Interesting, I wonder how much training your brain in this can help with the football stuff. I'd be interested in seeing a study like that.

CJ Stroud spends a lot of time playing chess.

I will give the front office credit for trying to improve the OG room with something clearly unplanned.

Maybe, but it could also be all of the injuries piling up. Don't know the severity of Volson's injury, but he might well have been waived even if fully healthy. Risner's back issues are why he's still available this late in august.

Risner would be an instant starter at RG. He's also played the left side in his career. His highest single earning season was 3.5 mil so he shouldn't be too expensive. That has to appeal to Duke and Katie.

He should be a Bengal by this time tomorrow.

This recurring "well they were the #1 offense" argument reminds me a bit of when Kerri Strug won Olympic Gold in 1996 with a dislocated ankle.

The lesson there is that she was good enough and tough enough to still win gold despite the dislocated ankle.

Not that other gymnasts should start dislocating their ankles to have a better chance at gold medals.

I like the cut of her (and his) jib. Though I am concerned that certain "fans" won't like him based on his first name alone. 1/2 :ninja:

Still has to pass a physical. He had some serious back issues last season that caused him to miss much of the season. Hopefully his back is fine now and won't remind everyone of La'el Collins.

He missed the first 8 games for the Vikings last year then played the remainder of the season and their playoff game. So I'd expect him to be healthy at the moment.

After their match ...

I got my 8-year-old nephew that same chess set last Christmas 😂
