Sad there wasn't enough Shrine Bowl coverage this whole week...

Agree about the Shrine Bowl because, unlike the Pro Bowl, those kids are playing for something, whether it be auditioning for the NFL or just trying to play well in their last game ever.

I rank him among my fav Bengals players all time along with Chad Johnson and Boomer Esiason.

Baseball was one All-Star weekend I liked just because of the home run derby, and basketball wasn't bad just because of the dunk contest and you were sure to see big dunks in the game and other big plays, but football was like watching a special ed flag football game.

To both of you, I think a reason why I liked it so much is because it was a break from the normal football that we've seen all season and there was so much variety that it kept me engaged. You'd see a player do a drill and like watching him do things like when Burrow was throwing balls at those big circles with numbers that represented their value.

Sure, some big plays happen in the Pro Bowl are exciting, but not even like normal big plays because there's nothing riding on it (home field SB, but not many people care).

I loved Chad and Boomer, but I think Burrow has already surpassed them, and maybe so has Chase, and it will only get bigger when we win the ship!
