Little Brother Reaching New Heights

Just wanted to post a great article about my little bro's B-ball success in his final year at Holy Cross High School just across the river in Covington, KY.

OK....So They Lost Again

The Cincinnati Bengals have managed to maintain their season reputation for being one of the worst teams in the league.

So what?

Cincinnati has seen its ups and down with the Bengals over the last few decades and it has not been since 1988 since they almost won the Super Bowl.

Even in this time of downward mobility and losing games (not to mention one tie game....let's not forget that), let's not forget the good things that the Bengals bring to the city of Cincinnati.

There is the, you know....

And you can't forget about the....ummm....

OK, I can;t think of too many things either, but don't give up on them!

New Prospects for the Bengals

I love watching sports (mostly college basketball and pro-football).

I love watching sports when the home team is involved (UC Bearcats, Xavier Musketeers and Cincinnati Bengals).

Basketball season over, the only thing that I have to (other than the Summer Olympics) is Pro-foot ball, and with this season's picks, I think that the Bengals may have close to a chance of doing pretty well.

Just as long as they keep their players who do not want to play for them off the field.

Here is a rundown of what transpired:

Round / Overall / Player / Pos. / School

1 / 9 / Keith Rivers / LB

2 / 46 / Jerome Simpson / WR / Coastal Carolina

3 / 77 / Pat Sims / DT / Auburn

3/ 97 / Andre Caldwell / WR / Florida

4/ 112 / Anthony Collins / OT-G / Kansas

5/ 145 / Jason Shirley / DT / Fresno State

6/ 177 / Corey Lynch / S / Appalachian State

6 / 207 / Matt Sherry / TE / Villanova

7/ 244 / Angelo Craig / DE-LB / Cincinnati (Yeah for the Queen City!)

7 / 246 / Mario Urrutia / WR / Louisville

Like Brother...Like Brother?

Being a closet sports fan, I usually stay abreast of major sports stories that circumvent the sports arena (no pun intended). Albeit, it’s in a tertiary manor that I do so, but at least I can tell you that there is a very big football game going on this weekend. I can even tell you the color of the team's outfits. Just kidding… My experience playing football against Shaun Alexander in high school gives me a bit more credit than that.

One thing that I did not know was that Carson Palmer had a younger brother who was in the NFL. Not until I found out that Jordan Palmer (who from know on will be known as Lil’ Palmer) has just been signed to a two year deal with the Bengals.

Let's see how many people with the same last name we can put on one pro football team....what do ya say?
