Bryan and David begin the pod by reacting to all of the pronunciations of the word &#039;Bengals&#039; by TV and sports radio personalities. They then analyze Tony Romo&#039;s announcing performance, (3:17) Andy Reid&#039;s clock management, (10:47) and the unfortunate CBS half-time show during the Bengals-Chiefs AFC Championship game. They wrap up the pod by dissecting every chapter of Saturday&#039;s chaotic media mishandling of Tom Brady&#039;s botched retirement announcement (19:21) and look forward to the bevy of hastily assembled Bengals and Rams profiles being written for Super Bowl week. (34:52)
