Comments on: LEWIS ACKNOWLEDGES SHIRLEY “A RISK” http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/27/lewis-acknowledges-shirley-a-risk/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Thu, 21 Aug 2008 19:40:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: JohnStofa http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/27/lewis-acknowledges-shirley-a-risk/#comment-21772 JohnStofa Mon, 28 Apr 2008 18:45:17 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/04/27/lewis-acknowledges-shirley-a-risk/#comment-21772 Did that Dallas fan say they get the guys on their last chances and that everyone ELSE is an apologist? -laughs- I guess Michael Irvin being busted in a hotel room with a crack pipe and Nate Newton getting pulled over with over 200 lbs of pot in his car don't count? Also...if they already know they are turds and THEN they sign them aren't they even more guilty of enabling these idiots? The funniest part to me is half the people complaining about these guys being arrested for DUI are driving home from a bar half bombed on Sunday evening after all the games ;) Glass houses ya know.

All teams take risks on "character issue" guys. With the Cowboys actively chasing after bad-boy poster boys Pacman and Tank, the Steelers assembling as many wife-beaters as they can find, and the Vikings handing over huge money to a guy with a history of drinking problems right on the heals of their failed Koren Robinson experiment, there's no reason the Bengals should get any less benefit of the doubt for dropping a 5th round pick on a character-issue guy. If fans want the NFL cleaned up, then you're welcome to your opinion. Just stop harping on the Bengals when they are certainly not alone. Google "Jaguars" and "arrest" and then explain to me why they don't get the same comments that the Bengals do. If the reason is because they've had a better record than the Bengals, then you might want to think about that. I’m pleased the Bengals haven’t been intimidated by all the sniping from others.

Why do you keep piling on the Bengals? They accumulated 22 turd points for all of 2007. 9 of those points were assigned to Chris Henry for not wearing a seat belt, turning without a turn signal, and driving with a suspended license which was re-instated at that time. Many other teams had 2 and 3 times as many turd points. Why aren't these teams attacked for all their violations? Why single out the Bengals? I can only imagine the huge criticism if they picked McFadden, yet no one mentioned a word about Oakland. What about Chicago, Denver, Tampa, Dallas, Oakland, Miami, Jacksonville, Minnesota, Tennessee and San Diego? Check it out. These teams have accumulated many, many turds, yet they are not criticized. The Bengals discarded all but 2 or 3 turds. They now have more good character players than most of the other teams in the NFL. Please make note of that fact. Be fair and objective in your editorials.

So they're not all turds. Maybe half of them are turds. and as of now, Cinci's last pick is in and it's *another* WR, Mario Urrutia. 3 WRs and a TE... as a fan all I hope they do is bring some game, because it looks like housecleaning time at Paul Brown Stadium.
