Palmer put his Laguna Beach house on the market. The writer isn't sure why, but Carson realizes truth -- Cincinnati is way better than L.A. YEA!
Marvin Lewis should be on the hot seat. Others are actually wondering what he has to do to be put on the hot seat.
Rudi Johnson will start the season, but Kenny Watson is a more valuable running back. Just ignore the misspelling of "Cincinatti".
Cincinnati has the fifth best offensive line in the AFC.
Rudi Johnson talks about his cars.
This site lists Anthony Munoz as the greatest offensive tackle... ever (we can't argue that... at all). Willie Anderson received honorable mention.
Chick Ludwig points out that none of the Bengals draft picks have been signed yet.
