Thanks to everyone who purchased Pardon My Book. Appreciate it more than you know.
And apologies to everyone who is a #1 NYT bestseller after us. We’ve completely devalued it)
With the 157th pick in the 2015 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select CJ Uzomah, Tight End, Auburn
The rest is history 🏆
History has a way of repeating itself and there’s no place I’d want to formally announce my retirement, than the place that started it all for me and gave me my chance. The place I will always think of as my second home and will always hold a special place in me and my family’s heart. The place where we won a playoff game for the first time since before I was born, and went on an odds defying run to the Super Bowl. A place I’ve met people who have become like brothers to me. Cincinnati, thank you for everything.
Who Dey Forever
"There is a chance Sal Stewart will have 30 home runs and 100 RBI, and you are going to tell me he is not the absolute blown-away front-runner because you got a guy that everybody says is fielding good? Come on, man!"
-Jeff Brantley on the Reds radio broadcast
Terry Francona on Sal Stewart’s homer today: “Sal was leading off. It was after a long inning. He asked if he should take one because a lot of times after a long inning you don’t want to have a quick inning. I said I want you to hit one into the right field stands.”
Sal homered to left field.
Francona joked, “He never listens.”
Committed to our future. ✔️

Five observations from Day 1 of #Bengals camp:
1. Dexter Lawrence to Joe Burrow at the start of practice:
“I wanna see it today Mr. Burrow.”
Joe’s response:
“You can see it every day brother”
I asked Dexter about that exchange after practice.
“Somebody has to challenge the King of the Jungle as they say,” said Lawrence. “Somebody has to keep him on edge in order for him to get better and grow. That competitive spirit won’t stop. And with a guy like that, I know he’s going to bring it. It’s going to be fun.”
