Catch Brennamania!

What is Brennamania? Well, before I tell you about Brennamania, I feel
I must tell you about the symptoms of Brennamania. Some of these
symptoms are: Perfect, George Hamilton-esque white teeth, an
unabashedly and unbiased view of the Reds, perfectly coiffed hair, and
the slight inability to pronounce Rs (example – Error = Erra )

Now Brennamania is usually preceded by an acute case of Segititis.
Don't worry too much about Segititis as it's pretty harmless. The most
you can suffer from is a slight case of gas and dizziness.

Now there are a couple of different variations of Brennamania. There
is the very potent strain of Brennamania, which consists of a double
dose of Brennaman. This is the pure strain, the "omega strain" of
Brennamania, if you will. If you are going to be afflicted with
Brennamania; this is the strain for you. You will be left with
perfectly white teeth and the desire to ask people "How 'bout that
dad?"

If one isn't careful, you could get a mutant strain of Brennamania.
You could catch Brennabrantleymania, which isn't as viral as the
original strain of Brennamania, but could be very dangerous. Symptoms
of Brennabrantleymania include fondly reminiscing about your past in
baseball, and peppering your play-by-play with Ross Perot-like non
sequiturs.

Once in a rare while, they might catch Nuxhabrennamania, a little seen
strain of the 'mania. This is also known as a classic strain, a
pre-curser to the now powerful Brennamania. It used to bring a warm
feeling to your heart. Unfortunately, this strain is pretty rare and
difficult to find.

All these strains might sound scary, but remember this: there is no
chance of ever catching Grandewelshmania. Yet.

Nothing more fun than a couple guys sitting around a table playing NFL General Manager.  That's how we spent our time during this week's podcast. Click here to listen to it now!

Here's how it went down.  Tedesco had the first pick, Franny the second, and me the third.  And then we just kept rotating.  When we got to the Bengals, we each made a pick for our home team.  Then we just filled out the rest of the first round with likely suspects.

This was live.  There was no formal clock, but I'm sure we all felt the pressure to keep this moving and not spend too time hemming and hawing since that would make bad radio.

1. Oakland Raiders - JeMarcus Russell, QB, LSU (Tedesco)
   
2. Detroit Lions - Brady Quinn, QB, Notre Dame (Franny)
   
3. Cleveland Browns - Adrian Peterson, RB, Oklahoma (Woody)
   
4. Tampa Bay Bucs - Gaines Adams, DE, Georgia (Tedesco)
5. Arizona Cardinals - Joe Thomas, OT, Wisconsin (Franny)
6. Washington Redskins - Calvin Johnson, WR, Georgia Tech (Woody)
7. Minnesota Vikings - Ted Ginn, Jr, WR, OSU (Tedesco)
8. Atlanta Falcons - Jamaal Anderson, DE, Arkansas (Franny)
9. Miami Dolphins - Levi Brown, OT, PSU (Woody)
10. Houston Texans - Amobi Okoye, DT, Louisville (Tedesco)
11. San Francisco 49ers - Dwayne Jarrett, WR, USC (Franny)
12. Buffalo Bills - Leon Hall, CB, Michigan (Woody)
13. St. Louis Rams - Darrelle Revis, CB, Pitt (Tedesco)
14. Carolina Panthers - Greg Olsen, TE, Miami (Franny)
15. Pittsburgh Steelers - Lawrence Timmons, LB, LSU (Woody)
16. Green Bay Packers - Marshawn Lynch, RB, Cal (Tedesco)
17. Jacksonville Jaguars - Reggien Nelson, S, Florida (Franny)
18. Cincinnati Bengals - Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss, (Woody) Paul Puslusny, PSU, (Tedesco) Adam Carriker, DE/LB, Nebraska (Franny)
19. Tennessee Titans - Robert Meachem, WR, Tennessee
    
20. New York Giants - Chris Houston, CB, Arkansas
21. Denver Broncos - Jarvis Moss, DE, Florida
    
22. Dallas Cowboys - Dwayne Bowe, WR, LSU
23. Kansas City Chiefs - Sidney Rice, WR, South Carolina
    
24. New England Patriots - Michael Griffen, S, Texas
25. New York Jets - Aaron Ross, CB, Texas
    
26. Philadelphia Eagles - Jon Beason, LB, Miami
    
27. New Orleans Saints - Quinn Pitcock, DT, tOSU
    
28. New England Patriots - Anthony Spencer, DE, Purdue
    
29. Baltimore Ravens - Justin Blalock, OT, Texas
30. San Diego Chargers - Brandon Meriweather, S, Miami
31. Chicago Bears - Tank Tyler, DT, NC State
    
32. Indianapolis Colts - Justin Harrell, DT, Tennessee

And there it is.  As you can tell, in the throes of drafting, a few players were overlooked.  I've got to come up with a better system or a new cheat sheet to make sure that players like LaRon Landry and Alan Branch don't end up completely lost simply because they dropped a little lower than expected.  My bad.  But it's all part of the learning process.  Maybe next year's will be better.

So What Happens In Vegas apparently makes it to the front page of the Enquirer.   Check this shit out:

Former Steelers linebacker Joey Porter was cited for misdemeanor battery after allegedly punching Bengals left tackle Levi Jones in the face in Las Vegas over the weekend, according to the Las Vegas Review Journal.

The incident happened at a blackjack table in the Palms casino on Sunday night, the newspaper reported.

We're definitely awaiting more details about this incident.   Was Levi talking trash about Porter/The Dolphins?  Did he stay on a hard 15 with the dealer showing a face card?  Did he split 10's?  I guess I could justify Porter's action for that last one...  We want details...  Porter is a punk and Levi certainly doesn't have a reputation for being a micreant. 

I'd also like to point out that I too have been kicked out of the Palms Blackjack tables.  The pit bosses there are real assholes.

Despite both playing very sloppy basketball, The Ohio State Buckeyes and Xavier Musketeers treated hoops fans to a thrilling battle yesterday as the #1 Seed Bucks defated Xavier in OT, 78-71.

As an Ohio State graduate and fan, I cannot remember a more heart-racing Buckeye sports experience since the 2002 National Championship Game in football. The Buckeyes never seemed to get any momentum going and let Xavier hang around too long. The next thing I knew I was looking up at a 9 point Xavier lead with 2:54 to go in the game. The Buckeyes appeared to be doomed. OSU had shown no indications that they could hit shots all night, Greg Oden was about to foul out and the cheap Xavier fans surrounding me at Buffalo Wild Wings started chanting "Nah Nah Nah Nah Hey Hey Hey Goodbye" in my face. But despite all that - I still sensed Sean Miller wasn't meant to win this game, something crazy was going to happen, and it did.

tOSU somehow creeped back in the ballgame, cutting the deficit by 2 with 10 seconds left. Oden commits his fifth foul and sends Justin Cage to the foul line. After hearing Cage whine all week about Thad Matta's departure from XU, I thought in the back of my mind that this guy may go up there and seal the victory - getting his sweet revenge on old Matta, but he didn't. He missed the second free throw, giving OSU just enough time to storm down the court and make a long 3 pointer to send the game to overtime. Mike Conley Jr scored all the Buckeyes' points in OT to put the Bucks in the Sweet 16. Amazing.

There will be no Cinderella story for Xavier. Ron Lewis' 3 pointer at the buzzer also probably cost Sean Miller millions of dollars in offers for other coaching positions, but he'll still leave. That's the Xavier way right? Make a run in the NCAA Tournament every 3-4 years and have your coach leave for bigger opportunities. Don't be surprised if Miller is coaching the Wolverines next season.

Also - while I am at it I'd like to point out publically just how classless the XU fans were. I realize this game was a heartbreaker but that is not a reason to make statements like "I hope you enjoyed your PUBLIC education, how much did you even pay for that? $7000?" and "I will make more money than you" and "I got a real JESUIT education." I've had a lot of people talk trash to me before but this was just ridiculous. Chances are your doctor, dentist and rich daddy's lawyer are all graduates of tOSU, so don't throw that shit my way suckaz! It is just a basketball game. You are embarrassing your famous alumni, Mike Damone and Bill Cunningham! Go Bucks!

	david aka the TYZ - March 19, 2007 I agree that it should not have been an intentional foul. I think Oden's momentum into the player made it look a lot worse. With that said what a shame X is sent packing. Just breaks my heart. Xavier is the ONE opponent I will pull for Ohio State to beat. I was upset the two had to play each other but at least one gets eliminated. Go Vols.
	Franny - March 19, 2007 So are you claiming that your father knows more than NCAA coaches and officials? UPDATED: What I've gathered on the Oden foul Since this seems to be the topic that won't go away...I talked to four college coaches and two college officials.... I asked for their opinion/interpretation of the 5th foul on Oden and if it should have been ruled intentional/flagrant. I feel even better about my initial thought. Only one I spoke with thought it could have been ruled intentional. It seems to be more of a fan driven debate, and I can certainly understand the passion of the Xavier fans involved. Highlights of what was told to me: "A frustration foul does not = an intentional foul...." "It must be obvious...a swing, punch, undercut or a breakaway takedown" "At the time, the thought of an intentional didn't even enter my mind" "I actually thought OSU was fouled on the putback" "As a coach, on either team in that situation, I'd prefer an intentional foul not be called...it would have to be a situation where you undercut someone when they are airborne" "Intentional fouls on a scrum under the basket are so rare, I certainly don't recall many" "Any foul by a 7ft 280 lb player is going to look harsh.....I equate it to a Shaq foul." "This is easy........If you have questions about it, it's not intentional...it must be obvious." "You are taught to give the benefit of the doubt" "CBS's crew did not even make an issue of it" Here are three points given to me by a college official of 20+ years. 1. The assignment chairman for these conferences/leagues have required meetings every offseason where game situations are reviewed and discussed. End of game issues are always on the agenda. 2. Here is what we were told on a number of different occasions over many seasons by a number of different assignment chairmen and many coaches who attended these meetings: if the foul is blatantly/unequivocally intentional: a punch that connects, a hard push where the player gets seriously injured, an undercut where the player sails through the air and lands on his back or head then you are instructed/required to call such a foul intentional or flagrant. 3. If on the other hand there is some doubt in your mind about the severity of the foul and the factors listed above are absent you were instructed NOT to call it intentional or flagrant and "let the kids decide the outcome of the game." 4. This makes such a call very subjective and subject to officials' interpretation but they have drilled it into your head that at the end of the game there should be no doubt in anyone's mind that it was intentional and if it is questionable you are expected to opt for the less serious foul. Lance, This is what I believe caused the official to make the call he did (although I do not necessarily agree with the decision, I am explaining why I think it was called the way it was).
	Franny - March 18, 2007 JMart- Wouldn't the XU people have the inferiority complex? They are the ones that made the comments. Read the blog please.
	JMart - March 18, 2007 Franny you have a serious inferiority complex about your alma mater. You say this stuff all the time. You really must subconsciously feel your OSU degree doesn't match up or something. I also noticed how you didn't mention a thing about the officials not having the balls to call an obvious intentional or flagrant foul on Oden when he absolutely levelled Cage. My father, an OSU alum and ardent Buckeyes fan basically said it was a chicken-shit and terrible call.
	Woodmania - March 18, 2007 This could have been a HUGE program builder for X. Talk about a giant missed opportunity. They could have milked this win for years when talking to recruits.

Hey, did you know that it's March Madness time? You might have heard that somewhere. Perhaps even in your own office. You may have already filled out a bracket or two. There's a growing number of rules and decorum that need to be established in regards to this kind subgenre. The big one that gets talked about is the number of brackets you get to fill out. It's easy to say you picked all the upsets when you wrote out 35 different possibilities. But I think we've pretty much established than any more than a couple unique brackets deems you worthy of ostracization. The other subject I think needs to be cleared up is how much love do you have to show your team. It doesn't get talked about much, although it was brought up on Mike & Mike in the Morning today, but I'd like to get some rules set.

If your school is in the NCAA Tournament, do you owe it to them to pick them to win a certain number of games? If you're an Ohio State fan, is it sacriligious if you don't have your Buckeyes in the Final Four? Or winning it all? If you're a mid-major, are you required to pick your team to upset the favorite? You need to put your money where your mouth is and pick them to win at least one game as long as they're not going up against a 1 or 2 seed. After all, showing love should not cost you the chance at the office pool. If you're a national championship contender like OSU, anything less than the Elite Eight is an disgrace and you need to forfeit your Buckeye stickers. Sound fair? For the teams in between, the 3-10 seed range, it gets a little murkier.

During UC's hey-day, I used to get a lot of crap for predicting Cincinnati would win the first game and lose the second one. More often than not, they were seeded to do better than that. But this team, under Bob Huggins, was notorious for "one and done" performances in the Big Dance. So, I made my brackets reflect that. Of course, those who gave me a hard time were Murray State grads who wouldn't even pick their team to win one game so what the hell do they know?

We're about halfway through the Grapefruit League season and I figured it was about time for a little update on the Reds and how their Opening Day roster is shaping up.

Infield (6)
In - Scott Hatteberg, Brandon Phillips, Alex Gonzalez, Edwin Encarnacion, Jeff Conine, Juan Castro
On the Bubble - Mark Bellhorn
Not Looking Good - Joey Votto, Jeff Keppinger, Anderson Machado, Paul Janish

Bellhorn's situation will depend on the number mix between IF/OF's. Keppinger made their decision easier by breaking a finger, Votto won't make the team because he's behind both Hatteberg and Conine, and Janish is in a similar situation at SS behind Gonzalez and Castro. Bellhorn plays mainly 2B and 3B and would be a likely fit unless the Reds decide Freel will be playing more on the infield dirt than the outfield grass.

Outfield (5)
In - Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey, Ryan Freel, Josh Hamilton
On the Bubble - Bubba Crosby, Dewayne Wise
Not Looking Good - Chris Denorfia, Norris Hopper

Denorfia and Hopper's situations are looking more like Louisville because they just haven't been hitting. Crosby is hitting .348 so far this spring with a HR. Josh Hamilton is working on playing someone out of a job. After going 3-3 on Sunday, his average is up to .538.

Catchers (2)
In - David Ross
Duking it Out - Javier Valentin, Chad Moeller

Marty got Jerry Narron to admit today that they won't be carrying three catchers going into the season. Valentin has the advantage because of his pinch hitting ability off the bench. Moeller would bring a significantly better glove than either Ross or Javy though.

Rotation (5)
In - Aaron Harang, Bronson Arroyo, Kyle Lohse
On the Bubble - Paul Wilson, Eric Milton, Matt Belisle, Kirk Saarloos, Elizardo Ramirez
Not Looking Good - Homer Bailey, Bobby Livingston

Belisle looks like he makes this rotation. Saarloos hasn't actually started yet, but has been effective out of the bullpen. Both will be on the team regardless, in the bullpen if not the rotation. Paul Wilson looked pretty decent in his two starts, but struggled in his relief outing. Milton seems to be working his way out of a job. The Lizard has given up only one run and walked none in his 5 innings so far. Homer "Ace in Waiting" Bailey has been a best case scenario for the Reds. They don't want to bring him up right away, that's obvious, so his struggles to start the spring will allow them to send him to Louisville to start the season without raising too many complaints from fans.

Bullpen (7)
In - Mike Stanton, David Weathers, Todd Coffey, Bill Bray, Rheal Cormier
On the Bubble - Kerry Ligtenberg, Brian Meadows, Brian Shackelford, Dustin Hermanson, Brad Salmon
Not Looking Good - Victor Santos, Phil Dumatrait, Michael Gosling, everyone else

I'm pretty sure the Reds will go with 12 pitchers, so that means there are only two spots available in the bullpen. If the Reds keep Milton and Wilson in the rotation, those two spots will be filled by Belisle and Saarloos. Let's say both of them end up in the rotation. Things get iffy. Victor Santos has had a great spring so far: no runs, 3 hits, no walks in 5 2/3 innings, with 5 strikeouts. He also has more major league experience than a lot of the other guys fighting for a job, but no one is talking about him, not a good sign. Salmon has yet to give up a run, but has had trouble with his control. Meadows, Shackelford, and Ligtenberg have all been good. Dumatrait, Hermanson, and Gosling have only pitched one inning each so far, so they get an incomplete grade.

My Steinbach Jersey
Originally uploaded by Woodmania.

You may not have noticed this in the flurry of NFL activity, but Eric Steinbach is now a Brown. Yes, a Cleveland Brown. I guess I can't really blame him since they backed up a dump truck full of cash to his house.

But I'm not really concerned about him. Where does this deal leave me? As you can see, I am the owner of a Bengals jersey sporting his name. It was a great gift at the time and I have worn it with pride.

So what do I do with this jersey now? Surely, I can't ever wear it again, right? My gut reaction is to burn it. Extreme, I know. But, in my mind, Stiny essentially burned all his bridges by going to a divisional rival. If he went to Arizona or some other team we wouldn't play much, there would be no harm. But Cleveland?! He's dead to me now. And the last thing I need are reminders of him stinking up my closet.

I know they say the NFL has no off-season, but I figured the players at least took some time off during the "business season."  Not so for Bengals wide receiver TJ Houshmanzadeh. He just took part in the Conduct Advisory Committee where he an bunch of players advised the commissioner to what to do about all the off-the-field antics done by their fellow players. They took a hard stand and suggested a three strikes and you're out policy.  I'm sure that will make him popular in the locker room where 1/8th of the players have been arrested this past year. 

On top of that, ProFootballTalk.com says he hired his new agent. Now he has to deny rumors he wants to leave town. Of course, that website is pretty much the NFL's version of Mr. X, except that Homer's crazy rumors actually had a ring of truth to it. The fact that the article claims Chris Henry is a threat to #84's playing time pretty much lets you know this is not a credible sourse.  TJ says he loves it here and that he's not asking for a trade.

Hopefully, Housh's able to get some pre-season conditioning in while being such a newsmaker.

Cincinnati Sports is taking a look at some of the players in the NFL Draft during our Better Know A Prospect series.

Paul Posluszny is a linebacker I've seen on a few mock drafts that could be picked by our Bengals. Due to a crazy 2006 season, the linebacker position is thinner than I would like. Could PP be what Cincinnati needs?

There's the "C" Word Again: What's the kid's character like? Impecable, apparently. GoPSUsports's profile of him goes like this: "With a trophy cabinet overflowing with accolades, an equally impressive grade-point average (3.57 in finance following the spring semester) and a humble, yet piercingly intense demeanor that inspires the respect and loyalty of teammates, All-American Paul Posluszny easily could have been a too-good-to-be-true character ripped from the pages of a 1950’s teen novel." Seems like just what the Bengals battered PR department could go for right now.

Woody's Take: Big time player at a big time school who's a super quality guy. Is it just me or does he sound a lot like David Pollack? And you wouldn't have to have him switch positions. We'll see how his numbers look at this week's NFL Combine but a guy who can contribute to the team on the field and to the team's image off-the-field would be a homerun. Maybe this is the guy who can do both. Besides, Jack Ham said Posluszny was the best linebacker to ever play at Penn State. Best LB ever at Linebacker U? Sounds good to me.
