Carson Palmer won a starting job. The Bengals promoted Palmer ahead of quarterback Jon Kitna on Monday, placing their future in the hands of a Heisman Trophy winner who has yet to take a snap in the NFL. Will Palmer Do good next season... i dont think so, i would let him sit another year. What do you guys think of this switch?

If you use a high pick and a bunch of cash to get a guy, you might as well play him. If they hope for Palmer to be the future of the franchise, they need him to get all the experience he can. I don't think he will do as good starting out as Kitna did last season though.

Which, ironically, he leaves college, and his college team then wins the National Championship. Ummm..Carson Palmer? You will be a "has been" very very soon.

dude. the bungles may be on to something.

i wonder if they woulda done better with him starting this season.

anyways, boog, you may be right. the last good heisman winning qb i can recall is either ty detmer (90) or vinnie testicleverde (86).

oh... add on to the fact that heisman qb's dont do dick in the nfl... he will more than likely have a sophomore slump even tho he didnt play as a rookie.

Just listened to the local news in Cincinnati. Apparently, a lot of people think of this to be a good move. Only a few (that they showed) seemed to disapprove of Palmer. Looks like Kitna will be the backup. ESPN also reports that Kitna has agreed to restructure his contract and that he is willing to play second fiddle to Palmer.

kitna wasnt all that great to begin with.. i dont know that they should have named palmer starter right away though, i think they should have let them compete for it in camp and preseason.. i dont think palmer will ever be anything special either

atleast some experience is better than nothing.

Yeah its better. That way, a post season distraction is taken off the bench. it is better to do this now rather than be like St.Louis where there are now 2 QB's. Guess who will start next season??

Camp and preseason is not a big indicator of what you can do in the postseason.

their performance last year wont have as much effect as previously thought though.. this is going to be a lot like a rebuilding year with a brand new QB.. it really doesnt make sense for them to just change all of a sudden like that.. kitna didnt do anything to warrant losing the job

I understand the move but you have to feel bad for Kitna. He went out there last year knowing they had spent a top pick on a top college QB....and he played his a** off. He had an awesome year. Only to have it taken from him. Glad to see him taking it like a pro, though. Hopefully the Bengals will deal him to a team that can let him start.

Always remember when guys like this know that their future with the team is short, they are effectively auditioning for other teams. Is Kitna going to be able to relocate? He had a great 2nd half last year, earned me quite a few fantasy points.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
