...because it's football.
...because Lovepack predicts a Packer loss tonight.
...because Fedya is missing the game because he is at the Lon Chaney Film Festival down at the Roxy.

The second picture was my puberty.
In other words you have more hair in your nose and ears than on your head.
2 Wisconsin kids on that collision. Hope Watt is okay

The irony of aging.
Don't I know it.
Bengals just knocked JuJu off the logo.
Poetic justice.
Roethlisberger looks like Brees, washed up.
My goodness Big Ben looks done. Even Brees has more zip on his throws.
Can an 11-2 team be on it's heels?

I was thinking about this, but there are going to be more QBs that have started playoff games in three different decades this postseason than all other postseasons combined (defining decades as being from the 2000-09 and 2010-19 regular seasons).
Brady, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, and P. Rivers all started playoff games in the 2000s and 2010s before this year. Those 5 guys have started 107 playoff games among them.
I can only think of a couple of others that have started playoff games in 3 different decades. Peyton Manning started a playoff game after the 1999 season and also several in the 2000s and 2010s. Johnny Unitas had playoff starts in the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
What the heâll is going on with the Stillers?

âThis Steelers-Bengals game is like watching a younger brother realize he can beat up the older brotherâ
Carolina in the second half on Saturday when the Packers decided the game was over.
Go Bengals! And, Skyline chili is delicious.
Big Ben and Drew:
Down go the Steelers.
Happy to be wrong on my pick tonight. 
Big Ben wants to come back next year says announcer guy.

No matter how much money a person has, it's hard to walk away from 30 more million.
I'm now sorry I missed it, and with Finley starting. Can you imagine the hype if Burrow had been the QB?
I watched most of the game, bengals shure brought the wood tonight. there was a mike daniels sighting...on the bench.

It's a direct result of the all the rules now protecting QB's. Or I should say "protecting good QB's". From a health/safety POV it's never been easier to play the position.

It does make for better football if you like the strategy/scheme part of the game rather than the mano y mano matchups in the trenches.
Long term, the problem is the inequality of risk/reward (pay) for QBs versus the other positions. Superstar QBs are heading towards making 500 million dollars in their careers (Mahomes) and even above average guys (Cousins, Stafford) will exceed 200 million. Their injury risk is minimized, but a RB who has a huge injury risk and a shelf life of 4-5 years gets used up during a rookie contract and often has to hold out to get paid for a second contract. Aaron Jones has made 3.6 million total in his first 4 years.
You can say that the difference between the superstars and the other guys is the same as the NBA and MLB in terms of pay. But at least in those contexts, there is no difference in injury risk and minimal long-term health consequences. Thanasis A. (and end of the bench guys like him) gets 1.5 million a year to be a cheerleader and practice. The equivalent in the NFL (an end of roster guy) ends up playing special teams and is at high injury risk but makes 500K (or less if he's shuffled between the practice squad and the active roster) and lasts maybe a year or two.
"What do you want, socialist football?!".
Oh I'm certain there's a few dipshits around here who would love that concept.
There is a chain of Coney Islands in the Tulsa OK area. Though they all basically originated from the same family, the original shop in Downtown is the one I prefer.
They use a family-recipe chili (made fresh daily), and each are hand-built one at a time. For context, these are roughly palm-size, and the weiners and buns are as unique as the chili.
Skyline chili is rumored to be the closest match available to the masses, IF you're willing to pay the price (3-4X what others chilis cost).
Never been a fan of Coney Island chili sauce. Some guys love it... The chili dogs at Wienerschnitzel in Tucson, Arizona on E. Broadway are the best I've ever had.

Skyline chilli is dog food. So is Coney Island chili sauce. If you want to make chili. Talk to someone in Brownsville TX. Make that & put it on a dog. Or donât. Whatever. Skyline chili is the worst trash ever put into human circulation.
Worse than surstrÃķmming? Durian? Pineapple on pizza? Old Sarge's macrobiotic diet?
Bvan probably drinks moscato too.
No vino for me but have been know consume Mezcal and eat the worm.
