You want news? I will give you some news! I just learned the Bengals are getting ready to drop a bomb of bad news on the good people of hamilton county. Seems the Bengals feel that there is a high likelyhood of the NFL expanding the regular season. If so the regular season will strech well into January. So, Bengals feel at that point they will need an indoor practice facility. Guess, come on, guess who they want to pay for it? Come on, I will give you three guesses and the first two do not count! That's right, Hamilton County....

Theme-Creator,
That's awesome news, actually. This gives the Bengals the indoor practice facility that they've been needing for years now, plus I don't live in Hamilton County. Of course, it's shitty news for you guys.
In all seriousness, hopefully Mikey Boy doesn't have any stooges on the Hamilton County Board this time around, and they actually stand up to him. I want the Bengals to have an indoor practice facility, but not at the expense of education or community programs in the Cincinnati area.

If Mikey boy wants an indoor practice facility, he can build it himself. It'll take a lotta balls to ask for public money right now given the County budget deficits and the team's (and Mikey's) performance. The public backlash would be incredible.
So why wouldn't it surprise me if asks the taxpayer for another state of the art facility? Because he's Mikey boy and that's what he does.

Him asking could go a long way for the cause!
