ANOTHER Bengal Arrested

Bengals guard Eric Steinbach was arrested and charged with boating under the influence on the Ohio River, becoming the fifth Cincinnati player in three months accused of breaking the law.

Was this because Eric was driving the boat or drinking in a boat?

On a related note, the organization is now watching fans that create disruptive behavior; drunkenness, excessive cursing, fighting. The penalty ranges from warnings to losing your season tickets.

Love the Jerk Line

Kudos to the Bengals for coming up with a jerk line for fans to call and report obnoxious patrons at Bengals home games. A fan can pay upwards of $100 bucks to enjoy an afternoon football game and if you get stuck sitting near just one jackass, you're good time can be ruined.

Of course, now when players call up to the booth from the sideline, given the Bengals character issues, you can't help but wonder if they aren't dialing 381-JERK.

You'd be surprised

...at the amount of backlash I'm finding among the Bengals community. A lot of people are complaining of "Big Brother". I'm guessing most of those complaints come from either those that don't go to the games, or are the ones that would be kicked out.
