What's up with Ochocinco doing the modeling?

Ocho being there is a concerted effort from the front office to engage with fans and bringing back popular former players for situations like this is huge and is definitely another thing that tells me the Bengals front office is listening. Also that top picture is Tee Higgins.

For those of us who are not artistic, we probably wouldn't notice much different.  But it is a sleeker, more simple look.  The "Paul Brown" signature on the back is pretty cool.  The stripes look more natural (like a tiger) with the color blocks gone.  These uniforms plus a great draft later this month will help them perform better as a team!🤪😉🤣

I personally don’t think it takes being artistic to notice a huge difference.

Can honestly say I don't see that much difference.

There’s a huge difference. The number font is way better with no ugly drop shadow. No shoulder contrast from rest of the jersey, no hideous side panel, no hideous “B” logo. They did very, very well with these. 

I mean it’s Yadier Molina he deserves zero respect from anyone in the game as far as I’m concerned. 

Hammer the over.

Quoting myself I know but in my opinion Genesis deserves a pat on the back here for building such a safe vehicle. 

Yeah no kidding. This may be the best unintentional and unfortunate good pr ever. I mean hitting a tree at 75 mph and not only did Tiger survive but suffered minor injuries relative to the severity of the accident. 

Yadier Molina is and always be the biggest crybaby in MLB.

Meinken Field

There probably isn’t a field in NKy that need turf more than Meinken. That field was tragically bad back when I played. Always hated those trips to play Holmes or Holy Cross because of this field. Looks phenomenal now though.

The preferred option for me is the Bengals trading back if they could. As long as they can stay in the top 10 though. Getting another second round pick this year and possibly a first rounder for next year would be huge based off what the trades have brought back so far would be huge. Say if they are able to trade back to 8 with the Panthers. There is still a very good chance that either Sewell, Chase, Pitts, or even Slater would be there. 

Trade back with Carolina and the first 5 picks will be QBs IMO. That guarantees Carolina gets one of the top QBs, and guarantees the Bengals get one of Sewell, Chase, Pitts, or Slater. I think it’s a win-win for everyone involved. I would be on the phone with Carolina until they agree to it. The Bengals have to do everything they can to attempt that trade.

Was unaware of that situation, who were they?

Urban Meyer prior to taking the Jaguars job was “associate AD” at OSU which essentially meant he just showed up at fundraising events for the athletic department. That’s a role he could have kept at Ohio State for as long as he wants it. It’s not uncommon. 

It was asked if UC fans are happy or bitter for Mick, but how about UK fans with Juzang? You have to imagine he would have been a great asset to UK this year considering his success at UCLA.

I think Holtmann ( he was my pick) would understand KY and it’s fan base. However Bennett at Virginia has a title and the guy won the ACC again. He is a very underrated Coach who could win Big at KY.  Duke has only won 1 ACC regular season title in the past 15 years and that was a co championship in 2010.

UK fans would hate Bennett. UK needs a big personality at head coach and star power players. While Bennett has been really successful at UVA, that culture is a bad fit in Lexington IMO.

Arched Kentucky classic look bro g back these.

Best uniforms in the history of UK basketball IMO. If I remember correctly the entire SEC or at least the Nike schools in the SEC all had this same type of jersey for the last part of the season and the SEC Tournament. But it’s a great look.

I feel like we see this pretty often and it drives me absolutely nuts. Kids want to be on SportsCenter hitting a step back jumper to win the game.

It’s a tie game and you’ve got the last possession. A lot has to go wrong for that shot to be your best option.

Drive the ball to the lane for a higher percentage shot or a chance for free throws.

To be fair Ohio State drove the ball to the hoop in the final seconds and didn’t get a shot off multiple times this season. I’m just glad they got a shot off this time. 

Anyone else extremely annoyed at the fact that Abmas is pronounced Ace-miss? Haha

While I don’t think Indiana will hire Pitino, Cincy would be crazy not to go after him. He could literally turn them around next season. 

Imagine Pitino winning a title at all 3 points in the golden triangle. It would honestly be incredible and really fun to watch.

 Great example of kids being soft. 😂

Agreed with that. They aren’t staying in a Days Inn. They’re staying at JW Marriott, The Omni, and other really nice hotels in Indy. The kids are perfectly fine. Eat, sleep, play basketball, and play video games. I don’t feel bad for them haha.

Besides the 2015 team. Which other final four or Championship did Cal choke in? 

The elite eight loss to West Virginia was a massive choke job IMO. Not a final 4 or championship, but still a massive choke.

Day has been a head coach for two seasons. Probably not a good comparison.

That’s a fair point.

K, Self, Izzo, Williams, Wright...none of those guys would be fired for one season like this. In fact no coach that has consistently won at a high level would be fired for one bad season.

Would Day be fired if the Buckeyes went 4-8 next season? No!

If Day went 4-8 with an undisputed top 3 roster in the entire country, I could see Day not making it through. Hell if Day goes 10-2 next year there will be fans calling for his job. Some OSU fans wanted Urban gone the year they lost to Oklahoma and Iowa. I don’t think the extremism that is the Ohio State fanbase is a good comparison haha 

As someone that played a lot of games on turf, give me turf over 90% of baseball fields in the state of Kentucky. The fact is simply, the majority of schools in KY don’t have the resources or don’t have the know-how to properly maintain a grass and dirt field. There are so many bad fields in the state and have been forever. No one is going to choose a turf field over a perfectly manicured field, but playing baseball on the majority of the fields in the state is not fun. 

Unfortunately, I tested positive this morning. Had some slight symptoms last night. Slight cough and just felt a little off. Decided to see how I felt this morning and still felt the same and went for a test. Came back positive. Confirming it with a PCR tomorrow. I honestly feel fine. Just a slight cough, runny nose, and a headache. Nothing crazy by any means.

Hit me up once you got 'em and I will start a team for us.

Mine is supposed to be delivered on the 5th so I’ll let you know when I get it.

Five or six days. What is sleek about it is it comes with a battery pack. So you charge it, then slide it over your Whoop (wrist) so you don't have to take it off. Charges super quick, too.

I think you sold me on. Haha I’m going to order one right now.

I have a Whoop. Big fan.

And the reason I got the Whoop - aside from its advanced metrics - was for anxiety reasons. I knew if I had a typical fitness watch I would be obsessed with looking down at my "rings" or monitoring my calories burned step-by-step.

What’s the battery life like as far as how often do you have to charge it?
