Jim Tressel Out at Ohio State

In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I discuss the end of the Jim Tressel era at Ohio State, how his negligence will be felt for years to come in Columbus, and the Reds opening a long home stand with a solid victory over the Milwaukee Brewers.

This may be the way Jim Tressel's impact will be felt at Ohio State for a long time.

Reds End Losing Streak and Miami Heat Fans FAIL

Today in the Fast Break, I talk about the Reds snapping their six-game losing streak, continuing to fine tune some of the bigger problems for this club, and how the fans of the Miami Heat only show up for the postseason, just like the team.

Yes, I know I'm a couple days late on this, but it's still awesome.


And there's this bit of awesomeness from Tosh.0.

Cubs Throw One Away

Today's Cincinnati Fast Break talks about the outstanding pitching of Edinson Volquez last night, the Cubs inability to play defense like a Major League team, and the Reds winning 11 of their last 13.

A big congrats to former UC base-stealer extraordinaire Tony Campana, who made his Major League debut last night for the Cubs. I had the pleasure of broadcasting UC baseball games while Tony was still rocking the red and black and anyone who saw him play shouldn't be surprised by his meteoric rise to baseball's highest stage.

In honor of the Pirates coming to town tonight, there's a new bully on the block who doesn't like how some Steel City bars do business.

Follow me on Twitter. Enjoy your Wednesday folks. Here's some college kids who got bored at a rain delay.

Reds Sweep Cardinals

In today's Cincinnati Fast Break, I cover the Reds sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals, how these current Cardinals might be disappointing those who have gone before them, and the spark for this current turnaround for the Reds.

Flag Waving and Jersey Fails

Yesterday reminded us of the great connection that sports can have with patriotism. Seeing all of these displays really makes me disappointed that the Reds game was postponed, I had some good stuff planned for GABP but by tomorrow afternoon I have a feeling that the news of the weekend will be old news. But at least yesterday folks around the country had reactions like this to our National Anthem.

I know they always cheer like this in the United Center when Jim Cornelison sings but I certainly had special significance yesterday. As did the San Diego Padres wearing their special camo uniforms.

Apparently Johnny Cueto needs another rehab start in Louisville. He struggled in his last appearance so I'd say give him more time. Better to have him ready and effective for the long haul of the summer.

Homer Bailey is ready to go and has looked great in his rehab appearances. He'll take the hill for the Reds on Thursday afternoon.

This is really funny. It'd be funnier if it was in Columbus and not Michigan.

Anything Mario Bros. usually gets my attention. This is for the southern readers.


I'm all for custom jerseys, but this is pathetic.

I know the subject matter is pretty old, but it's still worth a few laughs.

Death of Osama

Today I take a break from sports and talk about the impact that the death of Osama Bin Laden has on our way of life. How we should be grateful for our freedoms, our military, and the hope that this feeling of unity can last instead of just fading away.


Not a lot to say that hasn't already been said. We'll be back to our regular sports-themed programming tomorrow folks. God bless America.
