This is astonishing. Manafort attempted to edit a PDF document to inflate his income to qualify for a loan, but couldn’t figure out how to convert it into Word (which would allow you to make changes). Yet, in defense of Manafort, not many people do. So… f*** you Adobe! Manafort…

Interest in Major League Soccer, and soccer in general, has enjoyed steady growth in the United States. Even in Cincinnati. Yes, Cincinnati. Soccer took hold in the U.S. (among the non-soccer fanatics) when the country hosted the 1994 World Cup. The event, spread out across nine American cities, set massive attendance…
Our collective analysis and general consensus is that, and despite my efforts not to be too dramatic, Cincinnati’s rushing offense is one of their greatest embarrassments during Marvin Lewis 2.0 (aka, the Andy Dalton/A.J. Green era sporting a mostly boring offense with a reliable, sometimes game-winning defense); for reference sake,…
When Senator Jeff Sessions accepted a position in Donald Trump’s cabinet to become his Attorney General, Alabama governor Robert Bentley appointed Attorney General of Alabama Luther Strange to replace him. In the meantime, the process to elect a new senator kicked off this spring. Unfortunately, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court…
It’s difficult being a fan of the Cincinnati Bengals. When things go bad, and things usually go bad, we want retribution. Fire the coaching staff, replace the front office, and release mostly every player on the team, is our common cause. It’s a singular purpose. Fucking replace everyone, the vendors, concession…
There are interesting developments brewing in Saudi Arabia over the summer. + Saudi Arabia, joined by other Gulf countries (United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Egypt), called the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), severed diplomatic ties with Qatar for embracing “various terrorist and sectarian groups aimed at {destabilizing} the region.” The GCC demanded that Qatar…
Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley celebrated his comeback victory on Tuesday; a reelection effort was under significant threat this summer. Enter City Council member Yvette Simpson, who not only ran for mayor, but also defeated Cranley during the primary. It should be noted that Cincinnati mayoral elections are nonpartisan, only allowing…
The Marvin Lewis era is over. Well, it should be. The Cincinnati Bengals pieced together one of their worst offensive performances of the year, generating an appalling 148 yards on offense (third-worst during the Marvin Lewis era) on only 37 offensive plays (a franchise worst). The defense allowed 400 yards…
It was a horrific sequence of events. With 9:07 remaining in the fourth quarter, Andy Dalton was sacked on first down, pressured into throwing the football away on second (with a visibly frustrated A.J. Green), and sacked again on third. If more fans filled the seats at Paul Brown Stadium,…
Issue 2 is one of the more confusing, and arguably deceptive, initiatives on Ohio’s ballot this November. Various titles have called it the “Drug Price Standards Initiative”, as well as the “Ohio Drug Price Relief Act.” Cute words. Impactful as well. What exactly is it? Politifact offers a simplistic version…
