Point taken! But I don't like Chad Johnson either, wouldn't throw beer on him but don't like him. I do how ever like Carson, great QB and seems to be a class act also. To bad he is surrounded by a few "thugs". I refer to a thug as someone who has a God given talent and wastes it buy doing things that should be beneath them. Athletes should stand out and shine, instead of being caught with pot and underage kids, they should be doing charity work and encouraging kids to finish school. And for the record Cincy is not the only organization with "thugs" on the teams.

I don’t feel as if it is appropriate to put Chad Johnson in the same category as thugs. He has done nothing but made the league more fun. I have been a diehard fan of Cincinnati for a long time. Chad has done nothing wrong to be compared to others that have broken the law. As far as bad fans go, every team has them and that will never change. Bad fans can be found at the elementary level as well. I know I have coached T-Ball for the past three years. Chad has done a lot for Bengal football. He has helped to bring life back to a dead program along with many others that should not be placed in the thug category. Cincinnati football is alive again and we can compete, something that wasn’t possible during most of the 90’s. It seems like maybe you just don’t like the Bengals because the Steelers don’t get the two guaranteed wins that they once got every year from the Bengals. Crossbones, I am in no way picking on you. I just don’t think that you should hate a team for becoming better and learning how to compete. Yes every team has problems.
:mad:


Chad will be racing a horse to feed hungry children. That sure doesn’t seen like thug mentality: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/...orse_N.htm

As far as the game goes today, it was a big let down for the team, fans, and community today. The special teams have not been special yet this season. The defense needs a new direction. I think we all know that this offense can play with most in the NFL. Palmer is as good as they come in the QB position, but the D may never give him the chance to take it to the next level without change. Thank goodness that this was a division game and we will have a chance to make it somewhat right.
