They should have gone with ****ty Chili Stadium.

The Bengals will have a new name for their home stadium.

The facility formerly known as Paul Brown Stadium will now be called Paycor Stadium, the team announced Tuesday. The Bengals sold the stadium naming rights to Cincinnati-based Paycor, a company that specializes in human resources.

The agreement is for 16 years. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Fitting. Cincinnati has the energy of an HR office.

Surely you jest.

(BTW, "Zero Hour" was on TCM a few weeks ago. Oh boy)

IIRC the Zuckers tried to get the original cast but the studio blocked them.

The American Massage Therapy Association annual convention is in Cleveland later this month....

No wonder Watson was ok with a trade to the Browns.

It should be indefinite(jmho).

If they are real, he should be in jail. Kinda hard to debate that.

[SonofSouthie]

Note that they are trying to make it more, not less. Just want to point that out.

When Watson signed his latest contract with the Cleveland Browns franchise, nearly all of the allegations against him were public knowledge. The Browns signed him anyway after conducting what they called “extensive” research into Watson’s past transgressions.

Watson signed the highest fully guaranteed contract in NFL history at 5 years, $230 million, with an average annual value of $46 million per season. But Watson won’t be losing 35% of $46 million this season.

In anticipation of a likely suspension for at least part of the 2022 season, the Browns structured Watson’s contract so that he only makes $1,035,000 of his 5-year $230 million contract as a base salary in year one of his contract, according to sports contract website OverTheCap. Therefore, Watson will “only” forfeit 35% of $1.035 million in salary, amounting to a $345,000 loss.

So glad the NFL cares about sexual assault.
Make a $1500 bet? Gone for a year
Assault allegations with 23 payoffs? Meh...6 games.

I assume that this isn't the Happy Ending that Watson was initially looking for but it will do.

Shouldn't someone having used 24 different masseuses over the last few years (and probably even more out there) be a bit of a red flag that maybe they're after something ulterior?
