Corey hits the bomb after Howard's bomb. Freel scores the winning run. I know this is tearing some of you apart. Who do I root for? Freel or Patt? How about rooting for the Reds?  Anyway, this was my first real good chance to watch so far and I am a believer in this teams competitiveness and professionalism, they still have a way to go to make me a believer in wins and losses.

Look, I'm a bearcat fan by heart and a hoosier by blood. Tom Crean is not the answer. You all will see. He's not going to do any more than he's done for marquette. If the hoosiers want to get to the final four again they need to bring back one of there own that have been there. My money would be on Isaiah,and his pacers were at least as good as the teams they have replaced him with. I'm just not impressed with him being the answer to Tubby, Thad, the first Tom and the guy who's coaching perdue now(?) First my bearcats now my hoosiers. What's next, my bengals?  Oops been there for most of my adult life.  Go marvin and at least make the first four draft picks count.

The bengals had to let him go. Too much time has been invested in him. I guess he didn't realize that he was really on the edge and didn't believe it until he fell off. I wonder who will pick him up and claim to have the answers for his growth. Watch him end up with the steelers.

I'm saying it now. I didn't say all black stars, I said some. With Chad being the most recent. We have to be realistic about where we all live. This is my opinion; I believe that this is a very conservative city and for those that have never left the tri-state area a bit slow compared to the rest of the country. (Try driving a huge moving truck with a car hitched to the back in jam packed traffic going 95 mph on the freeway. Crazy when your not from there, but I grew up driving on the back country roads of Indiana and polished my skills off in clifton) That's why I recommend Bar 13 the next time your in wrigleyville. It's down from the shell gas station.

We're not use to flashy black folk in this region and never have been. Where I'm from, it would be like Woody Austin from Richmond coming in to Connersville to play in the Spartan Bowl(greatest gyms for high school basketball are in Indiana). The town I'm from was loyal to the blacks on there team and that was it. Get the other @#$@ %@'s!!! Chad Johnson is big city and he works in little city and espn are antagonist. Starting stuff all the time. Just to find somebody to blame for last year's misfortune, I saw the city's media and fans start picking apart Chad's performances game by game.  For real people, was it all his fault? He did have over forteen hundred yards with a great qb with a subpar line.  No one ever remembered that though, it was always what Chad did wrong that game. After time the conclusion came to trade him. I don't see how, you as fans would rather see great reciever in TJ(I'll give him that) instead of a Lynn Swann hybrid in Chad Johnson have a tremendous stat shattering season with a fully loaded offense.  I will say that it all depends on Rudi, he's what we have.

I'm just pleading with the city to be careful of there opinions. This same city wanting to get rid of the black guy demonstrating his feelings no matter what they are(you never get mad at your job?) allowed some guys to come down to fountain square and demonstrate there feelings with crosses and white sheets. This is just Chad and business is business. You don't have to like him, just like what he does to d's. ignore espn

Hey there everyone! I'm Dust. I'm from a small town in Indiana and I'm a Hoosier by heart and a bearcat fan by nature. I have never thought about having one of these things but I decided to after hearing more and more of these conservative radio host dog mostly the athletes that act like they have some sort of life outside of Cincinnati. That is why I have decided to use this blog as the "other side of sports" the side that will deal with the small minded thinking that goes on here way too often. Go Bengals and leave Chad alone!
