7-2-09, 5:35 p.m.  Steve Flesch talks pay-by-play and Brad Johansen talks play-by-play, but when they talk to each other many times it is via text. Sometimes it is Johansen, the Bengals radio play-by-play man and Channel 12 sports anchor, asking after a round, "Can you make a putt?" Other times it is Flesch, Cincinnati's major player who still golfs out of Triple Crown, offering analysis from his seat about 10 rows below Johansen in Paul Brown Stadium. Now they've teamed up for Monday's charity bonanza that is worth messaging. Read More...

  • Difference maker

    6-30-09, 10:30 p.m. The draft is always about difference-makers. The MVP vote is always about impact players. The Hall of Fame always seeks game changers. Then what in the world of Paul Brown do they call Isaac Fischer Curtis?

  • 'Two seasons in one'

    6-26-09, 8:30 p.m. The sweat is popping off Chad Ochocinco as fast as the boasts and the vows in Friday afternoon's steam of the Mount Auburn Boxing Gym. "I'm going to have two seasons in one because of what happened last year," he says. "How many guys...

A: The Bengals defense, although vastly improved, hasn't had a playmaker since David Fulcher and these are two kids that actually look like they are difference-makers. The Bengals haven't had a big linebacker that Dave Lapham says "rattles skeletons" like Maualuga since Jim LeClair three decades ago and they've never had a guy like Michael Johnson. Read More

"Is it just me or did we strike gold with this guy? He has all the talent in the world, he is extremely timid off the field, and to top it all off his character is near perfect.

I am just so happy we grabbed him in the 3rd round. Probably the biggest steal of this year's draft."
