New Poll Question

In honor of my beloved Cincinnati Bengals playing like diddly poo yesterday, thus extending their hold on the most seasons without a postseason victory, I offer up the poll question on the right about tortured fan bases.

In honor of my Jim Mora diddly poo reference in the first paragraph, I offer up Jim Mora at his finest:

A Few Random Thoughts

-It's hard to believe that we are only 93 days away from Opening Day 2010. We're now closer to the start of the 2010 season than the end of the 2009 season. Coming back from the holidays, you're starting to see a sense of urgency around the office already.

-The Baseball Hall of Fame vote is announced tomorrow. You'll see the stories everywhere, but there's only one place to get your favorite broadcaster's reaction...right here on the OBB.

-I got a Wii for Christmas. My right shoulder/elbow hasn't been the same since my sister destroyed me in Wii Sports Boxing that night. I'll take suggestions for what games I should buy in the comments below. If anyone is still in the giving mood from the holidays, games can be sent to my attention at Coveleski Stadium :)

-My beloved Cincinnati Bengals are in the playoffs. Don't bother me on Saturday afternoon (or for the next week after that if they lose)

-We're working on a few more interviews for the "Catching Up With" series on www.silverhawks.com. I'll link you to them when they are complete.

Finally, I'll blog as often as I can to get you ready for the season. If my posting seems sporadic, it's because I'm going to be busy with sales calls and working on the media guide. I'll try to have at least one post a day, and sometimes more. Just keep checking back often, as I know you do. I appreciate all the people that come here daily, and love to hear comments from you either in the comments sections to the posts, or you can email me at oserey@silverhawks.com.

Thanks!

Owen's Football Blog?

A few football thoughts today, since there wasn't anything that happened over the weekend in baseball that I feel compelled to write about:

-How about my Bengals? 7-2 overall, 5-0 in the division, season sweeps of the Ravens and the Steelers. I'm clearly excited, but being a lifelong Cincinnati fan, I can't help but think "how will they screw this up?" Hopefully, they won't.

-For all you Colts fans out there, congrats on the 9-0 start. The Colts found a way to win again, even though Bill Belichick made one of the dumbest decisions of all time (you can argue with me if you want, but there is no way you go for it on 4th and 2 from your own 29 with two minutes to play). Peyton Manning is fun to watch.

-I don't know if firing Charlie Weis is the answer for Notre Dame, but I feel strongly it's going to happen now. Losing @ Pitt is not the crushing loss either. However, losing @ Pitt AFTER losing to both Michigan and Navy (not to mention USC) is what is going to cost him. Well, that, and the fact that he doesn't ever seem to win big games.

-Since we're talking about sports other than baseball, I couldn't be more excited about the start of college basketball season. Should be a good year for Notre Dame, but hopefully it'll be an even bigger year for my beloved Kentucky Wildcats.

That's all for now. Sorry for drifting away from baseball, but we all need that every once in a while.
