The Raven

I don't think the Reds will go anywhere. The Bengals are a bit more iffy. They are certainly streaking at the right time. Paycor (PBS) is almost 25 years old and is no longer state of the art (honestly it never was.). When they ask for a new stadium, how they ask will be very important. If they have a title under their belt and are still Burrows team in contention every year, they maybe able to fool the public into springing for new digs. If not, and they try the same tactics they did in the late 90's, the city and fans may just say don't let the door hit ya on the way out.

I'd be shocked if they were on Bally for the 2023 season. Bally has been trying to drop their MLB, NHL and NBA coverage across the country. These things are all headed to streaming services eventually. Will Apple or Amazon be willing to pony up the cash to stream these leagues? Time will tell.

Cincinnati or Idaho State? Because I don't see any reason for Kansas City to be afraid of the Idaho State Bengals.

Do they get a helicopter to carry them through the transfer portal when they hit in in a year or 2?

The former Reds third baseman will likely be enshrined as a Cardinal. He was the only player on the ballot to reach the 75% threshold. Todd Helton just missed at 72% https://www.mlb.com/news/baseball-hall-of-fame-2023-voting

I just meant hype-up wise. It would be Cincy/SF round 3 or A KC/SF rematch from a few years ago and the league is always happy when the teams with the best records (KC and Philly) are on the big stage. Cincy/Philly has the least amount of pizazz to it.

KC being basically a pick 'em at home leads me to believe Vegas thinks Mahomes's ankle is worse than he and the Chiefs want people to believe.

Odd to drive past now and try and picture how the building I attended classes in fits into what you see now. The unrecognizable gym is all that remains.

McCarthy should be fired for that formation alone. Zeke as the lone protector was only effective in that the Niner probably tripped over him after knocking him on his kiester.

Eagles. Just because I think a Philly/Cincy Super Bowl excites the NFL offices less than any other match-up, excepting if Minnesota and Jacksonville had made it through.

1:37 away from this seasons Jerry Jones excuse.

First Bart Scott and now Eric Weddle. We got 2 more games for Ex-Ravens to say something stupid. Ray Lewis or Ed Reed got anything to chime in?

Do not. Had an old account for work related things but never used it. Once it was sold, I dropped out before it became a full on circus.

WHO DEY!!

Joe Mixon picked a heck of a day to show up on the ground. They needed him and he produced. That was the most sold Bengals performance I've seen since a 61-7 beatdown of the Oilers way back in the Boomer days. I thought this was the week Cincy bowed out this season. Glad I was flat wrong.

No doubt. Dude did not treat himself well but he was a supremely talented musician. One we aren’t going to see the likes of much more in the music world.

He's a lefty, so he may hang around as a journeyman for another few years, but I'd guess this is his last chance to prove he's still got "it." Wish him luck, but I don't think he makes the Royals any better nor does he regain the intimidation he used to have.

This is always the fun part of these forecasts. Is that regular snow or Buffalo snow? Like it may flurry or there maybe 3 feet on the ground.

That's my point. The NFL needs to not base it off division championships. Dispense with divisions. Play a season. Top 7 teams make the playoffs. If you don't have 7 teams over .500 in the conference, and additional team gets a bye in round one.

And it wasn't that close. The NFL needs to revisit playoff formatting. That Tampa team was not playoff worthy.

True. But I'm also not a fan of a QB, WR, or RB giving the first down broadway production. And my last rant for the season (maybe). Saw this far too often this weekend. When players (especially on defense) just quit the play, turn and start crying for a flag (staring at you Joey Bosa). I know I'm just an old codger. So play the whole play and get off my lawn.

If you don't accept change you can not grow. Highlands had a proud history even before the Colonels started a program. Early on, Covington Catholic may have needed the Birds as a measuring stick, but they've established themselves. They can go be successful without each other. They can always play when they want, but neither team, nor does the region, need that anymore.
