    Loveland, Ohio – With their victory over the Cleveland Browns, the Bengals are within one game of .500. But they face a very tough test this week against a Philadelphia Eagles team that is playing much better than Cincinnati’s recent opponents. On this week’s episode of the Queen City Sports Podcast, Chris and Mark break down exactly what the Bengals need to do to keep their momentum rolling this Sunday, because it’s a must-win game. The guys also hit on the Bearcats’ big win versus Arizona State and a titanic matchup this weekend against Deion Sanders’ Colorado team. And Bearcat basketball is almost back! Mark gives us the latest from their scrimmage against Ohio State. To wrap it up, Chris discusses the real possibly that if he loses to Michigan State this weekend, the Wolverines’ head coach Sherrone Moore might not make it out of this season with his job.

    Loveland, Ohio – You’re in luck, as the Queen City Sports Podcast has arrived a day early! The Bengals played in primetime last week, and Joe Burrow scampered for a 47-yard touchdown to open up the scoring against the New York Giants. But things got a little rockier for the offense after that before the final minutes when Chase Brown iced it for a 17-7 victory. Chris and Mark discuss what Sunday night’s performance means for the team going forward and whether the defense has finally turned a corner now that their line is fully healthy. The guys also talk about the Bearcats’ big road win against UCF and whether the Michigan Wolverines can slow down Illinois’ potent passing attack, and if Jack Tuttle is up to the task of making Michigan’s passing game a factor.

    Loveland, Ohio – What role did Zac Taylor’s play calling have in the Bengals’ heartbreaking loss this past week against the Baltimore Ravens? Chris and Mark discuss how the Bengals abandoning Joe Burrow and their passing attack at the most crucial moment of the game impacted its end. The guys also discuss what the Bearcats can expect when they take on UCF this weekend, and how Michigan’s quarterback woes may be improving, but their play at the position is far from adequate. The Bearcats basketball squad is also in the top 15, at least by the evaluation of one key prognosticator. Finally, Chris and Mark talk about the Reds’ recent hiring of veteran manager Terry Francona and the impact it will have on the 2025 season.

    Loveland, Ohio – The Bengals got their first win of the season! But there is little time to celebrate as they clash with their division rivals the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. A lot is on the line, and Chris and Mark break it all down for you. Mark also analyzes what went wrong, and what went right for the Bearcats in their narrow loss against Texas Tech on Saturday. He also talks about how the Cats grade out going into their bye week. The guys also get to the bottom of just what happened on that Minnesota onside kick at the end of the Wolverines’ win last week, and delve into whether Michigan will ever be able to solve their quarterback issues.

    Loveland, Ohio – Is it time to panic in The Jungle? The Bengals are 0-3 and Chris and Mark talk about what went wrong versus the Commanders and just what can be done for the Bengals to find their first win next week against the Carolina Panthers and former Cincinnati quarterback Andy Dalton. On the more pleasant side of things, the Cincinnati Bearcats blanked the Houston Cougars last week and the Michigan Wolverines beat the USC Trojans while throwing for just 32 (!!!) total yards. So sit back and enjoy, and thanks for all your support!

    Loveland, Ohio – What should have been a glorious football weekend turned into a parade of misery for Chris and Mark as the Bengals, Bearcats, and Wolverines all lost. The Bengals stumbled to a loss against a decidedly inferior Patriots team, the Bearcats blew a 21-point lead, and the Wolverines got blown out at home. Join the guys as they put aside their misery and bring you the stats and analysis (no matter how much pain it causes them).

    Loveland, Ohio – This week, Mark and Chris delve deeper into Ja’Marr Chase’s contract situation, which has more twists and turns than a James Bond movie. The guys take a brief look at the Bengals’ week one opponent, the New England Patriots, and how that is a very winnable game. They also discuss how it’s clearly game over for the Reds, but talk about some of the remaining bright spots for the team and how it’s do or die in 2025. Finally, they get into the meat of the college football action as they give their predictions for the Cincinnati Bearcats, Michigan Wolverines, and the college game in general
