I had a professor tell me once to take the best quote you have and throw it away when you start writing a feature.The point was that if you did enough reporting, you should have a lot of great stuff...

Well, hope everyone has a good New Year's.No TOL tomorrow, I think we'll all still be asleep and then watching college football.* Don Banks at SI.com said Dhani Jones deserved a nod for the Pro Bowl.I think the biggest thing...
So, if the Patriots lose and the Bengals win, they get the three seed.OK, so if both lose, the Bengals need:1. Cleveland to beat Jacksonville AND2. Pittsburgh to beat Miami AND3. Indianapolis to beat Buffalo AND4. And one of these...
I promise I'm not going to talk about this every day until February, but my buddy Kevin Kaduk of Yahoo!'s Big League Stew wrote about Cnati.com yesterday and our spring training drive.I've got to tell you, I've been overwhelmed by...
Tonight the Pro Bowl rosters will be announced and I'm not sure I'd be shocked if the Bengals weren't represented.I think they have some Pro Bowl-worthy players. Certainly it's tough to diminish what Cedric Benson's done, and the two corners...
You may notice something new later today -- for the first time, we're asking for money.I want to go to Reds spring training in Arizona this year and bring the latest to you guys, be it stories, blogs, videos, pictures,...
Chad Ochocinco needs 79 yards to reach 10,000 for his career.Here's the list of the others who have hit the 10,000 receiving yard mark. If you think about when these guys played, it says quite about about how the game...
I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas, I know I will.While the DLP went home to Georgia, I'm here so I can stick around for Bengals stuff again. While I hate not being with her because she really enjoys Christmas,...
Yeah...* Sometimes you work on a story and it gets bumped. And bumped. And bumped. And, well, at some point I was worried I wouldn't finish it. So with a day off on Tuesday, I was finally able to get...
I guess it's college basketball season.Well, at least there are bowls for a while.* Deonta Vaughn was supposed to be the one thing UC could count on this season -- but he's struggled so far this season. That's bad news...
There's a lot of times Chad Ochocinco does stuff just to be seen, to draw attention to himself. I honestly believe Sunday wasn't one of those times.He said he didn't wear 15 because he thought it would distract from the...
Yeah, I got nothing.It's been a long week. I need sleep to be as witty and insightful as I usually am here -- or wait, I usually get some sleep and I'm not witty or insightful, so maybe it's something...
Chad Ochocinco was Unocinco for a day, wearing Chris Henry's No. 15 for Thursday's practice in honor of his former teammate.Although Ochocinco didn't say anything about wanting to wear 15 on Sunday, Joe Reedy of the Enquirer and I asked...
I don't understand those who want to judge right now -- there's plenty of time later to feel self-righteous and superior. Right now, a man, a father, a son, is fighting for his life. How, where, why he got there...
So, do we wait to see who Central Michigan hires to see who will be the next UC head coach after Butch Jones?* I like the Jones hire. We'll see how it works out, but the expectations have been raised...
I'll talk to Jeff Quinn today, many reports say he's already interviewed for the UC head coaching position.I'm not totally against him getting the job -- it's not as if it's unprecedented for an assistant to take over and have...
It seems like the less we pay attention to the Crosstown Shootout, the better the game is.Yes, it was sloppy at times and not the basketball purists' dream, but it was fun to watch. You saw two teams that...
So, I was planning a big TOL today since I missed the last couple of days at the Winter Meetings. I got back home on Thursday and, well, I'm headed back to Indiana today.Josh Katzowitz and I are driving...
Well, this is going to be short, because I'm headed to Indianapolis to go to the MLB Winter Meetings, and I'll be writing all about that for most of the day. I expect to have a story over on the...
There's nothing like RedsFest and the winter meetings to get you in a baseball mood.But are you excited by this Reds team?For years I heard people say the Reds should just go young -- and it appeared they were doing...
I know I've said it before, but they didn't listen to me -- the Bengals need a blackout.Right now, they're the boys who cried wolf.The team is saying they're in danger of a blackout, but nobody believes it'll happen. Fans...
You know what question is irrelevant? Whether Notre Dame has contacted Brian Kelly.That might have been important many moons ago, but with search firms and agents, both schools and coaches have plausible deniability.Whoever is the next Notre Dame coach has...
I'd like to welcome a new member to the Cnati family -- Paul Dehner Jr. has joined Cnati.com full-time and will primarily cover colleges for us, but will do a bit of everything.Although Paul comes to us direct from Georgia,...
