Yesterday, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell reinstated the #51 Odell Thurman Jersey back into countless wardrobes. Not only that, but apparently he’s also going to play football this year after his two year mission teaching kids in Quebec the words of Christ.
On the other side of the spectrum, Cincinnati fans are forming rapid response teams to weed out every Chad Johnson jersey in the tri-state area and expel them to countries that haven’t been insulted by Chad, yet. Who Dey Revolution is coordinating with local bars and restaurants to have drop boxes for the radioactive 85 jerseys.
With Chad all but goading the West Side to hunt him down then tar and feather him, Odell seems to be coming back into the picture just at the right time. I, for one, am ready for his fearless/reckless style of play. As long as he’s hitting people hard enough that they cough up the ball or start trying to backtrack and end up losing yards, it doesn’t matter how many blown assignments he has on a series. And also, every other LB on the roster blows assignments, with the possible exception of Dhani “Buy My Bow Ties” Jones.
Odell has something the Bengal’s defense has been lacking since January of 2006; A frightening look in his eyes that makes people like Ben Roethslinger think twice about scrambling. Let’s just hope and pray that he doesn’t still have Chris Henry’s number.
Alright! Congratulation!
