The Bengals had the worst pass rush in the NFL last year. This move immediately fixes that problem. S

Pass rush don't mean shite if you don't have 2nd and 3rd levels guys who can cover long enough for it to get home. They literally just tried this with Hendrickson and their defense was still horrible. They need as many high level OL as they can get.

Only the bengals would make this stupid arse trade. Joe has to force a trade before this season

I don't think you're familiar with how Lane works. No position is guaranteed. They just look at total spend on a position.

Easily wearable for any activity, the Supportive Short combines lightweight comfort with medical-grade support for your lower back, hips, and sacroiliac joints. Its sleek, low-profile design ensures a discreet fit under any clothing, so you can move confidently without bulk.

Obviously the 9" inseam would be an issue for all OT'ers, unlike the price tag.

I had completely forgotten about 3L cokes. I guess they stopped making them because they went flat before most people could finish them.

While we're on food, kids these days will never know the crispness of a freshly cracked Surge on a hot summer day.

ETA: and infrared freeze flavored Powerade.

They have rain delays almost every year, which contributes to none of the big players not wanting to play the event.

Not trying to deflect, but this is the fallout of marshals not doing their job further up the course. I find they tend to ignore the groups of 4-6 who slow down the whole course for everyone, typically because they're members or regulars and they're buddies with them.

I've golfed for over 20 years, including many muni courses, and pace of play and golf etiquette has never been as bad as it is now. Too many casuals who have no interest in learning the rules.

I mean there's no way they're getting rid of him without cause anytime soon.

That being said, he's being paid more, given more staff budget, and given more NIL money than McMahon got.

Did you actually watch any games this season? He was the backup PG and became starting PG for most of the SEC schedule after Thomas went out.

Not many portal point guards coming in with SEC experience, including taking important end of game shots.

Yikes...between this and no signees from the initial list of portal contacts, not a great start. Hopefully things turn around quick.

Crazy how far ahead SpaceX eight years ago with the falcon heavy double booster landing. They don’t seem so far ahead now.

Blue Origin isn't even swimming in the same pool as SpaceX as it comes to a sustainable lunar presence. Is it possible they get a simplified apollo-style lander on Artemis IV? Sure. Will they replace Starship's mass launching capability for future missions? Absolutely not.

Both Blue Origin and NASA/SLS are only capable of half (or less than 1/3 in BO's case) of what Starship will be able to do.

Starship has 2x the takeoff thrust of the SLS rocket that just launched and 3-4x the mass launching capability of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket.
