The Official Cinncinatti Bengals Asshat running commentary

Apparently, we've pissed off the asshat contingent.

 

Are you Chris Henry's mother?

 

The Bengals are officially on my "bad ju-ju" vibe for the season.


All the off-field distractions. A defense that was pretty damn pourous. A QB coming off a major surgery.

bad ju-ju.

 

they are turning into the Portland TrailBlazer's.... TrailGangsta's,JailBlazer's

 

BENGALS REELING FROM CRITICISM

Wow. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis is, in our view, pretty darn close to cracking up.

And for good reason. He's got a growing nucleus of turds on his team, and as we've recently reported the majority of guys who aren't turds are getting sick of it.

So what does Lewis do? He blames it on the press.

Per Mark Curnuttte of the Cincinnati Enquirer, Lewis "chided" the media on Wednesday for the "thunderous" attention given to the criminal charges pending against Chris Henry, Frostee Rucker, A.J. Nicholson, and Matthias Askew.

"It's ludicrous for anybody to feel that these actions, or anything, taint, or have any negative approach on the core or mentality of our football team," Lewis said.

But based on comments originating from players in the very locker room over which Lewis presides, there is a taint. Put simply, the guys who haven't gotten arrested one or more times during the offseason are getting sick of Marvin's propensity to embrace guys who have.

That's the real problem here. Guys like Henry and Rucker and Nicholson and Virginia linebacker Ahmad Brooks were available lower in the draft that their talent would suggest because they are, well, turds. And yet Marvin embraced them.

So now the team is forced to seek cover behind concepts like the "presumption of innocence."

"It's just the general policy in this country that until you're convicted of something, you're not assumed to be guilty of it," team president Mike Brown said on Wednesday.

Yeah, Mike. It's the general policy. In a courtroom. Not in a business that markets itself to members of the public who are turned off by guys who repeatedly get themselves into situations in which they need to invoke the presumption of innocence.

You see, most normal people don't get arrested four times in six months. And they don't have a string of allegations made against them over a course of a decade by women with whom they've interacted. And their blood isn't found in an apartment where they allegedly cut their hand while allegedly committing a burglary. And they don't have to taste the business end of a Taser three times as the nightcap of an evening on the town.

The issue here isn't whether these guys get convicted -- it's that Lewis knowingly has welcomed men of questionable character into the locker room. And now the whole thing is blowing up in his face.

So what's the best strategy for dealing with the situation?

Blame it all on someone else.

Hey -- it's a tradition as American as the presumption of innocence.

Hmmm... santurdio, nucleus of turds, taint... they got something on the brain.

 

It is the water in Covington, KY. Well that and the stripclubs.

 

Asshat rules, as does Fucktard, Dick you Down and It Aint gonna suck itself.

Yes, ive said it in public and thousands of miles away in some Irish community the affects are rippling.

 

I dunno. I do worry about the ju-ju, but I kinda like them too. The D was definitely porous as hell, but got a lot of turnovers. So if the D improves just a little, and Carson comes back ....... then they are right back where they were last year.

Plus, criminals - and asshats - are fine as long as you are winning. Go 6-10 and then it's a "chemistry" problem.
