  5. Odell Thurman Persona Non Grata

    I'll add a somewhat oddball comment.

    As you all know, the drunk driving incident occured in the East End, I believe on Kellogg Avenue. Recently, a restaurant called the Country Inn, located on Kellogg more or less right across the street from the UDF on the sw corner of Lunken Airfield, was renamed to "Odell's Sports Bar"

    I kid you not.

    I have no idea if this is someone's idea of a bad joke or if the naming is purely coincidental

    He carried the ball....at least until a Raven hit him, that is....

    I don't care whether it was his 2nd game or his 20th or his 2,000th. His job is to carry the ball. The job is the same regardless of experience.

    The game was effectively over within the first few minutes. The Bengals never led.

    Given your lackwitted comments, I take it as a compliment that you consider me a moron. So thanks! :-) You've made my day.

    a few of his more charming personality traits came out. I can dig it. I wouldn't expect any less from him really.

    Yeah, nothing brings out my charming personality traits quite like having to deal with falsehoods written about me. I rather suspect there are very few posters here who like to see lies written about them.

    One of derek's charming personality traits appears to be an inability to deal with being wrong, and then having it pointed out to him.

    *shrug*

    Braham starts on-field work

    By GEOFF HOBSON

    Posted: 1 p.m.

    Center Rich Braham returns to on-field work Wednesday for the first time since he injured his knee in the second game of the season, but he won’t practice and he’s already been ruled out for Sunday’s game against San Diego.

    Yet it indicates he’s a couple of weeks away. Strong safety Kevin Kaesviharn (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful and right tackle Willie Anderson (shoulder) and cornerback Tory James (knee) upgraded to probable.

    Also Wednesday the Bengals signed to the practice squad one of the last 2005 training camp cuts, speedy Michigan cornerback Brandon Williams.

    Wide receiver Chad Johnson chose not to talk to the media Wednesday "because I suck," his postgame mantra from Baltimore last Sunday.

    At his Wednesday news conference, Bengals head coach Marvin Lerwis talked about how he wished players wouldn't vent in response to postgame questions but he said he can understand the frustration.

    "I'm more frustrated than all of them," Lewis said. "Chad's frustrated. We're going to help Chad out as much as we can. That's my job."

    It's easy to say "I told you so" when you pimp every single undrafted free agent we sign while you degrade every single draft pick.

    Completely untrue as stated. Try to avoid absolutes....

    The single undrafted free agent I "pimped" was Henderson. They signed....what....a dozen and a half others?

    On the other side, I never slammed the pick of Jonathan Joseph, and once I understood that Kilmer (listed as a WR at the time he was drafted) was picked as a S and special teamer, I was fine with that. I have since come clean on Peko more than once, albeit he hasn't shown much in the regular season (few Bengals defenders have, though). I was slightly negative on Whitworth and probably should do a writeup on him as well, as he has been a *major* suprise - I'll even argue the BEST CHOICE MADE to this point - on an otherwise strongly negative draft.

    You're bound to be right every once in a while.
    Generous of you.

    That doesn't make you smarter than the majority.

    Again, no such claim was made. I simply pointed to those who said he'd never make the team. Try to avoid logical leaps.

    And before you begin to think of yourself as Nostradamus... I need not remind you of your opinions of Peko and Whitworth in comparison to Eric Henderson who you fell in love with the day we signed him.

    I was "in love with" (in a manly who-dey kinda way....quite comfortable with this :-), hehe) Henderson well before we signed him. Check your facts.

    By the way... just signing a guy from the practice squad doesn't indicate that he's going to be a star.

    Again, please re-read what I wrote. No where do I claim he'll be a star. Or even a starter.

    Look at the number of guys we decided to sign off of the practice squad before we called his number.

    Who is signed off the practive squad has more to do with need than relative ability. If we had a mediocre corner and an outstanding DT on the squad, and three corners go down with injuries one week, who will be the most likely to get signed? The DT or the corner? Your logic here holds no water.

    He very well may end up living up to his potential. We'll find out soon enough... but for the time being, I tend to believe his signing says a lot more about Braham's injury than it does about Wilkerson's value, or the performance of Ghiaciuc.

    This is the one reasonable bit of your post, albeit you don't explain your conclusion. How about enlightening us all, oh self-appointed (surely no one else would think to appoint you to such a post) -voice-of-reason?

    I'm not accepting mediocrity

    Hopefully we'll find someone who wants to take Perry off our hands in the offseason.....some team that needs a running back who can't play special teams, can't do pass-blocking, and lacks anything remotely resembling toughness.

    7th rounder would be fine

    In order of total impact:

    Braham first (by far). offense played well til he went down, has been crap since.

    Tab Perry second. Yes, he was/is a good draft pick.

    Dexter Jackson third. Thank god he is back, just in time to see the previously never injured KK go down

    Chatman fourth (watching Keiwan jump sideways several times before going down on gains of zero was quite painful yesterday - but at least he didn't fumble)

    Levi 5th (quite a testament to Whitworths ability - the draft is looking a bit better of late, I must admit)

    Odell 6th

    Simmons 7th

    Pollack - no impact. I pimped him hard as our choice in 2005, was thrilled when we picked him, but I had consigned him to worthlessness by the time he got around to signing his too-large contract, and he has not therefore disappointed me. He has done nothing for this team in two years other than occupy a roster spot and cash checks.

    Now if only Chris Perry could have STAYED injured, that'd have been good

    In honor of his Perry's "game-changing", "game-breaking", "big-play" first play of the game versus the Ravens, I hereby name him for the week "One Carry Perry", because the difference of that one single carry meant the difference between a win and a loss when the game ended.

    ALL HAIL

    CHRIS

    "ONE-CARRY"

    PERRY

    (and I think we all slug back a stiff drink now to kill the pain......)

    What a great, great running back. Simpy fabulous. Amazing. Here and I was mad he was hurt all the time, turns out we are actually better off (on the field, not at the bank) when he is hurt.
