Caleb’s On Blast: Yin 88 ( 發財) and Yang 88 (拜拜)

Images and Words by Caleb

Trade:

• Kong receives: Curtis Samuel + James Robinson
• Bode receives: Joe Mixon

There are many famous 88s…Original 88 Drew Pearson, The Playmaker Michael Irvin, Dez “X” Bryant, and of course our very own CD 88. However, the most notable can be found in Sinological studies around the mysticism of wealth and prosperity through the power of 88. ( 發財). Which is exactly how Better Call Paul leaves after his trade with Bingo Bango Bongo. An extreme overreaction to SELL LOW on his RB2 workhorse Joe Mixon.

Arguably a TOP-10 RB coming into this season, Mixon is expected to dominate the workload with an anticipated 500+ rush attempts and 50+ targets. I do not expect the O-Line struggles to continue to plague this former Super Bowl Contender. Mixon and the Bengals have a GET RIGHT game against the Jets the following week, which will undoubtedly be the injection of fuel this team needs to vault back to the top of their conference.

This was absolutely a PANIC SELL for Bingo Bango Bongo, and he deserves to get BLASTED.

Or should I say… 88 (拜拜)
