Give it up to #Bengals punter Ryan Rehkow. Sunday, he pinned the Ravens at their 3, 6, 12, and 6 yard line. Last season, he averaged 50.5 yards per punt, 2nd best in the NFL. But he tied for the NFL lead with 11 touchbacks. This season, he's averaging 45.1 yards per punt, but he has zero touchbacks. First two seasons: 16 touchbacks on 118 punts. This season: 0 touchbacks on 20 punts.

An ugly first half spills over into a beautiful second half. What a turnaround! @Bengals crush the @Ravens 35-13. It's the 10th time in NFL history a team gets shutout in the first half and scores at least 35 in the second half.

Passing: Tyler Huntley 209 yards; Joe Burrow 35 yards. It's the Zay Flowers' show (6 catches, 120 yards, 1 TD). The Bengals' LBs and DBs are getting carved up like a Thanksgiving Day turkey.

Ugliest half of football I've seen from the @Bengals in a long time. @Ravens are in total control 13-0. They're 8 of 11 in third-down conversions. They've out-gained Cincinnati 258-59. And they've hogged the ball for 22:20 to the Bengals' 7:40.

Hey Chick, I'm a daytonian and I remember speaking to you on the phone about Bengals stuff back in 1998. I'm glad to see you still around and I hope you're doing well.

It's cool that they play actual baseball in extra innings during the postseason.

If not for the emergence of Dohnte Meyers and drafting of Colbie Young, Tinsley would have been a part of the #Bengals WR rotation just as he was last year. With Iosivas and Young hurt this becomes the obvious, smoothest move.

A return: Bengals are signing WR Mitch Tinsley off the Texans practice squad and on to their active roster. Tinsley was in Cincinnati’s camp this summer, but signed with Houston’s practice squad. And now he is back.

Time to move on after Ohio State's debacle. Bengals legend Jim Breech joins me in-studio today from 5:30-8:30 PM for Post Game Sports Talk following @Bengals-Bucs. You can hear us on @espn1530 with @700wlw joining the party after Reds-Brewers. Who Dey!

Anyone blaming the kicker who went 3-of-4 on FGs is missing. This was a masterclass of how *not* to coach football in the second half. Passive. Imagineless. Awful.

Awoke this morning pretending the 4th quarter in Austin, Texas, never happened. But it did. Since beating Michigan on Nov. 29, 2025, the #Buckeyes are 1-3 with losses to Indiana (13-10) and Miami, Fla., (24-14) in December, and Saturday night's meltdown against Texas (24-23).

Thank you! Yes, stayed in @EmoryUniversity (AKA Coca‑Cola® U!) dorm. I only wish Emory had fed us! We were 'Cox Olympians!' Got paid by our separate newspapers. Cox gave all us Olympians $300 stipend for the month. Many blew their allowance quickly! I nursed mine! Great memories!

The @Reds 12-8 win over Milwaukee was a nice pick-me-up after @WMU_Football got done dirty in CFB's Crime of the Century on Saturday night. The Reds' W marked their first home series win over the @Brewers since May 2022, snapping a streak of 9 straight home series Ls.

Man I feel so bad for those Western Michigan Kids! They got hosed man. You cant defend the refs. They even said it on the broadcast. Indefensible!

Western Michigan only has 4 plays over 10 yards and they are about to beat Michigan at the big house. Dominated the time of possession, didn't turn it over, and capitalized on some huge mistakes by Michigan.
