In all seriousness Army and mods, why hasn't that fool been run at this point? This board won't be usable come the regular season if he/she is here and celebrating each Bengals loss. No person on here needs that kind of "I told you so" bulls**t when each and every person here is well acquainted with Cincy's general futility.

Agree, but the offseason is almost at an end and if nothing else, it's something to discuss.

Your thought hasn't gone unnoticed...

SHANE GRAHAM RULES!!!

[Bearcat1975]

You guys must have missed where the Redskins owner bought out Mike Brown and is going to spend an assload of cash on all kinds of players.

I think it's great because we are sure to make the playoffs now right ?? I mean it worked for the Redskins over the past 5+ years he's been doing that right ??

Wait a minute...

Sorry but the ole "Redskins excuse" to justify the annual Bengal hand-wringing when other teams are at least trying...just doesn't hold water anymore. They have been to the playoff twice in the past 5+ years.

Your thought hasn't gone unnoticed...

I guess it all comes down to what kind of board you all are trying to run here. If you want it to be a fan site, free of criticism, then say so. If you want it to be a fan site where people are also able to vent their frustrations at various inadequacies of the team, then that's fine too.

But don't act like all I do is complain, or else CentralOhioBengal will have to scour through all of my posts again to prove that my complaining about the Bengals per post is at about 2.5 percent. Don't let reality get in the way of a good witch hunt though... Think about why you put me on ignore. Because you disagreed with my definition of the word "character" and you were so mad that I wouldn't admit how wrong I was that you put me on ignore.

Grow up, people. Its a flippin' message board. A message board for a team that has had exactly one winning season in the past 19. And you call me "negative." That's their track record! If the stock market drops 500 points, and the AP Wire reports it as such, I guess they are just being negative too.

Case in point above too. You used the tired ole Redskins excuse which has long since been disproven by the Redskins themselves. But I'm being negative for calling you out on it?

Grow up. If you want to direct your venom somewhere, how bout directing it toward the f**ktard that keeps rolling out a crappy inferior product for us to root for year after mind numbing year, to the tune of record profits.

No person on here needs that kind of "I told you so" bulls**t when each and every person here is well acquainted with Cincy's general futility.

The only people who get the "I told you so" treatment are those who try to say "it isn't so."

But lets make sure everyone is understanding what you are saying: The board won't be "usable" (whatever the hell that means..like I am going to break it or something) because after every loss I will come here to celebrate. Is that REALLY what you are selling?

What you are really saying is when the Bengals screw up, you would rather not hear about why they screwed up. Put me on ignore then. But you can't put the Bengals on ignore, so like it or not, you are stuck with the results.

"The board will become unusable?" Your logic is unusable.

[membengal]

You are a dumb motherf**ker, groundhog day. I typed that slowly, so you can understand it.

This board, which I have been around for five years, has NO shortage of people pointing out the team's failings. For f**kssake, EVERY SINGLE PERSON on here has done that, over and over again, as needed.

What this board does NOT need, is some poser wannbe gadfly douchebag wandering in and acting like they are God's gift to insight that sun rises in the east. You are a douchebag assmuncher of the first order for thinking you are the new poster to illumine the hopelessly navie. So, seriously, now, go f**k yourself with a rhino sized dildo and die. No one here needs your relentless "I told you so" when we in fact, dumbass, have always been up front about the team's issues. What I do know about the other posters on here, because I have read enough of their stuff, is that they will, by and large, agree that there are times that the Bengals make decent calls on personnel and general plan. s**t, even Shula Steak will so allow. You? Have not seen it from you. Mostly, you seem like the peculiar brand of wandering troll who enjoys wallowing in and formenting misery. That, to be specific, is how the board can become "unusable". And, generally, you have already made it so. And it is likely to get worse, I am guessing, when actual football news begins. Because if you can be such a festering boil of douchiness in the off-season, I cannot imagine how fetid you will become when the team hits the field.

Have a good day.

[BengalByTheBay]

You are a dumb motherf**ker, groundhog day.

You should've seen this other BearCat putz. At least she was a mommy though.

[membengal]

I know she molted. So be it. Whether it is her bearcat persona or this one, the song remains the same. So does the indictment.

Dude, no one here gives a rats ass what you have to say, that's the point. You come here thinking you are the ONLY person who can see the failures of this organization and then bash others for telling you to shut the hell up. It's not that we don't get it. We get it ALL TO WELL. It's that we don't need you spewing that sh*t with every breath you draw. Hell, you can't even go into the smack forum without agreeing with a Browns fan.

As to what kind of board we are trying to run here, we are trying to run one where the members can come and discuss the good and bad without some assh*le discussing the same point over and over again as if we've never heard it. Let me put it another way and this is coming from one of the members here that you have a ton of issues with (ME)... I think the o-line is suspect and could end up getting Carson killed again and resulting in another 4-11-1 season or worse. They need to find anyway necessary to get a pass rush going. I'm not sure if they've done that to this point. Mike Brown is the consumate F*CK UP as an owner who has hindered this organization in ways most fans never thought possible.

I believe the things I just wrote are firmly the truth. Thing is, I'm aware that most if not ALL of the members here ALREADY know this and don't need to continue to bring it up like they'ver never heard or thought it. I choose to be optimistic, because I am a fan. You choose to continue being negative thinking you are being an honest insightful fan. You are the one that needs to get over yourself or yes, you will be the one no longer here to make things miserable for the members that have been here far longer than you and are vastly more informed. Then again, you could always leave and save us all the effort.

You couldn't even complete a post about how you feel about me and this board without throwing in how you feel about the organization with your last sentence.

I'm not, nor have I been "mad" at you. Disappointed would the better word to use what I think of you. Then again, why would you care ??

[BengalByTheBay]

I know she molted. So be it. Whether it is her bearcat persona or this one, the song remains the same. So does the indictment.

I'm down Mem. Just trying to provide a little levity so's you don't get too po'd. It's her m.o. as I know all too well. It's easy to never lose a disagreement when you refuse to consider anybody's opinion but your own. Cheers!

[derekshank]

As funny as Bearcat's presence has been the last couple of weeks with the momslikeme.com fiasco... it appears that the humor has left to be replaced by the second coming of the lashing out in anger phase. So I'll give anyone within earshot the same piece of advice that has made this forum bearable for me the last few months. Ignore, ignore, ignore.

It's sad that it has to come to this, but he'll never shut up. Especially if he's getting all the attention it appears he craves so much and couldn't get from Cincy area moms.

Here's a quote that has never led me astray. "Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level, and defeat you with experience!"

[ArmyBengal]

"Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level, and defeat you with experience!"

Nice quote Derek. I gave up the ignore feature, but get why others won't.

[Ickey44]

So, seriously, now, go f**k yourself with a rhino sized dildo and die.

I literally laughed for about five minutes after reading that. Bravo, membengal. You made my day.

[HairOnFire]

Now it looks like it will cost the Bengals almost double to retain his services.

How do you figure the cost has doubled? Are you using some secret version of arithmetic taught only in military schools and day care facilities?

You won't have to speculate much longer... preseason will soon be here. Then we will see about the oline, along with the rest of the glaring issues the Bengals didn't take care of this offseason. Meanwhile, back in douschebagland, you'll be "business as usual, waiting for next season" I am sure... Enjoy that.

And speaking of douchebags, I see you didn't bother attempting to explain your empty-headed claim the Bengals failure to extend Opie will now force them to pay him twice the amount he would have previously accepted.

Frankly, it's easy to understand why so many have chosen to ignore your yammerings when even you can't or won't explain 'em.

[ArmyBengal]

Quite frankly, I didn't think there was anyone on this forum more ignorant than Bearcat/Groundhog Day/Cincy Mom Wannabe.....Wow.

[HairOnFire]

For the record, I don't like it when other posters are banned, and no matter how worthess I might consider their opinions to be I've never once been tempted to use the ignore feature.

Rather, I'm a big fan of heaping mocking abuse on those I don't like. In fact, I sometimes engage in this sort of activity even when I like the poster I'm attacking. (It's true!) So no matter what happens in the near future I will NOT ignore Bearcat.

Rather, I intend to punish Bearcat by acknowledging his presence, and I vow to kill whatever small token of credibility he may have left.

Happily, thanks to the fine folks at Google, MomsLikeMe.com, and especially Bearcat himself....I think we're almost there.

[Bearcat1975]

Wow, some of you people have really lost it.

19 years of Bengal-Venom all directed at me. I am touched.

But you know what the funniest part is? All the crap you were roasting me about for saying, you now agree with: "I mean sure the Bengals will be terrible this season again, but stop being so negative."

The "cincymoms thing"

Saying that I agreed with the Browns fan in this thread:
/>http://forums.bengalszone.com/index.php?showtopic=19771&st=20&#entry281693

"All he does is bash Mike Brown." Oops, that was disproven by CentralOhioBengal himself.

"Well...well..what I meant to say is, all he does is bash the Bengals." Oops, that was proven wrong too.

"Well...well...he's negative and will render the board unusable." What?

"He's a Steelers fan!" Nope. Try again.I hate the Steelers and I am jealous of them at the same time.

"Well...well...then he is a Browns fan!"

Its as if facts and basic logic are completely irrelevant to some of you.

I'll tell you what I am going to do, and sadly, this will probably give a few of you wood right away. I won't make another post here (on the Bengals board) until the Bengals do something worthy of a compliment. Smith signing, extending Opie, Palmer winning player of the week, whatever... And when the Bengals actually do something worthy of praise, I will be the first to praise Mike Brown and the Bengals for it.

Now let me tell you the hilarious part. There are a number of you whose thought processes just went like: "Sweet! That means we won't hear from him all season long!! (wait for it...5...4...3...2...1...) Aww man... that means the Bengals are going to suck again too."

So enjoy this time, gents. And feel free to take a few parting shots as well. I will probably read them, simply because your rants and playground insults are pretty funny sometimes. Yes...enjoy this time, it is the best time of year to be a Bengals fan. (Before the product hits the field, but after the hit in the bank account from season tickets has disappeared from the 1st page of the bank account statement)

My only question (and it is a rhetorical one) is, with all the venom many of you here show me for pointing out the obvious, who will you direct your venom towards when the Bengals start pointing out the obvious themselves here in a couple of weeks?

Let me break it down for you all, since many here have trouble with the whole "facts" concept.

STAGE 1: "Its just the preseason. Those games don't matter."

STAGE 2: "Its just the first couple of games. They'll get on track."

STAGE 3: "If they can just win out from here, they can do it."

STAGE 4: "No playoffs but they looked pretty sharp at the end considering all the bad luck they have had this season."

STAGE 5: "We didn't need those players we lost to free agency anyway."

STAGE 6: "The draft will fix everything."

STAGE 7: "I really think this year could be the year!"

STAGE 8: Put head back in sand with butt in the air, wallet sticking out.

P.S. Lets also not forget what started all this venom. Me pointing out how STUPID it is to say that a team like the Bengals have bandwagon fans. The Bengals haven't been relevant since 2k5 and before that, you have to go back to Nirvana,Pearl Jam, and everyone wearing flannel shirts to find any Bengal relevance.

But they have a bandwagon though. Its parked in between the Montreal Expos and Detroit Lions bandwagon. And all the bandwagon fans are hiding behind it, that's why you can't see them.

[ArmyBengal]

Hey smart guy. There are many here that can relate to some of your rantings like the ones I've discussed. It's not something we are "JUST NOW GETTING". You didn't impart that wisdom on anyone. What the hell is your problem anyway ?? You can't be this d*mn dumb.

Don't turn tail just because you take a daily beating here. Take it in stride or leave completely. I mean they are your words, so own them.

Hear from you, don't hear from you makes me no difference. Do what you need to do, because if you left, you would soon be forgotten.

Members on this forum have pointed out the failings of this organization for way longer than I've been a member here and will continue to do so long after I'm gone (thinking the board lasts for some time). The thing with you, AGAIN, is you think you are enlightening everyone with the same thing that is NOTHING NEW for anyone who has been a fan of the Bengals. It's a simple concept you fail to understand.

You make this board more difficult than what it needs to be, I will say that.

[Jet23]

Bearcat can't leave. This chit was getting way too funny. I wanted to get his opinion of the show 16 and Pregnant on MTV...

[Ickey44]

Wow, some of you people have really lost it.

You should really take a long look in the mirror before you say something like that about anyone else.

[HairOnFire]

I won't make another post here (on the Bengals board) until the Bengals do something worthy of a compliment. Smith signing, extending Opie, Palmer winning player of the week, whatever...

Raise the bar. Since you've done nothing but whine and cry about past futility I say you should prove your mettle by withholding every little crumb of your individual fandom until the Bengals earn a playoff berth.

So enjoy this time, gents. And feel free to take a few parting shots as well.

No, let's try to remember the good times. For example, do you still remember those heady days when you fantasized about how YOU might be the one to pull the sword from the stone? How you were going to thump my mellon on a daily basis until I learned proper posting manners?

Man, those were some good times.

I missed that earlier, mostly because I didn't feel like wading through that entire post full of bulls**t, but are you trying to make a dramatic exit? Are we all supposed to beg you to stay? Do you really think we care if you go, or more importantly, if you come back? Good riddance.

So enjoy this time, gents.

So it's goodbye, eh? Before you go, I seek your counsel. My neice has a 4-month-old infant that has the most stubborn case of diaper rash our family has ever encountered. We've tried powder, creme, and two different types of diapers. What should we do next? Please help, this is one bad case of diaper rash!
