Live Blog (Bengals @ the less than Reputable Colts) second half.

Game Over.....Colts beat the Bengals 34-16

1:32- Dwight Freeny just made Carson fumble again...recovered by Bengals.

1:59- I still don't understand why were running the ball and doing screens....throw it deep...stupid

4:30- Dwight Freeny forced another fumble...but this one was recovered by the Bengals...

4:41- Tick, Tick , Tick....the clock just winding down now...this was a bad loss tonight...

5:30- Ricky Proehl dropped a ball forcing the Colts to add to their lead with another FG... Indy-34 Cin-16...

11:14- Chad Johnson dropped a first down ball and the Bengals forced to punt.

11:27- The call was upheld...still Bengals ball...3rd and 10.

11:27- Palmer hit as he throws again....Indy is challenging that it was a fumble...not an incomplete pass.

12:18- after 2 back-to-back almost interceptions....the Colts go three and out.

13:07- Great, another field goal that doesn't really help us....Indy-31 Cin-16...my night gets a little worse.

13:42- Ok, can someone please explain to me why we are still running/swing passing the ball when were down by 18?

Start of the 4th Quarter

2:10- Chad Johnson just went to the locker room...so that takes away another weapon...come on....get it together Carson.

2:16- Another TD for Indy...this time to Reggie Wayne....Indy-31 Cin-13

3:33- Right now the Colts are just completing passes at will...we need a turnover....bad.

5:43- The Indy D all of sudden is play very well...pressuring Carson and making him throw earlier and/or off the back foot....not good....not good at all for my Bengals.

6:36- Manning to Marvin round 3....ok, I would really like for that combo to stop for the night...Ind-24 Cin-13

7:24- Joseph Addai just busted off a 40+ yard run to take the Colts to the 5 yard line...great move having him on my bench...

9:14- After a stop on 3rd down, Cincy will have to settle for another Shayne Graham field goal...Ind-17 Cin-13

10:31- Much like myself, it takes Rudi Johnson a couple of seconds to find the hole...but when he does....he pounds it...oh yeah

11:28- T.J. Houshmanzadeh with a big gain....first down Bengals.

12:07- Indy elected to go for it on 4th and 1 and they were stuffed.

14:47- The Colts received it and after a 6 yard dump pass to Rhodes....Joe Theisman used the word "niftiness" ...that makes me want to break his leg.

Start of the Second half

0:00- And Carson gets stripped again.

0:01- The Bengals will get one more shot at a 50+ hail mary.

0:13- Manning to Marvin round 2....not helping me boys... Indy-17 Cin-10

0:17- Peyton ran again...this time he looked more like himself running...a loss of 3.

3:54- Manning just took off for a 14 yard run...he runs like an old guy with a plastic hip...but it got the job done I guess.

5:07- Peyton Manning is finally sacked...I have to admit...it felt good seeing him drop to his knees and accept it.

6:35- Jeff Sunday...I mean Saturday was called fora big penalty that took away a big play.

6:49- Touchdown Bengals....that was the one of the easiest rushing touchdowns you'll ever see. Cin-10 Ind-10

8:10- Reggie McNeal....yes that McNeal, rushed for a first down.

8:58- Terrence Wilkins muffed the punt and the Bengals recovered it...so now we get it back at the Colts' 25.

10:25- Manning to Marvin...again....Colts 10-3...

11:05- Wow, I haven't seen a hole close that fast since....umm let's leave that one alone.

12:28- Joseph Addai runs for a first down and the Colts are in the redzone again.

14:51- Marvin Harrison makes Jonathan Joseph look like....well a rookie.

Start of the 2nd Quarter

End of the 1st Quarter.....Cincinnati-3 Indianapolis-3

0:54- Troy Walters with a nice return...Kevin Kaesviharn has about 68 tackles already, he's in every play.

1:01- The former Hokie bangs it through again...Shayne Graham ties it with a short field goal...Cin-3 Ind-3

1:05- Chris Henry just dropped a touchdown, and Davey just shed a single tear.

2:52- First Down Chad...get used to hearing that tonight.

3:33- Rudi Johnson just ran over and through Cato June and Robert Morris for a big first down.

8:03- Ben Utecht drops the first down so they have to settle for a Vinatieri feild Goal.... Cin-0 Ind-3

8:07- Indy is forced to use their first timeout...it's 3rd and 6.

9:42- The Colts pick up a first down, and I hate them a little more.

12:35- First play for Indy and it's a 6 yard pass to Ricky Proehl.

12:44- Carson Palmer dropped back right into a wall named Dwight Freeny, he fumbled and the Colts recovered. 1st Down Indy.

12:51- During the Timeout, the Colts challenged the catch and it was reversed...no catch for Chad.

12:51- Carson's second pass is for 22 yards to Chad...Chad got up a little slow so Marvin Lewis called a timeout.

13:27- On Rudi Johnson's second run, he fumbled but of course, the great Chad Johnson recovered it.

14:17- Chad Johnson introduced the Bengal's offense...hey look Keyshawn, he actually knows their names.

15:00- Bengals received first and returned it to their own 41 yard line.

1st Quarter

Tony Kornheiser's comb over is probably the worst thing on television since...well last week when Tony Kornhiser was on t.v.

Ben Stiller is wearing a Peyton Manning jersey...great now Davey has to take back his copy of "Along Came Polly".

Chris "You're With Me Leather" Berman projected the score to 60-50 Colts...hmmm okay.

Chad Johnson's neat shoes will definitely get him a purdy little fine.

Live blog tonight (Cincy @ Indy)

Well I have nothing else to do, so I am going to live blog the big game tonight. What fun.

Is it possible to blow a 77 point lead?

Well Davey mentioned that he is currently locked in a tight contest in the semi-finals of our fantasy playoffs. Well not me, Davey was nice enough to end my misery and he knocked me out last week. Most people would be angry if their best friend knocked you out of the playoffs, they would stand outside that friends window contemplating murder while they slept...but good thing I don't hold grudges.

Well I am just trying to lock up a 5th place spot right now, I currently have a 77 point lead and for most that would be a definite win, but not yours truely, I have been know to give away a 40+ lead on the final game so I wouldn't put it past me. And it really doesn't help that he's still has three guys available. Carson Palmer, Marvin Harrison and T.J. Houshmanzedah, so you can see why i'm sweating just a tad.

To top things off, I am a huge Bengal fan, so I want Carson to light up the Colts, but I guess as long as he just throws touchdowns to Chad and booking no. 4758-61543 aka Chris Henry I will be fine.

The news is not good for David Pollack...

Well last week I posted about David Pollack getting his halo device removed and we would ahve to wait aobut a week to find out if he had to have neck surgery to completly heal his broken neck.

If the title didn't tip you off, well, it turns out he will have to have the spinal fusion surgery. All though it is good news that he will recover, the surgery will pretty much end his career. Although the neck will be repaired the risk for another broken neck is highley likely. And doctors said if you break your neck once you may be able to play football again, but if you break your neck twice you may not be able to walk again.

I have said many times that Pollack is one of my favorite football players and I am really upset by this news. The fan in me wants to see him back on the field, but their is nothing more important than family and if playing football again risks him being able to do something that is taken so for granted as walking or one day being able to play with your kids then there is no way he can risk that.

So, good luck with the surgery David. I hope you have a speedy recovery.

David Pollack has stabilizing halo removed...

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, David Pollack, finally got his stabilizing halo removed on Thursday. He had been wearing it for the last 3 months, when he broke his neck in week 2 against the Cleveland Browns.

It has been very hard the last 3 months for the Pollack family. David hasn't been able to shower, driver, or move from his waist up. David's main goal was to be out of the halo by Christmas so he could turn his head to open presents.

When asked how it felt to take a shower for the first time in 11 weeks and 3 days.

"I stayed in the shower until I was good and pruned," Pollack said. "I think I washed my hair and body seven times."

But getting the halo removed is just the fist step. The Pollack family will still have to wait till Friday to find out if he will have to have spinal fusion surgery. If he has to have the surgery, then his career would be over, if he doesn't then their is still a chance. I hope he doesn't not only because he's one of my favorite players, but I don't like seeing anyone have their career's taken away from them. Good luck David, and I hope to see you in a Bengal's uniform soon.

If Reggie McNeal finds out he's wrong he'll punch you in the chest...

What's it been, like a month, a month and a half since a Bengal was arrested? Well what's a winning streak without a felony, that's what I always say. I'm sure Reggie was just doing his part to ensure that we keep this streak going.

Reggie McNeal is a rookie wide receiver out of Texas A&M. Early Sunday morning he was arrested outside of Houston night club, The Red Door, after he was refused entrance into the club.....because it was closed. Well apparently Reggie felt that the club should still be open and the two police officers that denied his entrance were in the wrong. So instead of walking away he decided that the best thing to do would go up to the officers and punch one of them in the chest. So not only are you a back up at a position that you don't even play, now you are going to get charged with resisting arrest in a city that you probably should'nt be in....ok, just making sure I have everything in order.

So, just for shits and giggles(still no idea where I heard that, just like it) lets make a small list of the Bengals that have been arrested/suspended this season.

LB) Odell Thurman: League substance abuse policy violation
LB) A.J. Nicholson: Burgalry, grand theft
DE) Frostee Rucker: Spousal battery
WR) Chris Henry: where to begin....three counts of Unlawful transaction with a minor, Speeding, Operating a vehicle under the influence, Felony possession of a concealed firearm, Possession of Marijuana.
G) Eric Steinbach: Boating under the influence
DT) Matthias Askew: Resisting arrest (he was dismissed from the team)
WR) Reggie McNeal: Resisting arrest

What can I say, gotta love em, but sometimes they make me so Furrey-ious.(for those of you that don't know, I got that awesome pun from Davey, he says its the worst but I think it's one of the best, I had a seizure from laughing so hard, I fell out my chair and hit my head on the side of the desk. It's ok, don't worry i'm beginning to remember most things from my past again....I think.)

See...

"3rdQ 1:20 - Miami's defense forces another punt and they are firmly in control at the moment. Mike Furrey is furrey-ious on the sideline and that was officially the worst pun you will ever hear"

Just one of those days at the office...

Have you ever been searching on-line and you stubble across a story that just grabs your attention? Well that happened to me with this one.

The story is basically just talking about how Rex Grossman was talking shit to Darren Sharper and Dwight Smith after a game winning touchdown that Grossman threw wehn he wasn't breaking a fibula.

I don't know exactly what Rex could've said that would get to Sharper and Smith, I mean look at them. Sharper is a three-time Pro Bowl safety, Smith is...well he's an ok guy.(never met him, but what the hell). Rex is a good quarterback when he's not in rehab(not for drugs, but for injuries...but then again, i'm sure he took pain killers, and those are sorta like drugs, I know they are drugs, but they're not drug drugs. Does that make any sense? Probably not, but whatever, bare with me. Anyways, back to the post....I know, I know.) But seriously, Rex must of said something that irked Sharper(probably a yo momma joke)if he's going to the media to bitch about it. This is football, quit crying about him hurting your feelings and settle it on the field.(That's what I would've said, if he wasn't so big.) Don't cry and bitch to the media, knock him in the mouth!!!( Yeah, but don't actually hit him too hard, you'll get flagged and cost your team 15 yards, there is rules against that, gosh!) So my expert advice would be, Darren, stop whinning and Rex, try not to break a femur.
