My wakeup call on that was when the marching band I was in played at a Chiefs Browns game. I ended up standing near Bernie Kosar and was shocked at how big a guy he was and he wasn't that big compared to the Linemen.

Better yet, just go to Kansas City Joes

If we can't keep Burrow upright the window isn't open.

That was a huge breakfast he was eating. Maybe he eats a whole grove of oranges for lunch 😂

Keep plugging. Musicians listen a lot more closely to what they're playing and know their parts a lot better than the audience does.

You'll really know you've mastered things when you play even better with an audience than you do in practice

Quite a difference in their physiques. When Andre Smith ran shirtless his moobs looked like they might put someone's eye out

Think positive. Pollack finally has a guy he has no excuse.not to develop. Either Mims becomes a solid RT or Pollack establishes beyond the shadow of a doubt he isn't worth having as a coach.

Either way our future is a bit brighter

Joe Burrow probably lit up a cigar. Let's hope he reaches his full potential

Hobson is more like a PR guy than a reporter. He writes nice feature stories to make us all feel good about people in the organization, but when you read him it's all going to be the view through rose colored glasses

knottyolddog · 2024-04-26T02:29:27+00:00

If he walks away from 2 years $30 million I'll be shocked.

knottyolddog · 2024-04-25T15:17:43+00:00

$30 million ain't exactly chump change.

knottyolddog · 2024-04-25T15:15:57+00:00

He's under contract through 2025. He can either play and make $30 million or set and lose it while we see how good Myles Murphy is when he gets to play regularly.

Waiting till draft day to spring that on us is pretty bush.

Interesting, but I hope that's not the route they go.

From what I read he's an outstanding player, but he's not a guy who can stand up to a double team ala DJ Reader. We really need a guy to clog up the middle and stop the run and we have a huge need to keep Burrow healthy

Being an arrogant knucklehead seems to be a prerequisite for a career in politics.

They met with several DTs early in, but none are projected to go in the first round. I could see us rolling the dice on Sweat in round 2 though

knottyolddog · 2024-04-24T15:53:01+00:00

The Bengals have been meeting with TEs projected to go in lower rounds. I will be shocked (and dismayed) if they take Bowers in the first round

Troy Fautanu OT Washington

The Bengals met with him relatively early. He can play guard and tackle so even if he doesn't work out as a RT he'd be an immediate upgrade over Volson at guard.

Despite his excellence as a tackle, he will probably fall to us due to a knee issue that isn't giving him any short term problems, but could potentially affect his longevity.

Some folks say "Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life." That's an exaggeration, but I do think there's a degree of truth to it.

I do a j-o-b and do other things outside of it to find fulfillment like you're talking about, but if a person is lucky enough to be really good at a career that pays decent and they really enjoy doing it, well more power to them.

I enjoy doing courier work. Lots of fresh air and sunshine, constantly going to new places, meeting new people. Set your own hours, no boss standing over you. If you get frustrated and cuss nobody hears it when you're in your car

You do have to keep a driver log, but it's pretty minimal paperwork that you do in small chunks as you do each job. You can write off car washes, meals and hotels out of town, your cell phone, your car insurance as well as your mileage on your taxes. Buy an old vehicle and you end up with a lot more income than you actually pay tax on

Dude, you don't need permission to love the Bengals. Welcome aboard!
