Courtney Roby gave the home crowd a run for its money Thursday night at Lucas Oil Stadium. Roby returned a kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown in the Indianapolis Colts' 27-7 preseason loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He is an Indianapolis native and a North Central High School graduate who would be thrilled beyond expression to make the team he grew up idolizing. "I really can't describe it. It would be a feeling like no other, especially me being from Indianapolis," said Roby, who averaged 37.4 yards for his nine kickoff returns during the preseason. "Hopefully I've done enough. "I really have to give credit to my blockers. My job is simple, just hit the crease and make sure they don't have to stay on their blocks long."

Preseason Review: MVPs and The Last Roster Prediction
The preseason is over. Finally. 5 games is way too much. It is such a bitter sweet season. I'm watching the Colts, but I'm not watching the Colts play a real game with their best players, so I'm not really watching the Colts I know. It is fun to speculate on who will make the roster, but I

Anderson Works Out BYU RB (FB?)
Cincinnati Bengals running backs coach Jim Anderson was at BYU yesterday working out RB Fui Vakapuna.
At just under 6′ and 244 lbs., Vakapuna could be more suited to a fullback role. The Bengals have been looking for a fullback to replace Jeremi Johnson, who was cut last season.
NFLdraftscout.com ranks Vakapuna as the 19th-best FB in [...]

Ocho Cinco dialed into one number: numero uno
There has yet to be a person of able body and sound mind who didn't occasionally need a dash of humility.
Receivers just seem to need bucketfuls.
Javon Walker was almost humbled this offseason until he found free-agent savior Al Davis.
Brandon Marshall was humbled by Jay Cutler, who was humbled by John Elway, who presumably is humbled whenever he...
How McNabb helped tame Ocho Cinco
He leaned against a makeshift bar in the ESPN green room before yet another in a seemingly endless string of TV appearances leading up to Super Bowl XLII in Arizona last February, and in an instant, Chad Johnson went from cordial to downright crotchety.
A reporter called Johnson's cell phone to ask about Johnson's repeated demands that the Cincinnati Bengals trade him. Although...
Cincinnati Bengals reveal plans for stadium on Alcatraz
Due to mounting pressure for a solution to off the field behavior issues, and rumblings about the 49ers skipping town, the Cincinnati Bengals are planning a move to San Fransisco Bay. According to team officials, the new stadium will be built on Alcatraz to accommodate the drafting of more "bad ass thugs" and the acquistion of Adam "Pacman" Jones.
Bengals need a Ringer on offense
ALL ABOARD! Next stop Cincinnati!
Here's what I want to hear come April, "With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft, the Cincinnati Bengals select Javon Ringer, running back from Michigan State University."
Michigan State running back Javon Ringer is the man, and as a Bengals fan, I look forward to him being our top pick. You think I'm kidding? Then you are...
About this Jamall Broussard character?
The Miami Dolphins have acquired special teams hopeful Jamall Broussard from the Cincinnati Bengals.

Ple...

Baltimore's African white-naped raven
Baltimore is training a live bird to serve as a team mascot. I bet PETA hates this sort of thing. Hopefully they complain loudly. Not because I don't like the prospect of having a real, live African white-naped raven flying around the stadium, but because PETA never raises much of a fuss unless the quote-unquote offender is a high-profile target, and unless the Ravens win a bunch...

Chad Johnson wants out of Cincinatti and he says it has everything to do with his team's inability to compete.
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis called Chad Johnson's bluff earlier this week, saying the Pro Bowl receiver should make good on his promise to sit out the season.
"I've stated our case with Chad...

Can Cincinnati ever catch a break in the game of life? Their hero, Pete Rose, bet on baseball. The owner of their beloved Reds, Marge Schott, hated blacks and Jews. And their lovable Cincinnati Bengals have a long history of a) losing games and b) getting thrown into prison. What's next? How about the Cincinnati Bearcats?
