00:00We talked about IUC before, and how that situation is just bad for them.

00:08Now, I think Cincinnati is very different, Joe.

00:11Chase has also hung around, and he finally did actually practice the other day.

00:15And it seemed like Zack Taylor thought that was the end of it, and that he was back in

00:20the mix.

00:21But I guess Zack was wrong, because Mark Chase stopped practicing again the next day.

00:27So here is Zack Taylor saying, my bad, I guess we're not quite done with this.

00:32Did something change between yesterday when you said that you expected Jamar to practice

00:38and today him not showing up?

00:40Did I say that yesterday?

00:42I think every day is a new day.

00:44We'll keep working through it.

00:46Not going to make predictions on what tomorrow brings.

00:48At the end of the day, Jamar is a great dude, that means a lot to this team.

00:52And we'll just continue to take it day to day.

00:54When does this become a distraction?

00:56It's not.

00:57It's a one-off situation that you've got to deal with.

00:59No, it's not.

01:00Again, we'll just continue to take it day to day.

01:02Are you still expecting to play in the opener?

01:04This is all part of that plan that we've talked about.

01:06This is just the later stages of that plan.

01:08But I think it's wise for me just to say, we're going to take it day to day and see

01:12what tomorrow brings.

01:13I think I probably put my foot in my mouth speaking too quickly.

01:15And it's just, again, this is a day to day situation.

01:17We'll just keep seeing it as that.

01:19Day to day, Joe.

01:20It's a day to day situation, Joe.

01:23I've still believed all along that when they show up for real game week work on Monday

01:29to get ready for that opener, I believe they have New England in the first game.

01:33He will be at practice Monday and he'll be at practice all week.

01:37And he'll play against the Patriots.

01:40So the report is that he wants to be the highest paid wide receiver in history, right?

01:48So Justin Jefferson, by the way, his former teammate at LSU, got the $140 million VAT

01:57contract making him the highest paid.

01:59So apparently Chase and his people are saying, we don't want millions more.

02:04We want one cent more than the $140 million my guy Jefferson got.

02:10So he just wants it to be one cent more so he can be the highest paid wide receiver in

02:16the NFL.

02:17And of course, Chase is buddies with Jefferson.

02:20And it's the cheapest franchise in the history of the game that he's dealing with.

02:25So this should be fun here, Carver.

02:28It should be fun.

02:30I guess if that makes you feel better, you gotta have one more cent than he does.

02:34Egos?

02:35No.

02:36I guess.

02:37No.

02:38I guess that's how it goes sometimes, Joe.

02:40It's amazing.
