    Poor James. Sad to see him go and sad to see him sully his career like this.
    I do not think the Bengals could sully James' career anymore than James himself has with his mouth.

    You can always sink lower when you're with the Bengals.
    The consistent factor of all of your dissatisfying relationships and failures is you.

    R.W. 09.21.10 I love you.

    Hope they included some weight clauses in there, because him getting a ring is exactly the kind of thing that would get him to stop working.

    Yah, good move as long as it doesn't guarantee much.

    Its often a mixture of both. But this year it was a case of teams going Larry Brown/Oakland Raider moronic on Ellerbe and Kruger. The chances of those two players living up to those deals is slim to none.

    It kind of goes in cycles for whatever reason but most every year you can point to a player or two that got a ridiculous deal because some GM with their head up their *** evidently only watched the playoffs and decided what he saw in those 1 or 2 games completely overshadowed the previous 48 games he had seen from that player.

    I think you underrate both of those players. They got overpaid, that's the market, but they aren't Larry Brown either. Lets not put the rest of the league in Al Davis territory.
