I'm a 1995 graduate of Scott High School in Taylor Mill. Before that, I lived in New Jersey. My Northern Kentucky-native parents more or less instructed me from birth that despite the geography, I was rooting for Cincinnati teams, so it's pretty cool to be able to talk about them every day. I experienced childhood ruining losses by the Bengals in Super Bowl XXIII and UC in the 1992 Final Four from 700 miles away. I watched the 1990 World Series at a Halloween party in Central Jersey.

Favorite LinksMO' Favorite LinksI will gladly accept bribery to put your site on this list.
Barstool Sports
My favorite site. Not for those easily offended.
Basketbawful
This is a great NBA blog. The NBA (National Basketball Association) is a professional men's basketball league, consisting of 29 American teams, and one Canadian team. It was founded in 1946. Cincinnati used to have a team. I wish it did now.
Beer Goggler
This is a site devoted to pictures of women whom most men find attractive.
Better Off Red
Jamie Ramsey is the Assistant Media Relations Director of the Reds. He takes you behind the scenes of a Major League team. And he writes funny captions for his photos.
Big Smudge
Plenty of scenery and funny stuff on Big Smudge. I'll be honest, these guys told me they were fans of my show, and even if they didn't mean it, that gets them linked.
Bugs and Cranks
If it's about baseball, these guys usually have something to say about it. And it's usually funny.
Busted Coverage
Booze, Ladies, and Football.
Calling It Like It Is
A guy from Cincinnati, who uh, well he calls it like it is.
Chris Sabo's Goggles
A Reds fan stuck in Chicago does a blog. He says the purpose of the blog is to inform people of the Reds without the geeky stuff, like facts for example. My kind of guy.
Cincy Coolness
You're probably thinking this website is about me. Actually, it's not.
Crosstown Shoutout
Local college basketball blog by two guys...one a UC fan, the other an XU fan.
Deadspin
The Godfather of sports blogs.
Diamond Hoggers
My favorite baseball blog. I thought I loved the game, then I read these guys.
Guyism
Stuff guys like. At least stuff normal guys like.
Hugging Harold Reynolds
Very funny sports blog with one of my favorite names.
John Clay's Sidelines
John is an outstanding writer who covers everything and anything UK-related.
Larry Brown Sports
The other Larry Brown, not the guy who's coached half the teams in the NBA.
Look At Me Shirts
Be the guy in the ironic shirt. Take credit for someone else's joke.

Slumps Happen. So Do Off Days For Radio Bloggers.
SIX MO' THINGS, 5/20/13
I'm enjoying the next two days off, from blogging, radio, and really from anything besides the swimming pool, cold beer, and a cigar or two.
We're back at it online, and on-air Wednesday, and this week's chat will be on Thursday morning.
Three quick, random, sports-related thoughts.
1) Hitters have slumps. Starting pitchers have slumps. Closers have slumps. I'm willing to attribute Arolids Chapman's recent struggles to that.
For now.
2) Now on pace to drive in over 100 runs, his average above that of his career, and helping to carry the offense, Jay Bruce is on a tear. Consistency is a myth, few hitters are consistently good. The ones that are named "Joey Votto" or "Miguel Cabrera." The others are hopefully guys like Jay Bruce, capable of going on the kind of runs he's in the midst of right now.
I haven't gotten the "Jay Bruce is like Adam Dunn" Tweet in a few days.
3) The Reds did the right thing in sending Cingrani down and keeping Leake. Tony isn't a finished product. We sometimes fall in the trap of looking at a guy's immediate success and concluding that he's ready.
He isn't.
His ceiling might be higher than Mike Leakes, but Leake is pitching well, has earned a spot in the rotation, and given that the "WALT BETTER MAKE A MOVE," movement will start within a few weeks, and given that the guy we'll most likely want the Reds to trade is Leake, doesn't it make sense for him to add to his value here, rather than there?
4) The Knicks season was a failure, the Pacers were the better team, and Lance Stephenson made me look good when I went on my ESPN show and said he'd be the key to game six. I'm rooting for Indy in the Eastern Finals.
5) Anyone who knows anything about Andrew Whitworth would hardly be surprised to read this.
6) Here's a fat guy singing with his puppet.
I'm out for a couple. Back at it on Wednesday. Enjoy the time without me. I'll be working on a radio version of this...

Just A Mo-ment: The Evolution Must Be Televised. And Replayed.
Baseball must continue to evolve. We need more replay.
