Anyone who thought the Bengals were standing for character was conned.  Those of you who felt that way are mad.  You got sucked in.  PLEASE !

When did the NFL stand for character ? 

Do they all of a sudden stand for character because a former PR man is putting his foot down on the Pacman's of the world ?

The NFL is about making $$$$$$. 

They don't care about players. 

They don't care about the old former players.

Players are a resource.  Use them up and get another one.

Look at all the old football players who have problems.  Lots of good guys like former Bengal Reggie Williams.

Because they feel desperate, they believe they need Slim to win.  They meaning Mike.

Mike WANTS Henry back because that's the only way he seems to know how to win. 

Such a smart man who isn't smart when it comes to the draft.  If he never drafted Henry, he wouldn't bring him back to win.  And he wants to win.  Trust me !

Second of all I WOULD NEVER HAVE DRAFTED CHRIS HENRY.  NEVER  NEVER NEVER.

If I ran a team, I'd hire a few MIT or Harvard grads who were geeks and loved football, and they would do background checks of everyone who might be drafted.  I'd be having lists put together like crazy. It's something you do year round.

So you say NEXT when a player has a red flag.  Big deal.  Move on.

I WOULD TOUCH NO ONE THAT HAD A CHARACTER PROBLEM.  COACHES CAN BE IDIOTS.  GM'S ALSO.  THEY HAVE TO HAVE A GUY.  EXCUSE ME ?  WHAT ABOUT THE NEXT GUY WHO HAS CHARACTER.  Is the next guy on your list that bad ?

To me this is as ridiculous as a team taking a catcher in the first round when the next pitcher might be 3 or 4 down on your list.  How bad is that pitcher ?  Is it a stretch ??  And how often does the guy 5 slots down in the same round turn out better because a draft is a crapshoot.

Draft pitching in baseball early and often.

Why wouldn't you send Mario Soto out to look at some of the pitchers before you drafted them ?   

Sports is life. It's common sense.  AND THE CINCY TEAMS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH OF THAT. 

Draft characters who can play.  So, they are three to five slots down on your list.  Who can you count on more ????

Do that and pick the right players AND things change in Cincy.  This ain't brain surgery.

So, all the comments about Chris Henry coming back never would happen with me in charge.  He would never have gotten one of my chinstrips.

I laughed when I heard Mike was taking Chris back.  WHY WOULD ANYONE BE SURPRISED.  MIKE HAS DONE THE SAME THING FOR YEARS. He wants to win, and he's a smart guy who won't change.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
