The BENGALS can NEVER trade Jessie Bates
With Minkah Fitzpatrick's new contract the Jessie Bates storyline pulls front and center. Lukas gives reasons why Bates is an untradeable player - even if he chooses to not sign a contract extension. Odell Beckham Jr in Cincinnati? Probably not. But it's relevant to the future of the organization that it's even a thought. Cincinnati misses out as a World Cup host city - why the 2026 World Cup is still significant for the growth of the game and FCC. Plus, how the Apple TV deal might balance MLS. Lukas also gives some personal news and updates. Please Subscribe, it costs you nothing and puts a big smile on my face :)

The Reds: It's 2005 all over again
Do we exist in a simulation?
The Pentagon is releasing a report confirming the existence of UFOs (60 minutes story, must-watch), and Artificial Intelligence is capable of creating original music by dead artists.
Former book delivery company Amazon is worth $3,000 a share and is preparing to broadcast NFL games. DVDs weren’t even around for the last Cincinnati playoff win – now a DVD delivery company, that no loner delivers DVD’s, is worth $30 billion. The world’s weird, but not all bad.
Summer approaches, promising full stadiums and music festivals. Hope exists throughout society as Covid dissipates in the United States.
With all that hope and optimism, only a simulation would be so cruel to put all of Cincinnati through the Deja Vu currently happening at Great American Ballpark.
