stuckincincy Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Bengals sign Carl Pickens to one-day contract. I can still see him catching a pass and extending a finger to team and fans alike. He was/is certifiable. It was him that caused the b'gals to include a deportment clause in their contracts...bad-mouth, and repay signing bonus. That was despised by the NFLPA and was dealt away for good in the negotiations for the recent CBA. Too bad...Ocho Dinko and other infants on other teams would have found themselves on the outside looking in with empty pockets if those owner idiots (30 out of 32) didn't knuckle under.

stuckincincy Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Seems that Ocho Dinko acted up in class... Only in Bengals' dreams Will self-indulgent Chad finally heed wake-up call? Paul Daugherty, Cincinnati Enquirer 11/21/08 ...The details emerged throughout the day Thursday. Chad overslept and arrived late to a meeting of the offense at the team hotel Wednesday night. Or, Chad was on time, but slept his way through the proceedings. Offensive coordinator Bob Bratkowski told Chad to wake up and sit up straight - things you'd tell a third-grader. Chad couldn't deal with that, evidently. He stormed out, chased by Marvin Lewis, who told him to go home."... http://news.cincinnati.com/article/2008112...0394/1007/SPT02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The storming out & heated words with the HC parts are bad though. I missed it, but have been told that both D. Sanders and Sapp defended Chad's actions and thought Lewis went to far. Anyone hear this from the former players' mouths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuckincincy Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 Being late to or even falling asleep in a meeting can be overlooked. It generally isn't. It's a team, and not showing up on time is a no-no, a slap to the other players IMO. It's also a useful tool for clubs attempting to keep rein of a bunch of primadonna millionaires. Many think that those incidences that result in a team not starting a starter for the first few plays are meaningless. Not so - player contracts pay good $$$ to players for a game start. Nothing like a bite in the wallet to focus a fellow's attention... I'd like to be given ownership of an NFL team. And I'd put it on the market the next day.

Steely Dan Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 If anyone gives a flying . The guy I was playing against only got 1 point from Whosyourmama. I should send Pittsburgh's defense a thank you card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
