    I'd propose a wing eating contest, but since this was a Bengals home game, a chili eating contest between the offensive lines would be more appropriate.

    You can’t submit anyone who isn’t from ohio to skyline chili. That’s considered torture in lots of places

    Yeah jongguy there isn't an NFL team in the league that would agree to play back to back games on consecutive days

    Skyline chili isn’t chili. But whatever it is, it’s good

    I’ve never heard of Garrett Bush before. He makes a strong argument for guaranteed contracts for NFL players.
    Because rich has nothing to do with money.

    Yeah, I'm not up on Cleveland sports radio hosts but he covered that one pretty damn well.

    G Bush, host of The Barbershop on Saturday mornings on the CLE sports talk station I stream down here online, 92.3 The Fan. Solid guy to listen to - the entire station is actually some of the best original sports programming around period, morning show to midnight. You may recognize a couple of his cohosts there in Jay Crawford formerly of Sportscenter and Adam the Bull formerly of WFAN in NYC.

    He’s not wrong at all. Of the 4 (5?) major sports leagues in this country, no other has the proven ability to chew up new talent so effectively and leave them broken and broke in short order while simultaneously printing billions for its stakeholders

    How's that any different than the way corporate America chews up miners, construxtion workers, farm laborers, oil field workers--and a lot of other people who do jobs more dangerous than playing football for a lot less money. What happened to Darren Hamlin happens every day in America, just not on TV.

    Well, two points here.

    1. He's comparing sports leagues to sports leagues. The NFL is by far the most dangerous and leads to shorter careers as a result. And yet it's the only league where contracts aren't fully guaranteed despite it being the most profitable (outside of international soccer). That's just BS.

    2. With all due respect to laborers / blue collar workers, to make it in the NFL or other pro sports leagues you are actually pretty special. You are indeed a unique snowflake. You have to be a truly elite athlete to even sniff getting that far. Even guys sitting on the bench that barely get playing time are amazing athletes. To quote Brian Scalabrine's vicious burn to some loudmouth fan: “I’m way closer to LeBron than you are to me." It doesn't make them more important but it's particularly sad to see someone special fall in the prime of his/her youth.

    To put things in perspective for the corporate pension and 25 year gold plated Bulova watch crowd, corporations in America today have a strong aversion to workers getting injured and killed. We now have copious amounts of sensitivity training, stress counseling, and mental health days off.

    I even had to remind Wooley once that working conditions in his family bra factory in Troy back in 1890 weren't as bad as when the Jews were building the great pyramids.

    Good? I'd say it's edible...not that it's good. At no point in the multiple times I've been to Cinci have I really had a desire to get Skyline Chili. It's not like when I go to Texas and crave Texas BBQ.
    Damn shame, throwing away a perfectly good white boy like that

    I like Skyline Chili but can't say my digestive system shares that sentiment.

    I'm going to have to strenuously disagree.

    I can't cross that bridge over the Ohio River without making a stop for some Skyline. You can eat Skyline for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Skyline has fantastic hot sauce. Babies have been baptized in Skyline (probably). Sitting at the counter at Skyline before seeing some fantastic college bball is a tradition like no other. So is eating Skyline at 1am after a dozen beers.

    So in gastronomic equivalents, Buffalo/Rochester has it's garbage plate and Cincy has it's...well, whatever it's called?

    It's a play on the garbage plate*, with a better sauce. It correlates well with a higher BAC. Standard Rust Belt comfort food. It's alright.

    Hamlin is "neurologically intact" and showing "remarkable improvement". Thank goodness.

    Perhaps we have an eating contest Adam Richman style to settle this? Josh and a garbage plate vs. Joe and a Skyline chili.

    This is the NFL thread. You want the coal miner thread.

    Not sure why one has to be put against the other. I want both of them to have safe and lucrative working environments

    The 32 NFL teams are worth ~$100 billion combined and just the NFL itself has annual revenues of ~$20 billion. If anyone should be getting paid it's the fucking athletes.

    This is the only fair way to settle it.

    Chris Borland retired after just one season with the San Francisco 49ers out of concern for his safety
