As I watch the NBA draft and wonder if Josh Duncan will become the first modern day former Moeller Crusader (maybe modern or pre-modern day) to be selected, I have here one of the funniest videos I've seen in a long, long time. John Daly, teeing off, ball on beer can...with a guest appearance by Kid Rock.

My kinda golf!

Meantime, back to the Bengals, James Walker has this 'take' in his espn.com column.

And if this column on whatifsports.com is true, yikes! A 2-14 Bengals season ahead?
Personally, I don't think the Bengals will be that bad this season. But I don't see anything better than 6-10. The schedule is brutal and the defense hasn't been fixed all that much. And according to Marvin Lewis, they want to run the ball a lot more in 2008. Great, far too ften in 2007 the running game disappeared. But the Bengals line didn't show a whole lot in '07 when it was asked to run block. Perhaps moving big Bobbie Williams to center would be a start. Too often in '07, Eric Giachuc appeared to be wearing roller skates, getting forced back into Carson Palmer far too much.

Looks like a good hire for my alma mater. Mike DeCourcy of thesportingnews.com among many reporting tonight that Ohio has hired Ohio State's top assitant, John Groce, as the next head basketball coach of the Bobcats. Groce worked with Thad Matta at all of his stops, including three years with Xavier, here in Cincinnati. Go Bobcats!
