HairOnFire Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The thread title is just a joke....although I wouldn't mind watching it happen It's Carson Palmer's turn to be interviewed by Mike Tirico. He'll be introduced in a few minutes. Expect the topic of Chad to be discussed as well as the signing of little bro.....and all things Bengal. Just a little heads up for those who are interested.

oldschooler Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I`m sure someone could have recapped it better. But this is what I got . . .He said he was cold. He said he personally needs to watch every game, and find a wayto iron out the negatives and find more positives. He said it`s hard watching other teams in the Playoffs. He said as a team they didn`t play well. But he needs to workon his own game. He needs to watch film on his game, andbecome a better player. He said he took 2 weeks off. And is working out now.He said there is a sense of urgency to get to the Playoffs,and Super Bowl. He says their window is still open. He says they knew that their season was over. And they were talking about how bad it sucked to not bein the Playoffs. He said it was a long year when he came back from theinjury. And he is thankful for the people that helped him get back.He was asked about Chad. He said Chad is a big part. He is a starplayer. He said he is one of the better players in this league.He said Chad and TJ are 2 of the best players in this league,and they have to be on the same team. We all need to geton the same page.He said it is special to have Jordan on the team. Being 4 yearsolder than him, they never had the opportunity to be on the same team.They are going to work out together. He said Jordan has his work cutout for him. But he has a good shot to make the team. He has tolearn the Offense really fast, because he has 2 QBs that have a yearin the Offense ahead of him. They said something about Carson voting for Jordan in the Heisman.He loves when the QB kisses the trophy and then hands it to theCoach or the Owner. He asked about Brady.He said he wished he had a chance at knocking them off (again).He said it`s unbelievable how they play. It`s fun and amazing.He wants to play in this league as long as he can. (He is pimpingsome G2 drink). He said he does everything he can to be in thebest shape, and take care of his body the best he can.It`s over. That`s all I got . . .

DC_Bengals_Fan Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Thanks a bunch.I was hoping he would say something like, "I'm headed over to Chad's place to straighten his ass out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted January 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Very nice recap, Old. Nothing much to add. Instead I'll make a few observations. First, it's striking how calm and at ease Palmer now appears in interviews. I've watched him from the days when he was a freshman at USC and his growth in front the cameras is remarkable. Where once he always appeared uncomfortable he now seems totally in control. Calm, even, unwilling to take any bait offered, and sometimes quite funny with a perfect deadpan delivery. If I had a problem with anything Palmer said, and I don't really, it would be his remark about Chad Being the Bengals best player and the face of the team. Frankly, I think I understand why he says such things, especially the way Palmer passes the mantle of best player to Chad instead of claiming it for himself. You do that to calm the baby, right? But it's become increasing obvious that allowing Chad Johnson to remain the face of the franchise is a fatal flaw. Simply put, your public face can't be a joke. More TJ. Less Chad. More Palmer. Less Chad. More Marvin. Less Chad. More anyone else. Less Chad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less Chad. More Marvin. Less Chad. More anyone else. Less Chad.As you're alluding to, you have two choices with Chad - constant ego stroking, or total hardass. The first seems to just make the monster bigger, and the second makes him pout. Problem is you have Marvin playing hardass and Carson stroking the ego.The only conclusion I can reach is that with more success and attention Chad will become an ever bigger pain in the ass, and I don't know how you handle that except to make him someone else's problem.
