membengal Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/s....cincinnati.comThis note echoes an on-going discussion on this board:"An observation from the past couple weeks, as camp drew near: The excitement and enthusiasm among Bengals fans and followers does not appear to be as fervent this year. Maybe it's the disappointment of the past two seasons and the combined 15-17 record. Maybe it's celebrity fatigue brought on by Chad Johnson's complaints about his multi-million contract and the off-field behavior of Chris Henry (good move not to re-sign him). Maybe it's all of the above. Maybe it's the sour economy that has pinched every American." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
