  1. The other stable of backs didn't do anything eye opening. Rex looked great tonight. Its going to be fun watching him progress and I for sure will be watching Bengals games this season. I hope they start throwing to him too and loved the great tackle tonight on special teams.

    I wouldn't get your hopes up, Rex did about the same as the other backs he just saw more touches. I honestly don't know what to think since he was the 5th back out, at this point unless he stands out in the next few games there's a good chance he could get cut.

     

    He won't be cut. He signed a 4 year contract for a little less than $2.3 mil. I agree that he won't be featured out of the crowded backfield this year, and unless there are significant injuries, at best he will get garbage duty on occasion. He might see some punt returns, but mostly special teams work in his rookie season. The Bengals signed him right away. So they know he is worth investing in and seeing what they can get out of him in the next few years. Keep the faith up,,,I'm sure Rex does.

     

    In the NFL this means zero...he could have signed for eleventy billion dollars and they could still cut him. Nothing in the league is guaranteed

  2. nothing new here but still a painful but proud read.

    In 1985, in the aftermath of the boldest single decision any college football coach has ever made, Tom Osborne published an autobiography titled More Than Winning. It is a book that somehow manages to be both brief and tedious, short on telling detail about his career as the head coach at Nebraska and long on religious platitudes and recountings of post-heart-surgery hospital enemas.1 It is dedicated in part to the Creator and thanks the Lord in the acknowledgements, in case He didn't get the message the first time; in the opening paragraph of the foreword, Osborne admits that the publishing company contacted him about a project, and that he "had many reservations" about writing a book at all.

    This is no one's fault, really, since Tom Osborne is a proudly undynamic guy whose long-term success has come to embody the spirit of one of the most proudly undynamic states in the union.2 The penultimate chapter in the book, "A Difficult Road to Walk," is an in-depth exploration of Osborne's Christianity — he notes that he never infringes on Sundays during the season, so his players can attend services, "Protestant, Catholic or Jewish"3 — and this chapter is far longer than his description of the thrilling Orange Bowl game played the year before, which is pretty much the only reason an autobiography of a midcareer college football coach from a sparsely populated state who had not yet won a national championship would be desired by a major publisher in the first place.

    Wrong thread? :dunno

     

    nope..the segment is about the picture we are talking about

    Really because all I heard was them talking about the riots in Brazil, The fight, and how Wisconsin is the Bizarro Nebraska. But I only listened to the whole 24 minutes once. Maybe you could kindly point me to the appropriate time in the segment.

    click on the link...then at the top of the pop up click unsportsmanlike conduct then segment 5 from yesterday
