Cincinnati has a winning team!  What an experience to witness the winning of the Kelly Cup last night by the Cincinnati Cyclones.  We joined almost 13,000 of our closest friends to enjoy the fast paced evening.  (My ONLy complaint is the US Bank Arena was clearly not ready for the crowd at the concession stands.) 

The excitment was overwhelming from the very beginning to the very end!  We stayed to watch as each players continued the tradition of holding up the cup and giving it a big kiss.  Even Mo had the chance to kiss the cup this morning!

Bengals season is just around the corner.  For us, it has begun!  I was lucky enough to help out with showing the Bengals Radio Network clients around the Bengals Mini Camp today at Paul Brown Stadium.  It was awesome standing on the 50 yard line taking pictures and checking out the players so close.  There were light drills in the over 90 degree heat.  No sign of Chad Johnson, but Carson Palmer was out throwing the ball around.  I had a little conversation with the coach himself.  Coach Lewis had surgery on his leg yesterday and he shared with me that he was doing very well and doesn't expect to be leaning on his cane for very long.    Here is a sample of some of the pictures I took.  There are tons more in my photo gallery.
