Maybe it's because I'm a Cincinnati transplant and haven't really spent my life "living and breathing" the Bengals front office quirks - but I can't believe they are going to open Mandatory Minicamp with the best defensive end in football holding out publicly and their #1 overall draft pick refusing to participate because of contract language.

what world do these people live in?

Lots of people dunking on this but its rhe elephant in the room and there will be different approaches at first. I don't have a problem with this as long as they understand this will need to be constantly reevaluated and not the usual "let's realize some inevitable future" and then not adjust for it when it doesn't come to pass.

The boy and I are going to Firestone next Friday for the Champions (Senior) tour event, simply because he wants to see John Daly . Cool thing is that since its a senior tour event, the tickets are cheap ($32), and since he's under 18, he's free to get in. Should be a fun way to spend a Friday afternoon. The really cool part that I haven't told him yet, is that I'm still friends with some members, so we'll have clubhouse access without paying for it. Its not a really big deal, just opens up the whole place (minus locker room) so chance to maybe meet some of the guys.

You've got to powder the marbles!

I have a bit different understanding of the delay, but perhaps I missed something. In the early days, TCUN repeatedly indicated that they would fight the NCAA in court, with the apparent blessing of their President. The fan base went all in. The head coach and then the University refused to cooperate, pretending that it all revolved around an improper meal at first and then around only Stalions stealing signs, when in reality it involves federal level computer hacking crimes and a massive abuse of student university and private records and athletic training resources.



So, I understood that the prudent way forward for the NCAA would be to cross every t and dot every i, so that a legal challenge to their penalties could not be grounded in some procedural issue. Not a day early. Every chance to respond. No chance to escape punishment.
