We did it!

Take that Cleveland! Not only did my Bengals even up the season series against their rivals to the north. But, my personal curse is either been broke, or just gone away for the Holidays. All year long I’ve picked against my favorite team, and rooted for them to fail. Once I switched back, I was expecting the worst. Instead, I got to enjoy sseing them win, and felt the much appreciated gamblers boost when they did win. You had to see it coming. The game was close the first time when the Bengals were using mainly reserve’s, and the Browns had all their starters. This time, each team was using backups, but ours had several weeks of practice under their belts. All everything/Bi-polar nose Tackle Shawn Rogers had just been selected to the Pro Bowl. You had to know that dude was gonna have twice as many penalties as touchdowns. He’s the best defensive player in the league when… He is playing against the Lions, someone calls him out, or he has a contract extension on the line. He’s an asset to his opponent when… He had a huge game the week before, he’s not on national television, or he just got a contract extension/selected to the Pro Bowl. Today he was good for two first downs, when he jumped offsides on 3rd and less than five. Another time he he took a 3rd and long to a manageable 3rd and 3. Throw in the plays he took off, and he was one of the better players for the Bengals. Today the patchwork group of forgotten Bengal Jackasses, were the better team. Apparently the Cleveland coaching staff doesn’t know that when it’s in the single digits, with strong winds, that you should run the ball, and the other team will do the same. Maybe this is why the Cleveland fans want to steal away my beloved coach Cowher. All in all, I’d like to thank the Cleveland Browns for giving me yet one more early Christmas gift.
