    Did you mean The Leaves original or the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds cover?

     

     

     

     

    You're right.  The Leaves.  And that live version is not very good.

    There were a lot of California bands that were big locally with little following

    elsewhere, unfortunately in many cases, with one word names and easy to confuse.

    Leaves, Seeds...Love etc... saw them both (as well as the early Doors) out there a lifetime ago.

    Leaves/Seeds ended their set by pulling their shaggy wigs off and showing they were not scruffy Beatles clones after all.

     

    BTW... if you or anyone else on here has Spectrum pay per view movies platform, they have

    a documentary on Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones that is hands down one of the best I have seen

    of the bands and period. Well worth the $6 or so.

    Far better than the pillow fights being called playoff games.

    I have not seen one team the full strength Bengals could not beat handily.

  2. Discussed by spicoli and others earlier re Mims...

    "Mims comes with questions; he has made nine starts in his career and missed six games in 2023 after undergoing TightRope ankle surgery." (whatever that is)

     

    I wonder if this would be enough to push him into the second round?

    That would be sweet. D line animal in round one, this guy in round two.

     

    Lack of Experience

    Injury History

    Lots of Upside and Po-ten-tial

     

    Yep, this guy had "Bengals" written all over him.

  3. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2024/1/11/24033117/joe-mixon-contract-bengals-2024-nfl-season

    Will Joe Mixon be with the Bengals for the 2024 NFL season?

    Another possibility is a change at the running back position. Joe Mixon, who will be 28 in July, had a bounce-back year in 2023. After only gaining 814 yards on the ground in 2022, he averaged four yards per carry, scored nine rushing touchdowns, and gained 1,034 yards on the ground this season, adding 376 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. 

    Once Joe Burrow went down with a wrist injury, the Bengals shifted focus and began to lean on the running game when they could, which helped the team go on a three-game winning streak that kept them in the playoff hunt all the way through Week 17.

     

    Mixon restructured his contract after 2022, taking a pay cut. The Bengals will owe Mixon a roster bonus of $3 million on March 16th, just four days after the new league year begins, and it’s fully guaranteed. 

    So this means that if the Bengals decide to pair Chase Brown with a running back other than Mixon, that decision will come soon.

    It’s not really right to say the Bengals are cheap anymore. Maybe once they were, but not now. What I will say is they’re smart with their money. They know how to spend it correctly. 

    I won’t weigh in right now on whether or not Mixon should be on the roster, but I will say if he’s on the roster on March 17, he’ll be on the team in September, barring some sort of injury.

    :::::::::::::::

    My Vote... He'll be back but shouldn't be.  Besides, $3 Million here... $3 Million there... it all adds up

  4. Black Thursday?

    https://www.yahoo.com/sports/bill-belichick-england-121215841.html

     

    Bill Belichick out in New England

    The Bill Belichick era is over in New England.

    Belichick and the Patriots have mutually agreed to part ways, according to multiple reports.

    It ends a 24-year run as head coach of the Patriots that saw New England win six Super Bowls, an unprecedented level of success.

    That draft order was where things stood before this past weekend's games. We'll be picking at 18 in the first round. Mims would be a good pick for the Bengals. We could also use an inexpensive veteran swing tackle for coverage since Carman and Smith haven't shown anything. Though maybe the Bengals think they have that guy in Ford. I'd like someone a bit better than Ford, such as George Fant, Cam Fleming, Jermaine Eluemenor, or Morgan Moses. 

    Doubt if Carman and Smith are here next year.

    Yup I suspect they add another guy in the draft. Williams can go and we aren't even using Evans so lets find another guy to contribute. 

    I agree about Williams and Evans being gone.

    I think if Clyde Edwards-Hilaire is cut and becomes a free agent

    he will be a Bengal before the end to the day.

    Not sure of his injury status but looked like he became Kansas City's Chris Brown.

    Agree and Joe went even further, as if it was needed, to show what a quality guy

    and orange and black bleeding Bengal he is, when he was thinking about Tee when

    he did his own contract negotiations.  Totally unselfish.

    Tee will be here next year but I have doubts about the year after.

    And I will absolutely hate that.

    BTW... #5 Higgins jerseys on sale in the pro shop... not a good sign.

    The ball is in Tee's court but his balls are in his agent's hands.

    Would love to see Tee set that pimp straight on who works for whom

    and get something done to keep him where he is loved and respected rather

    than starting from scratch with some scrubs.

    Joe can't block for himself. 

     

    He still got his 1000 yards though.

    He can't block for Joe, either.

     

    He got 100+ yards yesterday playing against people who may not even be on that team next year.

    Or the NFL.

     

    The Bengals are not going to get any better by staying the same

    and Mixon is not going to get any better getting a year older.

     

    But you're right.  He'll be back.
