"If Lewis is fired (or quits), your next head coach will be Bob Bratkowski. I’d bet my game-worn Reggie Williams helmet on it."

I'll take that bet. I realize that it should be years before we learn the truth but I'm the first guy to respond so I've got dibs on the helmet. Please take care of it for me until I've officially won. (Don't allow your kids to eat potato chips out of it.)

As for my end, I'll put up my autographed Anthony Munoz mini-helmet and playing card, as well as any two items you pick from the two dozen or so Bengal t-shirts and sweaters in my closet. This includes my cherished "script-Bengal" sweatshirt purchased in 1968. Truth be told, I can no longer fit into it and fear that even if I could it would quickly turn to dust.

I'm sure Mike Brown is fine with 8-8, it's the fans who will turn on him here and he'll start feeling a lot of local media/talk show heat if that happens yet again...which Marvin probably doesn't get too concerned with.

But I can't see Brown firing him unless he goes 4-12 or 3-13, if Palmer stays healthy all or most of the year.

"If Lewis is fired (or quits), your next head coach will be Bob Bratkowski.

At that point Billy walks to the closet, picks up his .45 and slides a clip into it, chambers a round, and blows his brains out the other side of his head.

And just to help Billy out .......
