Week 8 - Bucs Talk


AMPHAR

Recommended Posts

I thought about giving it a go, but my last post was a little on the hostile side and I didn't want to bring that here.

Agree that the Bengals probably get back to the way of winning here.
I'm trying to be positive, but if we are being honest with ourselves, does it really matter in the grand scheme ??
Even though I will continue to root for them, I don't think this team is doing anything or going anywhere.

Well, unless you count going through the motions and nowhere as acceptable answers...

Bengals- 27
Bucs- 20

Would be nice to see a win.  Marvin is so finished that it’s hard to get excited about anything this team is doing.  Mike didn’t exactly look like a dynamo of action when they showed him in the tube last night.  

So clear to me now that for Mike the measure of success is revealed in a series of spreadsheets he reviews every week.  It’s a viable business, nothing more, nothing less.  What, really, is “winning” for Mike and Marvin?

Bengals will win this Sunday.  And who gives a shit?

I laughed out loud when I read this because it is my sentiment exactly.
Who cares ??  It won't matter one way or another.

After that KC game, I just don't have the energy to care enough.
I have other things to do that will bear more fruit for me.

Watching porn, scratching my balls, taking a long nap.
You know....  Things that bring joy to life.

The Bucs game will be a success if they have the little monkeys dressed up as cowboys riding around on dogs at halftime.  Anything less than that - FAIL.

I would prefer a Pirates of the Caribbean themed  monkeys with pirate swords with the  dogs dressed up as pirate ships.  

Then Who Dey mascot dressed up as the Kracken chasing them.

I think the Bengals will take this one vs the Fuckneers, although I expect another dismal outing from our woe-line.

Get me to the bye ahead of the Steelers in the AFCN and I'll be happy enough I suppose.

 

PS - I've heard that David McCallum will be acting again, this time as the Bengals Pass Rush

Memo

From: Mike Brown

To: Marvin Lewis

Marvin, just wanted to let you know that we've received the various emails and communique' you have transmitted regarding the halftime Monkey Rodeo we employ every year.

The feelings you and your wife have expressed, that the show is nothing more than animal abuse and should be stopped, is not shared by myself or me or Mike Brown (I).

You are correct that the show, in its simplest recitation, could be described as stuffing a few Capuchin monkeys in little western outfits, strapping them to the backs of border collies, and sending them on a terrifying, helter skelter ride at speeds up to 30 miles per hour, all in front of a screaming horde of half intoxicated NFL fans.  I give you all that.  But so what?  It's well received by those fans.    

I investigated your claim regarding Tim Lepard, the man that brings the monkey rodeo to Cincinnati every year.  And you are correct, his show's other engagements consist of very low level minor league baseball games, county fairs, and yes, unfortunately, a good number of motorcycle rallies.  Marvin, let me point out to you the clientele at those affairs are the same subset of the population that comes to our stadium.  You know I share your utter contempt for most of the drunken cretins that attend our games.  We're staging nothing more than a modern-day gladiator battle out there every other Sunday, complete with broken bones, maimings, and blood lust.  Who do you think we're attracting?  This type of low-brow, dimwitted monkey show is right on their level.  It's kind of our way of saying, "Hey look, drunken clerk from the car parts store, monkeys in cowboy outfits riding on dogs!"  Come to think of it, it's not our way of paraphrasing that.  That's exactly what we're saying!  

Your point that we are "cheaping out" on the halftime show, just because the Rams are staging halftime concerts with the latest Instagram L.A. pop starlet, and the Browns are leaning on the Cleveland Rock and Roll angle to stage heavy acid rock freak-outs at halftime, is not well received here in the upstairs suites at Paul Brown Stadium.  By God, if it's good enough for the Wilmington Blue Rocks and the Erie Seawolves, it's good enough for the Cincinnati Bengals! 

And I checked, although it doesn't matter in the least, you are correct in that we spend about a tenth of what other NFL franchises spend on halftime entertainment.  So what?  At least we're spending something.  Keep complaining Marvin, do you really want to see my next move?  Because we'll go back to a rousing show from the Elder High School Marching Band, followed by a swearing in ceremony for the local crop of ROTC candidates.  God bless America!  Think our fans won't eat that up with a spoon?  Damn right they will.

Thanks,

Mike 

PS - Good try there on Sunday night, thought we had a chance for a while.  Keep up the good work.
