Around SBN: Notre Dame's Turnaround: How Have The Irish Done It?

Sunday morning links

Ben Utecht's decision to leave Indianapolis has more to do with opportunities than finances.

Chris Henry's house will go up for auction on Tuesday (May 22), 9 a.m. at the Boone County Justice Center in Burlington. The house is valued at $365,000 and if you don't have 10% -- if you win the bid -- then don't even bother.

Here's a transcripts of Marvin Lewis' and Bob Bratkowski's press conference after the first OTA.

Marvin Lewis meets Arnold Palmer before the shotgun start of the Marvin Lewis' Celebrity Golf Tournament.

Geoff Hobson takes a look at wide receivers -- we'll be doing that too later -- and wonders, after Chad Johnson, T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Jerome Simpson and Andre Caldwell, which two receivers make the team.

Apparently the Bengals keep "mounting" problems, such as arrests, PR disasters and bad defense. We say that some keep bringing old material to the table so they have at least something to talk about with the Bengals no matter how dated the argument is.

HA!

I kinda stopped, reading. I didn’t see…

Marvin Lewis and Paul Brown seem as aloof as ever, and the fan base is growing restless.

BRAINS!

So, we’ve got zombie management, then? Well, that explains a lot. As to the focus on our legal problems? Well, Henry is gone, the jury is yet to be empaneled- let alone back- on Ahmad Brooks. Quincy Wilson? Quincy Wilson? How long has it been since he was even on the squad. Odell’s still on the squad but his problems were mostly substance abuse and not legal. Jonathan Joseph had one run-in but, unless you’re a bus driver or maybe a pilot, a DUI isn’t cause for losing your job. And, yeah, Jason Shirley, Simeon Castille, and Maurice Purify have issues but you can bet your life if they slip up once, they’re toast. Meanwhile, the Cowboys accumulate trouble like a five-star halfway house, drunk drivin’ Jared Allen signs a huge free agent deal in the home of the infamous Love Boat, Joey Porter sucker Levi Jones and his former Steeler teammate is doing anger management for domestic abuse. Even the Carlton Banks of the NFL, Marvin Harrison is neck deep in an attempted murder investigation, Ray Lewis beat a murder charge, and does anyone remember Rae Carruth?

But it’s those wayward Bengals, those awful thuggish Bengals, who bear the brunt of public scrutiny and, you know what? We’ve got enough problems with this organization that have nothing to do with our players and questions about their character. Why doesn’t the media delve into the disaster that has been Mike Brown’s running of this franchise? Hell, why doesn’t the league at least look into it? When the Bengals look bad, the league looks bad. With the exceptions of Henry and Brooks- one dealt with, the other innocent til proven, everything else was small potatoes, things you or I wouldn’t be unemployed as a result of.

Chris Henry’s house probably has roaches- stubbed out in planters.
