I don't know why Joe went through this yesterday or two days ago or I think it was yesterday or whatever. You know, I saw the whole thing and, you know, it's hard to feel bad for a guy who's making $177 million up to this point. No one feels bad for him. They're just interested if, like, if does he want to leave Cincinnati. Right. That's all anybody cares. And I know that, you know, Adam Schaefter's out there talking about how he was receiving calls from other teams.

Is this real?

And then he started reeling off the teams.

Like, what would happen if the Vikings got them? What would happen if the Raiders got them? What would happen if the Jets got him? I mean, all I know is that there is a lot of money, a lot of dead cap money that's there for Cincinnati that I don't know how if he wanted to leave.

I don't know how that would work.

And then, by the way, they have done everything they possibly can to keep him happy by

signing all of his wide receivers.

And I know he's been sacked a lot a lot of times.

And I always tell you this on the show, that sacks

sometimes happen because the quarterback holds onto the ball. You know, you have to get rid of the

ball. There are guys like Matthew Stafford and Josh Allen that are playing unbelievable football

that don't have nearly, I don't know, a quarter of the sacks that Joe has when he plays.

So part of that is on him. Part of that is on the team in the offensive line. Part of it is the fact that their defense is getting shredded every week. But, you know, last week he threw back-to-back interceptions that ended up costing his team the game. And that's unlike him. I mean, the first interception last week, you know, that that was a doozy the second one was a tip ball that can happen to anybody but uh yeah prior to that he looked

amazing yeah well i mean the last few games he's looked amazing he's looked like he's you know

back to normal and playing well i think what ends up happening is that sometimes the losing just

takes hold and on top of that the

injuries and then whatever else is going on in his life i i don't i don't want to speculate about

any of that stuff i don't know why he felt like this was a therapy session in front of the media i'm

not really sure about that but he was asked the questions and then he decided to answer the questions

pretty honestly he didn't go

super in depth about it but it did sound to me like it wasn't a bengals thing it was like a football

thing and he's talking about how i got you know having fun doing it and i need to have fun doing it
