Will Arming them help?

The buzz here in the Bengals locker room is Joe Burrow’s Xmas gift to the offensive line — custom Japanese Samurai *Katana* swords which date back to the 1600s.

Karras, Brown Jr. & Co. pretty pumped about it.

Epic gift alert: Joe Burrow gifted his offensive linemen authentic Japanese Katana swords.

They are all unique. Each sword comes with its own story, from certain towns or battles. He put them all in a room and had them pick theirs out.

“Joe does a great job at buying gifts…

The subliminal message might be "go old school on them, cut the legs from under them".

Were they out of seppuku knives?

I have a Japanese koshi-nata that I use for cutting trees. It's technically an axe but shaped more like a machete. It's made very similar to how katanas are made and it's frickin' wicked. Getting real katanas would be awesome.

They don’t deserve much more than a toddlers plastic butter knife.

Sign three 450lb+ Mongolian Sumo wrestlers for our interior OL.

I think he would get better results buying them authentic kamikaze headbands.

I think that you might not understand the custom of QBs getting their OL gifts, as a reward for their protection. Even though some of the PFF grades might not reflect it, this was Burrow's most protected year as a professional. I can't recall the exact numbers, but Ochocinco's posted it in another thread.

Batmobile... 1600s Katanas... Swimsuit models... Burrow's into some crazy stuff. A pity Bobby Hart and Michael Jordan aren't here to commit sepukku.

Here's Trent Brown's

[Nicomo Cosca]

That’s probably one of the coolest OL gifts I’ve ever heard of.

A little more generous than Dan Marino:

You do have to admit that he came up with something unique
