Stripes Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Looks like I’ll be there. It was looking grim, but I just mildly murdered myself at work and made it happen. Stoked for the Ring of Honor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoosierCat Posted September 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Sadly I have a work thing tomorrow night. I’ll get a decent free steak out of it but will likely be awol for a lot of the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMPHAR Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 2nd market prices are climbing for this game, I’d expect the best crowd atmosphere since 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 So…random fun thing that amused me in a good way. You know how mock drafts use current standings? Matt Miller’s new mock this AM is out and we are picking…23rd. Was nice to have to scroll down for a bit to find us… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 “23. Cincinnati Bengals — OT Charles Cross, Mississippi State The Cincinnati Bengals were widely criticized for not drafting an offensive tackle in Round 1 of the 2021 NFL draft, opting instead for wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. I was not one of those critics, explaining that the Bengals could go offensive line in subsequent rounds (they did) and develop Jonah Williams (a work in progress, but improved). But let’s not get carried away, offensive line is still a need and Mississippi State’s Charles Cross fits the bill of what the Bengals could be looking for in a future right tackle.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I met Kenny Anderson just now! He came into Holy Grail which where geep and I had decided on for lunch. I got a chance to go over and thank him for the good memories growing up cheering for him and that I had flown back to cheer for him one more time. Even got to shake his hand. It was very cool and weirdly meant a lot to me. Life is strange and turning 50 has made me nostalgic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stripes Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 That's really great. It's unfortunate that it took this long to have a proper local celebration of the Kens given that the PFHOF has made it clear they don't care.

AMPHAR Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Based on the radio show last night, I think a bunch of teammates have made their way back for Kenny's and Anthony's induction. That's the hidden value in all of the ROH thing. Alumni coming back and connecting with the franchise. I think it sounded like they might be on the sidelines during the game.

Stripes Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Of tonight's inductees, the only one I was alive for was Muñoz, and just barely (born 1987). I came of age while the Bengals of the '90s and early '00s were a punchline, and didn't really take notice of professional football until 2003, immediately after Ohio State won the national championship. It was coincidence that the Marvin era began at the same time, so perhaps I was fortunate to miss the worst of the worst. Still, ever since I really took on this fascination I have explored the history of the team inside and out and developed a sort of a posteriori affection for the players, teams, and personalities of the glory years I never got to see. It was really important to me to be able to make it to the game tonight, because, other than the 50-years team thing which was minimal fanfare, this is my first opportunity to really take part in the tradition of the franchise. I was technically a living breathing being during Super Bowl XXIII, but I probably spent the whole game sitting in my own shit. I have no memory of anything pre-Jeff Blake and have forged my own delayed understanding of who the Cincinnati Bengals are and what it means to be a fan. I'm stoked to see the unveiling tonight, maybe even more than I am for the football game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMPHAR Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I believe Kenny Anderson was a Jacksonville coach at one point, I think. Anyway the best story post career was when he was QB coach here in Cincy. Akili and co. all had nagging arm soreness in camp so Kenny threw 7 on 7 etc. and it was the the best day by any QB so far in camp. Hmmmm kinda forgot Kenny won a Superbowl ring as Steelers coach on Tomlin's staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wraith Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 By almost any measurable statistic Kenny Anderson was a better QB than Terry Bradshaw. They played in the same era against largely the same competition. Terry has Kenny in TD Passes (212/197) but also threw 210 Ints to Kenny's 160. Kenny has Terry in passing yards, completion %, QB Rating, Y/A and YPC and, oh BTW Terry was working with two HOF receivers while Kenny had none. Terry was never a league MVP nor was he ever a passing leader for a season. Kenny had 4 All Pros to Terry's 3......the list goes on. Terry won the Super Bowls had the wins but let's face it he was also playing on the greatest team of all time....as a player, Kenny was better than Terry. If Terry is a Hall of Famer then Kenny was too...full stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 Good time to resurrect Kerry Byrne's HOF case for Kenny Anderson: https://www.si.com/more-sports/2011/06/08/ken-anderson Unfortunately this was 10 years ago. Making people give a shit has proven to be an impossible task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
