D1- I would say 5 for sure: Mayer, Butler, Coldiron, M Mayer, and Jones. Many others will most likely play in college: Pike, Dyer, McGinness, and a couple lineman.

I understand McGinness wants to play college baseball and Coldiron will get looks in baseball as well.

Flair and Dusty my favorite. My other one is non pc but I loved Kevin Sullivan vs Chris Benoit.

talked to one of the coaches this week and he said there are some very bad teams in Ky. He wasn’t lying!

His time in original 4. Great watching. Was very interested to see Hogan speak so highly of him last night. I always thought they weren’t exactly enamored with each other. Not sure if anyone in the locker room is more respected than Flair. I think many learned what to do and not do based on his selflessness and by his lifestyle.

Got it. Didn’t catch part where shield were going against new day. Thanks.

John Cena has been added to Team Smackdown, as tweeted by Shane McMahon.

 

So we're looking at:

 

Kurt Angle

Braun Strowman

Samoa Joe

Finn Balor

Jason Jordan

 

VS

 

Shane McMahon

Randy Orton

Shinsuke Nakamura

Bobby Roode

John Cena

How did Jordan make it? If he stays in match, does he turn heel and turn on Raw? His character isn’t exactly captivating audiences.

Jags 23-13. Too much for Bengals O line. Jags fans can laugh at our O line!!

ED was my favorite player at time and I hated Knight as well. Know what you’re saying. My only one on one with him changed my perspective

There are a lot of jerks past and present in MLB. He just happens to be able to back it up. I introduced my special needs child to him. He couldn’t have been any kinder.

Jags have won a playoff game more recently than the Bengals. What else you wanna laugh at? Guess we will see in two weeks at which is better.

That’s your response? Are you five? Along with the Browns, your team has been the laughingstock of the league for the last 10 years just like the Bengals were in the 90s. I wasn’t putting down the jags team but I don’t need their fans mocking my team when you’ve been pathetic for a decade

I can do without Journey, anything by David Byrne, anything by Aerosmith from late 70’s on, Nirvana and “rap” country.

The stoops experiment has gone on long enough. Fire this loser and get a whole new staff in Lexington.

Grow up. This program was at bottom of SEC when he took over. They’ll never be Alabama or Florida in football but they’re way better than the previous “loser” who coached there.

Exactly who do you think they’re going to hire that is way better?

Hung out with a counple Jags fans up in Indy today. Told them how I live near Cincy. Talked about the Bengals. They laughed about they let two all pro offensive lineman walk this year. Very very interested to see how my Jags do against that offensive line.

Jags fans laughing at what Bengals do. That makes me laugh.

Behind that line I’d be shocked if Romo would make that move.

Also found interesting the comments during game by Aikman that the reason Kap is not in the league is he’s not good enough to help a team.

He blew an 2-0 lead with 2 HOME GAMES remaining with what was the most talented Reds team in 2 decades. Couple that with Dusty's reluctance to sit veteran players who clearly weren't going to get it done anymore and you have a guy who wasted the prime of Joey Votto, Brandon Phillips, and Johnny Cueto. Dusty Baker is the reason this team is still a mess. He set the team back at least 5 years due to his poor managing.

Not a big Dusty fan but to be fair Cueto going down changed everything in that series.

By way, some would say we are watching Votto in his prime last 2-3 years.

He wants to start.

I'd like a million dollars. No one giving it to me. He hasn't earned any right to be thought of as starter. In fact, he wants to start in right field as well. If you read a quote or two from Price, I think he's had his fill of this guy.

He's not a leadoff hitter, never will be. In GABP he's a luxury defensively. At Coors or something comparable he's a must. He's past the age of getting any better IMO.

Even if he was getting a little better every year, he's now gone three years in a row where he's played little or none at end of year due to injury. That won't improve with age as small as he is and the way he goes after ball and steals bases.

Here's my take on Gurly. Jeff Fisher was an awful coach for an offense and Whitworth was vastly underrated outside of Cincy.

Interesting thoughts here. First guy I move on from is Billy Hamilton unless he is used as a defensive replacement late in games or a part time player. He is like having another pitcher in your lineup. The little bit I have seen of Winker, he needs to stick next year and play most everyday. The guy exudes confidence in the batters box. Suarez is inked long term and stays at third base or you trade him now. If I do not have Hamilton in the lineup, I can live with Peraza and put him at shortstop. He needs to work with someone about understanding and commanding the strike zone. Ervin sticks as a 4th or 5th outfielder. Not sold on Schebler being an everyday player, but do feel that Duvall needs to be kept around because the Reds do not have many guys that are going to drive in 100 runs a year on average.

 

Starting pitching is Castillo, Disco, Bailey, Romano and Mahle from what I have seen. Finnegan goes to the bullpen along with Peralta giving me two solid lefties. Lorenzen and Iglesias have obviously earned their stripes.

 

I make Tucker Barnhart my number one catcher and Mesoraco is nothing but a backup if even on the team. If not, they need to find a backup catcher because Turner is in way over his head.

If you think Lorenzen has earned his stripes you're watching something different than I am. He's gotten no one out 2nd half of season and his arrogance is overwhelming

I thought his hit was questionable but here's one thing I've thought about some of these hits and the hit VB had on AB. The defender starts his hit as wr starts to go down and by time the D man hits him, it's helmet to helmet. When he started the hit the wr was higher. Not always but in some cases, yes. You can't play this game without some scary you know what happening. These are very big men hitting each other.

I'm no expert or even close on this subject but I find it hard to believe someone in his 20's had highest findings. This guy sold drugs, did he do them? Does that contribute? Also, these players are taking g lots of "helpers" to get through an NFL season. How does that play a role? I'll believe the studies after a lot more studies.

Why bother with a prediction thread for this game? Both teams are already posturing for draft position!

And the bengals proved that last week by having the lead all the way until the last :30 seconds of the game. Ridiculous comment.

I don't think the Reds should change a thing.

 

Seriously though, I remember watching Barnhart at AA Pensacola play two games while we were on vacation on the Emerald Coast four years ago and thought there was no way he would ever sniff the majors. Watched him play a three game series in July and was impressed at his development. I also liked what I saw in Suarez. They should have moved Feldman and Bailey at the trade deadline.

 

I think they are leaving Price in to manage while the building takes place and then like the Cubs and Indians, bring in a high profile manager to lead the young uns once they are in place. Ron Gardenhire and Freddi Gonzalez come to mind.

So as a GM of another team you would have traded for Homer Bailey coming off basically two years of being on the DL and with the contract he has? You would have been fired the next day

Game is at seven but someone told me the turf temperature may delay it

Wow I thought he was joking. Having a police escort for a one mile trip is the height of stupidity and arrogance. Funerals deserve escorts, not a high school football team.

I realize the north side of Fort Mitchell is a very dangerous place but I think this might be a little over-the-top!!
