  1. Thanks. What is the possible dirt on Cranley? Cranley frequently inserts himself into negotiations for development deals, in which he is not supposed to play any role. Remember that the CEO of our city is the City Manager. In our current system of government, the Mayor is not much more than a figure head with a few clearly defined powers, such as nominating or appointing members to various boards, introducing or vetoing legislation, etc. The City Manager was getting frustrated with the Mayor going around his back and making deals, and that's why the battle between the City Manager and the Mayor broke out. OK that makes sense.

  3. Thanks. Not a lawyer so why to payout? Just fire him. The article mentioned something about Cranley doing something that could have violated city laws or something. Did not follow this closely.
  4. Who has the authority to hire/fire a city manager?
  5. Impressive considering how much traffic used to go out of the "C" terminal which does not exist anymore.

    Really good book on what happened. https://www.amazon.com/102-Minutes-Unforgettable-Survive-Inside/dp/0805094210 102 Minutes: The Unforgettable Story of the Fight to Survive Inside the Twin Towers Only 4 people, from above the impact zone in the South tower, made it out alive. No one escaped above the impact point in the North Tower. There is some detail about communication problems with police, fire and one helicopter that was above the towers.... the pilot was convinced that the towers were going to collapse. But didn't have a way to communicate with the NYFD, not that the firemen would have believed him anyway.
  7. There is 1 house on Jerome St. in Mt. Adams, not hidden though.
  8. Wonder how many streets have only 1 house. Not talking about a quick on a commercial street, where someone did not sell and kept their house residential.
  9. TD, 21 all.
  10. Steelers own the Browns, and semi own the Bengals. Come on Browns get the ball back.
  11. OSU probable playoff team. Dominant roster.
  12. Top of RIO, see the stairs up there that is an outdoor bar/club. Great place to get a drink and check out the view.
  13. Best slot receiver I ever saw at UC. That is pretty cool. Pretty young to be Head Coach, congrats to him.
  14. LOL. He fumbles too often and has had a couple of WTF interceptions. He is OK with decent oline play. Over the past 25 years ranking QBs at UC he would fall in the middle somewhere. I liked what I saw with Ridder.
  15. That was completely ridiculous. Every time UCLA did something stupid, the announcers were like "this is the sheer genius of Chip Kelly" Could it be that the shine and luster of Chip Kelly may have worn off, or other coaches have caught up to his style after being out of the college game for 5 years now. It was a bit nauseating hearing the announcers completely sniff Kelly's jock the entire game. Chalk it up to one game. He doesn't have the QB, at the moment, to run his offense. Robinson was recruited to be that guy though. He is young. For Robinson and Ridder (UC) it was their first time playing in a college game. Funny how recruiting goes, Robinson had 31 offers, Ridder had 1.
  16. Ram, I wonder what happened with Kiel? He was suspended from the team during bowl prep for the Hawaii Bowl. Rejoined the team for the next season and was not the starter. Played well his last season when he did play. He was not even an undrafted free agent. Rumor mill was possible addiction to pain medication because he took a beating his 2nd year as a starter.
  17. Happy to see not only a road win, but west coast PAC 12. Never an easy W. No idea what UCLA will look like the remainder of the season. UC ran the ball downhill pretty well and redshirt Freshman QB played well. 2 interior D tackles led the team in tackles, Copeland and Broughton. Rare, usually LBs or Safety. Oline looked light years better than the last 2 seasons.
  18. Nope, team is playing well. Big fan of Hue Jackson.

    I can loan you my CIB if that helps.
  20. Yeah almost impossible to pull off. FWIW The Bengals have blown 2 games when leading at half 28-7 under Marvin, 2006 to San Diego and 2010 to Buffalo. In both game the opposition scored 42 second half points.
  21. Stunning comeback victory. I thought that game was over for sure. Down 24-7. :clap:
  22. I saw this proposed maybe 20 years ago. Great idea, hope it happens.
  23. Wow St. Patricks is stunning, only topped by Dominican girls during their parade in NYC :)
  24. 2005 Defense was not that good. They made plays from time to time though. Forest Greg's super bowl team was very good all the way around. That ran into some bad luck in the super bowl. They were better than the Niner's. The 88' team was interesting. Boomer was pretty good that year, but the Bengals has 8 games rushing the ball for over 200 yards, that is pretty amazing in the NFL. Season ended like it started, goal line stand to keep the Cardinals out of the end zone for a W. Last game Barney Bussey either forced a fumble or blocked a FG in OT as the Bengals beat the Redskins 20-17. Skins should have won that game and sent Bengals to Buffalo if they won their first playoff game. 88' defense was outstanding in the playoff. Bengals also had some really good teams in the 70's. Wyche said in 88', win all home games and go .500 on the road, and that is what they did.
