If Jail Cells Were Endzones, Chris Henry Would Be Jerry Rice
ESPN's headline alone is enough to send me into bemused laughter: "Bengals' Henry arrested for third time since December". I don't know why, but that's funny to me. Henry was doing 82 mph in a 65 mph zone, and then blew a .092 on the breathalyzer. Ohio's legal limit is .08. No report on whether or...
Carson Palmer's Charitable Contributions
From what we understand from various Cincinnati residents, the act of "cornholing" is quite big in the area....
Hey, It Worked In The Warriors
Our affection for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson is well-documented, so we're obviously down right giddy to see that, in the offseason, Johnson has, inexplicably, decided to grow a mohawk....

So here's a phrase you weren't ready to hear on a Thursday morning: "Ben Wallace Blow-Up Doll."...
As Much As It Hurts, We Have To Accept That It's Over
Well, now that the dust has settled a bit, now that we've all had time to collect ourselves, rest up, sleep it off and compose ourselves ... we think we're ready to dig back into the Anna Benson divorce story....
The Day The Music Died
Each generation has its cultural touchstones, those moments when everyone remembers where they were, at that specific moment, from that second until the day that they die. Late at night, at a dinner party or social function, someone will mention the event, and the party will hush, and recollections ...
Why Do We Consider The NFL Fun Again?
Anyone who watched the NFL last season ended up captivated by two charismatic, outsized personalities: Clinton Portis and Chad Johnson. Every week, each did something creative, original and undeniably fun; we found ourselves rooting for their on-field exploits much more than we would have otherwis...
You Know She's Getting Her Own Show Within A Year
For those of you who don't plan on using tonight's night off from major sporting events to, you know, heading outside or perhaps conversing with loved ones, you should know that tonight, everyone's favorite Not Really That Attractive But Unusually Loud baseball wife Anna Benson will be appearing o...
Hey, At Least It's Not Another Cheney Hunting Photo
It's a glorious Monday, and The Wade Blogs says "Come on in, the Photoshoppin's fine!" Noting that Notre Dame football coach Charile Weis presented President G.W. Bush with a pair of blue Notre Dame jerseys recently, our Mr. Blogs went right to work....
Anna Benson on Fox News. It Had To Happen Sometime.
Anna Benson, who I believe has had her own teeth surgically replaced by those of Andre the Giant, did an interview on the Fox News channel on Thursday. It creeps me out in a variety of ways. Her gigantic smile is just one of them....
Dunk Face!: Ben Roethlisberger
More Drunk, er, Dunk Face submissions. Of course once the "Drunk" Face gets mentioned, Big Ben comes up. Alas, here we have this champion submission from a Deadspin Reader showcasing Steeltown's finest go-to chugster. Wave those Terrible Towels high!...
Man, Tommy Maddox Has Really Let Himself Go
You know, we understand that beards are the big thing in the NFL playoffs right now, but honestly, we had no idea this guy was a starting quarterback in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. (He's from the World Beard Championships, in case you were wondering.)...
Blogging With Ben
As one might imagine, there's quite a commotion over at Ben Roethlisberger — Official Blog. The Steelers quarterback is pretty popular after that upset of the Colts, as is evidenced in the comments section of his latest post (actually, he didn't write it. He has a "team" that handles that). Here'...
NFL Playoff Roundup: One Big Idiot Kicker
• Ordinarily, we come down on the side of kickers, if just because we have much more of a physical resemblance to them than 350-pound ogre lineman. But it's pretty much impossible to feel much sympathy for Colts gakker Mike Vanderjagt, whose missed field goal yesterday was somehow the perfect endi...
The Curse Of Queen City
A beleaguered Cincinnati sports fan, still reeling from Carson Palmer's knee implosion and an ugly first-round playoff exit, implores us to feel his pain by reeling off the succession of brutal injuries to befall the Queen City at the worst possible times. Witness:...
Say It Ain't So, Chad
So you know, Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson — forever known as Our Hero around here — did not get in a fight with his coach Marvin Lewis at halftime of Sunday's loss to the Steelers. Who said he did, you ask?...
NFL Playoff Roundup: Riiiiipppppp!
• Honestly, we know this was covered all weekend, but man, that Carson Palmer thing was the worst playoff moment we can remember. We think Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have it tough; Bengals fans finally get in the playoffs, and two plays in, their Pro Bowl QB tears an ACL and MCL. (Quest...
Steelers vs. Bengals - 4th Quarter
• James Farrior comes up with an interception of Jon Kitna. And it's not the interception itself that's ending this game, but the tidal wave of momentum that appears to be on the Steelers side....
Steelers vs. Bengals - 3rd Quarter
• Bonnie Bernstein lets us know that Carson Palmer has a torn ACL, and the Bengals hope he'll be ready for training camp next year. Ouch. What a very Bengal thing to happen. You have my sympathy, Bengals fans....
