Press the microphone and record your message for Austin and tone.

Please keep it clean and don'pe be mean.

At a sprinkle sprinkle drip drift.

It's that confort Tonbacks.

It's our favorite party since three sixty So Austin, buddy, play those monkbacks on your screen and please right now to cybertag all.

Right, the Friday Football Frenzy Edition ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati Sports Station.

Let's see what we got today, Austin.

Sad news about Greg Biffle and his family yesterday in North Carolina.

Condolences to everyone in the Biffo family and NASCAR community.

Good luck to wal Burrow this weekend.

I love watching Walburrow play, except for last weekend when he got a whipping five points in the quarterfinals of my fantasy football tournament Time Out Harry Christmas Surprise.

He scored that many points out one incredibly sad news around Greg Biffle and his family.

By all accounts, the guy gave back and did so much for uh, for others in need the fantasy football thing.

I'm under the semis Austin.

Last night I chose to bench, well, I didn't bench.

I have Josh Allen and Matthew Stafford, but I kept Stafford on the bench.

He drop thirty.

He was wisdards of Pultampio Quick, Canty, Chris Nicket, Peter Shreggor.

And we just wanted to bring a little segment of can he or.

Can't he to your show today, guys, and can't he?

We just want to ask you, can Burrow or can't Burrow?

Get his head out of his ass and quit being sad.

You know, I don't think he can.

I don't think he can, and I think you're going quit on his team, and we hope he doesn't, guys, But good luck with everybody.

Good luck brow.

I'm gonna say, can he he can?

Hey, fellas, it's Vannie Austin.

See to play Borrow, he'd.

Get his confidence back.

Think about it last couple of years.

Last year and then all this.

Year he had to win every game.

Man, that can make the playoffs.

Now it can just have.

Fun, relax fling the ball around?

Man, what's up with this?

You're out of contention.

You don't play your stars.

Man.

If that's the.

Case, Joey Bonto would have played like half a season every year.

What are we doing?

Many rarely makes a good point, but he made one there.

My one Cincinnati Sports Christmas wish would be for Jeff Bezos to buy the Bengals.

Not only would he have deep enough pockets to buy the damn Lombardi if that's what it took, but they could rename the stadium the Amazon Jungle.

Ooh about that, the Amazon Jeff Bezos bought the Bengals, they wouldn't be in Cincinnati much longer after that.

No, my wishes for Wes Miller to get a lifetime.

Come the James Franklin of the NCAA men's basketball programs.

Boy, what's up, guys, Big cahoone in Kentucky.

Christmas wish for Cincinnati Sports, that's easy.

Fire Zach Taylor.

I mean, you know everybody wants to talk about Duke Tobin.

And all this.

I mean, yeah, look, I mean some of the guys that he signed, like Geno Stone, I believe he led the AFC, if not the NFL and interceptions.

The year before he came here.

They they got Kappa.

And Karras and all them guys on the offensive line.

Them guys were good signings.

The guy from Dallas, he was good signings.

It's the coaching.

It's all coaching.

Get this guy out of town.

He's the common denominator.

Agreed.

Hey, guys, murder from the grove.

My Cincinnati Christmas wish, and all I see is pretty simple.

I just want to parade.

I don't care what it is at this point.

Just give me a parade to go to for the celebrated championship.

That's it.

Cincinnati wish, a Cincinnati sports parade.

Don't care who it is.

All right, well, maybe the newly found Cincinnati Slingers able to win an arena championship.

For you.

My Christmas wish is to get rid of that flat bill Duke Tobin.

Get him out of here.

Flat Now they're going to the flat belt.

Start bench cut.

I'll give them to you in the order that I would do it in.

Fire Duke Tobins, fire Al Golden, and fire Zach Taylor.

All right, well that that's not start cut.

That would be my start benure cut.

I will uh sure, I will fire Duke, I'll bench ol cutsack Happy.

Friday, guys.

Yeah, I don't understand these bold games.

I mean, their pointless.

They don't decide anything.

Now we got this playoffs.

I don't even know how they make money off of this.

That are the good players are actually playing?

Everybody opts out.

Let's just cancel the settings.

Well you have you not only have teams opting like, you have whole teams opting out, and then you have players opting out.

And it's I just don't know how much you can actually get out of the game the most form.

The coaches will tell you that more important than the game is the practice time you get.

I can see that the extra practices you get leading into a bowl game, but the game itself.

Is maybe if you get six wins, you get more practices instead of a bowl game.

Okay, hello, this.

Is former President Ronald Reagan and will take it easy on my old buddy Al Michaels.

He's an all time great.

In fact, I want to play a couple of his classic calls to remind everyone.

This one's from the seventy two playoffs.

We did this last week.

The wine, the two pitches, the bench, swang on fly ball right field, Beck goes Clemente at the wall.

It's gone and no one will forget this one from the eighty Olympics.

Do you believe in miracles that shoots got right the audi mwg.

Man.

It's been a long couple of weeks, but I have one holiday wish and.

That's for Joe Burrow to finish.

The season healthy.

Ooh, I like that, I would add, man, can we just get a stretch where he can play football?

That's it, That's all I want.

That's all I want to see Joe do for the next several years is just play football.

We got nineteen games in a row at one point.

That was cool.

Yeah, what a fun time.

That's a good afternoon.

Gentleman.

Is Rob from Michigan.

My Christmas wish for the Cincinnati Bengals this.

Year is to tank for Caleb Downs.

Have a good day, gentlemen.

Okay, thank you Ron.

Okay, Caleb Downs.

Hey guys, I was just thinking to myself how great it would be if we got more people in the city to throw down money for more of those billboards calling out for firing of some certain Bengals employees.

Doubt it will do anything to change anything, but there's nothing better than these literal, giant metal fingers pointed at the organization.

What do we think the billboards accomplished?

Nothing?

Now I think other people think they accomplished something.

I'm telling you they accomplish nothing.

Yeah, they don't, especially when you don't put it anywhere where any Bengals personnel drive like.

I get the sentiment people are unhappy.

They want to state that they're unhappy.

Are there better ways to do that?

Sure?

I would wonder, But I mean it gets news headlines, people write arsels about it, It goes viral on Twitter.

I get it.

It feels like a waste of money.

Hey, the Happy Friday, Tony in Austin, Tony.

Hope this isn't too hard for you.

Got a stock bench cut Wednesday before Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and.

New Year's Eve?

Oh gosh, happy weekend, gentlemen.

This part of my life.

I will start Christmas Eve, i will bench New Year's Eve, and I'll cut the night before Thanksgiving.

Start New Year's Eve, bench Christmas Eve.

Oh that's how I used.

To be just another Jeff And my Christmas wish for the twenty six sports season would be that Matt McClain would return to something close to what he was before his injury.

I think that would be a huge piece of the Reds having a decent season.

Okay, I agree with now that is a legitimate wish.

Right now, get your ears on, mother lovers, because you're gonna hear a PayPal commercial seven hundred times today.

Good after Newfellows are on Wisconsin.

My Christmas wish is since the seven twenty six hours straight with you guys, mol can move to the evening and then maybe add a segment where you ask Duke Tobin questions and then it's followed by twenty seconds of silence.

I mean, I'm a retired weather guy, and even I wonder how he can get paid being wrong.

So off, I forgot to bring this up earlier when Skinny was on with MO on Wednesday.

Skinny said that the Beat writers had put in a formal request to interview Duke Tobin and it was denied.

Yeah, like last week, and I think they're gonna put another one, like a written request.

You have to keep doing it.

And I think that's what Trags was pushing at too.

And Trags is the guy who's leading that.

He's like the president of the local chapter uh the Pro Football Riders.

So Trags is the one who literally is doing that good.

So I think sometimes we we uh forget that there is an effort being made to talk to him.

Yeah.

Uh, and they just choose not to.

Austin's boomer drew himself.

Then that crazy backward pass play, Uh, didn't they get blown dead?

That was why I thought, once the whistle blows, doesn't doesn't play done and over, you know, And so they let the guy pick it up after the whistle blows and then they count it.

I don't really understand this.

So anyways, Uh, you know what Santa Claus said to my three sisters.

Ho ho ho, I have a good one.

Guys.

Yikes, I thought the play was blown dead.

That's why everyone stopped.

By.

Guys, it's Duke Tubin again.

If we finish off these last three games strong, I really don't see any reason not to run it back.

I mean, you know, we'll have a lot of momentum going into next year.

You know, we'll get that deal done with Gino's Stone.

It will be the starting safety.

We can draft a guy that we can develop for the future, because this defense is gonna have a lot of momentum going in the next year.

It'll be a great defense.

No need for change.

Thank you, love the sentiment, guys.

Sorry for the double den and I got a touch on it.

I mean, Tony with your breakdown of key mashups and this Bengals don with them, and you're really trying hard to break down this toilet bowl that's coming.

Up this weekend Christmas Christmas.

Wiz Man, I bet your whiz came true that you're off all next week and the Bolus you ain't got to break down these junk games that the Bengals are playing in.

Now, Man, you are trying hard.

I'll give you credit for that.

You're trying to keep the listener engage in the toilet Bowl.

Listen.

Winning is important, That's what I was told.

So what's the best way to win?

Tone in on it.

It's Chris Kringle.

I was just checking Christmas myself and thought i'd call in.

Let's see here.

I'm checking my list.

Austin Moore, nice, very good, Tony Pie.

Nothing here for Tony Pike.

You know I started this a couple months back.

Let's see here.

Any questions regarding Tony Pike should be addressed to.

iHeart corporate media, yep, call them out, send it my way.

Hey guys, TJ east Side, well up to the thanks and Merry Christmas too.

The talk backwards who provides so much entertainment, and thanks absolutely providing a great daily form for safety sports.

Audie, thanks for playing a great foil to all of Tony's common sense and great takes.

You're super about it and makes the show great, even though you don't agree with you picking up her Sunta Airports and I really looking forward to having him home.

Tony, have a great time with Meredith and the kids.

Hope it's a special Christmas audio.

I hope seeing it brings you a few new Zach Taylor ornaments for your tree.

Merry Christmas fellas.

Just zero relationship with reality.

And you guys were talking about things you're interested to see from this Bengal squad down the stretch in these last three weeks, and I have my eye on that third wide receiver spot T.

Presumably you out this will give some guys some more opportunity.

Is this guy we all remember Yoshi had that.

Stretch where he couldn't catch a cold, and I've been kind of disappointed in him all year.

I feel like he hasn't really recovered from that point.

And I like Mitch Tinsley a lot.

I feel like he's done some things with the limited targets that he's had and done at least enough to deserve more targets.

Interested to hear what you guys think.

Yeah, I targets, But as Charlie mentioned it, wide receiver three.

I don't think it's on the roster right now, but yeah it's not.

I agree with that.

And those dudes, you know, four drops on Sunday could have changed that game.

Chase had two of them, Tinsley had one, Yoshi had one.

Tinsley missed, stopped running on a deep route that could have been a touchdown against Baltimore the first time.

I think that's also part of the reason why Burrow is upset.

You know about Zach Taylor.

I don't care if the player is liking because they're not winning, maybe they shouldn't like him as a coach.

He's got a losing record.

He's missed the playoffs five of his seven seasons, including the last three three in a row.

Only here can that happen and you still keep your job.

And everybody keeps talking about, oh, if you know things will change next year, then that's gonna be a problem.

We said that last year about this year.

It just feels like we're.

In a never ending loop.

This teams get serious.

Well, the point I'm trying to make is everyone's trying to read between the lines and everything that the players say.

I think the players have made it clear that they don't think Zach is the problem.

I also don't think that the player will ever come out and say that he is the problem.

Maybe not, But I also think that those guys have been pretty honest and straightforward in the past.

But you're right, I mean either way, I think this is their way of kind of saying it without saying it about the other people.

Audie got run over by a reindeer.

Oh, walking home from skyline, Jillie, you could say that Tony could have saved him.

With him and Moe, we're chilling that twin peas now.

They've been having too many cold ones.

Autie begged him not to go, but he forgot his oyster crackers.

Then he staggered in the snow.

Yeah, Audie got run over by a reindeersh.

Yeah, my Christmas whisper Cincinnati?

Is that evenue baseball implements a salary?

Can I think that'll finally give us a chance to actually even better.

I know we had more money to spend, but its Natty was what some of these other teams spend, even if they actually didn't come amost that money.

He actually spending at for a change, but need a salary?

Can okay?

All right?

Thank you, hey, Audie, You're not alone.

A lot of people think if the Bengals sold that they'd get moved to a new city, But realistically, what city makes sense.

I don't see a lot of cities that are bigger and more lucrative than Cincinnati that don't currently have an NFL team.

Well, the size of the market really doesn't matter all that much based off the structure of the NFL.

But a team like Toronto or a city like Toronto, San Antonio, Mexico City, if they want to go international, those are some some teams, some some cities that have been floated out there.

I don't know for sure.

Las Vegas could be one of them, so.

Or not.

Las Vegas they got.

The raider at the second one.

Mike and Independence here, I just want to thank everybody part of the local shows, sports sports commentary.

It's just an amazing market here.

Appreciate all you do.

From Chad Brandall to to Tony Mo and Dan Horr laugh him.

Everybody just amazing.

Off topic, what's with the sessme street advertisements asking for money?

Well, all that tickle me Elmo money, we can dove out.

Where's all that at?

Let's go.

Great question.

I don't know the answer to it.

I got kids.

Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.

A reminder that I don't have any control over, nor do I hear or see the commercials that are run on the stream.

So I apologize and we're done.

All right.

I'm guessing with our breaks today, we'll have one segment coming back.

Uh shh, We're gonna need to have two.

All right.

And we got Bob Manjein coming up at the top of out a three with picks after that as well, since he three sixty to Friday Football Friends you on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati sports station.
