I'm on my way to Tokyo to cover the Olympics. As a former track and field athlete, it’s a dream come true to attend the Olympics. When I return, I will be starting a new chapter in my career as an NFL reporter for USA TODAY. I’m thrilled and humbled to receive the promotion.

Congrats and thanks for the coverage. Hopefully means we'll have a guy who understands the Bengals in a more national role. Should be good?

I wonder who will cover the Bengals for the Enquirer next.

Par for the course.
If the beat writer is any good, they likely aren't going to stay around for long unless they really love the Bengals/Cincinnati.

Best of luck to Tyler in his new role.

EDIT - Tyler does clarify in another tweet that his NFL coverage with USA Today will be across all teams, not a specific team.

Is there something mystical about the Bengals that the other national people miss?  I expect Burrow and the Bengals to be more relevant and interesting to the general NFL public this season, but there hain't been much to talk about lately that isn't negative and then you sound like a "hater."

Usually when I think of a national talking head mentioning a his/her favorite team it's a bit of a "woe is us" sort of laugh.

Don’t think I cared for that guy anyway, but good for him for getting a promotion

Most of the national talking heads I have heard so far this season say they expect the Bengals to be much better and surprise some people.

Wish him the best.
