CCI;1212861; said:Screw the Bengals I have followed the team for many years in winning and alot of years losing. This is just icing on the cake after what Carson said.
But I still will follow them not like some of the bandwagon fans out there. The bengals start winning thm fans come out of the wood work like cock roaches.
2 words GO BROWNS
OCBucksFan;1212927; said:I am sorry, that's some of the funniest shit I have read in a long time. Man, so you're giving up on the Bengals because they have Carson Palmer but going over to a team with Edwards and Winslow?
Fucking brilliant :tongue2:CCI;1212935; said:Who Dey going to arrest next
toby34a;1212984; said:You know, I really don't have a problem with this. I have a very strong attachment to Ohio State, but I'd expect other alums have a certain attachment to their own institutions. I know that Braylon Edwards will always root for Michigan. I know that Kellen Winslow will root for Miami in 2010-2011, along with Jamal Lewis. I'd hope that they had college ties.
The only thing that I've got a problem with is him shooting off his mouth like that in a public location when he knows that his remarks will make it back to Ohio. That's not smart when you know that Cincy fans are (well, the vast majority) most likely towards Ohio State.
However, I wouldn't mind seeing Kamerion Wimbley or Shaun Rogers knock him down a peg or two this year after we beat USC.
Carson Palmer not winning over fans at home
Bengals quarterback openly rooting against Ohio State against USC
By Thomas Bonk, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
July 24, 2008
Hut one, hut two. Open mouth, insert football.
That would be the snap count and cadence for Carson Palmer of USC and the Cincinnati Bengals, who had to break into some open-field fence-mending after airing out the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Palmer, who was in L.A. for former USC teammate Matt Leinart's charity bowling event, visited KLAC and wound up ripping the Buckeyes, who play the Trojans at the Coliseum on Sept. 13.
Said Palmer: "I don't watch what I say. I cannot stand the Buckeyes and having to live in Ohio. . . . It drives me completely nuts . . . I just can't wait for this game to get here so they can come out to the Coliseum and experience L.A. and get an old-fashioned Pac-10 butt-whipping."
Palmer explained later he was speaking to a local audience as a Trojans follower and didn't mean any harm.
At least Bengals owner Mike Brown got the joke. Kicking off the team's preseason news conference, Brown said he had an announcement to read.
"It says, 'Go Bucks,' signed, Carson Palmer."
Trivia time
What quarterback who played college football in Los Angeles and was a first-round NFL draft pick and said at his introductory pro news conference that he hardly ever read the local sports page or watched the TV sports because of negativity, said the traffic drove him crazy and was "ready to get out of L.A. [because] it's too up-tempo for me."?
[...]
Trivia answer
Carson Palmer of USC in 2003.
And finally
Todd Jones of the Columbus Dispatch wrote that he isn't sure Palmer's soliloquy against the hometown Buckeyes is such a big deal: "Opening the season against I-AA Youngstown State and charging your fans $70 per ticket is more offensive than anything Carson Palmer said."
buckeyefool;1212408; said:Quite a few, the fans fill the place and the fans get up and cheer for there team quite a bit. Do browns fans and steelers fans travel to see their team? they sure do, but that doesn't take away from the fact that bengals fans sell out that stadium week in and week out, as shown by the streak of sellouts...and not walk up sales, but season ticket sales.
I think the minority are the people that think it is "cool" to act like their team or city totaly sucks and to bad mouth them no matter what. Just like the social misfits in columbus who like to say they don't like the buckeyes because they get to much coverage. Go to a bengals game, you will see the seats filled and people that are there to cheer hard for their team. You will see parking lots filled with tailgates and busses painted in bengals motiffs. You will see people with their faces painted and dressed up. Do they get mad when the lose? yup. Do they complain about things? yup. But show me a sports fanchise where at least some of the fan base isn't upset with their team about something. The point is, people don't go to the games just to laugh at the team, or walk around town acting as if the team doesn't exist.
