Is Apathy Contagious?
This arrived in my inbox today, two days after the fact, but still very telling. I find this extremely refreshing. Right now, the Bengals have a fairly good shot at making the playoffs. According to the projection models at Football Outsiders and Advanced NFL Stats, both of which take into account teams’ current records and how many [...]
A Eulogy.
This is all part of my therapy. Bear with me. If you recall, last year I stuck my neck out and predicted that the Bengals would advance far into the playoffs. After all, they were a playoff team the year before and it appeared to me that they only improved on both offense and defense. [...]
Yesterday’s Bengal Report: Fire Bratkowski
Yes. The Bengals fired their offensive coordinator. Eleven year veteran coach Bob Bratkowski (the white haired guy) was fired this week. It’s a step in the right direction, but there is a brick wall named Mike Brown in the path. Related articles Bengals fire Bratkowski as offensive coordinator (sportsillustrated.cnn.com)
Today’s Bengal Report: Mike Brown Replies
Image via Wikipedia Recall the letter I linked to last week from an irate if not well-versed fan? Mike Brown has responded. Here’s the key excerpt: You may scoff — and no one here would deny we are long overdue for postseason success — but I believe this means something toward a realistic forecast for [...]
Today’s Bengal Report: A Double Dip
Image by Bearman2007 via Flickr City of Cincinnati councilman Jeff Berding has resigned his political office to devote more time to his other job, Director of Ticket Sales for the Cincinnati Bengals. This should be a major indicator that season tickets sales are taking a big hit so far this off-season. The first installment is [...]
Today’s Bengal Post: A Lesson in Futility
Image by Bearman2007 via Flickr While this person may not be the best writer, his letter is obviously well-intentioned. Blogger’s Note: I would only follow that link and actually read the letter if you have (or ever had) any affinity for the Bengals. Granted it is a huge waste of time, but again, it’s nice [...]
Today’s Bengal Report: The Carson Palmer Express
Image by alexabboud via Flickr It is funny how the Bengals become instantly more interesting once the season is over. I have yet to address the Carson Palmer “trade me or I’ll quit” game that was announced last weekend. Because Palmer is intimately entwined with the disaster saga that is the Bengals, this recent development [...]
Marvin Lewis is a Loser.
Photo from cincinnati.com. I’d like to smack the smiles off these assholes. Stupid me, thinking that Marvin Lewis has a spine, that he would be firm with Li’l Mikey Boy and make him make some very serious and necessary changes in the structure of this piss poor team. Yes, stupid me. What exactly did Marvin [...]
At the Banks of The Rubicon.
Image by Getty Images via @daylife I’ve sworn off my life-long allegiance to the Cincinnati Bengals this past season as it became apparent that there was no interest among the Brown Family in winning football games on a consistent basis. The season is now over and we find ourselves at the proverbial Rubicon River. The choice [...]
