  • Time for my weekly talk to myself Bengals post. 

    I've never been anti-Dalton. I'm not a huge fan, but I think on the list of things terribly wrong with this organization, I'd rank him behind Marvin Lewis (not the case anymore, obviously), Mike Brown, shitty offensive line, and weak/slow linebackers. But I reached the point today where he needs to fuck off already and it's time to find someone else. Too many times victory has been right there for the snatching and he cannot come through. FFS they had a chance today but he sailed a slant pass to Auden Tate (who is 6'5"!) and it was picked and game over. His nickname should literally be "eh" or "underwhelming." He's not going to go out and win games himself. He'll win games sure, assuming: A) AJ Green is playing, B) The offensive line is decent, C) It's a Sunday afternoon game, D) The other team isn't that good. They'll likely pick in the top 3-4 next April and for the love of God can it be a new QB. 

    TL;DR: Obvious Dalton sucks post is obvious.

    My local Costco has a 4 pack of Pumking for $12. Is that a good price? Haven’t had it in years.

    Yeah. I think it’s usually $14 or 15

  • What does nitro do to a beer? I tried the Nitro Pumking tonight and couldn’t tell much of a difference?

    Keeping the elite QB's upright is good for the game...regardless of people saying "flag football." Serious question, does anyone want to see consistent Gardner Minshew vs Case Keenum matchups, week in and week out? I know it seems like the game has been wussified but great QB's get viewers and fans in the seats.

    I agree with you. My point was let's stop wasting time trying to explain why clean hits are being called foul and just call it what it is. You're right, no one wants to see Matt Barkley, Hoyer, Henne, Gabbert, etc. Minshew and a few others I'd give a pass to because we don't know that they for sure suck yet.

    Half way thru the limited series Unbelievable on Netflix and it's outstanding.  2 things... 1) The first episode is a bit tough to get thru because of the subject matter.  2) This series should be required viewing for law enforcement.

    Watched the first couple of episodes last night. I didn't think the second episode was any easier than the first but will keep watching. 

    I'm also on the Succession train. Think I'm on S1E5 right now.

  • When I was new to driving, I didn't know about the annual license tag renewal. So I drove around for about ten months with expired tags. I was finally caught driving home from my girlfriends house at like 2am. Pulled over, got a ticket, told me to fix it and send in proof of insurance when I mail in my ticket payment (I couldn't find my insurance card at the time) and that was that. This was about 15 miles from my house. So I'm driving home and another cop starts following me closer to my house til I'm about a mile from home then he proceeds to pull me over. He says weren't you just pulled over for expired tags, which I was, and then asks why I'm still driving the car then. The first cop didn't tell me not to drive it home. It was 2am, what the fuck was I going to do? But this cop makes me call my dad to come pick me up and don't move the car until tomorrow when the tag had been fixed. Fucking slow ass night in Miami county.

  • Bengals lose by 30 and look hopeless, last in my work weekly pick 'em, my fantasy team might lose barring Landry has a good game tomorrow night. Let me bottle this up for July of next year when I'm bored and missing football. "Hey don't miss it too much. Your favorite team sucks and so do your guesses."

    Do we really care about the US team? I’ve never cared one bit outside of the Olympics

    Agreed. The NBA players don't GAF clearly. It's great for the young guys like Mitchell, Turner, and essentially the entire Celtics starting line-up to get some extra training with a phenomenal coaching staff. But I don't think Mitchell/Walker ever simultaneously had good games except for maybe the first one. Tatum was hurt, the bench consisted of Lopez, Marcus Smart, Derrick White, and one of the Plumlee brothers FFS.

    Don’t go into the stands if you are the road team – period!  No road player should ever go into the stands in any sport – period!  That is inciting a fight; it is 100% the player’s fault.  Stop defending irresponsibility.

    Me: Maybe a grown man shouldn't always be pouring beer onto another grown man. The NFL seems to agree...?
    You: Stop defending irresponsibility!

    lol shut the fuck up. Also spare me the "going into the stands" garbage. They hop onto the wall, the people in the front row have to stand-up/lean over to slap them on the pads/helmet. This isn't Ron Artest going ten rows deep throwing punches.

    Naw, fuck him.  You're opening yourself up to this shit if you are doing this at an opposing stadium.

    Idk, times might be changing with what you can get away with. If players cry foul - and I don't necessarily support them doing that - but if they do, I wonder if the NFL might start cracking down.

    I don’t know how it works. Was it definitely Titans players reporting it or could basically any player report it (like saw it while watching game on tv)?

    Logan Ryan was tweeting about it and called out the NFL and NFLPA. People were trying to say they jumped into the stands to celebrate with Titans fan(s) but the angle of it makes it hard to tell. Either way, I don't think it warrants having beer dumped on you. Plus if you watch the clip it looked some fuckhead off to the side trying to sneakily shake his Bud Lite bottle onto the players. I would typically agree with BR that jumping into the dawgpound is at your own risk, but this time the guy looked some like asshole to me.

    I watched a football game in the evening that lasted about 200 minutes....I made 7 posts. My bad I guess. I’ll cut it back for the sake of the site.

    I enjoyed your posts :-)
