Saw Foghat at the RKO Albee in 73/74. Great venue, also saw Kansas touring their first album there around the same time. I like Slow Ride, not may rock bands playing slide in those days. It's those Savoy Brown roots!

Cincinnati Enquirer 4-4-24 Read M. Anweep In a possibly controversial move that will affect the entire sports world, Tee Higgins, after chugging eight beers in a sports bar while watching March Madness, told his agent to explore his returning to college to play four years of Hoops with the UConn Huskies. Rumor has it he wants to play for both the Men's and the Women's teams utilizing the special NCAA clause of "If it brings in more money, then that's a good thing!" As for Higgins, he thinks he can get a decent NIL deal. When asked to offer more detail while barside this past weekend, Higgin's said "I can fly, I can sky, I can hit a bull eye! Gimme another Corona." Upon hearing this rumor, the UConn coaches reacted. Geno Auriemma said, " I hope he isn't injury-prone. We can use all the help we can get." Dan Hurley chewed his gum furiously and said, "Hell, Yeah!" And then he exploded.

Bengals should only trade Tee if, and only if, they are this >< close to signing a free agent or two and need the cap space. Otherwise, keep him and pay him the tag money. He's got more value than mere draft picks. I really want to see Tee, Chase, Gesicki, Hudson and one of the other receivers on the field at the same time. How do you defend against that?

"They've Gotta Beat Us." What did the team learn last year? That they can win without Burrow. More important, they learned to do a few different things in order to win sans Burrow. Some of that stuff will show up as the next part of Burrow's game and the evolution of the offense. And they'll do it without compromising the stuff that Burrow likes to do best--which means we'll still see plenty of shotgun, 4 and 5 wide, etc... . So, they got Moss because he can block and run from the shotgun. They got Gesicki who is Boyd's replacement, imo. They got a tackle who will let Burrow be more comfortable in the pocket and have more time to do his magic. This off-season is about becoming more flexible on offense, imo, and they have done a pretty good job of it --on paper. Not bad moves on the defensive side of the ball, either. So, Fuck Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Baltimore--they've got to beat us.

Picture this, Bengals coming out of the huddle: Joe in shotgun. Chase and Higgins; Gesicki in the slot; Hudson doing the Hudson-y tight end thing; Sample blocking w/ no one in backfield, or no Sample and Moss in the backfield. Bet we see this a fair bit next year.

Haven't seen any remarks on this aspect; wondering what others think. IMO, one of the problems with the Bengals offense the past few years is that it seems predictable at times. By that I mean defenses see certain formations and personnel changes and pretty much can suss things out pre-snap. Do these two offensive player additions address this tendency? Does it allow the team to mask their intent better with their play calls? And lastly, does this have value when making these free agent decisions?

Of course they are. Biden held it together for the most part. Bet he had to practice a lot to get the low-key Max Headroom without sunglasses effect.. And GOP Stepford Wife couldn't make up her mind whether she was channeling Margaret Thatcher or Barbie. I found both of the to be insincere. As instances of statecraft, neither met the bar. I like that Biden gave a shout out to the UAW. That's about it. Maybe a few of the other palliative economic measures. But this was a campaign speech, not a State of the Union, so IO take most of the rhetoric with a grain of salt. Make it happen and stop making these endless promises that are recirculated every 4 years. The sad thing tonight was what both of them agreed upon: crazy endorsement's of the Blob's foreign policy. Gotta be fair, both parties are killing machines, about 500,000 casualties in Ukraine and a hell of a lot more than the 30,000 cited tonight in Gaza. Probably multiples of that number.

Let's try this another way. Watch the video again. In fact, watch it a couple of times. Listen to what he says. Also look into his eyes. Now tell me that this person isn't in some kind of cognitive distress. Ever take care of an old relative or spend any significant time around a person with empty eyes like that? I don't care what you think of my views, just be honest with yourself. Biden is not simply old, he's a goner--especially for the position of authority and leadership he currently has and wants for four more years. Which, again, begs some questions. You don't have to tell me about Trump's character. I've known about him since the 80s, well before he was on the national scene in any serious political way. By product of a behind-the-scenes political squabble with one of his mentors. And, inadvertently, you hit on one key point: one of these oafs is going to be the next president. It's time people got seriously interested in just how our polity has declined so, such that we even allow this kind of contest to happen. How do you fix it? Engaging in lawfare against one person and whitewashing the other doesn't cut it. And that's my truth. Hold all these fuckers to standards that are derived from the best of what it means to be a citizen. As I said in another comment, I will not be voting for either one of these murderous dipshits, but that doesn't mean I will quit being a gadfly..

I, and probably Hannah Arendt would disagree with you, but that wasn't the point of my posting. Anyone can look at this bit o' video and see two important things: One, Biden really is not capable of being President. He has always been a mediocre thinker and now he is way beyond competence. Two, notice how quickly his handler shuts everything down. Begs some questions, does it not? Anyhow, in the interest of balance, here's another one: Dr. John Gartner: The world is watching "a fundamental breakdown in Trump’s ability to use language." For those who are more interested in partisan ideology than truth should find this more palatable.
