Yep the bet was the  Bengals wouldn't win 5 games that year. Not even the Homers had any hope that team could be good. Wasn't it called the realest vs the Homers?

I had a $100 bet with a friend that they'd win at least 8 games that year. I thought their schedule looked pretty easy that season, and I was huge on AJ Green, the defense, and I thought Andy Dalton would be really good.... Better than he turned out to be.

As much as some of us hate on Dalton he gave us similar production to Palmer for less money. Trade demand or not, the team had run it's course with Palmer. They weren't getting over the wall they hit in 2010.

Palmer had a lot to do with 2010 as well. The fact that he acted like he didn't throw a bunch of pick 6xs that year still erks me.

Frankly I was glad to see him go by that point... Chad and T.O. too. I've softened on Chad as the years have passed though.

It was originally a dish from the mexico (ish) area. What the greeks ****ed up is on them. Here that horrible attempt at chili is found in the Midwest.

You seem to be one of those people who are just hung up on the word "chili". It's really just hot dog sauce. Amazing hot dog sauce that only commies don't like*. 

*or folks from outside the region, who just aren't meant to "get it" anyway.

Actually, even Texans like Cincinnati chili.

We've retired to Mexico and we made the "dip" (cream cheese, Cincinnati chili and shredded cheese) for a "bring an appy" party.

It was gone in minutes and the 3-4 Texans who were there wanted the recipe!
