  1. Lou Anarumo REALLY didn't like his safeties last season. 🤨
  2. Nick Scott released. https://x.com/Bengals/status/1767987016946360445?s=20
  3. Someone has to play the position. Unless they draft a no doubter (😂) they need someone who isn’t worse than Williams. That said, I wouldn’t give him any more than 2 years. Need an upgrade.
  4. He isn't wrong. Players hire this guy to get every last dollar. That's his thing. If you want to blame anyone, blame the players. They know what they are doing when they hire this guy. That said, I don't blame anyone here. It's business. As long as Higgins doesn't start whining or dogging it, it's all good. Good luck down the road.
  5. Texans must have wanted him pretty badly. Interesting.
  6. Honestly, Joe Mixon is kinda mid at this point.
  7. It's the chip and a chair thing. Playoffs are just a tournament in a short time period. Randomness will happen. Teams that spend like the Dodgers are at the table year after year. Sure, a low-budget time can find lighting in a bottle for a year or two until they have to pay the guys they developed and off to the big money teams they go and back to the drawing board goes the small market team. It sucks. Hockey, basketball, and football have been around for 100 years. Baseball translates well over radio, which gave it a leg up for sure. Football and basketball are much better on TV. Still, the mismanagement of baseball has hurt it greatly and the lack of a cap is one of those issues. I still love baseball, but follow it so much less than I did due to the crummy shape the Reds are in, and generally have been for 20+ years. There is some hope with the plethora of young talent, but one or two of those guys has to mature into a real game changer. Young guys can look great and win the Rookie of the Year, and then a few seasons later be a platoon player. Hi Jonathan India!
  8. I guess the NHL doesn't count. The MLB has a "cap" that allows teams with tons of money to dance around it at will. Everyone knows that teams in flyover country have to do things perfectly to compete. One of the reasons baseball is dying and has gone from the "national pastime" to #3 and dropping. Running the NFL like MLB drag the football juggernaut down? Who knows.
  9. While that's true, it's quite a different tone than Tobin's comment last year of "go find your own!"
  10. I'm with Jamie on Mixon. He will be back. The Bengals don't restructure deals and then cut guys. Say what you want, but the Brown family doesn't do players like that. Only thing wrong with Eli Apple was his mouth. He was an OK #3/#2 if needed CB. Not great, but passable. His mistakes were highlighted due to all his shit-talking. If you're gonna yap, you better be able to back it up. Apple wasn't good enough to run his mouth.
