Delete superstition and ban irrational thinking is more like it. 

How do you know what's going through everyone's mind if you don't believe in that kinda stuff? I personally haven't thought about it until this gem of a thread....

Sounds like something a tribe in New Guinea might or a voodoo priest in Haiti might come up with.


Science > Superstition




P.S.  If you actually believe such shit, why don't you speak yourself a powerball lottery win into existence ?

Dumb.

What about the elephant in the OTHER room? I don't know who's in charge and put an elephant in there but I'm not cleaning that up.

Ok…everyone has poured on the poor guy. Let his bad thread die, and let him live to make a good one.

It was mentioned in another thread. I was not the first to express worry about Aaron Donald maybe trying to take cheap shots at Joe.  Why is a thread that ask a legitimate question about a supposedly dirty player's possible mindset a "gem" of a thread?

I'm still awaiting an answer to why it is a bad thread  to ask a pertinent question.  Donald has a reputation as being a dirty player. This is the Superbowl. High stakes. Would he be tempted to shortcut his way to a Superbowl ring? I've seen the same concern from other Bengals' fan on social media.  Just not sure why this is thought of as a bad question, unless those who think it is a bad question fear even the thought of the scenario.

Alright everyone, he doubled down.

Eat him alive and mail him your poop!

Name the last time a prominent player, let alone QB that was injured DURING the Super Bowl. Last one I can think of was Tim Krumrie and that was near the end of the game. And as good a player as he was, his injury is not the same as losing your starting QB.

So to answer your question, it is NOT a pertinent question because it never happens.

This thread is getting way too serious. I thought most of us replying with a "delete this thread" type post were mostly being superstitious and kidding around because we didn't want negative thoughts fluttering about in Bengals land.

You misspelled "early in the 1st quarter"

So, it never happens but you are worried that some dude on the internet can MAKE it happen by mentioning it on a message board? I bet televangelists have their way with you.

This thread is why I signed up to post here.

I hope to enjoy some football conversation with full respect to all of you - Bengals are a solid and great team.

But, guys - AD is not a dirty player. He is an amazing man and football player. I find it one hundred percent silly that such is being said about him.

My input as a Rams fan. I won't argue it - he is a good guy. Not a dirty player.

Just take a step back and look at all of the things that happen with football players in this league.

Karmara? Ruggs? Even your division rival QB Ben? Lot of boys who are bad.

AD? He is a good one. One of the best to play this game in character and skill.

Alice, like I said, I don't know anything about him. I was just stating what others had said about him. I just got to thinking that in a game with stakes as high as a SB ring, whether trying to remove a team's leader ever crosses the mind of an opposing player. I suspect it does.

Glad that I helped get you on board here.  Welcome!!!
