Too easy.

This eagles rams game is seriously old school

Refs on the take

Missed xp ugh

Love seeing Mahomes get his ass kicked

Horse shit call

Reports are he’s considering retirement. Good for him he deserves a beach somewhere.

The problem is that the Bengals are in a rare, and possibly unique in franchise history, position -- and they don't appear interested in taking advantage of it. They have the most desirable open coordinator spot in the league. I can't think of a time that's ever been the case before. Usually, quality coaching candidates have no interest in Cincinnati. But right now, everyone wants a piece of that Burrow magic. Is Golden a great candidate? Absolutely. But why not take advantage of the opportunity and broaden your search? There are lots of great candidates out there. Talk to them. You might find someone you like even more. But apparently, no. The Bengals just did the minimum interviews they needed to do to satisfy the Rooney Rule, and are now sitting on their hands until next Tuesday.

Yeah, I’m thinking they want Golden. If so we’ll find out next week.

Ok so props to the Ravens FO. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/diontae-johnson-claimed-former-pro-bowl-wr-returns-to-a-team-he-played-for-this-season-but-theres-a-catch/

CJ nabs an interview with Zimmer. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2025/1/15/24344046/mike-zimmer-cincinnati-bengals-defensive-coordinator-search-cowboys Bengals haven’t contacted him but he’s open to coming back. Loves the organization. Has offered to help with their search. Cincy and Dallas are his preferred spots if he were to continue coaching.

He wasn’t. After finishing with the Chargers in 2023, he was on his couch until the Pats signed him to their taxi squad last month. Obviously that gig came to a close once the regular season was over. Now he’s caught on in Houston thanks to Johnson getting waived and a hole opening up on the Texans’ PS after they bumped Wayne up to take his spot. Probably won’t see the field but might get a free trip to the Super Bowl out of it…

Same name, different guy. Google even tells me he’s still among us at 93.

A couple summers back I opened my front door to grab a package off the porch and found it sitting next to a big assed snapping turtle, like a good 12 inches in diameter if not a bit more. Decided the package could wait.

Dunno about Cioffi but Duffner is 71. He might just want to spend more time on a beach somewhere.

Congrats DC fans.

Finally a good game

When I talk about how watching our offense is like pulling teeth, that td pass is the exact opposite of what I’m talking about. We need to make defenses fear us. We are going to hit our best receiver in the end zone and there nothing you can do to stop us. We 100 percent have the talent to do that but for some reason we struggle. Bengals need to find that killer instinct.
