    FWIW, I like the Elf.... 

    Ironic that the Browns are dropping First Energy, but the ever cheapskate Bengals sold the naming rights of Paul Brown to Paycor.  😁 

  • I like they are going back but probably short lived. Can we say "Flying J" stadium?

    I think they should call it “Head & Shoulders Stadium”.

    God knows how many times I’ve left there scratching my head.

    Just saw that the lease for that stadium expires after the 2026 season and SHOCKING there's talk of massive renovations or a new stadium for the Bengals.

    The elf seems to be a love it, hate it thing.

    The problem with the elf is that it has lost it's status as a symbol of a proud winning franchise. It disappeared in the 70's and 80's when we should have kept it around.

    Had this franchise maintained a tradition deserving of respect while maintaining the Elfs presence, no one would have an issue with it.

    Similar to that Notre Dame leprechaun.

    To bring back that imp while not yet shedding our reputation as the NFL's laughingstock doesn't feel right.

    Bringing back the Leprechaun might trigger the woke... He's too white....

    This guy lives with his mother, who he obviously has feelings for.

    His political views that he loves to crowbar into every thread are probably awesome.

    What I was implying is that unlike the Brownie Elf, the leprechaun never went away, .

    It continues to be the Notre Dame mascot. 

    Had the Brownie Elf never went away we wouldn't be facing this "controversy".

    ...but then again, I don't recall the leprechaun occupying the 50 yard line.

    Yes really.

    Some like the Elf, some don't.  Each have their reasons.  If that is not a controversy, then what would a dimwit like you call it?

    Yes how ironic the Irish beloved little dude carrying a fighting shillelaugh club  is so much more liked than the cartoonish Cleveland  character.    It's been that way since when the Cleveland football players didn't want to wear it back in the 1940s.

    it just doesn't seem to fit with 'Merican smash mouth tackle football  !

    It just occurred to me the Notre Dame has never used the leprechaun as a midfield logo. So why the fuck do we?

    I'd have to agree with you that it doesn't belong on the 50 yd. line.

    I'm not saying players should wear it either. Hell no..

    What I'm trying to say is that Notre Dame kept the Leprechaun around in some capacity, conversely, we abandoned the elf eons ago making it's return harder for younger fans to buy into.

    Jesus, the Draft can't come fast enough.

    This is some enthralling "sittin' around the nursing home gumming some tapioca pudding in the dining room banter" right here.
