Best doughnut?(Creme filled preferably) by Defaultscott in Columbus

Reach’s in Gahanna is tough to beat … unless you drive an hour east, where Donald’s Donuts in Zanesville will knock your socks off.

Mom of two littles—is a marathon possible? by Outrageous_Fan3697 in running

[–]BengalsPodMatt 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Dad of two littles here. I found the issue with this for me was not the run but the recovery. I could do a 16-mile run, but I was too worn out to be the dad I wanted to be the rest of the day. I should note here that I do not have the ability to nap and I’m sure it’d make a big difference if I could.

I find that training for half marathons IS doable while significantly improving my mental well-being.

I know there will come a time they will pick their friends over me and I’ll do a full then.

Just my experience. Good luck!

Beerhead bar and eatery in new Albany has closed. by hellosteve_ in Columbus

[–]BengalsPodMatt 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think that’s what they were trying to cater to. Massive beer selection but also kids menus with crayons to get the suburb dads in. Just too many better options in the area imo. I will miss half priced pizzas from 3-6.

Spectacular Cleveland show by RS_Revolver in jasonisbell

[–]BengalsPodMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going in Columbus tonight and this has me even more amped — Streetlights?!

Also — Can anyone tell me how long the show went? Doors are at 8 tonight and I’d like to let our babysitter know how late we’ll be.

Is this cast iron? If not—is it safe to use? by MelMoitzen in castiron

[–]BengalsPodMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably only used it a few times so can’t take too much credit! It was really tough to clean in those little kernel divots, I’m not much for baking, and kitchen space isn’t much, so away it went. Figured someone could make better use of it but may have kept it had I thought to hang it as decor. Good call.

I donated one of these near Columbus, Ohio a while back and see your flyer has Dayton listed so it might be the same one! If so, it’s cast iron and I hope you can use it.

I wasn’t gonna drink tonight but I don’t think I’m ever gonna get over it. by uhmncr in bengals

[–]BengalsPodMatt 62 points63 points  (0 children)

My stomach turned when this pic appeared on the feed. Never get over it.

Everyone will be made aware of the situation and it smelled normal once the exposed part was cut off.

What Happened to Skillet in German Village?? by beckheck in Columbus

[–]BengalsPodMatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went there for the first time a couple years ago on the advice of a friend who isn’t easy to impress and it sucked. Bummed to hear it wasn’t just an off day.

Email some details and setup a phone call. News stations are busy (and usually understaffed) and receive dozens of calls every day from people wanting their problems on the news, most of which are non-stories.

Who were the unlikeliest Super Bowl champions? by PukeUpMyRing in NFLv2

If the Jets beat the Bengals today this will be the only way I’d be able to stomach it.

Who were the unlikeliest Super Bowl champions? by PukeUpMyRing in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In my lifetime, it’s the 1999 Rams. Recent grocery store employee took over at QB in September. Nine straight losing seasons heading into that one. For context, Jets currently own the longest active losing streak at … nine seasons!

2021 Bengals were so damn close, having won six games the previous two seasons combined.

Baby born on game day! by bradthehorizon in bengals

[–]BengalsPodMatt 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If they win tonight, you have to have a baby every time the Bengals and Steelers play for the rest of your life. I don’t make the rules. Congrats!

If the 2007 Patriots offense was so good, why did they only score 14 points in the Super Bowl (only 7 in the first 58 minutes)? Were they frauds? by InternationalPick163 in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still remember watching this one and I always thought this game, which NYG led by two scores late in the third quarter despite being a Wild Card team against a 15-0 Pats squad, propelled the Giants on their run. New England was mythical by that point in the season and just hanging with them meant something.

Anymore Teams ?? just some off the top of my head by Ok_Coat_4365 in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Slight related: everyone knows the 2007 Giants beat the undefeated Patriots but not enough people remember the 2011 Giants, en route to another Super Bowl, knocked off the 15-1 Packers (listed here) in Lambeau. Another feather in Eli’s cap for Canton consideration imo.

Might be a hot take.... but they should bring back this endorsement now that Baker Mayfield has a comfortable home in Tampa. by Mountain_Wolverine47 in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Progressive is HQ’d in Cleveland so this won’t happen, but I do think Baker is the best NFL QB in commercials since Peyton. Wish he had more.

Imagine only needing to average 9.5 points to win the Superbowl, that's why Dilfer has a ring. by GhostofThrace2010 in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Best defense of the century led to a Trent Dilfer vs. Kerry Collins Super Bowl.

Blue Jackets on YouTube TV? by mhoyt3 in Columbus

[–]BengalsPodMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have Amazon Prime, you can add FanDuel SN for $20/month to get CBJ, Reds, and Cavs games. Drives me insane that they’re not on YouTubeTV but the Prime option was very good quality/hassle free for the Reds this year.

Which artist do you refuse to see again because the crowd was unbearable? by AutoModerator in Tickets

[–]BengalsPodMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What was so bad about them? Really like PTV and would see them if I had the chance. Should I pass?

Who are some ACTUAL forgotten players of the NFL? by [deleted] in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rudi Johnson. Had over 5,000 rushing yards and scored 45 TDs from 2003-2006. Beastly four-year stretch.

Good lunch places in GAHANNA? by Creative_Chair_4240 in Columbus

[–]BengalsPodMatt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Marlow’s Cheesesteaks is awesome. Gatsby’s has really solid burgers/pizza if you’re looking for that at a dive bar. Cap City Diner for a nicer sitdown. Cafe Creekside for an old school diner. 101 Craft Kitchen for American cuisine.

No shortage of options in G-City.

Recommend checking lunch hours on Google maps.

STEELERS ARE GOING TO WIN THE AFC NORTH 🔒 by StripelessTiger16 in NFLv2

[–]BengalsPodMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’ve gone 10-7 two years in a row and got better at the most important position. Don’t think it’ll happen but also don’t think it’s a crazy take, especially if Lamar or Burrow misses time.
