You may remember back in September that Cincinnati Bengals WR Jerome Simpson ran afoul of the law when he had more than two lbs. of marijuana delivered to his home. Once investigators got a hold of the package, they searched his residence to find six more lbs of pot, along with smoking and scaling devices. [...]
Back on October 24th, Terrell Owens held a workout for all 32 NFL teams in which not one of the 32 teams sent so much as an intern. T.O. is recovering from ACL surgery and still wasn’t healthy enough to run a 40-yard dash. Perfect time to hold an audience-less audition. Here’s the problem, on [...]
So, was Cincinnati Bengals owner/president/GM/waterboy Mike Brown really bluffing when he said that Carson Palmer was retired and he had no intentions of trading him? Maybe. But when someone desperate, like the Oakland Raiders, calls and offers you a first-round pick and possibly another one…I guess your ears perk up. The Bengals shipped Palmer to [...]
Over the weekend, some random internet site (we hate those!) reported that the Miami Dolphins had offered the Cincinnati Bengals a trade for QB Carson Palmer. The offer was supposedly a third-round conditional pick that can jump up to a second rounder. The trade offer seems fair, but a high-ranking team source tells Joe Reedy [...]
You may remember the story during the lockout of Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson beating the crap out of a former roommate. He eventually took a plea deal and spent a few days in jail. And apparently, Roger Goodell didn’t like it. Because, according to Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports, Benson is going to miss [...]
People that smoke marijuana usually know a few basic rules about dealing with it. Don’t mention it specifically over the phone, don’t send it by mail, that sort of thing. Well, apparently Cincinnati Bengals WR Jerome Simpson didn’t get the memo, because police confiscated a package that was sent to his house in Kentucky that [...]
Originally, Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was planning on serving his jail sentence for his 2010 assault charges during the bye week. It makes sense since the team usually tells its players to get away from football for a week. But, there apparently has been a change of plans. At 11 p.m. Tuesday evening, Benson [...]
We understand that it’s not going to raise too many eyebrows when we put the words “Bengals” and “shot in the leg” in the same sentence. But, yes, it’s happened again. This time to a former member of the team. Former Cincinnati Bengals DE Antwan Odom was shot in the leg early Monday morning around [...]
The New England Patriots aren’t afraid to make trades. That much we know. Earlier, they picked up Albert Haynesworth in a low-risk trade with the Washington Redskins. Apparently, they weren’t done gathering problem children. They sent a couple of late-round picks to the Principle Champion Cincinnati Bengals in exchange for loquacious WR Chad Ochocinco. Ocho [...]
Cincinnati Bengals owner and president and general manager and whatever else you want to call him has said publicly the whole time that he is not trading Carson Palmer. Carson Palmer has said the whole time that he’ll retire before wearing a Bengals jersey again. Something has to give, right? The team won’t just let [...]
We didn’t get a chance to post the original story of the arrest (again) of Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson. We were busy getting wasted by the pool all afternoon and by the time we got back, it wasn’t news anymore. So, we’ll post about some of the new details that have come out. The [...]
We all know about Pacman Jones at this point. The Cincinnati Bengals CB likes to get arrested…a lot. He’s been in trouble with the law even before he was drafted in the first round of the NFL draft in 2005. And while he hasn’t been in trouble for quite some time, he clearly still can’t [...]
Despite there being a lockout, things in the NFL are actually quite normal. How do we know? Because the Cincinnati Bengals are still a hot mess. You’ve got the quarterback saying that he’ll retire before he’ll play for them again. And their “star” wide receiver Chad OchoCinco is calling out the head coach and owner. [...]
It was revealed recently that Terrell Owens went under the knife to repair a torn ACL. And there were conflicting reports about how he did it. Some said that he did it while working out, others said it happened during the taping of a TV show. Regardless of how he did it, it apparently didn’t [...]
With Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco doing reality television shows, playing soccer and riding bulls, there are many people who are questioning his focus when it comes to football. The latest? His boss, Bengals’ owner Mike Brown “Next maybe he’ll be snake wrangler and we can all watch to see if he gets bit or [...]
Cincinnati Bengals fans really deserve better than this. Carson Palmer has said that he will never play for the team again, and that he’ll retire if he’s not released or traded. He seems pretty damn serious. However, team owner/GM Mike Brown has said that he’s not going anywhere. And he reiterated that sentiment yesterday, as [...]
Whether or not Carson Palmer ever plays a down of football again in the NFL is subject to an individual’s opinion. He says he’ll never play for the Cincinnati Bengals again and will retire if he’s forced to do so. Bengals owner Mike Brown says Palmer isn’t going anywhere. Who will blink first? Well, if [...]
For years, Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco lit up the NFL for years, posting gaudy numbers in receiving yards. He was clearly an elite receiver. But now? He’s topped 1,000 yards just once in the last three years. And while he got nine TD’s in 2009, he had just four in the year before and [...]
OTR has a staff full of nutjobs when it comes to sports. We probably spend way too much time reading, watching and writing about sports. Our wives can attest to this. That said, how friggin’ stupid do you have to be to infringe on a player’s personal life? It’s sports, you morons. So, when we [...]
Cincinnati Bengals QB Carson Palmer has made it clear to anyone who will listen that he no longer wants to play for them. He’s even said that he’ll retire before he plays for them again. And a report from WCPO says that he’s dead serious. “I will never set foot in Paul Brown Stadium again,” [...]
Stunning news from Michigan, Terrell Owens played a season for a football team and then blamed others after the fact when the team stunk up the joint all year. Right on schedule, that is exactly what T.O. is doing right now, calling out the Bengals coaching and front office. Owens was on NFL Network’s Total [...]
If Carson Palmer isn’t serious about really wanting to leave the Cincinnati Bengals, he’s one hell of a bluffer. He’s said that he’ll consider retiring if he doesn’t get moved to another team, and it would seem that he’s not kidding. Channel 9 Sports in Cincinnati has learned that Palmer has put his Indian Hill [...]
This is a bit of a surprise. After 10 years of running the Cincinnati Bengals offense, Bob Bratkowski was shown the door on Monday, according to Chris Mortensen of ESPN. The Bengals offense has underperformed as of late, failing to reach 21st or better in the league in points in any of the past three [...]
OTR never really got into calling him Chad OchoCinco. It was a stupid gimmick and he’ll always be known as Chad Johnson to us. But, according to his Twitter account, he might be Chad Johnson again soon to everyone else as well. “@schuerman77 I love Cincy,we are gonna be fine, just a few minor adjustments [...]
Yesterday, Cincinnati Bengals WR Terrell Owens underwent surgery to fix a torn meniscus in his knee. And today, the team placed him on season-ending (is there any other kind?) injured reserve. According to a report from Mike Florio of PFT, the Bengals had previously considered deactivating him for the final three games anyway because of [...]
