Here’s one more reason to root for the Lions. Local boy makes good. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/01/27/detroit-lions-david-montgomery-nfc-championship-san-francisco-49ers/72381503007/ From everything I’ve read over the years on my hometown Facebook page, he’s truly a good dude.

I had a hard time deciding on the AFC game but I have decided to root for the Chiefs. Screw Baltiwhore.

My thoughts exactly.

Ewww. Gross. 😷 🤢🤮Especially the defecating on the head part.

I don't know. The Fumble in the Jungle was a great moment. Sounds like fodder for a poll to entertain us during the dead time between the combine and the opening of free agency.

I agree that my tax dollars shouldn't go towards the coach's salary, and if you believe the blather from the Athletic Dept., it doesn't. The Athletic Dept. is self supporting, blah, blah, blah. Maybe funding educations the way you suggest is the way to go, but then the university couldn't collect exorbitant room and board from the students who can't commute under your plan. Heaven forbid! Here in Columbus, if you are a Columbus City School graduate, you get free tuition to Columbus State for 2 years to complete an associate's degree. It's a private foundation/public partnership with the school district that pays for it, so not totally funded by tax dollars. There's no one "good" or "bad" answer.

To me, this is meh. The Chargers haven't had that much success with Herbert at QB and Moore as the OC.

That shouldn't have canceled out anything.

I think that the issue that needs to be addressed is the cost of college in the first place. We paid for our son's education out of our pockets. We informed him of what we had budgeted for his education and told him to make it work. Fortunately, he chose to commute and live at home the first 2 years, and with the scholarships he received, we made it work. When he decided to move out his junior year, he paid his living expenses, not us. We live less than 2 miles from OSU, so we see all of the new, fancy buildings that are built on and off campus so that they can attract "the best and the brightest" students, and some of the on campus facilities are really nice. It's a "Keeping up with the Jones" mentality, and universities could afford to build or upgrade these buildings when interest rates are low, so they did. They also instituted a requirement for sophomores to live on campus some years back, in addition to freshmen, so they had to build more living facilities. As for the new off campus facilities, some of the new apartments cost $1200.00/month for a studio apartment. Granted, everything is included, and in one building, there is a Starbucks, so the residents of that building get limited free Starbucks coffee, but who needs to pay that much for a studio apartment? It's a money grab with the university and the landlords. We also do "urban recycling" every summer when the students move out, and you should see the stuff that students throw out. Big screen TVs, laptops, unused gift cards, Xbox games, etc. That shows me that some students are accruing debt but not being responsible with it. I have a friend whose daughter is getting ready to go to college. She makes too much money to qualify for any kind of grants, so she is hoping that her daughter doesn't get into OSU so she can go to a local community college for the first 2 years and save some money, and then transfer into OSU. That's horrible, I know. I will admit that there are some people who honestly need help, but they usually qualify for Pell grants and similar grants. So, explain again to me why my tax dollars should go to pay for some other kid's Starbucks? I don't even drink it myself.

I’m not really thrilled about this, anymore than I’m thrilled about paying for other parents in Ohio who make up to $145,000.00/year to send their kids to private schools.

Anyone know Ryan Tannehill's status?

Don’t tell that to Cleveland.

Could also be Minnesota-Jets.

🤦‍♀️🥺

We’re a pass heavy team because we have an all world QB so our coaches want to lean on that as much as possible. Unfortunately, we’re also in a tough, physical, run heavy division with defenses that are designed to take away the passing game, with 2 of the defenses featuring possibly the best pass rushers in the game, so it’s not a good match up for us. The only way we are going to compete in this division in the near future is if the coaches design a team with a more balanced offense.

I know a lot of people who won Iowa didn’t win the nomination. Didn’t Rick Santorum win Iowa, too, I’m thinking in 2012?

That’s what I was saying to my husband the other night when he was devouring the results. Aside from being first in the nation, why is Iowa so important? They only have 40 delegates, it’s not winner takes all, and less than 20% of registered Republicans came out to vote.

Too bad there aren’t more OL on this list.

I had this hanging in my dorm room.

Oh, hell no!!!

Not to mention in-game intelligence and leadership. Hence, the reason why I would take Burrow over Herbert every time. (Which I can't seem to get through to my hubby no matter how hard I try.)

Too bad they didn't get rid of Bill Callahan, too. I'm kind of surprised at this, considering all of the injuries that they had on their offense, and the lack of talent at WR (aside from Amari Cooper) that they had to work with. I guess Kevin Stefanski is taking all of the credit for their success in spite of the injuries, especially since his name is being bandied about as a COTY winner. (Which I think is going to go to DeMeco Ryans,, or it should.)

A lot of my Browns fans friends would agree.

And Clowns lose with picks that Houston acquired from them.

I didn’t see a thread for this started so I figured this would be a good place put this. The Henry siblings moved back to North Carolina. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/sports/high-school/high-school-sports/2024/01/13/withrow-standout-chris-henry-jr-and-siblings-leave-cincinnati/72215679007/?itm_medium=recirc&itm_source=taboola&itm_campaign=internal&itm_content=MobileBelowHomepageFeed-FeedRedesign They went back to live with their mom.
