NFL Nuggets:

• The Bengals curse lives on: first-round pick Jonah Williams will miss all of 2019 with a torn labrum & surgery to repair same.
  • As noted by Mr. Ayo in last night’s open thread, this is but the latest in what appears to be a clear pattern of fragile drafting by Mike Brown.

• Tyreek Hill had his meeting with the NFL today.
  • Officials from the league’s Special Counsel for Investigations travelled to Kansas City to meet with Hill.
    • In prior incidents, Hill “pleaded guilty to choking and beating her while she was pregnant”.
      • Pre-NFL misbehavior can be used as an aggravating factor when establishing punishment for misconduct that happens after the player joins an NFL team.
    • As a ground floor, Ravens CB Jimmy Smith got four games for emotionally abusing the mother of his child. There were no allegations of physical violence against Smith.

It’s a terribly slow news day, so why not a little Canadian Prairie ballad?

It seems like a good evening to talk about music.
