So the Bengals actually won a game!I watched almost all of the game yesterday. Don't know why. I guess I just had a feeling that this was going to be the week. Once the Bengals jumped out in front of the Jaguars 20-3 I thought to myself, "Wow, they might actually win this thing!"
Of course, they tried to give the thing away, and only a rushed throw on a two point conversion prevented the Bengals from snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Still, though, a win is a win...
...Even if it is 2 months too late to matter!

Speaking of the election, I received emails on Friday, Saturday AND Sunday from Barack Obama. All three emails said that he was going to be in Cincinnati Sunday night and he'd love to see me while he was in town. I replied to the third email and told him that my girls were hosting a sleepover for their friends Sunday night and I couldn't possibly get away, but that maybe he and I could get together for coffee the next time he was in town. Haven't heard back from him yet, but I'll let you know if I do.

Damn Now I don't have the Jags for the playoffs, oh well next week the Bungels will start a new losing streak, but maybe I will be lucky and have 15 teams to root for. Read Paul Daugherty's column today about Paul Brown.
Hi, Prentiss. Just read Paul Daugherty's column (A couple of days late, I know). I agree with him for the most part. Mike Brown doesn't really care about the Bengals fans...unless they stop coming to the games.
I do have a problem, as one reader commented on the cincinnati.com website, about Daugherty's overuse of the word "immoral" to describe Brown's treatment of the fans. "Unethical" might be a better word, as I see nothing immoral about whether or not the Bengals win.
Thanks for the point the article out, though. I've been a fan of Daugherty for a long time. He's honest but not abrasive. He doesn't pull punches, but he doesn't throw them without cause, either. And in the '90's, when the Bengals were absolutely TERRIBLE, his assessments on the Monday after the Bengals loss made for some comfort--it was nice to know someone else was as fed up with it all as the fans were.
