Joe Flacco Is Living His Best Life Right Now

Welcome to Joe Flacco’s current chapter: a solitary quarterback adjusting to life in a new city. After the Browns traded him to the Bengals, Flacco is now divulging his experiences of residing in Cincinnati. “I used to observe men alone at bars or dining solo and feel sorry for them, thinking, ‘I should join that guy,’” he expressed during his Wednesday press conference. “Now, I see that fellow was truly content.” These remarks emerge as Flacco reflects on playing in Cleveland and Cincinnati this season, despite his family not being with him. He noted that there haven’t been many Bengals supporters seeking photos with him at restaurants, as he prefers dining at 4:30 p.m. to avoid crowds—a humorous nod to his age. While the press conference was lighthearted, Flacco emphasized his desire for family companionship. They will be visiting Cincinnati for Sunday’s matchup with the New York Jets, offering him shared dining this time. Loneliness in a new city seems to be Flacco's unexpected challenge.
