All right. Let's touch table on some football, shall we? David, the floor is yours, my good man.

0:07.3

David? Yeah. Let's get right to it, guys. Joe Burrough spoke last Wednesday regarding his future, and it was kind of dark.

0:15.0

Kind of sounded like he was going to give up, hang it up, and be done. Today he spoke again saying, I'm going to be playing football

0:21.9

for a long time. Then he said, I can't see that, no, that maybe I'm not with the Bengals,

0:28.5

but you think about a lot of things. Yeah, there it is. Is he asking out in the off season?

0:34.0

I have, I have manifested this since the off season with what they were doing to

0:38.4

Trey Hendricks. And I have said a hundred times, Joe Burrow's going to ask out. We are getting so

0:43.4

close to it. Now look, I know the contract will make it difficult. Maybe it's not tomorrow. Rico,

0:49.4

it's, it's that, it's that gif. It's happening. It's happening. Joe Burrow, get out of Sinty. Do it for you. Do it for your family.

1:00.0

Okay, David. It's happening. You know what? I'm just going to let him have that moment. I won't say what I was going to say.

1:06.2

Say it. Just going on. You'll say I'm being a defund. Or maybe he's just going to way wear Andrew Luck and he just walks away from the game. It's fair because they've missed the same amount of games at the same age. But he just got done saying I'm playing for a long time. Correct. But it's kind of changed from last week. That thought was in the air last week. I agree with you. How could you not? He looked catatonic up there. He likes walking the runway in Paris and he just looks like, you know what? I'd rather do other things with my life. I've had fun playing football, but I want to do other stuff. I'm still young. So these are the quotes from last week. If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it. I've been through a lot,

1:45.2

and if it's not fun, then what am I doing it for? So you're right. That was part of his last

1:49.9

week's speech, and it was very dark. He was sitting there kind of low in his chair. People were

1:54.0

like, what's happening here? Or, you know what? Maybe he has to be traded. I don't know, but

2:00.4

it's Cincinnati. nothing ever happens there.

2:04.5

It's just a lot of angry people who play for that team.

2:06.8

Which then leads me to transition to, Mike, your current quarterback, and you mentioned yesterday how Jackson Dard is tired of being checked in the blue tent for concussions here, just wants to keep playing.

2:19.3

Well, the NFC East is on the in-season hard knocks.

2:24.6

And yesterday, it was the commanders in their team meeting for their defense,

2:30.3

where head coach Dan Quinn told his players that the Giants quarterback is a running first quarterback.

2:37.0

Go after him and then the defensive coordinator comes in and says, yes, you hit him and you hit him hard.

2:42.8

I love it.
