I guess they're now obsessed with the Bengals now that Carson Palmer's declared war on the Steelers.
I knew I liked this kid! Of course, I tend to root for any guy to come back from such a nasty knee injury.

It's May 25 and Sirius NFL Radio is flooded with Steelers and Bengals talk.
Why?
It is because of Mike Silver's outstanding cover story in this week's edition of Sports Illustrated documenting Carson Palmer's quest to be on the field for opening day following major knee surgery.
In the article, Palmer talks about his hatred for the Steelers.
He doesn't call out a player or rip the Pittsburgh organization. The quarterback isn't disrespectful. Palmer just loathes the Steelers and wants what that organization has — a championship. He speaks for every Bengal player and fan.
This is fantastic for the game. The Bengals-Steelers rivalry has been one-sided nearly forever. Now, based on the Steelers' winning the Super Bowl, the Pittsburgh run started in a game where Palmer's knee was ripped up, the Bengals winning the AFC North, the comparisons between the quarterbacks, and now Palmer's comments, the Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh games will be as anticipated as any this season.
