Wash Post gave y'all a B- Cincinnati Bengals The Bengals didn’t trade star pass rusher Trey Hendrickson, the NFL’s leader in sacks last season. But they still haven’t reached a contract resolution with him. Whether Hendrickson stays or not, upgrading the defense is the main issue after the Bengals spent big money in the offseason to keep their offense intact at the behest of quarterback Joe Burrow. The selections of pass rusher Shemar Stewart in the first round and linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr. in the second represented some progress in that regard. But it’s debatable whether it was anywhere close to enough. Grade: B-

Come on Jamie - it is always NATIONAL AIRPORT (or DCA in airport code language).

Jamie, you will boycott this airport if this happens. https://www.axios.com/2024/04/02/house-republicans-trump-dulles-airport

I thought about adding a link to this thread but decided against it. But, it is sad.

I went to see the National Christmas Tree in December and walking the backside of the White House to get to the path I needed to, there was a small protest happening. Fortunately, DC has a transit system that is very good and goes to multiple suburbs. But, unless you are listening to WTOP (the news station in DC), you may not know about this happening till it is too late.

And in DC today.... https://wtop.com/traffic/2024/02/demonstrators-block-traffic-throughout-dc-and-virginia-snarling-morning-commute/

You're not wrong. I don't get it. Why do people want to ruin their lives?

https://viewfromthewing.com/300-jews-stranded-on-washington-dulles-tarmac-after-bus-drivers-refuse-service/ Around 900 Jews from Detroit flew to D.C. to join a protest march against Hamas, seeking return of hostages taken on October 7th. However bus drivers who had been contracted to pick up the group from Washington Dulles airport learned of the purpose of the trip, and reportedly engaged in a sick out, refusing to pick up the group. After scrambling for transportation around 600 people made it, while 300 – stuck on the tarmac for hours – eventually returned home.

Damn, it's been nearly 2 years at Microsoft? It certainly doesn't feel like it!

Jamie - I know we talked earlier today, but when you listed the old threads, and 9th mile freestyle thread was listed, I laughed out loud. That was some of the best comedy I have seen on a message board ever. I will miss y'all trash talking to each other.

I watched this game in it's entireity, Kentucky was down 10-0 to start the game.  It will be interesting to see how far Robert Morris gets in the NIT though.
