Draft grades aside, the Bengals have a strong argument for best offseason. ▪︎ Pro Bowl DTs Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen ▪︎ SB champs Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook ▪︎ 2025 unanimous All-American edge Cashius Howell ▪︎ 2 young centers with a lot of upside for Joe Burrow

I coached Treydan during his freshman and sophomore years of high school. I can't take any credit for the player he's become, but I'm proud to have played a tiny role in his football journey. The Raiders got a special one. Salute to @treydannn and @MillenniumFB.

I'm seeing a lot of people saying the Bengals overpaid for Dexter Lawrence. Cincinnati now has the best defensive tackle in football for at least the next three years. Who cares about the draft pick? Lol.

This is the best take I've seen on the drama surrounding Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley. Salute to @JerryBrewer for a job well done.

83 points is wild. What a night for Bam Adebayo. His previous career-highs: ▪︎ 41 at Nets on Jan. 23, 2021 (L) ▪︎ 38 vs. Wizards on Nov. 25, 2022 (W) ▪︎ 38 vs. Pacers on Feb. 8, 2023 (W) ▪︎ 36 vs. Spurs on Feb. 26, 2022 (W) ▪︎ 34 at Cavs on March 5, 2025 (L)

In light of Alec Pierce agreeing to a four-year, $116 million deal to stay with the Colts, it seems like a great time to bring back this tweet. At least one team had doubts about Pierce when he was coming out of Cincinnati. That team does not reside in Indianapolis.

Cincinnati's Baba Miller is starting to gain real traction on NBA draft boards. While eyes were fixated on possible No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa last night, Miller had his 3rd 15-10-5 (15 Pts, 12 Reb, 5 Ast) game of the season, the most by a Cincinnati player over the past 30 seasons.

Cincinnati's 16-point win (84-68) at No. 8 Kansas is the Bearcats' first double-digit road victory vs. an AP top-10 team in school history. It's also the largest by an unranked team at Allen Fieldhouse since Iowa State won by 24 (89-65) on March 10, 1973.

The entire @chicagobulls social media team needs a raise. The content leading up to Derrick Rose's jersey retirement has been phenomenal. Salute.

Age when hired as Steelers head coach: Chuck Noll, 37 Bill Cowher, 34 Mike Tomlin, 34 Mike McCarthy, 62

Cincinnati, which defeated No. 2 Iowa State on Saturday, faces No. 1 Arizona tonight. The Bearcats seek their first win against an AP No. 1 team since upsetting Duke in the championship game of the Great Alaska Shootout on Nov. 28, 1998.

16-0. Immortality. Like it or not, believe it or not, we now have to talk about the 2025 Indiana Hoosiers as being one of the greatest teams ever. Curt Cignetti's truly miracle group will be stitched into the fabric of sports memory forever.

Sean McDermott went 98-50 and won 10+ games in 7 straight seasons in Buffalo. But the Bills have an elite QB, see that the Patriots are about to be a serious problem and have decided to move with urgency. Meanwhile, the Bengals decided to stick to status quo and keep Zac Taylor.

BUILD IT!

Bengals director of player personnel Duke Tobin spoke for more than an hour today. I'm not sure these words will land well with the fan base. Cincinnati clearly has elite, championship-caliber players (Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins), but a championship-caliber team?

My godson threw down his first in-game dunk tonight. He's just getting started. Y'all show him some love 👇🏽

That instead of winning, every team would rather compete to see who can most impressively maintain the status quo. (For those wondering: Wes Miller's buyout drops from $9.9M to $4.69M on April 1.)
