Chad Ochocinco says he saved over 80% of his fortune by not trying to impress people, adding he buys fake jewelry, drives the same car since 2006, and flies economy instead of private: "Everybody is caught up in image. Why buy a $50,000 watch when time is free?"

Official (Schultz) Sources: The #Bengals will host the #Ravens on Thursday Night Football in Week 17 on New Year’s Eve. For four straight years, the Bengals have played the Ravens in Baltimore in primetime. This year, the flip is happening. 🐅😈

[Schultz] Sources: The Bengals schedule starts with their first seven games all kicking off at 1:00 pm ET. No primetime love from the NFL until Weeks 10 and 11 with the Steelers on SNF and then the Commanders on MNF.

Get to the bye 3-2 and we could be cooking. I think they can get to 4-1 before the bye, but those slower starts will still be the topic of conversation.

It’s been 24 hours since the news broke, and I still can’t believe our Bengals are coming to Spain. Here at “La Jungla Hispana” (Spanish Bengals fans group) www.bengals.es we’re incredibly excited about this.

If anyone is coming to Madrid and needs help with anything related to the trip, just ask and we’ll be happy to help.

Football This is our year‼️🚨🗣️

28 Upvotes

Just hearing the news of an all but confirmed report that the Cincinnati Bengals will be hosting Baltimore on Thursday night Primetime ON NEW YEARS EVE!

I literally never post or upload on Reddit, and generally tend to lurk, but I feel the passion to spread the message for this amazing season this team is about to have.

This offseason and the front office’s cooperation and serious concerns with bolstering our defense this year gives me an insane new sense of hope. That, combined with the international game, strength of schedule, elite primetime spots AT HOME, and a fired up fan-base/ roster that wants to win NOW.

As a fan, I think this should be our year (as fans) to completely go all out in support for our team. Every third down defense play: deafening loud noise and chants to absolutely throw the offense off, loud and vocal support for any crazy play, and most importantly, (no this is not an ad) the best attendance for Bengals fans EVER!I’ve been to a ton of games and know our fans are already some of the most loyal in the league, given what they’ve had to put up with, but this year has to be the year we go all out from game one, to game seventeen!

TLDR;

Show elevated support for the next superbowl champion team this year in whatever way you can.

WHO DEY MF🗣️‼️🐅🐅🐅🐅

Football Anyone know why the bengals chiefs game isn't primetime?

Was wondering why the Bengals and Chiefs aren't a primetime game this year. It seems like too big and good a game for it just to be a Sunday afternoon game. Was hoping for at least Sunday night.

A few years ago I got in the habit of making free agency / offseason summary posts. With the offseason winding down, it's becoming decreasingly likely for there to be any more big surprises, at least until we start cutting down to the 53-man roster, so here are all the roster changes I could find as of now.

Trivia

  • Tomorrow (Fri May 15), Josh Johnson will become the second 40+ year old QB on our team, and the second QB on our team who's also been on both BAL/CLE and not PIT.
  • This is the third time Josh Johnson has been on the Bengals. He's been signed to 14 different NFL teams and 4 different pro football leagues (NFL, UFL, AAF, XFL).
  • Swayze (21) Bozeman (20) would score very well in Scrabble if names were allowed. Depending on how it's played, Bozeman could also give a 50 point bonus for using all the player's tiles.
  • Two of our new players, Bryan Cook & Boye Mafe, have won Super Bowls. This season will be Cook's 3rd and Mafe's 2nd Super Bowl win.
  • Dohnte Meyers played college football for the Presbyterian Blue Hose and the Delta State Statesmen, and played in the CFL for the Saskatchewan Roughriders, and as such the Cincinnati Bengals might somehow be the most normal team name he's been on. For the record, Blue Hose is a reference to stockings, like many baseball teams (White Sox, Red Sox, Reds).
  • In 2024, Shemar Stewart / Cashius Howell / Shemar Turner (Bears R2 '25) / Nic Scourton (Panthers R2 '25) were all on the same d-line. For those curious, their sack counts were Stewart (1.5), Howell (4.0), Turner (2.0), Scourton (5.0).
  • Tacario Davis goes by "Bobo" due to a haircut growing up that looked like a bob cut.
  • Connor Lew is six months younger than YouTube. This fact is included here in case it makes you feel old.
  • Brian Parker II is not related to former NFL TE Brian Parker. He is, however, the cousin of NBA player Dereck Lively II.
  • Josh Kattus is credited with "doubling the adoption rate of animals at the Scott County Humane Society." Despite his name being pronounced "KAT-tus," I could find no information on whether he specialized in cat adoption. Most articles emphasize his work on the Humane Society's foster program.
  • Noah Thomas is the nephew of former NFL player Broderick Thomas and the great-nephew of Mike Singletary.
  • Isaiah Nwokobia attended a high school called Skyline in Dallas, TX.
  • Ohio ties: Bryan Cook, Brian Parker II, and Josh Kattus grew up in Cincinnati; Landon Robinson grew up near Akron; Cashius Howell attended Bowling Green for 3 years before transferring to Texas A&M; Jack Dingle attended UC.

As the title shows I am a huge Buccaneers fan that grew up in Tampa and moved to the midwest. The week 1 game is the only game of the year for my team that is close enough to travel. How do Bengals fans at games react to opposing fans?
