  1. No chance in hell the Browns trade Garrett in division, and I doubt they even trade him.
  2. I have no problem with the Burton pick. It was a risk for sure, but like others have said, all picks are risks. Risk/reward is a real thing. I wouldn't cut Burton either. Who knows, he may see the light this offseason. BUT....If he pulls any of the crap he was accused of last season...late to meetings, sleeping in meetings, missing practice? Hit the road, kid.
  3. This is where the Bengals go cheap instead of hiring more scouts and personnel professionals. TJ vouches for Burton. Didn't Willie Anderson vouch for Carman? F that crap. Hire some guys that are professionals and have a proven track record.
  4. Bengals not having much luck with Fairfield High School grads....
  5. Of course they will. It's not like he's a big cost. His play was very promising and even if the odds are against him why not give him a shot?
  6. While I do agree that the Bengals need a powerful runner to compliment Brown, it is more about the OL. Have you watched Philadelphia this season? I'm not criticizing Barkley, he is an excellent RB, but the holes! He's not getting touched until he's in the secondary! The Eagles OL is beyond good. The "tush push" isn't just a crazy play, it banks on the best OL in football. Allen may be the most powerful QB as a runner in the NFL, but his line couldn't get that extra yardage for him. It's about the OL.
  7. Not real had to design a defense when you know exactly what the offense is going to do....Bills made it easy.
  8. Dumbass OC. Allen is one of the best passers in the league and they took the ball out of his hands. Andy Reid always seems to give Mahomes options. Or maybe Allen had options and was not smart enough to pick the correct one.
  9. The Bills had a chance to go up two scores after stopping the Chiefs twice in the second half, but genius Joe Brady went exclusively with the run, including many sneaks with their best player. I get that Allen is a great runner, for a QB, but that idiot took the ball out of Allen's hands. The game turned on that failed fourth down run. The Bills told them what was coming and the Chiefs stopped it. Dumb.
  10. I don't want to hear anyone suggest Joe Brady as the Bengals OC ever again. He blew it.
  11. Truth. Still, the OL isn't acceptable when what's at risk is the one player you can't win without. It is mind boggling how poorly they have drafted OL. At this point you can't just say it is luck. Something is wrong with their evaluations. Glad Mims looks like a keeper, but damn. What was it? 12 years without drafting even a decent OL?
  12. The amount of respect other HOFers have for Munoz is immense. Stories are they even quit cursing when he is around. As great of a OT he was, he's equally respected as a person. I can't imagine they would choose anyone else.
  13. Well, when a lot of your players had nicer facilities in college....
  14. If I'm not mistaken, that was the first concert I ever saw with a $20 ticket price. Pissed me off and I didn't go. hahaha...
  15. Yep. College football is becoming more like the NFL. It's a LONG season if you are going to win the National Championship. You are probably going to lose a game or two, and that's OK. It's not going to keep you out of the playoffs, and that embarrassment might prove motivating. Worked for both OSU and ND. Now, losing to your #1 rival four years in a row will require some pretty fancy winning, which Day accomplished.
  16. More likely bettors.
  17. Meh...The Bengals wasted career years from their two best players. The Ravens fell apart in the playoffs, again. Both are quite disappointing, IMO.
  18. Both seasons end in disappointment. Little difference.
  19. As far as the NBA goes, the game is much the same as it has been for decades. Going through the motions for three quarters and then maybe playing hard in the fourth quarter. The problem the NBA has is with its most visible players. They aren’t likeable. LeBron? Woof. Not a bad person, but the poster boy for entitlement. Plenty other guys who are hard to like. NBA needs LeBron to retire in the worst way.
  20. The board was all excited when Pollack was hired. Talk of “glass eaters” and other BS. I don’t have a problem with the hire, but I’m not getting excited.
  21. In the old days veterans also stuck together and rookies were treated like crap. Not just in football. Today players are a bit smarter and are looking for people to help them win and most players embrace rookies and help coach them up, if they'll listen. (Burton)
  22. Did God tell him to fool around with underage girls?
  23. Pffft. Buffalo didn't win. Baltimore lost.
  24. They can fix up a knee as long as there is cartilage left. Hip arthroscopy is a much newer procedure and they are still learning what works and what doesn't.
