Good morning, everybody. Today is Friday, August 19th, continuing on with NFL team previews here on the Simple Handicap.

Today, looking at the Cincinnati Bengals, another AFC North team. We looked at the Browns yesterday.

Bengals today, a lot more excited to do this preview than I am to Cleveland Browns yesterday.

But before I get into the Bengals, just want to put out a disclaimer

that the recaps on Twitter, well, the recaps within Telegram may be a little bit quieter this

weekend. And I know depending on the results, that is going to lead people to thinking one thing or

another after the results of last week. And the fact is that I am traveling on Friday afternoon, a little bit later after

recording this podcast, and that will be away for Saturday and Sunday.

Not going to Las Vegas.

The Circa event is next weekend, going to Saskatchewan to see a very good friend of

mine who had his first baby with his wife, or soon-to-be wife,

fiance at the moment, and we're going to play a round of golf on Saturday. So it's a quick trip

for me away and back, but if there is anything one way or another with the results, I will get

to the full recap, but if there is a delay, don't freak out.

Saying that for the sake of keeping everybody nice and level as we finish up the week here

on a Friday morning. As I did mention, Circa Millions and Circus Survivor sign up weekend,

contest weekend at Circus Sports next weekend. By this time next week, I will be in

Las Vegas. A lot going on Friday, a lot of fun. And then Saturday, of course, 4 p.m. at Circa.

The football preview panel, Mike Palm is hosting, Brian Erlacker, Sean King, Chris Bennett,

and myself breaking down everything you want and need to know about the NFL

season, going to be a great sort of quartet. It's well called a quartet of personalities, personas,

and viewpoints on everything in the league. So if you're down at Circa, drop me a DM,
