Tying up loose ends for Friday

by Josh Kirkendall on Apr 18, 2008 12:59 PM EDT in Chad Johnson Campaign

We first wanted to point out that on April 23, 2008, this web site will go through a massive change which includes -- though not limited to -- graphical redesign, network-wide memberships, a better commenting system and a revolutionary shift from what you know of as "diaries". Go to our intra-city sports brothers, Red Reporter to get an idea how it will appear. In fact, if you're a general Cincinnati sports fan (Reds and Bengals specifically), go there anyway and praise the play of youngsters Jeff Keppinger, Johnny Cueto, Joey Votto, Mike Lincoln, Jared Burton, Edinson Volquez and the additions of Francisco Cordero and Jeremy Affeldt while Ken Griffey Jr. works towards 600.

Moving on with obligatory Chad Johnson reference.

Both Paul Daughterty and Chick Ludwig take Chad Johnson to task. Check out the comment where one reader asks Ludwig -- someone that's paid to cover that team daily -- why he won't butt out of the team's business. I'm not sure if that's just to defend Chad or a startling lack of intelligence. Either wouldn't surprise me.

Chicago Sports' David Haugh thinks it would be a bad idea if the Bears went after Ocho ______ (fill in whatever works best for you).

Moving on with SB Nation Mock Draft reference.

On Thursday, Mocking the Draft published my part of our second round pick, Pat Sims. That gives us Keith Rivers and Sims this year.

Won't somebody

rid us of this meddlesome wide receiver? Heard some unsubstantiated talk of a Chad for Jared Allen trade with KC but it seems that KC is entitled to two first round picks for Allen- or is that should someone else sign him rather than a trade? Started wondering if the franchised Chief, who's apparently visiting the Vikings and Bucs on his own dime as of late, isn't just as much of a malcontent as Chad. Still, remembering how he played against us- against Levi in particular, I wouldn't mind seeing him in stripes.

I'll go with Ocho Finko and I suppose Rivers and Sims wouldn't be so bad if we can't have Ellis. Good going. Can we please have Chris Johnson at #77? I'll take care of him and feed him and take him for walks...

oops

should have checked the SB board before requesting Johnson(Denver). Oh, and Minnesota went with Reggie Smith at 47...

Re: Red reporter

A great site, but the masses have a man crush on EdE.....and if you say anything.....and I mean anything bad about him.....they block you from the site. Thankfully, your site is much more impartial.

Appreciate it.....
