I’ve been trying to register for classes at Columbus State all morning. This doesn’t look good.
Can I just call Brutus*?
* Brutus was the automated telephone class registration system at Ohio State in the late 90s.**
** Yes, I’m that old.***
*** 30’s the new 20, right?

Forbes: The World’s Most Valueable Sports Franchises
Two things about this…
1st.) It’s very cool to know that my Cincinnati Bengals (yes, they’re mine) are the 28th most valuable franchise in all the world. They’re more valuable than the Red Sox, Cubs, Dodgers, Lakers, Knicks and the defending World Champion New Orleans Saints.
This likely says more about the NFL’s sheer dominance in popularity. 24 of the top 30 franchises are NFL teams.
2nd.) This is also why Bengal fans hate the owner, Mike Brown, so much. The franchise that his father, Paul Brown, started back in 1968 is now worth 953 million dollars, and made 222 million dollars in revenue last year. Yet, despite all that, the Bengals continue to be one of the cheapest organizations year after year. They low-ball their players with lackluster contracts; they’ve got the fewest scouts in all the league by far; they’re never a major player in free agency; and they’re one of the only franchises that don’t have an indoor practice facility for those -3 degree December days here in Cincinnati. Brown has also awarded himself with a 1 million dollar annual bonus every year since taking over ownership of the team — even during those years where the Bengals would only win between 2-5 of their 16 games.
The only silver lining we Bengal fans have had is that Mike would one day die. Sounds bad, but that’s the only way change would happen. However, we don’t even have that anymore. Mike’s daughter, Katie, is the heir, and if HBO’s Hard Knocks taught us anything, it’s that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
WHO-DEY!

Justin Bieber to appear on ‘CSI’

Justin Bieber is about to take a down-and-dirty trip into the criminal underworld. Or at least the TV version of that underworld.

CBS has confirmed that the 16-year-old “Baby” singer will make his acting debut on the season premiere of its crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

For the record, I stopped watching CSI as a direct response to last season’s Rascal Flatts episode. This latest news confirms I made the right decision.
