    From Bengals luncheon

    Suspended wide receiver Chris Henry has said the Bengals would be interested in his return to the team.

    Marvin Lewis said there is no interest from the Bengals.

    "I'm not interested," Lewis said. "It's not productive for our football team. You have to be a productive part to be an NFL player. There are responsibilities of being an NFL football player. It's not a right."

    * Just got done with Mike Brown, there will be some video coming up...

    But some quick bits:

    Mike Brown on the team's relationship with Chad Johnson: "I consider it healed -- being a miracle worker."

    "We need him. He's an intregral part of the team. He's a brilliant player and I'd hat to see us without him."

    "I can just repeat Chad Johnson is one of the greatest players we've ever had here."

    * Mike Brown on Carson Palmer's statement about Ohio State:

    "I don't know if he knows my dad coached them to two straight wins over USC, 33-0, 26-12. If he wants to make something out of it, he knows where to find me."

    Brown said it in jest and made it known that he thought it was funny.

    * "We disappointed ourselves last season, we disappointed our fans."

    * "The world is divided by redeemers and non-redeemers. I guess I'm a redeemer."

    Since Marvin is denying interest in Chris Henry, Mike Brown is probably handing him a contract as I type this. He has a history of not telling the truth as I'm sure you are aware.

    I think Mike Brown meant "integral"; "intrical" is not a word.

    I'm not the biggest Mike Brown fan, but at least somebody around here has a realistic grasp on the Palmer comments, sheesh...
