The idea there is a “war on protein” is just precious. Something to chuckle about the next time I pass the protein laced Pop-tarts at Kroger.

Just circling back to this one because Day 1 of the offseason the #Bengals announced they’re retaining both head coach Zac Taylor and director of player personnel Duke Tobin and Taylor stated he didn’t foresee any changes with the coaching staff. We’re off to great starts, everyone.
I look forward to the #Bengals talking a lot over the offseason about improving and doing things better while simultaneously doing nothing at all to address the problems plaguing them.

It’s worth noting The Wallflowers did a cover of Bowie’s “Heroes” and it’s very, very good. Sadly the only place you can find it is on YouTube and the Godzilla (1998) Soundtrack I have in a box somewhere in my basement.

I’d like to see the whole “FAFO” thing die in 2026. It was only kind of funny for half a minute with the middle-aged dude and his whiteboard explaining it, but it’s really run its course and we can pack that one in now.

I actually enjoyed the #StrangerThings finale. The season was kinda overwrought with some bad writing, but the finale had some elevated moments and overall was a satisfying conclusion. To borrow from Wayne Campbell, “They did the Return of the King ending.”
