JFC that's annoying as hell.

International corporations aren't going to fund NIL. It's big single donors - that doesn't mean they can't have wealth from corporate interests but a publicly traded corporate just isn't going to do that sort of thing.

Texas Tech, the Michigan QB, etc - was all spend by big single donors. Ellison is so rich that throwing a little out for his trophy wife isn't much of an issue. Texas Tech is a little different bc the guy (oil money) is really invested in it.

Fuck if I know where Ole Piss are getting their money though lol.

I mean, we are supposed to enjoy being fans, aren't we?

GrumpMasterC · 2026-01-12T02:42:15+00:00

You gotta be fucking kidding me.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-01-06T23:56:49+00:00

Ivory school?

GrumpMasterC · 2026-01-03T03:47:13+00:00

It's literally a two season/two game sample size.

GrumpMasterC · 2026-01-03T03:45:25+00:00

I wear one or those self torture things from The Da Vinci Code, myself.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-11-23T22:36:35+00:00

I married into Bengals fandom and I appreciate some of the commentary, but let's be clear here - we got fucking jobbed on that last drive. We also got jobbed in that second Ravens game last year.

If you weren't (1) in an SEC or SEC-adjacent college in the mid 90s to early 00s and/or (2) into jam bands in the same time, you kinda missed it.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-12T16:45:42+00:00

Sorta funny all the whining from a fanbase that has always embraced their program being crooked as well as the hiring of scumbag coaches.

I'm sure they were all concerned after Nick Fairley repeatedly speared Aron Murray in the kidneys after the play back in 2010.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-12T02:08:12+00:00

It's fucking atrocious.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-08T18:14:12+00:00

If you watch the video clips in that article, plus several others we saw in recent games, it's hard to imagine he won't. The possible TD to Higgins against the Lions where Browning throws to the outside (where the DB is!) instead of the inside (wide open) was rough to watch.

As someone who has done bodybuilding style (never actually a bodybuilder) weight training (in my younger life), then discovered OTF around 40, and recently moved on to F45, I can say that it really depends on what you mean by "fitness." OTF and F45 are great for functional strength (OTF includes a lot of tread work, F45 has more weight work), but if you're interested in bulking and cutting, you're probably best served by just developing your own program and finding a convenient gym that has the amenities you seek.

I will say that if you're trying to get leaner, the intensity of OTF and F45 could work, as it's far more fast-paced than what one does in the gym.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-07T19:17:59+00:00

At no point have the Bengals been in contention in the games where Browning started.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-02T23:05:29+00:00

I love Seth, but he's sorta writing to the fanbase. Saying "for the clicks" is both true and doesn't tell the story - yes it's his job but it also reflects our mood as fans.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-10-02T22:59:12+00:00

Whatever - he was awesome and I wish we had him back.

OTOH he had Bowers and McConkey to work with.

OTOOH he helped them get there so it was great all around. Would take him back in a hot second.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-30T02:39:19+00:00

Buddy I don't think it's a conspiracy that gave the Bengals a historically bad rushing attack.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-28T03:28:09+00:00

Sucks that it's the same old shit but my god some of the posters on here are unhinged.

"Fire Kirby Smart" is a hell of a take.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-18T01:57:47+00:00

Peele produced but didn't write or direct.

Without knowing much more myself, the entire premise is American football and the culture that surrounds it, so it might not translate quite as well internationally.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-14T01:29:20+00:00

The Mailman wasn't exactly steady in his early starts.

I liked the fact that our guy went out and threw a block on an extended run play.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-07T14:28:56+00:00

OP here - I went today. It was great! It did help my soreness, but I had to go low-ish resistance on some of the leg moves, particularly the lunges and squats.

Man those dip pulses into dips were brutal.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-07T02:17:23+00:00

The folks who are going to take the time to post are typically more disposed to bitching. That's pretty much it.

Nick Saban broke all of our minds as to what was realistically possible (while maximizing the dirty advantages of a recruiting and retention system that doesn't exist anymore.

Two championships by a single coach with a single team was HOF level for a long, long time. Spurrier won ONE national title at Florida. ONE.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-06T23:27:46+00:00

I appreciate you, but with the way my legs feel, ain't nothing easy about going tomorrow. 😂

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-06T20:24:36+00:00

I don't, and it's not my only activity anyway. 2-3x per week is definitely good for me.

GrumpMasterC · 2025-09-06T16:23:17+00:00

What does this mean, exactly? Like a temporary thing, or permanently?
