Looks like they gave all tickets away at this point. If you subscribe to Goodberry, he’s going to be giving tickets away.

No worries about him not taking visits. Teams know what he brings. Hoping teams have issue with his size and he drops to us in the 2nd. Not expecting that, but that would be awesome !!

Now you are just getting greedy, but I can get behind that one.

Goes to show just how hard it is to get quality o-linemen in the NFL.

Well look at that. The Reds resigning a pitcher, as opposed to trading him for a half eaten Snicker's bar and some steel wool. Glad Hunter Greene will be sticking around. Now all the 10's of 100's in attendance will be able to witness at least one capable pitcher.

Not sure why I read that as, "Then Who Will Feed Russell Crowe?"... Seemed like an odd question. I thought maybe there was another Weevil joke in there somewhere.

Look, if the light came on for Carman, then great. Put me in the "Believe it when I see it" camp. Hoping for good things from him, but still thinking he can go fuck himself.

Gold Star out and Skyline in. Not really a fan of Gold Star anyway, but whatever. Skyline is dominating in the Cincinnati sports arena huh? Bengals, Reds and FC Cincinnati. Good for them.

Nope, don't think so either. Just saying. My gut tells me they stick with what they have and maybe address OT later. Then again, my gut has been calling for Fudge Stripes cookies. I think that's different though.

What happens at RT is the big question I have going into the draft. Do they talk Jonah into stop being a 14 year old girl? Do they trade Jonah? Do they roll with one of the multiple turds in the RT mix currently on the roster? Do they draft a RT in the first round? I think answering the RT question allows for a better understanding of what they will do in the draft.

Just an FYI... I don't pick up the dogshit in my front yard. If you bring Jennifer Connelly (Dr. Chiren) I will clean it up. Outside of that, I started to lose hearing due to firing my weapon without hearing protection. Who knew you couldn't call a time out in war when getting shot at to apply proper hearing protection? "Ok, I'm good. Game on !!"

So, if I'm hearing you correctly, the Bengals are going to pay Mixon 12.7 million in 2023 ??

Nice to see that breakdown for Hurts' contract and certainly makes me feel better about the cap hits. I'm sure the Bengals are looking at all of that as well. Just need to hang tight and let them get it done. Hoping for sooner rather than later, so they can start working on the many more needing to get wrapped up. I'm still in shock a little in them signing Orlando Brown despite all others needing to get done. So not something the older version of the Bengals would have tried to get fit in. LOVE IT !!

That draft through 3, while fine, would not move the needled much for me. That would be the first time I've seen Brents name higher than the 3rd round and mostly later. I don't have any issues with him, but at 28? Not really interested. Isn't Bergeron a LT? Looks like he's had a handful of starts at RT, but mostly a LT. Pinning the hopes of him becoming the day 1 starter at RT is probably no better than any of the other guys currently on the roster, so I will pass on him. So to now they have reached for a guy and taken a LT with the hopes of him competing for the RT spot. How do they follow that up? Of course with a pick that has zero chance of starting in 2023 and probably not seeing the field much at all. While coming off an injury, the Bengals did take Tycen Anderson last year and the coaches were really high on him. This draft would not give me much to smile about and, as always, needing to answer the, "Who else was on the board?" question. Suck it McShay...

No shocker with Collins, as I wouldn't be surprised to see him miss almost the entire regular season.

My thoughts exactly. I'm interested to see how much difference there is in guaranteed coin for these QB deals coming.

Seriously?

Awuzie at 100% will make me feel very good about the secondary. Not so good I wouldn't use a high round selection on a CB, but still...

I won’t have any heartburn no matter where they take a TE. The difference obviously is having that first round guy carry the 5th year option. CB, OT, or TE would all work for me and even a DT if Kancey were to be there.

In a side note for locals… https://www.eventbrite.com/e/first-star-logistics-annual-bengals-draft-party-tickets-602844964517 Lapham62 is the access code for anyone interested. Free tickets. ArmyBengal Jr. and I are headed down.

Ok, here we are a couple weeks out. I would love Darnell Wright or Calijah Kancey in the first. If I was going to take a guess at what I think will happen, I will go with them taking TE Darnell Wright. The guy is like another lineman with his string AF blocking skill set , which they need, and a good pass catcher that happens to be a 6’7 red zone nightmare. Couple that with the loss of Perrine, who was their best blocking back, and it’s not hard to see. Want another reason?? He was number 0 in college and could be the first with that number here. That last part was a joke of course, but still true.

No interest from other teams, should equal lower salary for us. Haven’t seen anything yet though.

I like Turner at the CB spot. No issues there. I’m still not sold on a nearly 380 OT. Being a Buckeye fan I would be happy to root for him assuming he doesn’t get Burrow killed.

No objection. Hated the pick at that time and it’s not he’s lived up to that, but that’s neither here nor there at this point.

Yes, my son. The draft will get here. Now go say 10 Hail Mary's and stop playing with yourself so much.
