The AFC North version of the Blog Network caught up with Cincinnati Bengals safety Chinedum Ndukwe to discuss, among other things, his summer trip to Africa and his long-standing friendship with Browns quarterback Brady Quinn.

[b]1. You spent a lot of time in your native Nigeria this summer. How was that experience?

Chinedum Ndukwe:[/b] It was a humbling experience. I have an opportunity to be doing what I'm doing here in the United States, and the trip makes me appreciate everything that I have. I've been blessed with my family, and I saw family that I never met before. My mom is a nurse and she ran a free clinic at my uncle's hospital. We're talking to them about possibly doing a (football) camp next year and down the road maybe having a sports academy.

[b]2. Being from Columbus, Ohio, what did you make of Carson Palmer's recent comments against Ohio State?

CN:[/b] I think it's all in good fun. He went to USC, so I understand where he's coming from. You have to have pride in your school, and obviously he does.

[b]3. What did you learn from your older brother, Ike, who has been in the NFL for a little longer than you have?

CN:[/b] I think the biggest thing is football turns into a business. The purest form of football is in high school. But eventually it turns into a business. There's no hard feelings when decisions are made, and that's just the way it is.

[b]4. How far back does your friendship go with Quinn, who was a former teammate high school and college?

CN:[/b] It goes back to seventh grade when we were playing football together. This is actually the second year that we haven't played football together and been on the same team with him. It's a little bit different. But I can't wait until he's starting and I'm starting consistently, so we can develop a little rivalry.

[b]5. That brings me to my final question: who will start first?

CN:[/b] Well, I already have the claim to fame of being the first NFL starter at the end of last year. So I got the one-up. But we're both obviously in a battle right now and it's part of football. It's fun.[/quote]

[quote name='whodey1971' post='684414' date='Aug 5 2008, 08:42 AM']Fox Sports Ohio had a Bengals Training Camp special on last night after the Reds game. One segment was on Ndukwe...basically the camera followed him around for a while. [b]He seems very likeable[/b].[/quote]

Which is unusual for a Notre Dame grad.

Speaking of Brady Quinn ....

[quote]Training Camp Aug. 3 - What that Line is Doing & More QB Stuff
By George M. Thomas
It's time that Cleveland's football fans deal with reality.

Heck, I'll confess that it's time I deal with reality because I'm still lukewarm on Derek Anderson. Listening to the fans at training camp chant: "Brady! Brady!" makes me wonder what they're thinking. Folks, Derek Anderson is your quarterback. PERIOD. STOP. IT. NOW.

There's no getting around it. And Anderson showed why he is on the field during Sunday's lone practice. While the guy's definitely got the arm and the confidence in that arm to be a gunslinger, he showed some patience Sunday and in Friday's practice at Cleveland Browns Stadium. In the matter of a couple of seconds, Anderson went through his progressions on more than a few plays. Look left. Look down the center of the field. Look right. BOOM! Ball.

At times, Quinn looks to stil be struggling with that and his accuracy. He continues to overthrow wide open receivers. In short: unless Anderson turns into the second coming of Paul McDonald, Quinn will be holding a clipboard this year.[/quote]

I just sold my house in KY (after 19 months) but Chinedum actually went through the house with my realtor. Just not close enough to the stadium for him (25 minute drive). Would have been cool to have sat down with him at closing.

My raeltor said he was an incredibly nice guy. One of her favorites now. Her husband used to be their physical therapist...then Mikey got cheaper.

yeah, if that was an attempt to be funny they failed miserably. They look a little too gleeful in that picture.
Brady Quinn....what a fuckin pillowbiter. Though I'd let his sister touch my penis.....

Either way, I can't fuckin wait for Anderson to implode so we can witness the inevitable trainwreck that is/will be Brady Quinn.
Enjoy the show Browns fans.

Yeah, there is no circumstance under which I would do that.





Unless I was gay. ^_^
