Football Week 12 - Return of the Bungles...

I cannot take anymore. Carson Palmer throwing 4 interceptions, 2 for a score. Special Teams and Defense play a decent game and the offense tanks it. Being a season ticket holder, I will be at the game this week - but here is my alternate list of things to do, besides watching Vince Young roll all over us on the field.

Barge Watch - an old favorite of mine. Place bets with friends on when the first barge will come by the stadium. Double down and pick what type of barge and what direction of travel. Could be Coal heading upriver? Garbage heading down? or a Chemical Barge in the 1st Quarter heading downstream. Hours of entertainment.

Escalator Bingo - Players bet on when the escalators on both ends of the field begin going down instead of up. If lucky you could see a rare 3rd quarter reversal, most times the reversal happens with 5 minutes or so remaining in the game.

Taunting - No silly - not opposing team's players or fans - ours. Nothing deserves heckling more than Chris Henry mugging for the cameras in a losing effort after he served an 8 game suspension that undoubtedly played a factor in our record after the first 8 games.

File a complaint-Call the jerk line on Marvin Lewis, Chad, Carson and Jonathan Joseph for impersonation of an NFL team, getting our hopes up in August and then crushing them once again. Move from section to section and use a Tracphone so you won't get traced.

Leave Early - If all of the above fail to amuse you, then there is nothing so exhilarating as leaving early - especially before halftime. You can go out for a beer, go home and rake leaves - play with the kids - sneak in 9 holes - they is so much you can do when you suddenly have your Sunday back.

That is the message people. Take back your Sunday! Don't waste it on the Bengals any more. Liberate yourself from the cycle of pain and depression...before its too late.
