Carson Palmer admits major cocaine problem


Nope, unfortunately that's not the case.

That would probably be easier to handle.

No, it wasn't recreational drug use that left Carson in this state, it was the New Orleans Saints. Palmer's nose was broken while sacked late in the first half of a preseason game Saturday.

From a quick review of the stats, it looks like the rest of the team got pretty well beat up too. The Bengals dropped an impressive goose egg on the scoreboard at home against the Saints Saturday night while giving up 13 points. Nice work assholes. By all accounts this game wasn't nearly as close as 13-0 indicates.

The Bengals also let the Saints starting offense put up almost 300 yards of offense while their own couldn't muster 100. Looking good!

I suppose I was being lulled into the same old Bengals mentality that perpetuated throughout the '90's. That's basically, "They can't possibly be as bad as people say they are."

Oops.

This was the third game of the preseason, the "dress rehearsal". And while it's been well-documented that preseason games in fact are no indicator of regular season success, the Bengals have long since used up any benefit of the doubt.

So truthfully, I presumed that the Bagels wouldn't be as bad as folks thought what with Chad Johnson getting back on board and all. However, at this point it might be more healthy to assume that we're about to witness more of the same from the orange and black. And by "more of the same", I mean the Bengals of the '90's.

Fucking shitheads. Man does this garbage get old.

Fortunately the Cleveland Clowns were none too impressive in their latest effort. Misery loves company.
