I think this is kind of weird.  And creepy.

 

I think it's badass. What guy doesn't want a sword? (Other than you apparently)

 

Next year should be Battle Axes. 

These are the Swords the Defense deserves.

i mean.. other than they sound like museum pieces & this being the kinda shit that gets your house robbed when people know you're out of town... and a little bit mall ninja end boss..

 

yeah, pretty badass.  too bad there aren't any photos. I'd maybe have gone Merkel or Purdey shotguns so you could all go shoot clays together, I like functional gifts people will use, but that's just me.  Could always dramatically break the sword out of its display case if some NERF hooligans hop your fence or your chef serves you an overcooked steak.

Joe Burrow certainly wins the 'best QB gift to OL' award

What quarterbacks gift their offensive linemen around the holidays has become something of a public competition, it seems.

And of course, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow wants to win.

That’s how it feels, anyway. According to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic, Burrow gifted his linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords, letting his linemen pick out their own from a selection.

“Joe does a great job at buying gifts that are extremely meaningful,” Orlando Brown said, according to Dehner. “The fact that he bought me a sword, it’s the most ancient form of respect.”

Where some quarterbacks settle for more normal things like gifting his linemen cars, Burrow went a bit extra here — and it rules. Go figure, from the guy who bought his own Batmobile.

 

 

Joe clearly has a burner account on this site as the number one emoji used is this 

 

 

 

We clearly inspired him

 

 

Twelve years today: December 21, 2012....

 

(To the tune of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia):

 

Mike Tomlin welcomed the Bengals, he was looking for a game to steal

He was in a bind, he was way behind, he was willing to make a deal

When he came across a tall coach running a team who was playing hot

Tomlin jumped on a hickory stump and said, "boy, let me tell you what"

 

"I'll bet you didn't know it but I'm a football coach, too

And if you'd care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you.

Now you coach pretty good football, boy, but give The Tomlin his due

I'll bet a playoff berth of gold against your soul 'cause I think I'm better than you"

 

The coach said, "My name's Marvin, and it might be a sin

But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret cause my team's the best it's ever been"

 

Marvin you ready up your team and play those Stealers hard

'Cause hell's broke loose in Pittsburgh and The Tomlin deals the cards

And if you win you'll get this shiny playoff spot of gold

But if you lose The Tomlin gets your soul!

 

(fiddle music bridge)

 

The Tomlin called the coin toss and he said, "I'll start this show"

And fire flew from his coaching whistle as he told his Stealers to go

As the Roethlisberger touched the ball it made an evil hiss

And a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this:

 

(raucous evil music, with lyrics that translate loosely as...)

When the Tomlin finished, Marvin said: "You're pretty good ol' son.

But sit down on that bench right there and let me show you how its done."

 

Hand the ball to Law Firm, run boy run!

The Tomlin's in the house with our Red Rifle gun!

Dunlap in the backfield, haulin' in sacks!

Another score for AJ, breakin' their backs!

 

(fiddle music bridge)

 

The Tomlin bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.

He laid that playoff berth on the ground at Marvin's feet.

Marvin said: "Tomlin just come on back if you ever want to try again.

cause I told you once, you son of a gun, my team's the best they've ever been!"

Very good Amish ...

I wish Mike Tomlin had been out coach all these years.

 

Colonel Joseph Lee Burrow:

 

Father—
I discovered some of the men lacked proper armament. Therefore, I spent a bit of coin and purchased a sword for each man on the front line. I asked that they never be drawn without reason nor sheathed without honor. I found gift-wrapping them to be quite challenging.
—Joe

On the sword 

 

 

What you guys are missing on this sword thing, they're "Hara-kiri" swords used to commit suicide by disembowelment!

 

Joe is asking them to do the honorable thing and kill themselves!  lol

Here's how close the Bengals came to NOT getting Joe Burrow.

 

Week 16, 2019. We were (1-13) with 2 weeks to play. Down 16 points with under a minute to go. If we lose they get the #1 pick. If we win, turns out we don't.

 

 

 

We finished 2-14. Washington was 3-13 with a worse SoS. Had we both finished tied, we would've picked 2nd.

 

 

Just watching this…puts the “tank” theory to rest. 
 

No team “tanks”.

Into a trophy case as a compliment by Joe Burrow for your appreciated effort.

Nice gesture that the guys will cherish..

Let's hope they take better care of the swords, eh?
