BREAKING NEWS: Troy Blackburn Tells Local Children "You Can Swim in Your Tears"
WhoDeyRevolution has learned from unnamed inside sources that members of the Indian Hill Swim & Tennis Club are irate at Cincinnati Bengals Vice President Troy Blackburn's handling of the Club's offseason renovations. Blackburn, the Vice President of the Swim & Tennis Club, (the identical position he holds with the Bengals), was responsible for overseeing the club's construction and expansion. The club, previously scheduled to open on Memorial Day weekend, is now slated to open June 14th.
Blackburn's botching of the renovations has put the club's swimming and diving team in a tough spot, with their first meet coming up on June 12th. Hard to compete without a pool to practice in. But practice facilities have never been important to the Blackburns, have they? If Troy can't manage a swim club how can we expect him to run a professional sports franchise?
Club members, who spoke to WDR on the condition of anonymity, are worried that the club will have to push back its open date again. The first home swim meet of the year is on June 16th - will the swim club be open in time or will Troy Blackburn contribute to not only likely ruining these kids Fall (with the impending 5-11 season) but their Summer as well?

I love the title, but actually I think "Blackburn Adds Summer to Seasons He Plans to Ruin" is pretty good, too. Other acceptable titles:

Is there any position you'd trust a Brown family member to run? Maybe the kitchen at the Indian Hill Swim Club? Not sure he could handle the pressures of the short order cook...

Brown Family to Children: Buy your own pool you free riders.
Kids Respond: Can we have the Hamilton County Taxpayers pay for it?
Mike Brown: OF COURSE.

Troy Blackburn is one of the most intelligent and sincere individuals that I have ever had the opportunity to meet and I think it is ridiculous that you will make comments about someone you don't even know. He truly is a wonderful person that puts family and friends as his first priority. I hope you get the opportunity to meet him one day.

"He... puts family and friends as his first priority."
Well his first priority certainly isn't running a good football team.
