Reposting.... Hamilton County (OH) owns PayCor Stadium, and every few years they replace/upgrade the older furniture in the lounge and suite areas. The Bengal-themed tables and chairs and etc they are replacing are sold at public auction. That auction is tomorrow, 2/14. 10am. Online and in person. https://www.proxibid.com/Nicodemus-Auction-Company/Paycor-Stadium-Suites-Liquidation-Auction/event-catalog/292261

Lol, sucker. Mine were $100 each. I actually had to drive to my Credit Union and get a money order for the princely sum of $203 (the extra $3 being a non-refundable extortion fee) and mail it in with a Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope -SASE. Won the team lottery and got a pair, 2 or 3 rows from the front in the corner section. You're correct in that you didn't know if you got tickets until your SASE showed up in the mailbox - most got a receipt showing that your money was credited toward the 1989 season seats, while a lucky few got two pieces of pretty cardboard. If Kevin charged you $250 then that scoundrel helped himself to your money... ...and my Grinch-like respect for him just grew three sizes larger. :)

As of tomorrow we're all undefeated again. First place Bengals.

(moving this over from the AFC/NFC Championships thread) There’s currently a 66% chance that Collinsworth knob-swallows Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl LX on Polymarket. They took down the bets on him mentioning the Stealers when nobody was taking the under.

I shouldn't get emotional over something as mundane as football, but halfway through my 5th decade as a Bengal season ticket holder, they have been a constant in my life. They have tasted failure more frequently and recently than success, but when success HAS come it has been much needed and came at points in my life where very few other good things were happening. In 2003, after 15 consecutive seasons of losing, of becoming a laughingstock in the NFL, the Bengals hired Marvin Lewis. The team began a renaissance, going 8-8 in his first two seasons before bursting out in 2005 and taking the division with an 11-5 record. The future looked bright, we were relevant again, we were back. This video captures the optimism of those years. Carson. Chad. Rudi. TJ. Marvin. First name basis - names every Bengal fan knows by heart. We know how that story ended - Pittsburgh targeting Carson Palmer's knee with a cheap shot in the playoffs, cheap ownership who refused to invest in personnel and resources to take advantage of the incredible stockpile of talent we had, and a rare opportunity to ascend to the pinnacle of the sport squandered. Yet when I watch this video, I am again filled with hope. And I can't help but feel proud to be a Bengal fan. Enjoy.

On this day - 37 years ago - Sam was going to King's Island. January 8th, 1989 AFC Championship - Bengals v Bills Many of us were at that game. Damn - I miss that man. He needs to be on the Ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PedLbDZhJSM (I've made the video public, published it like all my others, yet I can't get this to show in fullscreen mode here. Click the link, watch on YT, it's glorious)

Watching GBP-BAL and in spite of being a fractional owner of the Packers, I'm actually hoping for the Modells to win this. We can't take the North, so I'm rooting for any scenario to keep the bandwagon out. BAL was up 27-14, but they're doing what they always do.....choke. It's now 27-24 late in Q3.

For week 18, the NFL can wait until 6 days out to pick dates/times. As there is nothing on the line. I am expecting 1pm Sunday. But it's the NFL, anything can happen.

It's amazing how many late-season games are forced into specific markets solely because some teenager played college football nearby. Oklahoma gets Tampa to watch Baker Mayfly Baton Rouge gets Cincinnati to watch Joe Brrr and Chase CMH gets Arizona to watch Marvin Harrison, who may be standing in civvies on the sidelines
