I remember the meltdowns that were had after the TB game in '06 (rightfully so).
The Justin Smith/roughing the passer game?
What an absolutely horrible call

No, I’m not still bitter about that game…

I started reading threads on the mothership board in Fall 2006 but didn't join the board and start posting until 2010, if you can believe that.

See I didn't wait when I started posting in 2008. My firsts posts on the mothership was breaking a Golden Rule which I learned very quickly.... "Do Not Argue with Fredtoast".

Congrats you two on being The Golden Goose HoF class. (Did someone already make that joke?)

Congrats guys, honestly I think this is overdue. You've both been great assets to the board for years.

That reminds me of the old Proverb: Let he who has not argued with Fredtoast cast the first stone.

People talk about the motherboard and my mind goes back to JoefromFlo and that supposed Steeler fan (whose name I can NOT remember) who went through and formatted their posts weird and couldn't spell "Rooneys" correctly ("Yeah, I'm on the Roonies Christmas Card list"). Some good times back then. The Smack forum was the place to be. Best NFL forum by far. Now, TheBengalsBoard has taken that mantle.

Awesome selections....and probably a bit overdue. These are two of the best contributors to football discussions on this board.
Goose always has the numbers most of us are too lazy to look for these days. Excellent with stats and putting them together in a way that makes a lot of sense.
I love AUs insights on film and what we're seeing on the field. Great knowledge of the game, and has a damn good eye.
I find myself repping both of these guys quite a bit. That's because they're teaching me things on a regular basis. Outstanding picks for the Hall, and congratulations to both!

There are certain members on the old board and early times on this board who have been absent for a few years that I wish would come back.
Wolfkaosaun
RoyleRedlegs/Berserker
Certain Bengals media/personalities that have become prominent also used to frequent these boards at one time, IIRC.
Zac Taylor 2019-2020: 6 total wins
Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. Ended 9-8 but barely missed playoffs
Changes needed to do better in Sept/Oct moving forward.
Sorry for Party Rocking!

Au165 and Killer Goose are among my favorite posters of all time and extremely deserving of this award. I’m proud to be in this support group, I mean on this message board, with them.
