Simple question.  Do you believe in curses?  Is this city cursed?

As I reflect back on 2020 Cincinnati sports, I can't help but laugh at another lousy year.

If you really want to go back past 2020 and  take a walk down misery/memory lane, Mike Decourcy keeps a running a list every year.

So what do we do?  Do we have a public seance on fountain square?  Do we bring in a voodoo witch doctor to exorcise the demons?

Here is my proposal.  We bring in Bo Jackson and make him honorary captain for the 1st game.  Here he will publicly absolve Cincinnati from inuring his hip.  He will then literally bury a hatchet outside of the stadium.  WEBN 102.7 can sponsor the event.

What is your proposal?

I'd argue all bear some responsibility for the Bengals' fate.

In the Bengals case, it has nothing to do with Bo Jackson. No, it has to do with Mike Brown, the person who makes the whacky decisions. It's on the person in-charge.

You are in-charge of your life. If it's a disaster then only you are to blame. Obviously!

As things have been not all that good for the Bengals, just look to see what changed when that started. Well, it started with Mike Brown inheriting the team and naming himself GM. That mistake remains unrectified.
