George Preston Marshall’s spirit still haunts the NFL. The NFL’s un-ironic yet completely tone-deaf condemnation of racial inequality despite their actions during the Colin Kaepernick saga is the latest black mark on a league with a chequered history in its dealings with racial tensions. Add into this mix the...
The future’s bright, the future’s Orange (and black). I think I’ve just created a slogan… Every team has hope coming out of free agency and the draft, but it’s tough to deny that there’s been a change in Cincinnati and that things are looking brighter for the franchise. Did they earn...
