Bengals football is (almost) back — and so is Bengal Bites with a vengeance. In this comeback episode, we cover everything the team and mainstream media have quietly tiptoed around since May.

Training camp is starting, but Cincinnati’s top draft pick Shemar Stewart is nowhere to be seen. Why? The Bengals are playing hardball over contract language that even last year’s #17 pick didn’t have to swallow. Throw in Trey Hendrickson’s holdout and this team suddenly has real problems on the edge — both literally and figuratively.

We break it all down:

• 🔥 Joe Burrow on Netflix’s Quarterback – and why Episode 6 is must-watch TV

• 🏆 The Ring of Honor gets two more names: Lamar Parrish (long overdue) and Dave Lapham (meh)

• ⚖️ NFLPA Scandal – Lloyd Howell exposed as a puppet for the owners, JC Tretter resigns in disgrace

• 🏟️ Bengals’ lease “deal” with Hamilton County — finally paying rent, but still sticking it to taxpayers

• 🧨 AFC North shakeup – Steelers go full Madden Franchise Mode (Rodgers! Ramsey! Watt!), Browns tank again

• ✍️ Key signings, PUP list surprises, and a farewell to roster filler like Logan Woodside

• 😤 Zach Taylor's sideline silence while Burrow goes nuclear in Nashville

Who Dey!
