00:00I want you to hear this now, okay?

00:02And this was actually yesterday that this happened.

00:05But Joe Burrow's just having his regular weekly press gathering.

00:09I don't know if anybody thought this was coming.

00:12But here's a full back and forth,

00:15and the subject is basically whether or not Joe's having any fun.

00:20You know, if I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing it.

00:25You know, I've been through a lot, and if it's not fun, then what am I doing it for?

00:28So that's the mindset I'm trying to bring to the table.

00:31How much fun are you having right now?

00:33Is it difficult to have fun, given the season,

00:36what you've been through physically, emotionally, all of it?

00:39Is it tough?

00:40Yes, certainly.

00:40Did you have fun playing?

00:42I mean, how much of it was fun before?

00:44Everything's always fun, but in general, was it as fun before?

00:47Did you view it that way, at least?

00:50No, I wouldn't say I viewed it that way, I think.

00:54What was the changing point?

00:56Changing point.

00:56I'm not sure there was a singular moment of time.

01:01It's just a reflection on a lot of things that I've done and been through in my career, I think.

01:07I've been through more than most, and it's certainly not easy on the brain or the body,

01:12so I'm just trying to have fun doing it again.

01:14You seem like there's something on your mind, or maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it seems frustrating.

01:20There's just a lot of things going on right now.

01:23A lot of things going on right now.

01:24Football-related, personally.

01:26All of the above.

01:27Yeah.

01:30Hey.

01:32It's another one of those days where I'm like, I have a question, Joe.

01:37Can I be there, please?

01:38For just $275 million, you too could be miserable throwing a piece of leather to other grown men.

01:46Well, okay, okay.

01:48That's very Dan Dibley of you.

01:51Super, super cynical.

01:52How sad was that?

01:54It was really sad.

01:55I know that it's not popular.

01:59We love to tell the multi, multi, multi-millionaires, hey, button up, buttercup, your life's perfect.

02:06Get on out there.

02:07For just a million and a half a game, you too can take a snap and throw an interception.

02:12Yeah, football hurts like hell.

02:14No doubt.

02:14Football hurts like hell.

02:18Football, it hurts like hell.

02:21If you could please contribute to Joe Burrow's fund.

02:24He's really sad right now.

02:26For just what dollar?

02:28He's got $46 million as a cap hit this year to actually not play very often because he had a hurt toe.

02:35For just $275 million, you too can go out there and throw 47 touchdowns and still lose.

02:43And throw three picks and still lose.

02:47And have a team that has no expectations because your franchise is a joke.

02:50For just $275 million, you can help Joe Burrow gut it out and play football.

02:58Call now.

03:001-888-J-O-E-B-U-R-O.

03:05It's the Joe Burrow hotline.

03:07He needs to.

03:09For just one dollar.

03:12Call his message phone.

03:14Call his message phone right now.

03:16Cynical, mean-spirited.

03:19I get it.

03:20For sure.

03:21I don't know what's going on here.

03:25So, when you hear that, is your first thought...

03:29What is going on here?

03:30Thank you, Vince.

03:31Hey, we could get Joe Burrow.

03:34Right?

03:34The morning show did a lot of this.

03:36That's where their minds went.

03:37We could get Joe Burrow.

03:40Call the Bengals, because he's going to ask out,

03:42and offer them Brock Purdy and two picks.

03:46And you can have Joe Burrow.

03:48I mean, it's the golf-Stafford deal.

03:50So, you're giving up Purdy and picks?

03:52Of course you would.

03:53Of course you would.

03:55Yeah.

03:55It's the golf-Stafford deal.

03:57I'm out.

03:58You're out?

03:59You got Stafford, who actually wanted to play football.

04:03Won a Super Bowl.

04:04Right.

04:04And he wanted to play football.

04:05See, I don't know that...

04:06I don't...

04:07I'm with you.

04:08That was my first question is,

04:10does this intrigue you, or does it scare you?

04:13It scares me.

04:14And I think that's fair,

04:15but I'm frustrated because I'm like,

04:18I don't know if that's what he was saying,

04:20and no one asked,

04:22is it personal or is it football?

04:24Well, sure.

04:24Yeah.

04:25Is this hard because you guys are losing?

04:27Yes.

04:27Stop asking those yes or no questions.

04:29If you want to ask a yes or no question,

04:32which an interviewer is not really supposed to do,

04:34try this one.

04:34Do you want to play football?

04:36Yeah.

04:36Are you questioning your future?

04:39Do you want to be a Bengal next year?

04:42Those were the questions.

04:44Possibly.

04:45But I'm not coming down their road

04:47because they sounded completely caught off guard,

04:51as I would have been.

04:53Right.

04:53I think they were there for like,

04:54you guys are playing the Ravens this week.

04:56What do you think of Lamar?

04:58How's the show, Joe?

04:59You feel like you're close to 100%?

05:01Joe sits down and goes,

05:02yeah, everything's awful.

05:05And I'm not having any fun.

05:07I'm not having any fun.

05:10Wow.

05:11And you all and we are correct in thinking this could change the whole league

05:19if it goes a certain way.

05:21But I don't know if that's the way it's going to go.

05:23Nobody knows the way it's going to go.

05:24But I look at his career and rookie season,

05:28torn ACL, MCL, PCL, meniscus in his left knee.

05:32So, yeah, left knee, kaboom.

05:35That whole thing blew up.

05:36And then you had a pinky issue.

05:39You had a calf strain.

05:40You got turf toe.

05:40I'm not saying he's injury prone because I think that all football players are,

05:45as you've said so many times.

05:46But you're looking at six years in and he's had major time missed based on injury.

05:53And now you hear this where he's not having any fun.

05:56So, I'm going to, for the moment, guesswork is needed here because no one asked,

06:03do you want to play football and do you want to be a Bengal?

06:05So, I'm going to take a guess here that Joe, in the wake of another missed playoff

06:14and this time injury riddled painful season again,

06:18I'm going to guess that what Joe is saying is, my team has failed me.

06:24And he's right.

06:25But, he's right, by the way.

06:27So, I'm going to, for the moment, I'm going to put Joe Burrow on the list.

06:32And there's always a short list in sports.

06:35Giannis is on it right now.

06:37I'm going to put Joe Burrow on that list, which is the list of,

06:42I'm really good, I'm in my prime, and what you're doing around me isn't working.

06:50It isn't working.

06:51And in football's case, when you do that to a player, it hurts.

06:56It hurts really bad.

06:59And I don't mean emotionally.

07:00I mean physically.

07:02Joe Burrow is getting pummeled behind a horrible offensive line.

07:07Joe Burrow's defense has been non-existent.

07:09And they have disenfranchised their best player on that side of the ball as well.

07:14And he's going to be gone at the end of the year.

07:16He only sees this getting worse.

07:18But, ooh, they've got fancy receivers who are super fun for all of us

07:22who have them in our fantasy league.

07:25Well, then put your name on it.

07:26I would want out to.

07:27Then say it.

07:28Yeah.

07:28No one asked.

07:29So he doesn't have to.

07:31Well, I mean, he does now.

07:32He doesn't have to now.

07:33But when you go out there and you have that press conference,

07:36it leads everyone to wonder about what it is.

07:39Stand on it.

07:40Well, but again, no one asked.

07:42We're sponsored by the California Office of Traffic Safety and Caltrans.

07:45How about some of your calls?

07:47Are you intrigued by that?

07:48Or are you scared by that?

07:50If you're one of the other NFL teams.
