GoBus Storms Into Cincinnati Casino Construction Collapse Press Conference (and hits WCPO’s live truck)

Cincinnati: Where news conferences get moved because the bus driver still has a job to do
I kinda love that bus driver. She didn’t care what happened and who was in her way, she was going to get her passengers dropped off at their designated stop, and she wouldn’t let a stupid WCPO truck or a press conference about injured construction workers get in her way.

Cincinnati, the slippery nipple of travel problems.
As we Cincinnatians know, there is only one appropriate response for any threat of winter weather.
Run to Kroger and but all the milk and bread!
Syphilis: A major Cincinnati export
It seems that Dayton is worried that the recent syphilis pandemic in Cincinnati will soon spread up I-75. Obviously this outbreak was caused by the closing of Cadillac Ranch. With that den of douchebaggery closed, Cincinnati lost it’s only containment facility.
Although, is there really anything to do in Dayton other than go to the airport?

In case you missed it, there was a landlord who put a “Whites Only” sign up for the apartment complexes pool. The landlord claimed she put it up because the chemicals that an African American girl used in her hair would make the pool cloudy. And we all know it is easier to discriminate based on skin color than to clean a pool every now and then.
The sign was apparently an antique-
Hein told the commission she received the sign from a friend, and Ronnell Tomlinson, the commission’s housing enforcement director, said at Thursday’s hearing it was an antique. The sign says “Selma, Ala.,” at the bottom, followed by the date “14 July 31.”
Did the landlord not think that a sign from 1931 Alabama wouldn’t be the best representation of racial sensitivity?
I thought humans were past things of this nature….
SMMFH!

There’s No Crying In Basketball: Bearcat Breaks Down After Brawl, Prosecutor Mulls Possible Charges
Many people have Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde moments in their lifetime, but unlike most of us, Yancy Gates had the misfortune of his being televised. Watching the Cincinnati forward cry during a moment of sorrow, self pity and shame on Monday after seeing the same young man throw punches in a fit of rage on Saturday was sad, yet satisfying.
Suspended six games for throwing (and landing) multiple punches in a brawl between Cincinnati and Xavier’s basketball teams on Saturday, the senior appeared genuinely remorseful for his actions as he broke down in tears while explaining that the violence he displayed isn’t a reflection of who he is as a person.
Surely a few of those tear were shed because he got in trouble. The disappointment of a coach or loved one is often a stronger source of sadness than actual regret. Regardless, Yates seemed truly sorry. Watching the Cincinnati press conference, I couldn’t help but think how lucky those young men were that this fight occurred in a controlled environment and not in public where the justice system in action makes any NCAA punishment look like a walk in the park [insert joke here].
Just as a sense of relief came over me, since I believe the Bearcat players really have indeed learned from this - as head coach Mike Cronin alone is making these young men pay for their misbehavior - I read a headline that these players might not be able to hide behind the hardwood after all.
Hamilton, OH prosecutor Joe Deters released a statement saying his office is considering filing criminal charges if the situation warrants it.
Uh-oh.
I have always wondered why law enforcement tolerates criminal behavior within the confines of an arena or stadium. Surely there are several reasons, none of which we will delve into now, but it is a fascinating societal loophole nonetheless.
The ice rink is one of the only sports venues that has not been granted legal immunity as a few NHL players have been charged with assault after incidences during in-game incidences.
On one hand, I’m hoping the prosecutor’s office is bluffing because I would hate to see these kids get in serious, legal trouble as a result of Saturday’s brawl. On the other hand, if the fight occurred inside a nightclub, or on a street corner somewhere, between men whose names didn’t appear on the backs of jerseys seen on my television screen, I doubt that I, or anyone else would have the same sense of compassion.
Note: Cincinnati and Xavier each suspended 4 players stemming from the brawl that took place with 9.4 seconds left in Xavier’s 76-53 victory. The length of the suspensions varies from one to six games. More disturbing than the physical violence, in a way, were the comments made by Xavier guard Tu Holloway after the game : http://larrybrownsports.com/college-basketball/tu-holloway-xavier-cincinnati-fight-bunch-of-gangsters/103823
