  1. Kinda like all those Browns jerseys that popped up in Lexington when Couch was drafted.
  2. Im pretty sure Billy Crystal is not the first celebrity to play in a spring training game. This has happened a few times before. I dont see anything wrong with it.
  3. Here is another piece about the origins. http://bengalsjungle.com/whodeyorigin.html In 1981 the Bengals had changes that were new to the team. New Uniforms , a Super Bowl Birth and The Who Dey Chant. Today you learn the origin of the WHO-DEY chant/song. Rumors (It came from the Saints, It came from Alcorn State University, It came from LSU.) Today you learn how it got started, when it started and where it traveled once it became popular. It started in November of 1981. And following is the stepping stone to it's arrival. The Bengals were going up against the Steelers in the middle of October. Both had records of 4-2. The Steelers lost their first two games and then went on to win 4 in a row. It was the lowly Bengals playing the Super Bowl Champs of 1979 who was 9-7 in 1980. It was a big deal beating the Steelers because the Bengals already were defeated by co division leaders Houston and Cleveland who were 11-5 the year before. At that time Pittsburgh was the big game of the year. That and Buffalo who was 11-5 also in 1980. The Buffalo Bills game didn't mean as much because the Bengals only beat teams that had worse records than them in 1981 before that game. The first two games were against the Jets and Seahawks who had records of 4-12 in 1980. And Baltimore who won 1 more games than the Bengals in 1980. The Pittsburgh game meant more than all other games at the time. The Bengals Superbowl at the time. They won their Superbowl beating the Steelers 34-7. But the Bengals had a let down game following that game going against the Saints or (Ain'ts at that time). Losing 17-7. The future didn't look bright. Because next on the schedule every team had a winning record the year before. And the next 3 team were 11-5 after the 1980 season. First Houston who already beat us, then the Chargers and Rams. All three were in the playoffs the prior two years,The Rams and Oilers prior 3 years. San Diego was picked to win the Superbowl in 1981. Plus we had Cleveland again, who were 11-5 and Atlanta who finish 1980 at 12-4. Five of the teams had a total of 24 loses in 1980 Cincinnati went on a great run. After starting out 5-3. They beat Houston by 13, San Diego by 23 and Los Angeles by 14. The chant started after the San Diego game. Second game of November. The Bengals had 5 games in November and won all 5. Beating every team by more than 2 TD's. The Bengals only lost one more game all the way up to the Superbowl. That game was against the 49'ers who they also played and lost to in the Superbowl. The chant started, Who They think is going to beat them Bengals. ( Cincinnati was on a roll.they were 7-3 a season after they finished 6-10 and prior two seasons 4-12) When some hollered, "Who They think is going to beat them Bengals" Other fans would reply with "Nobody" A week or two later. The whole chant started to grow, and the nobody was stretched out to Noooo Boooooooody. Coming from an old car commericial of (Red Frazier Ford ) who was out of business at the time. But had a very popular commercial, Who's going to give you a better deal than Red Frazier? Nooo Boooody. Following that, the chant put was on a 45 record. Recorded by Cincinnati's WLW weatherman Who's first name was Zip
  4. The saints actually took it from the Bengals. Who dey came from a local cincy car dealership commercial back in the day.
  5. It's been hard for me to follow spring training with the weekday games not on radio or tv. Hasn't Fogg been pitching ok also?
  6. My brother played for Union a few years ago, I remember the muddy mess of the old field. The new one looks good.
  7. I bought the r7 a few weeks ago, took it to the driving range yesterday for the first time and it felt good.
  8. The 22 dollar sun/moon deck seats are nice. Right field behind Griffey and a chance to catch a home run . I think this year they do have a family section in that area also, basically no booze allowed.
  9. I bought the power pack this past weekend, i get opening day, Red Sox, Indians and Cubs series, I didnt mind spending the money. I think it's worth it.
  10. Yeah, i'v been a memeber there for three years and never had a complaint. I will say January and Feb do sometimes get on my nerves because of all the New Years resolution newbies but that dies back down in March.
  11. Sounds like the guy that plays in right field for the reds!
  12. Would those Reds stats be a product of the field or terrible pitching (not Harang and Arroyo)
  13. I would think pitching at Coors field is worse than Gabp.
  14. I know 98 and he doesnt have any family that plays or sits on Ncc's basketball bench. Huge win for the breds.
  15. A lot of films that i would listed have been named. I'll add The Lord of the Rings(all three) The Matrix Tombstone The Big Lewboski
  16. Not sure how true this could be, unless the Bengals are keeping quite. I dont think Drew is allowed to work on a deal with other teams without the Bengals permission first.
  17. Got the 42" Vizio lcd and im pretty happy with it(the price was the cheapest out of all the tvs i researched also.) Hdnet is my new favorite channel, watched a two hour Foo Fighters concert last night.:ylsuper:
