First the Bengals QB was reported to have an "intestinal virus." Then it was "flu-like symptoms." Finally, just "the flu." This is sports code for one of two things: a hangover, or just outright shitting all over the place. Dalton was shitting all over the place. But now he's not! More »

From takeoff to landing, this is one of the most remarkable touchdowns you'll see scored in any season of the National Football League. Jerome Simpson's leap calls for a superlative version of "elevate," but sticking the landing makes this the clip you'll be seeing for decades. [FOX] More »

"An operation by state narcotics agents that tracked a shipment of high-grade marijuana from Northern California led police to a suburban Kentucky house and two National Football League players, law enforcement authorities said. Cincinnati Bengals teammates Jerome Simpson and Anthony Collins, both 25, were at Simpson's home in Crestview Hills, Ky. on Tuesday, when a package allegedly containing 2.5 pounds of marijuana arrived at the house in what authorities called a controlled delivery."

As noted by Larry Brown Sports, it's tough to tell whether that's a can of Tecate or a Coke in Carson Palmer's right hand outside Saturday's Syracuse-USC game. Not that it matters. Palmer had warned the Bengals he'd retire if they refused his trade demand, and the Bengals chose to move on rather than give in. Doesn't look like Palmer seems to mind. [Larry Brown Sports] More »

So Michael Vick tells Emeritus for GQ that nobody cares about dog-fighting except the media, that white people don't understand where he came from, and that the NFL encouraged him to go play for the Eagles when he pretty much preferred the Bengals or the Bills. Vick, as if on cue, has since clarified what he said to say he didn't exactly mean what he said: More »

"Gold Star Chili seems to be questioning their sponsorship as the 'Official Chili of the Cincinnati Bengals' ... In the 5 question survey, which you can take here, Gold Star cites some pretty convincing evidence that would lead one to beleive [sic] that the company's major sponsorship of the Bengals is likely not going to pay many dividends this season..."

While Chad Ochocinco was thanking God for sending him to New England (or more likely just getting him out of Cincinnati), his now ex-teammate Pacman Jones was helping himself to the contents of Ochocinco's locker. That included modeling the sombrero Chad once pulled out on the field and offering up an action figure for the low, low price of $5. It ought to surprise no one that Ochocinco had a sombrero and an action figure of himself in his locker. More »

When the season is actually delayed, we'll hate the NFL lockout for that. But for now we're just pissed at Goodell and/or De Smith that there's no football news out there. Summers suck for sports, and NFL draft/free agency/holdouts/training camp talk are an entire second season that we're lacking. Which is why we're always happy to have the headline-making Terrell Owens in our lives. More »
