Had a short lived sports show on AM radio, thankful I got to live that dream. I tweet about Ohio Sports teams. I am not the PBA Bowler named Kevin McCune.
I know one thing - sure, Joe Burrow took himself out of the running for
@NFL
MVP by leading the charge (along with Zac Taylor) in
@Bengals
support of canceling Monday’s game.
IMHO, that kind of personal sacrifice, is more worthy of being called MVP than any TD pass/record

The Bengals endured tragedy/bad breaks during Carson Palmer’s tenure:
- Heartbreaking death of Chris Henry
- Odell Thurman’s inability to get sober
- David Pollack’s broken neck
- Carson‘s blown out knee
None were the

“Stressful nights coming your way,” - You haven’t seen Cincy’s current bullpen have you?… I’m not speaking in any level of hyperbole when I say, historically bad. If not for their bullpen this season, the Reds could have the best record in baseball.
@SportsCenter
A backup wearing number 12, taking over for the injured star (no. 11) & coming up clutch in the playoffs is simply history repeating itself for Boston sports fans
Arkansas State QB (formerly of Oklahoma), Justice Hansen is going to be a riser the closer we get to NFL Draft time. The dude's a legit 6'4" 224 pound kid who has a 27/6 - TD/INT ratio this yr. He threw for over 3,100+ 2 years in a row, & completed 67% of his passes this season.
@Ben_Baby
If you’re man enough to take the beating Joe endured tonight (I know there weren’t a lot of sacks in the box score, but dude took a ton of shots), & get absolutely roughed up, & come out of it saying - “My guys did good,” you’re a leader & a grown man. Bravo 👏
Can’t wait for Lou Anarumo to employ the revolutionary 2-1-8 defensive scheme looks this year:

I’m not defending Zach Smith’s erratic immaturity, but, the guy’s life‘s been destroyed & his rep’s been tarnished beyond repair. His name/everything he had is gone, justly or unjustly. Herman played a big role in his destruction & now a scorned Smith‘s aiming to return the favor
Charmin Metayer could end up being the first TE drafted in 2025/26 (depending on when he enters). Metayer has all the physical tools and with Shedeur Sanders throwing to him, the skies the limit in terms of reaching the ceiling of his potential.
@Trags
What was on the line for Burrow Monday Night:
• AFC N Title
• Shot at 1-seed/home-field
• Jettisoning to favorite in MVP race w/ W over 1-seed Bills on
#MNF
• Passing Drew Brees as most accurate QB all time
… Yet, ZERO of that matters to him.
So proud he’s my team’s QB!

@SportsCenter
“Rigged”?… Clippers won the FT battle 31 to 21, & compared to the 27 fouls on PHX, LAC had just 19. Additionally the Clips won EVERY review, & Booker fouled out… Maybe shoot better than 32% overall & 16% from 3, until then, IMHO get any “rigged,” takes out of here (no offense).
Dear

fans who hold the opinion that this team can pass on Joe Burrow, b/c Chase Young’s a generational talent, & tread water with Ryan Finley for a year,
Have you watched any of Ryan Finley in today’s game, like at all?

Showing sportsmanship after a big win is easier than showing it after a big loss… Bravo to his actions here, but they don’t erase the demons he’s still fighting with anger. How you handle yourself in defeat says more than how you handle yourself in victory IMHO. All due respect.
@Bcarp3
After he retired, Luke Kuechly mentioned wanting to coach (currently a scout for the Panthers), have to imagine a guy who developed himself from a 3⭐️ recruit into the best LB of his generation, could help develop Ohio State’s group. He’s from Ohio, seems like a perfect fit… 🤷♂️

Hey Mark!
Here’s a mature, sober, & appropriate response & perspective about what a very young Bengals team accomplished, from someone who doesn’t irrationally lash out in hate in an attempt to disparage others for a cheap “look at me,” attention grab, &/or scream at clouds 👇
The Bengals were the laughing stock of the NFL 2 years ago.
Joe Burrow blew out his knee 1 year ago.
Today, they’re AFC North champions. Ya love to see it!

: (*really the story of David Bell’s tenure as manager)
• Starter pitches a gem
• David Bell pulls starter after 6 IP/less that 100 pitches
• Bullpen immediately gives up the lead & inevitably the game

@NFLonCBS
Ken Riley: More Interceptions than anyone in the history of the game who played outside CB their entire career. Guys above him on the list either played DHB (defensive half back) & lined up vs. the slot at some point in their careers, or moved to safety late in their careers.
@PFF_College

The Bengals OL projecting toughness by not wearing sleeves in the coldest game in NFL history (a dominate win by Cincinnati), may actually fulfill both the literal & figurative sense of “coldest”:

@Brett_McMurphy
@WatchStadium
Serious question Brett - Did you interview any of the African American players at OSU who are coming out in droves & vehemently denying this story? You know, as far as journalistic integrity goes, their testimony would’ve been crucially necessary toward legitimizing your story.

Dave Lapham. He’s been a player, & broadcaster, & at heart - a fan through thick & thin. The man bleeds orange & black. He deserves it!

Vandy, UK, Missouri, South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi State, heck the entire bottom half of the SEC was sub .500 last year, the SEC is top heavy with a ton of coattail riders who pretend they’re better than they are b/c Saban runs them every year & they love him for it.
@AdamSchefter
There needs to be a law that engines of all non-emergency vehicles have a max speed of 75. No reason any pedestrian vehicle needs to go faster. Maybe in this heartbreaking case it doesn’t matter, maybe it still ends in tragedy, but no privately owned car needs to go that fast.
I remember when Dobbins committed to the Buckeyes & Cam Akers didn’t in the same class. My stupid butt was more upset about missing out on Akers, than happy landing Dobbins... I’ve grown A LOT. Like

@DeionSanders
The people of Cincinnati agree! That’s why some of the best HS football in America is right here in Southwest Ohio. We want a leader who leads by example & walks the walk & talks the talk like you!
@DanWolken
@davebiddle
So journalist’s should have integrity & wait for all the facts to come out before making a judgement either way is what you’re saying?

@JamesPalmerTV
Trey Hendrickson consistently gets less calls from
@NFLOfficiating
than any top DE in the NFL… &… now he has a broken wrist. These two things are 💯% related.
How Zac Taylor turned the Bengals into a winner was on full display tonight. The character he showed tonight is evidence as to why his guys love him, believe in him, & go to war for him. Zac Taylor’s a great human being:
@RealSkipBayless

LeBron was probably thinking - “This will be s fun treat for the kids that they’ll forever remember & have a cool story to tell.”
BUT...
B/c he is who he is, & EVERYTHING that entails, let’s vilify him for it.
@KleinschmidtJD
There’s always been rumors of Votto just going to Children’s in Cincy & hanging out with kids. No media is ever alerted, b/c that’s not why he goes. Dude is a legit good human being.
@Johnny_Joey
It’s so weird for a team that wins 59-0 in their conference championship game to not “win,” the conference, it’s almost like in your hubris, you’re not even correct about your lil zinger at the end big guy 🤣
I’ll just say it - if Dwayne Haskins was white, & played at a PAC 12 or Big 12 school, at his size - 6’3” 225, & w/ his numbers - 50 TD passes, 5,000 yards passing, 70% completion percentage, (in schematically advanced pass offense mind you), he’d be locked in as the top pick 🤷♂️
@AnthonyR3384
1.) Do OSU fans think it’s hilarious Harbaugh might leave, after over-the-top/obnoxiously giddy ttun fans, over-stimulated from “1” W in a decade (3 in 20 years) trolled OSU fans that Day was going to
#DaBears
?: YES 🤣
2.) Does “that” = wanting Harbaugh to leave?: NO 🤣
@PFF
Najee Harris has a chance to be one of the best RBs in the NFL. Travis Etienne & Javonte Williams have chances to be bell-cows. Even mid-late RD guys like Kenneth Gainwell, Trey Sermon, Rhamondre Stevenson, Chuba Hubbard, & Elijah Mitchell could have starter potential someday.
@scottwatkinsTU
It’s amazing how wrong
@ESPNCFB
was with this graphic. It wasn’t just Appalachian State last year, the Cincinnati Bearcats did it too. Also if the committee & ESPN don’t consider BYU a P5 team, they do it just about every regular year.
@AllBengals
To anyone who disagrees, a hypothetical:
- If Bengals selected Mahomes instead of Ross w/ 9th pick (Mahomes went 10th) in ‘17, does Mahomes immediately elevate Bengals to new heights? Mahomes had a ready-made team/infrastructure. Burrow elevated every aspect of CIN’s organization
@zexworld
He identified him as “the sign stealer guy.” Pretty much sums up the conclusion CMU’s come to. He didn’t say “the guy who people think is that sign stealer guy,” he didn’t say “people are saying it’s that sign stealer guy, but I don’t know,” he said it “is” that sign stealer guy.
