Well, Andre Smith has signed. And before Bengal Nation starts back-slapping each other and high-fiving everyone in sight, let’s not forget a few things.
Smith has missed 30 days of practice. He has missed three preseason games. And judging from the picture posted by The Ocho, Andre the Giant isn’t in fighting shape just yet. So [...]
We’ve all heard it before. Preaseason games don’t matter. Blah, blah, blah. Well, people say that until someone tears an ACL. Or a quarterback has his nose broken behind a bad offensive line. Or a starting running back really begins to struggle. And I hate to say it, but Cedric Benson is struggling. Again.
At halftime, [...]
Remember this?
Also, here’s part of today’s Vikings story that didn’t make its way into our 18-page print section. It’s a quote from receiver/returner Glenn Holt, who signed with the team Thursday. He was talking about how the Bengals made a run at him after he had already agreed to terms with the Vikes:

“It’ll be interesting to see how much more Carson Palmer can take if the Bengals have another bad year. Sooner or later, he’s got to [...]
Gregg Easterbrook, ESPN’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback, looks at the Bengals in his AFC preview. He also looks at the Andre Smith holdout and sends most of the blame Smith’s way.
“Slotting” dictates 95 percent of a first-round pick’s contract, so Smith’s holdout can impact only 5 percent of his deal, while dramatically increasing the odds he [...]
The Bengals are getting more attention in the national media, although it’s not the good kind. Elizabeth Merrill looks at the WhoDey Revolution and Mike Brown’s myriad failures. What’s particularly interesting – or frightening – is that Brown has had one winning season in the 18 years since Paul Brown passed away. The article ends [...]
