Usually when I'm forced to choose sides that means that Ohio State is playing the University of Cincinnati in basketball or football. Rarely have I run into instances where my allegiance to the Buckeyes have been challenged by my incredibly lame affinity for the Cincinnati Bengals.
That all changed today when I received an email from a friend entitled, "Carson Palmer has Syphilis". Ironically, the email did not contain the results of a blood test.
The email did contain however a sound bite from an interview Bengals' QB Carson Palmer recently did with a Los Angeles radio station. The person conducting the interview asked Palmer what it was like living in Ohio a couple hundred miles from The Ohio State University and if he was looking forward to the OSU-USC games that will be played this year and next year.
Needless to say, Carson Palmer is not all that enamored with the Buckeyes or their fans. He invokes the dreaded "those people" reference that clearly indicates he's inherently "better" then others for some ill-defined reason.
Palmer's comments are neither surprising or all that scandalous in the grand scheme. They do confirm what I have always known about the Pro-Bowl QB. He is an outstanding individual on the field, and for the most part a big, dumb animal off of it. That's my guy.
You can listen to the audio here, which for some reason is linked through some Cleveland Cavaliers blog or something? Whatever. It's good for a chuckle.
