11-17-23 Bill Cunningham Show

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, seven thousand, Stay tuned. Dr Timothy Kremcheck is next about the injury

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.

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 Traffic and Weather News Radio seven hundred w l W Cincinnati.

We're gonna we're gonna take the long weekend here in regroup and ghile for Pittsburgh last week. That is Bengals head coach Zach Taylor 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.

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.

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 comes to it. Unfortunately, she was our leading scorer on the season,

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 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.

Learsprime dot Com good of course. Last night, Willie, the 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.

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.

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.
