Bengals-Rams: Running Super Bowl LVI thread

[ChrisLong]

My favorite Cowherd take was that teams should draft quarterbacks based on attractiveness, because it made for self-confidence.

LeBatard's celebrity pickers this season, filled with people who know nothing about football, were 10 games better against the spread than Cowherd's weekly picks this season.

Remember in "Moneyball" when the scout said one of their minor league players wasn't a competitor, didn't want to compete. Brad Pitt asks him how he knows. Scout says: His girlfriend is ugly. If he was a competitor, he'd get a better-looking girlfriend.

OK, I did not expect an NFL team owner to do something like this … but Jim Irsay is weird.

Is it possible he snorted a couple lines of coke and thinks he owns the Bengals now?

To his credit, Irsay does stuff like this all the time. Can't be many other NFL owners that do.

And I'll be submitting my own embarrassing RT to this soon. Hey, someone's gotta win.

At 10 a.m.?

[Realizes we're talking about Jim Irsay]

Yeah, maybe.

Just because somebody has a stupid theory doesn't mean Cowherd has to repeat it.

The Washington Commanders? Waited 2 years for that?

That's a shirt nickname.

I would be in favor of a federal law that media folks, print, radio and TV, be required to bet their own money on every NFL pick they make. Sum needn't be a lot, but it can't be like five bucks, either.

With most media folks, they don't have a lot to put up.

Waiting for headline writers to shorten it to Commies. They already wear red.

When they get shut out, they went Command0

Helluva day in the NFL - starts with Brady, the Brady backlash, the Commanders leak, the Flores bomb and now Harbaugh - what will we be talking about on Thursday?

 

[bigpern23]

I kinda like the Commanders.
