Shebengal Posted March 8 Report Share Posted March 8 So, my son may be a Browns fan, but he knows what I like. This was one of my Christmas presents. We just found them in a pile of mail that was opened but I guess I didn’t see them. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had come across it when younger, but the sport was virtually unknown around my parts in the late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s. Good on ya for still doing it. Glad I did find golf, though. While not an aerobic sort of thing, it’s still a nice 3-4 mile walk over hill and dale a few times a week Soccer was also “unknown” when I grew up in central Indiana. I basically just ran track and cross-country in high school. When my now 39-year-old son was 6, my wife signed him up for soccer…and that was the first time I had ever even touched a soccer ball. I helped out (bench babysitter) with his team a few seasons. When my daughter turned 6, I figured that I knew enough to coach 6- and 7-year-old girls, so I signed up to coach her team. Quite the shock when I received my roster…and they had instead given me my son’s team of 10- and 11-year-old boys. So I read a lot of books…and ended up with a great bunch of boys…and they went 7-2-1 (W-L-D) with a coach that didn’t know what he was doing. With what I know now, I think I could take that team to 10-0. After a few seasons of coaching, I thought that it looked like fun and I would like to try it. I reached out to an over-30 coed league in Loveland and ended up getting invited to sub for a team in a make-up game. So, at the age of 42, I played my first game of soccer. I had a blast. I ended up helping to create a new over-30 coed team (A Few Gray Hares) and have been playing ever since. I now run a 16-team Over-40 outdoor league in the spring and in the fall. I just love this sport. ⚽️ [Apologies for the non-Bengals content] 🦗 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleeds Orange Posted March 11 Report Share Posted March 11 On 3/6/2024 at 6:52 PM, BlackJesus said: That 1980 team was a lot better than they get credit for, and that season was a foreshadowing of what would happen in 1981. They started 0-2 with losses by 5 points and 1 point, then defeated the defending champion Stealers, who came in at 2-0. The Bengals had been 2-8 against them the previous five seasons. They followed that up with two more losses, by 3 points and 5 points to drop to 1-4, setting up a Week 6 rematch with Pittsburgh, who was now 4-1. The Bengals beat them yet again, this time at Three Rivers, meaning that at that point, the 2-4 Bengals' only two wins were against Pittsburgh and 4-2 Pittsburgh's only two losses were against the Bengals. The Bengals four losses were by a combined 14 points. They were a good team that found a way to lose in the end. After a 14-0 shutout of the Vikings, they were 3-4 and it looked like a first winning season in three years could be possible, but five straight blowout losses put them at 3-9 and it looked like a third straight 4-12 was in the works. They did win three more straight to get to 6-9 before losing a close one at home to Cleveland in Week 16. That was the game Pat McInally got injured on a cheap hit - I'll bet some of you remember it. Does anyone remember if there were extenuating circumstances (injuries?) that led to that five-game losing streak? There was a night and day difference in their performance for those five games compared to the other 11 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
