The Lockout is Over! Or so say the Bengals.

Any owner that can say “I’m not expecting [Carson Palmer] to be back. Carson signed a contract, he made a commitment. He gave us his word. We relied on his word and his commitment. We expected him to perform here." with a straight face and somehow trying to stand behind the integrity of an NFL contract is a first class douche... Congrats Mike Brown, winner of the Pro Sports Douche Bag Owner of the Year award.

I will assume that Mr. Brown will be honoring all contacts signed by the Bengals from this point forward... It will be nice for players on the Bengals roster to know that they will never be cut to bring someone else in or as a salary cap move.... Apparently the Bengals will be honoring their word and their commitment to all contracts....

You are surprised by this? Everyone here knows that Mike Brown is a douche nozzle.

Hell, probably could not have recalled the name if put on the spot and I watched every episode of the 2009 season of HBO's Hard Knocks....:-)

But I know the name now....and have imprinted opinion...

Mike Brown will be honoring his commitment to attempt to put a competitive team on the field. Unfortunately he will be finishing last in the division again. :-)

I think it would be hilarious if Carson shows up for camp after they sign a veteran QB and force them to pay him, the veteran, and Dalton (whom will be paid like a first rounder). Then Mike has to cut him. Carson will likely retire and laugh all the way to the bank and he still wins. There is no senario that Mike Brown wins in this. :-)

Nice first showing for the Bengals. The worst team in football recently just drug the worst team in the AFC North. :-)

Things aren't looking good for my boy LeFevour. :-)

Moderators...let's just go ahead and delete this entire thread!

Rick Reilly is a genius. Mike Brown is a moron.

Two preseason games in:
10 total points from the offense to 61 given up.
6 turnovers to 0 takeaways.
408 yards total to 728 yards given up.

Going to be a long year for the Bungles. The whole city might be on suicide watch because the Reds and Bengals both suck this year. What is Dan going to do if the Suckeyes Suck? :-) :-)
[Reply]

Anyone picking up half priced preseason tickets to tomorrow's game? :-)
[Reply]

are they paying us half of the ticket price to go?
[Reply]

Who Dey! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)
[Reply]

The Bengals beat the worst team in the league last year, at home, in a preseason game, and it might be the best win of the year for them. :-)
[Reply]

+1 Not looking forward to this season... no matter how much I try to disown the Bengals something won't let me. But hey at least we will have the #1 draft pick in 2012!
[Reply]

Hell, the way we played against the Bungles on Thursday night, it looks like we're gonna get the number one pick again. First we draft Cam, next we might take Luck.:-)
[Reply]

3 first round QB's in 3 years? Sounds like Mike Brown drafting on that team. :-)
[Reply]

Look at Mike Brown as a person/owner and look at his history of mis-management and only caring about his pocket book. The product on the field will never be championship quality because Mike Brown doesn't care. :-)
[Reply]

We do like to draft QBs lately. Clausen, Armanti Edwards, Cam. Why not get Luck next?:-) He probably wouldn't sign if we drafted him anyway. If he does decide to go pro, he'll probably by dying to go to SF.
[Reply]

Edwards isn't a QB, but I see your point. Luckily the Bengals appear to be trying for the #1 pick this year. They might be able to beat the 49'ers and the Browns at home this season. :-)

Mike Brown will still find a way to get the worst out of a top 10 pick. AJ Green looks like he might pan out, but his first rounders of late haven't been all that great. I am still wondering why Mike Brown didn't trade down to Atlanta for 5 picks to let them take Green and still be able to pick Julio Jones. Mike Brown's incompetence knows no bounds. :-)
