Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

Listen, I don't ever want anybody telling me how to run my business. So I'm not going to tell anybody

how to run theirs. But let me just say this much about the Cincinnati Bengals. I'm not going to tell

them how to run their business. I'm just going to say, I don't understand how they do business.

And their extremely weird business dealings really do seem to create constant distractions.

Distractions they don't need. Distractions, they could be avoided.

And I thought that was the whole thing of every professional sports franchise. Avoid distractions.

Case in point. They're getting started on a new season and the biggest story in Bengals

minicamp is that they're all pro pass rusher is not in

Bengals mini camp.

And regardless of what you think about Trey Hendrickson and how he's approached his whole holdout

and what he's actually worth, we know this much.

This much I do know.

He's worth more than the 16 mil.

The Bengals are supposed to pay him this year.

I think we can all agree on that, except maybe the Bengals.

But consider that he led the league in sacks by three and a half.

I'll give you your comp because this is the comp that he's pointing to. He led the league in sacks by three and a half. I'll give you your comp because this is the comp that he's pointing to.

He led the league in sacks by three and a half over Miles Garrett.

Miles Garrett just signed for 40 mil per hour.

40.

Okay, fine.
