The Bengals have Antonio Bryant and TO visiting today. And as much as I hate Mike Brown for all his penny pinching and stubborn refusal to adjust to the modern era of pro football, I kind of like what he's doing with these two players for the sheer twisted head to head mentality it might bring out. I'm not saying that Mike's going to toss a sharpened stick down between them or anything, but maybe he'll be able to drive both their prices down with them knowing the Bengals have other options (Many options, considering Mike Brown always reserves the right to flip the negotiating table over and tell everyone to go fuck themselves.) Of course, now that I've given MikeyBoy a little props he'll probably turn around and offer David Boston a giant 1 year deal out of nowhere.


I agree - at first I thought it was strange to have both of them in on the same day, but in reality it is actually a pretty smart business move. F Rosenhaus - the only leg he has to stand on is that "Chad likes T.O" - sorry buddy, that does not outweigh the fact that T.O is coming off a sub par season in Buffalo and pushing 37years old. . . with that being said, for some reason I still lean toward signing T.O for a cheap, 1 Year deal over Bryant who will likely want a multi-year contract and turn out to be only a half step above L.Coles (btw, I don't blame Coles or Bryant but rather Mike "He has the biggest hands in the Draft" Shepherd and the coaching staff for this sad reality)

Do you guys remember that cover to Sport Illustrated a few years ago when the Celtics got Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce? It was an NBA preview issue that came out right before the Celtics exploded back into the NBA elite.... could you just imagine a similiar NFL preview issue with Chad Ochocino, Antonio Bryant, and Terrell Owens on the cover?
...sigh... perchance to dream...

Lol...Just picturing Mikey flipping a table in that video (Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf", or was it Peter Gabriel's "Shock The Monkey" ?)
