Let me start off this post by saying I am glad HBO has decided to follow the Cincinnati Bengals at training camp. I have seen the first episode and am so far impressed how the cameras have been handled with the players and I am glad we get some insight into training camp. Its nice to see how the players are reacting and it was great to see a side of some players you don't usually get to see. As pointed out by fellow blogger Vince, Chris Henry was driven to training camp by Quarterback Carson Palmer. Now if im not mistaken I believe that because of Chris Henry's multiple arrests and DUIs that he has his license suspended and the more time he can spend with a guy like Carson Palmer the better. If he stays straight he may have the Randy Moss Jr. season that Carson Palmer believes he can have. Ohh right the sides of training camp I was talking about. I have said in the past to many Bengals fans that Reggie Kelly isn't a good player, in fact I said he isn't worth what he was being paid. After seeing all he was doing as a leader I have an all new respect for Reggie so if by some miracle Reggie Kelly reads this blog, I am truly sorry for all comments that may be posted that are negative about you.
Preseason:
I loved what I saw in our first preseason game. I know its preseason but it sets the tone for the whole season, kind of. First off Carson Palmer played magnificent. He threw great pass routes and was under pressure all game as usual. So Andre Smith needs to get his ass in camp and Mike Brown needs to pay him the money that he deserves. If Andre can get in there and stop some of the pass rush, Carson Palmer is going to be the Carson Palmer of 2005 before his injury. I was also incredibly impressed with Chris Henry. He was a pure monster. All of the ESPN analysts criticized Carson Palmer for calling Chris Randy Moss Jr. and if he keeps this up, he will make all those analysts look like fools. Okay and the last player that looked especially good to me was Bernard Scott. It seemed like every time he saw a hole he took it and hit it hard (that's what she said) and that's what Rudi Johnson did not do. Rudi danced around in the backfield and got dropped for a loss every time.
And My Final Burn Michael Vick:
First of all if you watch the 60 Minutes interview with Michael that aired tonight you will see that he is not remorseful for crimes that he has committed. He is sorry that he got caught but not sorry for what he did to those dogs and he will never be sorry for what he did. My first problem, he gets 2 years in jail for murdering dogs and lying about it. He gets two years, two years. Two years, Really? He should be in there for a hell of a lot longer than that. And then he gets out and gets a 20 dollar and hour job. Im sorry but if your not Michael Vick you don't get a 20 dollar an hour job. You want to teach him a lesson, make him work at McDonalds for two years and show him a life, life that he probably hasn't seen in a long time. And after he works his job for a couple of weeks he signs a contract in which he will make 8 million dollars in two years. Where is the lesson in that? Its the same lesson that has been taught for years, Pro athletes get away with anything and someone needs to end this cycle and throw an athlete away for good. Michael Vick should have gotten 5 years in prison and he didn't. So now his fate is in the commissioners hand. Lets remember that Michael lied to Roger's face. Im sorry that would piss me off. Vick should be suspended for the next two seasons. This wont teach him a lesson but it will prevent him from playing which hurts Vick. Don't get me wrong everyone deserves a second chance but where is the lesson learned? There was none and he shows no remorse for the things he was done.
