Greetings from Cincinnati! I want to congratulate you on hiring Mike Zimmer because you just found a GREAT head coach. We are going to miss Mike a lot in Cincinnati because it was because of him that the Bengals have been in the playoffs four of the last five seasons. I've been to training camp a ...

I have my tickets for the playoffs and I have a good feeling. We have the Chargers up first. We beat them in San Diego a few weeks ago but this is the playoffs.

From Cincinnati:

Congratulations on your win against the Lions. They aren't an easy out: The Bengals had to play really well to beat them.

You have an up-and-coming team and great fans.

There's a reason we didn't keep Leslie Frazier around in Cincinnati: Insufficient aggression. Leslie was Marvin Lewis' first defensive coordinator but the results weren't what Marvin wanted. What I saw in the game last week in Cincinnati -- I was there -- was Minnesota's defense playing like the ...

Mike Zimmer deserves a head coaching job all right -- but naturally I prefer it be here in Cincinnati if Mike Brown "promotes" Marvin Lewis to the Front Office. If you can land him in Minnesota, more power to you! He's tough and scary and demands perfection from everyone at all depths. Last week in ...

Merry Christmas to all Vikings fans from me, a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals who lives in SW Ohio. I went to the game in Cincinnati last week and I just want to say how wonderful, polite, friendly, and knowledgeable the Vikings fans at the game were. I admire your loyalty to your team even in the ...
