Where to sit?

Hey all, I'm a Bengals fan living in Los Angeles and will be heading to San Diego next December to see the Chargers vs. Bengals. Wanted to ask if you could give me any recommendations on what sections I should try and get or avoid? Also, any suggestions on a pre-game beer or two would be greatly appreciated. Oh, one more thing, please continue to kick the crap out of the Raiders and Broncos and best of luck in 09/10!

Would sure look nice in Red!!! Just released by the Braves after a successful rehab start in A ball. If I'm running the team I'm already on the phone seeing if we can make a run at him. We haven't gotten much out of the 5th spot in the rotation and with Volquez on the DL this makes a lot of sense if a deal can done. I mean worst case he flames out but I bet he has innings and wins left in him. Not to mention the pitching knowledge he can share with the youngsters. Go get him, now! I have spoken.

Carson's confidence

Mike Silver Article

So it seems that every time I poke around the net I find an article where Carson can't say enough about how improved the team is and that they are going to be a lot better than last year. They guy is either seriously impressed with the way the off season has gone or a bit delusional, one or the other. I for one love his confidence and enthusiasm, he is turning into the type of leader that this team needs. So he is presumably healthy and stoked about the guys around him, does he make it back to the Pro Bowl this year?

Hey, just wondering how you guys feel about this, it was posted on the Bengals page and of course everyone thinks he should be in, look forward to your comments.

Is Willie Anderson a Hall-of-Famer?

I'd like to think so. He was a stalwart at tackle his entire career. He never won the big game, but do tackles have to? He was one of (if not the best) the premier tackles of his generation. I'm certainly pulling for him.

Oy, I guess I need more words for this to be a FanPost. Let's take a look at some of the important achievements of Willie's career:

Missed a total of 27 games in his 13 NFL seasons, including his rookie season. He played in 181 of the 208 possible games his teams played in during his career.

Went to the Pro-Bowl from 2003-2007.

First-team All Pro from 2004-2006. Second team All Pro in 2003.
