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 [...]
The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the few teams that no one wants to face right now. Their defense is filthy and they will find a way to knock the piss out of you. It’s their thing. However, that could all change if Troy Polamalu is out for any period of time. And a source [...]
Former second-round pick Mike Nugent did a phenomenal job on Sunday of executing an onside kick to keep the Cincinnati Bengals alive against the Indianapolis Colts. Pierre Garcon botched the recovery and the Bengals got possession. But that possession looks like it came at quite a cost. Nugent had to be carried off the field [...]
The Cincinnati Bengals took a huge gamble in the 2009 NFL Draft by taking Alabama tackle Andre Smith with the No. 6-overall pick. So far it hasn’t paid off. He was a holdout last year, tends to be overweight and got benched Monday night after giving up a sack. And it just gets worse for [...]
In case you haven’t noticed – and judging by the ratings you haven’t – Cincinnati Bengals WR’s Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco have a television show. It’s called the T. Ocho Show and it airs on Versus network or something. But anyway, apparently last week T.O. said something about the Big Ben suspension vs. the [...]
Since you aren’t going to go back and actually check, you’ll have to take my word for it when I tell you I am 100% spot on in my NFL picks this season. This week, I yet again will pick the games that JA and Perry were afraid to. They like to pick “low hanging [...]
According to Cincinnati Bengals WR Chad OchoCinco, he has a little soreness in the rib cage area. Specifically, he says the rib is a little on the busted side. “@LionelLarry yeah boss, cracked rib but I’m good,” he tweets. This is a little bit of a concern. Usually, rib injuries involve pain threshold, but that [...]
When the Cincinnati Bengals aren’t bringing in players who have issues with the law, they are adding guys who simply can’t help the team. Last year it was Laveraneous Coles. This year? It’s Antonio Bryant. And the Bengals have finally decided to part ways with the wide receiver that they already spent $7.85 million on. [...]
Antonio Bryant has given the Cincinnati Bengals about one day of training camp practice since they signed him to a four-year, $28 million contract this offseason. It’s safe to say that signing him was a mistake. His balky knee has prevented him from adding anything to the team. Now, a source tells Bob Glauber of [...]
While many teams talk about what they want to do in preseason games in terms of getting in the end zone, forcing turnovers or getting pressure on the quarterback or whatever, that’s all kind of BS. While they really do want to iron out the kinks before the games count, they all have the same [...]
If you didn’t see the Philadelphia Eagles game last night, you didn’t miss much if you are an Eagles fan. But, the team did get a bit of a scare when a Cincinnati Bengals DB rocked the world of wide receive Jeremy Maclin. He got him pretty good and Maclin had to eventually just drop [...]
When it comes to wide receivers in Cincinnati who tend to make headlines with their mouth, the first person every one thinks of Chad Ochocinco. We personally love him and think he adds a lot to the sport. We’re also pretty sure that he can be a handful at times. But, two sources tell Jason [...]
Cincinnati Enquirer writer Joe Reedy tweets that the Bengals have finally inked first-round pick Jermaine Gresham to a contract. He was drafted No. 21 overall in the 2010 NFL draft. “League source on Gresham’s deal — $15.8 million/$9.6 million guaranteed/$18.5 million max,” he tweets. Gresham will probably join the first team immediately, as the Bengals [...]
As you’ve probably heard by now, Terrell Owens signed with the Cincinnati Bengals today. We kept hearing about Antonio Bryant and how slow his knee has been coming along. Apparently, the Bengals were concerned about it because they brought in T.O. (we’ve even heard that Bryant is a candidate for PUP). Owens is signed for [...]
Terrell Owens took to Twitter to write, “Hoping 2 b a Bengal w/in the 24hrs!!” And according to a source familiar with the situation, T.O. will sign with the Bengals tomorrow when he heads to Georgetown for training camp. According to the AP, The Bengals were his first choice, giving him a chance to team [...]
According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Rams will opt not to sign WR Terrell Owens. There had been increasing internal talks about adding T.O., but they decided against it in a meeting on Monday. “Rams say no to t.o. See stltoday.com,” Thomas tweets. It’s funny because the Rams will [...]
We admit it. We love Chad Johnson. Or Chad OchoCinco or whatever the hell he wants to be known as. We think he’s hysterical and he got another laugh out of us after his recent appearance on Good Day New York on Fox 5. Ocho was on the show to promote his new reality show [...]
We mentioned earlier that Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson was arrested…again. He supposedly assaulted some folks at a bar in Austin, Texas and was taken into custody today. But now, Benson’s attorney has released a statement in defense of his client. “Late last month at a nightclub, Cedric Benson was asked to take pictures with [...]
Remember when it seemed like ever day that Chicago Bears RB Cedric Benson was getting arrested for this or that? Well, they dropped him and since the Cincinnati Bengals picked him up, his career has been on a different path. He became their featured back and actually blossomed into quite a player. He is even [...]
The Baltimore Ravens had their share of kicking woes last season. They still have Billy Cundiff on the roster, but the major problem with that is having Billy Cundiff on the roster. So the Ravens attempted to solve their kicking issues by signing former Cincinnati Bengal Shayne Graham. Graham fell out of favor in Cincy [...]
A league source tells PFT that the Cincinnati Bengals are going to sign troubled CB Adam “Pacman” Jones. Jones recently worked out for the team and, despite head coach Marvin Lewis’ claims that they aren’t interested, it looks like he will be added to their roster. Jones hasn’t played since 2008 and was last with [...]
We would have to imagine that the Cincinnati Bengals have someone on 24-hour standby to deal with issues like this. One can never know when the next Bengals player will run into the law. And thus, it happened Monday night. Wide receiver Maurice Purify was arrested at a bar in Newport on charges of disorderly [...]
ESPN is reporting that the Cincinnati Bengals and safety Roy Williams have agreed to a one-year deal. Apparently, the Bengals felt like they were a little thin on safeties who can’t cover a table with a table cloth. We don’t have the full terms of the deal (as you may have noticed), but Williams was [...]
