Carson Palmer (Arizona Cardinals)

I don't really care that he talked trash, it's just the fact that he's complaining about a fanbase so similar to the one he played for at USC.. There are USC fans everywhere, they're a huge draw, they're a fantastic team every year, and they love their coach. He's calling OSU fans arrogant, yet acting arrogant himself.

If it weren't for that, I wouldn't give a shit what he said. I don't expect him to kiss OSU's ass, and he shouldn't. But acting like OSU fans are any more arrogant than USC fans is fucking stupid.

Tibor, in response to your ruby, what does OSU getting beat in consecutive National Championships have anything to do with Palmer's comments?

I actually like Palmer, I just have a problem with the hypocrisy in his comments. There is irony/hypocrisy in putting down the arrogance of one fanbase, while being arrogant about your own school.

I have a hard time believing Palmer has to listen to Buckeyes talk all the time. I've lived in Cincy for ten years, and I can't name one person from here who can name five players on the current roster. The number of Bengal fans who really support OSU probably wouldn't fill an entire row of a section at PBS. Most OSU fans are Browns fans. I would guess that there are more OSU/Steeler fans than OSU/Bengal fans. I grew up a Bengals fan, although it's hard to support them when they can't feild a competitive team. I'm done with Palmer. He's got no intermediate/short game. I can't count the number of times I've seen him float a screen pass so high that Oden couldn't get a finger on it. Larry Johnson was robbed!

I can't believe you guys haven't realized what happened here, Ty Willingham hypnotized Carson Palmer, so you're really blaming the wrong person here. Also, Jim Rome made a much bigger issue out of it than it really needed to be, but Ty Willingham probably had something to do with that as well.

Palmer, Brown sound off on OSU vs. USC

All in good fun: QB rips OSU to Trojan audience; team president gives Palmer a history lesson.

CINCINNATI ? Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer may want to moonlight as a cornerback. He's smooth with his backpedal.
After ripping Ohio State on a Los Angeles radio station ? the Buckeyes visit Southern Cal on Sept. 13 ? Palmer softened his stance in the face of a brutal backlash.
"I'm a Trojan all the way, and I was talking to a Trojan audience in California," Palmer said. "I guess I got a little fired up, as all good fans will do.
"But I really do respect the Buckeyes, and I know their fans are passionate, too. I hope they all understand I'm just looking forward to a big game for my school against a very tough opponent, and that it's all in the good fun of a rivalry. You don't have a real rivalry unless both sides are great teams."
Bengals president Mike Brown gave Palmer a history lesson on Tuesday, July 22. Brown's father, Paul Brown, was head coach at Ohio State from 1941-43, guiding the Buckeyes to the 1942 national title.
"(Palmer) might not know that my dad coached at Ohio State and beat USC two years in a row, 33-0 and 28-12," Brown said. "If he wants to make something over that, he knows where he can find me.

Palmer's OSU rant shows a lapse in judgment

By Sean McClelland

Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer, a proud Southern Cal alum, went too far in his rant against Ohio State.
Yes, he's since backpedaled and it was mainly all in fun, but I don't think he was smiling when he said what he said and it came off as vicious. "I can't believe he ripped the Buckeyes like that," one disheartened OSU fan who also roots for the Bengals told me Tuesday. "He's right in the heart of Buckeye nation!"
In case you missed it, Palmer said this, among other things, to a Los Angeles radio station:
"I cannot stand the Buckeyes. It's amazing to hear what those guys think about that university and what they think about that football program and (OSU coach Jim) Tressel and all the crap I gotta put up with being back there. ... I'm really getting sick of it."
It was as vitriolic a tirade as anyone's heard out of Palmer on any subject.

Carson's a good man

OK, Buckeye fans, put yourself in this scenario:
You're an Ohio State alum, a lifelong diehard Buckeyes follower.
You live in Florida. You have to live with Gators fans, harassing you daily about the SEC's dominance, about how bad the Big Ten is, about the Buckeyes' weak schedule.
Would that not drive you nuts?
Now, you're back home in Ohio on vacation, and a former college roommate of yours has a radio talk show. He calls you up and asks you if you have to curtail your Ohio State fan-dom when you're in Florida.
What would you say? Heck no, is what you would say, I can't stand those stinkin' Gators. I can't wait to play them again, and I hope we kick their butts and send them back to SEC country with their tails between their legs.
Isn't that what you would say?

There are bandwagon USC fans everywhere.

A couple of 6-6 seasons will only leave the die hards....all twelve of them.


Bengals president Mike Brown gave Palmer a history lesson on Tuesday, July 22. Brown's father, Paul Brown, was head coach at Ohio State from 1941-43, guiding the Buckeyes to the 1942 national title.

If Mike wasn't such a waste that would be a great quote.

The episode does speak volumes about Carson's intelligence.
