You guys are doing great with constructive comments on the draft. I don’t agree with some, couldn’t agree more with others, but hey, that’s why I love this stuff so much. I will say this, I WANT the Bengals to prove me wrong, I WANT this massive OT from Kansas to jump in at guard [...]

The rookie mini-camp is this coming weekend. We’ll get our first dose of how these guys look and what kind of ethic and attitude they’ll have.
As for the draft grading, I’ll stick by my grade of D. I’m going to let these guys prove me wrong, which I’ll gladly admit if so. But, as of [...]

Well, here it is Monday. The much anticipated draft came in like a lion, and went out like a sheep. We’ve been fleeced. We see a WR coming out of Florida who until the National Title game really wasn’t the biggest draw on the Florida team. With WR Caldwell out of Coastal Carolina (ok, before [...]

Well, Cincinnati has now drafted two WR’s in the first four rounds (5 picks total for them). They have a new LB, new DT and new OT as well. Merril Hoge from ESPN reported Cincy’s asking price for a trade for CJ was steep, which of course it should have been. First, I am opposed [...]

- We rec’d a contact from Washington in regards to Chad [...]

This version of our mock draft takes into account the signing of #1 draft pick Jake Long, recent free agent activity, pro day workout results, rumors and retirements. Also, it’s worth noting here, that I believe Cincinnati and Kansas City will work out a trade of picking order and or an after draft trade that [...]

Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach Marvin Lewis stated today that he believes Chad Johnson is a man of his word. He also said, that since he believes that, Chad should sit out the entire season because that’s what he said he’d do without a  trade, and that the Bengals weren’t going to trade CJ. Check out [...]

Unconfirmed rumors say that Dan Snyder, the outlandish Redskins owner, has offered Cincinnati this year’s first round pick and possibly next year’s pick for disgruntled Bengals receiver Chad Johnson. Coach Lewis and Mike Brown have said they have not been contacted by the Redskins in regards to Ocho Cinco. There have also been some unconfirmed [...]
