How high is the anticipation, 18 00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:00.960 how high is the perspiration? And the weather is going 19 00:01:01.039 --> 00:01:04.439 to be great. People are going nuts. Max Montoya has 20 00:01:04.439 --> 00:01:06.599 the connection with Dan Hurley and Moore. Give me a 21 00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:09.359 full report. I have very specific questions, though, give me 22 00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.519 a full report. Where is the excitement meter? 23 00:01:12.760 --> 00:01:15.120 Yeah, it's it's up there, Willie. There's there's no question 24 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:17.400 about it. The they think that it's going to be 25 00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:21.599 a really, really solid football team, and the weather is 26 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.239 going to be almost like fall. It's going to be beautiful, 27 00:01:24.519 --> 00:01:28.200 be in the seventies, low seventies for the game. But uh, 28 00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:29.959 that morning when you wake up, man, it's going to 29 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.840 feel like in October or November morning. There's there's no questions. So, yeah, 30 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.239 guys are geared up. There's no no question about it. 31 00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:40.680 The the opening weekend the National Football League is always 32 00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.159 always a big deal, and man was it kicked off 33 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:46.879 by a pull of football game last night. It was unbelievable. 34 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.359 How about Kansas City's first two games at home against 35 00:01:50.359 --> 00:01:53.879 the Ravens then the Bengals. Uh many. I've read some 36 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:56.200 Kansas City stuff from the Star Ledger, et cetera, and 37 00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.519 it looks to me as if they're they're higher than 38 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.079 a kite and they be the Ravens. I don't know. 39 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.000 I think that the Ravens are, shall we say, it's 40 00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.319 just a NACHA two below the Chiefs. When you examined 41 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.800 that game last night, ken Ken, the Bengals compete against 42 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.000 the Chiefs with that team, but Patrick mahomes exciting, unbelievable 43 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:16.080 defense was good and I never saw most of those 44 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:19.080 wide receivers. They made Tyreek Hill look like it was slow. 45 00:02:19.319 --> 00:02:20.599 What did you see in that game? 46 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:26.280 Yeah, I saw the rookie from Texas, Xavier Worthy, just 47 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.319 his first touch of his NFL career was want of 48 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:33.159 reverse for about a touch on you he was a blur. 49 00:02:33.240 --> 00:02:35.159 I mean here he's running through guys like they were 50 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.120 standing still. He scores two touchdowns in his first NFL game, 51 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.400 one on the ground and one on the air. And 52 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:45.439 Patrick Mahomes won a Super Bowl with more pedestrian corps 53 00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:47.639 receivers than he's got. Now, I mean, this kid, he 54 00:02:47.680 --> 00:02:50.800 adds speed to that football team. And then when you 55 00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:54.080 have somebody who can stretch the field vertically and horizontally 56 00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:57.280 horizontally like he did on that reverse, I mean when 57 00:02:57.280 --> 00:02:59.199 he's in motion, he's a blur. You know, guys are 58 00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.199 trying to catch up to when he goes in motion, 59 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:04.240 across the backfield went to the field. So I mean 60 00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:07.599 he makes he makes Kelsey's life easier, He makes all 61 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:11.000 the other receiver's life easier because you know, he stretches 62 00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:14.520 the field both ways, vertically and horizontally. He's he's a weapon. 63 00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:18.360 Man speaking in vertically and horizontally. Did you see Taylor Swift. 64 00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:21.560 I mean, I'm looking at this and I'm thinking, what 65 00:03:21.639 --> 00:03:22.560 the hell's going on? 66 00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:23.240 Man? 67 00:03:23.280 --> 00:03:26.800 Anyway, let's get back to football. Who runs it. Let's 68 00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.080 say you line up on the fifty yard line and 69 00:03:29.120 --> 00:03:31.599 you got Xavier Worthy on one side and La Dela 70 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:33.520 Cruz on the other. Who wins the race? 71 00:03:34.479 --> 00:03:37.240 I'll tell you what that's That's a good race because 72 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:41.039 Dela Cruz he gets he gets from zero to to 73 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.639 fifty quickly. I mean, he's not one of those guys 74 00:03:43.639 --> 00:03:45.919 it takes about three or four steps to get get 75 00:03:45.919 --> 00:03:48.360 in high gear. Man, he's in high gear right now, 76 00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.639 and he's got long strides. A fifty yard. 77 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.680 Race, yeah, that wins. 78 00:03:52.919 --> 00:03:56.360 That'd be a good race because you know Worthy's He's 79 00:03:56.439 --> 00:03:59.639 run the fastest forty in the history of the National Football. 80 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:01.800 League, like four to two or four to one or something. 81 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:05.560 Yeah, like got like got four to one. That's exactly 82 00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:08.439 what it was. I mean, it was like nuts, Yeah, 83 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:08.960 it's nuts. 84 00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.680 Let's talk about specifics here. I get into the facts. 85 00:04:11.759 --> 00:04:13.639 You're you're a great poet, but I tend to deal 86 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:17.800 with facts. And uh, while you're laughing, and they and 87 00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.480 the five seasons that uh, Zach Taylor has been the 88 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:24.160 head football coach with your Bengals. In the first two games. 89 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.519 According to Jason Williams, the Bengals are one and nine 90 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.279 in the first two games in the last five seasons. 91 00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:35.040 Why would this be different this year? One and nine? 92 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.120 They're terrible? Why first of all, why have they been terrible? 93 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:40.199 And secondly, why is this year different? 94 00:04:41.600 --> 00:04:44.199 Yeah? Sometimes it's been opponent driven. I mean, when you 95 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:46.920 play the Kansas City Chiefs or the Baltimore Ravens or 96 00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.040 any bigger like that in your first couple of games 97 00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.399 at the start a season, it's you know, it's it 98 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.800 makes a dicey uh. And they got bigger in Kansas City. 99 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:56.439 They go to Kansas City week two, and that's going 100 00:04:56.480 --> 00:04:58.279 to be a hell of a hell of a challenge 101 00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.759 out there when you play them in Kansas City, that 102 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.480 place is I mean, you can't even hear yourself think 103 00:05:03.480 --> 00:05:06.720 out there, it is. It's absolutely nuts out there. So 104 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:08.680 that that's going to be very interesting. First and foremost, 105 00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.000 they're going to get off to a good start against 106 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:13.439 the Patriots. They're favored by I think more than anybody 107 00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.600 else in the National Football League. I think eight and 108 00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.000 a half point favorite something like that, and I think 109 00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.120 that's the highest in Week one. So I can't look 110 00:05:21.160 --> 00:05:22.879 at that, and they just got to say, let's let's 111 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.399 take care of business to get down to brass tax 112 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:27.279 here and get after the New England Patriots, who, by 113 00:05:27.360 --> 00:05:29.759 the way, willie for out of the last five years 114 00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.120 to top ten defense in the National Football League. They 115 00:05:34.120 --> 00:05:37.160 were seventh last year. So this is this is a 116 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.920 football team that prides itself on its defensive performance. They 117 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.639 trut their disguise, they try to they try to create 118 00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.160 chaos and confusion and take cash. In my mind, take 119 00:05:48.480 --> 00:05:51.120 Caresh in my mind, is going to be hugely important 120 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:53.399 because he's the guy that's got to sort it all out, 121 00:05:53.480 --> 00:05:56.199 recognize it, communicate it quickly, bring some calm to that 122 00:05:56.560 --> 00:05:59.120 chaotic storm that the Patriots are trying to bring. So 123 00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.480 it's going to be interesting. Man. 124 00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:04.120 Let's talk about the elephant in the room. Number one, 125 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:09.319 Dela Cruz, not Dela Cruz. Number two. Let's talk about 126 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.120 the man. Let's talk about Jamar Chase. Jamar Chase, the 127 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.680 Great Number one. The speculation was earlier in the week 128 00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.160 They're going announce it during the Thursday night game like 129 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.720 they did with JB. That didn't happen. Here we sit 130 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:24.160 Friday afternoon, all hell's breaking loose. I look at according 131 00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.759 to Austin and some others, Tony Benders looked at the next thing. 132 00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:29.839 I think he has spies everywhere and also cameras. It 133 00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:34.000 appears it appears that these secondary receivers are not running 134 00:06:34.040 --> 00:06:36.680 with the first team and that it is the Great 135 00:06:36.759 --> 00:06:39.680 Jamar Chases the guy out there. I mean, do you 136 00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:42.519 have a sense by Sunday? Number one? Is he going 137 00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:44.319 to play? Number two? Is he going to sign? I 138 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:46.120 don't care if he signs or not. He's a multi 139 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:48.439 billionaire anyway, at some point he's going to make all 140 00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.360 the doe in the world. But is he going to 141 00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.240 play on Sunday? 142 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:56.800 I think he'll play, And honestly, think about it, what's 143 00:06:56.839 --> 00:07:00.000 the difference between Jamar Chase playing and Sam Hubbard playing. 144 00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:03.079 Sam Hubbard very early in training camp, had an injury 145 00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.879 to his knee that you know, he basically couldn't do anything. 146 00:07:07.120 --> 00:07:09.240 I mean, he couldn't even do what Jamar Chase is doing. 147 00:07:09.519 --> 00:07:13.279 He had to go back and square one and rehab 148 00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:16.839 and come along and basically learn how to walk right again. 149 00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.720 And now he's he's going to play and how many snaps? 150 00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:21.959 And I think they're going to have to, you know, 151 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:24.319 monitor it with him as he comes out the football field. 152 00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.800 How you feeling the same thing with Jamar Chase. Jamar 153 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:28.800 Chase missed all the time, but he and Sam Hubbard 154 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.480 are doing the same thing. They're both coming to practice, 155 00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.560 they're both supporting their teammates, answering questions, trying to pass 156 00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.000 on some veteran knowledge and experience working out and and 157 00:07:40.319 --> 00:07:42.839 Sam workouts. You know, he had to ramp up. He 158 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:45.439 had start from square one. Like I said, Jamar has 159 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.879 been freakishly crazy in his workouts. Strength coaches tell me 160 00:07:49.920 --> 00:07:53.560 that man, he's he is like ridiculously strong. I mean, 161 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:57.319 his lower body is crazy. And he's been running frints 162 00:07:57.319 --> 00:08:00.199 in the in the I E. L. Bubble over there, 163 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.600 and he's got himself in good shape. Now was a 164 00:08:02.680 --> 00:08:05.480 football shape and That's what Sam's going to be working 165 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:08.079 through too. You have to get back into functional football 166 00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.959 shape and that's gonna that's gonna take some refs out 167 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:13.360 there on the field. But you know there's the reason 168 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:15.639 that everybody, Oh, is jarp mare going to be able 169 00:08:15.639 --> 00:08:18.319 to play? He's not hurt. You know, he's he's in 170 00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:21.480 great shape and he's a freak. I mean, both he 171 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:25.759 and Hubbard are keep themselves in premium condition. I mean 172 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:29.000 like I finally tuned Mercedes man. I mean that's the 173 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:31.040 way that they they look at it and they approach 174 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:34.039 their uh, you know, their profession. So I don't have 175 00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.759 any hesitation about Jamar Chase being out there and being 176 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.559 able to perform. And I know the New England Patriots 177 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.200 are going to be concerned when he's out there. It'll 178 00:08:42.240 --> 00:08:45.120 be interesting to see how many times they killed coverage 179 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:46.320 over there to Jamar Chase. 180 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:49.279 Oh, your credibility is on the line. Number one. Will 181 00:08:49.320 --> 00:08:51.960 he play or not? Put it out there, Dave Lapham, 182 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:55.120 Will the great Number one Jamar Chase play on Sunday? 183 00:08:55.200 --> 00:08:56.039 Yay or nay? 184 00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:59.960 I say yay. I'd be very very surprised if he does. 185 00:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.480 I think he plays, and I think he plays well. 186 00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:05.200 I think he's a factor in the football game. 187 00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:08.919 Let's talk about the trenches. Everything happens. You're a good friend. 188 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:11.519 The great Paul Brown said, it's all beginning up front. 189 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:14.399 Is the offensive line better or worse than last year? 190 00:09:14.559 --> 00:09:17.600 You know the position? Well, we have Max Montoya coming 191 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:19.639 up in about forty five minutes to talk about he 192 00:09:19.679 --> 00:09:22.559 and Dan Hurley. Great story there about the hat and 193 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.799 why Dan Hurley, the great Connecticut basketball coaches as a 194 00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.399 Bengals fan, have that in about forty five minutes or so. 195 00:09:28.840 --> 00:09:31.639 But talk about the offensive line better or worse than 196 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:32.240 last year. 197 00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:36.120 I think it's one of the better offensive lines that 198 00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:39.039 they've had in franchise history, chance to be one of 199 00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:41.799 one of the best in the National Football League. I 200 00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:45.200 mean it's a massive unit. Will he you know the 201 00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:49.039 average size, I mean they get their offensive tackle position, 202 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.879 they're all six to eight and they all ways turn 203 00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:53.240 the fifty pounds more. I mean, it's a massive humanity 204 00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:57.200 up there. It really is crazy. And you know, you 205 00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:00.440 go over with Trent Brown and I think he's going 206 00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.039 to be the starter or right tackle. Would not surprise 207 00:10:03.120 --> 00:10:05.919 me if Mims is deactivated this week, if he's up, 208 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:08.200 he's going to be in an emergency situation. I think 209 00:10:08.279 --> 00:10:11.519 Trent Brown goes. So that means that four of the 210 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.120 five offensive linemen have been to the Pro Bowl from 211 00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:18.840 an individual hon a standpoint, and all four of them 212 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:21.759 have won a Super Bowl. So four different guys in 213 00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:25.200 the starting five of the offensive line have reached the 214 00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:29.039 pinnacle individually and team wise. And that that's good. I 215 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:31.440 mean that tells you that you know how to get 216 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:33.279 it done, you know what to do, you know how 217 00:10:33.320 --> 00:10:37.519 to do it. And I'm looking forward to seeing them play. 218 00:10:37.639 --> 00:10:41.960 I think they're they're they're big, they're mobile, they're cohesive. 219 00:10:42.039 --> 00:10:43.240 I think it's gonna be fun to watch. 220 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:46.440 Yeah, And when when Munoz was drafted, he was perceived 221 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.639 as a large offensive lineman. Now at he's like a shrimp. 222 00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:54.120 Talk about the defensive line, the defensive line. Tony Bender 223 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:56.679 is concerned about the defensive line and how poorous it 224 00:10:56.799 --> 00:10:58.879 might be because the Patriots are going to take the 225 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:00.559 air out of the ball, They're gonna run, they're going 226 00:11:00.600 --> 00:11:02.200 to get the clock running. It's going to I think 227 00:11:02.200 --> 00:11:05.279 a low scoring game. That's against the predilections of many. 228 00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.320 But Tony Benner's concerned about the defensive line should he be. 229 00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:12.799 Well, I agree with what you're saying about the Patriots 230 00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:14.960 trying to run the football. They want to play keep away, 231 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:17.320 they want to try to keep number nine on the sideline. 232 00:11:17.480 --> 00:11:19.159 They don't want to give him the football. So they're 233 00:11:19.159 --> 00:11:22.159 going to try to control that clock, play play that 234 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.440 type of possession football. And they've got a couple of 235 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:28.320 very very solid running backs to do that with. I 236 00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.600 mean Stevenson and Gibson. They're both you know, two hundred 237 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:33.799 and twenty five tore and thirty pound type guys that 238 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.679 you know, are very very physical, hard to bring to 239 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.519 the ground. And when Brissette decides to run the football, 240 00:11:39.559 --> 00:11:41.879 he's he's six four to two thirty five. I mean, 241 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:43.919 he's a full grown man. He's hard to get to 242 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.039 the ground as well. I'm not saying there's going to 243 00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:49.240 be a quarterback run package. When he extends and creates right, 244 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:52.480 he's going to try to run for you know, very 245 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:55.679 significant yardage to move the change. Yeah, I think that's 246 00:11:55.679 --> 00:11:58.120 going to be a big factor. And I think that 247 00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.440 that's going to be key. You know, get that second 248 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.120 and third and long situations and let a guy named 249 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:06.720 Tree Hendrickson, Willie he is freakish man. 250 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:09.720 He's a man. He's a man. Harry asked, man, he's 251 00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:10.039 a man. 252 00:12:11.039 --> 00:12:16.240 The dude has unbelievable first step quicknesses. Get off is incredible. 253 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.919 He's a he's got quick twitch. He's got the quick 254 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.120 twitch from the running back or defensive back in that body. 255 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.039 I mean, it's like, it's like, man, what how did 256 00:12:26.039 --> 00:12:26.480 he get there? 257 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.080 He's he's got to He's a Tourett's kind of guy. 258 00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:32.000 Just twitch, just twitch and all of that. Unbelieved he 259 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:33.639 gets from there to hear. I don't know so quickly. 260 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.440 I know I didn't close my eyes. I know I didn't. 261 00:12:35.639 --> 00:12:36.039 I didn't. 262 00:12:36.200 --> 00:12:39.320 I got I have two big questions for you, Dave Lapping, 263 00:12:39.320 --> 00:12:42.559 Why are you prepared? Yes, who's a better wide receiver 264 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.960 Isaac Curtis, o Cho Cinko or Jamar Chase. You have 265 00:12:47.000 --> 00:12:50.559 to pick one. You got Isaac Curtis, o Cho Cinco 266 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:53.559 in their prime or Jamar Chase number one? Give me 267 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:54.360 a quick answer. 268 00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:58.960 Totally different receivers. I mean, uh, you know, it's it's 269 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:01.600 what he works. Flavor ice cream do you want? They're 270 00:13:01.759 --> 00:13:04.559 they're all tremendous, and it's what flavor ice cream you want? 271 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:08.559 They've got different skill sets, different types of receivers. But 272 00:13:08.600 --> 00:13:12.080 I played with Isaac Curtis and and he was awe 273 00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.120 inspiring man. He he made such an impression on me 274 00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.159 with his athleticism and and his his ability to catch 275 00:13:19.159 --> 00:13:22.480 the football and then just all round hell of a guy. 276 00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:25.879 I love Isaac Curtis. Man hard hard to de throw 277 00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.159 on him. 278 00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:31.440 In my opinion, Kenny Anderson, Boomer Sison, Joe Burrow. You 279 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.799 have one quarterback who's behind the center with his hands 280 00:13:34.799 --> 00:13:36.559 between his legs. Which are those three? 281 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:43.200 Boy? They Probably the greatest leader of all time is 282 00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:46.759 Boomer Sis And I think Joe Burrow and Kenny Anderson 283 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.799 are more similar in terms of their their style of playing, 284 00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.440 their football, intelligence, and their accuracy. I remember my first 285 00:13:53.759 --> 00:13:56.559 my rookie with the team. I'm out there watching, uh, 286 00:13:56.879 --> 00:14:00.039 you know, Kenny Anderson throwing the football and uh, the 287 00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:02.120 balls never hitting the ground. I'm like, man, the NFL, 288 00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:04.279 this is this NFL is kind of crazy. Man. They'll 289 00:14:04.320 --> 00:14:08.480 be able to throw some incompletion. Must Borrow does the 290 00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:08.960 same thing. 291 00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:13.440 You're not giving me an answer, Burrow, number seven or 292 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.679 number fourteen? Which are those three? The best? 293 00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.600 That would be number nine for borrow, oh number nine, 294 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:23.440 number seven or number fourteen? It I'll go with I'll 295 00:14:23.480 --> 00:14:24.559 go with fourteen. 296 00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:27.039 All right, thank you, Pete Rose under center. Now, lastly, 297 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:30.000 give me the final score. Let's cut the crap. We 298 00:14:30.039 --> 00:14:32.799 don't have to play the game. Dave Lapham says, final 299 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.440 score is. 300 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:36.399 Final scores Bengals by a touchdown. 301 00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.559 Willie about twenty one fourteen? You like that one. 302 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:43.639 I'm thinking. I'm thinking twenty four to seventeen. 303 00:14:43.840 --> 00:14:46.360 I'm writing that down right now. All right, Thank you 304 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:48.840 Dave Lapham, You're the best. This is almost year fifty 305 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:50.840 one connected to the Bengals, one way or another. No 306 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.639 one is a record like that, not even not even 307 00:14:53.759 --> 00:14:56.759 Dan Horde, Phil Sam, none of them have that. And 308 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.039 thank you for sharing your thoughts. On the eve of 309 00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:01.159 a battle a great bat the glade Eaders are about 310 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:05.240 to enter the arena, muddy blood, eat everywhere, fighting like crazy, 311 00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.840 and see who comes out.

So I'm going with Maximus really as a pleasure, 317 00:15:24.399 --> 00:15:27.080 as always agreed the best. Appreciate the opportunity to catch 318 00:15:27.159 --> 00:15:28.159 up with the legend. 319 00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.159 Great number sixty five.

Thank you. 322 00:15:33.000 --> 00:15:33.159 Dave. 323 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:38.679 God bless America. Let's continue with more of your comments. 324 00:15:38.679 --> 00:15:41.320 Are next. I don't know why why these interviews go 325 00:15:41.399 --> 00:15:43.720 those route, but it's kind of fun on news radio 326 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:49.039 seven hundred WLW. All right, Billy cunning in the Great America. 327 00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:50.879 Let's set up the rest of today's big show. In 328 00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:55.200 about twenty five minutes, Max Montoya, the Great Number sixty 329 00:15:55.240 --> 00:15:57.600 five will be here. As you may know, the ruler 330 00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:00.879 of the Jungle is the Great College which basketball coach 331 00:16:00.960 --> 00:16:04.279 Dan Hurley, who turned down millions and millions of dollars 332 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:06.759 from the Lakers to stay with Yukon, which is a 333 00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:09.080 good thing. And he's the ruler of the jungle. And 334 00:16:09.120 --> 00:16:13.559 why is that the reason Dan Hurley, the Yukon basketball coach, 335 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:15.600 is going to be the ruler of the jungle on Sunday. 336 00:16:15.919 --> 00:16:19.799 It's because of Max Montoya. Stay tuned for this. After 337 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:22.639 one o'clock, we're gonna get in touch with Max Montoya, 338 00:16:22.679 --> 00:16:25.039 the Great Number sixty five, to talk about the connection 339 00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:29.919 between Dan Hurley as a boy, Max Montoya in New 340 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:32.799 York City and the ruler of the Jungle on Sunday. 341 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:36.480 What a story. Secondly, we're going to have also a 342 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:41.039 report on the terrible school shooting that took place in Georgia, 343 00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:45.279 and it is almost a matter of so what anymore 344 00:16:45.360 --> 00:16:48.799 when it shouldn't be Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky's had about 345 00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.600 a dozen or more school threats called in because of this. 346 00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:57.720 There's about seventy five million kids in schools and it 347 00:16:57.799 --> 00:16:59.919 appears this is a thing to do to threaten SI 348 00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:03.879 and it must be stopped to the greatest extent possible. 349 00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:06.599 But it can't be of course, you try to govern 350 00:17:06.720 --> 00:17:11.039 their principles of what's happening in public education today with violence. 351 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.799 And I would note that an armed school resource officer 352 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:19.920 put a gun very close to the body of the murderer, 353 00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:24.200 Colt Gray, and he dropped his weapon and went to 354 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:26.960 the went down to the hallway, so it went down 355 00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:30.400 to the floor, and that's why it stopped. But for 356 00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:34.240 an armed resource officer. This would have been a much 357 00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.359 much more tragic event. We're going to talk later about 358 00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:43.079 the circumstances of this kid's life. Truly unbelievable, and I 359 00:17:43.119 --> 00:17:46.799 would assume there's thousands and thousands of Colt Grays running 360 00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:50.480 around public and private education today. The fourteen year old 361 00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:55.400 had killed two classmates and two teachers at Appalachi High School, 362 00:17:55.960 --> 00:17:59.480 and according to media accounts, he had a life that 363 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:04.319 was at absolutely horrendous, and I'm looking at some of 364 00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.000 the reporting from New York Posts and from other sources. 365 00:18:07.480 --> 00:18:11.440 His mother was Marcy Gray. She grew up to Kyle, 366 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:14.119 went to college. She was an industrial engineer. The mom 367 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:18.960 who worked at Toyota before becoming addicted to methamphetamine. Once 368 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.079 she fell into the world of addiction, mom was a 369 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.640 crack cocaine addict. She had fentanyl in the home, She 370 00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:29.240 had car fentanyl in the home. She stole money from friends, 371 00:18:29.279 --> 00:18:32.400 from neighbors, from family to raise money for drugs, sold 372 00:18:32.440 --> 00:18:35.079 her body a few times for drugs, threatened to kill 373 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:38.440 herself and her son repeatedly, and she once duct taped 374 00:18:38.519 --> 00:18:40.920 her own mother to a chair and left her for 375 00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.480 dead for twenty four hours. Goes mom. Her mom would 376 00:18:44.519 --> 00:18:47.880 not give her more money to buy more drugs. And 377 00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:50.720 the father of this murderer, this fourteen year old calling 378 00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.799 his name is Colin Gray. He was at rained this 379 00:18:53.880 --> 00:18:57.839 morning in Georgia. He's a construction worker, a keen hunter, 380 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.480 and according to neighbors, he frequently subjected his wife and 381 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:06.720 son to tie raids of screaming and hollering and violence. 382 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:10.119 The couple got married in twenty eight Soon after the 383 00:19:10.240 --> 00:19:14.279 birth of Colt. They bought a farm in Borrow County, Georgia, 384 00:19:14.359 --> 00:19:17.160 with plans to set up a nonprofit riding school, but 385 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.920 that went south in a hurry. The father suffered a 386 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:22.680 back injury and was in a lot of pain at 387 00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:26.920 terrible financial problems, and they split up. The mom and 388 00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.720 dad split up, Colt went with the dad, and the 389 00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:34.640 rest is history. I looked at the mother's criminal record. 390 00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:36.680 You know what I think about mother. I think about 391 00:19:36.680 --> 00:19:40.160 my own wonderful, departed mother. You think about your mother 392 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:44.240 as a as a paragon of virtue and love and understanding. Well, 393 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.759 this kid's mother look at her criminal record and just 394 00:19:47.880 --> 00:19:52.680 briefly she had pending charges, and she has fourteen pages 395 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.319 of criminal record, and it's about as bad as it gets. 396 00:19:55.359 --> 00:19:57.960 In fact, it's worse than it gets. She was in 397 00:19:58.039 --> 00:20:00.960 and out of prison for the last twelve years pending 398 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:05.160 at this point our felony scheduled too controlled substances possession, 399 00:20:05.240 --> 00:20:09.119 which is she had fentanyl and methamphetamine, use of a 400 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:12.440 license plate for purposes of concealing or misrepresenting the idea 401 00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:16.920
