The

The Good morning Bucknunders welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5.

Here on Monday, March 2nd, 2026.

I am Dave Biddle.

Very happy to be joined by Juck Milletti.

I didn't want to get your name, last name wrong, Meletti, because one of my favorite pizza places in Columbus is this little hole in the wall called Minnellys. So I thought I was, I was really going to call you Minnelli. The late great Dwayne long turned me on to that place long ago. But Chuck, it's been great getting to know you the last couple of months. And thank you for joining me on the show today.

I'm a longtime Bucknutter day.

Very, very, very thrilling for me to be on with you this morning.

For those that are wondering, Dan Rubin is in New York.

And I thought this would be a great time to have Juck on the show.

We talked months ago, you know, I'd love to have you on the show.

And then we were on the Bill and Doug show last week.

And I'm like, I got to get Juck on. So Dan will be back tomorrow. But Juck and I are going to talk about a bunch of Buckeye stuff. Matt Patricia on the McAfee show and what he said. And can they reload as much as we need them to reload on defense? Obviously, the combine. We're going to get into that. And Jucks already talked about this apparently but i do want to get into uh Cincinnati suing Brendan Sorsby for a million dollars. It's funny when I texted you yesterday. I wanted to talk about that. You're like I just did a show about that. No, no, no, no. I just recorded it. I didn't put it out yet. Oh, okay. Okay. So I am beating you the plunge kind of. You are. Kind of. All right. So that was a really good interview with Patricia.

You know, my YouTube algorithm is on point. I just pulled it up and it was like, bam. And it was so good. It was so informative.

A.J. Hawk being there, I think just adds to it. It was just so informative. He seems pretty confident despite the fact they're going to lose four first round picks off that defense,

that they're going to be able to reload, Chuck. You know, when we look at Patricia,

and all of a sudden, you bring in all these veteran guys who are guys that, you know,

and we've talked about the guys. There's not many of them that stand out as just like,

this is going to be a superstar guy, but these are mature guys who've had relatively

good careers.

And it almost feels to me like they're coming to Matt Patricia finishing school.

And I'm sure he played a big part in the selection process, the personality types that he wanted,
