I know a lot of you think he's a terrible football writer and he really does deserve a lot of the knocks he takes, but the guy does have a knack for making you want to root for guys who's grandmothers and grandfathers had it tough..
File another of Hobsons stories under Germain Pratt's grandma and even great grandmother.. https://www.bengals.com/news/old-soul-pratt-eyes-new-role
I could write all day about how tough my own grandparents had it, but they would never turn me into a world class athlete.. Never underestimate the power of some somewhat interesting human interest feature story to make a player one of the all time greats, eh?
In no way do any of his stories make anyone a worse nor better player. I think at best it fills that off season hole in our otherwise boring time of awaiting the beginning of training camp..
There is writings out there about our 1st round pick and they are saying he could be done for the year, which is probably true because they are keeping it such a big big do not tell story.Could be shoulder,or chest injury.Just unbelievably to even hear this.I still say Cincy is snake bit and now I see a losing season Again. I think we will hear the truth the coming week.He is for sure injured and will miss time and he needs to be learning in real time.Players play 4 years in college and never have issues and come here and just die on the vine. :andy:
