Comment on Cincinnati Bengals Release Safety Chris Crocker by Chuck Chapman

It’s possible if Barron slides that far, but from what Marvin has said, they’re really happy with Taylor Mays. Crocker was tough, but broke down physically in the second half of the season the last two years. I see this as a cut that allows him to pursue other options while the team goes in another direction.

Do you think they would look Safety before Cornerback? When I did my first round Mock Draft earlier, I was trying to figure it out…

Honestly, this was a bit of a surprise with their cap space, is there something more going on behind the scenes? I will admit, I think Sands is going to be a player and wish he would have ended up in Pittsburgh last season.

Comment on Free Agent Choices at Cornerback not That Appealing by Chuck Chapman

Didn’t know that on Thomas. I don’t see the Niners letting Rogers get loose. If he did, obviously he’d be on the list.

TYI, it’s Thomas’ second ACL on the same knee.

Carlos Rodgers is also FA.

Yes, Georgia Frontierre inherited the Rams when Carroll Rosenbloom died. She’s since passed on herself, and Eddie DeBartolo’s sister (I think) controlled the Niners briefly. Welcome to the network!

I didn’t even know there’d been female owners.

Interesting post and good for the Bengals.
I’m new to the SM101 network, I’ve got to say it’s pretty good.

He was actually picked up late november while preparing to be a teacher !

Comment on Mike Brown not to Blame for TJ Yates’ Parents Bad Seats by Chuck Chapman

Neither Mike Brown nor the ushers have ever asked anyone to move unless they were a)causing a disruption or b) sitting in an occupied seat. Trust me, I’ve been there both myself and with the players’ families. Those seats are the ones allotted before the season begins because they’re not part of any season ticket package and they’re generally away from the home team’s fans which cuts down on any friction they might receive as visitors. Happens every week in every stadium in the NFL.

The players do pay for those seats out of their own pockets. Occasionally, if they have a connection with a player on the home team, they may buy some better seats off of them, but that’s a rare exception.

Thanks for reading.

I do believe most of what you say is true. However, I do believe that Brown did ask the parents to move back to their original seat after they moved up. It sets a bad precedent when someone takes better seats than they got if you can see the people move on TV. If you are a casual fan, they won’t stop you from moving up simply because it isn’t worth the effort. However, if you are the parents of the visiting team’s starting quarterback, they won’t let you move up since it sets a bad precedent on national television.
