I don't know what feels odder at this point: the fact that the Bengals have a nationally televised game tonight, or that the game is on NBC. Given that it's just a preseason game, though, I probably won't watch too much of it since I have so much other stuff that I need to get to here. Looking at the Bengals' schedule for the coming year, I think I can safely say that there will be no playoffs this year; I think the Bengals will be lucky just to get to 9-7, even with Carson healthy. Still, we broke all the important streaks last year, and I won't be too disappointed if the Bengals go back to stinking it up this year.
Speaking of looking at schedules, I looked at the Tigers' upcoming schedule as well, and that kind of put me out of the mood of thinking that they might be able to win the World Series. Hell, with the number of AL powerhouses the Tigers have coming up here in the last months of the season, I don't even think I'd feel safe guaranteeing a playoff appearance at this point. I know that the Tigers are just in a temporary slump right now and they'll get back to playing winning baseball soon, but the way things are going it makes it hard to think that the Tigers will accomplish anything this season other than finishing above .500 for the first time in forever.
Yeah, back to work with me, I know.
