9-25-23 Bill Cunningham Show

America. Welcome to the floor. Is Monday afternoon, the Tries Day, getting ready in about eight hours for kickoff Joe Burrow versus the Rams. We'll see what happens or redo of the Super Bowl in which the Bengals lost the course and the Reds had a two and four disastrous homestand Dear Park lost to Fittytown by one point. Notre Dame loses at home. They got it. They got seven or eight players against eleven on the field that didn't go well.

You got the Dolphins doing the Congo line el Kuka Racha in Miami as the Sean Payton led Denver Broncos collapse. You have opportunities everywhere. And to put perspective on this, we have Dave Lapham coming up later, but until then, Moe Egger, welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. And Mo, how are you? I'm doing great? Willie? How are you not so good? It's been a rough weekend a new things were bad after Wednesday when Homer Green pitched the game of his life and the Reds caught that one

up, and then the lowly Pirates came to town. I'm enjoying a hotty Toddy I'm thinking is nine nothing? This is in the bag since eighteen eighty two, which, as you might recall, was the head day of the James A. Garfield administration. The Pittsburgh Pirates had not won a game and there were nine runs down. But here we are, about one hundred and forty one years later, and guess what the Reds got that done? Everywhere?

Look, I see opportunities. I knew things were bad on Saturday when Satterfield received a gatorade bath on the sideline after you see, got its first first down in the Big twelve. And from that point on things have gone completely south. But can you give me hope? Can you give me hope? With the Bengals tonight? This is two months after tweaking of a calf muscle by Joe Burrow. It's been almost exactly two months since that happened. And their speculation, will he play? Will he not play? If he

plays? Will he be any good if he doesn't play? Well? A J. McCarron play, or we're browning play? Where are we give me perspective on Notre Dame, Ohio State Dear Park versus Finneytown. You see in the Big twelve, the Reds really on life support with CPR on standby. Give me hope. Where do you want to start? Let's start with the Bengals and the Rams. Okay, the Bengals have not won a game for

so long, I don't know where to start. They haven't won a game this year, they lose the last game last year, and the preseason they didn't win a game. Then they get drilled twice. And the Ravens might not be any good because if the Colts can beat them in Baltimore, the Ravens aren't very good. Can you give me hope tonight? Give me hope with the Rams? Please. So let's assume for a second that Joe Burrow isn't gonna start right, which I think feels like the safe assumption right now.

You know, Jay Morrison from Pro Football Network. On Saturday, I had a report were according to sources, several teammates believe that Joe is not going to play tonight. Frankly, I don't think Joe should play tonight. Let's say he doesn't. Okay, if you are a starting quarterback and you're about to make your first start, you've been a backup, you've been a practice squad guy. I'm not talking about guy's taken in the first round.

I'm talking about guys who have slowly worked up the ladder. And you're gonna make your first NFL start. If I gave you Jamar Chase t Higginson, Tyler Boyd, if I gave you a running game that, despite the team's overall offensive issues, has been pretty good. If I gave you this offensive line and I gave you Cincinnati's defense, I think you would say, you know what, I'm set up for success. I think there's a lot of quarterbacks regardless of talent level, and look, Jake Browning is who he is.

There's a reason that his career path has been what it's been. Practice squad guy had to fight out Trevor Simmon to be the backup quarterback, and now here he is. There's a reason why he hasn't completed a pass in an NFL game so far. But but you can't ask for a better runway for a guy to make his NFL debut. They're not playing a great team, they are playing at home. He's had a week to prepare is if

he's the starter, He's had a week to take first team reps. He's got to think a good roster around him, and so I don't believe that it's a FATA complete that if j Browning starts, the Bengals are gonna lose. Because this team was heavily hyped, favored to win the AFC North, talked about as a bona fide Super Bowl contender. If those things are true, they could survive a week without Joe Burrow. Now you are being fair if you go, okay, well, if he's not gonna play tonight,

is he gonna play against Tennessee, Is he gonna play against Arizona? Is he gonna play against Seattle. I'm not worried about those things. This team needs to win tonight, and if this team is as good as we've been told it is, then they should be able to eke out a win tonight against an okay La Rams team. Can the Bengals win a game? They've not won a game now in six consecutive games. We're hyping this team as after the second coming of the eighty five Bears, when in fact they don't

look very good at all. In fact, they look bad, And I'm thinking, okay, they look as bad as the Reds looked against them, Pirates. Let's be objective. People go nuts. There's too many fans. And I'm looking at this thing, thinking, okay, if this team is that good. You laid out how the running game, the offensive line. On paper, as you and I discussed a month ago, this is the greatest Bengals team in the last fifty three years on paper. But the problem

is they have to play on the field. And at this point there's little to be happy about with the Bengals. And I'm looking at the Reds in the same position in which now they're in Cleveland and then they're in Saint Louis. They had glories written all over their face in a crashed against the Pittsburgh Pirates, a lousy baseball team, and segment cannot name one player for the

Pirates. They stink and they couldn't get it done there. And then I look everywhere you see Bearcats are celebrating a loss of two touchdowns at home as if it's a big deal. Welcome to the Big twelve. And so at this point, mo I see Cincinnati Sports where it's been for decades, which is in the crapper, And someone sent me on Twitter it might be known as I might be an extra or a Twitter and you would know this fact. Are the red the worst team in all of baseball as far as consecutive

years without winning a playoff series? Are they last? I believe they have the longest current drought without advancing in the postseason. I believe that's the case. We know, But but do we? I mean, you saw and heard the way the city responded to that team last year. You've seen and heard people yelling, scream that the team should be sold. You saw the

bottoming out of attendance last year. You saw the bottoming out of attendance in twenty eighteen, which was the lowest attendance total since nineteen eighty four, and then last year they sunk even further. And so you know, you might say we accepted. I'm not sure we do now. I think with this team, multiple truths can can be stated. This season has been one of

overachievement relative to our preseason expectations. This season has perhaps laid the ground work for a Reds team that could be pretty good next year, in the year after, in the year after that. That they have a lot of really good and interesting and fun young players. You can acknowledge all of those You can even acknowledge that David Bell has done a good job at a macro level with this team and still be extraordinarily frustrated by a the front office is almost

refusal to make the team better at the trade deadline. They didn't add depth, they didn't add starting pitching. They put way too much on a bunch of young guys, and I don't think acquiring help from an outside team would have meant they had to derail their hopes of winning in two twenty four and

beyond. You could be very frustrated with some of David Bell's decisions regarding how he's used pitchers over the last couple of games, taking Hunter Green out after seven dominant innings against Minnesota, leaving Daniel Duarte in on Friday night when he couldn't throw a strike that didn't make any sense. You could be extraordinarily frustrated with the meltdown that was on Saturday night, which unfortunately but when it was nine six, you could kind of see it coming. I think multiple things

can be true. We're going to feel better about the two thousand, twenty three red season if the twenty twenty four Reds are a better team and are playing in thirteen months, we're gonna feel better about this season being the first building block toward the team being good for the rest of the decade. If they are actually good for the rest of the decade, I'm going to reserve judgment. I think this year's team is overachieved. I think this year's team

has been very fun to watch. But if this ends up being the start of something big, I think we'll look back on twenty twenty three as the necessary first step to contention. If this ends up not working, I think a lot of us are going to look at twenty twenty three as a tremendous missed opportunity in a watered down sport where now six teams per league make the

postseason, and this team had a bona fide chance. How could things have turned out if one or two things in the front office or in the dugout would have been done differently? Well, Tonight's tonight. I like to see the Reds play the Bengals. That have to be a winner. The Bengals tonight have the biggest Monday Night game, perhaps in history. I cannot imagine if the Bengals loose tonight. I think one team in the past sixty years

started ozho and three and got to the playoffs. So Tonight's game is bigger than Montana, and you lay out Browning and Jake Browning on the mound Tonight at paid Corps and with the team he's got around him, he should beat the Rams, who last year were terrible and this year doesn't look very good. You don't want Aaron Donald chasing around Joe Burrow, but tonight's game.

Can you put in perspective the size of Tonight's game and what it means to the American people, Well, I don't know that it means anything to the American people. What it means in the AFC North is you have three teams that have two wins. You have a Baltimore team that, despite yesterday, I still think is going to be a formidable foe down the road, and that has won a game head to head against Cincinnati. You have a Cleveland team that I think has a legitimate, legitimate defense. I'm not sure how

good they are offensively. Tennessee laid down for that team yesterday, but I think Cleveland's defense is legit. And the Steelers Chris Collinsworth said it last night on Sunday night football. That was your quintessential Steeler's victory last night. They're in the best division in the sport. If you want to win the best

division in the sport, you can't start oh and three. Suddenly Kansas City is playing better, Suddenly Buffalo is playing better, and the Miami Dolphins look like the nineteen ninety nine Rams. And so these are the teams are supposed to be in competition with. It's hard to call them peers when you start oh and three. So this is a huge, huge game, and then the schedule eases up a little bit. But Bill, I don't believe for a second Joe Burrow should play. I may protect the investment. Guy,

I'm willing to take the long view here. I'm even willing to lose tonight if you can, if you can assure me that Joe has a much better chance of being on the field and at least close to one percent in November in December, because I think with Joe Burrow you can make up a deficit. If let's say you lose tonight and Joe makes the injury even worse, and now we're talking about a prolonged absence. Like I'm sorry, people get mad at me for doing this. Aaron Rodgers suffered a mild calf injury during

OTAs, then in his Jets debut, Torah's achilles. Now, maybe that's not gonna happen with Joe, but can you imagine what it would feel like if now this calf is should became an achilles problem and it's going to keep him out for the rest of the year, and it might put his twenty twenty four season at least the beginning of it in jeopardy. So I'm all for airing on the side of caution. I'm all for protecting the investment. And again, all I heard for months was how great this coaching staff is,

how good this roster is. They have belief in Jake Browning. If those are things we believe and not just things we say, then they should be able to still find a way to eke out a victory tonight at home against an Okay opponent, even if Burrow doesn't play. And if they do that, we'll talk tomorrow about how much sense it makes for Joe to play on Sunday and what the plan moving forward should be. But I'm sorry, I'm at Willie. You know, in life, you protect your investments.

There's no greater investment in Cincinnati sports right now than Joe Burrow. You have to protect him, you have to protect his health, and I fight it hard to believe that running him out there, even if he were to play well, even if they were to win, the risk reward equation here just

doesn't add up to the point that I feel like he should play. Lastly, we said about three or four weeks ago that if Joe Burrow can take the Bengals of the Promised Land over the Hump and win a Super Bowl, he would be bigger than Oscar Robertson, bigger than Tony Trabert, bigger than Pete Rose, bigger than Joey Vado, bigger than Bob Boozer, bigger than Johnny Bench and Joe Morgan put together. He would be on the top of

Cincinnati Parthenon of great athletes. On the other hand, looking backwards from twenty twenty eight twenty twenty nine, you had the great Kenny Anderson too one Super Bowl and lost. You had the great Boomer Assize and going in the Ring of Honor Tonight one super Bowl and lost. Joe Burrow one super Bowl and lost. Your comments if I would have said to you at the end of the nineteen eighty four NFL season, Dan Marino will never get back to the

super Bowl, you would have said, no, nuts. That ended up being the case. If I would have said you when Aaron Rodgers won a title in two thousand ten, He'll never get back to the super Bowl, you would have said, your nuts. We talked. We talked about this after the last time the Bengals played the Rams Bill in the Super Bowl. You don't know when you're going to get back. You don't know when you're

gonna have an opportunity like this. And Joe Burrow has talked about how the windows always open as long as he's here, and I believe that there are different levels of contention, and so, you know, let's say he ends up being healthy this season. Let's say the Bengals make the postseason and don't win. I think the reaction to them not winning is going to be different than last year or the year after that. Quarterbacks, it doesn't take long

for them to wear their postseason failures. You know, Peyton Manning won a title at the end of the two thousand and six season had been in the league for less than a decade. But man, you were here ring a lot of the mid two thousands about how Peyton can't win the Big One. John Elway, who's in the Hall of Fame, spent a decade hearing about how he couldn't win the Big One before every one in his last two years.

Dan Marino, you still hear it today, And he was an iconic player, And so it doesn't take long for a quarterback to start be to begin to wear the label of a guy who can't win the Big One. I think it would be grossly unfair to say that about Joe Burrow right now. I think it would be grossly unfair to say that about Joe Burrow if he plays in the postseason this year and they don't win. But I'm taking a much shorter view. You've got to figure out a way to eat out

a win tonight. Yes, And if you don't have Joe Burrow and you can't, that is not an excuse. The poets have said mo, of all the words of tongue or pen, the worst of these or might have been MO. Thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. You did not answer the question if the reds if the Reds play the Bengals. Who win? What sport? I'm not going to tell you Red's versus. I have to know what are the rules? What sport are they playing?

Where's the venue? I like, what's are they playing? Baseball? My money's on the Reds. Don't bother what in particulars Reds v. Bengals? Who wins? I will answer that question This afternoon, Tony Pike and I are broadcasting from the Holy Grail from three to six thirty. I will answer that question for you. If you show up and do a segment or two with Tony and I at the Grail. Come be with your people, Yes, come me with these people that you close to represent. Come on

down, hang out. We'll give you. We'll give you whatever whatever time slot you want your broadcast with me and Tony. We can have a drink, get just sandwich. You'll be good to go. Let me know what time you're gonna be there. Everybody at the Grail would love to see you, and Tony and I would too. I will think about it. Mo, thank you very much for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you. Let's continue. Whenever stop, we simply continue. On News Radio seven

is bigger than Montana. Halftime is going to be the induction into the Ring of Honor, the great Boomer size and also Ocho Cinco, Chad's Johnson, and we've got Dave Lapham coming up and about an hour and a half and by then we should have a better indication. The smart money coming into today was that Joe Burrow would not play Goes to the fear of greater injury. But then after his workout, the smart money said he will play because he

worked out so well about an hour and a half ago. But we'll see how it happens, and maybe a game time decision what to do, what not to do. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. It's been two months since he tweaked his calf muscle, and you might recall it happened July the twenty seventh, and this is time fly September twenty five. It's been two months, and there's no guarantee that if he plays, it won't cause further damage. On the other hand, who knows, Nobody knows,

the Wizard doesn't. Nobody knows what's gonna happen, So that adds to the drama tonight's game. And the Bengals find themselves in a position if they lose of zero and three, which is damn near impossible to get to the playoffs a team that a month and a half ago, the Reds were in the first place the first week in August, and the Bengals were getting ready for a three game preseason then marching into Cleveland hosting Baltimore, and it could

not have been brighter. Plus you see was entering the Big twelve thanks for so bad on Saturday at Nippert that coach Sauderfield got a gatorade bath when the Bearcouts got their first first down in the Big Twelve. And it's being played as if losing by two touchdowns at home. The Oklahoma is a great thing. So I don't know where the heck we are, but we'll see what

happens. And it would be a surprise and a shock at this point if Joe Burrow actually played in the Bengals won, because, as the great Moe Egger said about a half an hour ago, you know, Jake Browning would be quarterbacking a team with one of the best offensive line in football, with so called a running game with Joe Mixon, and on defense, were thought

to have one of the top five defenses in football. Plus you have Evan mcpherrison, you have one of the greatest field goal kickers in Bengals history, and so there's elements around him that are pretty good. Of course, if he plays and he has a more serious injury, you know what that means for those who put him in. If he doesn't play and the Bengals lose, now they're ozero and three, and Dave Lappham will address that in about an hour and a half about how rare it is to go zero and three

and make it of the playoffs. So we're an uncharted territory once again. We'll see what happens. Little set about the Reds who go two and four at home the last six games against the Twinkies and the Pirates. Now tonight today they're off. They're off on Thursday, got two in Cleveland, three

and Saint Louis. But things are dire. The Reds would have to I think, win all five or at least four and one, assuming the Miami Ball Club continues to lose baseball games, or the Diamondbacks or whatever I mean. The odds of winning getting into the playoffs, according to USA Today Today is six percent for the Reds, and the odds of the Bengals getting into the playoffs if they go zero and three is less than six percent. So

the glories of August have given way to the realities of September. We'll see what occurs down the road. But can't you sense those unhappiness and the bowels of the American people? Great unhappiness? A poll came out over the weekend which had Donald Trump beating Joe Biden by ten percentage points for the presidency fifty two forty two. Are you kidding me? Of course, poll's fourteen months out mean little or nothing, But nonetheless, the ABC News Washington Post poll

was so good for Donald Trump and so bad for Joe Biden. It wasn't well publicized anywhere because it didn't reflect what the media wanted it to reflect. And the polling has been so bad for Joe Biden. Heck, seventy percent of Democrats don't want him be the nominee. He's gonna stumble and fumble his way into Detroit later this week to get on the picket line, followed by the Donald and everywhere I look, I see a crisis, a terrible crisis.

And in Joe Biden's case, you may mark my words on this September the twenty fifth, that at some point in the next six months, some event will inspire that is non recoverable for Joe Biden. It'll be that city can't do it, and at that point he'll be hospitalized with mental difficulties or physical injuries. His wife, the First Lady Jill, will come out and encourage Kamala Harris to become the acting President of the United States Kamala Harris under

the twenty fifth Amendment, because Joe Biden cannot do the job. Of course he can't do the job anyway. Then at that point, all hell's going to break loose. Kamala Harris has a little chance of being successful, and I would like her to be successful, because her success as an American president would be success as an American. The last two and a half three years has been an unmitigated disaster, and there's great in happiness in the bowels of

the American people. We can't take much anymore. Every day we're besieged. Now the media finally found out there's a problem on the southern border. What's up to this point? They ignored because it was fitting that democratic socialist approach of total chaos. During chaos, there's opportunities to seize more power by government. But now this is something that cannot be ignored any further. The number given as seven million in the first two and a half years of the Biden

administration seven million illegals. I had a guest on last night that said that number really is fifteen million illegals. Those seven million illegals are what's known about. You're gonna at least double it to make it fifteen to twenty million just

in the last thirty months. The cities are majestic, beautiful cities are trashed, utterly destroyed by democratic socialist policies all over the place, and now even the mainstream media cannot ignore what's happening on the southern border as millions of immigrants pour across. And by the way, this is the first brigade. This is the tip of the iceberg. In Central and South America and Africa and Asia, the numbers are closer to two to three hundred million. More people

want to come here, and they know the door is wide open. Under Joe Biden, fifteen twenty million, that's only the beginning. November of next year will be the crucible in which we must decide whether we have a country or not. And if you elect an interchangeable drill bit to keep the same policies in effect, another fifty to one hundred million will come. The country's done. We're over, can't function, no schools that function, no hospital

system that functions. We borrow every day six billion dollars of brand new money. The fiscal year ends on September thirtieth, It ends on Saturday, and we're going to be approximately two trillion dollars plus upside down, a new bar

and money on top of the debt. We have a great ladder going to the moon of the debt that's been accumulated since, largely in the last twenty years, and right now it's thirty four trillion, and three or four years of the next Democrat to be elected, it'll be forty trillion dollars, none of which can be repaid. Our currency will be trashed, it won't be their world's reserve currency. We're done, it's over. We have one chance. God Almighty will give us one more chance to get it right next November.

And so the American people are starting out to figure it out. And the media is Johnny come lately to the diseases and the crime and the fentanyl pouring across the southern border. So, yes, the American people are unhappy. This ABC News poll has something in the range of thirty six percent of the American people think Joe Biden has done a good job. Who in the heck are they? That means sixty four percent are unhappy. But at this

rate of illegals pouring into the country, we can't function. Trump stopped it, Biden opened the door green lighting this. We have Chinese spies inside over the country, spying in every aspect of americ in life. We have tens of thousands of Chinese spies conducting operations inside of America and their so called Chinese police stations, along with Chinese labs producing botulism, herpes, goneriea piree, and diarrhea. We have at this point. The extra spending by this administration

has tripled interest rates and gas prices have doubled. Tripled interest rates just two and a half three years ago. Talk to Paul Luck at McKinney mortgage, get a thirty year fix for about two and a half maybe two and three quarters percent. Now it's seven percent. American people, middle class Americans are hurting every which way because of the policies of this administration. In our military are tens of thousands of recruits short every month with insufficient munitions. Generals have

testified in Washington we don't have bombs and missiles and bullets anymore. We've given it to the Ukraine after our humilia, humiliating retreats from Afghanistan, leaving fast trophes of our resources behind for the Taliban to sell all over the world,

and the Pentagon's woke agenda, Trump's merit and promotions and advancement. You have to hurt certain hold certain political beliefs to be to be promoted now in the military, as schools produce marching Marxists by the tens of thousands, and we have a weaponized Department of Justice, CIA and the FBI imprisoning or trying to imprison the leader of the opposition party, and the downtowns of our majestic American cities are filled with litter, trash, garbage, open air drug usage,

and criminals released without bond everywhere. So when the ABC News poll found that the American people are quite unhappy, guess what, they don't understand why. Because they think Bidenomics are working for who and where, not working for average as, not working whatsoever. There's fear walking in the land. Of course, we have more energy beneath our feet in any country in the history of the world, but we can't use it because it doesn't fit a political goal.

The Green New Deal, it's all about. The Green New Deal is going to be great. The Green New Deal is so important. It's really unbelievable what's happening. So I understand the polling. I deal with it. I speak to Americans every day, scared, frightened, concerned where we're going. Public schools that stink I'm looking to my left. Baltimore public schools in the city of Baltimore had zero students in grade school past the mathematic proficiency test.

We have large numbers of urban districts incapable of functioning. They're like daycare, that's all they are. Then you have tens of thousands, soon hundreds of thousands of allego alien kids showing up in schools to be educated, speaking one hundred and twelve different dialects, which collapses urban public education even more. It's worse as taxes continue to skyrocket, the cost of living doubles and triples.

Borrowing money is next to impossible. And we have a job market right now, the millions of jobs going unfilled because Americans are rather going to check in the mail than work. That's the status of America today. I don't want to be negative. I want to be realistic. I want to be objective. So this polling clearly indicates where you and I are as average Americans, and it's not a good place to be. So their resolution for this

will be for Trump to catch more indictments. The Democrats socialists cannot give up. They got ninety one counts and it's going to be re elected president. My god, let'sten diet him on more things, get them locked up quickly, get him in prison before it's too late, so we can install Kamala Harris in the White House. Is your president. That's where we're headed. Oh, let's continue with more. The line becomes available five one, three, seven, four, nine, seven thousand. I want to be positive,

as I always am, but I must be realistic. After one o'clock today we'll be Rob Sanders, the Kent County Prosecutor, about a serial rapist from Covington Catholic High School who began raping girls in the eighth grade and is getting away with it. That's Joseph Ubank. It's disgusting what may happen on Friday with Judge Molloy. She may release him completely unbelievable. Got a twenty five years sentence that he won't serve because of political games being played by the

Basher administration. And more hope Judge Molloy comes to her senses and doesn't release him. Then after two o'clock today will be the Great Dave Lapham breaking it down for the night's game with the Rams and more. My god, do we need help? Of course, healthy unborn babies are killed in the womb by a political movement that demands more fetal blood for each day that passes killing unborn babies. That's what the socialist Democrats stand for. Let's continue with more

right, Billy Cunning in the Great American. An hour ago we heard from Oegger about what's going to happen tonight, And about an hour from now we have the Great Dave Lapham with this prognostications of the Rams and the Bengals tonight what's gonna happen, what's not gonna happen? Is Joey be gonna play? Is he's not gonna play? Does he have a bad calf, Does he have a bad knee, does he have a bad appendix? What's going to happen next? It is so Cincinnati. If we play him and he gets

hurt and snaps his achilles, he's out for one to two years. If we don't play him, that means the Bengals go zero and three. All hell's breaking loose with perspective on this and also Joseph Eubanks is the great Rob Sanders of Kenton County. Rob Sanders, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show this Monday afternoon, getting ready for the Bengals tonight in about six hours. But before we go any further, can I ask you a sports related question?

Absolutely? Will he go ahead? So, what happens if you're in your office is eight thirty in the morning, and you've got a major case, maybe a murder rape case, like a Joseph Eubanks is a serial rapist and then walks to your trial prosecutor and he says to you, you know what, my calf is hurting, I can't play I don't want to prosecute

the case. Or if somebody walks in with a lisp and he's suddenly develop a lisp and he got to stand in front of a jury, do you play a prosecutor that's hurt who's really good or do you substitute that prosecutor for someone who can talk more clearly? What do you do in the courtroom, Willie, We're really just not comparable there because you know, generally speaking, we tell the attorneys you got to suck it up. But then depending on the situation, you know, we can always ask for a continuance. I

don't think the Bengals get the opportunity right there. Maybe we can, maybe we see it out, will it see if we can just bump this game out a week or two and I think the Bengals got like a week five by this year, Maybe we can just back it up to then. But no, if it's not something we can get a continuance for, then we would have to tell the attorney to suck it up, because nobody else is prepared for this game, like the attorney assigned to the case. So hopefully

the Bengals have been preparing whoever is their backup quarterback. Now it seems like they assigned two or three of them in the last week. I think I even heard a J. McCarron's name being thrown aroun, which would had an interesting storyline to this. I just hope he brought his wife back to town with him, because she's much better to look at than anything he did on

the field when he was here. But I heard he had some success in the Usflight or whatever that team or that league the Rock owns is, so you know, maybe he's practiced up and ready to go against the Rams. I'm not sure they're not starting Cooper Cup. They're starting some Pikachu guy or something at wide receivers, and maybe that's somebody that a J. Mccarren can keep up with. So if you had a situation, had a prosecutor that was hurt, you would ask for a continuance. I'm not sure that the

Commissioner's office would grant this continuance, but it's possible. But let's talk seriously about something that happened last week. In Metastasize. We discussed this about two weeks ago about Joseph Eubanks is a serial rapist and I can't imagine the connections he must have in Kentucky to retreat it in such a pattycake style. And Judge malloy, she's got a decision bigger than Montana by the end of this

week. So, first of all, for those who may not be illustrated relative to Joseph Eubanks, can you tell the American people and Tony Bender exactly what this twenty soon twenty one year old Joseph Eubanks did using covecat as a cover to rate girls at Mount Denotre at Notre Dame. Tell me, tell me the facts. Well, back in twenty twenty, Willie, Joseph Eubank was the subject of a massive investigation in Kenton County because, quite frankly,

we didn't know exactly where the first reported rape took place. It was a little vague coming from the victim who was having a very difficult time talking about it, but we had multiple police departments involved. Next thing, we knew that this investigation was growing into an investigation of multiple rapes of multiple victims over the course of the past several years. Basically, what the allegations were was that Joseph Eubank hadn't been raping and sexually abusing girls in his class, or

that he was familiar with. I guess not technically in his class, although it started out that way, because the rape allegations went all the way back to when he was an eighth grader in middle school and continued throughout his high school career, but the earliest one was when he was still an eighth grader. He ultimately pled guilty to rape in sexual abuse four different counts, four

different felony counts, and accepted a twenty five year prison sentence. Now, in Kentucky, wanted juvenile is tried as an adult and is sentenced as an adult. They don't actually go to adult prison right away. They go to a juvenile facility until they turned eighteen years old, and an eighteen years old

usually the juvenile goes on to an adult prison at like eighteen years. In one day, however, mister Eubank and his family file a lawsuit against the Department of Juvenile Justice seeking them to keep him until his twenty first birthday in a juvenile facility. And there is a rarely used portion of Kentucky law that allows juveniles that were tried as an adult to remain in the juvenile facility if they were making great progress. But I had never seen that happen on someone

who had a sentence that would run them past their twenty first birthday. This was always for like kids that stole cars or maybe did a purse snatching robbery type deal. It never anything that I had ever seen used by the Department of Juvenile Justice related to somebody that was convicted not just of rape, but

of raping and victimizing, sexually abusing four different teenage girls. Rather than fight that lawsuit, Andy Basher's Department of Juvenile Justice has rolled over and played dead basically and said, okay, we'll just how about you know, we'll just keep you here until you're twenty one. You just don't do anything with this lawsuit. That lawsuits still pending. It's still out there. It's never been dismissed, it's never been ruled upon. The judge down in Franklin County.

You know, they didn't file it up here in Kenton County, where everybody knows who Joseph Ubank is and what he did. They filed it down in Frankfort, which is Franklin County, And that judge said I can't tell anything from this record. You guys need to take this back to the Department of Juvenile Justice. Make a record. That's all they would have had to do to fight that cases. Go make the record, tell the judge why they

decided what they decided, and fight it out in Franklin's Circuit court. But rather than do that, the Department of Juvenile Justice, which is a part of the Department of Corrections, which ultimately reports to Andy Basher, they didn't do anything. They just played dead and allowed Joseph Eubank to live with juvenile to live with kids. He's twenty years old, convicted serial rapist, and he's still living with kids as young as fourteen years old in this juvenile facility.

Well, then his family sought to use a portion of a Kentucky's Youthful Offender Statute, which I can only assume was meant for minor offenders, you know, kids that hadn't committed some felony crime that got him tried as an adult. But that basically says, if the Department of Juvenile Justice kept it till you're twenty one, you can ask the judge yet one more time, which would be now your third time. Under Sucky law, your third shot

at probation, and that's what Joseph Fubank has done. He filed a motion. Judge Malloy initially ruled it to know we're not having a hearing like Joseph Fubank wanted. We're not dragging these victims back into court yet again for another hearing. You write your motion, comma with you, file your response, and I'll make my ruling. They filed their motion. My response was due

to twenty second. We filed it actually a day early, on the twenty first, and the court has a self imposed deadline of September twenty ninth, which is a day before Joseph fubanks twenty first birthday. Because under Kentucky law, he can't stay in that facility once he turns twenty one, so they're kicking him out one way or the other. If the judge grantson probation, he'll be back out on the street, and my opinion, that would be

a travesty of justice. Or she can say no probation for you, and he will be moved to an adult facility where he belongs, where he should have been three years ago when I had you on a couple of weeks ago. There's a very powerful politician in Kent County, John Drought. I think it's in his eighties, but he knows where the bodies are all over Kenton County who's gone on behalf of Joseph Eubank to get him released. In fact, what if it would be legal for Judge Malloy on Thursday or Friday of

this week to release his serial rapist. I can't imagine it occurring. Of course, now the Eubank family and they're rich and famous on their own right of Hird, Densmore and Schul, a pre eminent law firm, to keep

this thing pending forever. And so what role with the public have between now and Friday and making sure that this covecath graduate who now I thinks as on his way to college and beyond paid for by the taxpayer, who got furloughs walking around places, a serial rapist who started raping little girls when he was in the eighth grade. For God's sakes, four is the tip of the iceberg. In my opinion, she can release him. You know, you

know everything about churist prudence in Kentucky. Are you are you thinking that Judge malloy. She's actually going to release him on Friday. I certainly hope not, Willie. I've had nothing but good experience with Judge law in the past. She has not been a judge all that long. She replaced Judge Greg

Bartlett who retired from the bench. He was the judge that actually presided over Joseph Eubanks case and after he was sent on and it was Judge Bartlett that said, you can only stay there until you're eighteen years and five months, so you can finish your high school diploma, but then it's off to adult prison and no more, no more hearings, nothing, We're not dragging anymore victims back to court. You just go at eighteen years and five months,

you go to prison. And that was before the Eubank family filed that lawsuit I was talking about. And in meantime, Judge Bartlett has retired after a twenty seven plus year career I think it was over thirty year career on the bench here in Kenton County. Judge molloy was appointed to take his place, ran for election, won that election and is now serving an eight year term

here. She's been a good judge, very thoughtful and methodical judge. I'm hopeful that she will come to the right decision on this case as well. But it's a huge decision and although I think it should be one of the easiest decisions a judge has to make. You know, for me, with the other prosecutors, law enforcement that worked on this case, and certainly for the victims in their family, no one will sleep easy until this decision is

made. Until Joseph Eubank is locked up in an adult prison where he belongs, then people will be abillable to rest. Then hopefully the victims can start healing and getting some closure, because every time they think that this fight is over, that this case is settled, that he is going to serve the punishment he so richly deserves, somehow it comes back up. They get drugged back into court, another motion, spot a lawsuits file. You know,

he gets kept in a juvenile facility first. Now he's trying to get out on probation without ever serving a day in real prison. You know, they don't take you on the field trips from real prison, Willie. I know, it's shocking to me that the juvenile facility in our juvenile justice system allows juvenile serial rapists to be taken out and taking the sporting events, or to

visit parks, or to go shopping or go for medical appointments. I mean, it sounds more like a summer camp than it does a prison, because that's certainly what it is. It's not you know, it might not be fun, it might not be where he would have chosen to spend his late teens in his twentieth year on the planet. But it's certainly not an adult prison. And there has not been justice for these victims. No, we hope justice happens to the victims of Joseph Ubank. And Joseph Ubank belongs locked

up in an adult prison for a very long time, for decades. At the right this thing is going he might get out anyway soon. Even an adult prison, they'll fire more lawsuits against him. Andy Bascher's administration as a pit or pad attitude when it comes to criminal justice, Well, we got to run Rob Sanders. I need an update. American people want to be involved, and now is the time to contact Judge Malloy in Kent County to weigh in on this issue. And she's gonna let a decision out by the

end of this week. And Rob Sanders, well, thank you for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Good luck and we'll see what happens. Willie, thank you for having me on. There's been about one hundred people citizens of Kent County and beyond submitted letters to Judge. Is part of our response, letting her know that this you're granting him probation would shock the conscious,

would unduly depreciate the seriousness of his offense. So all eyes are now on the court and as soon as I hear, as soon as I have a ruling here, ruling here back from the court, I will be sure to report back to you and the American people. God bless America. Thank you very much, Rob Sanders, thank you all right, Let's continue with more if the line becomes available. Five one, three, seven, four nine

We have the best offensive light in the country. Sab Hartman won't even get his journey dirty all year. And you look

at coach Day and I coached the Ohio State under what he hates. We won the national championship when I was there. I'd proud of that. However, however, he has lost to Alabama, Georgia, Clebson, Michigan twice and everybody beats him, not on not last Saturday. What about Ryan Day's response, that's physicality across the board, finish it off, having guts. No, I like to know where Lou Boltz is right now. What do he said about our team? What do he said about our team. I

But they beat They beat

Baltimore in a field goal fest? How do this data Colorado do over the weekend with Denver and the Buffaloes. I think Dion got a good sense of kicking. Yeah. I got a text here from Rocky Boyman what I'm starting to feel a little bit upset my stomach, my bowels, I have explosive diarrhea and I have projectile vomiting. I'm not sure I can come in Rocky. I thought that was right there. I thought that was Saturday after his

game. And I got a text here from the Great uh Paul Luck, who makes the following demands and offers, if you're ready, go ahead, I hereby make a commitment that if the Bengals win tonight, I will bring to everyone at iHeartMedia Fresh's big Boys, supersized and hot fudge cakes on Wednesday. If the Bengals win, well you accept a super big boy and a hut. Yes, there's not a question in my mind. Yes, Luck, we will hold you to that promise. And a McKinley mortgage hit the

music. I'm speaking of that saying. And secondly, the big news of the day is will he or won't he? Kelsey Conway Bengals beat reporter with the inquir She does a good job, by the way, Yes, Joe Burrow feeling better and barring a setback, he's gonna go. He's gonna give it a go tonight and try it against the Rams. So we'll see what happens. What if she married Kelsey the tight end of the chiefs Ravis Kelsey, she'd beat Kelsey Kelsey. Can you say something about this report out of

Luncan about private jet has landed at Luncan Airport? Now what Taylor Swift has landed at Luncan Airport? She two time and people again wants to meet Joe Burrow. I bet I'm just saying something's happening. Wait a minute, she makes more he does. She makes more in a week than he makes it a lifetime Bengo and not everything's connected to Cincinnati. Correct? Did he play for D'Antonio here or was it the Senator Tubberville. I think it was D'Antonio.

Travis Kelsey played here right with the Bearcats. Not well known at the time, but now the union of Travis Kelsey yep and Taylor Swift yep, as reported by Kelsey Kelsey, would be a big story. Can you see the media focusing on her and Mike Brown's private box tonight with Troy and his wife and there is the greatest singer of all time. Now that's probably going to stay right there. Okay, we have Jim Herman. I've asked another

UC grad, maybe Jim. Maybe Taylor Swifts coming into see hurt him the great PGA player of great note, Jim Herman, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Can you confirm or deny this rumor because you're a great PGA golfer. Well, I doubt she's coming to see me, but I will be at the game, and that would be pretty nice if she did show up. But my daughter and wife would be pretty upset with it because they're not here and they're they're definitely swifties. So you're saying that she's not coming

here to see you, you better not. That is correct. Yeah, Well, since you have connections to the Ryder Cup, segment had a report out of Rome that Mike McConnell was a backup substitute player and the Ryder Cup. What do your sources tell you about McConnell Rome and Italy. I think he's probably there enjoying the wine and uh the Ryder Cup as a spectator. And I think the team will be just fine if we get to McConnell as a backup. We are. I'm big trouble. Who wins if there's a

matchup between the Reds versus the Bengals? Who wins? Beals? Bengals win all the time? Beals? All right now? I was with you at Clovernook Golfing Country Club yesterday. I met a wonderful woman named Linda Ball who's in the eighteen time Clovernook champion. You've never won the Clovernock Women's Club Championship? Is that fair to say? That's fair? She's won eighteen times. If we had a matchup of Jim Herman against Steve Flesh, and Linda Ball

against Dean Gregory. Who wins each matchup? I will go with Linda Ball and uh, obviously we're playing at Clovernok. It's her her home course. She knows every every Yeah, yeah, Uh. Steve obviously has uh a great great player, has four PGA Tour wins, four five champions Tour wins, and uh, you know, I'm just a three time champion on the PGA Tour. I'm only forty five, so I do have some age on Steve. I might have a little distance on him, although he is a

pretty long hitter for his age. It's nice to call someone. It's nice to call someone older than me. Obviously on the tour. I'm still active on the tour and everyone's half my age, so it's actually nice to Uh, it would be nice to play someone a little older than me. So you're saying Herman beats Flesh and Lynda Ball beach Dean Gregory. Then you have Lynda Ball against you at Clovernook. Who do you like in that matchup? I would go with uh. I can't. I can't bet against myself.

I'm always always gonna bet on yourself, so I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go with myself. Who and Harry Alexander is the referee? That'd be strong? Yes, well, well, obviously Harry's paid by Clover Country Club, so I think she may hover may get the favorable ruler. What a Burry the great man? Though? What about your grandpa? What about Ed burkele? What can you tell me about him? Ed Burke one of the finest, finest America that's ever lived. So proud to have him as my grandfather.

There's not a better man alive. What he's done for our country. He's one hundred and three. I saw him on Wednesday. I came in town to visit the family and Grandpa Turk was being honored. He was the hometown hero at the Reds game on Wednesday night or Wednesday afternoon. I'm sorry, Unfortunately the Reds had had the lead and Bulleton couldn't hang on for him. But it was a great day. He's a great man, a great American, as you always say. And uh, he's one of the best.

Ed Burke is. Now. Lastly, should Joe Dieters have assassinated harambe? I don't think I'm up to date on this. Uh, Harambe the gorilla, Gorilla in zoo, Gorilla from the zoo. Oh my gosh, are you are you? Are you accusing? Yes? Yeah, oh yes, he killed hard By. I think he would. He would have helped forced that maybe to his brother. Buzz Buzz. He's an assassin. Buzz Theaters is an assassin who won your matchesterday. By the way, did Buzz

buzz s take you down segment? Hello? Hello? A bad connection there, Jim, go ahead, Jim Herman. We got a rob him. But uh there was a st Yeah, there was a sting. Figured that's what I figured. Willie. I carried him so far, but I had him my shoulders for nine ols and the last nine oles I was crushed under his weight and I couldn't fight. Buzz will wear on you, you know, NonStop verbal barrage. He does not, he does not. I can't wait to see him. I'm gonna be tailgating with him later this evening.

I think Buzz he was. He got me a couple of tickets, got my brother couple of say next grads. And by the way, you talk about Rocky, I mean I was there for the Reds on Wednesday, Say next game on Friday. Oh, I went to the Oakhol, I went to the Oklahoma. Don't go tonight, and I'm going to the game. I'm going to the game tonight. So I mean, you gotta win one of these, Jim, not necessarily. All right, we're praying, we're praying. We'll say the whole rosary. But Jim, get my best to

lend the ball. She's a great American and Ed Burke, Ed Burke, Burke the best, the best, one hundred and three. All right, Jim, good luck to you and report live from the Ryder Cup. Will you talk to me about Mike McConnell over there to play for the American team in cases an injury with Jordan's speeth. Well, obviously they've got great backups and we do not want to have to get the mic. No, Jim,

Jim Herman, thank you very much. I'll say thank you. Willie come on there, you go, say get me into the We're in a premature Stoode report. Please go ahead, will leave. The Stude Report is a proud service of our local tame Star Heating and air conditioning dealers, tame Star Quality. You can field in beautiful northern Kentucky. Call any whether Heating and Air eight five, nine, seventy eight, one forty eight, twenty two spot. Pretty good matchup there. Our coverage starts today at three with

the Bengals. The Reds are off today, they are in Cleveland starting tomorrow. Well, we have Dave Lapham coming up in about ten minutes to lay down the law on Joe Burrow. But according to the Inquirer reporter correct Kelsey, Conway Kelsey says, who's not dating Travis Kelsey become a Kelsey Kelsey. That the probability is he's gonna play unless there's a setback, going to try and give it a go. So at four o'clock, don't you to say yea your nay And I believe that's the deadline. So we got time,

all right? Segment? Is that it in sports? Yes, as we have many matchups happening, including the assassination of Harambe by Joe Dieters. He will pay for that in this world or the next, boy, is that true? Whatever you say, get me out of the students report. Will they an houtter of Hude nation rising up today to get a dub and Travis Kelsey. We leave you with the immortal words of the STU Report. Well, I would say that Travis Kelsey has had a lot. Kelsey has had

a lot of big catches in his career. This would be the biggest. Bill Belichick funny man, he is funny when this has dominated the NFL, That's all I see. And is she landing here to take Joe Burrow away from that fiance? No? On seven hundred All the biggest stars in all of music shared this stage at our twenty twenty three I Heart Radio Music Festival. A good woman steal, I'm a cold woman less? How to make a yogirl sweet? Want to be up? Put the baby in yo?

I'm but I'm bad of the bowl, bad of the boad of the bow. Billy Cunningham, the great American. Of course, the voice of your Bengals is the great Dave Lapham, along with Dan Horde. Breaking it all down. Action starts in about six hours right here, gonna be unbelievable action, because, let's face it, this is a This is a monumental effort by the Rams to redo what they did in the Super Bowl a couple of years ago. Will Joe Burrow play? Will he not play? And Dave

Lapham has all the answers. Dave Lapham, Welcome again to the Bill Cunningham Show. Can you tell the American people this afternoon? Yea or nay? On the Great Number nine? Well, I know the Great Number nine worked out late morning, early afternoon under the eyeballs of many interested coaches, in front office people, et cetera, with teammates to see if he would be able to go this afternoon. So it's a fifty fifty proposition. I guess

based on how that workout has gone. And there's obviously a few within the organization that know. But it looks like it's going to be a game time a scenario unless somebody uncovers it before that. But I would think that you would definitely know when the deactives come out. If Joe Burrows deactivated, that's an obvious answer. If he's up, that's an obvious answer. If he's one of the fifty three players, he's starting. If he can't go,

he's going to be deactivated. It's gonna be that simple. And Dave Lapham, he's secretariat. He wants to run the race. Of course, I watched earlier today some of the so called experts on ESPM and Fox Sports saying the smart money said he would not. We had some and s, but reports saying the smart money says he will left up to Joe Burrow. He's gonna play. It'll be up to the trainers and up to those individuals that

take him down. What impact on this did the cart ride with Mike Brown that was the most well played twenty five second cart ride in the history of golf. Mike Brown is on the field of honor, picks up Joe Burrow, who's stretching. The other players look up and say, take a look at this deal. So Mike Brown carted him around a little bit. Some said when he got out to hit a frown on his face. Others say

when he got out of the cart, Joe Burrow was smiling. What does the Dave Lapham say about the smile or the frown on Joe Burrow's face after the cart ride with Mike Brown might have been both knowing Joe he might have had a frown, then he turned it upside down. Who knows, or he had a smile and he turned that upside down to a frown. Well, so we don't know. He goes, yeah, well, I think he knows that that was going to be watched closely, so he's not going

to give any any body language secrets away or whatever the case. Maybe he'll let people draw their own conclusions. But I think I think all that was talked about was, you know, Mike Brown saying, look, Joe, if if you feel that you are unable to go and take care of yourself in so doing, if you feel like you'd be vulnerable by playing because lack of movement where the case may be, don't push it. You know what we were looking for the long term here. We've signed you to a long

term deal for the highest paid quarterback in NFL history. We're not thinking sure term, we're thinking long term. Now. If he if he's in a situation where he can do no further damage to the calf strain, and you know he has to it's a pain tallerance thing, he'll play and the medical people will probably let him play because Joe's a tough dude, tough physically,

tough mentally, all that kind of thing. But if there's a possibility that he could do more extensive damage to the calf, which could lead to other issues. You know, the caps right about the Achilles tendem and You don't want to think about any of those kind of crazy dynamics, that's for sure. So you do have to do your due diligence and be smart about about all of it. There's no doubt that Joe Burrow wants to play. He's a competitor, loves his teammates, teammates love him. He wants to be

part of it. But if it doesn't make sense, I think that's the whole thing. I think that was the whole session subject, or basically the message that was livered by Mike Brown. If it doesn't make sense, don't force the issue, don't push it. And Dave Lapham on the on the Rams defensive line, you have a guided missile number ninety nine who has a target on the chest of Joe Burrow and that defensive line rush. Perhaps the greatest alignment of all time is Aaron Donald of of your Los Angeles Rams,

wearing number ninety nine. Maybe a bit better than Big Daddy Lipscomb. I'm not sure, but maybe the greatest alignment of all time to put a target into the Rams. This is a huge game because of where they are in the same division with the forty nine ers. We tend to think a thing. From a Cincinnati perspective, how important the game is. But from a RAMS perspective, it's equally important. The forty nine ers look impregnable. They

look like that Joe Montana forty nine ers, for God's sakes. And so from the Rams perspective, they see a wounded Joe Burrow, they see a secretariat with a bad leg, and they're gonna put a target on him an attack. So from a RAMS perspective, how big is the game for the Rams? Oh, it's massive, there's no question about it. I mean for the Bengals perspective. In the Super Bowl era, children fifty one teams have started owing three and just six made the playoffs. That's in the Super

Bowl era. Under the current playoff format since twenty twenty made a little playoff adjustment one and two starts teams that have started one and two to bed the playoffs thirty percent of the time, almost almost one out of every three. So you don't want to bury yourself oh and three. So it's it's the numbers say that it's massive for the Bengals in common sense as it's massive for the Bengals. Yeah, like you said, Willie, I mean This is a This is a big, big deal for the for the Rams. The

Rams last year sucked. They were five and twelve, they lost sixth straight and in the second half of the season they went two and nine to finish the year terrible. I mean they were They were sitting at at seven and three and went two and nine, worst year by defending Super Bowl champion in National Football League history. So they don't like that. They want to rebound

from that, and they got rid of a lot of players. Bobby Wagner's aren't there anymore, Leonard Floyd, Jalen Ramsey, and people are like, oh, it's a rebuild. Oh not so fast, my friend's and remodel. It's not a rebuild because, like you said, they have Aaron Donald who he's one of three players in NFL history they're winning three defensive Player of the Year awards. And the other two are Lawrence Taylor and J. J. Watt not be pretty good, comfort not bad. And the other guy

the other he straws. He stirs the defensive drink. He's that straw. The guy that stirs the offensive drink is Matthew Stafford. Now you know he doesn't have the gun that he once had, There's no question about that. But he can still make every throw and can make a game, can make every throw with some zip on the football. I mean, he was a human juge machine in his earlier years. He's not quite that anymore. But the dude can still throw the pill, no question, and big game every

which way around. I think the smart money says he plays or tries to play is sixty percent of Joe Burrow, better than one hundred percent of Jake Browning. But Jared have sixty percent Joe or one hundred percent of the Jake. Well, the other the other parts that you have to consider is the long term, short term deal. I mean, honestly, this calf injury, I think they're gonna be going through this routine multiple times during the course

of the rest of the season. These things are tricky. They just don't go away. They start to feel a lot better, and then all of a sudden you tweak it again, you know. And that's the thing. If Joe's out there planning stones four good balls and what will the fifth ball be? When I feel that? And now you're like, am I gonna

feel it? Am? I'm not gonna see I mean, it's like just a it's a paint and the ass to have to try to play through that kind of that kind of scenario and if he does tweak it worse, you know. Now, Now your situation is you have Jake Browning for an extended period of time, at least until after the bye week, if he tweaks at any any worse than it than it is right now. And again, he can handle a lot of pain. I mean, the dude. The

dudes as tough as there is really mentally and physically. Give me your report on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey. Of course, the media is going nuts on that, and Travis Kelsey has deep actions to the UC Bearcats, Taylor Swift going nuts. Did you see what was happening yesterday in Kansas City? The unspoken love between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelsey? Did you could you feel the passion? I wonder, you know, I would? It would be

great. I think Bill Belichick had the greatest line on that ever so far. He said, Boy, Travis Kelsey's made a lot of big catches during his career, but none bigger than this one. Leave it to Bill Belichick to sum it up. You know, Well, this is unbelievable. Of course, everything in the world has a Cincinnati connection, and of course Kelsey and his brother spent like four years here. Pretty good, pretty good tight end. And I don't know what to say about these star cross lovers,

but that's the big story. And of course the Congo line in Dolphin Land I watched this morning. I didn't see the game live seventy to twenty. You talk about a beatdown, that's like when student Nurse is teted up against Richard Speck in Chicago many years ago, and the Dolphins literally are doing a conga line with a kicking out el Kuka racha against h against the Denver Broncos. Unbelievable. What happened there? Sean Payton went after the old coacha for

the for the Denver Broncos. What allows you job he did? Now there's a congo line in Miami. Your reactions, Yeah, my first reaction on the final reaction on the Swift Kelsey thing. If they're there, yeah, if there is nothing really going on. Romantically, greatest marketing move ever because you're taking the NFL audience and you're taking a big international music audience, and

you're co mingling the whole thing. It's like they're just from a social media standpoint, their clicks are gonna just They're gonna have additional people back and forth. It is a shared marketing genius move, if in fact, that's all it is. But it's more than that. God bless both of them. Would you like to be a m in Kansas City? Can you see the Chiefs players dealing with Travis Kelsey right now? Can you imagine that? Would you like to have a microphone in that locker room? I think each and

every one of them are. They're bowing down to him, so like you know, he's he's the Messiah. He is swift, going nuts with your mom. Oh my god, we got a roll. Da Dave, you're the best at this. You've done it for fifty years. You've seen it all, You've done it all. My forty years are nothing compared to your fifty years with the Bengals. Tell me what happens tonight and give me the final score. Let's jump ahead about six hours. Does he play, does

he not play? And who wins the game? Well? I think I think there's a strong chance he plays, but I would not be shocked if he does not play. That's that's where I am right now. And I don't think we're gonna see seventy points in seven hundred and twenty six yards put up like two it did with the Miami Dolphins. No matter who's quarterbacking, that's not gonna happen seven six yards? Are you kidding me? Seventy points? Are you kidding me? That's the National Football League? Come on,

man, they had two rating backs, he'd scored four touchdowns. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's obscene. It's obscene. But you know, I'm gonna be very interested to see how the Bengals handle Sean McVeigh in his offense is schematically because you know the Bengals offense, it's gonna be who's going to be at the quarterback position that that's gonna be obviously the huge factor. But McVeigh and Laflora, they've used a lot of motion to collect information. Defensive

eyes have to be right. They've got to communicate mc They use a hard count, a quick count. He changes a launch point for Stafford with bootlegs with nakeds who have a couple of gadgets. I mean, it's gonna be interesting. If the Bengals can can pull this off, it would be a hell of a win and get their season and turned around and started. You

know, Joe Burrow is still a single man. But if Taylor Swift shows up at Baghorn his cheer on our quarterback, that'd be something you'd have a You'd have a cat fight going on between Travis Kelsey and Joe Burrow and who wins that matchup? Well, I wish, I wish Taylor Swift would donate her calf for Joe Barrow. That would work. I mean, if we could get a good calf for Joe Burrow, no matter if it's male, female, whatever it is. I just want a calf, that's all I

want. Give me a calf. Well, that's the only part of her anatomy I'm not interested in. So I hear you hear that? All right? Well, I think you might give it up. She will me give it up, that's what. Yeah, it's like, you know, it's not really that benefficient, it's not useless. No, I'll give up the calf. I don't mean I got an extra calf. He can have one of mine. It sounds like an Ambish farmer in Adams County. For God's sakes, alright, Dave Lapham, thank you for your analysis. My pleasure

will anytime you're the man. Thank you, Dave. I'll see you later. Yeah, oh my god. The calf, the calf heard around the world. News and more. Next, that's your home of the Bengals, Reds and more. News Radio seven hundred w Altomy. Yeah for Desmond Ritter and the UC bear Cats. He takes the snap, he takes a knee, He pumps his fist, and the celebration begins at Notre Dame Stadium. Opportunity seized as the Bearcats send a message to the college football world. Did

you see that? Cincinnati wins at twenty four two thirteen. The snap Columbia to a knee, and here goes the final countdown as Marshall's thundering herd runs to midfield at Notre Dame Stadium. We're down to three and two and one. It's a finals. Marshall twenty six, number eight Notre Dame twenty one. Let's repeat that one more time, twenty six to twenty one. Marshall

wins it at Notre Dame. According to shotgun train him off his right hip two wide to the right snap, McCord hands to train him straight at lone touchdown, Chip trade them for the second straight week by a converted linebacker finds the end zone and that'll win it for Ohio State. Hello, hello, hello, quiet, And I'm just I'm broadcasting. We call it. This is Rocky's ring tone in it. That was a right weekend for the Rocks. That's all I gotta say. All around. I mean, I assume

Saint X line and they beat Elda. So I actually out. So I was in Montgomery, Alabama for the weekend for the Troy Western Kentucky game. All right, I did that on Saturday, so we got to eat on Friday back. I'm like, I'm gonna turn on the Saint X game. It's they they broadcast check it out. Their offense looks great, kind of a new scheme, no problem, kind of don't do so well right at the end, goes into overtime, Los Elder or we score two points,

kick the extra point. Elder scores, says, lets nope, we're going for two. They get it. Loss understand. Also, your son's nine mo old teams out of hand. So yeah, so that happened Friday. So then the next day, I get out, I got my game, and I don't you know, I have my wife text me what's going on, but not while I'm on a doing my SA So turn over my phone after our games about you know, seventy text messages and find out the Sun's team with loss, they want you fired to dam Yeah, you're not going

to the game tonight. I hope no. No. So then I after the game that I did down there, Okay, I get in the car. I drive three hours of Atlanta so I can get home on Saturday night. Get there. Well, I'm there. I'm watching another damn game. We look great. We're running the ball, We're wearing the ball down their throats. So I get on the plane and this is I get right at the end of the game and I'm looking out on my phone. The plane is taking off. We arecending into the air. I'm like, we're gonna

see it. I'm gonna see it happen. It's fourth and whatever we got only got to do his horn and we win the game. The phone connection goes out. I don't know what happened. I'm like, what's going on? Around? The playing around and finally we get up to thirty thousand feet. The internet comes back and I see the celebration on Notre Dame field. Look, I asked for another cocktails. What's the name of the cent song we're playing? Knowing? How about lou Hols? Yeah, how about look

lou Hols go? The man is eighty six years old. So he spouted off a little bit and ran as over it. Well, we sure did. What are you doing tonight about twenty a better football team than here we go? He's playing in the crowd. Let me tell you why. Let me tell you we have the best offense of light in the country. Sab Hartman won't naven get his journey dirty all year and you look at coach day and I coached the Ohio State under what the age? We won the national

championship when I was there. I'm proud of that. However, he has lust to Alabama Georgia Facts Club said facts Michigan twice and everybody beats him according to shotgun train them off his right hip too wide to the right snap of cord hands to train him straight in touchdown chip train. We had ten guys, How does that happen? This? Kids played their tails? Arcis free right game? I tell you. Why isn't the DC. Isn't that guy in charge of making sure there's eleven players on the field? Yes, and

that would be a golden I don't know that. They called a timeout and came on the sideline, and I guess they didn't get the right personnel group. Somebody wasn't in. But it happened the one time. How does that? At some point there's a million eyes, there's twelve coaches in the box, another twelve on the field. You can kind of see when there's a hole, right, somebody's not there, Hony? How many national titles? Is Ohio States all that big hole too? You mean the last fifty years

are going football coach? There? He is? No like. I like to know where Lou Holtz is right now? What are you said about our after an eighty six year old mate? Yeah, I cannot believe this is a tough team right here from Ohio. How many nationals? Ryan Day have? I think zero? How many is Lou Holtz have? Say? Well, I don't know one. Yeah, Okay's head coach? Head coach? What it was thirty seven years ago? Right? Relevant? Irrelevant? Holtz

can coach now he's eighty six, eighty six. He couldn't coach. Then he was lucky. But ye are you going to the game that I you know, staying the hell away from that because things aren't going to watch. Don't listen. I get cold. Ran high school one right, No six, the park, the park dropped one in double O team by a point. It's a great weekend for everybody. Well, wait a minute, your colts won and over time though Titans lost. Though the Titans, Kelsey took

out the Ravens, so good for them. But Taylor Swift, I heard her report she's landed at lunk and to meet Joe Burrow. Is she good with calves? The massage? We're talking now, whatever it takes. Didn't she play at pay Corps? Doesn't matter, didn't she? Yeah? She was there twice? Right, Maybe she looked she's coming back. Maybe she left something Lingerie left in the locker room. Joe Burrow white, the heck what I fiance has He's looking at something a little bigger, swifty? And

what did Bill Belichick say? Little more miles on it too? What Miles? Well, I would say that Travis Kelcey's had a lot, but Kelsey has had a lot of big catches. In his career. This would be the biggest jokes. Even he's joining in on it. What happens if she's there to night, sitting with Katie Blackburn Brown cheering on her new man, Joe Burrows. See, we had this dream of Kate Upton coming in city in Great American Ballpark and mark shots old seat. We didn't get that.

That didn't happen. But Swift, wait a minute, we just heard. Yes, Taylor Swift is m seeing apparently the halftime of the Ring of Honor. She's also m seeing the sant X Hall of Fame banquet later on. Later on, I'm just saying, do you want to just talk about your life, Rocky, the failures that we were very poors, We were very cognisant. Oh yeah, of your of your feeling very worried. I heard it one you were Kelsey Conway. The inquir says, he's gonna play.

But if she married Travis Kelsey, what would her name be? Kelsey Kelsey. That's my point. There's the connection right there there. It is. Yeah, it makes sense, metaphysical. Say give me some sports Kelsey and Swifts. It's a real thing. Well, I mean it's they walked down hand in hand yesterday and they're writting around in the purple convertible all over town. Can you see the locker room today with the brothers in the locker room

looking at Travis Kelsey? Would you like to be in there for that one? I couldn't imagine, Willie. The Stude reporters a pro service of your local time Star heating and air conditioning dealers. Tame star quality you could feel in beautiful Southwest Ohio. Call Better Choice Heating and Cooling at five one, three, eight, six, eight thirty three eighty eight spot rock Who wins

tonight? Give me the winner? Bengals got the better roster, and if we can be the Rams without Joe Burrow or with Joe Burrow, we don't deserve to go to the playoffs. And we have a commitment on super Big Boys and hot fudge cakes on Wednesday. Yeah, if the Bengals win, Paul luck is gonna bring in hot fudge cakes. Will you be here Wednesday? Depends depends on what happens Sax or another damer kind of between Joe Biden

talking about depends. I don't know anyway, Go ahead, Willie, let's see they inquire and Kelsey Conway says that barring any setback, Joe Burrow's calf says, it's feeling better and anything from now until kickoff, he's gonna go. He's gonna try to play against the Rams. Rock your reaction. Let's do it. Save the season. Save the season. Don't forget the tailgate crashers, pregame party at Longworth, all coming up from four to seven, Baby, want to see you there. Save the season. Three weeks ago

it was Super Bowl in Las Vegas. Now save the season. Big contracts, lots of money. I told you they shouldn't have They should have waited. It's like Joey Votto. Imagine John Wayne, what if he had a bad calf? It off and shoot it off. It's like you did it, Saint Savior, Saint save your grade school. That's what I said. Imagine doing Notre Dame. You got a bad calf? Can you play rock on bad calf? You would say, chew it off and let's play.

But no, no, today, you signed a big deal. You're starting to date Taylor Swift on the TL And now what if we if the Bengals lose to Night, we will have no hope. Oh nothing, we're going off the year. We're not even to October and no hope. But the Reds at least we got to the weekend nine nine, nothing in the Saturday night and lose thirteen. Oh you see, celebrate it the fact they got a first twenty to six. That's not bad. It's that group they dallast

Saturfield with gatorade after they got a first down. Welcome to the big twelve brother, now they got it now at Friday night in Provo, Utah. Good luck with that. It's b Yu and the Cats. It was a victory that lose by two touchdowns at home. That was a victory. Most telling me, that's good, that's good. But do you have any hope? I have no hope. I got none, Yes, I got none. Always hope, rock, I mean when when the max. This is

the year for the Bengals. This is it. This is it is six roster ever right, best roster things from a money standpoint, aligned to where they can be held together for at least this year. Next year probably not so much. Probably the best one since they've since Boomer's been here. And he gets honored Ring of Honor tonight along with Chad Johnson. It's over. Maybe those two could play. So you think the bean galleys go down tonight. If Taylor Swift shows up, they win that she doesn't show she played

it. How do you know she's not coming in to see you again tonight? You might be deferring all this, you know, attention away from other people. And and miss Swift is coming in to see the Great America's got a few miles on her and my wife's out of town. She's at the Built Blow. She's at the Biltmore in Nashville with Johnny Kraft, and I'm alone tonight. Can't say I should say that if she's in a different area code, it doesn't count. The plane lands about three o'clock at Lincoln,

Swift, are you better get out? Are you gonna meet her? It'll be like when Kenn Griffy Junior landed with Carl Linder and the White stuts.

Here comes Taylor and does she turned right to ken Wood or left? She left a note for Joe bur her hair dresser nose for sure to be in that locker room in Kansas City. Imagine shows that wearing a number nine Joe Burrow, the world would just just blow up with Katie sitting the next controversy, Mike Brown's Mike for that horrible Hattie had me, I look like a Taylor who had They wouldn't even no camera would be on the field and the

white who he sh't? Who's that? Who's that? Who's that? Well, that's there's our man right there in South Carolina, Mattie Summerville, South Carolina, the Trumpster. Do you think Mike Brown has ever heard of Taylor Swift nopecually listening to her music all the time, you'd be surprised. I bet Travis gonna have a big song written about him. So to day.

With the communications you have, you can talk to people anytime anywhere. His lunch played out out there or Graham Bell, him and Mike Brown got along pretty well. Boy. I can see her in the owner's box tonight, Taylor Swift. What if t Swift was there and the Trumps? Oh, nobody to watch the game. So what's on the big show today? You got Goldsmith right out of gate he has some information we need information. He's

going to give us here. That's right out of the gate. At three, it's four o'clock the drop dead you got, Yeah, that's when they have to. I believe the four is when they have to elevate someone to the practice squad. A J. McCarroll, I'll do the active AJ mccaren A J. McCarroll, look out, is A J's wife going to be

here? Can't say, can't say Usberger got in trouble. You've got enough problems with If the Bengals loose tonight, I wouldn't rep or Tomorrow's rock, I'd say to hell with it. See a long Worth Hall who Day? We had that game one versus Ohio State played better than them? How many players are on defense? Maybe? He said twice they've done it? Is it ten or eleven? I don't know? Maybe kill Notre Dame can't count
