First and foremost, CAN THEY PROTECT JOE??? Nothing else matters if they can't and if you don't think they will try to take him out, think again. Dirty carrion eating bastards.

Burrow doesn't make excuses. Hopefully he will show them tonight how good he is when healthy. In the meantime, him and our OL had better keep their heads on a swivel.

And in Ohio, we now have some Republican members of the legislature who want to outlaw the Ohio courts from ruling on any lawsuits stemming from Issue 1 passing or anything the legislature might try to pass to stem the influence of Issue 1. Fortunately, Mike Dewine says that the will of the people must be respected, and the Speaker of the House said it's a no-go. "This is straight out of Schoolhouse Rock. You have to keep the legislative and judicial branches separate. That's why there are 3 branches of government."

My thoughts exactly. Aside from Tre Flowers being able to handle tight ends, we haven't handled tight ends in years.

I was trying to find online if he was flagged for this and couldn't find a summary of penalties anywhere.

You maybe can blame the play calling and preparation on Taylor, but I didn’t see him dropping balls that hit him in the hands or throwing into triple coverage. I didn’t see him not wrapping up running backs and WRs and letting them getting a ton of yards after initial contact. There were just too many uncharacteristic mistakes on both sides of the ball.

Not to mention saving money. I remember my son commenting on how one of his friends signed up for 3 AP classes, while the friend was in the car with us. So I did some quick math and figured out that with these classes, the friend would save $9000 in tuition. Then I asked my son who the stupid person in the car was. 😂

I said last week not to sleep on the Texans. Tackling was horrible, mistakes that this team normally doesn’t make were made, and it was just a sloppy game on the defensive and offensive sides. We missed Hubbard. And to add insult to injury, I have to sit at dinner with 2 very happy Browns fans. 😡😩

It does look kind of head to head to me and I wonder why it wasn’t flagged but fined after the fact. But we’ve all been criticizing Volson for not being physical enough. 😜

The program I was referring to is a partnership between Columbus City Schools and a private foundation called I Know I Can where they actually pay the tuition for CCS graduates to go to Columbus State Community College and get an associate degree, and then those students are guaranteed admission into some of the local universities, including OSU to further their education if they choose to. The students have to pay tuition for the further education. However, CCS does offer a numerous amount of opportunities for students to obtain simultaneous HS and college credit, while still in HS. They partner with OSU for “ Seniors to Sophomores “ where students spend part of their day at OSU and take classes for credit. When my son was in HS, he took an online sociology course through Columbus State that counted for both HS and college credit. There’s a charter school that is a partnership between OSU, Battelle Memorial Institute, and the school districts in Franklin County that emphasizes STEM where the students take classes at OSU. My neighbor went there and started at OSU as a sophomore. There are also AP classes that HS students can take for college credit, if they pass the test.

Our school district does have a program in conjunction with a private foundation where graduates do get a free associate degree from our local community college. I think Cleveland Schools have a similar program.

I know this isn’t NCAA, but my alma mater, Mercy McAuley High School, just won their first state title in volleyball in Division II. This is the first team state title the school has won in anything since the school was formed by merging 2 schools in 2018. So proud of the team!!

This seems like a good place to put this: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/entertainment/2023/11/09/joe-burrow-travis-kelce-jason-kelce-people-magazine-sexiest-men-in-sports/71514238007/

Kirby Criswell was an answer to a trivia question many years ago that I knew and since I knew it, I won a game worn jersey. 😂

I don’t think that’s so bad.

Maybe he’s starting to come around, too.

My initial inclination is to root for Cleveland so Baltimore gets another loss, but on the other hand, there’s an argument for rooting for Baltimore so we can climb over Cleveland and make our way up the standings one team at a time. Long and short of it is, we need to take care of our business and let the rest of the division beat each other up and out.

And if you add TEs to the mix, oy vey.

Buffalo probably thought, “Cover the TE? The Bengals don’t use their TEs. We don’t need to cover them.”

That was my thought also.

I actually have this cassette tape. But, we get CJ Stroud and the Texans next and he just set the record for most passing yards by a rookie in a game with 470 yards.

What’s the next winning lottery numbers going to be, Jamie? 😂

CTB got away with a face mask.

But the Bills are also giving up 5.1 yards per rush.

Trying to outsmart Buffalo.
