• So there's plenty of buzz about this exchange between Marvin Lewis and Enquirer reporter Dustin Dow from today's news conference. The Lot D's C. Trent has the whole back-and-forth on his blog. The only problem I have is when Cincinnati.Com sends out a breaking news alert with a link to their story (there's not really anything in it, by the way, that's not included in the C. Trent post, so don't feel like you have to click on it to give them another page view). I can see posting something on a blog - because the exchange certainly is newsworthy and people will be interested to read it. But sending a breaking news e-mail about it to me makes it reek of reporter becoming part of story or trying to generate news (page views) and draw attention, which is tacky and something journalists should refrain from doing. It's tough to blame Dow, because I don't think it was wrong of him to engage Lewis the way he did. And it wasn't his call to send a breaking news e-mail about it. That's the person whose judgement I question.
• Here's a Cleveland.com scouting report on the Bengals in advance of Sunday's showdown. The Browns are 3-point favorites by the way.
• And in case you missed it, Shaun Rogers, that nose tackle who Browns GM Phil Savage stole from the Bengals back in March made the Pro Bowl. And Eric Steinbach's an alternate.
• Bucs defensive end Greg White has followed Chad's lead and changed his name. And if you're a fan of "Teen Wolf," you'll definitely appreciate it.
• Yahoo! Sports' Ball Don't Lie did a one-on-one with former North College Hill star O.J. Mayo.
• I saw this blog post on With Leather about Ohio State guard Mark Titus' blog, Club Trillion. I didn't get to spend too much time on it, but it does appear to be good stuff ... he's a pretty funny guy.
• Non-local link of interest: Did you hear what Tiger Woods' caddy said about Phil Mickelson? Wow. I'd be stunned if he doesn't get fired over it, especially because he's not apologizing.
