Bengals-Cowboys underway...


Carson Palmer has apparently ditched the skirt in favor of...the really tight pants he wears football in. He started the game today despite a nagging injury.

And he got off to a good start. The very first play from scrimmage featured Carson Palmer throwing the ball to a Dallas defensive back. Nice work.

The Bengals can't do anything right. They should have turned it over on the kick return to speed things up.

The spread is 17.5. That's the largest spread on the board this weekend by more then a TD. Yet this is the national game on Fox. Go figure. Apparently Cowboys' 'Star Power' is the only force great enough to nullify the Bengals cosmic ineptitude.

I don't think Dallas covers. The games where you think the Bagels are going to get blown out are the ones where they actually show up, give you hope, then lose in spectacular fashion right at the end.

Of course, as I type that Dallas scores a TD on 4th and 4 from the 40 yard line and the 'Boys are up 10-0. They didn't hesitate for a second to go for it. Why would you?

Glenn Holt the Bengals kick returner is going to be the most worn out guy on the field by the end of the game.

Oh, and we have a Bobby Carpenter sighting! I guess he's being unimpressive full time as a special teamer these days in Dallas.
