I hear the ticking, too; sister says it sounds like someone rhythmically typing on a phone. God fuck this is annoying. Thought 60 Minutes was on CBS.

Is it possibly for game clock purposes, time between plays?
A fan with some cowbell-ish device? Spoons maybe.

You'd think someone at FOX would notice this and shut off the mic that's picking up that ticking/clanking.

Whatever ticking you guys are complaining about, go to, or watch an A's game on TV with their drums and ricky ticky drumsticks on metal, whatever. Then you'll want to kill somebody.

All of you pissed at the ticking should do what I do and just blow through a vuvuzela while watching the game.

The cradle of the game.
Martin Cooke, 33, of Germantown, Kentucky, was arrested after police said he urinated on the person in front of him in Paul Brown Stadium. Cooke, who wore a Bengals hoodie, is accused of fighting with the man and punching him in the face, court documents state. He is facing disorderly conduct and assault charges. Cooke is scheduled to appear in court Monday.

Sorry if already covered but is anyone else hearing an annoying clacking sound when Green Bay lines up?
It's that woman who used to do the "traveling" signal behind the plate when Clemens was pitching. She's moved on to playing spoons.

I'll never forget that bitch. I waited my whole life (too young in '75) to see the Sox in the WS and she had to go a pull that annoying shit. She was in her 60s back then I'd say, so I imagine she's passed by now. Good riddance.

You could have stopped at "Kentucky."

Moving the Line
Never since 1990 have all four wild card teams won. Three different times, 05-06 (all but the Patriots), 10-11 (all but the Seahawks), and 13-14 (all but the Colts), three Wild Cards won.

Last time all wild cards won was 1989-90 (LA Rams, Steelers; both on the road), but of course, a different format, with the first round consisting of only wild cards, so it doesn't truly apply to this point.

Cooke, who wore a Bengals hoodie, is accused of fighting with the man and punching him in the face, court documents state. He is facing disorderly conduct and assault charges. Cooke is scheduled to appear in court Monday.

The first altercation occurred in a line to get inside the stadium around 8 p.m. just before the game’s kickoff. Police said it began when Jared McCarty, 19, of Reading, argued with a woman about cutting in line at an entrance gate and stole her Bengals hat.

McCarty, who wore a Bengals jersey, threw the hat away, police said, and the two groups separated only to run into each other again at their seats inside the stadium. The argument resumed in the stands and McCarty allegedly punched the woman in the head, causing her to fall to the ground, court documents state.

Police discovered a fake identification card on McCarty upon his arrest. The teen admitted to drinking alcohol, police said.


Another arrest

Police said David Grillo, 25, of Belle Vernon, Pennsylvania, was wearing a black jersey as he walked up an aisle in the stadium and threw a beer at a fan during the game. The beer hit the fan in the face and caused lacerations, police said. Grillo is accused of assault. His court date is not yet scheduled.

Bengals pissing all over themselves extends into the stands as well.

I hope everything is closed for the weekend, and he's in jail until Monday morning.

The cradle of the game.
Back in the 70s, someone brought a huge wooden noisemaker into Fenway. Looked like a long bat (animal) box attached to a pipe. Noise was made by swinging the box above one's head. Clack-clack-clack. Seemed very loud and possibly unsafe for those in its swath.

I wonder with all their issues in the passing game they don't get Aberderris more involved. He just jocked that guy on the 2pt attempt.

Green Bay's o-line being competent was unexpected
I think it's the play calling. Otherwise I don't understand what's going on.

The run game is working, and GB is running a lot of screens and quick curl routes. Did they just go vanilla the last few games of the regular season???

Never a good throw when TWO defenders have a better shot at the ball than the intended receiver.
