|  #1 Posted on 16.11.03 1838.57 | Instant Rating: 5.54 | All of the signs were there....KC was on the cover of SI, they were coming off a too-easy win, they were going on the road, Cincy was hungry.
And yet it's still weird to see Cincinnati be the team to knock off the Chiefs. This is the franchise's biggest win in literally 12 years.
Because I'm an idiot, I didn't pick the upset despite being pretty certain of a Bengals win. Yeesh.
Let's put this in the plainest terms possible: Darryl Strawberry has no business instructing anybody about anything. He has never done a thing in his life to warrant a position of guidance. Not on the field. Not off the field.-- David Vescey, si.com

I don't agree with those kind of things, but my guys stepped up big time to back him up and as you said, won their biggest game in over a decade. With Baltimore losing, we're on top of the division and have taken one more step to legitimacy.
I didn't hear anything from Boomer, but you could tell Collinsworth was grinning ear to ear going into the Fox halftime show and they end up showing no clips... :-(

Collinsworth did the Green Bay/Tampa game, and they did break in for a Game Break to talk about the Bengals win. James Brown did it for Collinsworth's benefit.
I still can't believe the former "Bungles" are tied for 1'st place at 5-5. As of right now, I have to say they could take the Ravens and they might just win the division (are we in Bizarro world?)
Molly, Stacy and Daffney all in WWE? I suddenly lost all my will to complain about anything regarding the WWE. Hope I don't lose my street cred for this.

Dude, the National Parity League IS Bizarro World.

But at least for this week, in a GOOD way.

Oh but I did! I really really did. It's stuck away in the thread about Boller being injured, but I still called it.
I'm just glad I forgot to put the smiley in after it so that I can feel all smug and clever now ;)

Boomer was proudly showing off his Bengals helmet on the desk during the CBS postgame show, and you could tell he was delighted.
Yo, it's me, it's me, it's (points to self) P-A-B!
