It seems too easy to pile on Al Davis and the Oakland Raider Asylum; that bit has done before, so we’ll just skip it altogether.
Instead, the focus this week for the Bengals is preparing for the best thing the Raiders have going for them: their location.
Every week it seems [...]

It is looking very unlikely that Cincinnati Bengals running back Cedric Benson will suit up Sunday against the Oakland Raiders after missing practice again due to a hip injury. Assuming that is the case, recently signed RB Larry Johnson should see an increased workload.

The way to approach this weekend’s epic struggle in Pittsburgh is to ask yourself: “Why won’t the Bengals win?”
If your response consisted of: a) because they’re the Bengals, b) because it’s the Steelers, or c) because it’s a big game on the road...

This was a game of cognition.
On October 27th, I wrote this:

In the backroom of a shady saloon just on the edge of town, the Ravens await. They sit there hunkered over a card-table with a half-bottle of cheap rum and an old, shaggy dog named Cleveland, curled up and sleeping at their feet. They’ve been there since daybreak and they say...

It appears the NFL has finally out-priced itself.
The first-place Bengals, fresh off of a near-perfect game against the Bears, are still 4,500 tickets away from selling out this Sunday against the Ravens. The logically impulsive thing to do is stand up, point at Mike Brown and call...

Toughness. Professionalism. Aggressiveness. Fortitude.
When was the last time these words accurately defined our Cincinnati Bengals? 1990? 1980? Ever?
A franchise that’s been defined by finesse, flamboyance, and (usually) failure, seems to finally have some hair on its proverbial...

We Bengal fans are doubters; it comes with the program.
Like veteran circus freaks, we’ve been kicked around for a long time and we have trust issues with management. Bengal fans usually draw pity-smiles from the football world and any success often comes with a condescending...
Welcome to the Jungle Once Again!

Its funny how life unfolds, how one single game of football reflects ones entire life. Dec 17th of 1989 at the age 9 years old I was sitting with my father watching his beloved Cincinnati Bengals. To most fans that day isn’t really a memorable occasion. I’m not like most...

Somewhere in the cosmos, football demigods, Paul Brown and George Halas, spent the last few days arm-wrestling and taking cheap digs at one another in preparation for this week’s game. They’re still at it; purple-faced and winded, but unrelenting in spirit. Late Sunday...
