Um…sponges? Not to get down on the Bengals sponsor…but, sponges?  Just seems a little strange, but extra revenue is extra revenue, right?  As you may remember, I mentioned previously that the Bengals were the best team to sponsor, due to the extra free exposure you could get for their appearance on HBO’s Hard Knocks.

Hopefully, this deal was signed soon enough to get SpongeTech the free exposure that would come from the Hard Knocks program.  I put in a request with Sponge Tech for more details on the deal, and the post will be updated if i receive extra information.
