For the record, I like the Garfield version far better than the first one posted.

Feline. Orange. It's just more Bengal-like.

On a side note... the Bengals drafting Huber is the feel good story of the draft. How many players get drafted by the team they grew up cheering for?

Yeah, from the Enquirer's site:

“It’s a dream come true,” Huber said, “to be able to stay home and play. I was brought up a Bengals fan.”

Indeed, his lifelong status as a Cincinnati resident made him more attractive to the Bengals.

“His familiarity with the weather and the field conditions here was a big factor,” special teams coach Darrin Simmons said.

Perhaps most important, though, was Huber’s proven ability as a directional punter. He led the country in net punting average three straight years at UC, including this season when he averaged 40.21 yards per punt. He developed directional punting skills after he arrived at UC.

“I’m comfortable with directional punting,” Huber said, “and I know that is what it takes if you want to punt in the NFL. You have to directional punt.”

Dan Jenkins-esque.

I was looking down on Paul Brown Stadium this morning at 9AM and lo and behold there was a lone man practicing.... a punter! No doubt it was Kyle Larson practicing for his next team. It def was not Huber as this guy was right footed and Huber is a lefty. LMAO!

[ArmyBengal]

Maybe Plackmeier, realizing he was brought in for no d*mn reason ??
