Myles “Froot Loops” Murphy should have his option picked up for no other reasons than… we need his average ass and that’s not expensive. Hes not good.

There are better ways to spend that money than on Trey. Besides those core vaginal muscle injuries take time to heal up properly.

Tag Trey and give him more than $30 million, knowing it's going to make things stupid? Yeah, that's a no for me. Can't fathom there being any type of good to come from that. Tag and trade? Don't see that happening either. For one, he would need to sign the deal. That guarantees it for 2026 and I'm not sure a team would pay him more than $30m. Even if they gave him a new deal, that money for 2026 is locked in. While I think teams would be interested in Trey, I don't think they want to pay him like that. Especially when considering he's coming off an injury and turns 32 this year. The Bengals just don't give the impression they could pull that off. That would register as the most shocking Bengals thing ever.

Yep, on to 2026. Bring on free agency and the draft !! Please Bengals, give me a reason to be thrilled about the 2026 season.

Speaking of which, Jason Myers got screwed. Should have been the MVP of the Super Bowl. But can't have a kicker earn that honor. Kick 5 FG's, setting the record for FG's in a Super Bowl? Nope. Carry the team on your back, accounting for all scoring until the 4th quarter? Nope. Solely accounted for 17 of the 29 points scored in the whole game? Nope. Let's give it to the RB who, while running for 135 yards, didn't score a single point or break a record. Sounds reasonable. Personally, I think they should be able to give the award to a whole unit, like the Seahawks defense. However, Myers got shafted. No two ways about it. I'm sure he's happy they won, but somewhere in the back of his head, you know he's thinking to himself... WHAT THE FUCK !?!?

Side note, one of my military buddies hit me up right before the game and said... "New England is going to mop up tonight" and then follows that with... "I'll take them and the loser has to buy two tickets to a Bengals game of the winner's choice". I wasn't planning on going to any games next season, but free is free. Narrowed it to the Chiefs or the Bucs. Not sure yet and may wait to see how things go. Winner = this guy

When I was in the Army, playing Spades was taken pretty seriously and the shit talk was constant. One thing that always amused me was when I heard someone ask... "Do you play Spades, or are you a Spades PLAYER?" That's how I view Houston's and Seattle's defense compared to the Bengals.

I made these jalapeño poppers that had cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese and fried pork sausage with a bacon wrap. Fucking amazing !!

Delane has always been one of those guys on my list of players I would be good seeing the Bengals draft. Of the players I could see being there at 10, he’s probably my #2 behind Caleb. Woods? Yeah if he fell to the 2nd. There isn’t much about what I’ve watched when Clemson plays to suggest he’s a top 10 pick despite what others say.

Priceless I never cared for Schwartz as a head coach, but he's an above average coordinator.

I get the premise of why they and any other team might not want to do that. Even if they could get Crosby for this year's and next year's first round picks, that's two first rounders on rookie deals for at least the next 4 years, while paying one player who's going to be 29 this year a fuck ton of money for the next 3 years. The money isn't my biggest concern, as they were willing to pay Trey $30m+ per season so that's a trade off. However, it's about really pushing things to try to win it all. Taking risks. Hang your balls out there. The Bengals won't do that. I don't think their balls ever dropped to take the risk of hanging them out there.

Honestly, I don't know anything about the halftime show this year, except some people are upset by it. I don't know any of the songs or care about entertainers thoughts on any matters. Sing your songs, entertain, hope everyone enjoys it and move the fuck on. I'm here for the football.

Nailed it... We should all just move on from this. Kenny is never getting in. One of the larger snubs from the Hall of Fame. Agree with all of you. It was this year or never. Sorry Kenny, you will always be one of the all time greats to me !! I appreciate him even greater for what he's done since his football career ended. Just an all around good person.

Man, that's a lot of shit. Nothing I'm interested in however. I would bid on Mike's old desk for no other reason than to periodically take a shit on it. Other than that, it's a no for me.
