Cincinnati Bengals (Same Ole Bengals)



Pros:
Really cool to play in Bernabeau - one of the planets most legendary stadiums
Week 8 game in Europe likely means Week 9 bye week. I like that! Bye week in the middle of the season is always nice.
Decent mild weather. Cincinnati isn't frigid in November (I live here) but we avoid a cold weather game.

Cons:
I'm so sick of NFL Europe games. This is the fourth time in five years Atlanta has had to go abroad (2x London, 1x Berlin, 1x Madrid)
We lose a home game for this
Miss me with the "grow the game" nonsense. I know why we were chosen. Atlanta host Spain 2x in group play and (likely) 1x in knockout stages in the World Cup. This is some messed up type of international corporate synergy where some knob at the NFL office said "Hey! They'll love the Falcons once they play twice in the Benz! Hate it.

Airport annoyances

Airline flight delayed for bizarre reason as humanoid robot triggers safety query

Bebop the robot drew crowds by dancing at the gate before a lithium battery issue grounded it temporarily

A Southwest Airlines flight was delayed for about an hour recently for a most unusual reason.

A humanoid robot had been brought on board as a passenger. But it couldn't take to the skies right away.

The 75-pound robot, named Bebop, was traveling from Oakland, California, to San Diego on Thursday, April 30 — and attracted a crowd at the gate as it danced for everyone before boarding.

"A lot of people came, took videos and had their kids come and give it high-fives," Eily Ben-Abraham, an employee with Elite Event Robotics of Dallas, Texas, told Fox News Digital. Elite Event Robotics rents out interactive robots for events.

The delay in the flight stemmed from an issue with the robot’s battery — which exceeded airline limits, the company said.

HC Ryan Day (B1G Coach of Year, B1G Champion, National Champion)

You can limit the players ability to earn a living right after you do the same to the coaches.

Show me one coach who has ever gone on one of their moralizing rants and said other coaches need to be restricted in movement and income.

Just one please.

You can't



Sorry Ryan, I know you are probably coming from a good place but coaches don't have the right to a soap box on this while you have Lane Kiffin in your fraternity.

Columbus Blue Jackets (Official Thread)

Charlie Coyle signed a six-year, $36 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday. It has an average annual value of $6 million.

The 34-year-old center had 58 points (20 goals, 38 assists) in 82 games with the Blue Jackets this season, his first with them after being acquired in a trade with the Colorado Avalanche on June 27, 2025.

"I've seen what we have," Coyle said. "I've seen our potential and I'm excited for it and it's something I want to be here for and work towards and the team we have, the depth we have, it's something that excites me and something that I want to be a part of going forward, and something that we can build because it's there. I know it's there."

Coyle could have become an unrestricted free agent July 1.

"When you go back to last year when we made the trade for Charlie, we said we were looking for a right-hand shot center and certainly we were happy to make the trade," Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said. "But then having Charlie all this year, getting to know him as a not only as a player, but as a person, we knew that he cares about the team, cares about winning, and cares about the community so when we met at the end of the season and talked to all the players, Charlie was very clear that if there's that opportunity and we can work it out, he'd like to stay."
