I've yet to come to terms with my own problem. Just this season, I continue to have high hopes, although history has taught me nothing but otherwise.

smithnyiu, I feel your pain brother. I'm a Bengals fan.

Just posting my picks for the NFL this weekend and realized that the Lions are a favorite. Might want to bring an umbrella to work this week, as I believe it may start raining frogs or blood any moment.

It seems like this news warrants some sort of reaction, although I'm not sure what. Shanny was one of the all-time great badasses to play the game, and his retirement is an end of an era. As a Whaler fan, I feel like I should somehow resent him for his brief stint at the mall, but as a hockey player I just have too much respect for him to resent. From that lightning quick snap shot, to the ratty old pair of shoulder pads he sported seemingly from the onset of adulthood (unlike today's weapons), the guy just exemplified everything that hockey was about. Thanks for the memories, Shanny.

The claim isn't simply centered around who may or may not be "affended." Native Americans are a suspect class, as they have traditionally been discriminated against and treated as second class citizens. If a couple of you want to learn about the issue, there have been three or four threads per year with some very intelligent dialogue. Most of us have been through this discussion a few times, though, and are fairly tired of answering "pc bullshit" claims and the like. I'd highly recommend looking back at a few before chiming in.

Doehead, with a prescience beyond that of Kreskin, has made me once again eat a bit of crow. I hate this signing, and I really hope that he'll remain inactive for the immediate future. Of course, that means that Benson needs to heal up quickly.
I really wish that Mike Brown wasn't determined to save the world one troubled young man at a time. He rolled the dice with Benson and, for the time being, hit the jackpot; that doesn't mean you're infallible, Mike.

I think I mentioned it in a later post, but those guys aren't rookies. Hall's a 3rd year out of michigan and Joseph is a fourth year out of S. Carolina. They're just beginning to play pretty well together, so nobody noticed them before this season. Enjoy the game!just, hopefully, not too much

I'm with you on the good game Debo, I just have a bad feeling about the ultimate outcome for a couple of reasons. First, it's tough as hell to win at Heinz field, no matter who you are. Second, it's really tough to sweep a season series against a division rival. Third, it's the Pittsburgh freakin' Steelers; somehow I doubt they'll roll over easily to let the Bengals get that huge advantage in the standings (with Oakland and Detroit on the horizon for Cincy.) Without our most effective pass rusher, I think Roethlisberger's going to give the secondary fits. I know Hall and Joseph have emerged as an elite tandem after a few years of playing together, but when someone has too long in the pocket, someone's going to get open. I'm not going to use Henry as an excuse (even though he's been a terror to the Steelers) because the Bengals are pretty damn deep at receiver, I just think that this week the Steelers are probably the better team.
Of course, should the Bengals win, then rescind all previous comments; nyah, nyah and all that good stuff.

Of those thousands in American waterways, more than I would like to admit are mine. I promise, though, that not a single one is intentional, and I'd gladly take back the Titlists.

Wouldn't the best solution for NE be to go back to the original? One of the best helmets ever, in my opinion.

Well, then, mea culpa. I agree that the jokes are going to linger (shit, in this country, we still tack the suffix "-gate" to every scandal) I just get sick of derision from smug Steeler fans, many of whom happen to be friends of mine. I tend to [over]react to fairly innocuous jokes. On a side note, should be one hell of a game this Sunday. Go Boat Arrest Benson!
to further the pain, a buddy of mine in the 'burgh called to offer me one of his seats to the game, but I can't make it.

Actually, Cedric "I was acquitted of all of those charges that were filed against me while I was on the Chicago Bears" Benson is 2nd in the NFL in rushing. Not saying he's a saint or anything, just that there hasn't been a disciplinary problem involving a member of the Bengals for quite some time now. There's been countless arrests on your end to keep Steelers fans distracted, though, I know. cedric wilson and james harrison who hit women, jeff reed got pissed at a towel dispenser, just to name those since Benson became the starter in Cincy...

He looks like a perfect fit for the Bengals.
You're a few years late with that snappy little zinger.

AP Columnist: 'Soccer Players Can't Be Trusted'
Just one more reason why I love the game of golf. So now it's (1) honest players policing themselves; and (2) sweet plaid pants
