And so it begins.

Looks like the rookie will have AJ back. On that last note:

No AJ again this week, per Taylor. Not much reason to think anything other than 0-6, here we come.

Happy fake game day everybody! Here's to no injuries tonight. I'm going to set the over/under on sacks given up at 9. And I'm taking the over.

So we already know the Bengals will suck this year. Guess I'll check out the previews for the Reds and see how they are suppos...oh. Fuk. Go Reds. Let's see if we can lose fewer than 100 games.

2016 sucks. Rest in peace, champ. http://espn.go.com/sports/boxing/ali/news/story?id=3171301

Happy 35th!

So, guess who the NFL wants for halftime at Super Bowl 50? http://blacksportsonline.com/home/2015/06/taylor-swift-will-likely-be-super-bowl-50-halftime-performer/

Interesting read on the division's early struggles this season. I have to agree, the north isn't looking too peppy so far. />http://www.coldhardfootballfacts.com/content/medieval-football-modern-nfl-passes-by-afc-north/25071/

So I come across this column by Ray Ratto over at CBS this morning, in which Ray joins in the general Mike Brown bashing and unleashes this howler: Ummm...no. Brown will be paying for them, or at least he has to cut a check for about $22 per ticket to the league because the other owners still need to get their cut of those free ticket "sales." There was a clause in the lease that required the county to cover any shortfall in ticket sales up to 50,000 tickets -- so, for example, if the Bengals only sold 45,000 the county would have to buy the other 5,000 -- but that only covered the first 20 home games at PBS, which are long since past.
