The Seasons Turn In Cincy

Sports seasons, that is.  The big sports news here (other than it being after the All-Star Break and the Reds still in the playoff hunt) is the dream combination of Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco for Carson Palmer to throw to this fall, and whether or not the universe can survive it.
Rumors are buzzing about Terrell Owens and where he might end up this season. The perennial Pro-Bowler, talented wide-out and all-round headache for coaches, seems to be playing nice with the Cincinnati Bengals, specifically Chad Ochocinco. Additionally, the guy at the helm of the team, Carson Palmer, likes what he sees.


Now, the thought of an Owens and Ochocinco wide-out tandem is pretty scary, but can a team really survive two inflated ego's THAT big?
Don Martelli doesn't think so and neither do I.  Owens has sunk every team he's been on, the only question is does the team in question get glory first before TO crashes and burns the squad.  Ask the Niners, Eagles, Cowboys and even the Bills what they think of the guy.

This may be one of those rare seasons where everyone's still talking about the Reds while the Bengals are playing, but the odds of that happening go to zero if TO is signed.

We'll see.

    Well look at Randy Moss and what he did on the Pats, and more importantly what he did before them.

    Granted Marvin Lewis is no Bill Belichick there is always hope for a player turning things around and the Bengals have put a lot of pride into giving players a second chance

    and third

    and forth

    and so on...

    But in all seriousness they should be a good football team, last season was an utter disappointment, how do you sweep one of the toughest divisions in the league and then flop in the first round? Especially after facing the same team 2 weeks in a row...

    Thanks for the plug on the TO and Ochocinco story. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Their are only a few footballs to go around.

    As for Moss and the Pats, I don't think there's a comparison. He is the star of the wideout group. Wes Welker is second to him of course. However, Moss is the ego of the group and there's no one that competes with him on that front.

    There's also the fact that Brady is at the helm vs. Carson Palmer. Moss knows where his bread is buttered. Palmer is good, but he's no Brady.
