About this listen

 Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss several offseason topic surrounding the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals. This episode focused heavily on what they believe is one of the biggest injustices in NFL history — Ken Anderson not being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They argued that Anderson’s resume, including an MVP award, a Super Bowl appearance, multiple passing titles, and his role in helping pioneer the modern passing offense, makes him as deserving — if not more deserving — than several quarterbacks already enshrined. The conversation compared Anderson to Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, and Joe Namath, questioning inconsistencies in Hall of Fame voting standards. They also discussed other Bengals greats they believe have been overlooked, including Willie Anderson and Lamar Parrish. The discussion then shifted to the current Bengals, including coaching staff changes, the hiring of a new run game coordinator, and what that might mean schematically. They analyzed offseason priorities, emphasizing defensive line upgrades — particularly at nose tackle and interior pass rush — over splashy, expensive names like Maxx Crosby or Bradley Chubb. They also debated contract extensions for players like Chase Brown, Dax Hill, and DJ Turner. The episode closed with a look ahead to the NFL Combine and draft priorities, identifying the Bengals’ most urgent need.
