A Cincy Fan Talkin...

Spending the 1st episode of the New Year discussing why I wasn’t surprised about the Bengals keeping Taylor around, Ohio State bouncing Clemson or the NCAA bubbling March Madness. #blacklivesmatter all the time. 😷

How an unexpected win changes everything...and nothing. Plus why no one should have been surprised about anything regarding the CFP, loving that Verzuz battle and my update on distance learning. Promo: @tamara_the_dawn

Finally back! Discussing how Taylor is proving that he might not be the best fit for the #bengals, why the Group of 5 teams will never be part of the CFP, how it’s okay that Ohio State has only played 5 games and Nas better win a Grammy!!! #blackpodcaster #cincinnati

Covering why I expected the Bengals outcome against the Steelers, why the Bengals defense is bad but not "bad", and why the College Football Playoff is to blame for a fake punt.  Also, why I didn't get the PS5 on the drop and why the NCAA should and shouldn't have all 68 teams in the same city at the same time (hint...it's the same reason). #bengals #ps5 #ncaa #collegefootballplayoff #blackpodcast...

Explaining how sports showed how we should have known the election would be close. Plus, why I feel so conflicted about watching football during this pandemic. Promo: Crime Divers

Discussing what people should really be expecting from the Bengals this season as everything takes shape...and are the media/fans treating the Bengals poorly? Also, do people like positive people? Seriously...

Discussing how the Bengals could use a culture shift...and a fanbase thinking shift as well.  Plus, some thoughts on time.  With a verbal promo about the @core_xtra podcast.

Why every league crossing the finish line in their season doesn't necessarily mean they had a successful season in the age of a pandemic, why LeBron may (or may not) have had the best championship run of his career, and how I'm feeling about the virtual learning experience a month or so into it.

Discussing coronavirus fallout and if our Cincinnati sports teams are, in fact, cursed. Also reminiscing on how a job I hated as a kid ended up being a blessing in disguise.

Discussing why the Bengals won’t invent in the franchise, how the Reds can break a city curse, and some things I’ve been wondering about how the media covers politics and LeBron’s legacy.

I discuss how what we’re seeing now could have been this way a decade plus ago, and how the Big Ten is trying to be like their friends. Damn you Sony...shoutout to all my teacher homies!!! YIX5OxLamLkoLChrMOTS

On this episode I discuss how I was impressed and unimpressed with Burrow at the same time...exactly how I expected to be (rookie stuff). Also on the brain: why cable is the new dope game, how I almost got caught in a Trump rally, my ridiculously hard music playlist plan and one reason why the Fresh Prince reimagining can and can’t work. uIHvBd03japKriQovTmC

A Cincy Fan Talkin lists my top 4 things that I’m talkin about this week...and I almost forgot to put NFL Football. And didn’t really care. That tells you all you need to know about the year 2020. We’ll discuss...

A explanation of my week long social media silence. Plus why 2K trippin, but we still buying it.

Discussing how it’s typical to expect America to want football without sacrificing much to get it, and what coronavirus and Marlo Stanfield have in common. Also, why I’m not overly excited about the 1st Black...anything.

Discussing why I’m trying so hard to bite my tongue and say I told you so when it comes to College Football, since there are so many selfish people wanting different things. Also, a stroll down memory lane about how I was reminded that there’s beauty in the struggle.

Discussing how kneeling at sporting events formed a movement that shouldn’t end, and a vacation story. Remember vacations? Yeah...me either.

I take a quick dive into why a shortened season doesn’t mean a champ shouldn’t be a champ, why I haven’t been talking sports in a while, and why our “normal” will never be “normal” again.

Discussing how athletes and teachers are similar when it comes to coronavirus expectations. Plus, watching OITNB hits differently now.

Discussing how the response to coronavirus is typically and utterly American. Plus a slightly embarrassing story about myself and a pager.

Discussing the thorny issue of heading back to school given our current state of affairs in America today.

The debate on optimism vs realism and how too much of one is getting us in a whole lot of trouble. Oh...and happy 4th of July (or not)!

We’re discussing how all the sports leagues are beginning to come back online in the age of the Coronavirus and the effects it will have on the athletes and the fans.

Discussing why the Bengals are painting SOME of us fans in a corner. I mean...we suffered enough out here already with this franchise. Now this? 🤷🏾‍♂️

Discussing the fan-athlete dynamic and why covid-19 and the BLM movement is showing some of these fans true colors.
