Here's a real think piece from ESPN 1250/Beaver County Times sports personality Mark Madden: are the Steelers no different from the Bengals?As Mr. Madden points out, the number of current Steelers involved in domestic abuse cases has risen to an alarming four: Najeh Davenport, Santonio Holmes, James Harrison, and Cedrick Wilson. But why do the Steelers' incidents mostly fly under the radar, while the Bengals are a national punchline?Looks like a misbehaving Brady BunchSays the Super Genius:Make no mistake, this is epidemic. Steelers fans glory in knocking the Cincinnati Bengals for all their legal peccadilloes, but eight percent of the Steelers’ roster has been involved in domestic abuse. Yet few seem to care.

STEELERS (9-3) 24BENGALS (4-8) 10It was pretty sweet to watch Pitt spoil West Virginia's season on Saturday night. But Sunday night was a different kind of sweet. The Steelers effectively closed the door on Cincinnati's 2007 season, the same season that according to some was supposed to end with the vision of Chad Johnson and T.J. Houshmandzadeh wearing Super Bowl rings. The nation can now see that for the illusion that it was. In what's becoming a tradition, Heinz Field was the site of an ugly, nationally-televised football game, although this time the field wasn't nearly as sloppy as the play. A gamelog would probably look something along the lines of "Palmer incomplete, Palmer incomplete, Palmer incomplete, Cincinnati punt, Parker fumble" over and over. If you thought Carson threw a lot of incompletions, you were correct: he finished 17-for-44, a whopping 38.6% completion percentage. Meanwhile, across the field, Ben Roethlisberger managed an effective 21-for-32 (65.6%), with 2 T
Typically when the Arizona Cardinals win, it is usually a result of the offensive side of the ball. Not this weekend; cornerback Antrel Rolle’s three interceptions, 2 returned for touchdowns, were the key in Arizona’s win over the Cincinnati Bengals 35-27 at a shell-shocked Paul Brown Stadium.
In the first quarter, both teams scored a TD each; Arizona on Rolle’s first of 3 interceptions, and Cincinnati on a nifty 19-yard pass from quarterback Carson Palmer to wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh, knotting the score at 7. Bengals kicker Shayne Graham would kick 2 field goals in the second quarter, sandwiching a Warner-to-Anquan Boldin 44-yard TD pass, making the score 14-13 Arizona. Another Warner TD pass, this one a 5-yarder to WR Larry Fitzgerald, enabled the Cardinals to take a 21-13 halftime lead.
At 12:59 of the 3rd quarter, Arizona RB Edgerrin James would score a TD from 3 yards out, extending the Cards’ lead to 28-13, but Cincinnati would score twice in

In a game that the Cincinnati Bengals simply had to have if they are going to turn their season around, they used little known running back Kenny Watson to run all over the New York Jets in a 38-31 win at Paul Brown Stadium. Watson, the 7th year back playing for the injured Rudi Johnson, ran for 130 yards on 31 carries and three TD’s. He scored on runs of 1 and two yards in the second half, helping the Bengals overcome a 13-point third quarter deficit.
Trailing 20-10 at the half and 23-10 in the third quarter, the Bengals woke up on both sides of the ball, and outscored the Jets 28-8 to end the contest to improve to 2-4. The Jets, who made the playoffs as a wild card last year, drop to 1-6. They were 10-6 last season. Carson Palmer threw for 226 yards on 14-for-21 passing.

The first four weeks of the 2007 NFL Season have been maddening! And I’m not talking John(sorry, couldn’t resist!) The inconsistencies vary from week to week where a team looks like a 98 pound weakling one week, and a super hero the next. There has however been one constant amidst all the flux of the “Season of the Bizarre” and that has been the sheer domination of the New England Patriots. And Monday night in front of a national audience they once again made an opponent embarrassed as they beat up on the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati 34-13.

A few months back, I threw out a challenge to the followers of every other NFL team out there: tell us why your team will be better than the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2007. Plenty of eager writers told you exactly why they thought they'll be superior to the black and gold. Several teams had authors lined up that apparently backed out (probably due to the fact that they had no argument), and sadly, I thought Cincinnati's rep was going to be one of them. But fear not, my inbox found one last essay in this series. And after their showing on Sunday, I'd love to hear more on this topic.Today's author goes only by the name of Jason, although if I was a Bengal fan I'd prefer to remain semi-anonymous as well.

Every time one of your fantasy football players goes up against the best defenses in the league there is a temptation to bench 'em. While this is understandable, it is not always your best option.This Monday night, the Bengals go against the Baltimore Ravens. This affects a number of the top fantasy football players in the league due to the Bengals explosive offense. Here are some key stats for the top Bengals players against the Ravens.Carson Palmer - 91.5 QB rating, 10 touchdowns 7 interceptions in 6 games.Rudi Johnson - 52.7 yards a game, 4 TDs in 9 games.Chad Johnson - 61 receptions...76.8 yards per game...6 TDs in 12 games.T.J. Houshmandzadeh - 55 receptions...87.1 yards per game...5 TDs in 4 games.Based on these stats, it seems very safe to play Palmer and TJ on Monday. The only players that warrant hesitation are CJ and Rudi Johnson. However, there numbers, although below par, are not terrible. If you have a deep bench at RB, you may have someone that can replace Rudi Johnson t

By Jennifer Jordan With the arrest of Miami wide receiver Chris Chambers this past weekend, some might start to wonder if the Dolphins have evolved into Bengals over the off season. Chambers, a 2005 pro bowler and star of, ahem, my fantasy team, was picked up in North Carolina for driving while impaired, reckless driving, and speeding on July 14th. With the arrest, Chambers is now the third Dolphin to be taken into custody this year. If eight more Dolphins find themselves behind bars, they will pass the Cincinnati Bengals and lead the league in most (jail) yards gained.Besides Chambers, Fred Evans, a defensive tackle with Miami, was arrested on June 23 for trespassing, resisting arrest with violence, disorderly conduct, and battery on a police officer. Joey Porter, the Steeler turned Dolphin, was arrested for a March conflict where he was accused of punching Levi Jones, an offensive lineman for the - go figure - Cincinnati Bengal. Porter was eventually charged with a misdemeanor.So, th
In the aftermath of the season-ending injury to rookie tailback Kenny Irons, the Bengals will look to expand the roles of backups or even sign a veteran off waivers. But they also might be forced to turn even more to their featured back, Rudi Johnson. His workload could increase. He welcomes the additional work. Reported by Mark Curnutte, Cincinnati Enquirer

We think Kenny Watson will end up filling the back up spot, but will lean more on Johnson than ever before. He is coming off of his third straight season of 1,300+ rushing yards and has started all 16 games in each of the past 3 seasons.
Average Draft Position:
Overall: W Parker (8), Rudi Johnson (9), R Bush (10)
Position: W Parker (8-RB8), Rudi Johnson (9 - RB9), R Bush (10-RB10)
My Projections: rush-1286/11 | rec’v-22/132/1
The Bengals have suffered a season ending injury, as second-round pick, running back Kenny Irons will be out for the year after tearing a knee ligament in Thursday’s preseason loss at Detroit. The Auburn back went to the locker room on a cart and was diagnosed with a torn ACL in his left knee. He is expected to make a full recovery and be back on the field by next spring.
Irons was expected to be in the mix as far as backing up feature back Rudi Johnson was concerned. During the preseason outing, Irons ran for 17 yards, including a long gain of 11 yards. Last week he ran for 65 yards on 10 carries in an intersquad scrimmage. He was a stud back in college, as he ran for 108 yards per game in 2005. Last season he was banged up, and ran for 893 yards.
The Bengals running back depth now is down to Kenny Watson, who is basically a third-down back, and Quincy Wilson, who has just two carries in his NFL career. The team also grabbed Curtis Brown after he was cut by the Rai
Cincinnati Bengals rookie running back Kenny Irons, limped off the field on his left ankle after a seven-yard run and was then carted from the sidelines with unspecified left knee and ankle injuries after picking up 17 yards on four carries. Lewis told reporters after the game it’s a significant knee injury and there will an MRI tomorrow. The fear of course, is that Irons may have suffered a season-ending anterior cruciate injury. Reported by Geoff Hobson, Bengals.com
<<<Hotwire>>>
Let’s wait till we hear the results from the MRI, but this is a tough break for the Bengals. Irons was selected in the 2nd round in this years draft and was brought in to challenge Chris Perry, who’s had his own issues with staying on the field and isn’t expected to be completely healthy by the start of the season. Kenny Watson would slide up the depth chart by default.

Chad Johnson didn’t want to leave. When coach Marvin Lewis decided that his Pro Bowl receiver had done enough with three catches during the Bengals’ intrasquad scrimmage Friday night, Johnson waved his arms and pleaded his case for more time. Told that he was finished, Johnson removed his helmet and dropped his head in disgust. With three plays, he did plenty. Johnson had the most impressive play of the scrimmage — no surprise there — and showed that his timing with Carson Palmer is nearly perfect with a month left before the season opener.

He missed two practices, on Friday and on Saturday morning, but reported to camp in time for the Saturday night session at Georgetown College. Leon Hall is listed backup to more…
The Bengals have been dealt a huge blow, as the team was informed that linebacker Odell Thurman’s suspension has been lengthened for another season, meaning that he will NOT be in a Bengals uniform for the 2007 season. The linebacker as well as the team was expecting that he would be reinstated and would be back on the field this season. The agent for Thurman, Safarrah Lawson, said that Thurman had met all requirements of the league’s substance abuse policy.
Thurman was suspended for the 2006 season after he skipped a drug test and then was later arrested for drunken driving. He had asked NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to reinstate him for the 2007 season, but was denied. The team insisted that they were preparing for the season without Thurman, but there seemed to be a underlying tone that they felt he would be back and that he would be able to play as well as he did his rookie season.
The linebacker spot that belonged to Thurman now belongs to Landon Johnson and Ed Hartw
The Cincinnati Bengals continue to wait to hear the fate of linebacker Odell Thurman in regard to his possible reinstatement to the league. The team was hoping that a decision would come down on Monday, but a league spokesman told the Cincy Enquirer that there is nothing to report in the case, leaving the team to wait for today or tomorrow for a decision. The linebacker had applied for reinstatement last month after he was suspended for the entire 2006 season for a third violation of the NFL substance abuse policy.
Thurman had been suspended before for a second violation, and his third offense was a DUI on September 25th of last year. The Bengals believe that a decision on Thurman will come before the team takes the practice field for the first time on Friday at 3 p.m., hoping that their linebacker can be on the field with them if all goes as planned. There is also a chance that head coach Marvin Lewis may wait to let the public know the decision at about reinstatement until their annu

The Cincinnati Bengals have announced their training camp schedule, and the excitement of the 2007 season will begin on July 27th. Training camp highlights include a “mock game”—whatever that is—on August 4th, and a night practice followed by fireworks on August 1st.
I like that the team is having one night practice, but for the sake of the overworked Cincinnati police department shouldn’t they make every practice at night?—preferably between 10 p.m and 4 a.m. That should help keep the players out of trouble. If Roger Goodell is smart he will jump all over this idea.

According to Cincinnati television station WLWT, no charges will be filed against Chris Henry in an alleged assault. The 16-year-old and his family stopped cooperating with police and two other suspects were identified in the attack, Florence police said at a Friday afternoon news conference. Police said the assailants were two Florence men, but officers did not identify them.
The teen had claimed last week that Henry, who is on probation for a 2006 firearm conviction in Florida, and another man jumped from an SUV and assaulted them June 8 near Mount Zion Road. The boy also said Bengals wide receiver Reggie McNeal was inside the vehicle during the attack.
A league source told WLWT after those reports had been made public that the allegations had been fabricated. Henry is among nine Bengals to be arrested since the end of the 2005 season, and he’s not the only troubled player to be the subject of conflicting reports of alleged misbehavior.
Last week two men a
The Florida Gators are lucky Roger Goodell isn’t running the NCAA. Tailback Brandon Powell’s Monday arrest for purchasing 8 grams of marijuana made him the 7th Gator to run into trouble with the law since the team won the National Championship 5 months ago. All this comes after a 2006 season that saw numerous other Gators, including a kicker, run afoul of the law. (When a kicker is accused of providing alcohol to a minor and then using a fake ID, you know the team has problems.)
Meanwhile, doctors might want to make sure Urban Meyer doesn’t injure his neck from looking the other way too much.
“It’s a day-to-day operation,” the coach said last month. “We’ve had a few guys who’ve made some small mistakes, and a guy or two who’ve made some big ones.”
Although it was unthinkable just 18 months ago, I’d like to congratulate Florida for officially passing Miami as the worst behaved college football team in the state.
In a move that brings some quick relief to the Bengals and linebacker Odell Thurman, the two men that accused him of kicking them and hitting them last week at a party have dropped their complaint. The two Georgia men had stated that Thurman assaulated them early Sunday after an argument and a home. They even stated that Thurman’s brother - Willie, threatened them with a gun.
There was talk that the two men were simply out for money, but that was never determined. As for dropping their complaint, the deputy clerk of Magistrate Court in Jasper County did not know why the two men are not going forward against Thurman.
If the two men were out for cash, they went after a player with already enough problems against him. Thurman was suspended by the league last year for skipping a drug test. He then was suspended for the year after his arrest on a drunken driving charge. He is scheduled to apply for reinstatement on Monday with the NFL.
Thurman led the Bengals in tackles i
First the domestic abuse charge filed against A.J. Nicholson last week landed him in the unemployment line. Now it has landed the former Cincinnati Bengals linebacker, released by the team on Monday afternoon, in jail.

When it comes to stupid comments, I guess nowadays in the National Football League it’s not just classified to the players, but to coaches as well. Such was the case on Wednesday, when Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis made a ridiculous statement on ESPN Radio that Bengal players are being pulled over because of profiling at work. Yes, Lewis, who is not running a football team on most days but a home for troubled players, stated that wide out Chris Henry was pulled over for not signaling a turn because of profiling.
Upon it leaking to the masses, the Bengals quickly went into damage control, and Lewis, who is supposed to be the leader of his team, back tracked his statements. “At no point did I say or mean to imply that these issues had anything to do with race,” Lewis stated. “When I spoke of our players being perhaps more subject to scrutiny than others, I was referring to their standing as public figures.” Uh, in other words, what I think Lewis meant was
CINCINNATI (AP) — The Cincinnati Bengals released defensive tackle Sam Adams, who joined the team as a free agent last season, and signed unrestricted free agent Kenderick Allen to a one-year contract on Monday.
The Bengals had brought in the 360-pound Adams to help their defense against the run, but finished 15th in the league on rush defense and 30th overall, allowing 355 yards a game.

They were ranked 8th in total offense and 6th in passing yards per game. After returning from a torn ACL in the first game of the playoffs the season before, Carson Palmer looked to rebound, and rebound he did. He threw for 4,035 yards, which was a career high, he threw 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. And for those impressive numbers he put up he was rewarded with a trip to Hawaii at the season's end.

The Smith count on the Cleveland Browns' roster will move up to 5 today after the Cincinnati Bengals announced on their web site that they will not match the offer given by Cleveland a week ago. Smith will be a nice addition to the Browns front three at an estimated cost of $8 million over a four year period.
Smith began with the Bengals as a backup tackle, and began to expand his role over the past couple years. He played in 13 games in the '05 season and games 1-13 last year before being designated as "inactive".
