Makes you wonder if they will grant players, who might have needed this season, another year of eligibility? Subsequently I wonder about the impact to the NFL draft. For teams in rebuild mode, that scenario would be problematic.

Again, hoping and praying for the football season to go off, even with little to no fans. However, the amount of contact and closeness of the players is vastly different than the other sports and their participants. Looking at the current outbreaks among college programs like Ohio State and North Carolina are more of what I would expect at the pro level. I just don't see how they stop the spread of the virus in those close quarters and I fear the impact would be massive for a team that is forced to quarantine players that test positive. Could you imagine a miracle season where we make it to the Super Bowl and Burrow is leading the charge, only to test positive the night before the game ?? Finley would then be the starter and there goes most any chance of winning that game. Worst case scenario ?? Sure, but completely feasible.

So AJ Green. They have 6 more days to work a long term deal out with him. I haven't seen much new concerning an extension and at this point am not expecting one. I would rather see him continue his time here in Cincinnati with Burrow beyond 2020, but I get the reason he gives the team pause.

I appreciate you keeping the home fires burning AMPHAR !!! Wish I shared your positivity...

I had forgotten that it kept track of those things. Early on in this board's history, we use to make a pretty big deal of those milestones. Fast forward 16 years and I had completely forgotten about it. Had I been thinking, I would have had something more positive to say. Makes me feel old thinking about being in my 30's and single when I started posting here. Now 50, married, 2 kids and retired from the Army, while working on another career. I love this board !!! Thanks Hoosier...

Been saying it for a while now... This season is not looking good.

Well if Ross stinks up the place, my next plan will be for Myles Brennan (LSU QB) to suck in 2020 and in turn his WR's don't have the stellar season they did last year with Burrow. Ja'Marr Chase will still go top 10, but maybe Terrace Marshall Jr. won't require a 1st or 2nd round pick.

Speaking of losing weight, my primary care recently pointed out my weight gain over the past handful of years. I told her after a career in the Army, I stopped exercising and bought a house at the corner of "Fat and Happy". She laughed for a minute and plainly told me she thinks I need to move. WTF ?!?!

So... thinking John Ross again for some reason. We know they didn't pick up his option and I think everyone is rightly concerned about his injury history. That being the case, I started thinking about what 2021 holds for the WR position. It would be great to see them couple Burrow back up with Ja'Marr Chase, but not at the cost of a top 10 pick which is where Chase will go. I took a look at the highlights from Burrow and Chase from last year and as I was watching thought, that dude looks like John Ross in his highlights. Immediately I wondered if having a stronger armed QB in Burrow might have a positive impact on the speedy Ross ?? Chase is 6'1, 200lbs, with Ross at 5'11, 195lbs and both relying on speed and quickness. Maybe i'm just hopeful in seeing what a QB with the skill set of Burrow does for the rest of the offensive unit. For everyone bagging on his arm strength, I have watched many throws of his travel 50 yards and be on the money. The game against Texas A&M saw exactly that. A perfect 50 yard heave for a TD to Chase. Beautiful. If there is no football in 2020, I'll swear that God hates the Bengals.

I don't often go down the Twitter rabbit hole however, the information provided is interesting. I think I clicked on a response and it took me into a conversation about all the "wrong" going on in this country. It was depressing as I only read about 5-6 comments to see how completely uneducated some people are. I don't mean, I have a degree educated, but rather common sense type issues that the average person should be aware of. I don't want to get into any specifics, but I am saddened with people arguing about things they clearly have no knowledge about whatsoever. THIS is exactly why I have no social media presence. The closest I come to it is posting here. After reading those comments, i'm pretty sure my life is better for that decision.

The devil is in the details, as the saying goes. Good for Mahomes, but something tells me it’s not what it’s being touted. Why tie yourself to a team for 10-12 years? If he does continue to play as he has, I’m curious how much time goes by before that contract underpays him? Again, good for him though...

Oh my God, I’m laughing so hard. I need to watch that whole movie again !!!

To follow: ”You’re not a doctor, you’re a big , fat, curly headed fuck.” Priceless !!!

No two ways about it. So many lines in that one. One of my personal favorites: https://youtu.be/Tibdx2baMJ8
