The Cinnamon Challenge

Videos are popping up around the net of people attempting the Cinnamon Challenge.

Cincy Girls’ Locker Room Brawl Posted Online

Cat FightA video of one girl beating down another in the girls’ locker room of Norwood Middle School in Cincinnati was posted on YouTube three weeks ago according to WLWT in this report published Monday.

Bengals 18th Most-Favorite Team, Browns 13th

Growl.The Cincinnati Bengals are the 18th most-favorite team in the NFL of adults who watch professional football according to a report by HarrisInteractive.

The Bengals, who in 2005 ranked as low as 30 out of 32 teams, have jumped 12 spots in two years — most likely due to the so-called success the team has had in recent years.

The Cleveland Browns, despite a general belief that they have one of the largest fan bases in the NFL, are only the 13th most-favorite team in football. As recently as 2004, they ranked 24th.

The five most popular teams in the NFL?
