Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph was arrested early Monday and charged with possession of marijuana, the ninth Cincinnati player arrested in the last nine months. That's right folks, this means in the last 13 months about 20 percent of the Cincinnati squad has been incarcerated! You may ask, "Why would a crazed Chicago Bears fan blog about the Bungles?" Well, my wife grew up in Cincy and her father agreed to forking over mad cash for Super Bowl tix if our two teams made it. Of coarse, he thought it was his year and the Bears wouldn't stand a chance. Boy, do I have a love/hate/kill relationship w/ the media...
It well could have been a championship season for those Bengals, but John Law is a bitch - haven't done the research yet, but my good buddy Mike G asserts that Cincy's football club might be the most arrested team in all of sports. What a waste of some real athletic talent over some triffling shit like weed, drunk driving and assault.
One more Bears/Bengals connection - Marvin Lewis might have gotten lax on keeping his boys in line, admitting “The biggest thing I would say to you is there’s some things probably that in the first year or so (as head coach) I wouldn’t tolerate, and I’ve become a little bit more tolerable of." Lovie and his boss Jerry Angelo are much less tolerant, but they didn't fire Tank Johnson for the guns/drugs/thugbuddy nonsense. Perhaps after the big game, Tank will be let go and seek a happy home in Cincy (if he's allowed to leave the state of Illinois)
