The Nati



On Wednesday, ESPN commentator Colin Cowherd went off on the city of Cincinnati calling it "boring", full of "bottom feeders" and "classless".

One part of me says the Cincinnati should just ignore his comments rather than "protest too much". And another part of me says he's right in some respects.

Every city in America has it's share of bottom feeders and losers and Cincinnati is no exception. Just spend the afternoon at a Reds game or Kings Island and you'll get your fill. But to claim that an entire city qualifies is an exaggeration.

Part of Cowherd's skit was coming up with new slogans for the city, most of which were not at all complementary. I've come up with some of my own slogans, some good and some not so good, but mostly true:

Cincinnati: What high school did you go to?
Cincinnati: It's pretty here in the fall.
Cincinnati: We love to litter!
Cincinnati: The home of an amazing number of great restaurants for a city our size.
Cincinnati: Where the weather sucks most of the time.
Cincinnati: Our suburbs are thriving.
Cincinnati: There's kind of a lot to do.
Cincinnati: Home to a lot of good schools.
Cincinnati: Where men are men, but dress like women.
Cincinnati: I was born here, so I'm stayin.
