  1. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/15/biden-extremist-jewish-settlers-travel-ban-loophole Too often, Arabs get sterotyped and labeled as terrorist but when terrorist don't fit the mold we have cast them we as a country should still fight them the same way. For decades we have waged a war on terror but it seems as if we are exporting terrorist and don't doing anything to stop it.
  2. Exactly, one of the owners of the team is charge of scouting/personnel so he's not going to fire himself. They don't break it down by position group, the scouting is done regionally. They have input from the coaches on what type of guy they like, but there's no o-line specific scout. I think it's more of a development issue and that is an NFL/football problem not just the Bengals, there's like 5 teams that have what many consider to be a good offensive line, and the rest of the teams are struggling to figure it out. The biggest problem is the level of coaching that exists in the high school and college ranks don't properly prepare guys for the NFL game. When you have hacks like Jim Turner teaching young guys how to play offensive line then it's no wonder why many of the offensive line players come into the NFL not prepared to play at a high level. If teams paid offensive line coaches higher salaries, promoted offensive line coaches to HC positions, etc...then you would see the quality of the players evolve. Being an offensive line coach is typically a dead-end job, there like 1 or 2 guys who have been offensive line coaches and ascended to be an HC so if you are a talented coach why would you want to be an offensive line coach unless you just really love it and don't have aspirations of being a HC.
  3. Nick Scott is on the bench, he's athletic but he doesn't seem to be the brightest guy..he was consistently out of place and taking bad angles. Battle is playing more consistent ball, as they play more snaps together they should improve and continue.
  4. I hope the refs call offsides and more holding penalties on the Chiefs. Mahomes really fucked up, he showed up the refs after they have protected him for years, they literally gave him the first game of the season when they didn't call a single penalty on his RT that lined up 2 yards behind the line of scrimmage(illegal formation) and false started every damn snap. They have had 3 games in which the refs helped them win this year and that's still not enough. Hopefully the refs take away his golden boy status and call it like they do for every other team in the NFL.
  5. Big Ben throws Mike Tomin under bus on his podcast, says the team lost due to bad coaching... https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/ben-roethlisberger-cites-Stealers-bad-coaching-as-problem-in-loss-to-patriots I hope the Stealers ownership agrees and fires Tomlin so they can really be a bad team like they deserve to be.
  6. Would this be the Empire Strikes Back to be followed by Return of the Sith..
  7. From my perspective, it reminds me of this country's ugly history of chattel slavery and how white men owned other humans and decided what they could and could not do with their bodies. I've never understood why the government felt the need to legislate this issue, it's a morality issue and there is supposed to be a separation of church and state. If you believe that abortion is not aligned with your religious beliefs, that's fine, but you should not have the right to force your religious beliefs onto others and codify that belief, especially when the mother of the unborn child's life is in danger.
  8. Don't tell that Mahomes, he'll throw a hissy fit.. He's worse than those brats from the Willie Wonka Chocolate Factory...
  9. You're welcome, how about a subscription to the jelly of the month club, it's the gift that keeps on giving...lol
  10. This is true, WWE is sports entertainment that is scripted and predetermined and it's obvious sometimes that the NFL games are scripted...see the last SuperBowl in which the Bengals played.
  11. He was definitely acting like he wanted to go after the ref when everyone was holding him back, like he was really going to do something to the ref. Hopefully the refs see that stop treating him with kid gloves, let him get hit like every other QB.
  12. I expect the Bengals to come with some good energy and win this game, injuries have killed the Vikings and they are at a point where they are going to break if the Bengals can keep playing at a high level. The defense is playing well, only giving up 1 TD to a team that had won 4 straight is impressive. The Vikings are struggling and have back ups playing at important positions all over their offense(QB, RB, and #1 WR) so this is game the Bengals should win..
  13. Yeah he's a spoiled little bitch, he's gotten so many calls that he literally can't handle it when he doesn't get his way.
  14. Agreed, that worked once with Biden but that's not an effective long term strategy. I know plenty of people, including myself, who will not be voting Democrat if Biden is the candidate. Out of the thousands of potential candidates they could find, it's like the Dems pick the worse one. I'm considering voting for Niki Haley if she gets the nomination
  15. Bills coach Sean McDermott says he wants his team to be on the same page like the 9/11 terrorist and then apologizes, 4 years later.... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39065999/bills-coach-sean-mcdermott-regrets-9-11-comments-apologizes?fbclid=IwAR3PdSVpYgzbwTb28pjdpVXO6kL46fMlbrnoAyGYgt9XjtuqLJARr6j4QtU What a leader of men this guy is....of all the analogies that he could have used this is the one that he came up with.
  16. maybe it's a cyborg and not the real JB...the real JB wears flannel like a real man, this fake humanoid parading around as JB is the fancy dresser that gets your britches all bunched up...
  17. So you are on vacation, smoking meth and drinking Bud Lite, and decide that you needed to come on this message board to complain that you don't like Burrow's outfits...lol Sounds reasonable..
  18. Put down the meth Bob...smoking skante is bad for you... Just say you're jealous of Joe Burrow without the insults. How should Burrow dress, like Mr. Rogers?
  19. So George Santos was expelled from Congress, despite 114 Republicans and 2 Democrats(wtf) voting against this action. Santos is the 6th member to be expelled in the history of the country, that's quite a feat. Santos lied about everything from education, career history, and ancestry..it's pretty impressive.. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/guide-george-santos-lies.html The fact that the Speaker of the House didn't vote to expel him is crazy, how can the Republican party talk about family values, morals, etc...when they are backing this scum bag. https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/02/mike-johnson-george-santos-expulsion-00129755 To be fair, 105 GOP members did vote to expel Santos..so there is some hope but to have the most powerful member of the party defend this guy is crazy.
  20. Outside of those two "trick plays" Taylor called a good game, if he just sticks to the script and doesn't try to out-razzle dazzle the competition. The Bengals have enough talent to out-execute the competition and make plays when the opportunity presents itself. Maybe he was trying to get one over on baby bro and have bragging rights...it was odd. Hopefully he learns a lesson from this and improves going forward.
  21. Sarah Connor would approve, we have to fight Skynet now before it gets too big to handle
  22. 10-7 will probably get you in, but 9-8 is a dummy mission because all you will get is a draft pick in the 20's...better off going 6-10.
