Well, I heard that Carson Palmer is not starting this week due to elbow problem. I am not confident anymore that we will win too many games this season. I will make this one short and brief since I am still do not have my laptop up and running. I will tell you, typing from work is not fun since I gotta get out of here!

I have to make this short, my laptop still down, still typing from working and gotta go give blood soon. I have so much to say but not enough time. I don't know how we will play Sunday. I find the Ben

Well this is the battle of the Ohio Teams again! We have the Cleveland Brown here at Cincinnati for a home game. I know they usually say the home team always win but I am not too sure on some teams. I am not predicting who will win this week; all I am saying is that the Bengals may win. I am not predicting who has the best defense, offense or special teams because the Browns have not come out this season any better than the Bengals. I mean, look at them; they are 0-3 too! The only thing I will say; I don't want to see a game like our last year home game with them. That was crazy! Neither team showed any defense, I don't care if the score was 45-51. A few notes thought: I want the offensive line to predict Carson, Carson needs to release the ball quicker, we still need to get more first downs, complete 3rd and 4th downs, have a better running game and score when we are in the red zone! I don't care what the Browns do we need to pound them in the ground!

We played a good game this week.  I feel most players were playing way better than they played in the first 2 games.  Carson was showing some leadership; offense and defense played way better.  I feel defense was the best asset this time.  They did keep Giants scoring down but we need to score more and play the clock better.  Some passes to Chad Johnson aka Ocho Cinco was still a bit off.   He had chances and dropped 2 but I know one was on a hard hit.  TJ still had some catches and a few good blocks so that was good.  All in all we made progress this time, if only we can keep it up when we play Cleveland next!

This is horrible! I cannot go with my Bengals this week. I am so torn but I have to go with my feelings on who the true players are! I will make this short and give my prediction and tell you why. I will add a personal note since I had a bad week but blessed to say, it was not like the hurricane victims. I pray, they continue to succumb the events of this week. On Sunday, the 14th; we all know now that the Bengals lost to Titans, we had a wind storm in some parts of Ohio and surrounding areas, lost power for X amount of days&some still without it tonight, my personal laptop crashed on Monday, ran out of gas on Tuesday due to people going crazy at the gas pumps&stations ran out of gas but all in all I am happy now! I am still at work, LOL; doing what I love most, BLOGGING! I gotta get out here, I must be crazy!

I don’t believe that we can lose 2 games in a row!The game last week against the Ravens was horrible.  You would have thought we forgot how to play football. When their starting quarterback has more rushing yards than our running backs, it does not seem right!  When Carson is at the bottom of the list in QB rating that does not seem right!  I figured after that Ravens game, we would play better this week.

Well! here we go again, another week to look forward to.  I so love the Bengals after our week 1 meltdown!  Vince Young is out this week with a knee injury but doesn't make the game less of a challenge.  Carson Palmer our seasoned QB goes against Kerry Collins their seasoned veteran QB.  I know Kerry Collins is older, don't play many games but he is still good!  He took the Titans through some playoff games last season and I thought they were going to make it to the Super Bowl game.  He lead the players down the field with good ease.  I am not concerned about who starts, it doesn't matter with us.  All I hope is that Special Teams, Defense and Offense come out to give a competitive game and get a win!

I love the NFL! I love the Bengals! This is the day I have been waiting for. A new season, a fresh start, some new players, old ones are gone and some familiar faces remain. The bottom line is; the game does not change. As Herm Edwards has said; "we play to win the game". I hope we win Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. It shouldn't matter that we do have Rudy Johnson, Willie Anderson, Deltha O'Neil; you get injured, make a mistake, get old or it may be money: you may be gone. It doesn't matter that you were dependable; just like our 9-5 jobs, you are gone. As some leave, one is back; no matter how many mistakes you make, one, two, three or more: Chris Henry is back! Well, just like the start of last season, he is suspended for the start of this season, 4 games. We will survive without him. Now on to my prediction for the game.

Just picture it: it’s the top of the ninth inning and the Toronto Blue Jays are holding a slim 2-1 lead over the New York Yankees. Up to bat is Derek Jeter with Bobby Abreu and Alex Rodriguez on deck. Cito Gaston, in order to shut the door on the game and the series gets on the phone and brings in the big gun, Pedro Luis Lazo, winner of two Olympic Gold medals with Cuba and current closer of the Blue Jays. And even if he gives up a run its okay, because leading off the bottom of the ninth for the Jays is Alexei Bell, who hit 30 HR with 100 RBI with Santiago del Cuba last year.

According to several blogs, including Baseball Digest Daily, Mark Teixeira is headed to the Angels, in exchange for middling 1B Casey Kotchman and minor-league pitcher Stephen Marek, with perhaps others thrown into the mix.

Just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, it doesn't, it just sort of stays the same.

Julius Jones has signed with the Hawks giving them a running corps of five backs I could care less about. I thought Duckett (a clone of Leonard Weaver) was a waste of time and money, but this move really takes the cake.

His future was limitless. Sure, he was a bit undersized, but Oregon's Joey Harrington could throw the football. Joey Heisman had a billboard in Times Square for goodness sake.

And now, here he stands a free agent.

den death of his father,  Favre passed for 399 yards and four touchdowns on "Monday Night Football" in a blowout win.  Remember on September 30, 2007 Favre passed Dan Marino in most touchdowns with 421 in his house of horror Metrodome against the Vikings.  This can go on for days.  He has so many accomplishments and has showed so much that it would be wrong to remember him by throwing an interception in his final game.

But we get left behind without a maverick. Football and the NFL have transformed into an American game of Roman proportions since the Atlanta Falcons decided it would be a smart idea to shop Favre. His retirement officially signifies the end of a football era.

I have never claimed to be an expert when it comes to predicting outcomes of football games, although last year I nearly predicted the exact final score of the Super Bowl while hitting on seven of my nine prop bets. (My prediction was 26-17, the final was 29-17.) For whatever reason I had a very good feel for that game. This year's Super Bowl, however, remains a mystery to me. Part of the reason I am having trouble getting a good feel for this game is that I am a bitter Jets fan and I can't stand either team. I'm finding it difficult to put my personal feelings aside and look at the game objectively. I think right now I am as close to objectivity as I am going to get, and with that being said, here is my official Super Bowl XLII prediction.
