Today's comment of the day came from Lleyton. This evening was the first time in over a year that I have been legitimately excited about being a Bengals fan. Carson Palmer had just led a 4th quarter drive in the waining seconds to elevate the Bengals past my least favorite team in sports, the Steelers, and I was standing in front of the TV with my arms outstretched in the air as if I had been on the receiving end of Carson's strike to Andre Caldwell to win the game. At that very moment, without prompting, Lleyton began to chant "Bengals football, I no care! Bengals football, I no care! Bengals football, I no care!".
This outburst came from the child that was welcomed into America on that frigid January afternoon in 2008 wearing a Carson Palmer jersey.

I was, and still am, speechless.
