  1. I tend to agree with some on here not calling for the anointing of Burrow as the next great QB automatically? For those of you not as old as I, look back through the long, long list of Heisman winning QB's and find me a HOF'er? Staubach in 1963? For every Carson Palmer, Cam Newton or Sam Bradford (good, but hardly great QB's) there's Chris Weinke, Eric Crouch, Jason White, Matt Leinert, Troy Smith, Tom Tebow, RG III & Johnny Manziel. Jury still out on Jamis Winston, Mariota, Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray & Lamar Jackson. And these are only since 2000.

     

    Point being, just because you were a great college QB & Heisman winner; rarely translates to a transcendent talent, especially at QB.

     

    If I were the Bengals' GM (I know Mikey's the GM) for a day or so; I'd have dumped AJ, Dalton (Bears?) & maybe Eifert if there were a taker (NE?)back earlier this year, when some desperate team might have overpaid for them & admit I'm rebuilding and start over. Then if I was convinced Burrow is the next Brady (which I hope he is, seems like a great kid); then take him and still have high picks left over to fill some of the many other holes (might also have some extras for next year too, as rebuilding takes a few years).

     

    I think the fanbase would embrace a reboot far better than the constant trying to compete (which they rarely do), and never really retooling the entire team. The coaching staff deserves a full blown rework with their own players if the Brown family truly has faith in them.

  2. Bengals will get roasted (and rightfully so) if Drew Lock turns out to be a player for Denver; as they gave him up for a blocking TE (which they already have 2) and a couple of throw in picks. While Pitt ruined their LB plans in the first, this seems to be a very uninspiring draft so far for a team, which having just returned from Vegas; is one of the longest to win both the AFC & Super Bowl. Guessing they'll move further down with the Miami & AZ moves.

  3. Always wished Brossart made the cut to the 'regional' tourney that allows 8th region Simon Kenton and Walton get invited to play in.

    the 2010-11 team had a 26-1 record with the only loss being to Simon Kenton in a game where a couple of players were not 100%.

    Only 2 of their games that year were within 10 points and 2 frosh played up never seeing a freshman uniform.

    They won the Holy Cross tourney, district, NKAC and 10th region championships that year.

    Have to agree with you TAC--Would have loved to have seen Brossart included in this tourney. The '03-'04 Brossart freshman team was clearly the best team in NKY that year; going 24-2 with the only losses to Elder at Elder by 4, and to a powerful Scott County team in Lexington by 1. Won the 10th region championship going away, and beat the Kaelin Champs CovCath by 18. Went on to be a pretty good team in '07!!

  4. While what many of the students did was wrong and very insensitive at the very least; but the responses. comments, overblowing of the facts, etc. that I saw on Twitter yesterday are equally as disturbing. The lynch mob mentality of those comments are quite concerning, especially as to any type of meaningful dialogue on this issue. Civility in the US is at an all time low in my lifetime--There is no discussion, only one side or the other! Quite Sad!!

  5. While in no way am I condoning the actions of the CCH students, I am finding it interesting that in looking for the "other side of the story" this evening and after seeing several videos on Twitter claiming to show the full story (One a 9 minute video clearly showing the Indian gentleman in question walking into the crowd of students, followed by several folks obviously not with the CCH contingent videoing the event & seeming to instigate a confromtation); those videos have conveniently disappeared from Twitter when I went to show them to others?? Not ready to claim conspiracy or bias from the "Twitterverse" yet; but I do find it intriguing the the opposite point of view had mysteriously disappeared and is non-existent on the platform?? Thoughts??

  6. I completely agree. He is definitely the quarterback for the Ravens and he’s been.

     

    Almost felt like that was a move for the future, not this game; but almost worked out for them. He really needs to find a way to at least keep defenses honest with the pass to succeed. Interesting future for most of the AFC North!
