God of the Golden Arms will allow no knife to penetrate his golden arm

What's the best thing that could be learned for Bengals fans? No, not Mike Brown stepping down. No, not Bob Bratkowski getting replaced. No, not winning a playoff game. While those would be nice (boy, they would be really nice), neither of those are going to happen relatively soon -- though the optimistic Kool-aid Bengals fan in me screams that the Bengals will be far better next season than 2008.

C Trent writes that Carson Palmer will NOT need surgery on his throwing elbow during the off-season. C Trent writes that "Palmer had an MRI the last week of the season and, according to Brennan, it revealed the healing process had worked on its own and Palmer should be ready for the team's entire 2009 offseason work."

That means voluntary camps, mandatory camps, training camps, pre-season, etc. That means the God of Golden Arms will become the golden messiah for redemption, invasion and occupation in the AFC North. It means that the poor will be rich, the starving with bullies full. And it means that the apocalypse of 2012 is simply scary promotion from the conspiracy-minded.

Did I lay that on a little thick?

No, not at all...

…it’s great news that Carson’s elbow is healthy just in time for the start of the offseason. Wouldn’t want it to hurt his participation in the local frisbee golf league…

and don't forget...

…do we still have the Carson Palmer Cornhole Classic to look forward to? How’s he going to toss those beanbags with a bum elbow…hrrmmmm????

Seriously, though, if Carson is in all the preseason activities and The WR Tandem didn’t learn anything from last year’s complete lack of rhythm and timing to start the season, we’re already in trouble.
