  1. Don’t let the facts get in the way! Oh, and let’s point out that while he may currently be about 16th, he’s getting less than 50% of what the top guys are getting. If you have a problem with that then you are just looking for problems to complain about, imo.
  2. But then Hoecht got hurt, so here we are. I still can’t blame the way they went about the team building. Like signing Von, they took a swing and it didn’t work out. I’d be excited to see this defense play if they were healthy, but that’s hard to come by.
  3. We should be more like the Bengals. They went to a Super Bowl a few years ago, remember? Instead of blaming the FO for the Rousseau contract, maybe you should praise the incredible Bosa contract? This seems to indicate a predisposition. Yes, Groot makes $20AAV, but the top DE’s all make at least double that, in the $40-45Mil AAV range. He’s not a speedy, bendy edge rusher, piling up sacks. That’s not what he does, and that’s not how he’s paid, so I’m fine with the deal. Saying it’s not as good as the Bosa deal is silly and fails to give credit for the STEAL that was the Bosa signing. The Big Picture is helpful for perspective when viewing these deals. Bosa might be one of the very best signings in the entire NFL last offseason. And cherrypicking examples with the benefit of hindsight is so worn out here…..
  4. I remember that. It was the last time the Bengals made the playoffs. Anything might happen this weekend, but it will have nothing to do with what happened a few years ago. I’m not seeking gloom and doom, I’ll just wait and watch the game.
  5. You want to go to the Arts Center?
  6. I wish for a win against the Bengals.
  7. Thank you for falling on that grenade and saving many of us from potential emotional trauma. Who am I kidding? These guys are probably even MORE curious now. 😂
  8. Have you ever seen me and @HOUSE in the same place at the same time??? I didn’t think so…..
  9. The Bengals are too cheap for housekeepers. The best they will do is run a leaf blower thru the kitchen.
  10. Yes, but is he taller than the little line that says if he’s big enough to go on this ride?
  11. By all means, and I hope you are on top of your game, sir!
  12. This could turn into some HR gold, I tell you! 😂 It helps if you turn yourself in before you are reported, I hear. Have fun!
  13. Not to mention, if you voted does that mean you are calling yourself a McD apologist? I refuse to be burdened with silly labels. I am not an apologist, nor am I carrying a pitchfork. This is a little too much like the dreaded “P Word” for me. Most people are rational and in the middle somewhere, but they are not the people we hear from the most. There are not just two sides to anything. The funny thing is, if McD won a SB or two, I wouldn’t see him any differently. He gets no pass from me, no lifetime extension. I would judge how the team performs each week and over time. I wouldn’t say “LOOK! I was right!” I’d still be concerned about the shortcomings I see in his coordinator hires, among other things. Since the Frazier hire it’s mostly been clear underlings rather than established minds great on one side of the ball or the other. I’d rather not have guys trying to grow into the job. I don’t love everything about the guy, but I do appreciate the good that has come from his tenure. Hopefully he gets a ring, and I’ll of course be happy, but it’s a process that will continue to move forward.
  14. I think he wanted to be an alchemist as a child, and this is part of his grand plan. And an admirable plan it is, I must say! But I’ll let you guys try it first. .
  15. Maybe they watched Charles Barkley’s golf swing when they were little, and it scarred them? .
  16. We are trying to get the clunkers out of the way, getting ready for the Miracle Click! Peak at the right time!
  17. Yeah, you don’t want to wear those if your arthritis is flaring up and you’re having ice tea by the gallon at lunch. Don’t create a crisis. Oddly, if you were drinking gallons of beer I think you’d forget about your sore hands and just power thru it.
  18. ….did you make it in time???
  19. I was born the same month and year as the Bills, October of 1959. A lot of stuff happened before the 80’s.
  20. This makes it harder for me to maintain my rage, but I’ll work on it. That is clearly what they dearly wanted, and we aim to please! When I lose my stuff I don’t assume somebody else stole it.
  21. We can blame it on many bumps to my noggin, but it’s not ringing a bell. It seems begging for a punch line, but it’s not familiar.
  22. They had the Golden Goose back then, but they just didn’t know how to milk it. I can see how that might have been confusing trying to milk a goose.
  23. I’m sorry I can’t help you, but every time the NFL flexes these games around I think of all the people with complications regarding flights, hotels, car rentals, etc not to mention work. I know WHY they do it, but it sure can suck for some people.
  24. Your avatar is looking lovely today. I have no idea if he has enough left to be helpful, but it’s kinda cool that the Vikes gave the long time vet what he wanted.
