Listening to sportcasters right now is hilarious

One of this comments was the fact that his broadcast team never got to do a Bengals game this season. He said they were all set to do one. All the Bengals had to do was win the Jets game and they would have been flexed to a game his team was doing. (I guess to a Sunday night.) They never expected the Bengals to lose and so were beginning to do some prep.

He said the Bengals to a lot of the sports world are an unknown entity, because they had so few primetime games.

So if I’m a professional, I spend some time watching the competitors’ previous games, especially in the playoffs and the end of the season. I mean, it’s my job to be knowledgeable, right? Cris’ assertion might hold water the first couple of days after the CGs, but even then not so much, to me, anyway.
