Tuesday's Hot Clicks: Jordan Wessel; Marvin Lewis Needs To Go After Bengals Blow Another Lead

In Tuesday's Hot Clicks, we examine another choke job by the Marvin Lewis-led Bengals against the Steelers. 

I hate the Bengals

I was really excited when I went to bed and the Bengals had a 17-0 lead over the Steelers. Then I woke up and realized the Steelers had won. The game included two nasty injuries—one to Ryan Shazierand the other to Vontaze Burfict. The Burfict one was the result of a vicious helmet-to-helmet hit by JuJu Smith-Schuster. Antonio Brown seemed to appreciate the Burfict hit and I'm guessing these comments had something to do with it. I have one message for Bengals ownership: Listen to the t-shirt. It's long overdue.

College football bowl gifts

One of the best things about playing in the college football postseason is that every team receives a gift packages provided by the bowl game's organizing committee. Here's a look at all the prize packs. Sucks to be Iowa or Boston College.

Feud alert: Jim Harbaugh vs. Mark Dantonio

​I'm on Team Dantonio on this one.

Feud alert 2: Dustin Hoffman vs. John Oliver

This one seemed a lot more testy. I'm on Team Oliver.
