Well, well, well! Terrell Owens finally got a job, 2 days before NFL training Camp starts. Today the Cincinnati Bengals signed T.O. to a one year, two million dollar contract (less than half of what he was asking for at the beginning of free agency). Why the Bengals didn’t sign Owens four months ago when he first visited, leaves room for speculation.
From the beginning I’ve always thought they should’ve signed healthy, proven producer Owens over Bryant who was coming off a knee injury. No bias in regard to either player, TO just seemed like the smart choice from a winning standpoint. As I said back in March they both have “attitude problems” so why not take the healthy player. Turns out Bryant may be on his way to the PUP list.
All I can say is that if Marvin Lewis hasn’t earned his check any other season he certain will this year. As a matter of fact, from now on I will be referring to him as Joe Clark. The 2010 Bengals squad this year has me wondering if the they should change the name of Paul Brown Stadium to fair Eastside High. If Marvin Lewis, Chad Ochocinco, Terell Owens, Antonio Bryant, Tank Johnson, Cedric Benson, Adam Jones, and Frostee Rucker don’t sound like a great cast for the NFL remake of Lean on Me then I don’t know who does.
With Chad Ochocinco , Dhani Jones, Owens and the rest of that cast of characters on the roster, I’m not sure if I want to see the Bengals play football or tape a reality show this season. The reality show MIGHT be more entertaining. Hard Knocks came a season too early.
Lewis seems to do a great job with all of his players, and from what I’ve seen and heard they respect him a great deal. He is one of the few coaches out there willing to give guys a fair shot, I hope the recognize and appreciate that.
I Hope Marvin can keep the boys in line, otherwise his team meetings may go a little something like this
