Catching up late with Chad Dotson and Chris Garber on last week's Redleg Radio podcast, and I think the analogy you guys were looking for is, "David Bell is a 100 WRC+ manager. Exactly 100."

Ordered a small coffee this morning. Paid for a small coffee. Received a large coffee. Currently trying to decide if the barista made a mistake, or just really gets me.

OK, Chad Dotson : If the Cincinnati Reds front office actively weakens the team again, am I allowed to pick an AL team to root for with my son until Bob sells? We wouldn't stop rooting for the Reds, because #Ring4Joey ... Just a chance to root for someone who might win, too. Need a ruling.

"Dad, what's a Golden Shower?" My record collection seems likely to get us through every uncomfortable conversation well before puberty ends (today's contribution courtesy of Garbage Version 2.0)!

Following Cincinnati Reds GM Nick Krall's statements today, Kevin Costner was spotted at Great American Ballpark. Word is he's been brought in to help Krall craft "more coherent empty platitudes." And possibly platoon with Tyler Stephenson.

Thank you to the Cincinnati Reds for being so open about not trying to win. Always a proud member of Redleg Nation, but also just bought my first Tampa Bay Rays hat. Because I can't spend another year watching players bust their asses while the front office fails them.

On behalf of a grateful nation, I'd like to thank @GOPLeader for reminding us what a filibuster is SUPPOSED to look like. Still not sure what the hell that thing is Senator Joe Manchin keeps throwing his weight behind.

That's it.

So I know it's not the important part of this discussion, but if we have to spend the next six months talking about the #omicron variant, the name feels a bit long. And the O Variant sounds like science-themed porn from the 90s. Taking suggestions.

I grew up a Bengals fan. Had season tickets in the Carson Palmer era. Gave up on them in 2009 because sports should be fun, and they hadn't been in a long time. I can't claim the feelings of the long-suffering who stuck it out. But I'm so happy for all of Cincinnati. WHO DEY!!

Is it really gonna be the San Francisco 49ers again?

Who Dey. That is all.

So. Anyone under 35 on here understand ANY of the Super Bowl commercials?

Huh. The refs found their flags.

So if I'm Burrow, I just start slinging, because suddenly, every time the defense looks at a receiver, it's a penalty.

I stopped watching football about four years ago, because I felt like the officials had become too infuriating a part of the game. I came back to it tonight because my hometown team was in the Super Bowl. Thank you to the NFL for validating me.

Fun fact: Tonight's winning pitcher, Brandon Woodruff now has as many wins this season as the Cincinnati Reds. #reds #MLB #SellTheTeamBob

I'm saying it. Extend David Bell. 4.5 seasons. Two over .500 (#Reds only have six of those since 2000). One (2022) where Casey Stengel wouldn't have managed to .500. And ... This season. I hope Twitter is complaining about his lineups and bullpen use for years to come.
