00:00In case people missed it Joe Burrow shows up at training camp cleared physically for contact following a season-ending wrist injury last year
00:07He has a buzz cut and it is dyed bleach blonde
00:10People hate the look say he looks like WWE champion Cody Rhodes. I kind of like the look
00:15I've bleached my hair blonde before I think Pat has also so I kind of like it not hating on Joe Burrow
00:21But uh the Burrow hair notwithstanding the big story Pat circulating around the Bengals
00:25What's gonna happen with the contract for star receiver Jamar chase
00:28We already know T Higgins
00:30Playing under the franchise tag this year very unlikely to be a Bengal pass this season and now chase not gonna get a new deal
00:36Probably until next offseason and when these kind of things linger and like hangover a season
00:41It makes me a little nervous and Burrow dealing with the wrist injury
00:44Also
00:45I'm a little nervous about the Bengals win total of ten and a half juiced way over
00:50Burrow nine to one to win Super Bowl MVP the second choice right behind the Ravens to win the AFC North Pat
00:55What about your big-picture view of Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals and bleach blonde hair as well?
01:00Yeah, let's start there with the most important thing the bleach blonde hair
01:03I have bleached my hair blonde as recently as two years ago. Now. I got a good story. How old are you?
01:0929
01:10Okay, you're top. I'm 41. So better that you do that than me do it
01:14Yes
01:15Now I've got a story a story that we can expand upon as we go throughout the show
01:19But did it right before I was a groomsman and one of my best friends wedding and the bride was not happy
01:24So screw her
01:28So, yes, I love it I love the cut now again, this is this is kind of this is on brand now for Joe Burrow
01:34Right. I mean he was in Paris last month for a fashion show. He's like very into
01:38You know being one of the fashion designer guys and football so for him to bleach his hair blonde go buzzcut
01:46He obviously he's got phenomenal air
01:47He's got the locks, but he buzzed it and bleached it. I like it's a nice little change of pace for Joe Burrow
01:53You know changes the scenery kind of gets rid of all the wrist issues last year at least in his mind
01:58So, you know what? I'm happy for him and the Bengals with Jamar chase
02:01I mean, they're gonna get a deal done with him
02:03Maybe not this offseason, but he is going to get a contract that pays him either the highest paid football
02:09Receiver in football or second to Justin Jefferson. So I understand that I agree headlines came out today kind of made it seem a little
02:16Uneasy, they have they have zero affordability to let Jamar chase not be on this roster
02:21For the next 10 15 years as long as they can so they're gonna get that done and just kind of prospects a Bengals team
02:27That's gonna be rejuvenated coming off of a lost season last year, even though they played pretty well
02:32Right with with Jake Browning
02:34whoever was the whoever else stepped in at quarterback last year the way the Bengals finished the season gave you room for
02:39Enthusiasm and again, we just said they were in the Super Bowl a couple of years with Burrow against the Rams
02:44They still Joe Burrow top five quarterback for my money. So you have him you've got a team
02:49That's rejuvenated coming off of an injured season for Burrow Luanna room
02:52I know the defense took a step back last year, but I think that defense is going to be great
02:56So I think the Bengals are due for a big year. I think they win the North
02:59You did but you you I see I I think that's kind of the inflection point with this team
03:04I think the defense is gonna be hot garbage. I don't see like like why do you like this defense this year?
03:10Do you think they're gonna you actually think they're gonna be great or just think like that because even if they're like improved and burrows really
03:16Good that can get them to 10 11 wins. I that is my concern with this team is offensive line
03:21I like the two big tackles
03:22I don't love the interior of the line and I'm concerned that this defense is gonna give up a ton of points like that's my
03:28worry with the Bengals
