I hate the Steelers. Welcome to Steeler Nation.
This was at one of the 5 Walmarts near my house.
I don't even know what to say about this.

Cincinnati sports fans explained
Ok, so today was the trading deadline in Major League Baseball and the first day of training camp for the NFL.
The trade deadline is a big second-half-of-the-season landmark. This is the day where contenders go out and get what position they are in need of most for their playoff push, and pretenders ship off their only good player in exchange for some hyped minor league prospects. At this point in the season the Reds are somewhere in the middle. We aren't a contender (mostly because this last month we sucked hard), but we definitely aren't a pretender either. We have a good starting rotation, a solid bullpen, and some great young players, a few of which are hurt. O yeah, not to mention today the Reds shipped off Edwin Encarnacion and some prospects for Scott Rolen. Yeah, that guy who has 7 GOLD GLOVES!
Sidenote: For those of you that don't know about my intense passion for the Reds, Edwin Encarnacion has been the player I have loathed the most in my whole life. And to put this in perspective, Barry Larkin almost ran me over with his pink Porsche on my 9th birthday, and I hate Encarnacion more. At least Barry Larkin could play the field. And he was smooth when he did. Edwin is gone, a serious hatred has just left me and I feel refreshed.
Anyways, the Reds season is winding down, and it isn't really looking too good for the post season. But, fancy that, the Bengals just started training camp today.
Just like years passed, the Bengals are getting some hype. We have the potential to be really good this year. Everyone is healthy (it's only been one day, but last year two guys went down), and we could make some noise and rattle some feathers. Have we done that for the past 6 seasons since we've had the dynamic duo of Carson Palmer and Chad Johnson/Ochocinco? No, the one good season ended with a ceremonial dropkick to the gonads - Carson Palmer goes down in the first round of the playoffs, against the Steelers of all teams, with a mangled leg.
The moral of this story Cincinnati Sports fans, is we always have the potential, year in and year out, we just haven't done anything with it for a while. The Reds last made it to the playoffs when we tied the Mets for the Wild Card in 2001, but lost the one game playoff. Hardly counts. And I already mentioned the Carson Palmer fiasco 4 years back. We're a next year kinda town. The preseason's the best season because we don't have any other teams showing us that good on paper doesn't necessarily translate to good on the field.
The only team that we can rely on to take us to the post season each year, and play better each time, is, drum roll please, the Xavier University Musketeers men's basketball team. Let's go X!

Just like momma makes it.
My entire life I’ve been skin and bones. In fact I don’t think I hit triple digits on the scale until I was a sophomore in high-school. Back then I could eat anything and everything and still almost look starved. Now, only 5 years removed from high-school, I’ve had to start thinking about what I eat and drink. If you know me personally you know I’m by no means a health freak. My diet consists of food that I think tastes good, not food that I think is good for me. I drink way too many sugar laced drinks like Mountain Dew, Monster Energy drinks, and an obscene amount of Arizona’s since I don’t drink coffee. I know it seems unlikely but I actually love fresh fruit juice. My mom bought one of those QVC juicers a while back, and every time I stopped home for a visit I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door with "Do you want some juice?” I never thought in a million years I would miss having a QVC product in the house. I moved to Atlanta from home (Cincinnati) a year ago, and since then to get my juice fix in the afternoons I’ve been buying those gallon bottles of Kroger brand juice. Its just not the same. No where close. You can tell it’s not fresh, and just not pure.
Recently I’ve been skipping out on the processed juice and going to the little fridge area in the produce section and trying different options on the ‘organic’ juice shelf. I’ve tried all the Odwalla brand juices, and other brands that tasted more soupy than juice should. The most recent brand I’ve tried is by far the closest to what mom used to give me every time I walked through the door. It’s a small juice company local to Atlanta called Arden’s Garden. Sorry everybody reading this outside of Hotlanta, but you don’t know what you’re missing. Arden’s Garden is a locally run juicer that not only has 4 of its own stores, but you can find the products at most Krogers’, Publix, and Whole Foods stores in the metro Atlanta area. They have all kinds of flavors, juices from fruits you’ve probably never thought about drinking before, (like orange, apple, mango juice) and combinations that will rock your world. I actually told my mom about this the other day, and she was a little smug. She said she’d have to try it before she could say it was as good as hers. But my mom, being a nurse, was glad to see I was getting my vitamins since she quit giving me Flintstones Vitamins when I was a kid. All in all, I’ve found a new drink to get every time I pop into Kroger for something I need for dinner.
