I’m just guessing that Chris Henry left his crack pipe in his locker and Marvin Lewis picked it up.
Seriously, if the Bengals win the Super Bowl this year, I will walk to Cincy (some 500 miles), paint my body like a tiger, and march in thier victory parade.

Boy tomdog_64, the comment about Favre was funny. No one is above being made fun of.
Boy 75 years of crap from the Lions. When thanking the fans, what can they say other than we don’t why, but thanks for still being a Lions fan.
A losing Regular Season Overall Record
A losing Playoff Record
About the only thing have to hang their hats on is the four championships, too bad they haven’t done anything since the 50s in that department.

tomdog_64 is right, mean-sprited comments by the editors of this site are just childish and don’t add to the reporting.
Using the line that “nobody is above being made fun of” is a sign of someone who hates their life so much they need to bring others “down” to their level.
I highly encourage the editors to stop the negative comments.

I just don’t think making fun of someone who has an addiction that stemmed from the pains of playing football is ‘fair game.’ If it is, then is the fact that Daunte Culpepper was born in a federal prison to a mother who was incarcerated funny too? Let’s keep going with it. Sean Taylor jokes anyone?? We’re all football fans, but we’re people first.

Cory, Any coach in the NFL that tells their team that they cannot win a Superbowl should be fired!
Better get your orange and black paint ready!
