May 13, 20223 yr comment_1671381 Looks like I may have to break my annual tradition of always attending the home opener. I made a solemn vow after that January night in 2016 to never be in the same stadium with those Black/Gold bastards and their fans ever again.

May 13, 20223 yr Author comment_1671388 I noticed the NFL gave the Browns the easier Panthers, Jets, Steelers, Falcons to open the year as they must think Rub&Tug will get at least a 4 game suspension. Of course we play Cleveland weeks 8 and 14 after any such suspension. 🤨
May 13, 20223 yr comment_1671389 2 hours ago, BlackJesus said: I really feel like the NFL missed a big opportunity to put the Saints game on Mon night. Likely because they didn't want to see more Burrow and Chase jerseys in New Orleans than crab leg thief Winston. The problem is the Saints have no star power besides maybe Kamara? Jameis Winston is just a guy. Brees and Peyton are gone.
May 13, 20223 yr Author comment_1671390 The Bengals 3 @ 4:25 games are arguably our biggest TV ratings draws (Cowboys, Chiefs, and Bucs) and I would predict all 3 will be the national Romo game of the week.

"this matchuo is neat but has absolutely no national appeal" is what someone said, i forget who. and they are right when i thought about it.. "HERE WE ARE, MONDAY NIGHT< WHERE TWO GUYS....PLAYED COLLEGE AT A COLLEGE NEARBY HERE...... to play an unrelated nfl team" - the announcer. * shruggs*

But I think you are not taking into account what that LSU team and Burrows season was. I would argue they were the best college team of all time (edging out the 95 Cornhuskers imo) and Burrow had the greatest college season ever, so they are like the one exemption to the rule. LSU is a central component to the Bengals success - because of Burrow and Chase, so they are inexplicably linked. And LSU is a much bigger draw in Louisiana than the Saints.

And LSU is a much bigger draw in Louisiana than the Saints. yea but no one cares, hell i barely care, i totally get all the checkpoints and neat little connections and facts and itll be a big game for those local fans. but national tv wise. no one cares. all of the connections and stuff doesnt make the matchup any better, there is no connection between the teams, different division, hell different conference, and one team is pretty bad. i am like 1% more excited about the saints game than i am about the jets game, just to see if a decent amount of fans have bengals stuff on locally. you need national nfl fans to: 1. even care about college football, at all. 2. care who won the national championship 3 years ago. 3. and then care that two stars from that college, 75 miles from this nfl team, is playing against that nfl team. IMO youre slicing off like 25% of national audience caring with each one of those things. again, i think its cool, and will be neat, but some bears fan or broncos fan isnt going to give 2 shits about that game whether our boys went to LSU and got a ring or not. just my opinion after hearing some talking heads bring it up. 95% of people who will care are either going or going to watch it no matter when its on.. so no gain putting it on primetime.
