YEAR TWO. DAY ONE. THIS IS WHAT I'LL DAZZLE YOU WITH?
-Why is Marvin Lewis forcing his support for the National Organization for Women on his players?

-Is the Bengals "window" open, closing, or closed?

-This may seem harsh....

"His grandmother's been buried for quite a while,"Lewis said. “Don’t get into his whole family structure. He has not played football in two years. And we have people who will be better for our football team.”

“We’ve been patient enough with Odell, and he’s no longer here. No big deal.”

....but is it the sign of the tougher, less tolerant Marvin we've been begging for?

-If you didn’t watch it/listen to it, did it really happen?? Can we just pretend that whatever happens west of the Mississippi doesn’t really count for anything? I feel like taking a really long Reds nap and when I wake up they will have won 6 games in a row.

-There are reports this morning, right now unsubstantiated of Cyclones fans spray painting Cyclones logos on public property. Backwards. You act like a loon after you win the championship. Or is this symbolic of the fact the we are so starved for winning we've forgotten to behave? If you want your team taken seriously, can you have your fans acting like that?

-Please explain why the WWE has a steroids policy.

-My streak of never having watched American Idol after the freak stage is in tact, but apparently, Carrie Underwood was tremendous last night.

-Our golf outing is tomorrow (you're playing, right?). I'm the worst golfer on the planet, but I enjoy playing. What are the best things that you can enjoy while completely sucking at it?

-I have tickets for Tuesday night, therefore I want John Fay to be right.

I'm saying with prediction that Bruce gets the call when the Reds return home. Again, that's just a hunch.

If that happens, is it enough to get you to go out to ball games? And, more importantly, what will Reds fans pine for once Bruce is here? At least when we lose one game, everyone can roll with the “AHHHH where’s Jay Bruce?? Jay doesn’t let this stuff happen!!”
