I like the fact that the Bengals did address some stuff on the defense..
Can the offense stay healthy and can they protect Joe Burrow" ~ @miketirico#PMSLive
A boy once sent a Christmas gift to a girl in the Philippines, and 15 years later she tracked him down on Facebook—and they ended up getting married.
In 2000, seven-year-old Tyrel Wolfe from Idaho sent a Christmas shoebox through Operation Christmas Child, which was received by a young girl in the Philippines named Joana Marchan. Inside the gift, he included a photo of himself in cowboy gear—something Joana held onto for years, even after her thank-you letter never made it back.
More than a decade later, in 2011, Joana searched his name on Facebook and reached out. After reconnecting, they began talking regularly, eventually forming a long-distance relationship that led Tyrel to visit her in Manila. The two married in 2014 in Idaho, completing a remarkable full-circle story that began with a simple holiday gift.

85 years ago today, in the freezing grey water between Iceland and Greenland, the most famous warship in the world died in under three minutes.
HMS Hood. 48,000 tons. The pride of the Royal Navy for twenty years. The ship British schoolchildren drew in their notebooks. "The Mighty Hood."
She was hunting the Bismarck.
At 05:52 on 24 May 1941, Vice Admiral Lancelot Holland gave the order to open fire at 26,500 yards. He was closing the range hard on purpose, because Hood's weak deck armor could not survive shells falling from above at long range. He needed flat trajectories, and he needed them fast.
He was three minutes too slow.
Bismarck's fifth salvo straddled Hood as she turned to bring her rear guns to bear. A single 15-inch shell punched through her thin armored deck and detonated her aft magazines.
Witnesses on Prince of Wales described a column of flame that rose higher than the mainmast, eerily silent at first, the sound arriving a moment later. Hood broke in two. Her stern rose vertically out of the sea, guns still pointed at the sky, and slid under. Her bow followed.
Of 1,418 men aboard, three survived.
Signalman Ted Briggs, Able Seaman Bob Tilburn, Midshipman Bill Dundas. They floated on a raft of debris in near-freezing water, watching their ship's oil burn around them, until the destroyer Electra found them two hours later. Briggs was 18 years old. He lived until 2008, the last man who had stood on the Mighty Hood.
The Bismarck won the battle. But Prince of Wales, only just commissioned with shipyard workers still aboard fixing her main guns, had landed three hits before retreating. One ruptured a forward fuel tank. Bismarck began trailing oil across the Atlantic like a wounded animal.
Churchill's order to the fleet was simple. Sink the Bismarck.
Every available British warship turned to the chase. Three days later, at the edge of the Bay of Biscay, a Swordfish biplane from HMS Ark Royal, flying through a gale at near sea level, dropped a torpedo that jammed Bismarck's rudder hard to port. She could only steam in a slow circle, straight back into the Royal Navy.
King George V and Rodney closed at dawn on 27 May. They fired on her for ninety minutes. Bismarck absorbed over 400 shells and at least a dozen torpedoes before she rolled over and went down with roughly 2,200 of her crew.
The Royal Navy answered for Hood in 72 hours.

We join the rest of the sports world in mourning the tragic passing of NASCAR legend Kyle Busch.
In 2025, Kyle threw out the first pitch at MLB’s Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones.
"We're sending the whole team a message. 'Hey, we got a window. We're about to go try to take that window right now. Everybody lock-in and let's go.'"
Former NFL vet Andrew Whitworth shares his thoughts on the Bengals trading for Dexter Lawrence 🏈
(via @patmcafeeshow)
Ted Karras on Dexter Lawrence “Probably best nose tackle in last 30 years… combination of size, speed and agility… another big guy from Clemson, reminds you of Refrigerator Perry. Maybe we should give him the ball a little bit too.”
"I take most pride in just burying the guy in front of me ... You can't lose that attitude of choking somebody out & burying them."
- Dexter Lawrence
I've said for years... The Bengals need a guy who will die before he misses a tackle – A guy who's not afraid to play a nasty brand of football – And holds others to the same standard.
Dexter Lawrence should fill that void.
