Joe Burrow offers candid description of Cincinnati nightlife when discussing virus precautions

Joe Burrow may have inadvertently shared his true thoughts about the Cincinnati nightlife scene when he discussed COVID-19 precautions for the Cincinnati Bengals players.

“We’ve been lucky in terms of injuries and COVID. We’re doing a great job with our COVID protocols,” he said, “fortunately there’s not a ton to do in Cincinnati so nobody’s going out to clubs and bars and getting COVID every weekend. But we’ve been healthy.”

The Bengals are getting ready to face the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday as a playoff spot is on the line. A Cincinnati TV station quickly took the chance to react to the quote, and offer several suggestions about where Burrow can go to better experience all that Cincinnati has to offer.

One of the best parts of my (on-air) week. @Fox19Riva is such a devoted Joe Burrow guy, he wouldn’t read my “lump of coal” line.”

What a made-for-TV Christmas gift from Burrow today.
