I'm a new person

Readers who know me probably know that last football season I acquired a new taste for football. Previously I really didn't pay any attention and had no idea how to even keep track of what was going on in a game beyond touchdowns. No longer. Last season I kept track of a fantasy football league at work and started rooting for the Bengals. I have to say, I've been sucked in. Now that the Bengals are in training camp I find myself reading all the headlines on Cincinnati.com about the Bengals and what's happening in training camp. By no means can I claim to know everything but I know things like Rudi Johnson has slimmed down this year and how if Ahmad Brooks can keep things clean off the field he could be a great addition to the team. I even added a Bengals blog to my RSS feeds. Things have definitely gone down hill.

I think Chad will be my new favorite player, afterall I have his picture and autograph. The choice is a little obvious but I'm okay with it. My previous favorite was Kevin Kaesviharn. I still like him but it's not likely he'll play much this year since Madieu Williams is back.

The real test will be if I can keep the flame going while I am forced to watch football alone in London. If you have a few minutes, check out the Premier League website and weigh in on which team I should root for. Keep in mind my criteria: a good name, good uniforms and reasonably good players ;)
