Bengals, 41-year-old QB Joe Flacco agree on 1-year deal​

Joe Flacco is coming back for another season.

The 41-year-old quarterback has agreed to a one-year deal to stay with the Cincinnati Bengals, his agent, Joe Linta, told ESPN. Sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler the contract is for $6 million, but could be worth up to $9 million with incentives.

1998 Sparty. Fuck their punter.

Chose to become an Iron Buckeye instead of going to the Cruise, I'm impressed. Setting up a goal and actually achieving it might be the hardest thing in life. Good luck to Brandon! Hope he achieves his next goal.

Ohio State Guard Luke Montgomery on Michigan: "Thank Goodness I Didn't Go There"​

"Thank goodness I didn't go there," Montgomery said of Michigan on Tuesday. "Just with what's going on in the past few years. I think (the Wolverines) did a great job recruiting me. I wish them all the best, everyone on that staff and stuff like that. I hope that some of them find the Lord and can come back and be with the people they love. I wish them the best."

That's where they lose me with their argument. I keep trying to make sense of the logic of their position that a PT job outside of school at the local pizza place is okay, but getting a sponsorship from that same pizza shop is somehow out of control. All I do is just get my simple brain in knots.

I’m 71 I had a part time job. It’s not the 60s anymore.Let them collect on their NIL. Besides teens don’t feel safe in many situations anymore.

Buckeyes are now projected, in several mock drafts, to have 4 of the first 6 draft picks coming up. That's just insane.

It's also depressing as hell that we don't have an additional national title for it.

Is he a 5 star? Yes.
Is he generational like Jeremiah? No, but no one else has ever been.

Sources: Cincinnati to hire Utah State's Calhoun as coach​

Cincinnati is expected to hire Utah State's Jerrod Calhoun as its next head coach, sources told ESPN on Monday.

It marks a return home for Calhoun, an Ohio native who graduated from Cincinnati in 2004 and began his coaching career as a student assistant under Hall of Famer Bob Huggins as a senior in college.

Calhoun just led Utah State to the second round of the NCAA tournament, beating Villanova before falling to Arizona on Sunday night.

Utah State officials have been notified of his departure to Cincinnati, sources told ESPN, and per his contract, the school will be owed nearly $3.9 million, which it plans to use for potential candidates and the NIL pool for next season.

In two years at Utah State, Calhoun went 55-15, leading the Aggies to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances and a sweep of the Mountain West regular-season and conference tournament championships this season.

The good ole days

3 straight years not getting out of the first week on your home court, yikes.

Would have been a helluva year if Cotie stayed

Tough loss, but Wiscy was always the odds on favorite this year. They lose all their stars though while we have most coming back including all our Olympians which includes the top overall scorer (Svensson) and top goal scorer (Dunne). We should be the machine next year that Wiscy has been the last two.

It would sit easier but for the way last year’s championship game ended in regulation.

Arizona State gets St. Mary’s long time coach Randy Bennett.

The WCC may as well be dead with Gonzaga leaving and St. Mary’s likely unable to replace a coach at his level.

Ya'All remember I taught this lad everything he knows about wide receiver.........
Well Done Buckeye!

According to the trends........Arizona, Duke, or Michigan is going to win it all.

Since 2002, a team that finished in top 3 of KenPom has won it all except for 3 occasions.

2003 - Syracuse who had the best player in the country at the time, Carmelo Anthony
2011 - UConn who had the best/hottest player in the country at the time, Kemba Walker.
2014 - UConn......still have no clue how they won it that year. That was a weird year.

2014 UConn is unique. They did have the nation's #2 player that year according to Kenpom Shabazz Napier, but clearly they did it with a well-balanced team that played elite defense. Their final 3 games of the tournament that year they didn't give up more than 54 points in a game.

Absolutely remember an announcer, at one of Tiger's first PGA tournaments, suggesting that his 'reverse C' swing would injure his back. I kinda laughed, because that was what one aspired to. Anyway, after what, 6 back surgeries to date, Tiger is no longer a feared competitor in a tournament. It's been a minute since he was on Ryder Cup, President's Cup, or other honorary team. Anyway, my father is resting easier now that he's not going to take Jack's title of most Majors won.....

Ho-hum. kinda expected, no? Ty's teams are juggernauts, and we, the unwashed folk, very much expect W's. When it doesn't, then we're flabbergasted. Where's all the New Albany kids?

Looks like a Buckeye to me.

Good-bye Puff. We hardly knew ye.

Read a report (fake news?) that negotiations between Bjork and Diebs were going on, with the outcome determining whether new coach or not. My mind immediately said, 'not about salary', but about NIL money for the team. (Maybe more for assistants?) I guess in today's college world, it's apparent that one must 'put one's money where one's mouth is'. You cannot just mouth the words, 'we want our basketball team to equal our football team', or somesuch, gotta put some dollars behind it. Something we all see and know. tOSU funds, what, 36 collegiate sports, and only 3-4 are revenue generators, yet we take pride in the diversity. Kinda an obvious question, but wouldn't one want to stimulate those three-four revenue generators to make even more money? Anyway, some mental masturbation for a Monday morning.
