Cincinnati can get to 3-1 overall and 2-0 in the AFC North with a win in Cleveland today. But they will have to get that W without Roy Williams and Tank Johnson, both of whom are out. Rookie and “Hard Knocks” star Tom Nelson is active for the first time this year, as is DE [...]

Funny, but I was just thinking the same thing last night that kirk mentioned this morning: the “Battle of Ohio” just ain’t what it used to be.
Being an old fart of 43, I can remember another time, a time when the week before a Bengals-Browns game was its own little...

The return of the Cardiac Cats has Bengaldom feeling its roar for the first time since 2005, but mind head coach Marvin Lewis: “After looking at the tape, obviously there’s a lot of correction to be made.”

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. And he made a trip to Cincinnati today. And I now owe my daughter $100 because I bet here there was no way they would win.
And you know what? She can have that cash gladly!

As some of you might recall, last April the NFL tweaked the schedule after Jets fans in the New York area kicked up a fuss about a conflict with a key Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur. As a consequence of the shuffle, the Pittsburgh – Cincinnati tilt was moved from 1 p.m. to a 4:15 start.

What a difference a week makes.

Half-man, Half-god, half-centaur, half-Tedy Bruschi, all I know is I wish he was my dad.

Game ball: DE Antwan Odom. Five sacks in a killer defensive effort (7 points came off a Carson Palmer pick-six, and a second pick gave the Pack the ball at the Bengals’ 11). Offense still needs work, but 31 points is the most the team has scored since the final week of the 2007...

It was a fluke. A lucky bounce. A play that could have been run a thousand times and never happen the exact same way.
So don’t jump off the Bengals bandwagon just yet. Don’t start blasting the entire team or calling for the head of Coach Lewis. Don’t start attacking...
