Low Positive

Ever since the clock showed zero in Buffalo two weeks ago, this board has been a race to the bottom to see who can be the most dramatically miserable.

The Bengals have a cash flow problem. They don’t have the cash to put the guaranteed money for three giant contracts in escrow so something has got to give. As i’ve said many times on this board, the Brown family’s only asset of value is the team itself. Right now, the two highest paid players in the Bengals are DJ Reader and Trey Hendrickson at 15 million each. That’s about to change in a big way.

Joe Burrow got the ball with 2 minutes needing a FG to go to the Superbowl. The Bengals punted.

There is no way that he will face these charges. The Bengals are kings of this town because Cincinnati is starved for a winner. Here's a picture of the Hamilton County prosecutor

We have no idea why Salgado was fired. The reasons may be beyond the performance of the safeties.

I think this is a risk that the Bills have to take, but it is a risk. The fear is that Hyatt is John Ross. Ross is also blazing fast and had a single breakout year in college. He also had a limited route tree in college. Ross never adjusted to playing in a pro offense.

You can try to will Jalin Hyatt to pick 59 in your mocks all you want, but he’s not making it there. This is a weak draft and FA class at WR, so guys will get overpaid and overdrafted.

If you’re bringing a cricketer into the discussion, I would counter with Joe Dimaggio. 9 rings in 15 seasons, and that’s with losing years to WWII. And if you bring up Federer, you’d have to include Rafa and Novak. Im also ready to die on the “Joe Montana was better” hill, buts that’s a different discussion. God speed Tom, and go eat a cheeseburger.

It was during pro bowl week in Hawaii. It was a meaningless officially sanctioned NFL event and it essentially ended his career.

For that third question

Exactly. This isn't baseball where you can buy your way out of problems. At least the Rams got productive players for their picks.

Also, every year that he won a SB the Pats or Bucs has an elite defense.

It's either the Browns or the Bengals.

He'll be in Ohio before the day is through.

Last time, he "retired" to get the Bucs to release him so he could go to the Dolphins. Now, he's a FA and could go anywhere.

Because people are going to ask this, he's a backup OG who didn't play a snap against the 49ers and isn't on the injury report. I know it shouldn't matter, but...

In 201 yards passing. Sounds like short fields to me.

Can at least take Payton’s spot in the studio.

That was the Bucs D-Line that crushed him. Mahomes was sacked 3 times and threw 2 picks. Brady had nothing to do with that.

Robert Edwards blew out his knee playing flag football on the beach.

My response to everybody is that the last time I checked, I didn’t play in the game. So I didn’t fail.

If the QB position was uncapped, guys like Mahomes would have infinite value. How much do you think Jerry Jones would pay Mahomes in an open FA market. $200 million? More? I have no idea, but it would be a lot more than $50 million.

He’ll start somewhere.

Not just a rookie contract. He’s a seventh rounder. His cap hit is under $900,000.

He grew up as a Steelers fan
