Low Positive

Snider no longer owns a team.

That is a very different ranking than the consensus on TBD. It has Coleman ranked two rounds higher than Leggett. It also has Roman Wilson ranked higher than all of the late first guys we have been obsessing over for three months.

Big Night is a great film. My wife and I went to the premiere at SUNY Albany. Stanley Tucci spoke and took questions.

That's a serious place. I would get the Ossobuco Alla Milanese myself.

He's giving teams Tom Brady vibes. That's the only explanation.

I don't think so. People requesting trades from the Bengals used to be an almost yearly occurrence and Mike Brown always tells them that they signed the contract and now they will play under it until it is over. Renegotiating contracts before they are over is something that he doesn't do. That's why I was surprised when they extended Burrow before they absolutely had to. Remember, Carson Palmer asked for trades for two straight years before he finally took the step of actually holding out. It still took them almost an entire season to finally back down and move him. In the case of Mike Bown, it is partially a belief in strict adherence to the salary cap system that the small market clubs fought for but mostly a lack of liquidity.

Drinking bourbon and taking naps on his porch somewhere in rural Alabama?

Not until Chase or Burrow demands a trade.

I've been telling you guys for a long time that even though Burrow and Zac Taylor have been trying to build a culture in Cincinnati, Mike Brown is still the owner. They pay cash to the cap, so no one except Burrow and Chase are going to get paid. That being said, they will tell Hendrickson and Higgins to pound sand and make them play out the year. You can bank on that, so for at least one more year the Bengals are serious contenders.

Now you got me looking. I just looked at the Browns and Bengals 2003 rosters and they had no white CBs that started a game while Sehorn started 3 games for the Rams in 2003. I'm an academic librarian by trade and I am treating this like a reference question from a grad student. I will find this information.

I've got it bookmarked. I'm just happy that chose to yell at the TV instead of posting.

Pretty soon, teams won't be able to afford vet QBs once their franchise WR is off of his rookie contract.

In my experience, the worst part is the laxative that you have to take the night before the prep day. Also, drink lots of chicken broth; it feels like real food.
