Dirty Laundry

You know, I’ve read a lot of dumb things in my life. Hell, I’ve written a lot of dumb things in my life. Twenty-one years ago, I graduated from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism at Ohio University with a degree in journalism (specifically a BS, which I always found appropriate). And for two decades [...]

Things Are Tough All Over

The Cincinnati Bengals’ first attempt to entice wary and cash-strapped fans into buying available season tickets fell flat, and four-game ticket packs go on sale Monday.

In the morning, C Kyle Cook and LB Dhani Jones got into a scuffle after Cook told Jones bow ties were for wimps. In the afternoon, Cincinnati’s newest fast-casual restaurant, [...]

Bengals Minicamp Starts Today

Yeah, I’m still here. Apologies once again for the lack of updates, but between a new job and the arrival of summer, yours truly has found that the days are just packed.
Fortunately, the Bengals are doing their part, continuing the kind of only-eventful-in-a-good-way offseason that’s been all too rare in Cincinnati. There’s been an early [...]

Elvis Has Entered the Building

Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco arrived in Cincinnati today, much to the surprise of just about everyone. After passing a physical, he took part in his first voluntary workout since 2007.
Insert applause here.
Last night, after reading Chad’s plea for fan support on bengals.com, I wrote a short post entitled “Get On A Plane” which internet [...]
