Hear that Bengal growling...

... mean and angry!

Oh, to be 3-0 in Cincinnati. To be the butt of NFL jokes for 10+ years (humor me), and suddenly turn into the NFL's new Golden, Cinderella Team.

We'll take it, thank you very much.

I haven't lined up for playoff tickets yet, and I realize that sporting fate is especially fickle, but I'm on the Bengals Bus and loving it.

Bring on Week 4!! It's Week 4, all ready? But it's not even cold yet...

And, OK, so you're not a baseball fan (why do you hate America?), but even the San Francisco Giants remain alive down to the wire, and you should begin paying attention.

A sporting autumn to be remembered... I hope.
