sunday hangover in the 3-Dot Lounge

If the Colts don't conquer the Belichick mountain today, they never will. It's shaping up as a defining moment in Peyton Manning's career. Right now, he's the face of the most popular league in history. If he fails again today, the jokes will commence... BOOO-vers

25 years ago Wednesday, the Bengals lost their 1st Super Bowl to San Fran. Here's a great story about the 49er alumni from that game, and the pain that football exacts...http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2007/01/21/SPG6JNM6MN1.DTL

Look at the Reds salary numbers in John Fay's analysis in Sunday's Enquirer, and you know part of the reason they are where they are: 9-mil for Eric Milton. 4-plus for Kyle Lohse. 2-mil each for Mike Stanton and Jeff Conine. The burdensome salaries of Junior and Dunn. Throwing good money after bad...

Anyone seen Letters From Iwo Jima, Eastwood's companion piece to Flags of Our Fathers? I'm a WWII nut, and was a little disappointed w/Flags..the book was much, much better...

I've never seen a college coach go off on a referee the way Mick Cronin did at the end of regulation yesterday. He made Huggins look shy. Given that Cronin ran clear across the court and cursed the guy the way Dennis Hopper cursed in Blue Velvet, it's a wonder he didnt get a second T, and tossed.

Nothing new, but I remain amazed with the writing on the TV show 24. They've taken a one-year concept and kept it compelling for, what, 5 years? Already, this season looks as good or better than any of the others. Free TV gets no better...

Bet The Ranch If You Dont Mind Sleeping on Cardboard: Bears 20, Saints 17... Colts 27, Pats 26.

Paul,

Saw 'Letters'. It's not the best film ever, but that story from that perspective is very compelling. I would recommend seeing it.

Anything that occurs after the clock reaches 0:00:00 would be settled at the beginning of the next period.
Thus, instead of a jump ball to begin the OT, West Virginia would have shot two free throws and been given possession. The possession arrow would then have been turned into UC's favor.

Maybe he was just celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Bengals first Super Bowl trip.

Jonathan Joseph was arrested Monday morning on a Pot charge in Northern Ky.

Our defensive backfield is quite a crew. Live HIGH...oops...Big

The T would go to the overtime Jay.As for Mick not getting one the refs knew they blew it,but the overtime was great anyway.Paul, your take on the Reds is absolutely correct.Also a friend told me the halftime at L.H.S. went fine.

Doc-If you haven't gotten it already, HBO's "A Band of Brothers is a must for your collection...I'm a WWII nut too. b Another thing the wife doesn't get...

Great to hear about your daughter as well. Very cool.

Doc, I don't know much about 24. I've never seen it. I can't imagine it's more compelling than Grey's Anatomy. Am I the only one who finds Christina and Preston's relationship totally bizzare but at the same irresistable to watch unfold? It's hard to believe the two of them are even dating considering their personalities are at opposite ends of the emotionial spectrum.
