We’re pouring one out for the Bengals’ Joey B, who’s out for the next three months recovering from turf toe. Blake begs the question: why couldn’t it be a sexier injury? Elsewhere in the midwest, the Colts are killing it for the first time in *checks watch* a long time. Some say it’s thanks to the new QB on the block, Daniel “Indiana” Jones. Our verdict? It’s thanks to Carlie Irsay-Gordon, who’s been prepping her whole life for this. Plus, we catch up with former USWNT member, Ali Krieger, about life post-retirement and what cross-sport solidarity means for the future of women’s sports.
