Actually, I think the better question is there anyone intentionally NOT posting in the GameDay thread?

I checked out the last couple of weeks of last season. I have my daughter every Sunday, and figured it was better to do things that she likes with her instead of wasting 3 hours on a sinking ship. They aren't sunk this season yet... And it's Monday.

This sure doesn't feel the same as Steelers weeks have for the last decade and a half though.

Tonight I need to stream though, so that is out, but I'm still not posting!

Like last week against Buffalo, i'll start off 100% on the game with the laptop closed. If it gets bad, like it did last week, i'll jump in the Gameday thread to up my personal entertainment value. 

And hopefully, no one will threaten to beat me up.

That's why I start out in the GameDay thread. It's pure entertainment. To see the bipolarity (is that a word) that goes on from when the Bengals do poorly to when they do well, it almost makes it worth seeing the Bengals lose. Almost.

The kind that feels like every time he watches, they lose.  I'm trying to break the jinx... call me superstitious, but I'll try ANYTHING at this point.

But what makes you think it’s your fault and not mine or somebody else’s? You seem awfully full of yourself to think the bengals only lose because of you lol jk...only one person is to blame for the Bengals always losing and he’s probably too cheap to have internet connection to be able to post on this free message board

You do realize that that's a load of bull, right? The Bengals will win or lose based on a lot of factors but not a single one of them has to do with who is or is not watching the game.

The outcome tonight will be the same no matter if you watch it or not.

The game will be on 5.1 with an over the air antenna , 505 on Cincinnati Bell Fioptics , 1005 on Spectrum.  Pregame show "Ready to Roar" starts at 7pm on channel 5. Hope you see the game, if not I'm sure someone will post a link to a stream of it.

[BigPapaKain]

I'll have it on, but I imagine I'll be paying more attention to WWE or Overwatch than the game.

[Devils Advocate]

Is the game on locally?

Nvm. Answered two posts above

Edit 2)
Is it airing locally in Dayton?

My wife is like that during UK Basketball games. She's always there near the TV listening, but she won't watch cause she thinks it jinxs them. She'll listen and play games on her phone.

I'll be watching with the sound down and the radio up with Lap and Dan. I can't handle Booger McFarland. I don't care if there's a few seconds difference. It's kind of cool knowing what's going to happen before I see it (unless it's something bad).

After you murdered the English language, I was initially sad and yet I laughed because I realized that polarity essentially describes presence of two distinct charges AND certain species of bear.

Then I became enraged, because I realized that being simultaneously sad and joyful, is not healthy.

Currently, I am visualizing the outcome of throwing a tiger and a steel worker in a cage...........just for kicks.
