I'm curious about this actually. I'm wondering if Carman is inactive on game days not necessarily because he isn't the first LT off the bench, but rather that Ford is much more versatile and can backup guard or tackle, so he gets to be active on game days instead? If Orlando Brown's injury persists (hope not), I would guess Carman may actually take his place in the interim instead of Ford...just a guess since Carman did look "not too bad" at LT last year. I didn't really watch Ford closely last game after OBJ went down, but if he did play well as you said, I could be all wrong.

Yeah, I really wish they didn't call this greek goulash concoction using the word "chili". Its not chili and that just sets the wrong expectation to those not familiar with the product. People hear the word "chili" and expect some thick, meaty, Texas inspired, heavy entree dish. It is certainly not. As Go noted its a local/regional fast food spaghetti & hot dog topping with Greek origins. The complaints about how thin/watery, having to "cook it down" to make it more appealing, and comparisons to other restaurants chili just makes me shake my head. The crackers are critical to soak up the juices for an added dimension. Skyline messed with cracker differences/recipes/vendors several years ago and received so much backlash they had to revert back ("New Coke" anyone?). There is no doubt that the packaged stuff in the can (or even the frozen variety) isn't as good as sitting in a Skyline restaurant, but it's not entirely different either. If you don't like the stuff in the can, you're probably not going to like the stuff at the restaurant either...at least initially. It is definitely an acquired taste...I've known many people who moved into this area who didn't like it initially but over time have grown to crave it...but others never come around to it. Personal taste and in some cases what you grew up with. I'm native Cincinnati and I can't imagine a world without Skyline (Gold Star is "okay"...big shout out to Price Hill Chili, Camp Washington Chili, Blue Ash Chili, Empress and some others that have since gone by the wayside), LaRosas, Graeters, Frisch's, etc.

Love Yellow Springs...walking the town, bike trail, going to John Bryan State Park, and of course Young's Dairy (although they've gotten too big/commercial/crowded for my tastes). -

Hmmmm...I kinda assumed someone had already signed him...interesting that the Bengals brought back Sinnett instead of Siemian when they had the chance. -

Surprised they wouldn't just waive/drop Reid Sinnett...I guess to allow AJ some time to learn the playbook maybe? -

My fear is the stealer crap is just going to get worse as their team declines in standings/record/talent/relevance/etc. It's like how the hockey team that's the worst in the league tends to play the roughest and have the most fights...if they can't win the game, then they can at least win the injury battle. -

I've been watching the "Welcome to Wrexham" series about the Wales soccer team, Ryan Reynolds/Rob McElhanney, UK soccer leagues, etc. and the episode I just watched was about "Hooligans". Hopefully that is not the destination the NFL experience is headed. BTW, pretty enjoyable series IMHO (on Hulu). -

WOO-HOOO!!!!! Did Toney have money on the Lions? Not that I'm complaining. Hopefully the league cracks down on that OLine stance and false start crap. -

WOW!!! FINALLY!!! AWESOME!!! -
I hate social media and do not take the time to seek out Bengals info...so the "one stop shopping" approach here is perfect for me. I can see how it can seem redundant to those who subscribe to all the social media stuff, but again, at least for me, I love the content posted here. I appreciate all you guys do (Mem, Griever, Dex, etc). Please don't stop.
