http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com Reaching for that Super Bowl star since 1937 Thu, 02 Nov 2006 20:20:36 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Irony, you fickle bitch. It would seem only natural that the one time I start to believe in this team, the one time I allow my hope to start to come out of hiding, the moment I declare that an 8-0 start to the year is a distinct possibility, the Bengals ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=44 "I'm taking a risk. I'm coming out," Johnson said. "Coach Lewis has told me to tone it (down). He's told me to be quiet. I've been quiet all year. I haven't said much. I'm back. I'm back. I'm going to let it rip. My name isn't Chad no more. We're ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=43 Dear Cincinnati Bengals, What. The. Hell. I've talked about before how I get to see very few Bengals games on TV, especially this year for some reason. I was resigned to only seeing you guys on TV during the playoffs – which I was positive you'd make – so it came as ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=42 We played terrible. Do I really need to say more than that? Our defense, once again, had trouble stopping the run. Willie Parker amassed 133 yards on 31 carries for an average of 4.3 yards per rush. If someone manages to get over three yards per carry that ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=41 I've never been a real big fan of Week 1 in the NFL. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic that football has returned. It's just that, well, it's so damn hard to figure out anything after just one week's worth of games. I've said it once and I'll say ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=40 Sometimes writing for this site can be a little difficult. I don't live in the same time zone as most Bengals fans and I don't have cable and its myriad of sports game packages. So last Sunday, instead of watching Cinci vs. KC, I was stuck watching the horribly inept ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=39 "I have a surprise for you!" I awoke a couple Saturday's ago to hearing these words from my wife. A surprise? Well now, this might be interesting. I admit, I'm not really one for suspense or delayed gratification. This has caused more than a little grief to my wife ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=38 The other day I'm doing the usual things I do when it isn't football season. Namely, playing video games. In this case EVE Online, which has become my latest obsession after some real-life non-Bengals-loving friends got me interested in it. While I'm in the other room hauling ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=37 For someone who professed to not be a Bengals fan, their 17-31 post season loss to the Steelers has hit me far harder than I ever thought possible. I'm probably going to sound weird here, but for a couple weeks afterward I could barely think about it. I didn't visit my ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=14 So where was I, again? Oh yeah, the game. Gee, how could I forget. I'm still incredibly pissed off. It's only now after a few days that I can at least form coherent sentences about what I witnessed on Sunday. Truthfully though, I'm not all that angry that Cincinnati lost the ... http://www.gobengalssuperbowl.com/?p=36
