Chad Johnson, Perhaps Unaware Of His Surroundings
So remember that hit Chad Johnson took at the end of the Bengals-Browns game last week? Well, over at The Fanhouse, the omnipotent Mighty MJD found the video of Johnson's postgame "discussion" with reporters. We think maybe he wasn't quite ready for an interview yet....
A Day At Paul Brown Stadium
So, we are sad to report that we did not make it to Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson's dramatic interpretation of the chicken dance at Cincinnati's Oktoberfest on Saturday afternoon; we figured by the time we actually made it downtown, we'd be too far away to see anything but the tip of Johnson's ...
Chad Johnson Is A Chicken Dance Maestro
As many have pointed out before, the vast majority of hardcore NFL fans have never attended an actual game in person. Factors include the rarity of games, the high ticket expense and the fear that someone in a dog mask will steal your wheelchair....
NFL Pants Party: AFC North
This might be our favorite division in football. Big Ben's bashed up face/appendix combo, Joey Porter, the Bengals cavalcade of feloniousness, Ray Lewis and sex tapes and murder raps ... oh, and the Browns too. What do the kids think?...
Palmer Looks Strangely Fine And Normal
We're not sure what we were expecting out of Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer last night, but, all told, we would have been less surprised to see his leg fall off than what he actually did. Anytime we had seen Palmer talk, he appeared hesistant and nervous about stepping back on a field after his k...
NFL Season Preview: Cincinnati Bengals
We are officially less than a month before the start of the NFL season, so it's probably time to start previewing the monster. The key to the NFL's success — other than fantasy football and gambling, of course — is the rabid nature of its fans. That is to say: You don't see a lot of people painting ...
Set Tasers To, Uh, Taze? Tase?
Off the Baggie brings up something we've been noticing as well: It sure does seem like lots of athletes are getting tasered lately....
At This Point, They Should Probably Just Have A Lockup Near Camp
What more can we tell you: Another Bengal got arrested. This time it was Bootsy Collins favoite left guard Eric Steinbach, who was arrested for operating a boat under the influence on Saturday night. He was, in fact, in the water at the time, though we admit it would be funnier if he weren't. He i...
Honestly, They Better Sign Isaiah Rider Soon
Admit it: You wouldn't be surprised, at this point, if Carson Palmer was nailed for sticking up a Dairy Queen somewhere just outside Blue Ash, would you?...
A Bengal Gets The Taser
In their ongoing quest to become Blazers East, the Cincinnati Bengals have seen another member of their football team get arrested. And DT Matthias Askew has done it in grand style, somehow managing to get tasered after a parking violation. I am applauding politely....
Reggie Bush Doesn't Care About Black People
Because the people of New Orleans haven't been through enough, Reggie Bush and his agent are threatening to sit out the season and re-enter the 2007 NFL Draft. Saints training camp opens up on Thursday, and Bush isn't likely to be there. He might stop by for a quick photo op, but he won't actuall...
The Ballad Of The Bengals Fan
You know how we love a good and dopey fan-written team tribute song — Sweet Shaun Alexander still wins the prize for the worst, if you ask us — and this one's a particularly fun one, "The Ballad Of The Bengals," about how Cincinnati is finally going to take out Pittsburgh this year, or something, we...
Chris Henry Keeps Himself Busy
Getting arrested once during an offseason is a mistake. Getting arrested twice labels you a troublemaker. Three times, you're officially an epidemic. But when you're arrested for the fourth time in six months ... aw, now you're just showing off....
If Jail Cells Were Endzones, Chris Henry Would Be Jerry Rice
ESPN's headline alone is enough to send me into bemused laughter: "Bengals' Henry arrested for third time since December". I don't know why, but that's funny to me. Henry was doing 82 mph in a 65 mph zone, and then blew a .092 on the breathalyzer. Ohio's legal limit is .08. No report on whether or...
Carson Palmer's Charitable Contributions
From what we understand from various Cincinnati residents, the act of "cornholing" is quite big in the area....
Hey, It Worked In The Warriors
Our affection for Cincinnati wide receiver Chad Johnson is well-documented, so we're obviously down right giddy to see that, in the offseason, Johnson has, inexplicably, decided to grow a mohawk....
Why Do We Consider The NFL Fun Again?
Anyone who watched the NFL last season ended up captivated by two charismatic, outsized personalities: Clinton Portis and Chad Johnson. Every week, each did something creative, original and undeniably fun; we found ourselves rooting for their on-field exploits much more than we would have otherwis...
The Curse Of Queen City
A beleaguered Cincinnati sports fan, still reeling from Carson Palmer's knee implosion and an ugly first-round playoff exit, implores us to feel his pain by reeling off the succession of brutal injuries to befall the Queen City at the worst possible times. Witness:...
Say It Ain't So, Chad
So you know, Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson — forever known as Our Hero around here — did not get in a fight with his coach Marvin Lewis at halftime of Sunday's loss to the Steelers. Who said he did, you ask?...
NFL Playoff Roundup: Riiiiipppppp!
• Honestly, we know this was covered all weekend, but man, that Carson Palmer thing was the worst playoff moment we can remember. We think Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals have it tough; Bengals fans finally get in the playoffs, and two plays in, their Pro Bowl QB tears an ACL and MCL. (Quest...
