Get 'cho popcorn ready

"This is gonna be scary" Chad Ochocinco said of he and friend/new teammate Terrell Owens lining up on opposite sides of the field this season. You know what? He's right. But it's not just the two of them that will make the Bengals offense frightening to opposing defenses in 2010. A solid offensive line, a good running game, and one of the deepest corps of receivers in the NFL help out as well. Andre Caldwell is an up-and-coming star, and should be a fantastic #3 receiver. Let's get started.

T.O.'s too much

At first, I was all for Trellel Owens suiting up in Bengal's stripes in 2010. Then I thought about it. Take one look at Cincinnati's roster. Check out the depth at wide receiver. Names like Chad Ochocinco, Antiono Bryant Jerome Simpson, and Jordan Shipley are supposed to be at the top. If T.O. came onboard, a young talent would certainly be cut. And young guns like Simspon and Shipley wouldn't get playing time. All so a 36 year-old could try to rebound from one of his worst pro seasons.

My Midnight Thoughts

The Miami Heat will win the NBA championship this year.
LeBron James did what he had to do, don't judge him because he wants to win.
I miss the old Tiger Woods, but he's still the best.
Brett Favre?........ nope, not ringing a bell.
The Reds are still in it, and I am still cautiously optimistic.
The N.L. just won the all-star game for the first time since i could write in cursive. . . it's about freaking time.
Also, I'm very tired.

My thoughts on the Lakers (in 512 characters or less)

Wow.
I thought about just leaving this post at just that. Wow. Honestly, that fairly sums up my thoughts on Los Angles' second straight NBA championship. Wow. And it doesn't get much 'less' than 512 characters. So, simple as it is, all I can say is wow.
It makes it all the better for the Lakers that Kobe Bryant was not the main factor in game seven. "I sucked" Bryant said with a smile after the game. That's the difference between the Lakers and Cavaliers, they can win without their star playing like it.

The definition of skepticism

Ok I'll admit it: as I type this article on my cell phone in June, I am a little excited about the Cincinnati Reds. It's crazy, isn't it? I mean, this is a team that hasn't made the playoffs this DECADE, and I have the nerve to say they might have actually assembled a decent team?
It's probably the heat talking. Because c'mon, this is the "Shreds" we're talking about.
Bottom line: I'm going to be weary of all Cincy sports forever, and my phone has a 512 character input limit.
