Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Tuesday afternoon links and notes -- the Jags are the new Bengals?

It would appear that there's some interest in the Minnesota media about the Vikings contacting Willie Anderson.

T.J. Houshmandzadeh tells ESPN's James Walker to stop disrespecting the Bengals: "But we're going to be better than what your co-workers [at ESPN] think we are. So tell your co-workers we will see how much they really know, because we will be better than what you all think."

The Jaguars have become the new Bengals for off-the-field conduct? This blogger (aka, me) says, "ABOUT DAMN TIME".

Peter King's predictions are typically around the popularity of the sport. So, let's examine. AFC Champions, New England Patriots. Check. NFL MVP, Tom Brady. Check. Though I'm giving some love to Kay in Dallas.

Cincinnati Bearcats quarterback, Dustin Grutza won the Big East Offensive Player of the Week (21 of 28, 296 yards, three touchdowns, 33 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown).

Legal issues

With the recent departures of Ahmad Brooks and Detha O’Neil we would be down to 2 arrested players (Joseph and Shirley) if we hadn’t resigned Chris Henry.

However, after thinking through the pro’s(deep threat) and con’s(at risk of getting suspended) of re-acquiring Chris Henry, the primary negative is that it gives the talking heads ammunition to keep running with the ‘Bengals are criminals’ story instead of doing real reporting, degrading our football watching experience.

Ouch.

You guys will always have us beat in the quality of player arrests over the quantity of Jaguars arrests. In all seriousness, I think the criminal team meme is a waste of time. Frankly, the amount of players in the league that get in trouble make me wonder how many are getting away with it or are one slip away from a drama bomb.

agreed

even the Pats had some dude arrested for drug dealing. No one has cornered the market on bad behavior/legal problems- though the national sports media(and Goodell) would have you believe that we do. Also, RFM, Jason Shirley’s arrest doesn’t count because he wasn’t a Bengal when it happened- that and I’m a Jason Shirley apologist.

Right on for T.J. taking the moron Walker to task. Finally, a little public swagger from Camp Mikey.

Also, UK’s Myron Pryor was named “SEC Defensive Player of the Week”. Good job by Grutza but Big East anything just doesn’t have the same cachet as “SEC Defensive Player of the Week”. Yes, I’m an alum…
