As a Bearcat fan (I hate the Bengals), I'm THRILLED that LaFevour is now in Cincy. UC's campus is ~3 miles from downtown - hopefully he can reconnect with his old coach and help UC's offense get their **** together after the whooping they took last night to Fresno.

Not saying that Simmon's evaluation is wrong, but he's the biggest Boston homer blowhard in the media.

Please tell me that you actually think "mixed martial arts" means "art convention"

Could it be that he was overwhelmed by the greatness that is Bret Favre?

Something tells me that you'll need a shitload of money for your legal fees after that.

Because you're in the Bill's market.

Likewise, Bright House Network down here in Florida...I think its a TW owned/affiliated company. F&$K...looks like I'll be going out tonight.

I lived in Cincy the last 10 years (moved last fall), so I always keep this handy: 11/26/89 - CIN 7 @ BUF 24 10/21/91 - CIN 16 @ BUF 35 11/17/96 - CIN 17 @ BUF 31 12/06/98 - BUF 33 @ CIN 20 12/29/02 - CIN 9 @ BUF 27 10/05/03 - CIN 16 @ BUF 22 12/19/04 - BUF 33 @ CIN 17 12/24/05 - BUF 37 @ CIN 27 11/04/07 - CIN 21 @ BUF 33 Count em...that's 9 straight wins for the Bills, dating back to 1989. I hope D Whitner knocks that big mouth out again...maybe he can become a full time dancer. Or vegetable.

When I saw the thread title, I immediately thought "Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica"

I'm in the t-shirt industry - these dudes can do better for less. I sell a TON of American Apparel, but will sell over $1 million in "knock off" brands that are comparable and much cheaper.

If this doesn't get you fired up for football season, nothing will http://www.bing.com/videos/watch/video/wom...p&GT1=42007

Hopefully he gets eaten by a lion.

Most other teams have size 18 available. What kind of freak (besides Shaq) wears a shoe that big?

Does he go in as a Buffalo Bill?

Damn, looks like another thread has fallen victim to my thread killing abilities.

I've got a ton, and almost all involve alcohol in some way or another. Fortunately, I've grown up a lot in the past ~8 years or so. A couple that stand out: I was working a summer job my second year of college, delivering ice. Absolutely terrible job - I seemed to get routes that had me going to all of the really rough "carryouts" in terrible parts of Cincinnati (crackheads asking me for money after some shop owner just paid me in cash, etc.). While others had routes where they could unload entire skids of ice into a huge cooler, most of my customers were needing 20-30 at a time, which meant that I was out on the road a LOT longer each day. Typically worked 12-13 hour days that summer. I got home one night around 9pm, exhausted. A girl that I grew up with (and always had a huge crush on, still do) was going to college around 3 hours to the east of me and started sending me text messages that it was her 21st birthday that night and that I should drive over to hang out. I resisted, but really wanted to. Called around and found a couple of really spontaneous friends and convinced them that there would be drunk girls at the end of our journey, so we hopped in the car around 11:30pm, heading east. We managed to shave some time off of the trip by excessively speeding and made it to the bar just in time for last call. Needless to say, serious binge drinking began. To my dismay, the birthday girl was nowhere to be found, but several of her friends were still out, so we drank with them. Ended up back at the birthday girl's apartment to find her passed out, so the remaining soldiers sat around and drank the rest of the alcohol in her apartment (including some incredibly strong jello shots). I can't really say what happened the rest of the night, as I definitely blacked out from trying to play catch up. My next recollection was waking up on the back seat of my car, both of my friends in the front seat, parked on the shoulder of the highway, about 10 miles west of the college town that we had been in. Part of me was proud that I was smart enough to give my keys to someone else, but I guess I wasn't in the right mindset to realize that my friends were equally intoxicated. Fortunately, someone was smart enough to realize that it was a bad idea to drive home. The other, also involving a girl. A buddy's kid sister (she was about 22) had just moved to town and we had reconnected as I was one of the only people in town that she knew. I went out with some friends and was having a good time. Towards the end of the night and closing time, quite drunk (not driving), I started getting text messages from her. The bar that I was at was on her way home, so she told me not to leave until she got there. She stopped, was more than flirtatious, and insisted that I go home with her. Without thinking, I totally blew off my friends and left with her...OBVIOUSLY. So we get back to her apartment, I'm thinking that things are going my way, and we walk inside her apartment to find some random dude sitting on her couch. I initially had a huge WTF moment, but an even bigger WTF moment when she walked over to him, straddled him, and started making out. Now, I don't know what her intentions were, but I wasn't really interested in finding out, so I took the first opportunity to sneak out the front door. What I hadn't mentioned yet is that this night had a wind chill of around -10 degrees and I hadn't brought a coat because it would've been a hassle at the bar - I wasn't going to be outside, right? I started walking (I was a few miles south of the Ohio River in Kentucky - I lived about 5 miles north of the river). Walked a couple of miles to the bar that I was at, all closed up and everyone was gone, including staff, so I kept walking. Called my buddy that was originally going to drive me home - by this point, he was about 30 minutes away and a bit pissy that I just bailed on him (rightfully so). I was so cold that I had to switch the phone from hand to hand, because my hands were literally freezing in the position to hold the phone, so I had to keep peeling back my fingers and putting the phone in the other hand. At this point, I was pleading with him to pick me up - it's now ~3am on a deserted road in the middle of nowhere. Sadly, I could see the Cincinnati skyline, but no one around to help me. I was crossing a bridge that went over some Ohio River backwaters and my level of desperation (and drunkenness) almost led me to jump...I recall telling my friend on the phone that it was nice knowing him. Fortunately, I kept walking and 10-15 minutes later managed to flag down an off-duty cab driver. His lights were off and he was heading home, but I was able to convince him to drive me home. I had him stop at an ATM on the way and ended up giving him a $30+ tip. He probably deserved more, as the guy probably saved my life. I now live in Florida, but I learned my lesson in Ohio - I don't leave the house in the winter without a jacket and gloves, no matter how dorky or burdensome they are when I ended up at my destination. Sorry for the novel...

It's been years since I've been there, but I was in Atlantic City when I was ~18 and there were moving walkways from the casinos to the boardwalk. Definitely ran on them, and it was a blast. They had a bit of a bounce to them, in addition to the fact that it was moving, so I can certainly say that I've never ran faster.

No, because just like at the airport, !@#$s will go along for the ride and stand right in the middle of the walkway, rather than get off to the side and let the people who have somewhere to be pass by.

Honestly, I think that it'd be a pretty cool experiment. Gravity has to have some effect on the ability to conceive, right?

Did you buy your "Evens" jersey on eBay?

For those of you (like me) jumping on the USA soccer bandwagon - they host Brazil on August 10 at the Meadowlands. Now, I realize this probably won't be A team vs. A team, but regardless, what a cool opportunity to go out and give these guys some great support, on US soil. I'm considering making the trip. Last I checked, tickets are still available from Ticketmaster.
