Palmer had an epic season on the mulch play area of Bambi Land Daycare in Encino. At the end of the year they had a big showdown with the kids from Caterpillar Clubhouse in Pomona. Palmer kicked ass as usual, but was a good sport about it.
I looked on YouTube but couldn't find it.
It was 1985, before youtube or videocameras. There's a diorama of it carved on a cavewall somewhere. And that exists only because some daycare supervisor had the foresight to say, "WRITE THAT s**t DOWN!!!"

LMAO.
Surely the clause wherein the networks agreed to pay 4 billion dollars to the owners during a lockout season in which no programming was delivered in exchange for the 4 billion dollars cost something. Probably a lot.
So the owners traded revenue, which the players would have shared, for a right to receive money the players won't share. Let's start figuring out the damages!

It's on now....

That writer compared Mike to the Berlin Wall.
That is all.

To the AJ Green fans:
Are you in favor of drafting him even if Chad is not cut? I'd like to think Chad will not play another game in Bengal stripes regardless, but with this team you never know. What if some other WR gets cut in order to make room for Green?
If spending a high draft pick or huge free agent money on a receiver is the cost to get rid of Chad, I'm all for it. If it turns out the guy can play, that's a bonus.

Palmer is going to go somewhere and revive his career just like Corey Dillon did, so you clowns keep taking your childish shots at him. It may not happen this year since the season is in major jeopardy but it will happen.
I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man.

Gholston, classic workout warrior who didn't work out. He fits half the profile, he's washed up.

Saying goodbye to Palmer also means we could be saying goodbye to Mike flailing about trying to provide his golden boy with all the shiny toys he needs to bring back 1985 (Bryant, Terrel Owens, the guy from the Jets who couln't get open, the tight end from the Colts that Roy Williams about killed, etc.) Maybe we can bring in some linemen.
1985 was nothing special. Did you mean to say 2005?
Nope, '85. Palmer had an epic season on the mulch play area of Bambi Land Daycare in Encino. At the end of the year they had a big showdown with the kids from Caterpillar Clubhouse in Pomona. Palmer kicked ass as usual, but was a good sport about it.
Yes, I meant 2005, somewhere between my brain and my fingertips things don't always go right.

If true, this is good news. It shows Mike is suddenly willing to deal with the world as it is, instead of the world as he wishes it were.
And the Bengals could be in a good spot. Let's face it, Palmer is getting hurt all the time now. And Pete Carroll could be desperate to get someone in there, and he knows and coached Palmer. He would likely overlook any red flags and believe he can turn Palmer back into the Heisman trophy winner. The Seahawks could be in a perfect position to massively overpay. That's all Mike wants, someone to do something he wouldn't do in a million years.

Agreed, Mallet runs the wrong kind of offense. Also likes reefer too much, if the combine rumors are to be believed. Can't lead the team if you're suspended.
Billy must have pimped Cam Newton too hard, because the way the wind is blowing now he'll probably go first.
Veteran free agent seems like the way to go.

Walter, if you get on that Sirius NFL radio show and the conversation kind of lags, tell them my story about meeting that old lady who knew Orville Wright. That should liven things up.

Just baffling.
Livings was truly bad. I can recall trying to give him the benefit of the doubt but after really focusing on his play during many games, he is just not very good.
I'd like to see Andre Smith at LG. If they think Collins could handle RT, adding Roland out there when they stack it, getting Mathis in there at RG would be much quicker off the ball on running plays. Loading it on the left, with Whit and Fat f**king Albert could be a solid wall of blubber to keep Cook from collapsing against guys like Ngata and Hampton.
That could give us a marketing gimmick. Like the purple people eaters, the steel curtain, etc. We'll have the SWOB!

Well, if that twitter was factual, good. If we only get one, I'd say let's sign Joseph and let Ced walk. I'm probably Ced's biggest backer on here, I think he's a great running back. But a ready-in-year-one running back will be a lot easier to find than a corner who's ready to play at a high level.

Being happy with the status quo = job security at PBS.

Quick, name the last beast/monster/freakishly gifted WR that has won a Super Bowl? Larry Fitzgerald? Andre Johnson? Michael Crabtree? Calvin Johnson? Dez Bryant? Nope.
This team can win with defense and a good running game. I am more concerned about who the next QB will be rather than burning a top 5 pick on trying to finding Chad's replacement.
The new oc holds a press conference and says we're deemphasizing the pass, we're going to pound the ball.
Mike runs out and spends a first round pick on a wide receiver.
Sounds pretty 'effin Bengal to me.

Palmer's agent talked to a radio station in Seattle. He didn't say much, but he also didn't say Mike Brown was being a jackass who wouldn't listen to reason. The last sentence below was the most indicative of anything. Just to hear him say that something was "resolved" in Carson's mind was encouraging.
/>http://www.dispatch.com/live/content/sports/stories/2011/02/18/rumblings-2-18-art-g3vbm1t6-1.html?sid=101Carson Palmer's agent told Seattle radio station KJR that he would be surprised if the quarterback returns to the Bengals.
"I think he's at peace with the meeting that he had with the owner, where he expressed some things about his desires to go a different direction in his career," David Dunn said. "That's between them, and I don't want to get into that a heck of a lot, but I think he's really at peace with that meeting and how it was resolved in his mind."

Anyone dumb enough to take advice from Chad is doomed anyway. Hopefully this baseball player will take a look at Chad's life and ignore him.

Mike won't mind that commercial as long as someone else paid for that stuffed tiger.

Something about a pot and a kettle.

As the title of this thread indicates, I met an old lady. She is a friend of my parents, both of whom are almost 80. This lady is noticably older than them.
She introduced herself to me during a visit I had with my parents yesterday. She said her name was Carole, and she proved to be a lively conversationalist.
Carole had a good life. She lived in Alaska for a few years while in her early 20s, she lived in various places around the world while she and her husband followed his job. He was a tractor salesman.
Anyway, I asked her where she grew up, and she said Dayton. So I shared some impressive information about myself, like that I sometimes drive past Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and that I've heard that the museum there is good.
She then said the following: "Wright Patterson Air Force Base? I knew Orville Wright."
I'm like, "Really Carole? And what was Orville Wright like?"
She said he was, "austere, and very very grumpy."
According to Carole, Wilbur checked out pretty early, but Orville lived a very long life. She said he lived in a big victorian house in the best development in Dayton that, ironically, had been planned and developed by John Patterson, the owner of National Cash Register, and the man whom Orville would eventually share billing with atop the local air force base.
She said as a child she would encounter Orville frequently around town and that he was kind to her and other children, though not overly engaging with adults.

The owners are ready for a lockout. In fact they kind of planned it. They opted out of the CBA. The last tv contract, they negotiated a clause that entitles them to be paid by the networks even in the event of a lockout. Yep, they get paid even if they don't provide any programming, and I think the amount was 4 billion for the season.
That's their tv money with no outlay for labor. Think the owners care about a lockout? They want a lockout, they want to reduce the share of revenue going to the players.
While it is true that the NFL is popular on an almost crazy level, nothing stays the same. The owners, especially if a two year lockout takes place, might just be surprised at the backlash.
Personally, I don't think the players will make it to a second lockout season. No way do they have the discipline, and they aren't getting paid while the owners are? Easy to see who will win this battle.
The players union already filed a complaint, claiming the owners gave up tv revenue (which the players share) in exchange for the clause giving them their money in case of a strike year. No doubt this is true, as a clause like that doesn't come for free. My understanding is the players lost that complaint.

ok 2 decent movies, how about batman, mars attacks, and countless other very bad movies.
Mars Attacks was a very good movie, I thought. Didn't know this guy was in it, though. Also, not too pertinent to anything, but George Clooney is supposedly a huge Bengals fan. That guy is pretty legitimate.

But in your scenario... telling your wife where she will and won't live, what she can and can't do, doesn't equal "loving your family." In fact, more often than not, it ends up in seeing your kids just on the weekends for the foreseeable future.
I mainly like to talk tough like this on the internet. That way I feel better when I get home and my wife is like, "Here's your hamburger helper, do the dishes so they don't sit around all night, help junior with his math before you put him in bed, by the way are you ever planning to sweep out the garage again, because it's like a gravel pit out there, my mom's coming over, can you go over and thaw out the pipe under her sink? I'll make up the guest bedroom for her while you're over there, her house is too cold right now, if you get all that done then you can get on Bengalszone for five minutes before you pass out from exhaustion to tell everyone how Carson Palmer should should be the big boss man of his house just like you are."
-
besides people who think loving your family makes you a bitch?
No one said that. Carson is the head of that household. It doesn't mean he doesn't love his family if he tells his wife, look, this is where my career is, this is where we're living until further notice. That's loving your family. Letting your wife run all over you, take your kids across the country and try to dictate your career choices to you, that makes you a bitch.

Ha ha! Nick's got some game, apparently.
Tommy Harris, anyone?

I don't know if it's true or not, because I read it on the internet, but I heard that Gholston was due a $9 million bonus after his third season if he had recorded, anytime during his first three seasons, a sack, a forced fumble, or a recovered fumble.
Epic bust.
