Dallas Mavericks rookie point guard Shane Larkin, son of baseball Hall of Fame shortstop Barry Larkin, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. So, it would make sense that he’d have attention turned to the AFC Wildcard game Sunday afternoon between the Cincinnati Bengals and the San Diego Chargers prior to his Sunday night game against the New York Knicks.
Unfortunately, the outcome was not as he had hoped. Cincinnati, often lampooned as the Bungles after years of inventing ways to lose games, lost 10-27.
I’m starring to think my bengals are allergic to playoff victories.

The game got away from Cincinnati as they committed three second-half turnovers—including a fumble and two interceptions.
Considering that the Bengals haven’t won a playoff game in 24 years—before Larkin was even born, it makes sense that he’d be so disappointed. Unfortunately, he will have to wait another year in hopes of a postseason victory.
Hopefully, Larkin’s Mavericks can perform better tonight than his favorite NFL football team did earlier today.
