Clemons a No Show

[bengalskyspy]

What's up with D Clemons being AWOL for "voluntary" mini camp? His agent said he was not holding out, but offered no explanation that I've seen. I don't know about you, but I thought the days of "voluntary" were over with the ML era beginning.

I read reports his wife just had a baby.

If its not his first (child), its a lame excuse.

I disagree.

If he's missing due to a baby, then good for him. It's about time someone put their family above work...

Gimme a break, Skyline . . . what's he going to do? Feed the infant? Babysit the older kids? Unless there are complications, a one day absence is all that's necessary. After all, that's why God invented Mother-in-laws. (There has to be some reason!)

Gee, maybe he's spending time with his wife, giving her the attention and help she needs with a newborn, thus saving his marriage.

Having been married almost 20 years, with 2 great kids and two teenagers (who are currently for sale!), I firmly believe in family values and helping out at home. BUT => we're talking about a 3 day mini-camp amidst a 5 month 'vacation'. If big DC is a no show, how does Marvin know what kind of shape he's in? Ask Jay Hayes? He should be here for at least a couple of days, especially with a new DC.

I'm not convinced that Clemmons has drunk the ML cool aid yet, and buddy it's time to cowboy up. Geathers is more than a threaT FOR YOUR POSITION...so do a Warrick and start fighting for your life, or you'll be lucky to be a change of pace or 3rd down or pass rush end. Get in their with a chip on your shoulder...start talking some smack, drink a cup of quarteback's blood a day, and start praying to Satan (okay maybe this is a bit far, but keep the blood part).

We want hunger, optimism, selflessness, and hard work. ML wants this team to be the most feared group on the NFL...Is it in you?

[IfItsBrownFlushItDown]

Who cares? They moved Justin Smith into his spot for a reason.

[TJJackson]

There you go, BO...much better

The image is just as disturbing as any, and yet only upon close inspection does one know just exactly how disturbing the image is. A passer by has no idea how bad it is.

Thanks (I think?)

[The Big Orange]

Thanks Jackson, I appreciate the vote of confidence. I'm doing all I can to hold back on a really fat lady only holding a box of Valentines chocolates. Maybe you're having a positive affect on me. Wouldn't it be funny if you and I became friends...maybe you could help me out, 'cause I think I've got issues.

I read reports his wife just had a baby.

From where? From what I said on go-bengals.com? All I was saying, was instead of jumping to conclusions and wanting the guy cut from the team for not showing up to the mini camps, let's wait and find out the reason.

David Pollack will miss the last 3 days of mini camp next week, is he a bum?
