@LanceMcAlister Turns out we’ve been to a game together… 😂 I was 9. Was my 2nd Reds game. The 1st was Pete’s first game back in 84. Total luck on both.

Driving back and forth from Carmel to Riverfront three straight nights w/ dad as we tracked Pete Rose's pursuit of 4192........seeing it on the third night.

@pauldehnerjr How much do you usually reduce the 1st year hit in the mock offseason sheet? (As I sit here updating Mafe from 12M to 20M... :) )

All eyes on LB for the #Bengals with Devin Lloyd hanging out there. If gauging the price by what we've seen (especially with latest Walker/Dean spike) his APY likely lands between $15-$18M. Would be historical for position from Cincy. Of course, so was their LB play last year.

@pauldehnerjr Chenal was who I had in my mock offseason and I'm sticking with him.

@pauldehnerjr And with a Burrow restructure.

@pauldehnerjr I think 100k is a reasonable grace amount. With no Burrow restructure and no tag/trade.

@ByJayMorrison I’m so sorry for your loss, Jay.

Some unfortunate news to share:

@pauldehnerjr So… do I wake up XMas morning with a special gift? An early release of the Mock Offseason spreadsheet? We might as well get an early start… 🤣

@sarahflo8611 @MLB @MLBONFOX @Reds @MLBTV @fox28columbus @FanDuelSN Not as a free game.

@Dranscript @MLB @MLBONFOX @Reds @MLBTV @fox28columbus @FanDuelSN It’s on MLBTV. Watching it now in cbus.

@MLB @MLBONFOX Please make the @Reds game tonight an @MLBTV Free Game of the Day WITHOUT blackout in Columbus since @fox28columbus chose not to air it. Incredibly frustrating for Columbus Reds fans (especially those of us who already pay for @FanDuelSN).

@LanceMcAlister @MoEgger @CharlieG__ Columbus Reds fans getting screwed today. @fox28columbus choosing to show the Guardians game and not the Reds.

@ByJayMorrison Hope everything goes well for your wife, Jay. Sending wishes of health and recovery!

Mentioned this on the Walkout, but I want to repeat it here so you don't wonder where I went. My wife is having a procedure and will need my help with her recovery, so I won't be at Saturday's game, or on the pod, or at practices for a couple of weeks. I hope to do some writing once she's home and resting, but it's tentative. I plan to be back on the beat full time for the practices leading up to the opener.

P.S. The other movie you were thinking of with the journalist making stuff up is Shattered Glass.

@CharlieG__ When you go to watch Almost Famous, watch the Untitled director’s cut. It’s worth searching out (it’s available again after the 4kBR release). It’s significantly better than the originally released version.

@Reds Felt the need to circle back and say… thank-you for finally doing a direct streaming option this year.

@Reds Waiting to give you money… cnbc.com/2024/04/29/pit…

@BillSimmons re:Rewatchables Mailbag… “What is the all-time holy shit, they’re really going for this?” The rain of frogs in Magnolia. End of list.

@JayMorrisonATH Now I feel like an idiot. Of course the Chiefs right now. 🤦🏻‍♂️

@JayMorrisonATH Have any teams gone Super Bowl loss, Conf Championship loss, Super Bowl win, as the Bengals are trying to do this year?

Last call for the stats mailbag
