TJJackson Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Well, I guess i should start a poll on what should we call the new kicker when he performs, uhm, less than admirablya. Sam SHANKb. Sam WHANKc. Sam WHANKSd. Sam STANKd. SHAM SwankLike I said, an unfortunate name for a kicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat1975 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I was honestly surprised at first glance that Ocho's kicking escapades didn't ring dollar signs of savings in Mike Brown's eyes....but then I remember last season. Mike doesn't want to give "Ocho Twitter" any more cards to play. So an NFL Minimum Kicker signed becomes financially logical decision, even though the idea of Chad as a kicker is not a good one from a win/loss football standpoint.Hilarious how winning isn't even in the decision making process.I struggle to believe Mikey's (or anyone else involved in the signing) brought in a kicker to cover for an injured Graham because of a preschool staring contest. Someone has to kick the ball, and despite the novelty... nobody ever took Chad seriously as a long term possibility.If it were financially viable, I would not put it past Mike Brown to bring up the idea in a coaches meeting. Especially since Opie looks to be ready for week one so it isn't a long term solution they are looking for.What, you don't see make the obvious connection Groundhog makes? That being, 1. An NFL kicker strains his groin. 2. The NFl team goes out and signs a kicker to take his place in a couple preseason games. 3. Obviously this shows how the owner doesn't care about winning!Wake up TDB. Did you hear there were some clouds in the sky in Cincinnati this morning? Damn you Mike Brown, why don't you want to win? (shakes fist at cosmos)Your Bengal gulibility reminds me of the Arnold Schwarzeneger character in Twins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COB Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 I just can't understand the logic in your post about Ocho kicking. Mike doesn't want to use him + Mike then signs a fill in guy to kick in a couple pre-season games = Mike Brown doesn't care about winning. It's like saying my car got a flat tire, so I put the doughnut spare on until I get the tire fixed, and this shows I don't care if my car runs or not. I just struggled to find any reason or logic behind your post. PS - I can't remember that Twins movie, other than I know I saw it and the characters wore a lot of pastel colors. That's it.

Wow, THAT'S how you interpreted the point I was making?Wow.It's like saying my car got a flat tire, so I put the doughnut spare on until I get the tire fixed, and this shows I don't care if my car runs or not.Yeah...that's what it is like... I just struggled to find any reason or logic behind your post. I can see that. But rather than me explain it again, scroll back up and give it another shot. If you still come to the same conclusion, then I don't know what to tell you. You seem like a bright enough fellow, but when it comes to the Bengals its like you turn into a retard or something. I can't help you there. Good luck!PS - I can't remember that Twins movie, other than I know I saw it and the characters wore a lot of pastel colors. That's it.I know. Remembering stuff is hard for a lot of people. But just remember one thing: Having a poor memory actually makes you better suited to be a Bengals fan.

COB Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 But just remember one thing: Having a poor memory actually makes you better suited to be a Bengals fan.I read your post again and I still don't get it. And having a poor memory makes you better at a lot of things. Too good a memory and the psychological scar tissue builds up until all that crap in your memory make it impossible for you to putt, close the sale, do the surgery, throw the ball over the plate, cover the receiver, or, in your case, write 5 coherent sentences.

His/her interpretation is that Mikey thought it cheaper to sign a throw away kicker than give Ocho a raise. Which we all know Mikey will not do. Thus making MammaBear's post, as usual, completely pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HairOnFire Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 TDB has been out of the loop for a while remember ?? Allow me...TDB, meet Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day, TBD...I'm sure you two will hit it off right from the start. Whose to say TDB and Groundhog haven't met before? After all, Groundhog posted here for some time as Bearcat1975, and it's possible they swapped posts a few times when Groundhog was using that name. And due to the unfortunate name change it's even possible TDB has unknowingly read Bearcat's musings on other websites. For example, MomsLikeMe.com. Other examples include....

Kind of tortured logic and tortured syntax all in one post, but I see it now. I disagree that hiring a kicker to kick instead of risking the groin/hamstring of your receiver somehow shows you don't care about winning.
