What do you think?

Okay I am a Cowboys fan and would like to wish you guys luck this week and just hope for an injury free game. But I have been reading some reports from both Carson and Chad that got me thinking. If T.O did this stuff fans and the media would be in an uproar. Why don't you guys care?

“Tell Jerry Jones I said hello, and give me a call some time,” Funny guy, he knows its tampering.

and another

“Let me tell you, I don’t mean to be funny . . . . I’m not tried to be rude or piss anybody off, but if I was in Dallas, they would have to change all of our damn games to pay-per-view because you need to pay to see that [bleep]. I’m serious. I’m so serious. They would have to put all the games on pay-per-view. Because you can’t just watch a show like that for free; 81 and 85? Come on, now. Please.

"Personally, I grew up a Cowboys fan," said Palmer, who played the Cowboys only once, in Cincinnati in 2004. "I've always wanted to see (Texas Stadium) and play there. It's America's team. They probably won't admit it, but everybody wants to get drafted by the Cowboys, the way the organization is set up and the way it treats its players. It's kind of like seeing the big show, like the Lakers of the NFL."

We just finished up a conference call with Chad Ocho Cinco -- or Johnson, if you prefer -- from the Bengals. You're not going to believe what all he had to say. This is just a taste. More to come.

Johnson: "I've got so much respect for y'all, if I score Sunday, I've love Dallas so much, I'm going to take my helmet off, get a fine and kiss the star."

Q: The one at midfield?

A: Midfield? That's a long [expletive] jog.

Q: What do you mean 'if?'

A: OK, when I score, I'm going to take my helmet off and kiss the star. Can I do that?

Q: Why not?

A: That's not a sign of disrespect. That's a good thing isn't it?

It kinda made me angry. I mean you don't do that. Why are they saying things like this? It just makes the Bengals and ownership look bad.

Chad says the things he says because he's an effing dunce. I don't see a problem with what Carson said.

Right now this year i really dont care about much anymore i cared for to long they do what they want and there is nothing we can do. This team is no good and it shows on the field, i used to care and i used to care alot, but not anymore not since the players and coaches dont care.

Oh really? That makes the Bengals and ownership look bad? Let me tell you something...those comments are a drop in the bucket. We Bengals fans have been living this sh*t since 1991...

Carson's doesn't bug me, Chad's is just more of the same.

I for one appreciate the class with which you started your post and wish the same back at cha'.

In terms of how we feel about those types of comments, Carson's I thought were just typical 'show some respect' political correct comments and I have no problem with them.

In terms of Ocho Sucko, those comments do tick a lot of us off, or at least they used to until we saw the team doesn't apparently care enough to do anything about them, so why should we, the fan base, care?

I know that's a sad response, but I think it's generally accurate, accept for some Ocho lovers like agreen who lives with his head up his tailpipe.

Right now this year i really dont care about much anymore

Of course you don't - it's late sept/early oct and you're a Bengals fan for chrissakes!

[preyer]

i have a theory that ocho loco has a leperchaun living in his pants what pulls the string on his tampon every so often.

[walzav29]

We're just used to it. Jerry Jones is the opposite of Mike Brown. Everyone knows that the Cowboys are a 1st class organization and Brown tries to save money on soap. I'm surprised they actually have the numbers on their jerseys. We're just beaten dogs.

[preyer]

today's line is 16, down from 17 yesterday. so, you know, things are looking up for the bengals.

you are you saying mike brown's personal hygiene is suspect? i'll have you know the man wipes his ass with $100 bills. okay, five dollar bills. would you believe ones? okay, he uses pine cones scavenged from the woods by his football team. the deal is whoever gets a hundred cones doesn't have to play well the next game. what does he do with the cones when he's done? let's just say that you don't want to touch the centrepiece on the table, all right. or accept one as a gift.

has there ever been a mike 'parity rocks!' brown-era bengal who in their honesty isn't amazed at how better going to a new team has been? you don't have to be an english professor to read between the lines, 'i'm thrilled to finally be a part of a *real* football organization.'

wasn't their a stipulation when they foolishly built the new stadium (i say foolishly because most of the schools in hamilton county at the time were older than their 'old' stadium and in far worse condition ~ then again, these are the same idiots who voted down the casinos) that the bengals had to field a competitive team? didn't the city bring that up a few years later? whatever happened to that?

say what you will, ocho loco did the smart thing by not buying all those jerseys, knowing any bengals fan with two brain cells to rub together wouldn't buy one and next season he can get his new name on a new jersey with a new team. ocho loco on the cowboys? heh heh. uh, no. 'll ne'er happen. jones would first have to get arrested for conspiracy against sanity. is that a crime? apparently not, else ocho loco would be serving ten to life right now.

if ocho loco will kiss the star if he scores, what's he been kissing up 'til now?
