Football!

The baseball season ended ... finally.

If Bud Selig ever decided to actually do something important for the game of baseball (don't hold breath) he would mandate 2 things:

The first is that teams play at least 4 home doubleheaders each year. And not the Day-Night variety either. The old style 2 games in a row. By doing that a full week could be lopped off the season and the World Series could actually end in October.

Secondly, some (at least two) of the first five scheduled WS games should have a daytime start. It's hard for anybody, let alone kids, to stay up past midnight to watch the conclusion of a game. And people wonder why our youth doesn't seem to play as much baseball anymore. I realize this (a daytime WS start) will never happen given the power of the $, but it should.

But I digress. This weekend is about football.

This is perhaps the most significant football weekend the city of Cincinnati has ever witnessed. With the Bearcats playing in front of a large national audience tonight, they have a chance to rise even further in the BCS standings.

And the Bengals? Their season is usually over at this point. But with a huge game tomorrow against the Ravens, a win will put them squarely in line for a playoff berth. So with that, here's a lyrics refresher before you head down to PB stadium tomorrow or settle into your Lay-Z-Boy.
