The Cincinnati Bengals seem surprised (again) that one of their players have misbehaved. This time, it was rookie LB Rey Maualuga getting arrested on DUI charges. Maybe the Bengals should look on the bright side and be thankful that no one seems to be investigating the fact that he was hanging out with underage girls.
But we digress. Today, the Bengals had this to say:
“The Bengals are disappointed in the actions by Rey that led to the charges against him,” the team said in a statement. “We expect a higher standard from our players, as is stressed to them continually. Rey must work to repair the damage this has done to his reputation, and he has begun that process with an apology, an expression of strong remorse and a prompt resolution in the Kentucky court. We expect that Rey will keep taking further steps, and the Club will actively follow up with Rey in working with him from a personal standpoint. Rey’s on-field play and community involvement were excellent during his rookie season, and the Club continues to anticipate an outstanding Bengals career for him.”
