Skyline Dip

(“Dixie Chili Dip” for the reals.)

Northside Yacht Club had “personal” Skyline Chili Dips on offer for the big game.



I think Mike Brown always wears a crappy hat because he is cheap and is trying to use it as free advertisement. He has a huge head and even officially licensed Bengals gear always looks taut against his melon (and they have no real sizing constraint). When he wears these cheap hats from his (or his friend’s) other business concerns, they are cheap promotional hats that only come in a normal size. They always look like that.

🤮

My head hurts but I’m here in the office like a pro.

Not going to rehash the game other than to say two things: Rogue just STFU already.

And it looked like to me that the Bengals defense started to panic when the Rams got into the Red Zone. A lot more grabbing, holding, etc. I understand your frustration but the calls weren’t that bad.

- Sorry for all the Bengals talk the last few weeks. Appreciate the patience and class shown by most here.

- Look a bad call in the first half is different m than one under the two minute warning. One is much more difficult to overcome.

- Bright futures and all but only a few QBs get more than one chance.

- My MIL put together a spread. It was ridiculous. Opened up a Weller 12. Great day besides the end. MIL didn’t appreciate my reaction but what can I say? You know how I am. You keep wanting me to come over for games. Your daughter drafted DeMarcus Cousins.

- Worst thing about the Super Bowl is sports conversations with non-sports fans.

- At a coffee shop in Mt. Adams drinking (coffee) my sorrows away. Just trying to stay away from my house as long as possible.

- Shorthanded in Knoxville isn’t ideal.

- March beckons and BBN is feeling ornery. LFG

How does Russia get to participate in the Olympics still? Just change your name no big deal but keep doping. A 15-year-old? Really? And still allowed to participate but well just not do podium ceremonies if you win. Okay, seems fair.

- A Browns fan, but was pulling for Cincy last night simply because of how many friends it would make happy. Other than OBJ, however, the Rams seem like a good bunch of dudes. Whitworth, Von Miller, Stafford, Donald...losing to that bunch makes it a little more palatable.

- Underrated positive about that halftime show...there was no wasted time, a la Lady Gaga jumping off the top of the stadium, or The Weeknd getting lost in that set. Just went straight from hit to hit, very little downtime in between. Another underrated positive...they didn't do that ridiculous thing where they let a bunch of millennials onto the field to create a pit crowd effect. Just the physical set (which was ingenius) and the dancers/artists. Nailed it. Top five.

- Felt like Al Michaels had lost a little off his fastball last night. Not with the game call necessarily, but with pregame, halftime, and postgame stuff. And he made a comment towards the end that made me think he'll hang it up before NBC gets it again. One of my all-time favorite voices on the mic. And the voice of the Reds pre-Marty...a lot of people forget that.

- Invited the in-laws (I know, I know...but I like mine) over for the game last night. They're ideal in that situation. My F-I-L knows football, and my M-I-L doesn't provide annoying commentary/questions. Made for a detour from the usual menu, however. No buffalo chicken dip, but instead those little baked ham/cheese sliders on Hawaiian rolls, and then some kind of tator tot waffle thing that ended up being more like latkes. Not traditional SB food, but ended up being really good.

- Hamilton tickets secured. At least for one night, Dad's gonna be the hero around here.

I mainly feel bad because once they got to the 50 everything was so mismanaged and even Joe lost his cool a little but the play calls were trash!

All the bad calls/no calls it was there for the taking so I don’t even consider all that. You know 10-15 more yards and McPherson wasn’t missing.

just damn! Glad the kids up there aren’t in school today because it would be a movie day.

Made some grippos-seasoned chili and grilled hot dogs on the Weber kettle last night in honor of MY Cincinnati bengals. Much better than skyline imo. Will have some leftover chili the rest of the week.

College basketballs resurgence has been fun. I was among the many writing it’s obituary the last few seasons. I guess all it takes is having lots of good teams that play fun styles and some big coaching personalities. When’s the last time the SEC has has a coaching group this interesting ? Feels like we’re approaching the attitude era of SEC basketball and I’m here for it.

my 10yo is starting to become a problem
On the hardwood. 17 points and 3/4 from 3 point land last time out. Bro just has that swagger man. Love to see it!!

The Athletic annual anonymous coaches article

Kentucky - “They’re the best team in our league. Before, they were a team of individuals, but now their roles are defined and they count on each other. They went into Kansas and beat the **** out of them. That’s not normal. This might be John Calipari’s best coaching job. Everyone talks about the one-and-dones, but he’s got transfers from Davidson, Creighton and Georgia. TyTy Washington has a level of confidence that’s unusual for a freshman. Oscar Tshiebwe is not as bad as people think he is offensively. If he’s alone at 15 to 18 feet, that’s a bucket. I don’t think Keion Brooks is a tough kid, but he’s extremely skilled and can make a 15-, 17-footer very consistently. Getting to their bench is key. If Sahvir Wheeler drives the paint, you’d rather him shoot than pass. If you can neutralize Kellan Grady and Davion Mintz, jump shooting can be a concern for them. TyTy is not a high-level 3-point shooter. You can still get Tshiebwe in foul trouble. He doesn’t defend ball screens very well, but he’s an elite rim runner. He’ll outrun your point guard to the rim. That’s where Wheeler is special, in the open court.”

Most people think Michaels is leaving NBC and they’re elevating Tirico. He hasn’t signed a new deal but the thinking is he’s headed to Amazon to do the Thursday Night games with their exclusive contract starting next year.

Your average GYERO basketball knew all of this long ago.

Chase and Burrow were elite in that game. The Rams made defensive line adjustments with regard to how they brought pressure in the second half and abused the Bengal’s OL, as many predicted would happen, but did not happen much the first two quarters. That was the difference.

Stafford demonstrated this year that he was a super bowl caliber QB stuck for years in a pathetic organization. Happy he got his ring.

Agreed, wish the Bengals had countered with more jumbo packages, screens, dump offs to rbs and runs outside the edge.

- I've said it before, but Enes Freedom has the biggest set of onions in the sports world. Good little interview with him about what he's about.

- Going to the first concert I've been to since the pandemic shut down the universe this weekend. Last show I saw was Small Town Murder in Cincy in November 2019, and last actual musical act I saw before that was Ghost at the Palace in October 2018. Seems apropos to get back to it with Ghost.

My Valentine's present to fiancé was telling him I was going by myself because I know he would 10/10 hate everything about the show. Double win for me because I actually prefer to go to concerts alone.

- This Bengals team reminds me so much of the 2014 Cats. Crazy young, crazy talented, got hot at the right time, just couldn't seal the deal. Bright things ahead, and I hope the organization follows UK's journey to shaking off the gremlins of history to truly believe they deserve to be there and to avoid buying into "well, this is just our luck."

I don't trust Mike Brown to not screw it up, but I can think of at least one SEC o-linemen who might fit nicely in formation with Joey Brr. Kinnard to the Bengals, pls.

- Speaking of UK, the #22onMe commercial has me ready to straight through a wall like the Kool Aid Man. LFG.

- I have no idea who Charlie Kirk is but I'm enjoying the hell out of his well-deserved roasting post-halftime show. Just lol at complaining at that show being hypersexual. I hope Snoop crip walks into his dreams.

I'm not the half-time show demographic they want, 25-50 year old range. So, I don't watch it, nor do I watch any other lip synching half time act with kids knelt before them waving sparklers, wearing glitter and whatever else the choreographer comes up with. Nothing I'd complain about if anyone thought about it rationally and what the SB is trying to accomplish, meaning bring in viewers who barely watch football but will tune in for the half-time show and commercials.

But if the Sugar Hill Gang, Grand Master Flash and the Beastie Boys were out there....
