• Bengals bite the dust

    From Irish Ranger@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 14 10:25:51 2022
    Well the Bengals lost a close one but at least it
    wasn't a blow out. I'm just happy that, after
    33 years, they finally got another shot. But I
    will tell you this. If the Bengals don't really improve
    their offensive line they won't make it back to
    another Super Bowl and Joe Burrow is going to
    have a short NFL career!

    No QB can get sacked close to 80 times a season
    and survive. Especially when Burrow had to have
    knee surgery last season.

    So, Go Bengals! And remember that the Ohio State
    Buckeyes kickoff on September 3rd!

    I don't know if any thing was "rigged", but I can tell you I skipped the half-time show,
    didn't watch the commercials and muted "The Rock". I like football but I am not a rap fan. In fact, I thought it was a terrible half-time entertainment choice.
    You can find lyrics from each of those rappers that advocate killing or injuring cops. Definitely not something I support. In addition, I think rap is extremely detrimental to children - especially those being raised without strong parental supervision.

    Well clearly you made an attempt to cancel the rock and all rap artists, so therefore you just admitted that you’re a left winger. I bet you’re posting from your MacBook with a Bernie sticker on the back, at a locally owned coffee shop that serves

    As I say with me, you're going to have to actually do something about it. It is the effective extent of the pop music industry, and has been for the better part of two decades (the rise of gangsta rap had stuff like grunge to accompany it).

    I hate to tell you this, but I watched the game at my MIL's house, with her friend an 80 year old lady, her 50 year old daughter and my wife and that is exactly what all the old ladies said over and over during the half time show.

    Maybe its the new "I can't tell if he's a boy or a girl".

    Or probably just "Get off my lawn".
