Yet something like 85% can't.  I am just saying that there is a massive miscalculation on how they should prepare for their lives post football.  I have empathy for people that lack that education.  I wish the NFL had a more substantial pension program like a social security that helped protect these  players from poor personal finance.

Apple isn’t good and hopefully this team can make a run at a playoff spot and Wayne’s might help. I won’t criticize the Bengals if Wayne’s doesn’t work out. I’ve criticized the Bengals my whole life for not trying to make the team better I’m thrilled they have actually been aggressive in free agency and with trades. So far Hendricks, Reader, Hilton, Awuzie, Hill, and Reiff have been major contributors.

Yup! Hopefully Brown doesn't shy away from big name FA’s because of this one example out of many. The same reason why I’m not bashing them. They got a heck of a lot more right than wrong this time around. That excellent for this organization. And if he gets healthy down the stretch that’s even better.

I’m frustrated he’s injured again, but I’m sure he is too. I hope.

we got the "trae trey train" in full gear with Tre Flowers replacing trae waynes and possibly starting trey hill next to trey hopkins and practicing against trey hendrickson. So im assuming trey or trae was an uber popular name some 25 yrs ago? and we almost signed that guard Trae Turner.
