in the buzz.. season so i guess i can't be tired of talkin about 'em yet. the bengals beat the ravens last night 34 to 23.. with four touchdowns in the first half alone.. which i'd imagine is pretty exciting (if you're a football fan.. or an andy dalton fan, they say he has

understated toughness).. you won't get insight like this on espn folks. i guess we'll see just how tough aaron rogers is this weekend.. if he didn't already prove it last week when he limped off the field and came back and played lights out in a knee brace. we might not know if he'll take the field til the last minute.. i won't lose any lose sleep but it could mess up a lot of people who have him or the packers on their fantasy team.and if you're rooting for derek carr or jimmy-g... they're both in one piece and both still looking for their first wins. the only drama i could find was garapollo's backpack finally broke.. this is a new one: he had his old eastern illinois college bag for years.the shoulder strap finally gave out.. right before the 49ers first game. maybe that's why he threw three intercpetions.. he loved that back pack. snap out of it jimmy!!! a's lost one to baldamore yesterday so that

snaps their 6 game win streak. but it did give bob melvin a chance to take "clutch" to new levels. he said yesterday he was hoping pisoctty would come through because he's their "clutchest player".. and the game before that, he said he admired his "clutchness." and i admire anybody who can take a sport term from an adjective to a superlative to a noun. i'm now i'm woke. not the wokest. but a little woke, if you can be that. a lot of people say things that they don't really mean on social media.. play up rivalries for show on twitter or whatever.. but don't mess with gilbert arenas cuz he takes this stuff seriously.. arenas and short time warrior nick young used to play together on the wizards.. and they had on-going beef on youtube that ended with swaggy-p challenging him to a shoot-off. arenas showed up to

make good on it: he went to the gym with a bag full of money.. 100-thousand dollars.. but young didn't show up. he decided to take have the contest by himself and hit 95 out of 100 shots. nick says he didn't show cuz arenas never called him.. does he owe him or not? who knows if the whole youtube flap was just for show. do you know anything about betting etiquette?? i know nothing about etiquette.. my favorite game dinner table game is "would you rather" .. you know.. get hit by a freight train or be eaten by a shark.. eat a live bee or four
