What an amazing story about an amazing local Cincinnati guy. Born/raised in Cincy, Roger Bacon HS, Xavier University, played professional football, baseball, and basketball including the NFL with the Detroit Lions, coached HS and college football and basketball including taking the UC Bearcats to the NIT championship...then was the Chairman of the Hamilton County Democratic Party later in life. Sad that I never heard of this guy previously. My grandfather was a policeman in St. Bernard, where Roger Bacon is, and a big sports fan. I'll bet he knew him. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Socko stayed local even in death as he is buried in St. Bernard at St Mary's Cemetery along with his wife...just a short walk from the high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebengal Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 More Cincinnati football history: https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2023/11/18/before-bengals-reds-were-cincinnati-first-nfl-team/71578763007/ And we thought some of the ‘90s Bengals teams were bad.

Le Tigre Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Fascinating to read history of when the NFL—or pro football in general—was an afterthought to most people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shebengal Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 This OL just got waived in Philly. Maybe we could pick him up. He was a first round draft pick. https://www.google.com/search?q=bernard+williams+released&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en&client=safari https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/10097913-bernard-williams-reacts-to-eagles-release-at-51-years-old-last-played-in-1994.amp.html 😂😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|High School Harry| Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 I guess its fairly safe to now say the two games with TBD (To Be Determined) kick off times are not slotted for 1:00 Sunday and not a more prime time slot because no one wants to see that crap. Unless they move them to Thursday that no one watches, anyway, unless their team is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
|High School Harry| Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2023/11/19/bengals-moved-primetime-joe-burrow-out/ Bengals could get moved from primetime with Joe Burrow out With Joe Burrow out for the season with a wrist injury, TV stations are likely looking forward to their prime time slots which the Cincinnati Bengals are scheduled to play in, and thinking about making some changes. The Bengals’ Week 13 game against Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars is supposed to be played on ESPN’s Monday Night Football (away), and it’s entirely possible that game could be flexed out and played on Sunday, Dec. 3 instead. The Bengals also play a Saturday game against the Pittsburgh Stealers in Week 16 on Dec. 23 (away), and a 4:25 game against the Kansas City Chiefs the week after that (away). The Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Chargers face off in Week 16 on Peacock, while the Bengals are supposed to be broadcast on NBC, so there could likely be a change there so Josh Allen and Justin Herbert are on national TV while the Bengals move to a streaming service. With the Bengals’ main attraction out for the season and the Bengals at the bottom of the AFC North with a 5-5 record, it is definitely a possibility there could be some schedule changes for Cincinnati in the upcoming weeks.

|BlackJesus| Posted November 20, 2023 Report Share Posted November 20, 2023 ^ Without Burrow I would prefer all the games are just played Sunday at 1 pm. No need to put a Burrow-less *asterisk* Bengals in front of a national audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
