This page runs through a list of "retarded things". One of them is when the Bengals cut Odell Thurman. Don't take the list too seriously. Any time you have Danica in a bikini labeled as "retarded" then you really hold no value to me.

Peter Warrick signed with the Montreal Alouettes (a CFL team).

Domata Peko will cohost the Cincinnati Bengals Taste of NFL on June 13 at 6:30 pm.

By the time you're reading this, Jason Shirley's lawyers should be well on his way for jury selection.

You know NFL writers are bored when they open a weekly feature talking about, Tavaris Jackson. This proves a point I've always maintained. Bored NFL writers, writing about nothing-going-on NFL off-season stuff, does more damage to the league's image than most violations of the conduct policy. As you'll note however, I don't make the point with fire and brimstone like others because you could logically group us in that same category. Moving on...

Dave takes a look at Bengals tight ends.

The Enquirer hasn't updated their Bengals blog "section" since introducing said Bengals blog "section" on May 22.

I have to admit that I agree with him on both Odell- wholeheartedly, and on Danica. Frankly, if she wasn’t famous, she might, just might, end up that girl clutching the bar for balance as the lights come up and my luck’s been bad all night. ;) His point, however, that she shouldn’t be feted so royally until she’s actually won something alright, one race, is spot on. Except, I don’t remember him complaining about the cheesecake images of the non-winner, Anna Kournikova. Of course, I wasn’t complaining then either.

“Alouette, gentille Alouette = Meadowlark, nice meadowlark
Alouette, je te plumerai. = Meadowlark, I will pluck you.
Je te plumerai la tete. = I’ll pluck the feathers from your head.
Je te plumerai la tete. = I’ll pluck the feathers from your head.
Et la tete, et la tete, = And the head, and the head,
Ooooooh! = Ooooooooh!”

What? Oh, Peter Warrick? Good for him. Man, he was a badass at FSU.

One size XXL hairnet, coming up.

If it was T-a-v-a-r-E-s, he’d at least have being named for a group on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack going for him.

It’s been since the McGee-era that I’ve actually thought about tight ends- well, the football position anyway- positively, especially this early in the pre-season.
