I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.

Also, as a pediatrics professor, I have to say they have one of the best children's hospitals in the world.
Cincinnati has problems, like any other city, but it also has a lot going for it, including a lot of friendly and capable people.

Flexing on the childrens’ hospital is a new one for this board…
But would make more sense for someone from Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle, San Francisco, or D.C. [Reply]

Bengals QB Joe Burrow on his recovery from wrist surgery, and where he's at heading into spring work: "The wrist has good days and bad days, just like the knee did ... We'll be smart about it."Says when it feels good, he'll throw.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 7, 2024

All those metropolitan areas are way more populous than Cincinnati. The smallest, Seattle, has 4 million. Cincinnati has about 2.3, about the same as Kansas City. They are a peer city to Kansas City, and just as I want others to appreciate my hometown of KC, I appreciate the good things about other cities, especially Midwestern ones. [Reply]

Yeah, in 2013, the Chiefs and Royals were something like 110th and 112th in longest playoff droughts out of 114 teams across the 4 major sports.. so, from personal experience, I can tell you I wasn't on Twitter telling the world "I can't believe this is my life". [Reply]

That's true, because kids don't make a lot of money, so if a region takes good care of their kids, that says something about their values. Most healthcare systems make pediatrics feel like they are losing money for the system. :-)
I appreciate how Children's Mercy In KC helped me deal with an eye injury when I was very young and my working class family was dealing with a lot. [Reply]

You mean you had an ailment as a child and you didn't have to go to Cincinnati because they had the same type of facility in the city you lived in?
If the great things about your city can be found in any large metro area in the country, isn't that city just meeting the expectation, not surpassing it? [Reply]

Cincinnati's Children's Hospital excels across a broad range of sub specialties, exceeding the high expectations that the United States has for its institutions, and they have performed like that for generations, so they attract excellent clinicians and researchers from all over. They are in the top tier of children's hospitals in the world. They currently sit atop the US News rankings of US children’s hospitals https://health.usnews.com/health-new...l-and-overview [Reply]

Yes, it's a strong children's hospital. Well-funded, good programs, and an excellent pediatric cancer unit.
Most of the magnet children's hospitals in the United States are excellent facilities with at least one program where they really excel.
I used to work with all the childrens' hospitals in the country. It's definitely a peer but not a notable outlier.
The only childrens' hospitals that really have issues are the ones that are in depressed areas and have funding issues. Oakland struggles because it HAS to take Medicaid kids, and SF does not (they're in the same system and it is set up that way on purpose). Memphis Le Bonheur has issues at times because St. Jude's attracts a lot of local donors (and is very specialized). Etc. [Reply]
