Did I miss something?  What did Chad do now?

I agree with what Paul Daugherty said in the Enquirer today....

trade him to Oakland (who doesn't have a QB) or to his hometown Miami Dolphins who don't either (and watch Tuna run him out of town)...

Its a shame that he's holding the Bengals over the coals with this one....AFTER they gave him 3 contracts in his first 5 years in the league.  The $10M bonus from the last contract??  Thats gone...  He really is screwing the city and the Bengals. 

F You, Chad....and you too Drew Rosenhaus.

No Ohio State...some of these are a real joke.  it just proves the argument everyone has cupcake non conference games  and you cant nuke OSU for playing Youngstown state like everyone does.

seriously Florida vs the Citadel and Oklahoma vs. sisters of the 1AA poor

Overall, I think OSU is one of the better teams regarding scheduling at least one tough out of conference game. They may still have a Kent State, Miami (OH), or Toledo, as they do try to schedule another Ohio team on a yearly basis, but traditionally you have the Texas, USC, Miami (FL), Tennessee-type games to go with it.

Regarding the SEC, they are year in and year out the best conference in college football. Their best team may not be better than the Big 10 or Big 12, but the depth of the SEC is phenominal. I don't fault Florida or LSU or some other top notch SEC team for playing a weaker non-conference schedule, but they do have a habit of playing I-AA teams for non-conference games. At least play Buffalo, Florida International, Duke, or Notre Dame.

Games against 1-AA teams at the end of the year pose serious risk of injuries as well. The other team starts getting blown out, you start taking it easy and BAM!!!! Tim Teboy blows out a knee. Have fun explaining that as a coach.

I was the one who stated Chad should be placed on the practice squad, but according to what I have heard, he stated he isn't going to particpate in any MANDATORY workouts. If that is the case, then can't we cut him for breach of contract and not have to pay his $8 million of salary cap? I know you want to get something for him, but, it's something, that if it's possible, is worth the look.

Hell, me personally, I'd let him skip everything and move on as planned. Have security escort him from the premises if he gets close. Don't let him near the team or practice the whole year. He can go on ESPN whenever he wants and cry like a little girl, but keep him off the field altogether. It may mean swallowing your pride and a few million dollars, but in the long run, it may set a precident to future players who want to be a cancer not only in Cincinnati, but around the league.

i think the bengals would be fools to not fine him everyday he isn't there, and then trade him or cut before the season. he is very selfish and i would attack his pocket book.

They do schedule one team yearly, but Ohio State is a bully with regards to scheduling....what they tried to pull with UC is ridiculous.  They told them, we need to cancel the Bearcat version of the home and home, and you come to Ohio Stadium twice or you don't play us.   

hopefully Kelly's team kicks their teeth in one of those years.

When you are a powerhouse like OSU or Flordia or USC, you should have the right to make demands or "bully" like OSU did.  I know it isn't fair, but that's life.  If Cincy wants to make demands build a stronger program like OSU & start paying your players & not making them go to class. ;)

It is what it is - even with outsourced textiles from Sri Lanka or China, those sweater vests are d*mned expensive and big gates are important.   ;D

Thought Huggins had already instituted that policy for the athletics department... ;)

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft08/news/story?id=3325687 I thought this was interesting considering that the draft is coming up.  A few to me were debatable based upon their ranking & others due to my age & knowledge didn't allow me to have a strong opinion.

I was surfing Yahoo pissed this AM looking at Google's earnings report (one of my friends told me to buy at $419 a Share in Mid March but he was drunk and annoying me so i did not ).  they just destroyed expectations and are trading at $530 up 18% last night after the market closed...hence why i am pissed. 

but the funny thing is on the side of Yahoo finance i noticed a headline for a sports article that grabbed my attention, this is wrong on so many levels

Lewis- why are you so interested in balls? ;)  The artical is for sure strange & wrong that is for sure!

Here is another link like the one I posted before, except this one is the top 50 steals in the draft rather than busts.  http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft08/news/story?id=3329687
The thing I thought was funny was the Lions had something like 3 busts (Rodgers, Ware, & Gibson) & not steals.  It continues to show that there is no love in Detroit.  God I need a football team in LA!

Complain all you want, but the Bengals seemed to have more than any other team.

Turkey Balls...how much do those cost per share

Actually Detroit had four busts no steals & Cincy had four busts + 1 steal, so I will complain all I want! ;D
