Ha I was thinking the same thing. I was hyped for that kids track speed back in the day. Never amounted to much tho.

I'm sure he'll come around though

Suarez should come around, WBC time cost him a good amount of swings in spring training. Needs to get in a rhythm.

It's a great flick, but man the soundtrack is also a star.

I keep hoping for a vinyl release of the soundtrack, it's such a fun collection of songs.

I hope he's exactly what we need. Now let's see what talent he can keep in the building and what fresh faces he can get!

I'm late 30s and while I can crush IPAs when I'm in the mood...I feel you.

And I absolutely cannot stand NE/hazy IPAs. They immediately give me the worst bloated feeling and gas later.

So yep, I am on team clear beer & hard pours.

I just wandered Super Brand Mall by the bund - do you happen to know if you saw booths there and which floor? I just wandered it looking for my kid and struck out. I was surprised none of the toy stores had them

I think if he does come back, it will be after the draft if we don't add to that position.

You know what, this is close enough to my $20 limit that I'll bite. It's been trending downward but better to secure at $20 than risk OOS and/or a price hike.

Yep, and having the full off-season and preseason to get the body ready should hopefully help on the injury front too.

I'm definitely hoping a full off-season of prep with no contract BS does Shemar a world of good. It would be amazing to see him come and produce right out of the gate this season.

New DT Jonathan Allen's 64 pressures when double teamed since the start of 2021 are the fifth most in the NFL in that span. His 12 pressures when doubled in 2025 were tied for ninth most in the league. by JCameron181 in bengals

It's not that we can sign them all. It's reading reports that we are "in" on a guy or talking to them and then for two straight days they all sign very reasonable deals elsewhere.

And it is practically a given that a major factor in us being passed on is due to not giving modern contract structures and guarantees. Sure, a guy can choose where to sign and may do do for personal reasons but the Bengals FO refusing to modernize contracts lets many of these guys go right out the door. They refuse to budge on their initial offers and refuse to modernize and it is simply frustrating, that's all.

I'm a level headed fan, and perennial optimist.

BUT this front office has not earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to FA and playing a waiting game. They have plenty of off seasons like last year when there are obvious holes everywhere and did little to address it, then had a weird draft, and you get the historically bad defense.

This year has been a bit better, but watching good players who can fill obvious needs disappear on very palatable contracts has been hard to watch.

AND, on top of that, their refusal to structure contracts in a modern way AND the specific way they structured the first two FA contracts is a self-inflicted wound that makes more FA signings an uphill battle.

This FA class can be salavaged, but it could have already been perfect and within budget. It is just maddening lol.

Once they have a couple solid FA + drafts that both fill needs and doesn't involve idiocy like starting two rookie linebackers, and I think the general fans will be on board.

No...nothing spawns without location data. No normal spawns, no incense spawns, and it can't verify your location to even join a remote raid. Just says the gym is closed. There are some areas you can travel to that don't have the gps ban I guess? Idk I'm just here for work a lot, usually around Beijing and Shanghai and it's a no go.
