  1. Drove through downtown Cincinnati tonight during my daily work commute and all of the buildings are lit up blue and red.   Paul Brown stadium is blue and the convention center turned their huge “Cincinnati” lights into a blue/red display.  Bengals have been my 2nd team since moving here in 2008 (when it has no impact on the Bills) and seeing how this city has stepped up has solidified that for me.   Especially with Zac Taylor as their coach.

  2. So far I have enjoyed the games but I really do not understand why they mostly chose cities that already have NFL teams. 
     

     I would have liked to see:

    - South Carolina (Columbia or Charleston)

    - Omaha

    - Austin or San Antonio

    - Detroit (people are begging for something other than the Lions)

    - St Louis

    - San Diego

    - Louisville or Lexington KY

    - Oklahoma City

     

    I also wonder what type of support they would have had if they chose a team in Buffalo?  I tend to believe the place would be packed this time of the year.

  3. Cancelled my satellite service yesterday to switch to Directvnow.   I was expecting them to offer something to keep me on satellite but they only offerred $10 off for 12 months.  Their rep on the phone was absolutely clueless.

     

    What reallky sucks is directvnow users are not able to purchase NFL Sunday ticket...

  4. You have got to be kidding me... The team is currently 4-2 and Marcell Dareus has done absolutely nothing to contribute to their current winning record. I watched him closely last week and I was not impressed at all. At no point did he seem like one of the top DT's in the league. Marcell was given every chance to succeed under multiple coaching staffs and he instead chose to make poor decisions and became a cancer in the locker room. Do you recall him publically throwing Rex Ryan under the bus last year and whining about his defense being too complicated? What was his excuse this season now that the defense has been simplified? It is Marcell's fault that he came into this year out of shape and chose laziness over discipline.

     

    With regards to his other moves, this team is in cap hell and like it or not Buffalo is not an attractive destination for free agents do to the franchise history and the national perception of Buffalo in general. They have to build through the draft and so far I give them an A+ for fielding a competitive team after getting rid of their "stars."

     

     

     

     

  5. The Cincinnati / NKY Buffalo Bills Backers group usually hosts a tailgate across the river in Covington under the bridge.

     

    We usually do Longworth but we went to their tailgate in Covington last year and had a blast. It is free parking and it only costs like a dollar to take the bus to the game.

     

    When it comes to tickets, my advice is to wait on buying them until a few weeks before the game. The fickle fan base here in Cincinnati will start dumping tickets when the Bengals start losing early in the season.

     

     

  6. Why would he make that up? I'm try to not be naive as to what happens in the parking lots. It doesn't seem (even a little) far-fetched to think that some drunk yelled that. He/she might have even said it in a joking tone (not that it makes it better). I don't necessarily believe that it was full of anger and rage. Klemko really doesn't benefit from making it up.

    The same reason why Clintons campaign manager was caught in an email yesterday wishing that the san bernandino shooter had an "american" name instead of a Muslim name. Everyone has an agenda in politics and using the shock factor gets the headline reading sheep on your side. Why else would he even post this?

     

    Right now most of the left Leaning sports media is of the opinion that kaepernick is allowed to do whatever he wants but anyone that questions him is a white guy that is probably a racist.
