It’s a beautiful helmet, but when your starting QB is Spencer Rattler it’s like putting lipstick on a pig, and that’s being disrespectful to pigs.

TCL = Total Crap Line

Math: WAS: 16 week season + 1 bye week + 4 preseason weeks = 21 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 26 weekends of football If Regular Season Week 1 (the 5th football weekend) is the Sunday after Labor Day, the Super Bowl is the 1st or 2nd Sunday in February NOW 17 week season + 1 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 21 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 26 weekends of football Same as before FUTURE (without extra bye) 18 week season + 1 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 22 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 27 weekends of football Pushes Super Bowl one week to the right, making it the 2nd or 3rd Sunday in February FUTURE (with extra bye) 18 week season + 2 bye week + 3 preseason weeks = 23 weeks of football + wildcard + divisional + conference + off week + super bowl = 28 weekends of football Pushes Super Bowl two weeks to the right, making it the 3rd or 4th Sunday in February I agree that 18 games should add a 2nd bye.... but they're going to have to revamp the schedule to fit two extra weeks into the calendar. The easiest solution would seem to be the deletion of another preseason game AND start everything a week earlier. In fact, you could start the season on Labor Day Sunday, turning the entire 3-day weekend into a national celebration of football. For the current year, it might look like: August 15-17 weekend - Preseason 1 August 22-24 weekend - Preseason 2 (theoretically, they could also start the weekend before [Aug 8-10], play two preseason weeks then have an off week for final cuts and prep before season kickoff) August 31 (Labor Day Sunday) - Season begins Jaunary 11 - 20th regular season week (18 games + 2 byes) - Final football weekend January 17-18 - Wild Card Janunary 24-25 - Divisional February 1 - Conference February 8 - off week February 15 - Super Bowl I don't think deletion of the off week before the Super Bowl is realistic. Too much money to be made on the hype, too many people making last-minute travel plans if their team is going.... been there, the extra week is actually a net good thing. Anyway, that's my take on it.

I also think if they are going to 18 games they need to reduce the number of Thursday games. Player safety, and all that.

Funny he should bring up voter fraud… https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/crime/2025/06/30/covington-man-accused-of-illegally-registering-to-vote-despite-felony/84415262007/ Registered as a Republican. Shocking 😳!

TEN days Gonna have to get the first training camp thread going in a little bit 😏

I can see the Browns picking up Justin Tucker on the 11th week of the season when his suspension is up. No 🥷

Very normal and innocent, also mentally stable. Such leadership. So presidential. Definitely not a child rapist panicking.

... I can see he's fitting right in with the Cleveland rapist / abuser team culture. #MistakeOnTheLake 💩

Yup, I agree with Joe

Mahomes and Burrow are in agreement on a key topic.

Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images / Denny Medley-Imagn Images In this story: CINCINNATI — Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow are two of the best quarterbacks on the planet and are arguably part of the NFL's best rivalry. Despite the rivalry, they agree on a big topic that could impact the NFL in a major way. Patrick Mahomes believes the NFL should add a bye week if they go to an 18-game schedule. “I think that you’d have to find a way to have more bye weeks, more time spread out,” Mahomes told Alex Sherman of CNBC. “You’ve seen the amount of injuries that have kind of piled up there at the end of seasons, and you want to have the best players playing in the biggest games. And so if there were a way to get to 18 games, I’m not—I’m not a big fan of it. But if there were a way, I think you got to add some bye weeks in there to give more time for guys’ bodies.” That aligns with what Burrow said last offseason when asked about the possibility of an 18-game schedule. "I think it would be cool to have the normal bye week schedule that it is now, have it spread out, but then, like Week 13, do like the Pro Bowl break where you’re doing the 7-on-7 and all the skills challenges like the NBA does," Burrow said on the Pardon My Take Podcast. "I think that would get more ratings for the Pro Bowl, and then it would also give everybody that bye week going into the last six games of the year." The NFL has made it clear that it wants to go to 18 games at some point in the future. A second bye week would help, but that could also mean an earlier start to the season. https://www.si.com/nfl/bengals/news/patrick-mahomes-joe-burrow-agree-key-nfl-issue-training-camp-looming-01jzx0k20nr1?fbclid=IwY2xjawLfqWBleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHpC2BjtrJh4RlDqig71UKEqgyqu0S6uxWkyY1CWUe5Q-7BQYleXjnlwD2N7G_aem_OFcdXd5r6f1tpj-5JrwkYw

After losing yesterday on a wild pitch A walkoff is fun

So one vote for "just bad luck"

Ffs 🤦

my buddy's band released another song

Some time—1,000 years from now—a newly minted AI cyborg will ask the older model: “Certainly WE didn’t come up with these hideous things?!”

I would call that an organization-wide issue, despite all the excuses. Like the opener "oh we didn't know which WR to gameplan around." Yeah, that definitely sucked, but it didn't happen without reason. Decisions made at the very top of the franchise led them there. It's ok to say "we let that drag on too long, we'll learn from that mistake" but instead it seems like it's always some new form of prevarication. Do they really think they're crushing it on every level & just victims of bad luck? Does anyone?

Clipse album dropped today, - Let God Sort Em Out. its very good.
