Good Evening all on this cold Veteran's Day night. Do yourself a favor, and go thank someone that is serving or has served in the United States Military, but you should be doing that everyday, not just this day.
I've decided after my ten month hiatus, that I'll return to my post here on Sports Blog Cincinnati. Why? Easy, I'm a depressed sports fan, and a depressed Cincinnati sports fan in particular. No better way to share my depressing sports fan thoughts than with other depressed Cincinnati sports fans.
Tonight's post won't be long, as I have Thursday Night Football on NFL Network to watch...on a side note, I think the Network has more people in studio and at the Dome covering the game than the 90 players that will dress for both teams.
Former posts here on the blog were more columns than anything. Perfect for newspapers. Biggest difference between a columnist and a reporter? Columns, put yourself in the article and give your opinion and thoughts, and reporting, take yourself out and give only facts, not opinions. The new blog will be different. Every once in a while I'll pull something outta the hat and write a great "column" worth some money...all thanks to my college education...but for now, I will cover mostly Cincinnati sports, e.g. Remember 2008, when Carson Palmer got hurt in the Giants game, and sitting him the following week was a "precaution?" He started one game the rest of the year, and was done...Him not practicing the past two days is giving me a bad feeling...some major news throughout each league, and some sports news in general. I'll post some videos, pictures and great links.
For an idea on how the blog may look, go visit Mo Egger's, Lance McAlister's or Paul Daugherty's blog. The links are on the page below to the left...just look.
Spread the word, The Easy is back, and recharged...look for me to blog once a day, twice if you're lucky. Before I go, I'll leave you with this, Jay Bruce and Joey Votto were screwed out of a Gold Glove, and Votto was screwed out of the Silver Slugger. Harold Reynolds on MLB Network said Albert Pujols' numbers were better than Votto's across the board...as our favorite CBSSports.com columnist and former CNATI.com contributor C. Trent Rosecrans put it, "He must be talking about just Home Runs and RBI's."
Joey Votto forever, Albert Pujols never!
