Idk, he looked fine before that Clowney hit.


Regardless this is basically it for the Bengals and more importantly there goes my favorite QB to watch in the current NFL :smith:


Steelers just punched their ticket to the playoffs between Burrow and Watson being out and the Bills choking. The Vikings might’ve just gotten an easier road as well since the Bengals were their hardest remaining game outside the division

That doesn't attract enough business. As much as people hate it the ESPN model is the most successful and the thing fans respond to most.

It absolutely attracts enough business so long as you’re not capitalism brained into believing profits have to go up at ever increasing rates in perpetuity.

It’s super frustrating to watch good businesses set up successful systems only to get bought out by a conglomerate that ruins the original product in a search for ever greater profits.

Boy that'd be a terrible way to run something like say hospitals.

Shush you filthy hippy, you’ll die from an easily treatable illness after being driven to bankruptcy and you’ll like it

I was kind of under the impression that the Athletic was always structured the way it was, pay top dollar to attract top tier sports journalism talent and make yourself an elite name in sports coverage as a loss leader, with the intention to get bought by some bigger entity and then parachute the gently caress outta there the instant the ink was dry.

The Athletic specifically was a venture capital funded project so they were almost always going to be pushed into a sale but they were pulling in ~$80M in revenue the year they sold. Even if they were unprofitable at the time that’s a pretty healthy revenue stream they could’ve stuck with had they been interested in doing normal operational cost controls like reducing their insane marketing spend. I mean they straight up proved the subscription model is a viable business for media and helped spawn the worker owned sites that have been popping up now.
