The Skinny Podcast

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Rick Broering to discuss a variety of topics.Those topics include: *Reacting to the Reds' 3-3 start *Why didn't Katie Blackburn speak to the media at NFL owner meetings? *What did Zac Taylor say to reporters?  *College basketball Final Four conversation *#AskSkinnyAnything

Bengals executive VP Katie Blackburn's decision to skip media availability at the NFL owners meetings became a talking point in Phoenix, where Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner and Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media said the silence reflects a larger communication problem for Cincinnati. Skinner said the annual meetings matter because owners and coaches are available to the media and the league's competition committee votes on rule proposals. But he argued the Bengals' reluctance to make Blackburn available leaves fans without answers on offseason decisions. “The problem with a lot of Bengals fans with the ownership is there's no answer from ownership,” Skinner said. “I just don't understand why Katie or Troy (Blackburn) or somebody from ownership doesn't come forward and address it.” Petraglia agreed, saying the Bengals' public posture creates frustration because fans want to know why the team did not do more in free agency to help obvious roster needs. He pointed to moves such as signing Joe Flacco and other additions as insufficient compared with a more aggressive push for linebacker help. “At least with words, you could say, we do care,” Petraglia said. “Here's how we approached Joe Burrow (to restructure his contract), or here's why we didn't.” The two also discussed the Bengals' broader offseason messaging, saying the club's “all in” rhetoric did not match its moves. Skinner said the issue is not just the decisions themselves, but the optics and the lack of explanation. The conversation centered on a fan base that, in their view, wants more than silence when the team makes major personnel choices.

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia from CLNS Media to discuss recent happenings during the Cincinnati Bengals offseason, a month from the NFL Draft. Former Bengals linebacker Logan Wilson has retired at age 29, citing injuries and a diminished desire to continue playing. Wilson, a key contributor during Cincinnati's 2021 Super Bowl run, was known for two pivotal postseason plays: an interception that helped set up a game-winning field goal against Tennessee and a forced fumble that led to a touchdown in the AFC wild-card round the following season. Injuries significantly impacted Wilson's performance in recent years, limiting his speed and effectiveness. Despite his relatively short career peak, he was regarded as a reliable, well-prepared player and a strong presence in the locker room. The discussion also highlighted ongoing concerns about the Bengals' current linebacker group. Rookies Barrett Carter and Demetrius Knight Jr. have been identified by coaches as starters, but questions remain about their readiness. The team lacks a proven veteran presence at the position after missing opportunities in free agency. Criticism extended to the team's broader roster-building strategy, particularly its conservative approach to salary cap management and reluctance to restructure contracts. That approach may limit the team's ability to add experienced players and depth, raising concerns about repeating issues from last season. Additional roster needs include depth at cornerback, safety and wide receiver, with reliance on the draft viewed as a risky strategy for immediate improvement. The duo on the podcast also questioned quarterback Joe Burrow's decision to participate in an offseason flag football game, citing injury risk given his contract and injury history.

The Bengals addressed two major defensive needs on the opening day of the NFL's free-agency negotiating period, agreeing to deals with safety Bryan Cook and edge rusher Boye Mafe. Cook, a Mount Healthy High School graduate and former University of Cincinnati standout, started 34 games over the past two seasons for Kansas City and is viewed as an upgrade in run support and tackling consistency. He has two interceptions over the past two years but has been a reliable presence in the secondary. Mafe, who had two sacks last season in a rotational role with Seattle, recorded nine sacks two years ago and ranked among the league's top edge rushers in pressures. The Bengals are banking on increased snaps translating to higher production. Cincinnati had been linked to defensive tackle John Franklin-Myers but pivoted after he agreed to terms with the Tennessee Titans. The Bengals are still expected to pursue help at linebacker and could look to add depth at edge rusher and slot corner as free agency continues. Meanwhile, the market for defensive end Trey Hendrickson remains uncertain. Reports indicate Hendrickson is seeking a deal worth about $30 million per year, but no team has met that price as he enters his age-32 season following surgery.

The 2026 NFL league year and free agency signing period begins Wednesday, though teams were allowed to begin negotiating with agents at noon Monday during the league's legal tampering window. Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner joined Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss what the Cincinnati Bengals should prioritize. They reviewed how the legal tampering period works, noting that while contracts cannot be signed until 4 p.m. Wednesday, most agreements reached beforehand are finalized once the new league year opens. They also discussed the importance of teams being salary cap compliant before free agency begins, often leading to trades, restructures and releases. Regarding the Bengals, Skinner and Petraglia noted the team has approximately $47 million in cap space after declining to franchise-tag Trey Hendrickson. They identified defensive tackle, edge rusher, safety and linebacker as major needs. Skinner suggested interior pass rush — potentially targeting a player such as John Franklin-Myers — should be a priority, along with signing a veteran safety and possibly drafting one early. At quarterback, they discussed reports that Joe Flacco would prefer a starting opportunity but could return as Joe Burrow's backup if necessary. Jake Browning was not tendered and is expected to become an unrestricted free agent, though a return remains possible. On offense, they emphasized the need for depth at swing tackle and wide receiver. While the starting offensive line stayed healthy last season, they cautioned against relying on similar durability again. Both agreed the Bengals must balance free agency spending carefully while using the draft to address remaining needs.

Local 12 digital sports columnist and editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia of CLNS Media to discuss several offseason topic surrounding the NFL and Cincinnati Bengals.This episode focused heavily on what they believe is one of the biggest injustices in NFL history — Ken Anderson not being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They argued that Anderson's resume, including an MVP award, a Super Bowl appearance, multiple passing titles, and his role in helping pioneer the modern passing offense, makes him as deserving — if not more deserving — than several quarterbacks already enshrined. The conversation compared Anderson to Dan Fouts, Sonny Jurgensen, and Joe Namath, questioning inconsistencies in Hall of Fame voting standards. They also discussed other Bengals greats they believe have been overlooked, including Willie Anderson and Lamar Parrish.The discussion then shifted to the current Bengals, including coaching staff changes, the hiring of a new run game coordinator, and what that might mean schematically. They analyzed offseason priorities, emphasizing defensive line upgrades — particularly at nose tackle and interior pass rush — over splashy, expensive names like Maxx Crosby or Bradley Chubb. They also debated contract extensions for players like Chase Brown, Dax Hill, and DJ Turner. The episode closed with a look ahead to the NFL Combine and draft priorities, identifying the Bengals' most urgent need.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Local 12 Digital Sports Columnist and Editor Richard Skinner was joined by Mike Petraglia from CLNS media to analyze the Cincinnati Bengals victory over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2025.=====================MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Joe Burrow rebounded from his first time being shut out to throw for 309 yards and four touchdowns as the Cincinnati Bengals routed the Miami Dolphins 45-21 on Sunday.Miami (6-9) and Cincinnati (5-10) were both eliminated from playoff contention last week, but the teams insisted they were still motivated for the final three games of the season.It appeared that way in the first half. Cincinnati held a 17-14 halftime lead before blowing the game open with 28 points off four straight Dolphins turnovers.Burrow carved up Miami's defense, completing 25 of 32 throws with a 146.5 passer rating before being replaced by veteran Joe Flacco early in the fourth quarter. Two of Burrow's touchdown passes went to running back Chase Brown, from 9 and 5 yards out. Brown, who finished with 66 yards rushing and 43 receiving, also had a 12-yard touchdown run. All of Brown's TDs came in the third, making him the first player this season with three scores in a single quarter.Ja'Marr Chase caught nine passes for 109 yards. Tee Higgins had an athletic 9-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. And former Dolphin Mike Gesicki added a 17-yard TD before doing the Griddy front of his old team.In the first start of his career, Dolphins rookie quarterback Quinn Ewers led two scoring drives before throwing a pair of interceptions as Miami unrivaled in the second half for the second straight week.Ewers, who completed 20 of 30 passes for 260 yards, was named Miami's starter earlier this week. The embattled Tua Tagovailoa was benched following last week's poor performance at Pittsburgh, in which he threw his league-leading 15th interception.Ewers, a seventh-round pick out of Texas, has hardly taken any first-team practice reps, instead running the scout team most of the season. That didn't matter much to coach Mike McDaniel, who indicated his standard has not been met from the quarterback position and felt Ewers could provide a spark.Ewers got off to a strong start Sunday. He was 10 of 12 in the first half and was decisive and effective on play-action.Tagovailoa, who led the league in passing in 2023 but has not played up to the four-year, $212.4 million contract extension signed in 2024, was Miami's emergency third quarterback behind Ewers and veteran Zach Wilson.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
