Sadly, Another Bengal Is Arrested

[Brady'sButtBoy]

What in the name of Bill Walsh is going on in Cincy? I take no satisfaction in this report; it's a matter of scientific record at this point...

That's gotta be one of the funniest thread titles I have read in a long time

The best part is the bride and groom were arrested too.

I know. I think Bengals continually getting arrested is hilarious. Who's next?

It's pacman I find sad. Guy just can't stay out of strip clubs even if it will cost him milions.

What can Ownership/Management do?

I'm changing my offseason prediction... I now think this season the bengals will go 10-6.

10 indicted, 6 convicted.

What can Ownership/Management do?

SHort term: Cut a couple guys who embarrass them. So far they condone behavior because the only guy they punished was a JAG who they wouldn't miss anyway. Cut two or three of the offenders, the ones who are most disruptive in the locker room and are leders of the bad boy clique.. That way you improve the locker room atmosphere and show you are serious that you will not tolerate this behavior.

Long term: Stop drafting guys with character issues until the locker room only has one or two of these guys. Most teams can absorb a miscreant or two because the tone of the locker room keeps them down a little bit. When you have several, they form their own clique and are oblivious to vet influence. When you have too many, as the Bengals do, you reach critical mass and the locker room influence tips. The wrong guys are setting the tone, and things get out of control quickly.

They won't do it because they think they need these guys to win. Eventually it will get so bad they will have to cut their losses.

Wilson, Chris Henry and PACMAN all from WVU. What is with the incredible punk factor at that school?

I know it's West (by G-d) Virginia but don't the bride and groom usually have someplace else to be AFTER the wedding and reception?????

You think with his money he can have the strippers come to his house.

It's really, really hard to cut guys for off the field issues, unless they have a "good citizen" type clause in their contract. Most don't. Heck Lenard Little killed someone while driving drunk and he is still in the league.

I thought you HAD to have a record to be on the team? The bigger the record the better the locker,and parking spot.
I don't have any sympthy for this organasation,HOW many players have been arrested 10-12 I don't have enough toes to count them all,and it just keeps on happening.

Don't you just hate how expensive hotel rooms are?

Ya, but it wasn't the wedding night sex the groom was expecting.

Not always a good idea -- just ask the Duke lacrosse players.

You never know what kind of headcase will show up.

Although I imagine he has enough $$$ to get some good dancers to avoid the Duke headaches.

I'm not sure about that, look what Chris Henry's money got him: http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070620/NEWS01/706200363

The case isn't Beamon's first court contact.

Beamon accused Cincinnati Bengals star Chris Henry of rape last year. She later recanted her statement and said her sex with Henry had been consensual.
