Sometimes, life gets in the way of fun. Life today is a Christmas party at 2 p.m. So, try to enjoy the game. I know, it will be tough. Columnist Patrick McManamon has had in-game thoughts the last two weeks. Perhaps he'll do that again today. I'm not certain. If he doesn't, you can always follow along at Dawgs by Nature.

Prediction: Cleveland 9, Cincinnati 7
All Phil Dawson all the time. He'll probably be the punter today with Dave Zastudil injured.

The real loser: The fans.

Dropped catches by Braylon Edwards: My man is disappointing me. As far as I could tell, he hasn't dropped a pass in three whole weeks! In the cold today, he'll get back on it with two drops.

Passes thrown to Martin Rucker (with Steve Heiden and Kellen Winslow out): One!

Fan reaction after the game: The guy who drives around his sofa in the Muni lot will have it set ablaze like it's May Day.

*Note to blog graphics czar Kiel: I still expect a new Romeo Crennel graphic in my inbox this evening.
