ESPN+ is such a GARBAGE product. I’ve been trying to log in for 30 minutes and now I’m stuck an endless “connect your provider” loop… Maybe @espn should take some of that McAfee money and pay their tech support instead 🤡
Today's the day. The first episode of Calhoun Street is available on ESPN+ beginning at 3 p.m.

jeff simmons is third in pressures, fourth in pass rush win rate, and has as many sacks as dexter lawrence this season. still, the difference between 1 first and 2 firsts with a day 3 pick swap is pretty notable. wins all around! atozsports.com/nfl/cincinnat…

This is the best news I’ve heard in long time
I'm going to get vulnerable with y'all real quick. Leah started her first job this week, and I just pulled up to pick her up. Saw her helping a customer and now I'm sitting in the car with tears pouring down my face.

In 1968, the Bengals introduced Benzoo, a real Bengal tiger cub who was the team’s original mascot, serving at home games. Loaned to the team by the Cincinnati Zoo, Benzoo would make on-field appearances at halftime, which players would go up to and pet. Live tiger cubs were eventually phased out by the team in the 90s due to practicality reasons, as the original 13-pound cub quickly grew to 75 pounds by the end of the season, and a 350-pound tiger by the following year. The team went through as many as seven live tiger cubs in the first 15 years. Via @unitedfrontarch

Terrific convo with rookie edge Cashius Howell. Howell says he was grateful to Boye Mafe for his kind words postgame Sunday in Baltimore. “I was just talking with him earlier about that. I'm just so thankful to have a guy like that in my corner, and like he said, he doesn't really care about his stuff. It's honestly the same thing. I don't really even care that I got my sack. I'm just glad that he was able to eat, and I know that he's put in a lot of work, and he has just a lot of intentionalism coming into this game. So I'm just glad to see him go crazy too.”

This is getting blown WAY out of proportion. Shemar isn’t going anywhere.
The #Bengals aren't shopping Shemar Stewart. Zac Taylor called reports "made up." The team also isn't planning on keeping Stewart buried on the inactive list for long. DC Al Golden said there is disappointment, but not in Stewart's work ethic or attitude. More on where things stand: si.com/nfl/bengals/onsi/beng…

“The Bengals have lost all four of the previous games with Allen, who is one of the rare NFL officials who began his career as a head referee, joining the league in 2014 after working for the ACC.” Well this certainly tracks… ACC officials are historically terrible at their job
No referee has worked more #Bengals games since the start of 2024 than the white hat who will have the assignment Sunday vs the Titans. And the Bengals have lost every game he's called during that span: si.com/nfl/bengals/onsi/refe…

Oh the fire sale is on ON
Trade summary, per @TomPelissero: 49ers get - DeForest Buckner Colts get - 2027 4th-round pick

Schefter: Josh Downs could end up being traded.

Bengals are very much in line to receive a 2027 3rd rd comp. pick for losing Trey Hendrickson in FA. If the right opportunity presents itself, CIN should be willing to part with a 3rd (perhaps also coupled with a late round pick-swap) to trade for a player.
Seattle is poised to have five compensatory picks in 2027 from the free-agent losses of Boye Mafe, Kenneth Walker, Tariq Woolen and Coby Bryant. They’ll also receive a third-round pick after executive Nolan Teasley became Minnesota’s GM. That flexibility has allowed Seattle to be aggressive in the trade market, and now they land Quenton Nelson.
