Is Dalton the quarterback who can lead
the Bengals to a Super Bowl? For now, at least, his coach is sticking by
him, so that’s about all that matters.

Orson Charles had no idea that the
Bengals hadn’t won a playoff game in his lifetime. Yet, it’s true. The
Bengals rookie tight end was born Jan. 27, 1991 — just three weeks after
the team’s 10-7 victory over the Houston Oilers on Jan. 6, the
franchise’s last playoff victory.

Most people remember at some point in
life dating someone we now refer to as “crazy.” The use of the word can
sometimes feel as misleading as the choice of “dating” in the same
sentence. Batshitfuckingcrazy is often the preferred description.

SATURDAY NOV. 24: The best way to increase public safety is
to get things that imperil it off the street … and then auction them
off to the public so they’ll be back on the streets. That’s the
bulletproof rationale the Kentucky State Police are employing by selling
confiscated firearms to gun dealers.

If a win isn’t televised, does it make a sound? Perhaps not, but coupled with a breather
of a stretch, a couple of wins for the Bengals could at least return the
team to TV in Cincinnati soon.

After going more than a decade without a
proper postseason, the Reds are making October a normal part of the
season, last week clinching their second postseason berth in three
years. And the way the roster has been built, there should be more to
come.

Bengals scrimmages at Paul Brown Stadium are free and open to the public
Well, it’s August and to sports fans — real sports fans — that means one thing: preseason football.
The Bengals preseason training camp, for the first time
ever, is being held at Paul Brown Stadium and all practices and
scrimmages are free and open to the public.
Capacity shouldn’t be an issue this year, unlike their
former Georgetown, Ky., location which, let’s face it, sat less people
than most middle school lacrosse games.
If you’re really jonesing for a Bengals fix, check out the
Intrasquad Scrimmage 3 p.m. Saturday, which features the most full
contact of camp.
Sunday at 6 is the Black/White mock game (take it easy
Kathy Wilson, it’s not what you think), where they split the team into
two squads who play a minimal-contact game against one another. They
keep score in that one, which, depending on what side A.J. Green is on,
could be a good thing.
Speaking of wide receivers, Jordan Shipley’s back from
that pesky ACL tear that sidelined him for all of last season. The
talented Mr. Shipley will be running routes alongside Brandon Tate,
Antonio Bryant (yes, that Antonio Bryant) and third-round-pick Mohamed
Sanu.
Some other new faces worth checking out are former
Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis and rookie tight end Orson
Charles.
Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait on buying tickets to
Kirkpatrick Island (wow, that really doesn’t have a ring to it) as the
new cornerback, and first-overall draft pick, is missing most of camp
due to an undisclosed leg injury.
So check out the 2012 Bengals while it’s still free. It’s
the best chance you’ll have to dip your toe in the water before deciding
if you want to sell a kidney to afford those Party Deck tickets. For the complete preseason schedule, click here.

If you want to buy the jersey of the
Bengals’ best player, you can’t just head down to Dick’s and pick up his
jersey off of a rack.

Looking for their first back-to-back
winning seasons and consecutive playoff appearances in 20 years, the
Bengals enter the 2012 season with the swagger of a Pro Bowl
quarterback-receiver tandem that could be the backbone of a winning
foundation for years to come (haven’t we heard that before?).

Are we living in some kind of strange new
world where down is up, dogs live in harmony with cats and the Bengals
are a well-run organization? Because it appears that the Bengals, long
the butt of jokes not just here in Cincinnati, but nationwide, are
making — gasp — sensible and shrewd decisions.
