Bengals Beat

Wow, it's been a while between posts! But what a day to be a Bengals fan

1. Chad Johnson is now Chad Ocho Cinco - legally. My take? I think the guy's gone completely batty. Like certifiable. I mean, it was funny at one point... kinda. But now, I just scratch my head and try and figure out what's going on inside of his own. Get this guy a shrink.

2. The Bengals have apparantly cut Rudi Johnson. That's really too bad, I'm a big Rudi fan. He's a great community guy, a team player, great work ethic and a guy who could lead by example. And I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I feel all that comfortable with Chris Perry in the backfield. Sure, he's looked good, but health is a major concern here. And if he goes down, do you put your team's success on the shoulders of Kenny Watson? Really?

3. Apparently, Bengals fans are the 26th best in the NFL. Most of the justification behind this is that we're disenchanted with the team. Does this make us bad fans? Or just intelligent ones? They also threw in there that we got on Carson for his USC/OSU comments. Not so sure about that one, either. I think Bengals fans are some of the best in the country, we also just happen to have a crap team to root for, and we're smarter than some of those fans who blindly support their crap team.
