Apparently John Ross has a charity flag football event that Snoop Dogg is involved with.
I hope that Ross does not get injured in this:

I was good with the article until I seen comments from Michael Vick. Dog closed the article and ran over and bit the neighbor. I will apologize to him tomorrow when I sober up.
Anyway, this would be stupid. Show your speed on the field and don't get hurt in stupid shenanigans like this that cost's your team. If he races, I see that as being selfish. I compare this to two fat guys with families and also high cholesterol and heart problems having an eating contest.

I would have never drafted this dude,instead Michael Thomas with the saints who by the way is a ohio state buckeye.Ross has done NOTHING to impresss me to be a first rounder and I think he will peter out sometime this year.I would keep Malone and tate and cut ross.he is an idiot.

Mike Brown and Zac Taylor need to put a big old NO stamp on this...… if they let him do it, he'll be out the season with hamstring injuries, just like his run at the combine.

Lots of panties in a wad over something that probably will never happen. Sometimes, it's just embarrassing to be a part of this group. Getting reamed over having a charity event. SMH. Don't know why I waste my time even coming here any more.

I'm more intrigued by John Ross having a celebrity basketball game. Basketball seems like a pretty good way to get hurt, moreso than running, but I'm no doctor so I could be wrong. Anyways, I guess by this time the race has already happened if it happened at all. How many torn this-n-that's does Ross have?

If people are this worried about Ross running a straight line in the off season, god forbid he ever tries to change direction. Or participate in non-contact drills like Jonah Williams.

Did you not watch his combine?

Michael Thomas and John Ross were in different draft classes...
If the Bengals would have drafted Thomas, it would have been in place of WJ3.
Although the team probably would have looked better with Thomas and Marshon Lattimore instead of Ross and WJ3, but you can't know for sure.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

I'm fine with it as long as he doesn't attempt to take a shower at home since most accidents happen in the home..

I read that my home was the most likely place for me to suffer a severe injury.
So I moved.

Well, if you're looking for a great excuse to be homeless....

It doesn't really take advanced intellect to know that if you're an offensive lineman, there's no such thing as a non-contact drill.

Does anyone find it odd that people get concerned about Ross injuring himself while running? Is the guy that fragile that he needs to be kept in a glass jar?
Frankly, he should be returning kicks for us. He was a very good returner in college his first two seasons.

I say it’s a waste of time and energy trying to bubble wrap the guy. Let him live and if he can’t survive a simple sprint then we can sooner move on from him and replace him with a real football player.

He's fragile. No doubt. He pulled his hamstring against the Saints last year running in space.
He's been out for atleast part of camp this year so far. No word on the injury.
I'd rather him focus on being a good WR. And playing in a basketball game? He doesn't need to do that.

If he's gonna get hurt running in a straight line what hope is there for a season of football? Let the guy have fun. Players do actually have lives that consist of other things besides just football. Should they all avoid eating food on the outside chance they MIGHT strangle on a string of spaghetti? They might accidentally drown on a glass of water, could "tweek" a muscle in bed and gawd forbid, they might go blind watching TV! We already know the dangers of jerking off and blindness! I only have a forehead and nose as a result!
