1. How come football mad Ohio is such a

Punching bag in the NFL.

[Garage Queen]

2. Ha! No more a punching bag than the Lion Cubs have been for the past 2

...uh, 3....make that four...teen years or so. (I'm a Detroiter so I should know!) :-(

3. Cleveland made the play-offs last year

Cincinnati has sucked since the early nineties. My feeling on that is that it is ownership issues. The guy doesn't know football and he won't hire a general manager. That may have changed this year. I know the Bengals went out and got a new head coach this year and forked over some money for a few free agent veterans. I'm hoping they do better this season. I live 40 miles north of Cincy and I grew up watching those super bowl teams of the eighties. So I'm a fan.

Steve Mariucci has scheduled the coming-out party for rookie wide receiver Charles Rogers -- Saturday in the exhibition at Cincinnati...

"I expect him to play some. We've got to figure out when to put him in and with who, what quarterback. But I would like him to play a little bit this week."

And that is fine with Rogers, whose NFL debut was delayed a week by the dislocated ring finger he suffered July 29, the third day of training camp. He was limited for more than a week because of the stitches in the finger but has worked his way back into the full training camp regimen.

Polly adds "And my alma mater," by which she means Saginaw High School (I went to arch-rival Arthur Hill, as did MSchreader).

6. Gooo PACKERS!!! Oops, I think I'm in the wrong place...

Actually, husband is a Lions fan, so I guess it would be okay for them to win, seeing as it's still the preseason. Enjoy the game!:toast:
