Joe Burrow is taking the Cincinnati Bengals to the Super Bowl. The NFL’s ‘Tiger King’, the guy with the real chains and the smoking cigar cocked like a pistol, is going to the big time despite a rookie season entirely disrupted by an ACL injury and a franchise meant to be forever stuck in the 1980s.
But you know this by now. And you’re likely tired - no, bored - of hearing how ice cold this guy’s supposed Cinci swag is.
The vibes, though, are real. And while there is a temptation to view Burrow and his fellow Bengals as arrogant youngsters, former Louisiana State University (LSU) head coach Ed Orgeron, one of the men who knows Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase best from their university football days, would argue that for your own good, this is a very, very bad idea.
