St. Louis Cardinals 11, Cincinnati Reds 6: Aaron Harang Drops Another Opener
Posted: 6th April 2010 by Russell Wight in MLB
Don’t let Michael Jordan beat you.
Double-team him. Triple-team him.
Make sure his tail hits the paint every time he drives to the basket. Do everything you can to take him out of the game and if Scottie Pippen nails a jumper to put you away, so be it.
No matter what sport you are playing, you should always do your best to take the opposition’s best player out of the ...
A lot has been said about the Reds and their "young" talent. While there are many prospects in the organization with untapped potential, there are also veterans with a wealth of knowledge and experience. If the regulars can stay relatively healthy, the infield is one area that Dusty Baker should not have to worry about much this season.
Joey Votto was on his way to a MVPNNAP (Most Valuable Player Not ...
The Cincinnati Reds Make Final Preparations on Their Bullpen
Posted: 29th March 2010 by Russell Wight in MLB
As the Reds begin their final week of Spring Training, it looks like Travis Wood has the inside track on the final spot in the starting rotation .
The stiff back that forced Aroldis Chapman to exit a game last week appears to be the excuse the Reds needed to justify the flame-thrower starting his season at AAA Louisville. I also think the front office is a little afraid to ...
Cincinnati Reds Get Ready for the Redlegs: Starting Rotation
Posted: 18th March 2010 by Russell Wight in MLB
For the second consecutive year, the Cincinnati Reds entered Spring Training looking for someone to fill the fifth spot in their starting rotation.
Last season, the competition between Micah Owings and Homer Bailey ended with Owings winning the job. However, it was Bailey that eventually took a firm grip on a spot in the rotation as he finished the season strong and rekindled the optimism that once hovered over the young ...
I have not been avoiding the topic of Terrell Owens possibly becoming a Cincinnati Bengal. I simply have not had time to offer my thoughts on whether or not he could be a productive addition to the offense. For or against the acquisition, media members and bloggers have formed very strong opinions on the subject.
Owens' track record of being a horrible teammate is well documented. His stops in San Francisco, ...
Well, it's official.
When rumors started flowing yesterday afternoon, I tried not to get sucked in. Several websites reported the news. The social networking world was all atwitter (see what I did there?).
However, I did not want to get too excited until I heard an official announcement.
Last night, ABC announced the cast for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars, which contains three figures from the sports world: Olympic Gold ...
Time Machine: Jan 6, 1991: Bengals Crush Oilers in Playoff Opener
Posted: 7th January 2010 by Russell Wight in NFL

Cincinnati Bengals Quarterback Carson Palmer's playoff career consists of one perfectly thrown pass. That would have been the first of many had it not been for Defensive Lineman Kimo von Oelhoffen rolling into Palmer's knee. His knee exploded, igniting an inferno that caused the Bengals' season and playoff hopes to go down in flames.
As Cincinnati returns to the playoffs this weekend, I decided to take a trip down memory lane. ...
The Bengals were absolutely demolished by the Jets on Sunday night in what was one of the worst performances I have ever seen. After clinching the AFC North title last week, the Bengals really did not have much to play for in terms of playoff seeding. Most people wondered how much Marvin Lewis would play his starters, if at all. How much of a game plan he and his players ...
New York Jets Destroy Cincinnati Bengals To Earn Playoff Spot
Posted: 4th January 2010 by Russell Wight in NFL
What can I say? áThe picture of Marvin Lewis just about says it all.
The Cincinnati Bengals were screwed, booed, tattooed, and barbecued by the New York Jets last night in the regular season finale. It was a complete destruction as the Jets dominated in every facet of the game and rolled to a 37-0 victory.
With the victory, the Jets earned a spot in the playoffs and a rematch with ...
The Bengals finally made it official. áWith a 17-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, Marvin Lewis and his team are AFC North champions. áIt wasn't pretty, as the Cincinnati offense was plagued by penalties once again. áThe defense took a major hit today as well when Rey Maualuga left the game with a broken ankle.
The Bengals really did not play well. áHowever, they came through when it counted as ...
