The Logan Wilson call was meh, but kinda cancelled out by the non-call on Higgins. Happy for the Rams.

As a fan, I will admit the Bengals really got away with one there.

Why does it say "Miami Dolphins" three times?

I'm even more bothered that the spacing between each of them is not even.

It appears the new fad in Sports Social Media Design is to throw a bunch of stuff together. It looks like it took less than three minutes, but someone probably spent at least an hour making sure this graphic looked "perfect"

Can't wait for the new "Commanders 'n Chiefs" rivalry game

That was a really bizarre playcall, and a bizarre choice by Mahomes to go through with it. 5 seconds is plenty of time to throw a quick pass one yard to the endzone, but trying to go behind the LOS?? Makes no sense

based on the shot of him after the replay, he thought they had a timeout left. Still an odd choice

I wonder how many Bearcats fans are also Bengals fans. This must seem like redemption.

To be honest any fan of either that wasn't glad to be there was a little too confident/greedy (I'm a fan of both)

As with most sane Bengals fans I know. I have no idea how I'm supposed to feel (already blared Bengals TD song "Bang on the Drum All Day" once, sorry neighbors). I'm still happy to be here, and would not be upset in any way if they lose in two weeks. I smiled for a bit, but still don't really feel a lot about it, which is kinda sad?

It's weird that a team in the city I've lived my entire life is playing for a championship, but just so happens to be the one I care the least about. In terms of teams I root for winning a championship, they'd be fifth on the list, so maybe I'll get to find out two weeks from now how much it would mean to me.

As someone who would prefer the Bengals to win today, I hope Patrick Mahomes (on any team really) wins like five more Super Bowls.

It's weird that in the past four AFC Championship games, we had 9-7 Tennessee (two years ago) and 10-6 Jacksonville (four years ago) that seemingly had no business being there. The Titans lost by 11 and the Jaguars somehow only lost by 4.

This matchup reminds me of the ECF in the NBA this part year. The Hawks got hot in the playoffs, beating the number 1 seed in a seven-game series and then lost in 6 to the best player in the league.

I'm also just happy to be here, and I think they'll lose by like 20.

They just announced on the 49ers/Packers game (on Fox) that Tony Stewart will be joining Bowyer & Mike Joy in the booth. I know Jeff Gordon took essentially the heir apparent role at HMS, but have we heard Stewart announce before?

The inadvertent whistle is a lot of hullabaloo about nothing. The whistle blows as the ball is nanoseconds from hitting Tyler Boyd’s hands and had zero impact on anyone’s effort on the field. People are acting like they blew the whistle before he threw the ball and it’s just not what happened. I’m annoyed by it because people aren’t appreciating the slick play by Burrow. Taking a clean score off the board and replaying that down would’ve been a much much worse decision. 

It was absolutely the right call. I'm just glad I don't have to hear about for the next 31 years.

Having to hear about some made up Cincinnati sports curse was getting old (I feel like a lot of people in this city liked the curse in a weird way). I also never liked how when people would bring up the "curse" they would rarely mention Kenyon Martin's broken leg which was the Cincinnati team that had the most potential of any postseason team here.

It's amazing what happens when an owner is patient with a coach. At least half of the fanbase wanted Zac Taylor fired after last year.

I was at my parent's house watching most of the game in the background (it was my grandma's 90th birthday) so we missed the quick whistle on the Boyd touchdown because the sound was off (a play that, if it had happened the other way around would have resulted in riots, but has since been brushed off as nothing). Also, Eli Apple could have easily been called for PI on the Pratt INT, which would have been just as hilarious an ending as the Steelers/Bengals playoff game in 2015.

Can confirm I am happier than a mug. Went to the game with my wife and parents* It was quite thrilling and it's easily the biggest win in the history of that stadium. I don't think any long time Bengals fan in that building thought they'd win, especially not down two touchdowns throughout the first half. Historically, the Bengals never win that game. The Bengals lay an egg in that game and then make us wait a week, make us sweat through a rivalry game in Cleveland, and then lose that too. But these new kids are special and different than Bengals teams of the past. They were supposed to finish last, go 0-6 in the AFC North, and they just won one of the toughest divisions. They're a year early. I'd like to end the playoff win drought, obviously, but I feel good about the future even if they don't. 

 

It was really great sharing that with my family. My wife is a bit of a crier and unquestionably a bigger Bengals fan than I am and she was sobbing. I lost my voice and my back is sore and I probably have omicron thanks to hugging the random college bros next to me that I made friends with during the game. All worth it. 

 

 

*funny enough the first Bengals game that my dad and I went to at Paul Brown Stadium was against the 9-0 Priest Holmes, Dante Hall, Trent Green Chiefs in 2003 and the Bengals upset them then too so I had a weird feeling about this one walking in. 

I was also at that Chiefs game! (it was my second ever, I was at the Seahawks game like three weeks prior because my aunt's cousin is Matt Hasselbeck).

This is the first time in a while that I watched every Bengals game in a season (outside of any primetime games which I can't even remember if they happened), and maybe they need to win the Super Bowl or something, because I felt nothing. I felt so much more emotion after Max Verstappen won the F1 title a few weeks ago, which quickly faded after I realized how dumb it was.

It was really cool seeing a lot of people I know have so much fun with this. I know almost every city in America says their town is cursed or their team is so bad all the time, but this organization has been so hard to root for for so long, and this team so unequivocally cool. I have no idea what I'll feel if they win even a game in the playoffs.

Would have loved if the Raptors jersey had an infinite regression Raptor wearing the Raptor jersey. Real big miss.

To me uniforms are read "from the bottom up." Stripes can start at the shorts and end at the waist (Celtics, Lakers old looks, etc.) but when there are stripes on the jersey itself that don't carry down to the shorts  - in this case the sets released for the Bulls and Spurs - it looks dumb as hell. Ruins an otherwise OK look.

It reminds me of the old Grizzlies set that had stripes on both sides of the jersey but only stripes on one side of the shorts. It looks really, really stupid.

The Cavs used that font in the 90s before the Suns did.

 

 This dawned on me as soon as I posted it. What an awkward font to be used twice (Cavs' use of it is much better)

As an add-on to the Sixers font for the Clippers, why are the Cavs ones using the Suns number font?

(joined the thread at page 54, this might have already been discussed)

The Panthers pants stripe pants bug me.

 

How it's supposed to look. 

 

How it looks now

Why'd they start cutting off the point like that? 

I'd think it has to do with the fact that players essentially wear shorts now. Doesn't mean they can update the stripe though.

Are guys like McHugh and Olczyk going to also do other NBC coverage? I know TNT is somewhat it's own thing and they split rights to sports with just about every other network. McHugh does some pregame stuff for SNF, and Eddie is always involved with Triple Crown coverage.

I like the previous set of Atlanta Hawks uniforms better than what they have now. Egregious, I know.

I might be the only person in the world who feels this way but I kinda miss the BFBS MLB era where Cincinnati, Oakland, Kansas City, and the Mets had unnecessary black on their uniforms.

I also miss the brick red Astros set, especially the white uniform with pinstripes.

A few years before the Saints won the Super Bowl, they were considering some uniform changes. One of the options they tested was was a black uniform with 2009-Jaguars-eqsue piping on the front of the jersey and I think they were thinking of having a gold jersey on the road instead of a white one based on the pictures I saw. Instead of a block number font, they had a number font that was closer to the "SAINTS" wordmark they have.

The other option they had was like a chest stripe somewhere between the Broncos and the uniforms Texas Tech had when Michael Crabtree was there.

Obviously they didn't change them.

I didn't like how quarter and time we're anchored at the bottom, and not in the middle like everything else. Bothered me the whole game.

The ads at the bottom of the page now pop up or change while I'm typing. This happens about every 8 seconds, but i becomes the "active" part of the web page, so I have to click back into the reply box every 8 seconds.

EDIT

  

 

If you watch college football, you will look at your phone or something because the commercial breaks are lengthy and numerous. Flipping channels like a madman is the only way to watch this wretched sport.

 

Also, if I edit in a quote after the fact does it send a notification to that person?

It does! (if you were talking about me, the added quote. I have no idea if it sends another one to the first person).

I know I'm the weird one here, but I'll just keep watching the same 7 commercials each game haha. I still have no idea how the networks still think they can get a college football game in a three hours window
