Dave Lapham In The Trenches published this video item, entitled “New Cincinnati Bengals Center Ted Karras Goes In The Trenches with Dave Lapham” – below is their description.
The Cincinnati Bengals wasted little time making NFL news and addressing their most significant need for the 2022 NFL season when they went out and signed free-agent center Ted Karras away from the New England Patriots, a two-time Super Bowl champion.
In addition to Karras, the Bengals signed guard Alex Cappa and tackle La’el Collins replacing three-fifths of the offensive line that struggled during the 2021 season that ended with a Super Bowl loss.
Karras comes from a family with a long NFL history. Grandfather Ted Karras Sr. won a championship with the Chicago Bears, and great uncles Lou Karras and Alex Karras also played in the league during the 1950s and 1960s.
Ted’s father played for Washington during the player’s strike in 1987 as a replacement player and enjoyed a long college coaching career.
Karras joins Dave Lapham In The Trenches, presented by First Star Logistics, to discuss his high school, college, and NFL career, along with his excitement of joining the Bengals with Cappa and Collins to help protect quarterback Joe Burrow going forward.

In This Story: Super Bowl
The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the National Football League (NFL) – also known as American Football – in the United States. Since 2004, the game has been played on the first Sunday in February. It is the culmination of a regular season that begins in the late summer of the previous year.
The game was created as part of a 1966 merger agreement between the NFL and its rival the American Football League (AFL). The first game was played on January 15, 1967, after both leagues had completed their respective 1966 seasons. After the merger, each league was re-designated as a “conference”, and the game has since been played between the conference champions to determine the NFL’s league champion.
The New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers have the most Super Bowl championship titles with six each. The Patriots have the most Super Bowl appearances with 11. The National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC) are tied with 27 Super Bowl wins each.
The Super Bowl is the second-largest day for U.S. food consumption, after Thanksgiving Day. In addition, the Super Bowl has frequently been the most-watched American television broadcast of the year; the seven most-watched broadcasts in American television history are Super Bowls.
In 2015, Super Bowl XLIX became the most-watched American television program in history with an audience of 114.4 million viewers, the fifth time in six years that the game had set a record. The Super Bowl is also among the most-watched sporting events in the world, and is second only to the UEFA Champions League (soccer) final as the most watched annual sporting event worldwide.
Commercial airtime during the Super Bowl broadcast is the most expensive of the year because of the high viewership, leading to companies regularly developing their most expensive advertisements for this broadcast. Watching and discussing the broadcast’s commercials has become a significant aspect of the event. In addition, popular singers and musicians have performed during the event’s pre-game and halftime ceremonies.
