Nothing the Bengals do ever seems important. They could win the Super Bowl, land on Mars or prove cold fusion, and it would be meh.

Should be logical fallacies and Bears previews today! Perhaps even logical fallacies concerning Bears previews!

"Fictitious people everywhere think Lovie will get outcoached, but fictitious people are idiots."
"I have a Lions guy who says this team has some serious problems under the surface."
"The Lions are bad at football because they're bad at football."

aaaand so much more.

A funny tweet:


It's funny because it's true, as is the mental image of Cincinnati Bengals in lab coats, high-fiving one another after a successful Mars mission. They should've sent Cedric Benson to Mars. And then left him there.

Random thought that occurred to me after the 10 Seconds of Glory thing on Friday, and then listening to Weekend Edition yesterday: imagine if people could call the show--or any show, really--via skype or smartphone apps so that they would have a "clear line" to the studio. This would put the caller, if only auditorily speaking, on a level playing field with the hosts, and fundamentally change the dynamic of caller radio. Sure, the host could still hold or drop the caller as he pleased, but it wouldn't be one clear voice versus one tinny, distorted voice. I think it would be very interesting. They'd never do it.

10 Seconds of Glory is really just voice mail, right? I don't see what the big deal is.

It's part of the Audio Roadshow APP for those who have IPhones & Androids. It's not quite voicemail, but I don't have either an IPhone or an Android.

The Android app is in development thus it's not available.

Get some more bite and then report back.

Thanks for the clarification.

I'm aware of that, which is why I said it's really just voice mail. Explaining in my post that it's part of the Audio Roadshow app was not necessary, and neither was your post.

SHARK, can you confirm his question?

?????

Odd point by Bernsy. While I also cant stand much of pregame bullshit, saying "what's the point of pregame" is a dangerous stance. What exactly will B&B be doing today, but basically previewing the game?

Terry implying last night's game stunk because the ratings were not good. Doesn't Dan shout down callers who reference bad ratings? Why. Do. You. Care. How. Many. People. Were. Watching?

Depends. If we're talking about an NBA game outdrawing an NHL game, then he cares a lot.

My transformation into SomeGuy is nearly complete.

Which one? Game 6 of the NLCS or the "Sunday Night Football" game with the Steelers & Bengals?

I don't disagree with Dan about the content of the pre-game shows, but some of the things he's talking about apply to B&B's show.

Grab-ass
Fake laughing
Fake conflict
More laughing at things that aren't funny
Nothing of substance said

-If you like pre-game you're an idiot.
-If you're not on Twitter you're at a competitive disadvantage in fantasy football.
-I have to check Pitchf/X before commenting on Vogelsong's pitching performance.

Oh yeah. I find zero substance in pregame, therefore I don't watch. But like Illini guy said, it's basically what B&B will be doing today, with less zing.

Oh god, today is off to an amazing start:

Today's going to funbad, so I think I'm going to stick around.

Noone on B&B- especially with Goff gone - can dare match the Stu Scott sideline pimp walk, possibly the most ridiculous thing of the night.
