AJ Green: The masses are still agog over this sick catch by Green late in the 4th quarter against LSU. The knee-jerk reaction is laughable: “A.J. Green is the greatest Bulldog since Herschel. He’s better than David Pollack, better than Garrison Hearst and Eric Zeier, better than Champ Bailey. More than simply the best receiver [...]

No, you may not choose the under for each hypothesis just because you're feeling down like that. Saturday will be here before you know it so without further delay or unnecessary explanation, I ask you, over or under? 1) Joe Cox will complete 59.9% of his passes. 2) Stephen Garcia will throw for 239.9 yards. 3) Aron White will have 2.9 receptions. 4) Aron White will have 49.9 yards receiving. 5) Caleb...

Whenever former Bulldog great David Pollack returns to the Classic City, you can be sure of one thing: he's got something to say and he wants you to hear it.

When the preseason marches towards a welcomed conclusion, discussion and debate takes place on who the team cuts and keeps. Sometimes the topic goes into salary cap causalities; veterans that are cut, like Willie Anderson and Rudi Johnson last year. Other times, the debate talks about players that surprisingly make the roster. As jsl413 broke down, the Bengals depth is strong in some areas , weak in...

David Pollack : "We can argue about whether Scala is syntactically simpler than Java. I find that my code - I did two years of Ruby On Rails work before I did Scala and I've done Java work since 1996 - I find that Scala is as concise as Ruby. I also find that Scala's type system doesn't often get in my way. Where I have to declare types in Scala is where I should document types in Ruby, and I...

Click for larger image This little discovery is... Well, it's disappointing is what it is. I was perusing around the NFL's online pro shop , seeing if -- God forbid -- the had any of these monstrosities for the Cincinnati Bengals . Fortunately, that answer is no, but that's about the only good news I saw while I was looking at the Bengals apparel inventory -- especially when I started looking at the...

The Bengals left Georgetown College on Tuesday without Andre Smith signed. Wednesdaywill mark Day 20 that Smith has unsigned, equaling David Pollack's 2005 absence.

There was a point in time when many of us believed the duo of Odell Thurman and David Pollack would be the start of a fantastic defensive foundation. Thurman finished the season ranked high among finalists for defensive player of the year that eventually went to Shawne Merriman. Thurman was that guy Marvin Lewis had sought all along to man the middle linebacker spot; a defensive leader for many seasons....

The best part of OSCON for me wasn't actually part of OSCON. The guys at Twitter put together a Cassandra hackfest on Wednesday night, with much awesomeness resulting. Thanks to Evan for organizing! Stu Hood flew up from Rackspace's Virginia offices just for the night, which normally probably wouldn't have been worth it, but Cliff Moon , author of dynomite , showed up (thanks, Cliff!) and was able...

In response to Kirk's '05 Draft Entry from the other day I thought I'd post some thoughts I had on the subject in case anyone cares. Feel free to call me an idiot if you so choose... I did a Bengals Draft Analysis prior to the '09 Draft (I will also post) and upon doing that decided to go back and grade all players picked by all 32 teams during the first two rounds of 2005. I graded each player individually...

Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole writes that "only three first-round picks from the 2005 NFL draft have signed contract extensions with their initial franchise so far." The 2005 NFL Draft, James Walker writes, that " the top of this draft class was probably the worst of this decade. The best players turned out to be linebackers DeMarcus Ware and Shawne Merriman and neither went in the top 10."...

Opportunity doesn't always knock. In the case of Amy and David Pollack, it crashed in their front yard. Almost 10 years ago, Hurricane Floyd uprooted the enormous century-old beech tree that dominated the couple's traditional front lawn in Swarthmore. Today, that same space is a naturalistic landscape of soft lines and sweeping color, with a pond that rocks in spring with the kreek-eek, kreek-eek of...
