There isn't a day that an injury report goes by without searching for my favorite Bengals player, Willie Anderson. His season, a struggle for sure, has been marred with injury one year after signing an extension that likely took Eric Steinbach out of the re-sign players stack. Now, he's in the hopeful to retire category. People are preaching it. Willie is listening to it.
I still think he has plenty to offer -- both as a player and a team leader. I understand that his production isn't the youthful power blocker he used to be. And I think Stacy Andrews has done a fine job. But Willie? Retire? Hell no.
Site News. The past few days have been hectic and the new few business days will be. At work, we're making a major transition. That will leave things a little slow at times.
