Well coached teams don’t get embarrassed by bad teams. How many times in Tomlin, Belichick, Reid’s tenure did we see them get blown out? Bengals have been embarrassed more than they’ve done the opposite. How terrible did they look last night? Smh.
Well. Another great game plan and play calling. He is a true idiot when it comes to play calling maybe his ego won't let it go this team has no chance with this Philosophy. .. your writing has been great just wish you could call plays . Thanks P.D
We don't get trick or treaters here. Never lived in one of those neighborhoods where the hordes came through. Adults dressed and pushing an infant (who has of course no interest in the candy) got on my nerves at one house.
Most of the kids who came to HH house earned their candy trudging up the hill behind and entering our sparsely participatory street. Could converse with neighbor during lulls. Narrow lots.
Stillers are amazingly bad. I expect it will be frosty on the lake in Cleveland tonight. I hope your prediction is correct. Bengals will have to scrap for it.
I love the movie Practical Magic (not a horror movie) and the soundtrack even more. Have enjoyed both this year. Cate Blanchett's The Gift is scary enough for me. Never a fan of the slasher genre.
The Hulu documentary series “Welcome to WrecksJoe” is the scariest thing I’ve watched in a long time. For two and a half years, a row of ineptitude miserably fails at trying to protect a guy named Joe from losing limb and life while on his quest for a ring. Joe’s overlords look on while one of their most favored soothsayers continues with his overpaid saloon door protection selections. It’s frightening.
I kind of have a love/hate relationship with PK - he does provide a lot of interesting content on a couple of his weekly spots he does with national sports talk radio guys, but he rarely airs any opinion that would ruffle anyone's feathers and is always as pc as they come. For someone supposedly so "in tune" with all things NFL, he has historically whiffed on so many things Cincinnati-related over the last 2 decades, which is even more baffling when you consider he started his career here. As Randy already alluded to, it's so obvious that PK saw "torn labrum" somewhere and immediately went with shoulder. That is so incredibly lazy when reporting on one of the top 3 WRs in football (regardless if they play for little ole Cincinnati or not).
"The Shining" was always the film that scared the bejeezus out of me when I first saw it as a 12 year old.
Peter King showed how much he pays attention to the Bengals with that comment
UCF thinks they are better than the UC. They are offended that we don't genuflect to their supposed national title in 17 (when they were the better team but weren't in the CFP conversation) and had the temerity to cut in front of them to get to the CFP... this is gonna be the Bearcats arch rival in football going forward...
The sooner Halloween is over the better for me, I'm not a horror movie fan and people dressed up that aren't with kids out trick or treating is just sad...
Had an interesting discussion with my 13-year-old son regarding horror/scary films this weekend, after watching the original Halloween with him and the last three ret-conned Halloweens. Told him the more a horror film leaves to your imagination, the better, because your own imagination can sometimes be enough to scare the dickens out of you. Also explained that the excessive gore and splatter of today's "horror" films is nothing but window-dressing from hack filmmakers, who use it to cover up their lack of being able to tell an efficiently scary story.
Much less to say, he preferred the original Halloween to the latest versions, and I reveled that my soapbox tirade made an impression haha.
There aren't many films anymore that can scare my 45-year-old self, but "The Strangers" is definitely one. Good pick on that, as well as "The Exorcist." First saw that film while I was a teenager and serving as an altar boy at my Catholic church. It's scary even without the Catholic connotations, but add that in too? I was one terrified 13-year-old, to say the least.
I've done the full Halloween thing, decorating the house up to scare the little trick-or-treaters, etc. And I've also just stood by the door with a bowlful of store candy. But lately, I follow your parents' plan. Lock up and turn the lights off. Where I live now, there is a "trunk or treat" in the park across the street (police and fire departments hand out candy to the kids), right before the neighborhood candy search. So they pile out of that event pointed at my front door. No thanks; I have a job.
I don't do horror movies because they almost always come across as manipulative, which annoys me. If there is some humor (or a lot of it), I might be okay though. Think Sean of the Dead or that old drive-in classic, Student Bodies.
Thankfully, years of the fatalism you mention has me in a good place as a fan of these Bengals. If they play well, hooray. If not, well we've been through worse.
My good friend, Brady, said something that resonates: "The Bengals have a good bullpen. They'll be ok." They've got good receivers even without Chase. Chase not playing may help make Joe an even better QB. When Chase gets back, they will be primed for a stretch run.
I think Joe torches the Clowns for 4 TD's tonight.
Peter King is a pretentious clod. He has been for a long time. I stopped reading him 15 years ago. Enough with your Red Sox love, dude.
Been to many adult Halloween parties my many years on earth. They're all silly, wild, and fun. Everyone has a blast. Funniest moments are when someone dresses in something completely out of character, or when a group puts together a group costume that's a wild pun. Judging from your writing, you seem to feel they compete with kids events. No, they do not. They start late and end very late. Kids are in bed already. If you don't like them for yourself, fine. But knocking them, yet never having been to one? That's a bit get-off-my-lawn. I'm thinking, lighten up, Francis.
You want historical costuming? Germany has loads of scary fictional characters. Check out Krampus. He and his helpers scare kids into behaving. The costumes and masks are over 500 years old. Hey, if it works.... All countries have costumed events. Whether it's centuries of masked European balls, lederhosen ladies at beer fests, leprechauns in Irish parades, Macy's 5th Ave, a New Guinea tribe covered in white dots , or American Indians in war paint and headdress on them and horses, costuming is a tradition as old as human beings on earth. Halloween is the night before all saints day, then all souls day. It's like Mardi Gras, a paganistic party night before getting serious. Works for me.
My sister and her fiancé (now married for 45 years) took my brother and me to see “Wait Until Dark”. When we left the theater, we noticed my future BIL had left nail marks on our sister’s hand from “that scene”. We all jumped a bit at “that scene” too, as did seemingly the entire theater. Not a Halloween-type scary movie, but “Play Misty for Me” always brings chills too.
I don't like to make predictions, but I don't expect tonight's game to be a gimme. Browns generally play the Bengals tough, the Bengals'best run stuffer is out, and the Bengals still can't run the ball. Now their best WR weapon is out. Probably will come down to TO ratio and special teams. Plus penalties. Even if the Bengals win, the odds of them winning the division are terrible. Have you looked at the Ravens' remaining schedule. They only play 1 team above.500, the Bengals, while Bengals have Titans, Chiefs, and Bills. Best chance at playoffs is a WC. The missed opportunities early in the season will likely sink this team. On the other hand, next year they will have a softer schedule, and the O line will have had a year to gel. So think of this as a mini-rebuild with next year being THE year.

sorry you are old and no fun, bro-in-law. Love you anyways.
You know me too well. 🤪

Dumbest holiday ever. There, I said it and I'm not wrong.

PKing saying Chase has a shoulder injury tells us all we need to know.
"Youse'll" - thanks for inventing a new contraction.
My good friend, Brady, said something that resonates: "The Bengals have a good bullpen. They'll be ok." They've got good receivers even without Chase. Chase not playing may help make Joe an even better QB. When Chase gets back, they will be primed for a stretch run.

I really miss Dr. Z, though.

Yeah. I'll change it. Thanks!
