I am about to start doing that as well Hoosier. We just got back from a week in Florida hanging out in the warm sunshine and I’m not really feeling it, but I will feel better when it’s done. There’s not much intrigue about the playoffs outside the Texans for me. I have a buddy that’s a Bears fan and it’s interesting seeing this Patriots team do so well. Besides that I don’t care about the games for the most part. Rams vs Panthers? Boring…

“Hookers and Blow” and shhhhhh…

I can think of a billion reasons to crush that.

Thankfully I’m old enough to not give a shit. That and he may be right…

Pumpkins need lovin’ too !!

I remember thinking it was cool that Duke Tobin lived up the road not far. Ah the good old days.

Big time move by a big time organization. Yeah, I just feel like piling on…

Wake me when August gets here. I think that way I will be less irritated.

Yes agree wholeheartedly !!

Ok that

I don’t really care if other teams hires anyone away from us. Who cares?

Classic Bang cartoons !!

Truth be told, O-line is not a concern as long as Risner is brought back. Brown, Fairchild, Karras, Risner and Mims were a top 10 O-line for the season. Depth? Sure, but not before defensive needs are hit, hit and hit again.

I don’t expect Downs to be there at 10 either but I can hope. He’s been my guy to pimp for a while now. Get an impact CB in the 2nd and a front 4 guy with pass rushing chops in the 3rd. Unless they bring in a free agent, then feel free to change it up.

Just call it every position on the defensive side of the ball and that encapsulates my free agency and draft wishes. DT, DE, LB, CB, Safety Yes, yes, yes, yes and yes. They could use players at each of those spots. I would rather a couple of veteran free agents brought in as to not have so many rookies, but that seems to be what we will see more than not.

Lamar Parrish being an afterthought saddens me deeply. Every other CB in history with at least 8 pro bowls is already in the Hall of Fame.

Remember conversation here commenting on the franchise being “ancient” in their ways? Yes, yes and yes. This franchise can’t see the forest for the trees.

Dude I’m all about my Buckeyes but if they take McDonald at #10 my TV will NOT survive the day. 2nd round? Absolutely.

Thank you Ted Karras, but buh bye. Give me Linderbaum at Center while hurting a division rival and that would be pleasant to me. After that, it’s slim pickin’s. Better off looking at trades.

Oh I wear my Stroud jersey proudly. My Texans gear rivals my Bengals gear. It hasn’t always been roses being a fan of the Texans either, but they seem to try. There’s a lot to be said for that.

You want further proof that someone is full of shit? Look at Ja’Marr’s comments when asked about Coach Taylor’s post game comments. Dude said he doesn’t even know what that means and told them to keep asking him those questions. My guess? Someone is asking for a trade before their contract is up. Now I’m just waiting for the comments that everything is going to be just fine for 2026. Hard to paint all this with feel good thoughts.

Joe Burrow is full of shit

Thank you Bengals for losing a game that no one cares about or will remember in another month. Top 10 pick is good by me. WARNING: Do not make the mistake of putting any stock in how good any Bengals player did over these last three games against shit bag teams that had no meaning. If they balled out… meaningless. Please do not think that will carry over into 2026. Burrow sucked, the team sucked, the coaches sucked, fire everyone !! We all know none of that is happening and exactly why Burrow isn’t going anywhere. You can’t on one hand say things need to change and then advocate for Zac Taylor to return as the head coach. Either Joe is dumb or he’s full of shit. Either way it doesn’t give me much faith in what 2026 holds for this shit bag franchise. God hates all of us.

Nothing would please me more than a big fat letdown of a loss today. Go Texans !!

There's a lot of talk (I am convinced that's all it is) about what it would take to pry Burrow away from the Bengals. I have to admit, that while I really don't want to see Burrow leave, the thoughts are intriguing. Especially considering that I don't think the defense is going to improve sooner rather than later. I'm not planning on checking PFT or some site and seeing Burrow traded, but it's an interesting thought to ponder. The whole, "what if" aspect.
