Blackout looms: Are the Bengals crying wolf again?

By Ken Paxson | Thursday, November 5, 2009, 10:50 AM

Are the Bengals crying wolf again?

Once again the team is saying it is thousands of tickets short of a sellout for a home game — 3,000 to be exact for Sunday’s game against Baltimore at Paul Brown Stadium.

Will fans step up and sell it out in time for the game to be broadcast on TV? I’m sure some will, but put your money on a combination of factors to come together to sell the game out.

Last time it was Motorola and Chad Ochocinco buying up the remaining tickets and giving them away for free.

Or perhaps the Bengals will actually be blacked out for the first time since Nov. 9, 2003, ending their streak of 48 consecutive sellouts.

On Thursday, the Bengals secured a 24-hour extension — until 1 p.m. Friday — to try and sell the game out.

We should know sometime Friday afternoon whether you’ll be able to tune in Sunday … or not.
