GoBengals

i skimmed the article, judging by that line it doesnt dive into it, so i assume its not mentioned at all, but obviously the nfl wants as much hype per game as possible, with a few "matchup of the year" type MNF/SNF games, they want to spread out the love, making division games a MNF /SNF game is almost a waste as there is already hype for that game for at least 2 fanbases, and you get interest from others too, so if youre looking at a KC schedule, you have hype for 6 games due to being division, hype from previous playoff rematches (bengals, bills, etc) then you want to give them primetime games, pick from others, then the opener for the champs, the lions makes sense, cause no one cares about KC vs the lions on a sunday at 4pm, but the season opener, all eyes are on a game that would never be cared about otherwise.

I am certainly down to meet up, i wont know what my plans are until pretty close to games, my son who comes with me is looking for a school to go play basketball at in college. there are about 6 states he could end up in, so there will be many variables of if he can go, if not, can a friend go, and either way if he is getting playing time and he has a game i will be there instead, so i dont know if ill be at 8 games, or 2, but when time approaches we can get that sorted out. Another thing i like about the west chester hotels is price doesnt seem to change much with the bengals given they are so far from town. So last minute is usually still cheap points wise.

def assume 2x white again its a hit and media loves it. holy shit. small world, thats exactly where i stay, i peaked around 900k marriott points, i think i have 670k currently, we usually grab the residence inn, so we have the one bedroom and kid crashed on couch, but i have stayed at the courtyard as well there, my cousin until a month ago lived in west chester, so convenient to visit him, he has seats near mine at Paycor, i lived in mason most of my life, so its familiar and has the food spots nearby we like. Never did the aloft for the two of us, its minimalistic design doesnt feel as comfy for some reason to me. but man between courtyard and residence inn in that 3 hotel cluster at union centre i have likely spent 100 nights. I have also done the courtyard westchester, the springhill suites by eden park (the most convenient for sure) and if we had a shitty flight time ill grab a marriott by the airport, however in the last two years twice there was an accident on a bridge that halted traffic, so i try to avoid needing to cross a bridge in time for a game. the west chester hotels are better than the CVG ones by far, courtyard blue ash is fine too, the residence inn in florence area is fine too, but the bridge issue again, and we also get celebratory or consolatory ice cream at graeters in mason or florence after games...sometimes the airport on the way out if we arent feeling it or they are closed.

it sure seemed like it, at least much closer to that. i recall a "3 game home stretch" being a crazy occurrence. but it is what it is...

i dont have any legit issues with the schedule, some odd choices, its total shit for my personal life and travel and other plans, but thats how life goes. my personal preference would be every other game is home then away, so i dont ever have to travel to cincy two weekends in a row, wit the except of a sun-thur games at home in a row so i can just stay in ohio for 5 days for both games. we are gonna kill some teams this year.

the number of people that think the bengals are going to release Mixon next season, take a 5.5 mil cap hit, magically find a BETTER player for less than 4 million(as with that theyd be spending the exact same on the cap as just keeping him) is so insanely high in here i cant fucking see straight. wtf are yall even talking about? the cap hit is nearly 3 million the following year as well. but it would be just as easy to redo his deal for a few more years at that point and lower the cap hit. obviously taking a under 3 mil hit to save 9 is plausible, but mixon is a top tier back. even if the cool kids around here think somewhere there is a back getting solid yards with no holes to run through.

word.

moving to tailgate forum, mostly becuase pinned threads annoy me...

@go_bengals

http://forum.go-bengals.com/index.php?app=membermap or click the member Map tab at the top. add your city/location. probably shouldnt put your full address... also add any bengals friendly bars or hang outs... Numbers suggested this feature, will be cool to find other fans near you and bengal bars for those out of town, etc.. Enjoy!

[quote name='Paul' timestamp='1299013932' post='974132'] Lowes is offering a tax refund special if buy a gift card for a minimum of $500 to a maximum of $4000 you get 10% of the original amount added back on March 18.

[quote name='SINcinnati513' timestamp='1293085351' post='953077'] Anyone clip coupons? www.grocerygame.com This site pairs manufacturer and store coupons and tells you when the best time is to use it to get the best deals. I save 50-60% all the time at Kroger and Meijer on my whole bill. It's a bit tedious organizing the coupons but it is well worth it you save tons and tons of money. They have a free trial just to check it out. It cost's 10 bucks to subscribe to a store's list every 3 months and an additional 5 for each store. Well worth the money though. www.cincysavers.com Kind of like grocerygame where they tell you when and where to use your coupons but it is free. Not as complete of lists but they sometimes catch things that the grocery game doesn't. They also sell gift certificates to restaurants and other businesses. They usually sell $50 certificates for $25 but on Tuesdays they discount select certificates. I got four 25$ gift certificates to Ryan's Tavern in Hamilton for $30. Recently went to Mr Sushi and got $50 worth of food for $25. www.restaurant.com They sell discounted gift certificates to restaurants everywhere. They do promos all the time where you can get 70 to 90% off of their certificates. They work differently. It's more like a coupon. For example, the certificate will be worth 25 off if you spend 35. But these coupon/certificates can be bought for about 2 bucks with the promos. [/quote] nice! i go back and forth, weighing laziness and poorness at the time.... i get emails from restaurant.com but havent bought anything yet..

dayum...

Places to get gift cards at a discount: - They sell gift cards for popular retailers at a discounted rate, you can also sell gift cards to them likely for 60-70% of value. http://www.plasticjungle.com http://www.cardwoo.com Places to get coupon codes and discounts: http://www.retailmenot.com http://www.couponcabin.com Google, example : "nflshop.com coupons" if you buy gift cards for 8-25% off, and find a 10-30% off coupons, you could save as much as 20-50% off whatever you are buying.. makes sense for bigger ticket items you have a week or two before you need to purchase.. the gift card sites have free shipping, so get the cards cheaper and then use a coupon off your purchase.. double up your savings.. feel free to add any sources you know of and ill add to the list..
