And we got a lot of great players, a lot
of great men on this team, and so I'm excited to see how everybody
responds. And and uh, I think it's a great opportunity for this team
to to really band together and continue to make something of the rest of the
season. How much does the offense change with Jakes getting there? Not much?
You know, Jake, he's got a really good grass so he's been
here, I mean how many years, right before the Minnesota game, so
that was what three years ago, I guess. So I feel very confident
that he can do he can he can do all the things that we ask
our guys to do in our offense. And so it doesn't take anything off
the table. Obviously, you want to play to his strengths. So as
you continue to change conversations from hey, Joe, what do you like in
the plan to more shifting to to Jake, you know what, what do
you feel most comfortable with in these situations. That's the only thing that really
changes. But in terms of the scope of our offense, everything stays on
the table. Those preseason reps in the training camp reps that he got with
Ones, I would assume that helps it absolutely does. You know, he
got more reps than any number two quarterback in the league in training camp,
and so you know that's these are the moments where that that helps. And
that's why he was able to go in with with taking no physical, full
speed reps with the Ones last week and you know, we'll go execute and
have the confidence and the guys and and so again that's that's encouraging to see
from Jake, and I expect to see more of that going forward to potentially
add their quarterbacks. But the practice for I think that's a conversation we'll have,
you know, with Duke and the staff and and that's more just again
to take some throws off of those guys. As you're knowing Scout team Morkan
routes on there, I do, I do ye. What about aj how
do you like that he's a lot of man played in another league. You
know what is what has he showing you at the time of lead A lot
of experience as a player. He's got a lot of time on the field,
So he's not just you know, a backup quarterback. That's that's been
a backup quarterback and off the field, this guy's played a lot of football
games, various teams, various levels. He's got a lot of confidence.
He fits in the room really well. I think he's got a great rapport
with Joe and Jake and Dan, and so that's that's that's a big step
obviously when you add an experienced piece to the room, and so I think
he's he's fit that to a tee, everything that we wanted out of that
guy. And so again it's been really positive having aj here and then do
have trust in him just watching him operate a practice and scout team and all
that stuff that you know, he's he's what expected him to be. You're
looking for in a lot of your answers. Now, not not back,
but hops the fans as playing for you try to go win, you know
you're talking about during the game. I mean, obviously I didn't know what
the long term news was. Oh, this morning Uh, you know,
disappointed for Joe because again, you just you're around this guy every single day,
and and you see what he puts himself through to prepare himself. And
I wouldn't the wrong word is to say the pressure he puts on himself,
but just the the what he puts himself through to make sure he's at his
best for the players, the coaches, the organization as a whole. I
think that's that something obviously weighs heavily on those quarterbacks. And so it's obviously
disappointment when when he knows he's not going to be able to go out there
and finish the job of the season. But that's life, you know,
And and I told him he's gonna have a long career and this is just
just one of the many parts of the diversity you're going to deal with as
a starting quarterback over the course of your career. And and so again I
think this team will respond the right way. Talk about a guy who's he
has so many injuries now that he's fought through and played through and something that
he hasn't been able to how much do you worry about the compilation of these
over three years now? So many that he's had to play through and this
game has been tough for him physically. How much do you worry about the
mental and physical you know, toll that that can take on a quarterback.
I think if he was a normal human being, you'd worry about it.
He's not, you know, he's he's wired differently, he's programmed differently.
That's why we're fortunate to have him. That's that's why he's achieved all the
things in his lifetime he has because he's he's just built a little bit different
to be able to overcome setbacks and challenges and plays with the chip on his
shoulder all the things that you can say about a guy like that. And
so that's why I've got confidence that that he'll respond from this the right way
at the right time. And and again just uh, that's that's just part
of how Joe's built. All I've gotten more successful over the years, how
much more you've seen him maybe have a willness to make sure that to put
things on his shoulders, to do everything he can to put y'all kind of
he absolutely wants that responsibility, you know, when when things are on the
line, he wants to go through him. He wants the pressure on him,
and that's that's a credit to great leadership and people, you know,
who want to be in those moments. Okay, if someone's got to do
it, let it be me, And that's I think that's important. I
think we have a lot of guys like that in the locker room that would
choose to do that. It's important to have that from your quarterback. We
have it. It's a very authentic from him and genuine He genuinely wants wants
those opportunities. You know, if it's going to be someone, let it
be him. And I think the guys have a lot of respect for that.
And fortunately, like I said, we got a lot of other guys
that are built like that, and so now now everyone gets an opportunity to
really shine that way, and I'm confident that they're will all right. Seg
