I don't think I pay for any website I use. Easy tip on the local papers that allow 10-15 articles a month for free, their mobile apps don't seem to track your viewing at all. At least that's the case for Cincinnati.com. I always run out on my computer, but never on my tablet, which is where I read m...

- This Super Bowl is the ultimate old school vs. new school game. Which team is more likely to force the other team to play the game it wants to? I think it's Denver personally unless the weather intervenes (no I don't want to have that discussion again). I suppose it is, but in an unusual way. You...

Love the Mike Zimmer hire. Dude seems to be the anti-thesis of Leslie Frazier. I was always shocked that Frazier got a head coaching gig. He was a solid d-coordinator and was very popular with the players when Childress was fired. They were only 1 year removed from the NFC Championship game, so I t...

So the rumor that Tom Thibodeau may be traded to the Knicks appears to be more than a rumor. In the meantime the Bulls have won 5 in a row and if they don't start tanking really soon they're going to make the playoffs. If they can't trade him they're going to have to fire him and buy him out of his...

palmeiro was never getting in, as impressive as 3000/500 is. if nothing else, he had the finger wag in congress working against him. if ever there was a lasting image of lying about steroids, that would be it as for le batard, its debatable whether he really "gave up his vote." i would sa...

Jay Gruden is the new Head Coach of the Redskins. Not sure if we have any Skins fan here but do you think this excites them? If his name was Jay Jones would he have this job? I'm just not sure he's done anything to warrant being a head coach. Still the NFL is a better league when Washington is a fa...

Just an update to my post from last week, final results of the BCS Bowls (16 Seasons and 72 Bowl Games): SEC: 17-10 (.630); 9 Championships Non-BCS Conferences: 5-3 (.625); 0 Championships PAC 10: 13-8 (.619); 1 Championship Big East/AAC: 9-7 (.563); 1 Championship Big 12: 10-11 (.476); 2 Championsh...

And since you were playing last second scenarios, w/ its time outs, Auburn had a legit chance of tying the game because all it would have taken was a field goal. And you miss the 2, and that theoretical field goal wins it instead of tieing it. I'm with Iowan. Once you have to go for 17 yards instea...

Hey Clams, can you think of a game would could play to determine the "official" ranking? For what it's worth, here are mine: 1 - Southeastern 2 - Sirens of the Ditch 3 - Here We Rest 4 - S/T 2 and 3 are pretty close for me. And while I may prefer either of them to Southeastern on days I fe...

What's up with everybody arguing hypotheticals? You're like some Cleveland fans I know arguing over how quickly they would sell out a playoff game.

Ugh, Bungals. Damnit. I think you at least have to look at other QB options than Dalton. Problem is, I don't know that there's an immediate upgrade out there. Hopefully they can get somebody decent fairly early in the draft, and let Dalton walk after next year. I'm not sure about Lewis anymore eithe...

From just trying to look myself, I think those may have been right, or at least damn close. Through last night's game: SEC 17-9 (.654) Non-BCS Conf. 5-3 (.625) PAC 10 13-8 (.619) Big East/AAC 9-7 (.563) Big 12 10-11 (.476) Big 10 13-15 (.464) ACC 3-13 (.188) Notre Dame 0-4 (.000) Of the three ACC wi...

Interesting stat I heard yesterday (and these numbers are pre Alabama/Oklahoma last night): The Big East/AAC finishes with a better win % in BCS bowl games (.563) than the Big 10 (.481), Big 12 (.429), ACC (.188), and Notre Dame (.000). Edit: That may need some fact checking. Not sure I trust it upo...

Lexington, Chattanooga, and Little Rock. I'm not sure, but I'm thinking that I should be offended. I've lived in Ohio all my life, never been to Little Rock, and only driven through Chattanooga. Granted, Lexington is close, but I've only been there for concerts or drinking.

A successful season is winning, or at least being in, that milestone game with everything else being abject failure. I know this intellectually. I worry about you, TC. I really do. Is this not the one and only objective in sports? You disagree with this axiom often but don't say why. Help me unders...

Talk about your long waits, this doesn't hit theatres until July 11th. h_9-3Fj3ZdI Yeah, I don't know. I didn't care for the first one at all, in fact I didn't make it past about halfway.

Although I haven't heard as many of these albums as I would have in years past, I thought overall it's been a down year. I've heard a lot of decent stuff, but really only two albums stick out in my mind. Jason Isbell - Southeastern I Can Lick Any Sonofabitch In The House - Mayberry Everything else I...

So, both teams are completely out of the playoff picture. That has not prevented this game from being tense and entertaining. The NFL kicks ass. I didn't see it, but that's the first positive comment I've heard or read regarding the game. I was too busy watching Bridgewater pull another one out of ...

Do you really think Ohio State has played the same kind of conference schedule the past 2 seasons that teams in the SEC have done? If SOS is what we're worried about, mabye Florida State should be the ones on the outside looking in. After all, their strength of schedule is 5 spots worse than Ohio S...

How on earth did they lose money going to the Orange Bowl? That bowl probably pays at least 5x what the Gator Bowl or whatever would pay. I don't buy that for a second Well it has certainly been disputed with more than one source saying that they made $250,000 but people i know swear they lost $100...

I can only think of High Pitch Eric every time I hear the name Kelly Clarkson.

Crusty, you're really good at this. That's a statement of fact, not a compliment And yeah, thanks for digging into "Arielle" a bit. I completely agree. It would be very easy just to dig into the past with DBT and the split, but you ignored all of it and focused on the album. I think that'...

Saw a funny tween about Fielder earlier today, can't remember who it came from. Something to the effect though that Josh Hamilton is built like a god and has reached 150 games played only twice in the last six seasons, while Prince Fielder is fat and has only missed one game in the last five years.

As if making terrible music wasn't quite enough...

Heard it but didn't know it was Ben NIchols. So I looked it up and it's called The Last Pale Light in the West. it's a Ben Nichols solo thing based on Cormac McCarthy's Blood Meridian! It's really a fantastic little record. Still can't make it all the way through Blood Meridian though. I completely...
