Ok, I realize this is a financial blog and Chris Henry, the suspended Bengals football player, has absolutely nothing to do with real estate, insurance, or investments… but I just couldn’t resist.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, the Cincinnati Bengals have applied to the City of Cincinnati requesting permission to shoot pigeons. Apparently these pesky birds are creating quite a mess in the stadium, even during games. The Bengals are requesting permission to shoot the birds to remedy the problem.

One can’t help but think this is amusing given the fact that the Bengals’ players have some legal problems off the field, notably for weapons charges (that would be you Chris Henry!!!) I guess this will give Chris something to do during his eight game suspension… hey, he needs to make a living too ya know!

May I also suggest to the Bengals that they have Deltha O’Neal and Odell Thurman serving up beer in the stadium’s concession stand while they serve their suspensions?!

Here’s an excellent story on ESPN.com citing the problems with the Cincinnati Bengals and also pokes fun of this town in general! I think it’s rather humorous and I even live here so it’s healthy to laugh at ones self every now and then. Enjoy!

The only thing fitting that I simply have to add to the ESPN article is a quote by Mark Twain: When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati. Because Cincinnati is always 20 years behind the times.

As always, I welcome your comments and feedback…
