Darned NFL schedule makers

I am always envious of those who get to occasionally attend Reds or Bengals games on their birthdays. Well, I have never been that fortunate, since the Reds aren't playing on New Years and the NFL season has always been over by then in past years. Now this year, January 1 falls on a Sunday and I was getting pumped a few months ago because I knew there was a chance that the last game of the NFL season would fall on that day. Then the schedule comes out and they gave the Bengals an away game. I wonder what the odds are of talking my wife into a road trip over New Years weekend. Hmm...

I can sympathize - I had a chance to see the Bengals season opener this year on my birthday, but I also happen to share that day with one of my daughters, and Lady Zombie stuffed the idea of me heading up to Cleveland without the rest of the family. :laugh:

I'm pretty sure I can get you tickets. Lots of Chiefs season ticket holders will be looking to sell. They don't believe in the Bengals yet...

That depends on if I can talk my wife into a trip that weekend. She has friends in Manhattan, so if we go, we'd be staying with them.
