    I was once at a game where a guy had paid big bucks to bring four teenage girls to the game.

    I was assuming his daughter and three friends.

    The girls did not look up from their iPhones the whole time they were there.

     

    There is now a very pleasant Indian family who have the 5-6 seats at the other end of our row.

    Always bring the little kids.  The one poor guy spends more time taking the little boy to the bathroom

    than he does watching the game.  Other child is a little girl and both are under 6.  I'm sure they have

    no idea what is going on or why they are there.

     

    I'm always fascinated people who bring infants in the little carrier things.

    In colder weather the thing looks like a basket of blankets.

    Adeniji's wife was one of them, sat near us.  Three little girls.

    I sometimes wonder what she thinks now that he is working for

    Two Men and a Truck.

     

    He plays for the Browns and has made almost $4 million in five years despite being a below-average NFL player. I think she thinks they're very fortunate and blessed.

    IDK, if a food truck sucks they will fail very quickly.  At least around me, that's a very competitive market these days.

     

    The other food trucks sure as shit aren't going to all get together to kick down & keep you afloat if you're struggling.  :D

     

    I think of it more like a trust fund that came with the stipulation that they have to field a reasonable facsimile of an NFL football team.

     

     

     

    Well consider they are the only food truck in a 100 mile radius and 1 of 32 in the country that gets subsidized by the more successful food trucks in bigger markets....

    Louisville always gets the Colts or Ravens (because Lamar played at UofL, I guess?) but this week they'll get Bengals-Eagles even though both the Colts and Ravens are on CBS at the same time. Pretty surprising.

     

    This game was supposed to be the 4 pm game with Romo and Nance but they changed it to Bears vs Commanders a few weeks ago...glad it still national televised tho

    Seems not to matter.

     

    Like it or not the Chiefs org under Reid's authority is why they are the best.

    Mahomes is the best QB right now as well

    How many receivers does he have to go thru till you realize he extends plays with a top accuracy rate.

     

     

     

    He's not the best QB, he has 8 Ints and 6 TDs, and he has a top 5 defense and a good rushing attack. Plus the refs don't call illegal formation on his RT that lines up 2 yards off the line of scrimmage on every play or holding, so that helps...when you get to cheat and play a different set off rules then it makes it easier for you. The Chiefs have been handed two wins this season, they should be 4-2 if the refs didn't help them so much.

    Oh, well, I don't put very much on the coaches with our drafts, I look at Tobin and the Brown family.  Yes the coaches give their preferences and they do a large amount (maybe some of the most) analysis on the candidates around, but at the end of the day every regime needs Tobin (and sometimes MB) to agree.  So, there are years and years of drafts that I don't look at much differently from coordinator to coordinator.   And, at the end of the day Bates was a perfect fit for Lou and they let him walk.

     

    Also I'll never believe that Bates leaving was required to get Brown, that's far too much confidence in future outcomes to make a unit-altering decision on - namely - they expected to keep all other pieces in place, they expected to 100% get high value LT in FA two years later, and oops, some starters CHOSE to leave, darn it all!  Sure the Brown family might have made this calculation, but that just fully follows on from my previous point - this management group doesn't operate like a winning franchise does, they hoard cap space for things while simultaneously refusing to pay key pieces they deem "unworthy" - by what metric, who tf knows?

     

    It's an out dated model that Paul Brown used in 70s and 80s where you didn't pay guys past 30 or certain positions like safety or guard...that's why players like Whit, Reader, Zeigler, and Bates were not re-signed despite the Bengals having cap space

    The defense is failing in many ways, but it starts with the line.  When there is little to no pressure it exposes any weaknesses in coverage, of which the Bengals have plenty.  The injuries/talent drain on the DL is a problem.  No replacement for Reader.  Injury related or not, the dropoff in play from Hubbard is large.  New guys not stepping up.  Drafting on both OL and DL is an issue they need to address.  It's bad, and I don't think you can blow it off on luck.

     

    CTB is frustrating, but he's a talent.  I think the outside CBs are suffering because even when they are supposed to have safety support those guys are too slow to get there. 

     

    This team needs safeties.  Last year it was inexperience and mistakes.  This year it's old guys who struggle physically to keep up.  If the Bengals are going to lose, better to lose with physically talented guys trying to learn.

     

    Finally, is Anarumo's defense too hard to learn, or is it a teaching and/or patience problem from the coaching staff?

     

    The Bengals had an All Pro safety thar they let walk because they didn’t want to pay him, same for DT. I have a feeling we will be saying the same thing about WR next season....the front offices decision making is killing the Bengals.

    Joe Burrow not on 'White Dudes' call in support of Kamala Harris, Bengals say

    Despite rumors, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow didn’t join a Zoom call on Monday night in support of Vice President Kamala Harris, a spokesperson for the Bengals confirmed to The Enquirer on Tuesday morning.

    This rumor bubbled up on X, formerly Twitter, and other social media sites on Monday evening and Tuesday morning saying that Burrow joined the call and was supporting Harris' presidential campaign. One of the posts was viewed more than 3 million times.

    Several stars did host a fundraiser on YouTube Monday night, dubbed "White Dudes for Harris," which organizers said raised $4 million, but there was no indication Burrow was scheduled to take part or even logged on to watch. The original post by @Harris_Wins that started the rumor has since been deleted.

  23. Clapton thanks for helping decide on who to vote for, I was disillusioned and thinking about not voting for Biden but now I know I have to vote for him because it's truly frightening how stupid Trump supporters are and what they believe. 

     

    I seriously hope you take what people are posting here to heart and try to learn something outside of what fits your world view and the narratives that go along with them.

    Ammoral lol....

    Look around your government 

    Not only Ammoral but evil

     

    .But you go on believing your present leaders and this farce of a administration.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Who said anything about believing them, just because one person is bad doesn't mean the other guy isn't...we're screwed as a nation because our governance is weak. It's part of the reason why our country's credit rating was downgraded, awful leadership.
