The first foul was obvious. The second looked like he went over to pat Brown on the shoulder and the Steeler coach pushed him.

UK bball and football are the only sports I allow myself to become emotionally invested in...and that's why. Unlike bbdk, I feel bad for the cinci crew. Found myself liking the Bengals while living in N KY for 3 years...but never got emotionally attached, for good reason.

They're both Midwestern backwaters.

One is a major league town that was once the largest city in "the West," and one is a minor league town which makes sense because Lousiville has about half of the metro population, three Fortune 500 companies compared to Cinti's ten, and its median income is about 10% less.

There's not much to debate.

Dude, some of us are die hard Bengal fans. It's torturous enough.

If it helps I was referring to the white trash fans in the stands(along with Chumps and crazyqx) at the Stadium. Had Cincy advanced I would have been rooting for them.

I'm only a casual NFL watcher but someone explain to me:

1) How the Bengals' DB hit on the Steeler WR in the 3rd quarter was a penalty, when he led with his shoulder and the receiver was not defenseless;

2) Why the Steeler DB's hit on Bernard was legal when he led with his helmet; and

3) MOST OF ALL, WHY JIM NANTZ IS BEING SUCH A STEELER HOMER *****, JUSTIFYING BAD CALLS ON 1 AND 2 ABOVE, AND THEN WHINING ENDLESSLY ABOUT BURFICT'S SACK OF ROETHLISBERGER, WHEN EVERYONE AGREES CONCLUSIVELY THAT IT WAS A LEGAL HIT.

I was rooting for the Bengals anyway, but Nantz's holier-than-thou / *****-*** act has sent me over the edge. Go Bengals - this would be a huge win for them especially the way it has played out tonight.

It's like he can't get out of his own way sometimes. He is unnaturally smooth handling the nuts and bolts of calling a game and the entrances, exits, and transitions of that (why CBS elevated him to head honcho at age 31), but the preening, sanctimonious Nantz inevitably surfaces.

He's always kind of fascinated me in the sense that he seems like an artificial robot sportscaster or something, and I've never been able to figure out whether his saccharine infatuation with the Masters is all him or whether he's just playing to the Augusta National choir. I know that he's close with George HW Bush and remember reading an interview with him several years ago in which he intimated that he wanted to run for public office someday, so I've always kind of been waiting on him to announce he's running for US Senate out of nowhere.

Tonight reminded me of his adulation for North Carolina and Duke and "the way things should be done" and so forth--reminded me of the Magloire/Wojo moment, even though that was more Billy Packer. The Steelers are the establishment team that CBS covers in its feature game 4-5 times a year, and the Bengals are the renegade upstarts upsetting the order of things. And Roethlisberger being the darling...he has amazingly shed his issues from a few years ago.

/time to end my mediation on Jim Nantz

If UK had just lost in the same way the Bengal did, towns would be ablaze.

No kidding. If UK lost an NCAA Tournament game that we were winning because of two technical fouls in the last minute...I would probably murder someone.

Not a Bengals fan, my dad and brother are...hate it for them. Dad is a Cincy basketball fan and wants a UC v. Bengals throwdown.
