Have I just missed the fines & suspensions for the Stealers? I'm sure I just missed it, right? No chance they are all ignored. That would be inconceivable.

I just read what Marvin had to say today about this situation and I have never been prouder of him. I wish he would speak up like this more often. I wish the entire organization was on the freaking attack talking the same exact way, but good for Lewis for speaking his mind and making sense of the matter.

I seriously cannot even believe they gave him 5 games for this shit. It feels like the NFL fucks the Bengals so bad... then time passes and I convince myself that I am just a fan that is programmed to feel that my team is singled out. Then it happens again. And again. And again. It makes it difficult to care. It makes it difficult not to wish bad things on certain mother fuckers. The only justice that can possibly happen on this is for there to be a complete reversal and no suspension at all. Anything else is utter bullshit.

What Marvin should really be worried about is not saying stupid shit. Just don't give any comment about it. NEVER, EVER, EVER, talk about discipline or fines or looking out for the kids, b/c the organization that you work for is the easiest target in the NFL.

That was my thought as well. When/If Gio is 100%, and Mixon is carrying the load (which I think happens week 1), the 3rd active RB simply has to play special teams.

What are the chances that Hill has weeks where he is not active on game day?

I actually wish I could say I'd take it over $5k... but I'd be lying. Shit I'd take $1k. I may... MAY take a super bowl over $500, but it would not be an easy decision.

If the dude is smart enough to do it, he could carve out a pretty good living by embracing special teams. He should take a look at Cedric Peerman and think about his longevity on this team.

On 31 other teams, I would think Pac, Michael Johnson, and Hill, would be prime candidates to be cut from this roster. But this organization, I'm assuming all 3 of them not only make the team, but take snaps that they probably should not be taking.

I'd give the Cardinals a call too & see if they have any interest for pick 45

I will flat out lose it if Hooker in particular is available & they don't grab him. He was the best center field safety that I have seen that can play within the new rules of football as they are today. The dude covered so much ground at times it was truly hard to believe. He took perfect angles and played the ball perfectly. The best thing is he has barely played football in the grand scheme of things... I don't think he has scratched the surface of what he could become.

I am coming around on Ross. I've listened to every Lap interview I could find and his enthusiasm about him is starting to pump me up. I look at it this way, if the guy were to catch a half a dozen long balls in the season next year, then he is adding enough value for me. Injury is the obviously the big worry for me, but it only takes 1 play for everyone on the roster when it comes to injury.

Me too. Sometimes it honestly seems like that MF'er Mike Brown won't do things that everybody wants, just b/c everybody wants it.

I might agree if not for the 10 different times this has hit the news rounds. The day after it happened, the team response release, the cruiser video, the station video, the report of rehab (or whatever), the coach comment, the owner comment, and now him showing his ass again to a reporter. It is simply enough already. It would be enough already if you DID NOT factor in his history of being a lawbreaker, a hot head on the field, and an overall jackass... but if you do add that all together, it sure adds up to a dumb fuck being out of the league entirely. ****unless of course he is under contract with the Bengals.
