In a truly inspiring instance of perseverance through pure failure and godawful struggles, 12th-ranked Cincinnati basketball scored only 15 points in the first half, yet still won their game against UCF tonight. The Bearcats came, uh, “roaring” back with a staggering 34(!) second-half points, while ...
Ohio Boys Basketball Team Booted For Racist Jerseys
The best part of a rec basketball league is coming up with a team name. If you’re lucky, your league will have customized jerseys for you. Sometimes you even get to put your name (or “He Hate Me”) on the back! My rec team in college was the Love Handlers. It’s all fun....
Just Kidding, The Bengals Will Never Get Rid Of Marvin Lewis

Bills Fans Have Donated Over $100,000 To Andy Dalton's Foundation
The Buffalo Bills did everything they could to get into the playoffs on Sunday when they beat the Dolphins, 22-16. But the man who made the most important play in sealing Buffalo’s first postseason appearance since 1999 was Bengals QB Andy Dalton. With under a minute to play in a game that was meani...
Ravens WR Chris Moore's Excruciating Bobble Turns Into A Bengals Pick-Six<em></em>
Despite the worst efforts of Joe Flacco, who went 4 of 18 for just 28 yards in the first half, the Ravens are actually trying to make the playoffs by beating the Bengals today. It’s proving to be extremely difficult, and Darqueze Dennard made the task even harder by stealing a catch away from Chris ...

That Was Bad Football
A grimy football game can be fun, sometimes. Messy, brutal, even a little bit of dirty play can raise the stakes, or at least turn a game into a car wreck that can’t be looked away from. Steelers-Bengals was not fun....

Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...

Report: The Browns Are Huge Idiots Who Didn't File Paperwork But Also Maybe Sabotaged Their Own Trade
The Bengals almost traded backup QB A.J. McCarron to the Browns Tuesday, but the deal didn’t go through. Adam Schefter reported that Cleveland had missed the 4 p.m. deadline. The Browns still have a dismal QB depth chart, and now they’re also getting roasted by anonymous sources willing to detail pr...
Report: Browns Forget To Complete QB Trade Like A Bunch Of Big Dumbasses
The Browns tried to get in on an unusually busy NFL trade deadline by making a somewhat inexplicable deal with the Bengals for backup QB A.J. McCarron. They weren’t even able to pull that off, according to Adam Schefter:...

Billy Hamilton Was Picked Off At First And Still Scored A Run
Billy Hamilton, who leads MLB in stolen bases, was a little too eager to get another one Sunday against the Red Sox, as the Reds’ center fielder found himself in a pickle after he jumped on a pickoff throw. Dustin Pedroia’s error, however, not only bailed Hamilton out, but allowed him to get all the...
Luke Farrell Pitched A Scoreless Inning Against His Dad's Team, Like A Real Ingrate
Last night, John Farrell’s playoff-bound Boston Red Sox used a strong outing from Eduardo Rodriguez and some timely hitting to take a 5-0 lead into the ninth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, who are playing out the string on a lost season. Almost nothing was at stake in this game, but it still fo...
