TV Crew Fooled Into Thinking There Was A Flag On A TD Play During Bengals/Jaguars Game, But It Was Really… An Adult Toy

This is quickly becoming my favorite tradition in sports.

Earlier this year, there were several high-profile incidents of bright green sex toys being thrown onto the court during WNBA games.

But now it seems that the trend has spilled over into other sports.

During opening weekend for the NFL last weekend, we saw a couple of these adult toys being thrown onto the field. And today, we saw it yet again during the game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the Jacksonville Jaguars.

It came (no pun intended) when Bengals wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley made an absolutely beautiful touchdown catch from backup QB Jake Browning, who entered the game after Joe Burrow suffered a toe injury in the first half.

As Tinsley was celebrating the TD, the bright green toy bounced on the field just beside the endzone…and apparently, it led the TV crew broadcasting the game to think there was a penalty flag on the play.

Immediately following the touchdown, the graphic popped up showing there was a flag on the play. The only problem? There was no flag. Just a sex toy thrown on the field at the exact same time as the end of the play.

You’ve got to admit, that’s funny.

Now obviously we don’t condone throwing anything onto the field at any sporting event. Not only is it dangerous, but it’s likely to earn you a permanent ejection when you inevitably get caught. There are cameras everywhere in these stadiums these days, so you’re not going to get away with throwing something from the stands. Just not worth it.

And what if the players actually thought it was a flag and stopped the play? Could you imagine something like this affecting the outcome of a game?

Of course, the internet got a kick out of it, and it doesn’t appear that the announcing crew noticed anything as the touchdown obviously stood for the Bengals.

And despite their starting QB being out due to injury, the Bengals and Browning still managed to grind out a 31-27 win over the Jaguars.

Did You Know Joe Burrow Owns An Authentic Batmobile?

How do NFL players cope with a frustrating season? They buy a movie authentic Batmobile, of course!

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals had a really weird, mind-boggling 2024 season. The AFC team seemed to make losing in heartbreaking fashion an art form.

The Bengals just can’t stop Bengal-ing.

After Joey B. led the Bengals to a Super Bowl appearance in just his second year in the league, the expectations have always been high. However, it seems as though every year, the Cincinnati squad either digs themself into too deep of a hole early on in the season, or Burrow goes out with an injury. Lather, rinse, repeat.

It’s an infuriating purgatory for Bengals players and fans alike, and I’d imagine anyone associated with the struggling AFC North team is trying to find joy outside of football. Even Joe Burrow himself is exploring his entertainment options off the field, and recently revealed during an episode of in-season Hard Knocks that he used part of his 5-year, $275 million dollar contract to purchase an authentic, movie-quality Batmobile that was up for sale for $3 million:

“Have I told you a bought a Batmobile? I don’t get it for like a year, but I bought it. I think I gotta go all in and go for the expensive Batsuit. Some armor.”

Hey… whatever you gotta do Mr. Burrow.

You may have seen the news that a limited supply of Batmobile “Tumbler” vehicles were going on sale. As crazy as it sounds, it’s true. Warner Bros Discovery linked up with Action Vehicle Engineering and Relevance International to bring this iconic on-screen vehicle to real life, and put 1o of them up for sale – by invitation only:

“Limited production of 10 Wayne Enterprises Tumblers, fully functional iconic ‘Batmobile,’ are exclusively being sold by invitation only. These highly collectable Tumbler Batmobiles are officially sanctioned by Warner Bros. and will be available for sale to an exclusive audience of avid car collectors.”

On the site, the list of features for the rare Batmobile include stainless steel headers, a smoke screen delivery system, and imitation gun turrets. I mean, this thing sounds legit… Joe Burrow could be the quarterback of the Bengals during the day, and then fight crime in Cincinnati at night.

The only issue with that is the vehicle evidently isn’t street legal, so I’m not sure what you supposed to do with it. Just look at it in your garage, I guess? I would imagine losing 38 to 35 wouldn’t sting as bad if you knew you could just go back home to your Batmobile, sit in it, and cue up “Something In The Way” by Nirvana.

But anyways, surely Joe Burrow will figure out what to do with his Batmobile – once he gets it. And the internet seems to be very happy for the Bengals quarterback, so that’s all that really matters:
