The Bengals are a historically frustrating franchise even when they are winning. Paul understands the psyche of Bengals fans and helps us make sense of it all.

The Pittsburgh guy was a joke and just made the entire experience worse. Bye

Long time listener, was obviously bummed about Jay leaving. I was encouraged by the start of the season, but I kind of feel like the podcast has become something for you guys to ramble on as opposed to a service for the fans… Really could do without the talk about aliens for 20 minutes of every...Read full review »

Let me start by saying Dehner is awesome and doing the best he can. But he and Jay as a combo is what made this podcast. The gentleman who replaced him….just isn’t it. BRING JAY BACK! Not only for the podcast but for his articles too. Jays got stats! And podcasts apparently.

The best part of The Athletic’s Bengals coverage was Paul AND Jay. It was a pleasure observing their friendship develop while they covered the team. I’m glad I got the chance to appreciate it. Unfortunately for Paul he’s having to try too hard to reinvent what was already a perfect podcast.

No jay. No listen. Period.

Great run gents but not giving it eyeballs or subs to athletic without Jay
tach0x45 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 06/16/23
I got an ARBIES for ya… F the New York Times! The reason people subscribe to The Athletic is for in depth beat reporting on sports unavailable anywhere else (online anyway). Firing local reporters will absolutely ruin The Athletic. They should have just raised the subscription cost… it is...Read full review »

Must listen for bengals fans. The depth and detail that Paul and Jay provide every ep is top tier. Even bengals fans who bleed orange will learn something new about football and bengals.

Love hearing the guys talk Bengals, but I wish Paul would give the show a listen so he could hear how his volume levels change. This isn’t an issue for Jay. Many times Paul is whispering and you can’t hear what he is saying. Please fix so we can hear your comments Paul!

Really bad. Amateur hour.

If I wanted to listen to AM Talk Radio, I would listen to AM Talk Radio

This and Buckeye coverage makes my Athletic subscription sooooooo cheap.

Karl Collins ain’t all that. What are you so excited about? Increasingly, you journalists are becoming fanboys. Curb your enthusiasm!
vincent dayton via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/21/22
Love the content Jay and Paul provide!! I’ve been a weekly listener for 2 years now
B.Hersh via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/30/22

Great listen.
Philly Buckets via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/28/21
Any Bengals fan will love the insight Jay and Paul bring. They do great work!
C Posty via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/23/21
If your a Bengals fan and you need a good chuckle then this podcast is for you. Full of Seinfeld-esc humor that will never disappoint from Paul and sad but true stats from Jay. I love this podcast
Colbythecameraman via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/21
Wouldn’t be upset if Paul was my dad
GlenHammerle via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/19/21
PDJ, love ya, but you filibuster and go on and on and on sometimes lol. Need to let Jay talk more. The Burrow post injury pod was probably 80/20 talk ratio.
OhioState4444 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/27/20
This podcast breaks through the cliched Bungles narratives to deliver the real, unadulterated truth about what’s going on with the Bengals organization. It’s not for the faint of heart — this podcast definitely won’t make you feel better about being a fan of a bad team — but if you’re already in...Read full review »

Shilling for the Bengals front office. It’s patently obvious this coaching staff is incompetent and scapegoating good players to distract from their lack of ability. “Call a spade a spade.” Give me a break.
BaltimoreNYCParis via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/24/20
It’s simple...this is the best bengals podcast!
MaanAboulhosn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/08/20
I have listened to Paul for multiple years and joined the athletic because of his move there. Since his move I have enjoyed Jay’s writing on the athletic just as much. The best info out there.
Jaredhunn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/05/20
Paul and Jay are so good at providing informative balanced news and opinions on the Cincinnati Bengals. Not too negative and not blindly positive. Just right. Who Dey!
Garett.kerber via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/20/20
These guys do great job of being creative and filling us in on all the facts and opinions we need as Bengals fans. It’s enlightening and entertaining. The quality of the audio is tough. I love listening to the podcast information, but I find myself having to ride the volume knob the whole time....Read full review »

Paul and Jay do a great job of being neutral journalists while also being fans. Really enjoy the perspective they bring.
skippyZ via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/20
Really look forward to listening to Paul & Jay on their Growlin podcast. Not only for the informed content but their guests. And not to forget Jay’s stats. Some of these will blow your mind. A podcast for independent thinking fans of the Bengals 5*
Dubai-D via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/15/20
Iv been a fan since Palmer was drafted but a die hard fine since the 2012 draft specifically. Football became 365 for me then. I discovered the BBP not long after and wether we won or lost I couldn’t wait for Wednesday morning and eventually Friday morning as well. Highlight of the week for me....Read full review »
Hdjdjnnnjjjjj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/06/20
After suffering through the Bengals Beat Podcast lately I finally found this jewel. Paul gets it. Paul doesn’t take himself too serious. Paul isn’t worried about pleasing everyone. His insight is informative, therapeutic, and enjoyable at the same time. It’s what every Bengals fan needs. Same as...Read full review »

Paul is the best for Bengals reporting and this is by far the best Bengals podcast! If you put up with the misery of this pathetic franchise, be sure to listen and follow this podcast!

Chiller Instinct via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/23/19
Paul and Jay bring the real bengals news with the real bengals attitude. Perfect
tbufn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/16/19
My favorite part of the bengal coverage. Happy subscriber.
Kbvdjnivrj via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 11/23/19
This is just as bad as when he was with the enquirer. Optimistic Bobby parts are cringey. You have to fast forward through the first five minutes and stop with twenty to go.
Stanley Morgan 3 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 10/19/19
BBP is awful now. That guy and that chick are terrible. Locked on Bengals is just as bad. Paul does a good job!
ribengals via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/26/19
Had to come here BBP is terrible now. I missed Paul.
wilkabeast via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/13/19
The sole reason I subscribe to the Athletic. The podcasts are worth the price.
dan hafer via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/10/19
Seriously missed hearing these voices talk Bengals every week. The BBP was never the same once they departed. Subscribed over on the athletic and it’s totally worth it for the 2 extra episodes a week, along with a ton of articles about the team. That last bit is particularly nice in a national...Read full review »

I transitioned from BBP and Paul picked up right where he left. He is seriously talented at driving a podcast. Only Bengals podcast I would listen to.
Evan5252 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/04/19
Love the podcast.
RunPassorBoot via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/19
Thank God you are back Paul! You are the only one who gets all the pieces of the Bengals and their fans. Just wish all three pods where free... gotta find another sponsor to make that happen! Btw “Hear that Podcast Growlin’”?!? That name has got to go... the Athletic’s marketing department...Read full review »
