The thoughts and perspectives of a Cincinnati West Sider who left to pursue his dream of working for ESPN. Passionately Catholic, huge sports fan, trying to stay an optimist. I love my family and friends. Looking to bring some Ohio values to New England.
Follow me on Twitter. Enjoy this hockey announcer call a game while it appears that he's getting a prostate exam, ignore the French guy, wait for the end.
So, the Yankees travel to Fenway to take on the 0-6 Red Sox this weekend. Let's get you in the mood, shall we?
If you're gonna do a bad parody of Friday (which was terrible to begin with), at least try to sing. Although this guy can barely talk...
Warning: very mild language...
Uh... yeah that just happened...
OK, so this is a little sloppy and not the best video quality, but it's still awesome.
Here's your link to follow me on Twitter. I'll be on GoBearcats.com Saturday and Sunday afternoon calling UC Baseball action against Western Michigan. Have a great weekend and enjoy the NCAA Tournament insanity.

A look back at how Mick Cronin scrapped his way through the past five years to finally get UC back to the NCAA Tournament.
Bill Koch wonders how UC would have fared this season if Lance Stephenson wouldn’t have left to ride the pine for the Pacers. I personally think the Bearcats are better off without him, but if Mick would have been able to adjust his attitude the way he did with Yancy Gates, this team could have been scary good with a go-to scorer.
Xavier’s talented women’s team feels they got robbed out of playing in the Dayton regional in the NCAA Tournament, and I have to agree. The Women’s tournament is one of the most corrupt and unusual events you’ll find. The projected good teams are the ones that get chosen to host the first rounds, like Xavier gets to do this year, because the NCAA knows those schools will sell tickets. Xavier not getting respect, because they are a smaller school, is the reason they have to go to Spokane instead of Dayton. Just goes to show the ongoing corruptness of the governing body of collegiate athletics.

Ohio high school football is outstanding, but they lack behind other states in one important issue.
I’m really tired of hearing about the NFL labor situation and every little detail that doesn’t get them any closer to a new CBA. However, this article provides some good perspective and new legal options.
I feel for these kids who are trying to make a name for themselves, but even at the college level you can pump out a better quality broadcast than this.
“I’m dead!” No, you’re just an idiot who was running around in oncoming traffic. Stay off drugs kids.
You might hate soccer, but look at this video and tell me that’s not impressive.
Not a fan of Gus Johnson’s? Then you’ll love this under reaction to a game-winning shot.
Apparently Cincinnati is really good at Facebook, Twitter, Four Square, etc… Does that make us really geeky or socially advanced?
