I think Zorn said that he threw the ball 61 yards while OFF balance. And he’s right, not many QBs can do that.

Out of all of the important issues with the Bengals organization, you bring up a dispute over tastes in music?
You’re killing me MDS.

Well that was newsworthy.

Campbell’s a good example why you take the smart QB rather than the ‘freaky athlete’ project guy. Also see Manning, P. and Brady, T.

It’s actually relevant. After the Giants D sacks Palmer 12 times on Sunday that is the song Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka have chosen as the theme song.

Yates had a massive block on a huge run in the Pats-Jets game. He is doing a great job filling in at Right Guard. Him missing time last year really hurt the PATS. He could start on a good 28 out of 32 teams because of his versatility to play any line position. He also is a pretty good long snapper (Although he hasn’t done it since college.)

He was quoting Edward John Smith…
For those of you who do not get the reference, his title was Captain and his ship was the Titanic.

I dont even know why the Lions got rid of Martz?? They are still running the spread offense (because there are always playing from behind) but now they have a worse coordinator. Lions Blow

I’m so glad Jason Campbell is “freaky athletic” and has the smarts. by the way, I didn’t realize he was sooo much more athletic than Tom Brady…we got lucky!! Or did we?….he’s dumber than Peyton Manning? Well…Dabooooo…you know him….I guess you would know. You have no idea what you’re talking about.

I swear to God that this site is worse than ESPN when it comes to the Bengal-hating. Not only was your chosen article not really newsworthy, it made it appear as if there was an actual problem when “The two wrestled for a few minutes, with Ocho Cinco mostly laughing and clinging to Shirley’s leg.”
Matt, just admit that you’re not impartial. Just admit that you’re biased. I’ll never mention it again.
