December 19, 200618 yr This almost slipped my mind. I met a few people that were from out of town that were staying in one of the hotels downtown. This was recently when the Raiders were playing in Cincy. They were definitely "Big T" ... straight up outta Alabama, "Big T" ... I asked them where they were from and they answered -"Detroit". I thought it was a little comical at the moment ;) ... I guess living in Detroit, you would need to find another city's football team to represent you.
December 24, 200618 yr Carson has been playing bad the past couple of weeks. I hope he's not lying about his shoulder. We can clinch a playoff birth if we win this game. We are up 7.
December 25, 200618 yr That sucked. I'm afraid that my nightmare of the Steelers ending our season is going to come true next week.
December 25, 200618 yr I feel like I want to cry after a game like that...everything that could go wrong....did!!! Just missed plays, bad end of questionable calls, a few bad decisions/plays....all in all we still have a decent shot at the playoffs, but it would appear as though we would face Indy in the first round at Indy.....should we make it :oops:
December 25, 200618 yr They need the Jets to lose tonight and we must beat Pittsburgh next week in order to make the playoff's. I didn't think we serve to be in the play off's we lost too many games this year we should have won injuries or not.
December 26, 200618 yr Uh...why on earth is a LIONS trying to be an ass in a BENGALS thread? Is Toledo THAT bad that you have to go out of your way to "diss" a team not even in Detroit's division!?!? "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
December 26, 200618 yr He's just jealous that Toledo has no major sports teams. Oh wait, there is the...Mudhens. :roll:
December 26, 200618 yr No, I just hate the Bengals. How many ex-cons are on there again? A fan of NO NFL team should be talking about "ex-cons." "You don't just walk into a bar and mix it up by calling a girl fat" - buildingcincinnati speaking about new forumers
December 27, 200618 yr No, I just hate the Bengals. How many ex-cons are on there again? Ex-cons? Umm...zero. If you're attempting to make a joke, at least try to be accurate.
December 27, 200618 yr Yeah...Toledo and the Lions are both great from what I hear.... This season is clearly a disappointment, but the team did not perform when they had to so I expect they would not have done well in the playoffs. It still would have been nice to have the chance. Buried in this are the loss of key starters such as Braham, Jones, Pollack, and Thurman (although Thurman screwed himself). I knew that damn loss against Tampa Bay would come back to haunt the team. And although his arm strength is there, Palmer seemed to struggle with accuracy all year - I think partially because of the revolving door offensive line not providing the same protection and partially due to mechanics causing a lot of overthrows. Hopefully they can get healthy during the off-season and get a couple of impact defensive players.
December 27, 200618 yr No, I just hate the Bengals. How many ex-cons are on there again? Are you saying this because you think there aren't other players in the NFL that haven't been arrested that are on other teams, or do you just not know? I would guess the latter. ... and why on earth would you be a Lions fan?!?! They are a high school team that happens to play in the NFL. One last question, why do you "hate" the Bengals?
December 27, 200618 yr No, I just hate the Bengals. How many ex-cons are on there again? con means a felon right? No ones been convicted of any felons. I can think of some drug dealer from Atlanta who's been convicted, ohh wait that Baltimore opps i mean both? If you ever got a speed ticket that would make you an ex con too right?
December 27, 200618 yr No, I just hate the Bengals. How many ex-cons are on there again? Traffic violations = ex-cons....hmmm. Do me a favor and don't be fooled by the media, O'neal was barely over the limit....one guy was drinking while boating (who doesn't drink while boating)...Henry was aquited of one of his charges....Thurman has been removed from the team. I don't know why this whole situation is being made to be what it is. Things like this happen, the Bengals are simply the beating horse of the NFL for this right now. Need I remind you that Ray Lewis got away with MURDER!!!!! Why has that been forgotten?!?!? One last question, why do you "hate" the Bengals? Oh don't worry, he has a hate for all things Cincinnati...without any real justification (bad family vacation/trip or something). So as a result he goes out of his way to trash anything Cincinnati without actually caring about the facts behind it. :|
December 28, 200618 yr here's the NFL arrests list. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/nfl/longterm/2006/nfl_chart_12162006.html I remember a few years ago, someone got busted for a HUGE amount of pot in their trunks...Was it Bam Morris?

December 29, 200618 yr I remember a few years ago, someone got busted for a HUGE amount of pot in their trunks...Was it Bam Morris? Yep.

Five weeks later, he was caught with 175 lb of marijuana on Interstate 45. He was sentenced to 30 months in federal prison, and has since then gone straight, renouncing his past and turning his life around. He is now a member of the North Dallas Community of God.

December 31, 200618 yr hoooo boy. :-o and coming in ahead of #4 maurice clarett -- the #1 poor sportsman of the year winner is... :laugh: 1. The Cincinnati Bengals Teamwork is as important off the field as it is on the field. When a team is acting as one, then it is almost impossible to stop. And that’s why, rather than honor one individual, we’ve decided to name the Cincinnati Bengals Franchise CRACKED’s Poor Sportsman of the Year for 2006. The Bengals had an amazing 8—count ‘em, 8—players arrested this year, some of them multiple times. Impressively, they’ve had as many players arrested as they have wins this year. This is a clearly a team of destiny. Congratulations, Bengals—you are the 2006 CRACKED Poor Sportsmen of the Year. top ten here: http://www.cracked.com/index.php?name=News&sid=1425
December 31, 200618 yr Three out of the eight haven't played a down in 2006 (Askew, Rucker and Thurman); I believe Nicholson has only played a couple special teams downs; McNeal pushed an off-duty cop outside a nightclub - and we've heard only one side of that dispute; O'Neal was stupid but as observed above, not exactly crazy drunk or something - not too many years ago, he may have been legal to drive; and Steinbach violated a frickin' no-idle zone, and failed field sobriety tests. So, for seven of the eight, it seems that we're not talking about some major Bengal Character Flaw or some such nonsense. And sure, Mr. P***y, He Who Takes Not Hits? Yeah, he's a punk who won't learn how to behave, and I'd rather lose without him than win with him, for a host of reasons - but other than him, come on, we're not talking about the friggin' James Gang or something here. This "8 arrests" bulls**t is getting extremely old...our problem is a decimated O-line and decimated defensive backfield, for Christ's sake...
December 31, 200618 yr Man we need some defensive help - I am really hoping we see a lot of improvement and based on Marvin's history there should be. This team just could not get on a roll and was too inconsistent on both sides. The plus is that they will continue to fill the gaps and next season the schedule will be easier.
December 31, 200618 yr it wasnt meant to be. plain and simple. so many opportunities here and there that we screwed up. you just knew the steelers were gonna win that coin toss cuz it wasnt meant to be for the bengals. oh well, next year maybe.
January 1, 200718 yr ugh, just horrible to watch. when the house cleaning starts this off season, get rid of that grinning choke off kicker first. learn to show some shame when you totally blow the game guy -- it looked like he was laughing about it or something. i suppose it was a fitting end to a game featuring the two most disappointing teams in the nfl this season.

He didn't lose the game. It is a team effort. He didn't end the season. It was a team effort. Getting to the playoffs is a season long effort. We just didn't have it together enough games this season to deserve the playoffs. Laughing in a situation like that can be taken as disbelief. I don't think he was happy he missed. Graham did an amazing job this season. We are lucky to have him. No one is perfect, but he is pretty damn good.
January 2, 200718 yr Yeah ... Shayne Graham is the 7th best kicker in the AFC ... I think we'll be keeping him. Oh and since you know so much about what's on his mind ... do you mind asking him how his New Years went for me? I wanna know how the pro athletes party. ;)
January 3, 200718 yr Too many flukey things happened this year...housing cleaning NEEDS to occur. I've been calling for some time for Bob Bratkowski's removal...and now I think I can add Chuck Bresnahan's name to that list. For Bobo, to have that kind of talent on offense and not put up 35 or more points week in and week out is a joke!!! At some points we could barely convert first downs this year!?!?!?!? The same goes for Chucky B! I was thinking forward to the draft...who should we go after? In past years it was obvious where we were slacking (LB, CB, OL, etc)...but this year I see talent existing on both sides of the ball, the motivation is whats lacking!!! Marvin make some moves please before I lose fate in you...we are only 3 or so years displaced from the bungles, its still fresh in many people's minds!
January 9, 200718 yr Jackson joins Falcons staff Houshmandzadeh: 'Our loss is their gain' BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected] January 8, 2007 CINCINNATI - The Bengals are looking for a new wide receivers coach, and T.J. Houshmandzadeh is concerned. The team’s No. 2 receiver confirmed this afternoon that receivers coach Hue Jackson is headed to Atlanta to become Falcons offensive coordinator Bobby Petrino. Jackson told Houshmandzadeh about the job during phone conversations Friday and Saturday. Full story: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070108/SPT02/301080048
January 10, 200718 yr Pollack may play in '07 Surgery to stabilize linebacker's neck yields optimistic prognosis BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected] January 10, 2007 CINCINNATI - Linebacker David Pollack could play for the Bengals in 2007. That word came from Pollack's agent, R.J. Gonser, this week. Gonser told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that doctors have told his client that Pollack could be on the field as soon as next season. Pollack had surgery last week to stabilize his C-6 vertebra, which was fractured while he made a tackle in the Bengals' Sept. 17 game against the Cleveland Browns.

January 22, 200718 yr congrats! Joseph becomes ninth Bengal arrested in nine months Associated Press CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph was arrested early Monday and charged with possession of marijuana, the ninth Cincinnati player arrested in the last nine months. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2739009
January 23, 200718 yr ^who really cares. Their jobs are to play football, not to be role models. my job is be a consultant, not commit felonies.
January 23, 200718 yr possesion of marijuana is a fourth degree misdemanor thank you general counsel thomas. I believe the point was still made without you being a larry lawyer.
January 23, 200718 yr ^who really cares. Their jobs are to play football, not to be role models. my job is be a consultant, not commit felonies. If you commit a felony your employer would not be implicated.
January 23, 200718 yr I suspect folks see Marvin's choices for who to bring in here (Odell Thurman, say, a known head case), as coming home to roost. And I don't think it's inappropriate or self-righteous to aim that frustration at him - he made this bed over the last four years, and now he's lying in it, with suspensions and horrible publicity.
January 23, 200718 yr Well I thought this would happen. I'm not too stunned by it. Even though they aren't supposedly role models, guess what... some kids still look up to NFL players... *gasp* -_-. There has got to be some limits to what they do in public. Side Note: I think its humorous that the players were warned not to become the 9th arrest and sure enough, someone stepped to the plate. Brilliant.
January 27, 200718 yr Wonderful timing, to keep the stories in the news - right after Johnathan Joseph's arrest, we Chris Henry's sentencing, so we get to hear a judge grandstanding...telling him he cost us games? Excuse me, Coach Grothaus, but how about we limit our remarks to something we have a frickin' clue about? And what, you're an agent now, you know what the market will bear for an elite receiver with discipline issues? Just shut up and do your job...gah. Anyway, it sounds as though the fingers are pointing the right way now - it's not Marvin's fault, it's the players' faults - but someone chose those players in the first place...and it sounds like those decisions will factor in whether the guy is likely to spend half the season suspended or not... Brown 'fed up' with behavior BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected] After watching nine of his players get arrested in the past 13 months, Bengals president Mike Brown said Friday that the team would change its approach on draft day. "There may be some gifted athletes we won't pick that we might have picked a year ago," Brown told The Enquirer's Peter Bronson on Friday, a day that one of Brown's players, wide receiver Chris Henry, spent in jail in Kenton County. Kenton County Judge Douglas Grothaus sentenced Henry to two days in jail for giving alcohol to minors in a Covington hotel room last year.

February 16, 200718 yr Smith gets franchise tag Lewis: Allows time to strike long-term deal BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected] February 16, 2007 CINCINNATI - Bengals fans should not anticipate much free-agent turnover this offseason, and to prove their point, the club designated defensive end Justin Smith as their franchise player Thursday. Though he will be an unrestricted free agent March 2, Smith's designation will make switching teams difficult. By using the franchise tag, the Bengals have the right to match any offer sheet Smith would receive from another team, and if Smith were to sign with another team, they would receive compensation in the form of first-round picks in the 2007 and 2008 drafts. In turn, the team is committed to paying Smith a one-year salary equal to the average of the five highest-paid defensive ends in the league; that amount is $8.6 million, according to figures released by the NFL Players Association during Super Bowl week.

February 16, 200718 yr ^ I like the move. I know a bunch on the Bengals chat board do not like him but it would have been stupid to let him get away. Sure it is still possible he will not be a Bengal next year but I think it's a move they had to do.
March 24, 200718 yr You Gotta love 85. :clap: Out of Cincy, into Africa By GEOFF HOBSON March 23, 2007 Posted: 10:50 p.m. Chad Johnson’s voice is known for its high-pitched, fun-loving boasting cackle that fits so nicely into postgame sound bites. But soon his more somber tones will be the soundtrack of a film documenting crushing African poverty for which he’s the narrator. Johnson, who can still smell the stench of the Nairobi slums, spent 10 days in Kenya stunned as he recorded shoeless children drinking water out of puddles one minute and running around and laughing and kicking a soccer ball the next. Now that he’s back in the States, he’s vowing to help clothe many of the children squeezed hopelessly among a million people churning for life along 300 acres. “I can’t even begin to explain it,” he says, still amazed. “We don’t know how lucky we are.” Johnson has spent his offseason vacation where everyone and no one knows his name. After traveling to London to watch soccer’s Chad, Thierry Henry, play two games for Arsenal, he flew nine more hours to Kenya at the invite of Feed The Children and ended up playing soccer in the mud with barefoot kids.

March 26, 200718 yr Monday night lights BY MARK CURNUTTE | [email protected] March 26, 2007 PHOENIX – The Bengals will play host to the Baltimore Ravens on the first Monday night football game of the 2007 season. Team president Mike Brown said he learned of the game time this afternoon at the NFL annual meeting. The game is at 7 p.m. at Paul Brown Stadium and will be the first game of a doubleheader on ESPN. “We’re very happy about that,” Brown said of the exposure. “It will be an exciting way to start the season.” Full story: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070326/SPT02/303260049
