    The agent is making his client look stupid, asking for unrealistic demands. A quick search of the agents' web site shows that his only other name client is Marquez Valdez Scandling, so maybe he sees Trey as his cash cow and is pumping his head with sweet nothings about him being underpaid because of the new deals that were signed this offseason. 

     

    If he thinks the Bengals are going to trade Trey or extend him when there's no reason to do so is just silly. Trey isn't going retire, if so he wouldn't be asking for a trade....all of this poorly timed and executed..big time fail on the agents part. 

    If the agent only has one other name client, then that leads me to believe that he, as I just told a client and fellow Bengals fans "does not know with whom he is messing". My client asked if it was because of Mike Brown's cheapness and I said no, because it was because of Mike Brown's principles. Basically he's going to say "Shut up and play." or "Shut up and retire."

    Last week, a pair of those jacked-up Civics (I call them loud go-carts) were racing on a freeway I was on. Learned a long time ago, stay in a lane more to the middle when you see/hear them coming). Passed me in the far left two lanes—easily 120mph. 
     

    Always wonder why? Unless there is high stakes money involved (and on an approved track), why risk lives—including their clueless own—over such triviality? 

    Were you on I-270?

     

    I see these idiots on I-71 all the time. We also have issues with motorcycles/crotch rockets parading up and down High St. and last year had a bunch of cars take over Indianola Ave. at Cooke Rd. one weekend , doing burnouts and donuts and racing.

    My father did that in 1944–except he was 22 the year before, and was co-piloting B-17’s while dodging flak and Messerschmitts. 
     

     

    My father did that in 1944, but he was an 18 year old guiding a minesweeper across the Pacific. Being the efficient person he was, he got it to its destination ahead of schedule. He was a Navy cartographer who spent his spare time plotting ways back to Louisville using only waterways. I used to call him the human Mapquest.

    My son had a baseball teammate one year who was only there because his friends were playing. He was a scrawny kid who knew nothing about the game and actually wore sandals to one practice. He used to wear a pink T-shirt that said “Real men wear pink “. He wound up winning a world title in Shuai Jiao when he was only 18.

    Stealers hit roadblock with signing Bengals FA WR Tyler Boyd

    At this point in free agency, the most coveted players are gone. The Pittsburgh Stealers may have had a plan when they traded Diontae Johnson, but we’ve not yet seen it come to fruition. That’s not to say it won’t still happen if the play was to sign Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd but according to Stealers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo, the two sides aren’t agreeing on money, so Pittsburgh is going to try to wait him out.

    They’re trying to wait out Tyler Boyd. I’m not quite sure how that’s going to end up going down here. I know that he wants to get paid more than they’re offering him. 

     

    Boyd isn’t the only free-agent receiver left on the market but his ties to Pittsburgh seem to make him the one the Stealers want the most. The Stealers have dedicated significant resources to scouting some of the top receivers in the 2024 NFL draft which we assume is Plan B if Boyd and Stealers can’t reach an agreement prior to the draft.

    Wonder how much he’s asking for, and how is Pisspuke cap wise?

    The Bengals are content to try and go 3-3 or even 2-4 in the north and dog walk the rest of the league. Might cost them a bye/home field but they’ve beat the Chiefs and Bills on the road so I’m not sure that phases them at all. The moves they’ve made have been to stop explosive pass plays and run their offense out of 11. They are gearing up to beat the Chiefs/Bills/Texans not the Browns/Stealers/Ravens

    But unless we meet them in the playoffs, we're not even scheduled to play the Bills or Texans this year. We do need to figure out how to beat the rest of the AFC North since that is six games of our schedule.

    I will turn 70 in December and just love playing soccer, including in tournaments around the country.  I may very well drop dead while playing, but at least I will be doing something I love.  

     

    That’s what our neighbor did. He died doing something he loved. I quit playing softball some years back, but would like to get back into it. I still do 8-10 mile bike rides when the weather is cooperative.

    Let me guess: this isn’t the same volleyball they play at Flannigan’s on Sawmill Road? 🙂

    Hardly. 
     

    Speaking of volleyball at Flanagan’s Pub: Sad but true story. We had a long time neighbor 3 doors down from us. Nice guy-Browns and Indians fan. We’d see him walking his dogs and he would stop by our yard sales every year and he and hubby would talk sports. He ran a business out of his house, so we would save our padded mailers for him to reuse. Anyway, a few years ago, he was playing volleyball at Flanagan’s one really warm Labor Day, had a heart attack, and died. He was in his early 60’s.

    Ironically my buddy has left and is now a registered democrat, he got tired of working on stuff he didnt believe in, so he quit and is now a stay at home dad with his new baby girl.

    I hope your friend is cherishing this time with his daughter. Parenthood goes way too fast. I’m also guessing his blood pressure is a lot lower.

    One of the biggest problems in Washington that I have seen from one of the guys in my Men's Bible Study who used to work for Congresswoman Miller Meeks as her legislative director, is that the politicians are too concerned about getting political wins.
