As Oakland's season now is simply running out the clock, one has to look back at all that has gone wrong. Injuries piled up, play-calling was shoddy, players underperformed. Sure, some players did perform well, on occasion...

This Sunday, Cincinnati will be up against Oakland in what should be a guaranteed win for the Bengals. Oakland will be benching their former 1st Round Draft Pick, JaMarcus Russel, for their secondary quarterback, Bruce Gradkowski...
Am I lucky or what? One of my calculus students surprised me with his comments on Wednesday night before class. He said, "Guess what, Professor? I flew to Oakland and attended the game on Sunday...
Congratulations JaMarcus. You played yourself out of the starting rotation. Your coach made it plain, in saying that this benching isn't a one game at a time deal...
Note: The quotes in this article are fictional. With the AFC North well in hand after last Sunday's 18-12 win in Pittsburgh, the Bengals can turn their attention to more trivial things, like the Raiders...
After a bye-week hiatus and the a subsequent very busy week for my family, we're back with the old pressures, hurries, and knockdowns...
First, a bit of essential pondering to the most pressing of dilemmas. 1."Bruce Gradkowski" kinda rhymes with "Juice Mad Cow Disease." 2...
