Report: Marvin Lewis Is Leaving The Bengals After This Season
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, the second-longest tenured head coach in the NFL, is stepping down after this season to “pursue other opportunities,” according to Adam Schefter. Lewis is currently in the final year of his Bengals contract and reportedly has no desire to sign a new one. F...
That Was Bad Football
A grimy football game can be fun, sometimes. Messy, brutal, even a little bit of dirty play can raise the stakes, or at least turn a game into a car wreck that can’t be looked away from. Steelers-Bengals was not fun....
Vontaze Burfict Triumphantly Exits Field After First Career Ejection
Vontaze Burfict caught what was surprisingly his first-ever NFL ejection in the first half of today’s Bengals game against the Titans. He didn’t seem to mind:...
Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...
Report: Jaguars Security Prevented Jalen Ramsey From Fighting A.J. Green In The Locker Room<em></em>
Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey and Bengals receiver A.J. Green were ejected from Sunday’s game after Green choked and punched Ramsey. It was a moment of purposeful violence in a sport that is perpetually trying to control uncontrollable brutality....
A.J. Green Chokes, Punches Jalen Ramsey After His Late Shove; Both Players Ejected
Just before halftime in today’s Bengals-Jaguars game, Jacksonville cornerback Jalen Ramsey gave A.J. Green a little shove at the end of a play. The Bengals receiver absolutely lost it....
Report: The Browns Are Huge Idiots Who Didn't File Paperwork But Also Maybe Sabotaged Their Own Trade
The Bengals almost traded backup QB A.J. McCarron to the Browns Tuesday, but the deal didn’t go through. Adam Schefter reported that Cleveland had missed the 4 p.m. deadline. The Browns still have a dismal QB depth chart, and now they’re also getting roasted by anonymous sources willing to detail pr...
Report: Browns Forget To Complete QB Trade Like A Bunch Of Big Dumbasses
The Browns tried to get in on an unusually busy NFL trade deadline by making a somewhat inexplicable deal with the Bengals for backup QB A.J. McCarron. They weren’t even able to pull that off, according to Adam Schefter:...

Surprise, Vontaze Burfict Kicked A Guy [Update]
Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict and the Steelers renewed acquaintances Sunday, and it took all of 43 seconds of game time for Burfict to do something that may warrant another suspension. Even for Burfict, that’s pretty efficient....
Cincinnati Wasn't Always This Bad Off
Welcome to the Deadspin 25, a college football poll that strives to be more democratic and less useless than every other preseason poll. Leading up to the college football season kickoff, we will give you previews of the 25 teams that you, the readers, voted to be most worthy of writing about. Now, ...
Billy Hamilton Was Picked Off At First And Still Scored A Run
Billy Hamilton, who leads MLB in stolen bases, was a little too eager to get another one Sunday against the Red Sox, as the Reds’ center fielder found himself in a pickle after he jumped on a pickoff throw. Dustin Pedroia’s error, however, not only bailed Hamilton out, but allowed him to get all the...
Luke Farrell Pitched A Scoreless Inning Against His Dad's Team, Like A Real Ingrate
Last night, John Farrell’s playoff-bound Boston Red Sox used a strong outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and some timely hitting to take a 5-0 lead into the ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, who are playing out the string on a lost season. Almost nothing was at stake in this game, but it still fo...
Reds, Padres, Mariners, Rockies Announce Plans To Expand Protective Netting
The Reds, Padres and Mariners announced today that they would be expanding protective netting at their ballparks, while the Rockies said that they were in talks to set official plans to do so. The announcements came one day after a young girl was struck by a line drive at Yankee Stadium and hospital...
The Bengals Still Have Plenty Of Problems On Offense
Ken Zampese’s 18-game tenure as Bengals offensive coordinator effectively ended late Thursday night, when star wide receiver A.J. Green went off about the unit’s rather staggering ineptitude so far this season....
The Bengals Can't Score And A.J. Green Is Tired Of It
With their 13-9 loss to the Texans last night, the Bengals have achieved some ignominious ineffectuality marks. They’re the first NFL team to play their first two games at home and fail to score a touchdown since 1939. This is also the first time Cincinnati has gone two straight games without findin...
The Final Play Of Tonight's NFL Game, As Called By Wrestling Legend "J.R." Jim Ross
Tonight’s Thursday Night Football game between the Texans and Bengals was, with a few exceptions, your typical awful weeknight NFL action. The Aussie rules-style final play, and its equally down-under level game-ending tackle by J.J. Watt, though, deserved our closer attention....
Bryan Price And Umpires Pause Argument For "God Bless America"
Not much worth paying attention to in Redsland these days, with Cincinnati dead last in the NL Central despite Sunday’s 10-5 win over the Mets. The rare exception? Manager Bryan Price’s beef with umpires, and the question of whether he’d keep it up in the face of the impending rendition of “God Bles...
Andy Dalton Stunk And Then Got A Hat Thrown At Him
It’s almost impossible to have a conversation about the NFL that doesn’t include a discussion of how many bad quarterbacks are in the league. But something gets lost when focusing this talk on just the Scott Tolziens and Josh McCowns of the world, and that’s the reality that many NFL quarterbacks wh...
The Vontaze Burfict Rule Is A Confusing Mess
The NFL’s decision to suspend Bengals linebacker Vontaze Burfict five games for his illegal hit on Chiefs fullback Anthony Sherman resulted from a new rule that will also be a point of emphasis for officials this year. (Let’s go ahead and informally name the rule after Burfict, in the grand traditio...
